Conan: Naruto

"name......"

Dr. A Li looked forward, recalled a little, and hesitated and said:

"It's very similar to the name of something...it's neither a bathtub nor a bathhouse...

That’s right, that’s it! ! "

Dr. A Li patted the steering wheel and said with a happy smile:

"At the entrance to the bathhouse, where the clerk sits!"

"Forehead......"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment, grabbed Dongfang Haoyue's hands with both hands, and confirmed rigorously:

"You mean... Fantai?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Dr. A Li responded excitedly:

"It's バンダイ!"

"It turns out to be Bandai..."

Dongfang Haoyue leaned back with a comfortable body, closed her eyes, and said with leisurely confusion in her heart:

"The pronunciation of Bantai and Bandai in Japanese is bandai. The doctor actually thought of this..."

--------

after a while.

The larger, quaint villas are covered in moss.

The five elementary school students, Dr. Agasa and Miyano Akemi stepped onto the cement floor not far from the front right side of the villa from the Beetle, closed the door and gathered in a group.

The corners of their mouths raised arcs of mixed emotions, and they slowly walked along the upward stone slope towards the closed copper double doors of the villa.

“Wow, what a big villa!!”

Ayumi Yoshida retracted her gaze from the villa, turned to look at Dr. Agasa in front of her on the left, and confirmed curiously:

"Dr. Ali, is this really your uncle's villa?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

Dr. A Li stopped in front of the door. He took out a copper key from his coat pocket and put it into the keyhole of the door. He looked back at the five primary school students gathered behind him.

The doctor said amiably:

"My uncle's name is Agasurisuke, he is a well-known rich man in the surrounding area.

50 years ago, he hid his huge wealth somewhere and left this world forever. "

Dr. Ali unlocked the door, took back the key, turned to look at everyone, and said with a hearty smile:

"Of course, I also searched the villa, but I couldn't find any treasures symbolizing wealth.

Therefore, I specially asked the Young Detective Team to come here to use your wisdom. "

"Oh!"

Moto Kojima looked at the group of four elementary school students with interest, seeking approval excitedly and said:

"So the doctor didn't lie to us!"

"Yes!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya stood in front of Genta Kojima, looking at the group of four elementary school students with a smile on his face, and happily approved:

"It's definitely not the doctor who came here to bury the treasure in advance!"

"I'll just say it!"

Ayumi Yoshida stood in front of Moto Kojima's left, with her hands clenched in front of her chest, happily looking at the group of four elementary school students, and said with a sweet smile:

"Doctor will not lie to us children and play childish games~!"

"Hahaha......"

Dr. A Li was exposed, and he smiled awkwardly but politely.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood between Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko and Yoshida Ayumi, with their hands in their pockets, pretending to be cheerful and looking back and forth at the trio of elementary school students, and ruthlessly complained in their hearts:

"The doctor was immediately seen through, really!"

Miyano Akemi leaned forward slightly, standing quietly and peacefully on the right side of Dr. Agasa, with her hands folded in front of her, looking at the group of five elementary school students with a smile, and said with sincere hope in her heart:

"It would be nice if... you were here too."

--------

After a short time.

Spacious living room.

Dongfang Haoyue stood outside the wooden door with exquisite carvings. He stood on tiptoes, turned the door handle with his right hand, pushed the door open, glanced around, and curiously discovered...

A large, simple and luxurious chandelier hangs from the warm-colored ceiling in the center of the living room.

In addition, three copper doors are silently embedded in the three walls of the living room.

"Go ahead!"

Yoshida Ayumi shouted loudly, and non-stop crossed Dongfang Haoyue and rummaged around the living room.

Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya followed happily.

Kudo Shinichi stopped inside the door, glanced around leisurely, and locked his eyes on the classical light brown clock far to the left, hanging above the wall.

Dongfang Haoyue was about to take a step forward to find clues about Dr. A Li's buried toys. He suddenly paused, turned his head to the right, followed Shinichi's line of sight and looked at the clock, and was surprised to find...

The second, minute and hour hands of the clock all point to the number six inside the clock.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi thought for a while, smiled in sudden realization, and walked to the center of the room in unison. Out of the corner of their eyes, they unexpectedly discovered...

Not far to the front left, on the wall above and to the left of the silver fireplace, there is a picture frame covered with delicate gold filigree patterns, with a lifelike painting embedded in it.

In the painting, a plump young man wearing an open dark green suit, white lining, black tie, smooth hair style, sits on a sofa-like chair.

Another gentle woman wearing a pink kimono with light brown fluffy curly hair reaching her shoulders stood behind the seat, her hands on the top of the seat back, and a crescent smile.

Behind her, a silver fireplace with red flames rising on top carried a white ceramic cup and...an iron candlestick holding three candles.

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Dr. Agasa who was following behind him, and acknowledged with a smile:

"Although the size of the villa proves something, the doctor's uncle is richer than I thought."

"Ok?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned and looked at Kudo Shinichi with slight surprise.

Miyano Akemi stood on the left side of the doctor, looked at Shinichi calmly, and asked curiously:

"Why do you say that?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Miyano Akemi and Dr. Agasa, about to explain.

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left side of Shinichi, pointed at the painting, looked at Mingmei and the doctor with a smile, and analyzed seriously:

"The painting over there!

Obviously, the man in the painting looks almost the same as the doctor and has a similar build. I think... that man must be the doctor's uncle, Arisuke Agasa.

Also, the fireplace in the background is very similar to the one in this living room.

Therefore, Kurisuke, who commissioned an artist to come to the living room to draw portraits in that era, must have been extremely rich! "

"I remember......"

Dr. A Li looked at the painting with mixed emotions and recalled:

“One year before my uncle died of illness, he commissioned a young artist to paint a portrait.

Because my uncle was frail and sick since he was a child, he stayed here to rest at the age of 38 until his death.

As for the lady behind my uncle in the painting...that is my uncle's sister, who is also my aunt, who works as a teacher in a nearby elementary school. She usually lives here to take care of my uncle.

Although...his uncle doesn't like to interact with people, he is willing to accept Aunt Dingzi's kindness. "

Dr. Ali paused for two seconds and said with deep emotion:

"When my uncle died of illness, my aunt sadly left this place and returned to her hometown. Since then, no one has set foot in this villa for 50 years."
