Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 667 A conflict with the client

"I can't help it," Oikawa swallowed, "He came when I wanted to go out, saying that he didn't trust the police and the Kido detectives, and wanted to protect the painting by himself... Dad is a very stubborn person. I think the only way to convince him is to find a police officer, lock the door and leave for safety, and then suddenly the power cut off after walking away..."

"Is Mr. Shenyuan really here to protect the painting?" Gao Cheng turned to the mobile team guarding the door, "May I ask what happened at that time?"

"Ah, this," the mobile team member at the door pointed blankly at the second doorway, "Mr. Shenyuan was standing silently in the corridor, and then he went in from there..."

"Mr. Shenyuan?" The two guards at the second door said, "Mr. Oikawa came out after checking and opened the door, and he came over and said loudly, 'I didn't say that I have my own ideas', and then Mister and Mr. Kanbara stayed in the studio for a minute or two..."

"Of course we also tried to prevent Mr. Kanbara from going in, but Mr. Oikawa said it would be fine in a while, and we didn't expect Mr. Kanbara to stay in the studio alone..."

"About this," Oikawa Takerai hurriedly explained, "Actually, my father came to me and said that he wanted to protect the painting..."

"I'll wait until Mr. Shenyuan wakes up to confirm this point," Gao Cheng said with sharp eyes, "There is another question, you went out to the second door, but you were knocking on the first door just now..."

"I told you, I was going to find the police officer and the others, but I came back because of a sudden power outage, and I happened to be going down the stairs over there..."

"Police," a police officer reported, "found the key, seems to have been kicked into the corner of the corridor..."

"Okay, my big detective Kido," Nakamori Ginzo was still thinking about Kidd, "I told the guards to hold on to the doorknob if the power goes out, so Kidd can only escape through the window , the most important thing now is to hurry up and get the painting back, if you really want to investigate, won’t everything be clear when the old man wakes up?”

"That's right, I'm a world-renowned artist anyway, how could I do something like murder my father-in-law?"

Oikawa Takerai looked at Gao Cheng gloomyly, and snorted coldly: "Detective Kido, don't forget, I invited you here to deal with the Kaitou Kidd and help me protect "Qing Lan". It's gone... If "Qing Lan" can't be found, I must tell the outside reporters about it!"

Gao Cheng remained silent and did not respond.

In any case, Kamihara Haruhito and Oikawa Takerai are both master-student and son-in-law, and I really don't know who I will speak for when I wake up.

If his guess is correct, he will probably hide the truth for Oikawa...

When he, a famous detective in Tokyo, faces two world-renowned artists, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to explain clearly.

It's really troublesome to get involved in this kind of case between relatives. The original purpose is to save people, but in the end it will cause a mess...

But having said that, I don't know what the impact will be if I trouble my client like this in the future. In the past, there were bad negative rumors because the client was always killed.

Outside the villa, as the news of Kaitou Kidd's success spread, the reporters became more and more excited. Oikawa Takeri followed Police Officer Nakamori to deal with the restless reporters in front of the entrance, and soon there were only a few police officers left in the studio.

Gao Cheng looked at Haruhito Kanbara who was being helped to the chair, and frowned even deeper.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ai asked, "Is it difficult?"

"One thing, but I will definitely solve the riddle to find the truth..."

Gao Cheng walked to the easel. Behind the easel was a row of cabinets, all locked, and he didn't know what was locked inside.

Recalling the situation at the time of the power outage, Gao Cheng looked at the window again.

It was a bit of a coincidence that there was a strange noise when the door was broken in.

The first door, easel, and window are in a straight line, like a Chinese character for "工".

I character?

Gao Cheng regained his senses and looked at the layout of the studio again.

The camera was facing the easel, and it happened that it could only capture the surrounding area of ​​the easel, but not the door and windows. The place where Haruhito Kanhara passed out was also a blind spot under the camera.

At that time, the second door that Kamihara Haruhito entered the room was also a blind spot...

And the 10 minutes when the monitoring was suspended...

All of this is indeed Oikawa's layout, and the 10 minutes must have been used to arrange the technique. The question is what technique was used.

Gao Cheng looked at the two guards guarding the first door: "When Mr. Oi Chuan came here to check, did you find anything strange?"

"strange things?"

The two guards looked at each other.

"It doesn't seem to be there, but Mr. Oikawa asked us to secretly confirm whether the monitoring is really turned off..."

"Yes, I said it quietly after opening the door a crack..."

"You two went to confirm?" Gao Cheng frowned.

"No, I went alone," the guard added. "After I confirmed it, I knocked on the door twice as a signal... because we agreed that if we knocked once, it means the surveillance is off..."

"Code? Didn't he open the door again?"

"Probably because he didn't want us to see the unfinished painting. When he begged us, he also specifically told us not to look into the house, and just listen to him..."

The two guards said helplessly: "However, even if we want to see, the door is only opened a little bit, and Mr. Oikawa's body blocks the inside, and we can only see the side of the easel from this angle..."

"I see, thank you."

Gao Cheng finished his questioning with a smile on his face.

As expected, Oikawa should have used this door for some kind of mechanism at the time, so the window would change when he broke in, and the key must have been lost on purpose...

Outside the entrance of the villa, there were more reporters than when Gao Cheng first came, and they were even crazier. All eyes were on Kawatake Rai.

"I have a question for Mr. Oikawa. This time the painting was stolen by Kidd, will you paint a new one? It is the last painting in the series, "Green Lane"..."

"This..." Oikawa Takerai suddenly choked up, "Of course I won't draw anymore, never again..."

The reporter was in an uproar: "But "Qing Lan" has already been bought? I heard that even the money was paid..."

"So I can only return the money to that guest and ask him to give up..."

Oikawa squeezed out tears.

"No matter how hard I try to paint, I can only imitate the original painting that was stolen tonight. Once that original painting appears somewhere in the future, I will have to admit that it is the original painting..."

"I heard Kidd's nemesis, the famous detective Kido Kosei was invited by you, can he recover "Qing Lan"?" The reporter asked.

"I don't know about that. Today's Detective Kido seems to be a different person. He may have been hit a little... However, I still try my best to trust him," Oi Chuan burst into tears, "Hope City The household detective can recover my "Qing Lan"..."
