"Mr. Oikawa, it's never too late," Conan said softly and seriously in the voice of Kogoro Mori, "Did you know? There is a reckless high school student who often falls and bumps into things while walking. My disciple Even if you only see it from the corner of your sight, even if you just reach out like a conditioned reflex, you can still pull the other person accurately. When he picks up the phone, there is only a point of light in the dark. Do you think he can pick up a phone like this? Will you make a mistake and knock your phone off?”
Mao Lilan was surprised and looked at her father who was sitting against the wall at home, "Dad, you mean Brother Chi..."
"I think when he found that the phone screen illuminated the unconscious Mr. Kanbara's neck, he had already realized that something was wrong, so he knocked the phone against the wall," Conan said with emotion, "Of course, this is just mine. Guess, but I don’t think that someone suddenly attacked him, but he was indifferent to who the other person was and why he attacked him. The greater possibility is that he had vaguely guessed who the person was. Mr. Oikawa, it seems that in When you find that the light of your mobile phone does not illuminate Mr. Kanhara, if you choose to stop, it will not be too late at that time. When your knife pierces Fei Chi's body, if you choose to confess sincerely, it will not be too late at that time. During the entire investigation process , if you choose to tell everything to the police, it will not be too late at that time, and even now, before anyone gives you a chance, how can it be too late?"
The famous detective who became sentimental made others fall silent for a while, and also made others silently send good guy cards to Chi Feichi one after another.
Kuroba Kaito was in a daze.
The old man who used snakes to scare him, kidnapped him, and asked him to teach him the art of disguise, the old man who followed criminal organizations to intimidate and persecute good people, the old man who shot him if he disagreed with him... so it turned out that he was so good?
I always feel like something is wrong, but what the famous detective said makes sense.
It is impossible for Brother Fei Chi to even touch a cell phone. It is impossible for Brother Fei Chi not to pay attention to the person who almost stabbed him in the heart. It is more likely that he already knows all this and still feels that he can give Mr. Oikawa time, or even You can just keep silent.
Could it be that...he has a misunderstanding about my brother?
"I..." Oikawa Murai was surrounded by guilt, lowered his head and his eyes were red. If he had been stabbed, he might not have been able to give the other party a chance, "Huh, I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean it. At that time, I tripped over my father-in-law's body and threw myself out uncontrollably..."
"If you want to apologize, let's wait until he comes. But before that, Mr. Oikawa, you also have a misunderstanding about Mr. Kanbara. When you saw the painting "Qinglan", didn't you understand?" Conan said slowly, "The way he wants to tell you is that he will complete the painting for you, and he has completed it."
"How, how is this possible?" Oikawa Murai was reminded. In fact, he had a vague feeling that this was true, but he still couldn't believe it. He looked at Kanbaru Haruhito sitting in front of the window in shock, "My father-in-law's hands are shaking. I can’t even pick up a paintbrush.”
Conan said in the voice of Mouri Kogoro, "The marks on his left thumb are from holding a palette for a long time..."
Kanbaru Haruhito's left hand that was placed on his knee shrank, but then stopped, no longer covering the round marks on his fingers.
Kuroba Kaito felt that he should stand up and talk about what he had discovered before. He faced Takagi Wataru and said sternly, "We found a paintbrush with teeth marks in the safe in Mr. Kanbara's room. I miss him." I must have held the brush between my teeth and tried my best to imitate your style to paint this "Qinglan"."
Behind the cabinet, Conan was stunned, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Open a safe? I saw a certain guy who couldn't sit still and ran over anyway.
Well, let’s wait until the business is done.
Oikawa Takerai saw the marks on Kanbara Haruhito's fingers, and his voice was trembling, "Then...then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Kanbaru Haruhito sat in front of the window, lowered his head deeply, and sighed, "No matter how close I imitate, it is still a fake painted by me. If others know, it will be your stain. I am thinking how to make you accept it." , as your teacher, when I was teaching you, I said that it would be shameful no matter what, but now I want to persuade you to accept it. How can I say this..."
Mumu Shisan looked at the painting in his hand and said with emotion, "Although it was painted with teeth and the brushstrokes are a bit rough, I also like this painting "Qinglan". It is the same as the previous three paintings. It contains I want to help my loved ones.”
"how so……"
Oikawa Burai thought of Haruhito Kanbara holding the brush between his teeth to imitate his style and finishing the painting bit by bit with difficulty. He thought of his mentor and father-in-law who was still worrying about him at an early age, but he still planned to kill Kanbaru. Qingren lost his strength for a moment and fell to his knees, holding his hands on the floor, tears falling like rain, "How could this happen..."
"Mr. Oikawa, nothing happened to Mr. Kanbara. Fei Chi is still young. He can be alive and kicking after taking good care of his injuries. Do you remember what I just said?" Conan spoke in the voice of Mouri Kogoro, with mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't help but smile, "It's not too late."
He didn't care whether Chi Feichi was really giving Oikawa Takerai a chance, or whether he had just entered the Buddhist state of 'everything is fleeting,' but the fact was that Chi Feichi was probably already preventing the tragedy from happening.
When none of them noticed that tragedy was brewing, it was Chi Feichi who prevented Mr. Kanbaru from being killed by his only relative due to a misunderstanding with all his concerns, and also prevented Mr. Oikawa from being killed again. My loved ones regretted it for the rest of their lives after learning the truth.
What he said was right, it was Chi Feichi who gave Oikawa Burai the chance that it was 'not too late'.
Because he once had a regret that he regretted endlessly, so he felt that this moment of "not too late" was really wonderful, and it also made him feel... his little friend is so good!
"I..." Oikawa Burai felt better when he thought that the tragedy had not happened yet. He still knelt on the ground, looked up at Kanbara Haruhito, and said loudly, "I'm very sorry!"
"Guilt and regret are the most terrible emotions. They will accumulate and brew in the heart, like a curse that cannot be escaped." Kanbara Haruhito sighed, stood up and walked to Oikawa Burai. He reached out and patted Oikawa Burai on the shoulder. After sitting down, he said softly with a serious expression, "But Wulai, just like Mr. Mori said, everything is too late."
"Father!" Oikawa Burai rushed forward, hugging Kanbara Haruhito and crying bitterly.
Kanbaru Haruhito sighed again and looked at the door blankly, "It's all over."
Conan felt that he should say something to his friends. He did not rush to give up the temporary tool of Moori Kogoro, and continued to use the voice changer, "Mr. Kanbara, Fei Chi said, he burned your paintings back then, and I apologize to you on his behalf. , but he..."
"No, Mr. Mori, actually it's me who should apologize." Kanhara Haruhito interrupted in a harsh voice.
"What exactly happened back then?" Oikawa Takerai straightened up and couldn't help but ask, "That day when you came home in a state of despair, covered in grass blades and mud stains, was... was that that time?"
Kanbara Haruhito nodded, as if he had lost all his strength, hunched his back, and sighed, "He is the person who bought that painting, the one with my deceased wife, my daughter who was lying in the hospital bed at the time, and A painting titled "Home" of me and our family of three on vacation."
Oikawa Takerai was stunned, and his hands began to tremble, "C-could it be that painting he burned? It was the one you had been collecting and hesitated for two years before selling..."
Conan hid behind the cabinet and couldn't help but sweat when he saw Oikawa Takerai's eyes widening and his hands shaking like crazy.
He didn't know what kind of painting Chi Feichi burned before, but now it seems that he is in big trouble.
That painting seems to be a very important thing to these two people. Looking at Oikawa Wu Lai's excited look now, he has no doubt that if Oikawa Wu Lai had known that this painting was burned by Chi Fei Chi, he would have burned it. "He tripped and accidentally stabbed Chi Feichi", which turned into "he stabbed Chi Feichi hard with anger".
Wait, he remembered that his uncle had asked Chi Feichi before whether Mr. Kanhara and Oikawa had any motive. Chi Feichi said that Mr. Kanhara was unlikely, but he quickly remembered something and suddenly stopped talking.
Chi Feichi's silence may also be because he suspected Oikawa Burai's motives. In other words, Chi Feichi had indeed known some truths for a long time, excluded Mr. Kanbara, and targeted Oikawa Burai. Maybe his silence at that time was because I guess the reason for being stabbed was because of the burning of paintings...
Mao Lilan and Haiyuan Ai lowered their heads silently, while Black Feather Kaito also felt guilty for Chi Feichi.
“That’s the painting,” recalled Haruhito Kanhara. “That day I learned that the painting had been sold for a high price, and I was very happy to prepare to leave early from the back door. However, I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy at the back door, standing on a burning In front of the picture..."
"That's too much!" Oikawa Takerai was very angry, "His parents didn't tell him..."
Haiyuan Ai suddenly raised his head and looked at Kanbaru Haruhito.
The name of the painting is "Home", and it depicts a family of three. It must be a very happy picture, but Chi was seven or eight years old at that time, and her godmother and uncle Shinosuke had both gone abroad...
Conan, Kuroba Kaito, and Mao Lilan were startled, but they also reacted.
They seemed to know the reason why Chi Fei burned his paintings late.
"Tell him..." Oikawa Takerai didn't hold back the rest of his words for a long time.
What do you say to others? Cherish the fruits of other people’s labor? When someone buys a painting, it's other people's business to deal with it, but... when he thinks about his wife introducing the painting to him with a happy face, but the painting was deliberately burned, he feels tight and aggrieved!
"I was just as angry as you at that time, so I rushed up to question him," Haruhito Kanhara said in a calm tone, but a look of pain appeared on his face, "Wurai, can you imagine? A child standing alone outside the back door, But I rushed forward full of anger and asked him what he was doing and why he was doing it."
