"Is this your sister? She's so cute."
"Yes, her name is Xiao Ai, come and call her Auntie."
"Hello Auntie."
Xiao Ai shouted coldly.
"Hello, little Ai." Suzuki Tomoko smiled generously at Ai, then turned her gaze to Shiraishi, "Shiraishi, I found a card. It might have been left by Kaito Kidd."
"Oh? Show me."
Shiraizumi Mashi took Suzuki Tomoko's card. There was a unique mark of Kaito Kid on the front of the card. From the surface, it was indeed a card left by Kaito Kid.
The front is a simple portrait of Kidd, and the back is two rows of numbers.
They are -
14 people = (11 people + 1 person) + 2 people
15人=(11人+1人)+2人+1人
Baiquanyi believes that the 14 people refer to the twelve disciples of Jesus, Gauguin and Theo, and the extra person among the 15 people refers to Van Gogh himself.
But why are the twelve disciples not written as 12 people but 11 people + 1 person?
Perhaps it refers to Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus?
"Auntie Suzuki, can I ask who came up with the sunflower bed?" Shiraizumi Masu looked at Suzuki Tomoko and asked, "And the surveillance cameras? Why are there so many cameras in the flower bed?"
"It was Miss Miyadai Natsumi's suggestion."
"Who is Miyadai Natsumi?"
"She is one of the seven samurai chosen by Suzuki Jikichiro." Suzuki Tomoko didn't understand why Shiraizumi Masu suddenly asked this, but she answered truthfully, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Was it Miss Miyadai Natsumi who suggested using turpentine as decoration in the sunflower bed?" Shiraizumi Masu continued to ask her.
"Yes," Suzuki Tomoko said, "I mentioned this when we were discussing this exhibition, and no one had any objections. You weren't there at the time, so you didn't know about it."
Sunflower bed, surveillance camera, turpentine, once is a coincidence, three times is inevitable.
At this time, Conan ran over with his short legs and also wanted to see the cards.
Conan took the card and analyzed it carefully.
Seeing this, Xiaolan and Sonoko also came in this direction.
Yuanzi complained, "Mom, Bai Jun is here, and you didn't even tell me."
Tomoko smiled bitterly and said, "I'm looking for Bai-kun because of something."
Xiaolan asked, "Bai-kun, what are you showing Conan?"
Shiraizumi said, "Oh, it's Kaito Kidd's card."
Xiaolan said to Baiquanyi in a low voice with some fear: "Bai Jun, I feel that Conan has become more and more strange recently. He often says things that adults would say and does things that adults would do. Is Conan... possessed by a ghost?"
Bai Quanyi chuckled and said, "Xiaolan, you just realized it now?"
Xiaolan said, "Huh? Bai Jun... have you discovered it a long time ago?"
Bai Quanyi said, "Wherever this kid goes, something always happens. And he's the most proactive in handling these incidents, even more so than a criminal police officer like me. Isn't that enough to prove the point?"
Xiaolan felt the same way when she heard this: "Ah... To be honest, I haven't been used to it since Conan moved in. But Conan's parents gave my dad a lot of child support that he couldn't refuse..."
Bai Quanyi said: "That's easy. You can just live with your mother."
Xiaolan said bitterly, "If I live with my mom, my dad will be left alone with no one to take care of him. Moreover, without me watching over him, he will definitely start having affairs, and the day when my parents can reconcile will be even more distant."
Bai Quanyi said: "As far as I know, Xiaolan, your parents have been separated for more than ten years, right?"
Xiaolan said: "Yes."
Bai Quanyi continued, "Would a loving couple be separated for over ten years? Have you ever thought about the real reason why your parents are still married?"
Xiaolan was shocked: "Could it be... for me."
Bai Quanyi said: "My words may sound harsh, but as children, we sometimes have to consider our parents."
Xiaolan had already vaguely realized that her parents had lost their love for each other a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have been separated for more than ten years (Li Nuo's). They didn't divorce, entirely for her. She wishfully thought that her parents were separating because they weren't honest enough, but in fact, that was not the reason at all. The real reason was simple: for their children, the simple love that parents have for their children.
Bai Quanyi said these words to Xiaolan not intentionally to separate Xiaolan's parents. Instead, he wanted to tell Xiaolan that there is really no need to force unsuitable people to be together. Forcing them to be together will only bring pain. There is a kind of love called breaking up.
A loving couple, who could have lived together, deliberately separated for over a decade. There is only one reason to explain this: the couple had lost their love for each other.
Xiaolan fell silent. She began to reflect on whether forcing her parents to reconcile was the right thing to do.
79. I don’t want to see my aunt in pain
Conan studied the card and said, "I understand. This card is trying to tell us that among the twelve people guarding Sunflower, there is a traitor named Judas."
"Conan, you mean that there is a traitor among us who wants to steal the words. But who is the traitor?" Suzuki Sonoko said puzzledly.
"Just order the cancellation of today's exhibition," said Tomoko Suzuki.
At this time, Suzuki Jikichiro, Nakamori, and Charlie came over.
"Today's exhibition is originally an internal exhibition. Whether it's suspended or not makes no difference." Suzuki Jikichiro said as he looked at Suzuki Tomoko, "Sister-in-law, I'm holding this exhibition entirely for you."
"Shut up, Suzuki Jikichiro, stop it. Don't think I'm afraid of you!" Suzuki Tomoko said angrily.
"Uncle, why are you like this? When I get back, I'll tell my dad that you harassed my mom." Suzuki Sonoko said angrily.
"I was just joking." Suzuki Jikichiro said with a wry smile.
"Brother Baiquanyi, you have been thinking a lot. Have you discovered something?" Conan suddenly asked Baiquanyi in front of everyone 590.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Quanyi.
Bai Quanyi pondered for a moment and said, "I was thinking, if we set fire to the sunflower bed, the fire would spread out of control immediately, right?"
"Are you kidding me?" Officer Nakamori refuted my statement on the spot: "Arson? Kidd just wanted to steal the painting, not burn it. What good would that do to him?"
"Indeed, there's no need for Kidd to do that," Officer Charlie from the Seven Samurai also said. "Unless he wants to take advantage of the panic caused by the fire to steal the painting, but the security measures at the Ray Kroc Museum are very strict. Even if there was a fire, Kidd might not be able to steal the painting."
"I'm just making a reasonable guess based on the facts. I'm not saying that Kaito Kidd would do this," Bai Quanyi twitched his lips, not wanting to explain. "The fire might have happened, but the arsonist might not have been Kaito Kidd."
At this time, Conan also thought of it.
The sunflower beds surrounding the field, the hundreds of surveillance cameras within them, and the turpentine used to decorate the flower beds. The surrounding field and the turpentine on top could easily spread a fire, and the surveillance cameras represented countless circuits. This was a significant safety hazard.
"I think what Brother Shiraizumi Masu meant was that because the sunflower bed is decorated with turpentine, if someone wanted to set fire to the sunflower bed, the fire would spread quickly and be difficult to stop, right?" Conan explained for Shiraizumi Masu.
Conan's behavior only heightened Ran's suspicions. Ran had every reason to believe Conan wasn't just any ordinary kid. As for his true identity, Ran didn't know, and didn't want to know. She simply wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. When something that shouldn't happen happens, it becomes incredibly terrifying, and Ran is afraid of Conan.
Suzuki Jirokichi pondered the idea for a moment and decided it made sense. He decisively ordered his staff to remove the turpentine used as decoration from the sunflower beds after the visitors had left. He also ordered them to clear several paths between the sunflower beds on each floor, so that the sunflower beds in the Reckrock Museum would no longer be connected. Instead, the sunflower beds would be divided from one large, encircling bed into several smaller ones separated by pathways.
After hearing the orders issued one by one by Suzuki Jirokichi, Judas, who was lurking among the Twelve Samurai, gritted his teeth and decided that Judas must act now.
Judas was anxious, and he chose to take action when he could get out of the sight of others.
Judas came to a blind spot in the surveillance, then walked to the place where the circuits were gathered and poured phosphine, which would burn at room temperature, on it.
At the same time, the art gallery fell into darkness.
Suzuki Jiro immediately asked people to start the backup power supply, and gave priority to the locations where the seven "Sunflowers" paintings were located.
At the same time, let people go and see whether the "Sunflowers" are intact, and focus on the second and fifth "Sunflowers" I mentioned earlier.
At this time, Judas had just taken advantage of the darkness to grope his way to the second "Sunflowers" and was twisting the lid of the phosphine in his hand. As a result, the voice of the security guard came from the circular staircase on the side.
Judah had no choice but to leave, and poured the phosphine into the sunflower bed that had not been transformed and was still designed according to her plan.
Sure enough, the phosphine spontaneously combusted, and the flames quickly got out of control after coming into contact with turpentine.
The people watching the surveillance video also noticed the fire, but before anyone could react, the fire spread rapidly.
"Wait! Painting!" Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly remembered that the loosening devices of the second and fifth "Sunflowers" were different from those of other "Sunflowers".
Sure enough, when the subordinates opened the emergency release to allow "Sunflowers" to enter the fireproof and waterproof gate, the other paintings were released smoothly, except for the second and fifth "Sunflowers", which had problems.
The others all showed success on the surveillance cameras, but those two showed no reaction at all.
Suzuki Tomoko's eyes widened: "Suzuki Jikichiro, what on earth is going on?"
Suzuki Jikichiro: "Oh no! Two paintings are at risk."
Suzuki Tomoko said, "Look at what you've done. If the borrowed painting is lost, it's not a big deal if you lose the money, but if it affects the reputation of the Suzuki Group, that would be a big problem."
Suzuki Jikichiro held his head, at a loss.
Baiquanyi stepped forward, shook Suzuki Tomoko's hand, and said, "Auntie's hands are so smooth and soft..."
"Huh?" Suzuki Tomoko looked at Shiraizumi Masu like a frightened deer.
Bai Quanyi quickly changed his words and said, "No, don't worry, Auntie. I'll go get the painting for you."
Suzuki Tomoko said worriedly, "Bai Jun, no need. It's too dangerous."
Bai Quanyi said gently: "It's okay. I don't want to see Auntie feel uncomfortable."
Suzuki Tomoko blushed, her heartbeat quickened, and she didn't know how to answer Shiraizumi Masu. When she came to her senses, Shiraizumi Masu had already started to act.
Bai Quanyi turned around, told others to leave first, and immediately rushed into the fire to save the painting.
Seeing this, Conan hurriedly followed.
Baiquan Yi caught a glimpse of Conan following him, turned around and kicked Conan into Mouri Kogoro's arms.
"Uncle Maori, keep an eye on this brat and don't let him run around."
Kogoro Mouri glared at Conan and punched him in the head.
"Little devil, it's already late and you're still running around. Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Conan was helpless, as the limelight was about to be completely stolen by Baiquan Yi.
80. Aunt's Kiss
When Suzuki Jirokichi saw that Shiraizumi Masu was trying to show his courtesy to Suzuki Tomoko before him, he was not idle either. He made a decision immediately. He and Nakamori Ginzo took people to help loosen the second "Sunflowers", and asked Maori Kogoro and Officer Charlie to help loosen the fifth "Sunflowers".
At this moment, Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as Kudo Shinichi, also appeared. Together with Shiraizumi Masu, he successfully loosened and rescued the second and fifth "Sunflowers".
Shiraizumi Masu and Kuroba Kaito meet up with Suzuki Jikichiro, Charlie, Nakamori, and Mori Kogoro. However, the fire spreads more and more, and everyone is in trouble.
Bai Quanyi came to the water tower and punched a big hole in it. The water from the water tower gushed out and extinguished the fire.
Everyone escaped successfully, but they were all soaked.
Suzuki Jirokichi was furious and said, "Who is this Judas? I will tear him into pieces!"
Baiquanyi said: "I already know who Judas is!"
"what!"
Everyone looked at Bai Quanyi.
Shiraizumi Masu said, "Judas is Miyadai Natsumi!"
Shiraizumi Masu points to Natsumi Miyadai from Seven Samurai!
Miyadai Natsumi argued, "Officer Bai, what are you talking about? How could I be the murderer? I think the murderer is Kaito Kidd!"
Bai Quanyi said, "Really? You finally managed to light the fuse..."
Gongtai Xiamei said coldly: "Officer Bai, what do you mean."
Shiraizumi said, "What I want to say is... your goal is to burn Van Gogh's second and fifth Sunflowers."
Miyadai Natsumi glared at Shiraizumi and said, "Please stop talking nonsense. Why did I do this?"
Shiraizumi Masu said, "Let me explain the whole story. Because of the presence of Kudo Shinichi and I, you couldn't destroy the painting in America. So, you took advantage of returning to Tokyo to participate in the protection of the painting, secretly plotting and arranging all this."
Miyadai Natsumi said: "Your reasoning is too bizarre."
Bai Quanyi said, "Your profession is a painting appraiser. Since you are responsible for restoring paintings, you are the only one who has the opportunity to use turpentine on paintings."
Miyadai Natsumi still said stubbornly: "If it's just a deduction, I won't admit it. Where is the evidence?"
Bai Quanyi said, "Your computer should still have the action plan to destroy those two sunflowers!"
After hearing this, Miyadai Natsumi had no choice but to admit that she was the murderer who planned to destroy the painting.
As for her motive, she believed that the second and fifth "Sunflowers" were forgeries and were not worthy of being exhibited with the originals, so she decided to destroy the two paintings.
