Chapter 425: Daughter's Day Doll 3
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Ai didn't follow Ayumi a few, and stood on the side of the aisle with Gao Cheng with his hands behind his back.
"What's wrong with the worries?"
"How could something happen by such a coincidence, I just stayed and watched."
"Are you supposed to ......" Xiao Aihu stared at Gao Chengdao suspiciously, "Shouldn't you still be playing with the idea of that set of Daughter's Day dolls?" β
"How is it possible, that set of dolls was given to Ayumi, how could I grab it with Ayumi?"
Gao Cheng looked over his head at the staircase.
"By the way, that collector seems to live in this apartment too, right?"
"Any questions?" Xiao Ai said flatly, "The lady said that the other party lives in room 503 downstairs. β
"I don't understand, 40 million is not a small amount, the Kanye family is obviously short of money but insists on not selling it......"
"Of course there is a reason for this," said the old woman, who came with her hands behind her back, "and there are things that money cannot buy." β
"Old woman?"
Gao Cheng looked at the rickety old man in surprise: "Why did you come out?" β
"There doesn't seem to be any sugar at home, so I'll buy some sugar," the old woman said in a hoarse voice, "but aren't you with those children?" β
"Uh, this, it's enough for a few of them to go," Gao Cheng smiled dryly and took out the detective badge, "Let them buy Sucrose by the way, don't need your mother-in-law to run again......"
How could he explain that he was worried about what would happen to him?
"Huh?" The old woman looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously and used the detective badge to contact Conan, and stared at the old man in a daze.
"Are you alright, mother-in-law?"
"No, it's okay, is this a phone?"
"It's a walkie-talkie, it's a little smaller, but it's often broken, and the power is not enough......"
Gao Cheng smiled and talked to Conan about Sucrose, just in time to see the previous appraisal expert Mie coming from the staircase.
"Old lady," Mie said happily when he saw that the old man hadn't gone far, "can I take my phone?" Because there may be something important......"
The old woman squinted her eyes and nodded: "Okay, I don't have to go out to buy sugar anymore...... But let's say it first, no matter what you say, we won't sell that hanging scroll. β
"Actually, Mr. Jinqu is right, it is wiser to hand over the Thor hanging scroll to a professional collector as soon as possible......"
"Hmph, you took his money, right?"
The old man opened the door without a good face.
"The phone is in the living room, take it and leave quickly......"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just speaking objectively."
Mie walked into the living room a little embarrassed, and was suddenly shocked by the chaos of the living room: "ThisβWhat's going on?" β
"What's wrong?"
Gao Cheng followed into the living room, and suddenly found that the entire living room seemed to have been turned over by someone, the balcony glass door was open, the curtains were floating in the wind, and miscellaneous things were scattered all over the ground, and there was a fax machine next to it that clicked non-stop, and fax paper was blown everywhere.
"It's a document faxed by Mr. Kanno......"
"It seems like it's not just the living room," Xiao Ai whispered outside, "and the bedroom over here has been turned over as well." β
"It's strange," said the old woman, confused, "I was fine when I went out just now......
"Did a thief come in?"
Gao Cheng picked up a fax paper: "Mother-in-law, do you have a fax when you go out?" β
"I guess," Mie helped, "because I just called, and when the old lady hung up, there was the sound of the fax machine starting." β
Gao Cheng silently put down the fax paper and looked at the balcony: "Let's see if there is anything lost in the house first." β
The old lady only went out for a few minutes, which was too weird.
β¦β¦
Kazuma, Conan and the others also returned to Kanno's house after a while, and along with Kanno's housewife who returned because she forgot to bring her wallet, everyone was almost shocked by the changes in the house.
"The only thing that was stolen was the Thor hanging scroll here, and sure enough, a thief came in......"
Mitsuhiko and Motota followed and looked at the place where the scroll had been hung.
"It's disgusting, not only did I steal the paintings, but I also turned the house into a mess."
"IβI see," Mie's face was ugly, "let's call the police first......
"It's not too late to call the police later."
Gao Cheng interrupted: "Someone sneaked into the house just a few minutes after the old lady went out, it seems that it is not as simple as a thief, in such a short time, sneaking in, rummaging, stealing paintings and then escaping...... Isn't it too fast? And the old lady and I were not far from the door, and no one was in or out......"
"Could it be that it came in from Yota?" Mitsuhiko spoke, "Isn't this often the case on TV? The thief climbed down the rope from the roof......"
Gao Cheng smiled: "Then why did you choose this room?" The curtains in the living room are closed, and the glass doors should be closed before, so you can't see the inside of the house from the outside, and isn't it easy to spot playing a rope game outside during the day? β
Mitsuhiko said: "This, maybe the thief has been hiding on the balcony, and then heard the old woman call and said that he had to go out before coming in......"
"Not to mention that there is still a fax machine ringing in the house, there may still be people waiting for the fax in the house, and the strangest thing is that the prisoner rummaged through the living room and bedroom, but in the end only stole the hanging scroll, and there are not many people who know the value of the painting, so it can be seen that the prisoner's purpose in the first place was to ...... the painting."
Gao Cheng's eyes turned to the Daughter's Day doll next to him: "Since you know this painting so well, you should also know that the painting scroll is hanging here." β
Conan nodded, "Yes, there's no reason for a thief targeting a scroll to mess up the other rooms, unless ......"
"Unless it's deliberately pretending to be an ordinary theft scene," Gao Cheng laughs, "because the prisoner didn't have a clear alibi, so that he wouldn't be suspected after the incident...... In other words, the prisoner is a person who knows the value of the scroll and is easily suspected of theft. β
The bald fat man suddenly appeared at the door and said in astonishment, "Did something happen?" What a mess here......"
"It's this uncle," Mitsuhiko and Motota grabbed the fat man, "he's the most suspicious!" β
"Huh?" The fat man was stunned, "What are you talking about?" I just watched Mie and never went back to come and see ......"
"Do you have an alibi, uncle?"
"I was going to come to my house with Mr. Mie until the evening, wait, where's the Thor hanging scroll?"
The fat man broke out in a cold sweat and looked at everyone inquiringly.
"I'm afraid it was stolen," Mie also looked at the fat man with some suspicion, "Mr. Tsukoji has indeed been with me all the time, but when I couldn't find my phone to call, he went out for something......"
"Hey, I'm just going out to buy cigarettes," the fat man said with a sweat on his face, "Why do you suspect me when the painting is gone?" Maybe the Kanno family hid it themselves, after all, you can get 20 million insurance money this way, and you don't have to sell paintings, right? β
Ayumi pursed her lips and stood in front of the doll stand, noticing that it was evening, and looked anxiously at Conan who was thinking next to her: "Conan...... Do you know who the prisoner is? If you don't hurry up......"
"I'm still thinking about it......"
Conan secretly wiped a cold sweat, and suddenly looked at Gao Cheng, who was surprisingly calm.
Wait for the alarm...... Is there anything wrong with calling the police?
"Joto," Conan's eyelids jumped, "what the hell do you know?" β
This guy said at the beginning that he was going to stay, shouldn't it be for this?
