Conan and Professor Agasa rushed to the table to observe. Having spent so many years at crime scenes, Conan wasn't afraid at all and immediately began to observe from the table.
Based on his suspicions, he estimated that the dead man was the old man who engraved coins, and that he died while writing a letter to Professor Agasa's aunt.
Professor Agasa was puzzled: "How did this person know about this secret room?"
"He must be the painter of that oil painting. As for why he hid here, it's probably because of that."
Conan pulled something out from behind and tossed it to Professor Agasa.
Upon closer inspection, Dr. Agasa was somewhat surprised: "Twenty-dollar lead plates? These are used to make counterfeit money!"
Conan nodded: "It must have been someone who asked this painter to do it, but later I don't know why the painter changed his mind. He hid here to escape that person's pursuit. He sent it to your aunt to express his gratitude. The code was because he didn't want that person to know that he lived in this place."
"The one who often looks into her mailbox should be the one who asked him to make counterfeit money, and he should also be the one who broke the toy."
"Kid, your reasoning is brilliant!" A man's voice reached everyone's ears. "I finally found the box after a lot of trouble. I thought it contained lead plates, but all I saw were toys, so in a fit of anger, I poked them all to pieces."
"I've been looking for him here ever since I learned that he had a good relationship with the owner of this villa, but I never expected there to be a secret room here."
"Thank you, kid!"
The man walked up the stairs, pointed a gun at Conan and his group, and threatened, "You'd better hand me the lead plate right now. Although I have a gun, I don't want to kill anyone. If you don't listen to me, it might accidentally go off!"
Suddenly, the man's pupils contracted, he stammered a sound, and collapsed to the ground.
A familiar voice came from behind him: "I'll fucking make you misfire!"
Everyone was overjoyed to hear the voice: "Kuangyou!"
Behind him stood Guangyou, who had long since disappeared. Guangyou looked somewhat impatient: "Am I playing hide-and-seek with you? You're just running around aimlessly? Is that fun?"
The man lying on the ground widened his eyes and tried to raise his gun to fire, but Guangyou naturally didn't give him the chance: "Still trying to resist? Watch my Chaotic Cloak Leg Technique! Cucumber Egg Crushing Kill!"
Guangyou raised his leg and kicked the man between his legs, each kick harder than the last, making all the boys present feel a pang of pain in their testicles.
Everyone felt sorry for the man.
Seeing the man on the ground staring wide-eyed, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing, Guangyou scoffed and said, "Pah!"
After dealing with the man, Guangyou looked up and asked the others, "Are you all alright?"
"Where did you go before?" Conan asked, looking at Kousuke who had suddenly appeared.
Guangyou explained, "I noticed there were other people nearby, so I went out to check. This blockhead kept circling around me, playing hide-and-seek with me."
Why didn't you tell me?
"What good would it do to tell you? I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but none of you here can fight!"
Although Guangyou's words sounded very arrogant, they had to admit that they were true.
An old man and four children, their fighting power is almost zero.
Conan pointed at the man still convulsing on the ground: "You're too cruel!"
Upon seeing the man on the ground, Conan felt a chill run down his spine.
Guangyou said very solemnly and seriously, "Hesitation will lead to defeat! Besides, I don't have any weapons. Can I even jump up and hit him on the head?"
Conan couldn't refute it: "enmnm."
This time, the boss was lying on the ground. Conan looked around the entire secret room with relief. Inside, there was a painting that had been covered up. After seeing it, Conan asked, "Professor, what happened to your aunt?"
"She passed away last year at the age of 76. She never got married in her life."
Upon hearing Professor Agasa's reply, Kōyū casually hummed a tune: "Whose lovers are they now~"
On the way home, Professor Agasa still frowned: "After that incident, your father called me Professor Sun for a while, and I don't know why, Conan, do you know?"
Conan chuckled upon hearing this: "Of course! Professor, if you look at the solution chart, all your names have a sun symbol on them."
"Hahaha!" With the mystery solved and the story so amusing, Professor Agasa burst into laughter: "From now on, you can call me Professor Sun!"
Kōyū, sitting in the back seat, said quietly, "Okay, Dr. Rin."
Professor Agasa corrected, "It's Professor Sun!"
"Okay, no problem! Dr. Ri!"
