In the morning, Lavender Villa was shrouded in purple and white light curtain.

Directly at the end of the road at the door, the iron fence door is open.

"Squeak..." The black extended version of the luxury car quickly ran over the wooden-paved bridge and stopped in front of the iron fence gate.

The car stopped, Saki and Kenjiyong immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car, and Miyuki Nanase followed closely behind.

Kaneda turned around and looked at Kazumi Sakura, who was huddled in the corner of the back seat, trembling with a purple sweater jacket, "Sakura, stay here!"

The latter did not respond and trembled all over.

Five people, including the driver Goro Omiyayama, followed the straight stone road to the Lavender Villa at the end.

Switch the door handle and Saki pushed open the door.

The scene inside the house was like a wave of thieves, in a mess. Not only were the cabinets, seats, easels, etc. scattered everywhere, but the paintings on the wall were also stripped off and discarded on the ground or hung there obliquely.

"KaKa", white plastic shoes stepped on the broken picture frame.

"This... this is... the phone I just now..." Kimeto looked at the dark phone lying in the broken brush and spoke for a while.

"Painting! The painting that the master was fishing..." Komiyayama Goro pointed to a blank space on the wall, where there was a small card of the signature of the strange thief gentleman.

"Fishing?" Saki, who was holding the ink umbrella, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Is it by the river under the bridge?"

"Go and go and have a look!"

Several people passed by the luxury car and leaned against the car. When they saw the five people running over, they asked in a trembling voice: "How is it? Dad..."

"That... might be by the river..." Kaneda Ichi and Saki didn't know what to answer for a moment.

"Wow..." The turbulent river was clear and clear. Pu Shenggangsan's body was wearing an outdoor orange waterproof suit, twisting his body and lying on two stones by the river.

The stones were dyed red by blood, like blooming blood flowers.

A black plastic fishing rod fell on the body, and the front end extended above the river surface.

A light yellow round-edged fishing hat was randomly discarded next to the legs of the corpse.

In addition, a card fell on the rock surface next to the stone.

Everyone who looked down at this scene was stunned.

The Adam's apple rolled, Saki swallowed silently, and the ball of smashed meat under the cliff deeply impacted his visual senses.

The slow wind blew the black tie on his chest, Jian Chiyong said in an indescribable mood: "It's done the same as the one in the painting again..."

He Izumi Sakura, wearing a purple-red sweater jacket, walked over slowly, her voice weak, "Dad..."

Then she blew her eyes and knelt on the grass.

"Sakura!" Kim Taichi, wearing a red and white striped shirt, quickly went to support her.

...

Fountain in the front yard of the main house.

"Really, uncle?" Kanechichi, who had changed his clothes, asked unwillingly.

"Well, although the police officers have investigated as you said, there were no one who disappeared from our museum at that time!" Jian Chi waved his hand and looked helpless.

"In other words, does everyone have absent proof?" Saki sighed lightly, not very willing.

Light green walls, corridor with dark wood floors.

"If everyone was in our library at that time, who was the one who killed Pu Sheng painter?" Kindaichi, who held the floor plan and road map of our library and Lavender Villa, lowered his head and said to himself.

He glanced at Tusaki in his hand and asked, "Is there no shortcut from our museum to Lavender Villa?"

"No, I can only arrive through the wooden bridge from that driving route, which takes about ten minutes! Ah... I really couldn't imagine it!" Kanedaichi scratched his hair with his right hand.

"I'll tell you something bad about it. Uncle Jianchi said that the card left in Lavender Villa is different from the card left by the murderer when he killed Umezuri Mi. The vertical line of the signature "Monster" is hooked up, which is the same as the card left by the real monster thief gentleman who left in Lavender Villa the day before yesterday."

"What did you say?" Kanedaichi was a little irritated, "That was even more a headache. Is it just a typo? Could it be that... there is really only one weird gentleman? But according to previous news, he has never been so cruel even... to kill others."

"And you have seen the situation in Lavender Villa just now. Logically speaking, how could a thief who is dedicated to stealing paintings and keen on art destroy the paintings left in the house so recklessly?" Saki held his forehead and sighed, "It's really a headache. Did the fake thief gentleman discover the difference in signatures, so?"

"It is possible, but the biggest mystery is proof of everyone's absence. Anyway, the murderer or the gentleman of the monster thief must be among us!"

"Well, I'll ask Uncle Jianchi first, the results of the test of the kitchen evidence last night and the autopsy of Painter Pu Sheng!"

"Oh... I'd better go and see Sakura first. I don't know if she is better."

At this time, when Kitanda saw Miyuki Nanase who had just come down the stairs and was wearing a pink dress, he ran over and asked, "How is her current situation in Sakura?"

"It seems like I've calmed down a little, but things have turned out to be like this..." Mixue's sadder as she spoke.

"I hope she can be stronger!" Saki sighed, and was about to turn around to find Jian Chiyong, but found a "rustling" sound in the room next to him.

The door was hidden, and he pushed it quietly, and the gap suddenly became larger.

"Hey! Mr. Kuda..."

"Bang" The angry Kitani pushed the door open and shouted loudly: "Ah, Mr. Kuda, it's you again!"

As he said that, he ran over directly, and Haruhiko Kuda looked panicked. He didn't bother to move the paintings on the wall and touched the trolley of the trolley box. Unexpectedly, the trolley box was not closed properly. After a touch, it was "peng" open, and many wooden frames stuffed inside were scattered on the ground.

Jintian didn't notice it for a while and stepped on one of the paintings with a lavender field as the background. The wooden frame was immediately stepped on a small hole covered with cracks.

"Ah, Ah... Ah Yi, under your feet... that is the representative work of Pu Sheng painter, who is said to be worth less than 100 million yuan!"

"Ah!!!1...100 million?" The high school student with braids was shocked and forgot to withdraw his feet.

"What happened?" Deacon Goro Komiyama, who was attracted by the noise, spoke at the door.

"It's really noisy!" Kira Kanjiro, holding the bottle, appeared behind Komiyayama.

"1...100 million..." Kanedaichi pointed at the painting under his feet, with a child's expression on his face.

Kira, who was slightly drunk, squatted down and looked carefully, saying, "Don't worry, this thing is a copy!"

"Replica?" Saki said in surprise, "How did you see this?"

"Well," Kira was still the old suit that was washed with whiteness, "although it was very similar to it!"

"But why is there such a thing here?"

"It's because after selling the painting, I took the replicas to decorate?" Saki guessed.

Goro Komiyayama thought for a moment and said, "But it's really strange, 'lavender' shouldn't be sold yet! Why did Mr. Kuda give this copy to..."

"It seems that he has changed his way to steal paintings with Mr. Kuda," Saki, wearing frameless glasses, mercilessly exposes it. "I am planning to replace the real paintings with high-quality fake paintings! But where did you get the high-quality imitation paintings? Could it be..."

In a light blue casual suit, Haruhiko Haruda was constantly shaking, and sweat on her cheeks were dripping down.

"Uh..." Kitanichi suddenly stood there, and then said to the purple-coated deacon, "Mr. Komiyayama, please show me all the albums of the paintings in this museum!"

Several people came to the square table near the window, and Komiyama took out the album and handed it to Kitanichi.

The latter is reading "Swishy".

"Senior, what did you think of?"

"There are only three replicas in the collection of paintings in our library, namely the 'Down Memories' number 50, the 'Green Manor' number 30, and the 'Noon' number 20." Komiyama pointed out to Kaneda respectively.

"Well, so that's it!"

Saki saw Kanedachi's eyes wandering at the "Memories of Dusk" and the "Portrait of My Beloved Daughter" above it, "Huh... the numbers of the two paintings are exactly the same!"

"Oh...this is because the size of the two is exactly the same, just one is a banner painting and the other is a vertical painting!" Komiyama explained.

"...Kinda Ichijun thought..." Saki instantly understood what Kinda Ichi was thinking.

"Shh..."

...

"No, I didn't do it alone this time, it was instructed by Mr. Hazawa!"

"I don't know if this is happening!" Hazawa Hoshiji, who was lined with a light yellow suit and a purple shirt, retorted expressionlessly.

"What did you say?" The shorter Haruhiko Kuda glared at each other.

"But, didn't the replicas that Hwada took were placed in your box?" Jian Chiyong asked sternly.

"I said it was stolen by him. I just wanted to compare the replica with the authentic one."

"It's really clean!" Saki, who was watching the wall, held the ink umbrella and looked at Hazawa Hoshiji with admiration.

"Yaze, you bastard..." He Kuda raised his head slightly, his open palm trembling slightly.

"Stop moving! It is said that the police department of Okawano has many questions to ask you!" Jian Chiyong grabbed his clothes and carried him out.

"No...I have nothing to ask..."

Hazawa Hoshiji secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile: "Ah... I almost got a thief!"

Then he turned around and left.

"No, I'm not a thief gentleman, no, no!" He Kuda's horrified voice was still echoing in the corridor.

"Your suspicion is cleared by Saki Jun and I! And Mr. Kuda." Kanechichi, who was in his pocket, said seriously.

"I'm not very happy! But maybe he is not a thief gentleman." Saki, who was standing opposite him, shrugged.

"Uh?" Kenjiyong and Kuda turned around at the same time, showing a look of surprise on their faces.

"As long as you can help me with what we bother you!"

"Make a little use of what's in that suitcase." Saki agreed.

"Ah... as long as the suspicion can be cleared, no matter what... I am willing to cooperate!" Haruhiko Kasuda, who grabbed the life-saving straw, nodded quickly.

"Please help me, uncle!"

"Oh? Do you need me to do anything?" Jian Chiyong pointed at himself.

"Tell me to you later."

"Everything is going tonight, that guy will definitely show up tonight!" Kanechi said affirmation.

...

After chatting with Kuta, letting him leave, the four of them came to the square table just now to discuss.

"After that, Kaneda Ichikun is so sure, it is really a thief who is really a thief who steals the 'portrait of my beloved daughter'? If it is fake, I may not necessarily take the painting away as we plan, right? After all, the purpose of others should be to kill Mi Umetsuri and Kazuko Kazumi."

"That's right, but he who is back to the painting should never continue to steal the painting. So, I think the one who returns to the painting and participates in the murder case should be the fake weird thief gentleman, and now the person who steals the 'Portrait of my beloved daughter' is the real weird thief gentleman."

"Then isn't there any contradiction?" Jianchi's police officer rubbed his temples, feeling that his brain capacity was a little too insufficient. "According to... the cards posted in the blank space of this painting and the cards discarded in Sakura's room, the signatures of the two are exactly the same. Doesn't it mean that the stolen "Portrait of my beloved daughter" and the same person who attacked Sakura?"

"Maybe the attack on Miss Sakura, that is, the person who killed Ms. Meijin and the painter Pu Sheng found that the card left behind after the painting was stolen, and found that the vertical line of the "strange" signed character "女" was hooked, which was different from what I had sent to Pu Sheng's house, so I rewritten the same content myself, but the card with different signatures was replaced and posted."

Saki's speech was neither fast nor slow, and he glanced at the boy opposite from the corner of his eyes, "Senior Kaneda, what do you mean?"

"Oh, I know I can't hide it from Saki Jun!"

"But... although it's a bit bad for me to say this... Why did the murderer just cut off Sakura's hair, and not treat Ms. Umetsu and Mr. Pusuo like he did..." Miyuki Nanase asked with her elbows on her thighs and knees.

"I just mentioned that because it was an accident, the fake monster thief gentleman accidentally discovered that the painting was stolen, so he had to use the trick and chose to attack Senior Sister Sakura to unify the motives of the murder case later! And because she was not the real target, she did not kill her."
