Aomori Prefecture.
Geographically speaking, this is a very special city.
Although it belongs to the Tohoku region in Japan, Aomori is located on the same latitude as major cities around the world such as New York, Rome, and the capital.
When talking about Aomori Prefecture, we have to mention this city surrounded by the sea on three sides.
In addition to being the birthplace of Fuji apples, this is also the place with the best environment in Japan. Its land area ranks only eighth in Japan, but its forest coverage rate is nearly 70%.
It is conceivable how good the local environment is, it is even the longevity county of Japan.
It can be said that the feeling here is completely different from the bustling and noisy Tokyo.
As a writer who has won top national awards, it is not difficult to understand why he chose to live in such a peaceful and tranquil place with a natural atmosphere.
Especially after Tang Ze arrived at the Hanyu family residence, he understood even more why the other party wanted to live here.
Sea of flowers.
The Hanyu family's villa covers a large area, and some people even believe it is a European courtyard. The entire villa is surrounded by a sea of lavender flowers, which looks beautiful.
After knocking on the door, it soon opened and a middle-aged butler in a tuxedo came up to greet him. He looked at Tang Ze and said politely, "Hello, may I ask who you are..."
Tang Ze took out his criminal ID to show his identity. The other party bowed slightly and led him into the house.
After entering the villa, a middle-aged man with an intellectual temperament walked in first, followed by a charming short-haired female doctor in a white coat and a beautiful girl with long hair.
Seeing the man, the butler walked quickly to him and said a few words. After listening, the man walked quickly towards Tang Ze.
"You must be Karasawa, I've heard a lot about you! I'm Hanyu Saburo."
He came to Tang Ze and extended his hand enthusiastically, saying, "I've heard a lot about you from Detective Nakamori and Jijilang! I feel more at ease with you around!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Tang Ze also extended his hand and said politely.
After shaking hands with Tang Ze, Hanyu Saburo turned his head and introduced, "This is my daughter Hanyu Sakurako, and this is my family doctor, Kodo Yumeko."
"Hello, Detective Tangze." The beautiful girl with long hair greeted politely. Her voice was very gentle, as soft and quiet as a lily.
"Are you the famous detective? I've heard of you for a long time." Xiao Duo Mengzi bowed slightly.
"Hello." Tang Ze bowed slightly to the two of them as a return gesture.
Afterwards, he glanced at a few strangers standing in front of the work, admiring and chatting, then looked at Hanyu Saburo and asked, "Did you invite anyone else?"
"It's just a few friends. It was decided long before I came back."
Upon hearing this, Hanyu Saburo looked at the people admiring the transformation in the distance and said with a smile, "Although Kaito Kidd has sent out a preview letter, several friends have strongly requested to see the gift I gave to my daughter.
So we had to hold the party as scheduled. Of course, I also heard that Kaito Kidd is not a vicious thief and will not hurt anyone, so I agreed to the party with them..."
"I see." Tang Ze nodded and asked, "Then I wonder what Kidd's goal is now?"
"Ah, in the innermost exhibition hall."
Hearing this, Hanyu Saburo pointed to a door at the innermost part of the work and said, "Detective Karasawa, if you're interested, you can take a look. I still need to do a physical examination with Yumeko-chan, so I'll excuse myself for now."
"Well, Mr. Hanyu, please get down to business first." Tang Ze nodded and said with a smile, "I'll just take a look around first."
After bidding farewell to the three people who left, Tang Ze walked slowly forward, admiring the changes around him.
As his main profession in his previous life, Tang Ze's painting level has reached A-level, so he naturally has a certain level of appreciation.
When faced with the works of Saburo Hanyu, Tang Ze couldn't help but admire that he was worthy of being an international award-winner and his painting skills were indeed powerful.
As he went along, Tang Ze saw the painter's growth and style changes from these paintings.
They were too strict in the early stages, but later on they became relaxed and comfortable, and it seemed as if one could see the other person's mental journey.
Of course, there is also a painting that reveals that Hanyu Saburo has a special relationship with his personal doctor Kodo Yumeko.
Because one of the works is a painting of the other person lying on his side by the stream.
Well, the naked kind.
In response, Tang Ze just glanced at it and passed it by.
Arriving at the gate, we see the exhibition room where Saburo Hanyu displays his work "My Beloved Daughter."
When Tang Ze pushed open the door, what came into view was the beautiful portrait.
The girl in a white dress stood in the night sky with a smile on her face, her long hair fluttering gently in the evening breeze.
In the night sky behind, the Southern Cross, composed of the "bright starry sky", shines with the brilliant starry sky color, but it cannot become the dominant one.
In this beautiful painting, the girl is undoubtedly the protagonist of the painting. The "brilliant starry sky" that should have attracted everyone's attention has lost its color at this moment and has become a foil for the girl in the painting.
"It's so beautiful." Tang Ze admired the painting and thought to himself, "The painter must have used all his energy and effort to create this picture."
A good work of art can be very moving, and at this moment Tang Ze truly felt the artist's love for the girl.
"That's amazing! The gemstones alone could fetch 600-700 million yen. Add to that the painting itself, and it's likely to fetch several times that much!"
"Heh... what's with all that international award? Sooner or later, I'm going to expose that Hanyu's hideous face and show it to the world!"
"It's absolutely perfect!! I must get this painting!! No matter what it takes!!"
"But I didn't expect that guy actually has a daughter!"
"All the works here belong to me! You guys, stop dreaming!"
Just as Tang Ze was admiring the paintings, several people who had just been admiring the paintings outside also walked in. Soon, the noisy words and malicious content coming from all around reached Tang Ze's ears, making him frown.
Not long after they arrived, the door opened again, and Saburo Hanyu came in with the butler, Jirokichi Suzuki, Sonoko, Conan and others.
"Ah, Detective Tang Ze, you're here so early." Xiaolan was the first to greet Tang Ze after seeing him.
"Well, it's work after all, so of course I have to come early." Tang Ze smiled, "Having said that, you guys aren't much slower than me."
When everyone came in and saw Tang Ze, they all came forward to greet him. Hanyu Saburo, who was standing by, saw that everyone was there, so he asked the butler to call over the people who were admiring the paintings.
"Welcome everyone to my humble abode today."
Hanyu Saburo looked around at the guests who had arrived and said with a smile, "Today, in addition to all of you old friends, we have some new friends as well. Let me introduce them to you."
