I, the stepfather of the ninja world!

Suzuki Ye nodded in agreement and hugged Suzuki Ayako tightly. No matter where you are, family is the most important. As long as it does not affect the people close to you, you can consider it.

……

[Age: 7032 day]

[Life remaining: 364 days]

Five days had passed since the Film Research Club's gathering. Suzuki Ye returned to the Suzuki family's manor, where he exercised and enjoyed life, and his hair turned gray again.

It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining brightly, casting rays of golden light on the backyard swimming pool, illuminating the colorful ribbons on the bottom of the water.

On the shore, a cool breeze blows and a rich fragrance slowly floats.

On the lounge chair under the parasol, Suzuki was hugging people on both sides, with people following him from all sides - Wakasa Rumi and Yonehara Sakurako, nestled in his arms; Kimie was clinging to his back, and Chikako was lying in front of him.

Four beauties surrounded him, their flexible bodies swaying gracefully, their snow-white skins complementing each other, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

Suzuki Ayako was leaning quietly on another recliner, with today's morning paper covering her pretty face, her slender jade legs naturally crossed, and her whole body was like the finest porcelain, fair and delicate with soft curves.

"Ano, didn't you say before that Lawyer Hime is good for your health? When do you plan to pursue her?" Suzuki Ayako asked through the newspaper, her voice a little muffled.

Suzukino lifted up the newspaper and said with a smile, "Lawyer Fei is so busy and her schedule is full. It's hard to disturb her when she's working. It's not easy to find her free time. I'm waiting for the right opportunity to communicate."

Before he finished speaking, a cheerful song rang out: [Happy birthday to you～～～]

Sakurako Yonehara handed the vibrating cell phone on the coffee table to Suzukino.

Suzuki Ayako smiled faintly: "Ano, this phone ringtone is the birthday song that Sonoko recorded for you when you were in the first year of high school."

"Yes, this song sounds cheerful and can put you in a good mood."

Suzukino said as he answered the phone, chatted for a while, and hung up with a smile on his face.

"The opportunity has come. Xiaolan just said that tomorrow she, Lawyer Fei and Yuanzi will go to visit the art museum together."

"So you've got in touch with Xiaolan." Suzuki Ayako pursed her lips and smiled.

"Well, a few days ago at the villa, I told her that I had just returned to China and was not familiar with the country yet, so I asked her to invite me to join her if she had any daily entertainment activities."

“A good entry point.”

Suzuki Ayako nodded in approval, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Sister suddenly thought of a good arrangement that can promote a better relationship between you and Lawyer Fei."

"What arrangement?"

"Keep it secret for now, you will know it tomorrow."

"it is good."

"By the way, Attorney Fei has been in the industry for many years, has a serious personality, and pursues perfection. You have been having fun at home these days, and your style is casual. You'd better restrain yourself in front of her and don't be too frivolous."

"Well, I'll pay attention."

……

The next day, in front of the gate of the Rice Art Museum.

"Oh, I think I didn't eat enough breakfast. I'm suddenly so hungry!"

Yuanzi held her stomach and sighed.

"I heard that a very popular sushi restaurant just opened on the street ahead. Xiaolan, come with me to have something to eat."

"Ah?" Xiaolan hesitated. "Didn't we agree to explore the medieval knight armor that moves autonomously in this art museum today?"

"Eat your fill first so you can have the energy to think!" Sonoko said with a smile, "Let your mother and my brother take care of the exploration for now!"

"Huh? Okay then..."

Xiaolan reluctantly agreed and turned to Kisaki Eri and Suzukino and said, "Sonoko and I are going to the sushi restaurant first. We'll come find you later."

"Be careful when crossing the road, and don't play around." Kisaki Eri gently warned, "There have been several serious traffic accidents in Beika Town recently, and my firm was entrusted to handle the claims."

Xiaolan nodded: "I know, Mom."

"I know, Auntie."

Sonoko smiled politely at Kisaki Eri, then winked at Suzukino and left with Xiaolan.

In a blink of an eye, only Suzukino and Kisaki Eri were left in front of the art museum, along with Wakasa Rumi who kept a few steps away.

The group visit of five people turned into a group visit of two people.

Is this the "good arrangement" that my sister mentioned yesterday? It is indeed a good one! Suzukino secretly praised and watched Xiaolan and Sonoko go away.

Then he smiled, turned his head and looked at the beauty beside him.

Today, Lawyer Fei was still wearing her usual light blue professional attire, dignified and decent. The hem of her skirt hung near her ankles. She wore a pair of eight-centimeter-high silver-gray peep-toe high heels, with one or two toes exposed at the peep-toe. She was wrapped in thin and smooth pure black stockings, and the bright red nail polish on her toenails was faintly visible.

Without the presence of Xiaolan and Sonoko, Kisaki Eri instantly lost her previous kindness and amiability, and became more polite and distant towards the opposite sex. She vaguely put on the posture of an undefeated queen in court and erected an unattainable invisible barrier.

Suzukino was stunned, and suddenly he was a little unsure whether it was good or bad to be alone together. If Sonoko and Xiaolan were present, they could definitely chat and promote their feelings through communication, but now, when they were alone together, they first needed to find a suitable topic to break the silence.

……

The art gallery was very empty and slightly chilly, with excellent paintings hanging on the walls.

Visitors were scattered around the circular high-ceilinged hall, and there were many familiar faces among them, all of whom were members of the Suzuki family's security forces, dressed in plain clothes.

Suzukino and Eri Kisaki stopped in front of the painting titled "Leisure Angel" and quietly admired it. This painting is not very famous, but it is a work of Picasso after all, with a very high standard, warm and touching brushstrokes, bright and rich colors, and perfectly depicts the holy transparency of the angel.

"I never thought that such an ordinary art gallery would have such excellent paintings." Suzukino exclaimed softly.

Hibiki Eri said calmly, "This art gallery has a history of fifty years and has always had a good reputation locally. However, the previous owner's company unfortunately went bankrupt and sold the gallery to the current owner. It will be converted into a hotel in a while, what a pity."

Suzuki Ye was slightly stunned, and felt that it sounded vaguely familiar.

At the same time, Wakasa Rumi's voice sounded softly beside him.

"Master, I just received a report from the security personnel upstairs that someone was killed in the Hell Exhibition Hall."

……

……

Note:

The case involved in this chapter: The Art Museum Murder Case, Episode 8 of the domestic version of the animation "Detective Conan".

Extra Volume: Conan's World in Tsukuyomi: 015 Solving the Case

A murder occurred in the art museum, and tourists were in a panic.

The originally peaceful and harmonious atmosphere disappeared, and was filled with restlessness and chaos.

Kisaki Eri shook her head slightly, frowned and said regretfully: "It seems that I can't continue to appreciate the beauty of art today."

"It's okay, Aunt Eri."

Suzukino smiled and instructed Wakasa Rumi to give instructions, requiring all the security forces of the Suzuki family present to temporarily maintain order in the museum and wait for the police to arrive.

At the command, the highly paid security forces all displayed their excellent professionalism. The restless art museum quickly returned to its peaceful state.

Kisaki Eri's eyes flickered slightly, she glanced at Suzukino beside her, and continued to concentrate on appreciating the oil painting in front of her.

About fifteen minutes later, a loud siren sounded outside the door. The Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division arrived at the art museum at lightning speed. Leading the way was a sleek police officer in an orange suit, followed by several other police officers with clear division of labor, all in a hurry.

Suzukino looked at their busy figures and felt very friendly. This was the first time he saw the Investigation Division in person since returning to Japan.

After a while, Wakasa Rumi reported softly: "Master, the police checked the surveillance and found that someone was wearing medieval knight armor and committed the crime."

"Oh?"

Suzukino uttered a sigh and turned to look at Eri Kisaki: "Aunt Eri, do you want to go and take a look at the details? This case is related to medieval armor. It is likely that it is the armor anecdote that Sonoko and Xiaolan want to explore."

Kisaki Eri adjusted her glasses and sighed softly, "These little girls just like to think of things as weird and bizarre. Those armors were obviously worn by someone secretly."

"Yes." Suzukino nodded, "However, if we don't clarify the situation, when they ask about it later, a simple 'murder' will definitely not satisfy their curiosity."

"Ah."

Kisaki Eri nodded in agreement, turned her gaze away from the exquisite oil painting, and followed Suzukino into the monitoring room on the second floor.

When Inspector Megure saw Suzukino, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "I heard that it was a young man with an outstanding appearance who sent people to maintain order. It should be you! Thank you very much for protecting the crime scene!"

Outstanding appearance...

The employees describe me so succinctly!

Suzukino raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You're welcome, Officer Megure. Would you mind telling us the details of the case? Before the incident, Aunt Eri and I were in the art gallery. Maybe we can provide some references to help the police solve the case."

"Well, that makes sense."

Inspector Megure nodded in agreement and briefly described the current situation of the case.

The current owner of the art museum, Mr. Manaka, had his throat pierced with a long sword by the murderer and was nailed to the wall of the Hell Exhibition Hall.

The crime happened at around ten o'clock. The murderer had placed a no-entry sign outside the door of the Hell Exhibition Hall in advance, and then he wore armor and brutally killed Boss Manaka who had come to keep the appointment.

Obviously, the murderer knew the storage location of the notice board and the armor, as well as the situation inside the museum. Therefore, it can be inferred that the murderer is most likely a staff member of the museum.

After checking one by one, only three people had no alibis: the director Mr. Ochiai, and employees Kubota and Iijima.

Currently, the case is under further investigation.

"Didn't you find any concrete evidence in the surveillance?" Suzukino asked.

Inspector Megure shook his head regretfully.

Hibiki Eri suggested: "Can we replay the surveillance video and let us take a look? Maybe we can find something."

"Okay."

Inspector Megure nodded in agreement and rewound the tape.

Suzukino, Kisaki Eri, and Wakasa Rumi stood in front of the monitoring station and watched attentively.

The surveillance camera footage quickly progressed to the moment when the murderer accidentally fell after the first stab. Boss Manaka hurriedly tore off the label on the painting on the wall, picked up the pen on the table, wrote quickly, and then held the label tightly in his hand.

"Pause!"

Suzukino and Kisaki Eri said in unison, then looked at each other in slight surprise. Suzukino grinned, and Kisaki Eri's glasses flashed.

When Inspector Megure heard the two people's reminder, he went to the monitor, took a closer look, was startled, and quickly ordered the police officers to check the deceased's hands.

Half an hour had passed since the incident, and the label was still hidden in the palm of the deceased's hand, with eye-catching large characters written on it - Kubota.

Inspector Megure walked towards the suspect a few meters away with a smile and said, "You deliberately put on armor to hide yourself, but you didn't expect that Boss Manaka would guess your true identity before he died!"

"No, it's not me! I have no reason to kill Boss Manaka!" Kubota was stunned. He never expected that his name would appear on the label, and he hurriedly defended himself.

Iijima snorted coldly, "Kubota, there's no point in trying to cover up! You have a strong motive for murder! A few days ago, you were caught selling artworks from the museum and your boss Manaka demanded a huge amount of compensation!"

"I, I..." Kubota didn't expect that the past would be brought up suddenly, and he stammered.

At the same time, Hibiki Eri shook her head slightly, pursed her lips, and whispered, "Something is wrong. If the murderer is a staff member of the museum, then he must know that there are surveillance cameras in this exhibition hall. Even if he is wearing armor, there is no guarantee that there will be no evidence. Why would he commit the crime here? It's too risky and does not conform to common sense."

Suzukino thought for a moment and analyzed, "There are probably three possibilities. One is that the murderer is very confident in his disguise and doesn't care whether there is surveillance. The second is that the murderer deliberately took advantage of Aunt Eri's way of thinking to make people mistakenly believe that it was done by tourists. The third is that he deliberately used surveillance to let the police discover the death message left by Mr. Manaka and shift the suspicion to Kubota!"

Kisaki Eri's eyes flickered slightly. "If it is the third possibility, how did the murderer manage to mislead the deceased into thinking that he was Kubota? Did he invite the deceased to the exhibition hall under the name of Kubota, or imitate some of Kubota's characteristics?"

Wakasa Rumi listened silently, went to the crime scene and came back with an evidence bag temporarily borrowed from the police. The bag contained the label left by the deceased.

"Master, Attorney Fei, I have discovered something. In addition to Kubota, there are many circles of light white marks drawn on this label, which look like the marks made by a ballpoint pen when it runs out of ink."

Kisaki Eri shuddered and immediately took the evidence bag and examined it carefully.

Without even looking at her, Suzuki Ye praised her directly: "As expected of an aunt who studied in the United States, your observation skills are extraordinary!"

Wakasa Rumi pursed her lips and smiled: "Since I reconciled with you, my right eye no longer suffers from "transient blackouts", so I can observe in detail."

Suzukino smiled and waved his hand: "You are too modest. Whether you are cured or not, your observation ability is extraordinary."

At the same time, after observing the label, Hibiki pushed her glasses on her nose, and the lenses reflected a snow-white light.

"Ono, now it seems that, as you said, there is a third possibility. The murderer prepared a label with 'Kubota' written on it and a ballpoint pen that had run out of ink. He deliberately induced Boss Manaka to complete this act of framing him under the surveillance camera!"

After analyzing the murderer's intentions and methods, it is not difficult to further find the murderer.

At the reminder of Suzukino and Eri Kisaki, the police searched the three suspects and found a ballpoint pen that could not write in the pocket of the curator, Mr. Ochiai.

unambiguous evidence!
