Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 668 Famous Detective and Famous Painter

Behind the crowded reporters, a Nikai TV employee with the brim of his hat lowered had a panoramic view of Oikawa Takeyori's performance, and he couldn't help showing an expression of watching the show on his face.

"Now it's interesting..."

Kuroba Kaito turned around to hide his figure.

With Gao Cheng around, he didn't feel that he would be blamed at all, not to mention that this so-called well-known artist himself pushed Gao Cheng to the forefront.

A famous detective confronts a famous painter. Interesting things will always happen around Gao Cheng. If there is a chance, I really want to have a formal confrontation again.

He will definitely win next time...

"Okay, detective, you have to reveal the truth even in order to repay my favor."

Behind the villa, Gao Cheng found a path and walked to the grass under the window. He could see that the villa was not built on flat ground, half of it was exposed on the hillside, and it was all supported by wood. The surrounding vegetation was luxuriant, which was shocking.

The mobile team members have checked the space under the villa and found no traces.

"I only found two pen holders and a lot of pens," said a member of the team to Gao Cheng, "Ah, yes, I also found a fishing line, but there is a lake nearby where you can fish, probably for fishing. Guests drop here..."

The high-achieving team member took out the fishing line from his pocket.

There are many loops rolled in the hand, about 7 meters long, with a coil tied at one end, and a deformed fishing hook at the other end... It can almost be confirmed that it is a fishing line used to design mechanisms in the studio. When talking to the guard, it was put on the door lock, so the mechanism will only be activated when the door is knocked open.

It's just that a counterweight is needed to pull the fishing line...

Gao Cheng looked around the grass full of rocks again, especially the place where the pen holder fell, and found a stone with a hole in it with the help of the flashlight.

It's almost time to have these clues...

……

In the war room on the first floor, Ginzo Nakamori returned to the monitoring computer in a daze, and was shocked to find that the studio had changed back to the way it was before the painting was stolen, and Kawatake Rai next to him changed his expression completely.

"This is……"

"This is the situation before the power outage," Gao Cheng appeared on the surveillance screen, holding a walkie-talkie and said, "Actually, the painting was not stolen from the beginning, it just made it look like it was stolen..."

"What do you mean?" Ji Chuanwu Lai asked in panic, "Didn't you also see the painting when it was stolen?"

"Did anyone see the painting being stolen with their own eyes? Or did anyone see Kaitou Kid..."

"It's true, but..."

"Hey, kid Kido," Nakamori Ginzo wiped his eyes and checked the monitor carefully, "Did you find a painting of the same size and cover it with a canvas and put it there?"

"Officer Nakamori will see if you come to see it. I just made the same arrangement as Mr. Oi Chuan did before the power outage. It was a simple magic trick during the 10 minutes when Oi Chuan turned off the surveillance under the pretext of inspecting the painting..."

"Magic, magic?"

"Yes, let's take a look, the truth of this incident."

In the working studio, the four guards were still guarding the door, but the first door was closed again. Ginzo Nakamori hurried to the second floor in a daze, and entered the room through the second door that was open.

"Fishing line?!" Nakamori stared at the fishing line connecting the windows and the door. The canvas was just hanging on the fishing line, and it really looked like a painting.

"The monitoring was arranged by Mr. Oi Chuan himself. A camera of this precision cannot capture the fishing line, and the position and shooting angle are quite subtle. It's not that he doesn't know how to buy more monitoring, but that he can't..."

Gao Cheng entered the studio together with Kamihara Haruhito who was already awake.

"Only by leaving a dead corner can there be room for manipulation, right, old Mr. Kanbara?"

Kanbara Haruhito opened his squinted eyes slightly, and looked at Oikawa Takeyori who was dodging his eyes with a complicated expression, but he didn't speak.

Gao Cheng shook his head and continued: "The sound of the pen holder falling down when Officer Nakamori broke into the door is also because of this fishing line, which has a coil at one end, and Oikawa took the opportunity to talk to the guard and opened the doorknob. The fishing line is put on the deadbolt, then passed above the easel, and finally passed through the middle of the stacked pen holders on the window sill, and the pen holder is used to make up for the height difference between the window sill and the door, so that the fishing line remains horizontal...

"Outside the window, hooks are used to hook the pre-drilled stones to pull in the fishing line. As long as the door is opened, the fishing line will be pulled away by the stones. The pen holder hits the window to create the illusion that something is escaping from the window. The canvas It will also be pulled away, and it will look as if the painting has been stolen..."

Gao Cheng looked at the blue-faced Oikawa Takerai: "The fishing line and the stones for punching holes were found under the window, because there are often fishermen nearby, so the fishing line is easy to be ignored, and there are everywhere under the villa. Stones are simply the best place to hide evidence...

"So there was no such thing as Kidd in the first place, maybe even the painting "Blue Lantern" did not exist, and Mr. Oikawa never planned to announce "Blue Lantern"..."

"Doesn't exist?!" Nakamori Ginzo had a ghostly expression on his face, "You said the painting didn't exist?"

"Although I don't know the reason, all the signs seem to be so. Mr. Oikawa's purpose is to prevent the release of "Qing Lan", but he just casually joined the plan to kill his father-in-law..."

Gao Cheng looked at Kamihara Haruhito, who squinted his eyes and said nothing, "It's probably because Mr. Kanhara disagreed with Mr. Oikawa's plan, so I tried to talk to Mr. Oikawa over and over again...

"And the reason why Mr. Oikawa has been procrastinating is to let Mr. Shen Yuan take the initiative to find an opportunity to enter the studio to find him, because it is more convenient for the two of you to talk in the studio. After Mr. Shen Yuan enters the studio, he will be stunned with a stun gun, and then wait for the power outage. opportunity……"

Gao Cheng calmly described: "Mr. Oi Chuan used a timer to set the high-power electrical appliances in the villa to start at the same time to cause a power outage. If the police check carefully, it is very likely to find out, so this time the notice time is quite tight. There is no Too much time for the police and even me..."

"Hahaha," Oikawa Takerai laughed stiffly, "It's so ridiculous that he actually said that I wanted to kill my father-in-law... I didn't have a flashlight when the power went out, and I didn't even know where my father-in-law was lying in such a dark environment." Know……"

"That's why you took out your father-in-law's mobile phone, and even set it to silent, just to kill people with the light of the mobile phone screen when making a call in the dark..."

"enough!"

Ji Chuanwulai's face was distorted, and he stared at Gao Cheng viciously.

"Do you have to slander me? After all, I'm a respectable person. Why do I need to do these things..."

"It's for your own reputation," Gao Cheng said with steadfast eyes, "You can't finish "Qing Lan", so you can only use Kidd's name to make "Qing Lan" disappear. If this matter is exposed, your painting career will be ruined." That's why it's over, that's why I plan to kill Mr. Kanbara to silence..."

Oikawa Takerai staggered back a few steps, and turned to Kamihara Haruhito in a daze: "You've already told him everything, Dad? What can I do? It's all because of you! It's all because of you, Dad! Ask me to use the 'wind' that kills my wife as the theme of the painting..."

"Because of Mr. Kanbara?" Nakamori stared blankly at Haruhito Kanbara who had been bowing his head in silence.
