Faced with Hanyu Sakurako's invitation, Conan naturally chose to accept.
Xiaolan, Sonoko and others were also very interested in Hanyu Saburo's studio. Although they had not visited the exhibition room yet, Sakurako said that since they were staying here at night, they could go there to play first and come back here to visit after dinner.
So a few young people decided to go to Lavender Villa to see where the other party was painting, and then go to the lavender garden to admire the sea of flowers.
However, although we are going to Lavender Villa and the studio can be seen from here, there is actually still a clear distance between them.
According to Hanyu Sakurako, if you walk, it will take about ten minutes, but it will only take a few minutes by car.
Xiaolan and Sonoko discussed it and decided to walk there. After all, it was a place they had never visited before, and they would miss a lot of the scenery if they took a car.
Moreover, the two of them also wanted to experience firsthand the feeling of being in a sea of lavender flowers.
"But is it really okay for us to go to the studio without asking Mr. Hanyu's opinion?" Xiaolan asked worriedly.
"It's okay."
Hanyu Sakurako waved her hand and explained, "When my father was painting, he wouldn't let anyone into the studio. But if he wasn't working recently, he would open the studio as an exhibition room for art dealers or visitors.
It just so happens that my father recently completed that award-winning work and is taking a break, so the studio is now used as an exhibition hall for people to visit."
A few people walked and talked while looking at the different scenery around them, and soon they approached the lavender garden.
When he came here, Tang Ze didn't dare to turn on his super sense of smell, because even with normal sense of smell, he could smell the rich scent of lavender in the sea of flowers. If he turned on his super sense of smell, he would probably drown.
At this moment, Paul, who had been following Hanyu Sakurako, suddenly started barking wildly, completely changing his previous well-behaved appearance.
“Woof woof woof!!”
“Woof woof woof!!”
Paul's barking attracted everyone's attention, but before anyone could react, Paul turned around and ran away.
"What happened?" Yuanzi looked at Paul's running figure and said worriedly: "Paul just ran away..."
“Ah… Really…”
Hanyu Sakurako looked at Paul running away with some helplessness, then smiled and explained to everyone, "Don't worry, Paul seems to hate the smell of lavender, so when he gets near here, he will bark non-stop and then run away."
"Hey... there's actually a dog like this..." Sonoko said in surprise, "This is the first time I've seen one..."
Although the dog ran away, it didn't affect anything. Several girls were walking in front, while Tang Ze and Ayako were following behind, strolling in the sea of flowers, watching the sunset in the sky dye the sky red.
When they arrived at the door of Lavender Villa, a group of people nearby saw the criminal standing guard at the door. After Hanyu Sakurako stepped forward to explain the situation, he let them pass.
After asking questions, Tang Ze learned that the other party was arranged by Zhongshan Yinsan, and he himself was dispatching troops nearby to make the final overall arrangements.
However, before Tang Ze could continue talking to the other party, the exclamations from inside directly attracted Tang Ze's attention, and he hurriedly walked into the villa.
When he arrived at the door, he found Xiaolan and others standing there in a panic. Tang Ze looked inside the house and found that the floor was covered with dense and messy footprints.
"What's going on..." Xiaolan looked at the messy ground and said in shock: "Could it be Kaito Kidd?"
This sentence seemed to remind Hanyu Sakurako. She looked around and pointed at a blank drawing board next to her and said in panic, "Oh no...! Dad's self-portrait is gone!"
"kindness?"
When Tang Ze and others looked in the direction the other party pointed, they found a blank drawing board.
"Damn Kaito Kidd!! He actually published false information!!"
Just as Tang Ze was looking around the room with a frown, Nakamori Ginzo, who had received the news from the detective guarding outside, rushed over angrily, "That bastard thief! He didn't even come according to the notice. He's truly a shameless thief!!"
Pass the order down, conduct a comprehensive carpet search! ”
"Well, Detective Nakamori, just wait and see and get this matter settled."
Tang Ze comforted the other party and said, "You are an old rival of Kaito Kidd. You know that although he is a thief, he is definitely not a person without bottom line.
And they will definitely act according to the notice they issued, right?"
"Then, Detective Tang Ze, do you think the culprit is someone else?!" Upon hearing this, Ginzo Nakamori looked at Tang Ze, obviously understanding what he meant.
"Although I'm not completely sure, I have this idea." Tang Ze nodded and said, "Please ask Officer Nakamori to gather everyone here first."
Although Tang Ze said on the surface that he was not completely sure, he was already certain that this was not the work of Kaito Kidd.
He becomes Kaito Kidd and steals gems from all over the world, just because the mysterious organization that killed his father is looking for a gem called "Pandora".
So he stole the gems just because he wanted to find "Pandora" ahead of the mysterious organization.
As for other works of art, he was not interested in them and was unwilling to buy them unless there was a special reason, such as the "Egg of Memory" incident, then he would take action on things other than gems.
The painting had no gems inlaid on it and no other special meaning, so it was impossible for Kaito Kidd to steal it.
Not to mention the theft that occurred outside the notice, it was not in line with the style of Hei Yu Douzi at all.
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Nakamori Ginzo finally nodded, agreeing with Tang Ze's words. Moreover, if something was lost here, it would be reasonable to inform the owner of the lost item.
"Detective Nakamori!! We've apprehended a suspicious man near the mansion!"
Just after Ginzo Nakamori told Saburo Hanyu the news, a criminal rushed over and reported a worrying situation.
“Nani!!”
Upon hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo hurried out the door: "Let me see!!"
When Tang Ze and others heard the news, they naturally followed.
After seeing the other party, the man with a big bag and a confused look on his face began to answer Nakamori Ginzo's questions honestly.
According to his self-introduction, his name is Yamada Anjo and he is a freelancer. When the detective found him, he was wandering around the mansion.
According to the other party, he just got lost while climbing the mountain.
Just when Nakamori Ginzo was about to frown and verify the identity with a look of disbelief, Hanyu Saburo and the others in the mansion, who had received the news, hurried over by car.
Tang Ze looked at the group of people who had arrived and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
