Gray Yuan didn't do it to show the old woman in front of her, she just felt that the other party wanted to see this scene.

As she thought, it was.

The old woman's eyes were full of relief and blessings.

It's as if the two elementary school students holding hands in front of her are not the two elementary school students who met in Pingshui, but herself and the person she loved seventy years ago.

Kaedehara came back to his senses.

Although something deeper than holding hands has been done before, it is the first time that they have held hands like this in public and under the gaze of others, and Kaedehara is also a little embarrassed.

However, he obviously won't try to let go, but will hold it a little tighter. He looked at Gray Yuan before he looked at the old woman, noticing that tears were glistening to the corners of her eyes.

The pair of eyes and tears all reflected themselves and the figure of Gray Yuan's mourning.

"Xiao Kong, Xiao Ai!" Just then, the doctor's voice suddenly came from behind him, "It's time to go!" ”

The two of them subconsciously let go of their hands at the same time.

Although it is nothing to be seen by the doctor, if the doctor shouts like this, it is possible that the real elementary school students will also look back.

It's not good to take bad children.

"Here we go!" Kaedehara turned his head and replied.

Then they said goodbye to the old woman and left, and then chased after the doctor.

Before he took two steps, Gray Yuan, who had a little blush on his face, whispered to Kaedehara: "Didn't you say that you are very good at expression management, pay attention." ”

"Huh?"

Kaede Yuan subconsciously pinched his face, and then exhaled a long breath to control his expression. Just as he was about to say something to protect his image, he noticed movement from the front.

"Ah, Conan!"

"Are you coming to see the sunflowers?"

"We've all finished reading it!"

Conan had told the elementary school students that he was going out with Ran, but now he followed Uncle Maori and others here to check on the situation of the fifth sunflower, and then he remembered it.

The elementary school students were accusing Conan of acting alone, and Kaedehara looked up and noticed a large group of people walking towards him.

He didn't know the one leading the way at the front, but he had seen most of the people behind him. Uncle Maori, Officer Nakamori, Jiroyoshi Suzuki, and the six samurai seen on TV were among them.

They clearly have something to do and don't mean to stop for a bunch of kids.

Conan finally got rid of the elementary school students and went to Kaedehara to ask if he had found anything.

Of course, there is none.

"So, Kidd is writing again?" Kaedehara said curiously.

"yes, the teaser says his next target is the fifth sunflower here." Conan Chaozheng looked curiously at the elementary school students of Uncle Maori and the others, "In short, Kaedehara you also know, this time is different from the previous Kidd incident..."

"It could be dangerous." Kaedehara took over the conversation, "Got it, Gray Plains and I brought them back." ”

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

The plane almost crashed before, whether Kidd did it or not, it means that this Kidd incident is unusual, so Kaedehara and Conan don't want Ayumi and the others to get involved.

Uncle Maori didn't talk openly here, and Conan didn't confess just now, so after a little effort, Kaedehara managed to take the elementary school students out.

In fact, he was a little curious about what Kidd was going to do here, but he was sure that Kidd wouldn't be targeting Sunflowers, so he left the matter to Conan for the time being.

After putting the souvenirs back in the car, the Doctor led them to Suzuki Tower.

On the other hand, after seeing that the fifth sunflower was still in the exhibition hall, Conan followed Uncle Maori and the others to the reception room and listened to them discuss Kidd's affairs.

……

"Based on this notice letter alone, why do you judge that his target is the museum? Can you elaborate? ”

Mr. Harada, the curator, held a tablet and looked at the photo of the teaser taken on it, and asked the crowd.

"The lullaby is probably the painting of the woman pushing the cradle," another museum staff member behind him was also a little puzzled, "not the sunflower." ”

"No, the point is that the original copy of the left side that was written after that," Officer Nakamori replied.

"The original copy painting was supposed to refer to a triptych of paintings." Uncle Maori took over the conversation.

"Triptych?"

"That's right, it's a group of three paintings, or hanging scrolls."

"We know that," said the curator, "and we want to know why the lullaby is pointing to the sunflowers." ”

"It's because..."Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment and looked at the Nakamori Police Department next to him, "What is the reason?" ”

"It's really enough, can you be careful?" The Nakamori Police Department looked back with some dissatisfaction, "You are also one of the samurai!" ”

"Why don't you ask Mr. Yukiji Higashi, who opened this teaser letter, to explain?" Officer Charlie suggested.

"Oh, that's fine." Jiroyoshi Suzuki agreed, looking at Mr. Koji Higashi, "Higashi, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, yes. Let's start with the triptych that Detective Maori just mentioned, and try to keep the lullaby in the middle. ”

"At this point, the paintings placed on the left and right sides should be..."

"It's a sunflower."

"Hmm. In Van Gogh's letter to his brother Theo, an illustration was attached, and there should be no mistake in this part. Arrange each picture according to the illustrations, and on either side of the lullaby are sunflowers.

On the right are the third and seventh panels. On the left are the fourth, fifth, and sixth paintings, of which on the left is the first copy of the sunflower, which is the fifth sunflower painting exhibited at this museum. ”

"I see, in this way, the sunflowers in this museum have indeed been photographed by him."

"So what do we do now?" The staff asked, "Kidd's preview time is tonight." ”

"The sunflowers must be moved to safety immediately."

Officer Nakamori's proposal was accepted.

The curator decided to close the museum early after explaining the situation to visitors.

In charge of transporting the paintings, Mr. Shi Ling, who was part of Cheetah Transport, began to instruct his staff to load the paintings into wooden boxes and prepare them for delivery to the vault.

"yes, okay, take your time. Yes, just go straight ahead. ”

The porter walked slowly down the aisle carrying the sunflowers, and in the middle of the crowd were wooden boxes for the sunflowers.

Then Miss Natsumi Miyadai took the initiative, and she, Keiko and others helped lift the lid of the box to the side and hand it over to the porter.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Officer Charlie reminded Officer Nakamori, "It's almost time for us to check the vault now, right?" ”

"Well, that's right," Officer Nakamori nodded, looking at Mr. Curator, "Curator, can you delay a little time?" ”

Kidd's teaser was at night, so they speculated that Kidd's attack would have been at the vault.

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

At this moment, Miss Natsumi Miyadai slipped her hand and accidentally dropped her phone on the side of the wooden box.

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead." Mr. Shi Ling bent down to help pick up the phone.

This movement caught Conan's attention, and he stopped thinking, looked over there, and then froze, "Wait a minute! There's something stuck in the lid! ”

Because of his height, he can see where an adult can't.

"Hey, little ghost, time is running out! Don't come here to make trouble! Uncle Maori picked up Conan with a look of displeasure.

"But, I seem to see Kidd there!"

"Huh?"

"Lift the lid up." Mr. Shi Ling hurriedly commanded.

The person in charge of the handling lifted the lid a little.

Miss Natsumi Miyadai was quick to see her, so she immediately ran over and removed the sticky thing from the lid, and then showed it to everyone, "It's a card." Isn't this supposed to be..."

Officer Nakamori stepped forward and took the card, "There's no doubt about Kidka—I've received the sunflowers, blame Kidd the thief." ”

After reading it, Officer Nakamori looked up at the painting in front of him in surprise, "What? Received? The sunflower is still here! ”

"Is that the only one? Is that all it says? Conan asked.

"Yes."

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that this sunflower has already been..."

"Huh? You want to say it's a fake? Uncle Maori looked at Officer Charlie, who had made the guess.

The others also thought that this conjecture was very likely, so they hurriedly sent the sunflower to the monitoring room, and Miss Natsumi appraised the painting.

After a while, she got up and exhaled.

"How?" The curator asked worriedly.

"If it's a fake, it's really cleverly done. It is really difficult to make a precise identification here. ”

"That's right..."

"Can you give me this painting for the time being? Our company's studio has the ability to carry out accurate appraisals right away. ”

"Just do it," agreed the curator after a moment's hesitation, "and if it is likely that the painting has been replaced with a fake, the higher-ups will probably agree to do so." ”

"There's no need for that, Curator." The guard, who had wanted to help, suddenly spoke up and pressed the shoulder of the staff member in front of him.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

The guard pushed the person in front of him away, took out a card, and held it between his fingers.

That's Kidka.

"Kidd the Strange Thief..."

Everyone on the field was stunned.

I see, the identification itself is a trap for Kidd...

Conan thought to himself as he saw Kidd slip the Kidd card into the jacket pocket of Mr. Curator.

"That sunflower is indeed genuine, and I will assure you." With that, Kidd pushed the curator away, reached out and ripped off the disguise, and resumed his classic attire.

Kidd is coming.

Then Kidd was gone.

In the smoke bomb, he took the painting with him. The only clue he left behind was the Kidka card, which read:

[I am willing to transfer the sunflower I received just now at a preferential price of 10 billion yuan, and I will see you in Room 1412 of the Dongdu Plaza Hotel in two hours. Remember to replace them all with old bills, take them out of the suitcase and fold them on the bed. If you can't afford it, you don't have this deal. Kidd the Thief. 】

After Officer Nakamori finished reading, he raised his head in shock, "Two hours to get ten billion!?" ”

"So all Kidd wanted from the beginning was money?"

"With the strength of the museum," said the curator, "it is really impossible to transfer 10 billion yuan in two hours." ”

"Even if you search all over Japan, there's only one person..."Officer Nakamori looked at Jiroyoshi Suzuki on the side, "Can you do it?" ”

All eyes were on Jiroyoshi Suzuki.

"Hmph, okay then, I'll prepare the bills."

"Is this true?"

"But there is one condition," said Jiroyoshi Suzuki, "that if you successfully redeem the sunflowers, you will have to lend us the painting to exhibit." ”

"Of course! If the painting can really be recovered, I believe that the senior management will not have an opinion. ”

"So, can you please convince the owners of the other five paintings?" Jiroyoshi Suzuki added conditions.

Consensus reached.

Jiroyoshi Suzuki quickly arranged for 10 billion yen in cash to be delivered to the designated location, and Officer Nakamori also set up surveillance in the hotel room, but Kidd had no intention of taking the money away.

He just changed the air pressure in the room to make a small part of the cash fly out of the window, and after revealing his side, he directly used the glider to leave the scene, leaving the painting in the room.

……

"That's the way it is."

At the doctor's house, Conan briefly recounted to Kaedehara what had happened that night.

"It's really worthy of being a Kid Buster...", Kaedehara did not hesitate to praise.

"Hey, you know what's going on," Conan replied angrily, "I always feel like things are going a little too well, and Kidd seems to be just trying to toss..."

Then he pondered for a moment, "He didn't seem to have any interest in the cash, and he just gave up on painting..."

"Anyway, it turned out to be good," said Kaedehara, "and after making such a play, the museum owed the Suzuki family a favor and agreed to lend the painting again..."

"Huh? So you think he's just here to see an art exhibition? ”

If it's for his childhood sweetheart, it's not impossible...

Kaedehara complained in his heart, "Anyway, that's what the doctor thinks, and he was very happy when he learned that the art exhibition was resumed..."

"Huh." Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "By the way, what about the Doctor and Grayplain?" ”

"Gray Plains is in the basement, and the doctor went to take a shower... Well, it should be done by now. ”

"This time to take a shower?"

"Yes, there is an announcement from the Suzuki Foundation on the Internet that there will be a lottery to go to the Sunflower Show after a show - this is it."

A live interview program is playing on TV.

It's still the same pair of male and female hosts last time.

Because of the two attempts to keep the sunflowers from Kidd, and to the detriment of the curator of the Koya Museum of Art in Japan, other museums or individuals who held the sunflowers agreed to lend the paintings again.

As a result, the Sunflower Show was resumed.

The guests in the program are Jiroyoshi Suzuki and Sonoko, and while the animation is played, Sonoko introduces the details of the Recrok Museum of Art and the preservation measures:

"If the sunflower is abnormal, various sensors will be activated, and the painting will be immediately put into a fireproof and waterproof protective case, so there is no need to worry about damage to the work due to fire or flooding.

In the unlikely event that a sunflower is stolen from the building, the security system will be activated immediately and all entrances and exits will be closed. Even if the strange thief Kidd mixed in, there would be absolutely no way to escape from the museum. ”

"And the safety measures couldn't be more thorough," Suzuki continued, "and the elevator to the roof, the minimal lighting, and the security system will never fail." ”

“… It's really detailed," Kaede Hara couldn't help but complain as he listened to the introduction of the power supply principle of the art museum in the garden on TV, "Isn't it all exposed?" ”

This is almost equivalent to an open-book exam.

"yes, yes, but there should be something else that hasn't been said..."

"In that person's nature, I'm afraid there is none... Here it is, Doctor! ”

The host had already begun to ask about visiting the exhibition, and Kaedehara called out to Dr. Kaedehara in the direction of the bathroom.

The Doctor, who had already finished bathing, soon put on his yukata and trotted out all the way.

According to the advance notice on the Internet and the program, the exhibition will only entertain 100 people a day, and the exhibition will only last for one month. Tickets are in the form of a raffle.

The doctor rubbed his hands together and sat down at the table with an expectant expression, the laptop in front of him was already ready, and Kaedehara had helped open the official website of the Suzuki Foundation before.

"As long as you connect to our company's official website, you can sign up now."

As the words of the garden on the TV fell, the countdown on the computer screen in front of the doctor also ended, and then the interface jumped.

"The whole world is starting to sign up at the same time, and the chance of winning is probably one in an astronomical number!" Yuan Zi waved his hand at the camera, "Everyone, don't miss this opportunity!" ”
