Detective Conan: Orange-flavored summer
Chapter 101 Sunflowers Saved
Suzuki Jirokichi heard this and said happily: "Very good."
Then, Officer Nakamori instructed the controller, "Also supply power to the screen over here. Megure will be sending a message now."
"Yes!" The controller responded and continued to operate the computer.
"Recovered!" Yuanzi looked at the lights around her in surprise and said happily.
"Goto, what exactly happened just now?" Suzuki Jirokichi asked the controller in confusion.
Goto heard this, his fingers rapidly tapping the keyboard, and then replied: "It seems that there is a problem with the power control. The lighting, main elevator and monitors are all stopped. Immediately dispatch people to the second and fifth sunflowers to strengthen the security."
"Kid is still in the museum, right?"
"No, this may not be Kidd's doing."
"What, what does this mean?"
"After investigating the Seven Samurai again, a suspicious person emerged. The twin brother of this person died six months ago in Arles, France, where Van Gogh created the seven sunflowers."
"Based on the gunshot wound on his chest and the smoke reaction detected in his right hand, the local police treated it as a suicide case," Officer Nakamori explained in a deep voice.
Uncle Maori heard this and asked solemnly, "So who is this deceased person..."
"His name is Tou Xingyi."
"His last name is Dong, right?!"
"Yes, he is the older brother of Higashi Koji, who is in charge of restoring the paintings."
After Officer Nakamori finished speaking, a figure appeared on the big screen in the main control room. He explained, "Xin Yi did not commit suicide. I killed him."
"Look! Sunflower's surveillance screen!" Xiaolan pointed at the large surveillance screen of Sunflower in shock and said.
"Higashi Yukiji, why?! Why did you kill your brother!" Officer Nakamori looked at the big screen and asked loudly in confusion.
"After Xin Yi found the Ashiya sunflower he had been looking for for many years, he changed his original intention."
Suzuki Jiroji heard this, frowned, and said in confusion: "What nonsense are you talking about? The sunflower painting was burned in the war a long time ago."
Higashi Koji heard this and shook his head, retorting, "No, that is not true. On the day of the air raid on Ashiya, the city was burned by the infernal fire. The scene was like hell on earth. My grandfather, a carpenter, was employed by the entrepreneur who collected Ashiya sunflowers."
"Because he rushed into the burning house alone to save the sunflower that was firmly fixed to the wall to prevent theft."
"We heard this story from our father again and again, and even after he passed away, we continued to search for the Ashiya Sunflower, according to the servant who took over the painting from our grandfather."
"The servant said that in order to prevent the painting from being confiscated by the GHQ, he deliberately restored the painting to look like a fake and then sent it to Europe to avoid disaster."
After listening to Higashi Koji's narration, Suzuki Jiroji took two steps forward and said in disbelief, "Could it be that the sunflower I marked is Ashiya, Ashiya Sunflower?"
"It turned out it wasn't burned down." Yuanzi said with the same surprise.
Higashi Kouji nodded, and then continued to explain: "Yes, we brothers finally found the Ashiya Sunflower that had been quietly placed on the rooftop of an ancient house in Yar!"
"But when we finally found the sunflowers we had been looking for for years, my brother changed his mind. He thought the sunflowers should stay in Arles, where Van Gogh loved his life, and even said that if not, he would destroy the painting on the spot."
"I can never forgive my brother for saying such a disobedient thing. We started arguing and the situation got more and more heated. The pistol I used for self-defense went off, and I accidentally hit my brother..."
"Later, I learned about the long-awaited sunflower exhibition in Japan and participated in it as a researcher. Thanks to this, I was fortunate enough to witness the return of the Ashiya sunflowers to Japan. I realized the wish of three generations of my family."
"I have also decided that I will turn myself in after the exhibition is over, although it is a little early."
After listening to Higashi Koji's story, Officer Nakamori showed no expression on his face. He said in a deep voice, "I understand. Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department is on his way here. Are you willing to surrender?"
"Of course, but I'm not what you would call a suspicious person."
Officer Nakamori finally showed a surprised expression on his face. He frowned and said, "What?! Do you still want to quibble?"
Suddenly, Dong Xingji on the surveillance screen looked to the side in disbelief. His face changed drastically, and then he said: "The sunflowers are burning!"
"Don't change the subject!"
"It's really burning!" Dong Xingji said loudly.
"Oh no, there's a fire!" Keiko Anderson suddenly appeared in the camera of Sunflower Monitor No. 3 and said with a shocked look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Officer Nakamori also quickly looked at Goto and ordered, "How could this happen!?"
"What's the status of Sunflower's thermal sensors?!"
"Currently showing abnormal values."
……
"Finally got rid of that guy."
"Hey, look!" Shangguan Qianxia pointed forward, her face red in the light of the fire.
"Oh my god..." Kaito Kidd was also looking at the raging fire in front of him in confusion.
Shangguan Qianxia reacted and said quickly: "Quick, Sunflower."
Shangguan Chinatsu and Kaito Kid came to the location of the second sunflower, and then Kaito Kid used an iron rod to pry open the slot of the second sunflower, allowing this sunflower to smoothly enter the fireproof and waterproof space.
"Is it that easy? Come on, get up to the fifth floor!"
Shangguan Qianxia and Kaito Kidd quickly ran to the exhibition hall on the fifth floor, only to see that the nearby fire surrounded the place.
"Hurry up, we don't have much time, and I don't want to die!"
"Stop talking nonsense and come and help!"
Looking at Kaito Kidd inserting an iron rod into the groove of the sunflower, Shangguan Qianxia walked over and said with a frown: "Get out of the way!"
Kidd also gave up his position upon hearing the sound. Shangguan Qianxia gathered her strength and made a roundhouse kick, then kicked the iron rod hard. With a click, the slot was pried open, and Sunflower successfully returned to the fireproof and waterproof passage.
"Shangguan! Kidd, how about the other painting?" Conan ran over panting.
Shangguan Qianxia frowned and looked at him, then said, "We have already finished that painting, what are you doing here? Leave quickly, or we are all done for!"
"Shinichi!" Xiaolan also ran over from behind and shouted loudly.
Shangguan Chinatsu grabbed Conan and threw him over, then was about to run over when the decoration on the ceiling fell to the ground and almost hit her.
Shangguan Qianxia's eyes reflected the raging fire, and then she shouted loudly: "Xiaolan, take Conan out quickly, it's going to collapse..."
