Chapter 324: The Fourth Painting That Didn't Exist 5
In the villa of Yoshikawa Takeyori's family, his father-in-law was unfortunately killed. Officer Twilight is currently investigating the killing.
At this point, in the aisle. Conan looked at Mr. Yoshikawa Takeyori with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mr. Yoshikawa looked at Conan's strange smile and asked puzzledly, "Is there something wrong with what I said?" ”
Conan smiled mysteriously and replied, "No problem." There's nothing wrong with the card being Kidd the Monster Thief. However, it is not known if this card has been artificially modified! ”
Mr. Yoshikawa laughed as he looked at Conan's neurotic appearance. So he left Conan's side and went downstairs.
At this time, Conan was still thinking about who put this card on his body!
Li Xiaohui walked out of the monitoring room and looked at Conan in thought. Suddenly slapped his body.
Conan turned his head angrily and asked Li Xiaohui, "What are you doing!" ”
Li Xiaohui smiled and said that you know who is the murderer of Mr. Kamihara.
Conan shook his head and replied, "Not for the time being." However, looking at Mr. Yoshikawa's practice of not having three hundred taels of silver here, I really feel that he is very problematic. ”
Li Xiaohui asked in an interested tone, "How can you say this?" ”
Conan scratched his head, saying that if Major Kidd really wanted to kill someone, he would never use a knife or anything like that. After all, a brand new poker gun, complemented by his own poker gun. You can easily kill someone, don't you? Secondly, judging by the description of the mobile team members downstairs. Kidd the Thief shouldn't have jumped out of the window to escape. Otherwise, he is very easy to spot by the mobile crew. So, I still feel that Mr. Yoshikawa is very suspicious.
Just as Conan was about to go downstairs. I saw Mr. Yoshikawa standing at the door of the villa, telling the reporters about the painting "Qinglan".
A female reporter wearing a pink OL uniform raised the microphone and asked, "Mr. Yoshikawa, did the strange thief Kidd really kill someone!" There's also something about paintings, so what should I do now? Also, what about the deposit for the fourth painting! ”
Officer Twilight says that there are a lot of suspicions that have yet to be clarified. However, we can infer with a high probability that it was Kidd the thief.
Mr. Yoshikawa told reporters that of course I returned the deposit to the buyer, but the paintings, of course...
"Do you still know how to draw?"
Looking at the reporter's puzzled expression. Mr. Yoshikawa smiled mysteriously at the corner of his mouth, and then replied to the reporter, "Of course, I will never draw it again." However, I would like to say a word about it. That is, please give me back the life of my father behind that painting! ”
Conan: They looked at Mr. Yoshikawa with a sad expression. Constant sneering. It means that it is really like it, and it is strange that Kidd the thief kills people, do you need to use a troublesome blade!
Immediately afterward, Conan ran to a nearby live TV car. Looking at a few nearby staff members in grass-green shirts, he asked, "Did you notice anything strange when Officer Twilight arrived!" ”
A dark-skinned man replied, "Oh. I remember there was a staff member. may have been helped away by a colleague because of work fatigue. What's wrong, what's wrong. ”
Conan hurriedly told the staff that there was nothing left. But in his heart, he thought, "yes, it's definitely Kidd who got in with them." In other words, Officer Takagi, Officer Chiba, Officer Twilight, and Officer Sato are all suspects! ”
Then, Conan said that you have seen any other suspicious phenomena, even strange goods.
At this time, standing next to the swarthy man, a staff member with square-rimmed glasses replied, "Oh, there's an anomaly. Why tell you though. ”
Conan said that when you squat down, I tell you why.
The latter crouched down in disbelief, wanting to see what the imp wanted to do.
Conan said to him, "I'll tell you a secret. Because Kidd the thief is likely to disguise himself as a police officer and blend in with the crowd. So, I'll give you my contact details. And then..."
The staff was still surprised. However, he still agreed to Conan's strange request.
Immediately afterward, Conan planned to ask the mobile team guarding the studio again. I want to see if there was anything unusual at the time of the crime.
At this time, Li Xiaohui walked over. Said to Conan, "I asked a long time ago. ”
Conan said, "Well, what do you know?"
Li Xiaohui looked at Conan's anxious appearance and replied, "That's because when Mr. Yoshikawa was about to leave the studio." Mr. Kamihara suddenly came out. Then, he asked Mr. Yoshikawa to talk to him about the painting. Then, Mr. Kamihara never came out again. According to Mr. Yoshikawa, Mr. Kamihara had to take care of the painting himself. Here's the problem. If that was the case, then we should have heard Mr. Kamihara's screams at the time. It didn't! ”
Conan then asked, "So, you asked the Mobile Crew about what happened after Mr. Yoshikawa came out of the studio!" ”
Li Xiaohui said, I didn't ask. You go and ask.
Conan shook his head speechlessly and walked directly to the mobile team member on the doorknob of the studio. asked, "I'm Kogoro Maori's assistant, Conan." I would like to ask when Mr. Yoshikawa came out of the studio. Is there anything out of the ordinary? It was when Mr. Kamihara entered with him. ”
The mobile team member standing at the door said that he was completely clean at the time.
Conan asked, "Then his clothes are worn backwards." Or..."
The mobile crew retorted, "You're not right. Because Officer Nakamori had checked his clothes, only the front of his clothes and shirt were found to be stained with Mr. Kamihara's blood. The point is that when we enter the studio. I saw Mr. Yoshikawa crying while holding Mr. Kamihara's body. So I don't think he had a reason to kill Mr. Kamihara. ”
Conan still said he couldn't agree.
At this time, another fatter mobile team member replied: "Didn't you also see the situation at that time?" It was pitch black inside, and then he couldn't have pulled a knife out of his pocket and stabbed him in the abdomen, and finally died. ”
Conan stopped his explanation, still unconvinced. At this time, Li Xiaohui suddenly walked over. He said to Conan, "I found that this studio has two doors. ”
After Conan listened to Li Xiaohui's prompt, he suddenly remembered something. I hurriedly walked to the door of the other door of the studio.
At this time, two mobile team members wearing black body armor standing at the other gate of the studio looked at Conan. Expressing doubts.
Conan asked directly, "Excuse me, is the door here and the door in front of me interconnected?" ”
The mobile team member standing at the door said, yes, but behind this door is a special storage of painting tools and paints. Also, between this and the studio, a large white cloth is used in the form of a curtain. to separate it from the studio. At that time, Mr. Kamihara was here, and Mr. Yoshikawa was arguing about something. Then, Mr. Yoshikawa walked out, seemingly helpless. Then, there was a power outage. And finally here's what we see.
Conan listened to the description of the mobile team. More and more certain, the murderer is Yoshikawa Takeyoshi. But he has no evidence, and there is no explanation for the method of the pen holder that fell out of the window. So that's a problem.
Just as Conan was thinking, the mobile team member who was questioned by Conan suddenly expressed his doubts.
Conan hurriedly said, what a problem.
The mobile team member replied thoughtfully, "It's Mr. Kamihara's sweater with strange blood stains on his chest." And then there's the base of his left thumb. Strange traces were also left behind. So I don't think it was like it was a fight with Kidd. ”
Conan suddenly thought of something and shouted in surprise, "Could it be that the oval trace..."
Just as Conan was about to come out, Xiaolan quietly approached behind Conan. Then he picked up Conan.
Conan, who was held in mid-air, struggled and shouted, "What are you doing!" Don't make a fuss! ”
Xiaolan, who was holding Conan's body, said that the case must have been done by Kidd. So let's go home!
Conan retorted, "Kidd hasn't been caught yet." ”
Xiaolan hugged Conan's body and walked to the monitoring room. It means that when things happen like this, we can't help anymore. Your task is to go home and sleep.
Li Xiaohui, who was standing next to him, looked at Conan's chattering. A smug grin. He then went into the studio to see if there were any useful clues. It is best to discover Mr. Yoshikawa's modus operandi.
Of course, this was done with the permission of the mobile crew. However, just when Li Xiaohui was observing the doorknob. Found a strange fishing line...
In the surveillance room, Officer Twilight reluctantly tells everyone, "This is definitely the work of the thief Kidd." As for the method of escape, it is natural to escape with a glider. We can't spot him by the night! ”
Officer Takagi retorted, "But even if he uses a glider, then he just needs to fly away from the villa." Then the mobile team members nearby can still find him. The problem is that the mobile team members who are guarding the perimeter have not found a figure similar to Kidd at all. After all, so conspicuous white suits. It's absolutely eye-catching. ”
Officer Twilight finds it very strange, too.
Officer Takagi agrees that Kidd is a magician, not a magician. So he had to set up props such as smoke bombs. And then...
Just as Officer Takagi was about to say something, Xiaolan instantly interrupted the conversation between them. Then he said that he would not involve Conan in the case again.
Officer Takagi smiled in agreement.
Conan looked at Maolilan's angry expression and shook his head helplessly. But in my heart, I was ten thousand unconvinced.
At this time, Mori Kogoro in the monitoring room. Speaking to Officer Takagi, "The problem is that we need to know about the magic prop that Kidd has disappeared. So..."
Officer Takagi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. To Officer Twilight, they say, "I might have a way to show the mystery of Kidd the Strange Thief's disappearance!" ”
Officer Twilight hurriedly agrees. Hurry up and ask Officer Takagi to show the secret about Kidd's disappearance.
Li Xiaohui, who was standing at the door at this time, looked at Officer Takagi's cute-looking appearance. laughed. Because according to normal logic, Officer Takagi's style is not like this. He could not have imagined such a powerful experiment. So, he's very suspicious!
So, what exactly does Officer Takagi want to experiment?
