As Hanyu Sakurako exclaimed, everyone's eyes looked in the direction she pointed.
And there, there was only an empty picture, and in the gap between the drawing board and the easel, there was a familiar card quietly placed on it.
Seeing this, Nakamori Ginzo on the side shouted twice into the intercom, letting the criminals know that the fire was out, and then they rushed directly to the drawing board.
Seeing the contents of the notice in his hand, Nakamori Ginzo's expression gradually became ferocious, and the bulging blood vessels on his forehead showed how angry the other party was.
Tang Ze took the notice letter from the other party and read the contents of the letter.
"When the flames descend, it announces that the feast is about to begin. Just like today, the "theme" will be taken away by me, and the "incomplete" beauty will become eternal. - by Kaito Kidd"
"Damn thief, his methods are getting more and more extreme. Has his true colors finally been revealed?!"
Nakamori Ginzo snorted coldly and said, "A criminal is a criminal. Do you think you can become a chivalrous thief like Arsene Lupin by pretending to be a gentleman?"
After all, they were old rivals, so when facing this hateful thief, Nakamori Ginzo seized the opportunity to belittle and despise him, saying that he was worthless.
"But...what does stealing the 'theme' mean?" Sonoko said a little confused after seeing the contents of the preview letter.
"Every painting has a 'theme', which generally refers to the reference object," Tang Ze explained.
"Huh? The notice said Kaito Kidd was going to take away the 'theme' as well..." Ran looked at Hanyu Sakurako beside her and said in surprise, "Doesn't that mean Sakurako is in danger!?"
"We can't rule out this possibility!" Nakamori Ginzo said solemnly, "Now it seems that after so many days, that bastard has almost revealed his criminal nature!
Miss Yingzi, if it is convenient, I will mobilize a large number of people to protect your safety!"
Although paintings are important, they are insignificant compared to human lives. In this regard, Ginzo Nakamori still knows how to prioritize.
"I...I understand..." Hanyu Sakurako's face looked a little ugly when she heard this, but after hearing what Nakamori Ginzo said, she couldn't help but nodded.
However, Tang Ze still disagreed with what Ginzo Nakamori said.
Putting aside other things, Kidd has a very positive outlook on life. Stealing gems is just a trial run to see if they are what he is looking for, and he will not do anything that is against the law of nature or that would anger others.
On the contrary, although he was always being hunted by the police, he actually did a lot of good things in the process of stealing the gems and attracted a lot of young fans.
Putting aside whether it would be useful for him to steal the painting, even if he did, it would be impossible for him to set fire to the reference objects in the painting.
What's going on? The painting of "My Beloved Daughter" that we steal tomorrow is a portrait. Could it be that Kuroba Toko is planning to kill Hanyu Sakurako?
That's obviously impossible.
So there is only one truth - someone impersonated Kaito Kid!
However, Tang Ze still had no way to use this information "outside the wall", and Tang Ze thought that what Nakamori Ginzo did was not wrong. After all, human life is more important than a painting.
Although we don't know what the guy pretending to be Kaito Kid is planning, it's better to be cautious considering that he burned the reference theme after stealing the painting.
By the time everything was done, it was already completely dark. Everyone sat back at the Hanyu family's residence and enjoyed a luxurious dinner.
Although the food was delicious, everyone present had their own thoughts, so they were obviously a little distracted during the dinner.
At night.
Because of the warning letter from Kaito Kid, a large number of police forces were mobilized to Sakurako's residence to protect her safety.
But after all, the other party is still a girl, so a group of grown men still can't protect her closely.
After learning about this, Xiaolan took the initiative to volunteer to live with the other party, and Sakurako welcomed this.
After dinner, the three girls went to the exhibition room. As for Conan and Tang Ze, they went to the site of the burned tree to check the situation.
The big tree that was originally full of greenery was now burned into charcoal by a huge fire. According to the forensic examiner of the forensic department, gasoline was poured on the tree, which is why the fire could start in an instant and catch people off guard.
The fire point was found at several roots of the tree. It was a very simple fire-starting device. Basically, anyone with a little knowledge of physics can handle it. After all, the tree was covered with gasoline, so it would catch fire as soon as it touched fire. It was not difficult.
As for why no one smelled such a strong smell, it was naturally because the big tree was far away from the mansion.
After all, Hanyu is a world-renowned painter. Although he is not as rich as the Suzuki family, he is also a wealthy man.
This can be seen from his paintings. In recent years, all of his landscape paintings have been based on the surrounding scenery.
It can be said that this mountain basically belongs to him, and he can design and construct it however he wants.
I can only say that the life of rich people is really unimaginable.
The lack of clues was within the expectations of Tang Ze and the others. Afterwards, they went to Lavender Villa to take a look. During this period, Conan also doubted whether the culprit was Kaito Kid.
Tang Ze also expressed his opinion on this, and the two agreed that the other party was most likely impersonating Kaito Kid and committing crimes.
After all, Conan is a good friend who loves and hates each other, and he has a deep understanding of Kaito Kid.
Based on this, although the two wanted to find some evidence of this impostor, they still found nothing.
It can be seen that even if this guy is not Kaito Kidd, he is careful enough.
Having gained nothing, the two finally chose to go back to their room to rest. After all, tomorrow was the day when the notice letter was sent out, and emergencies might even occur in the middle of the night, so they were destined not to be able to sleep too soundly.
In this case, it is better to go back and rest early.
At three o'clock in the morning, a commotion woke Tang Ze from his sleep. He immediately got up and walked out. The door of the room next to him opened and Conan looked outside with a serious expression.
"What happened?" Tang Ze grabbed a criminal and asked, "Is the painting lost?"
"No, no, it's the gemstone embedded in it that's missing!" the criminal hurriedly explained, "It's the 'brilliant starry sky' on it that's missing!"
At this moment, a group of criminals hurriedly ran towards the exhibition room. However, two people who had some guesses did not run towards the exhibition room, but ran towards Hanyu Sakurako's room.
Compared to paintings or gems, the safety of Sakurako Hanyu, who represents the "theme" in the other party's notice letter, is more of a concern.
But no matter how Tang Ze and the others knocked on the door, there was no response from the room, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
