Oikawa Takerai calmed down. Thinking that his father-in-law might have scared the children that night, he felt a little guilty. He felt that burning the paintings was not unforgivable, "Then he..."
"He raised his head and looked over. I have never forgotten those eyes over the years, a pair of eyes filled with pain and resentment." Kanhara Harukawa closed his eyes, as if he saw those eyes that were so clear in his dream again, and his right hand once again Trembling, tears streaming down her cheeks, "But at that time, just two years after my daughter's accident, I saw that the flames on the painting had already swallowed up my wife and were still swallowing up my daughter. I was Angry and fearful, I was like the distorted shadow on the painting, accusing him of being an evil spirit..."
"Father..." Oikawa Takerai frowned, looking at Kanbara Haruhito's painful expression, but still couldn't continue.
"I don't remember how I separated from him in the end. I don't remember what I did in my anger. I returned home in a daze, but I dreamed about it that night." Kanbaru Harukawa opened his eyes and looked at them empty. Looking ahead, he murmured, "I returned to the back door of the auction house in my dream. I saw those eyes full of pain again. I still loudly asked him why and started to accuse him of being a devil. I saw more clearly. After clearing the reflection in those eyes, I looked like a ghost with a terrifying face, putting his paws on a child's shoulders..."
Seeing that Kanbara Haruhito was in a bad state, Oikawa Takerai shouted, "Father!"
Kanhara Haruhito turned a deaf ear, as if he was in a nightmare, his eyes were still unfocused, and he spoke faster, "In the next few days, I always dreamed about that night and those eyes. I wanted to make changes, but I always pressed the button The original trajectory developed over and over again. In those dreams, the pain in his eyes became clearer and clearer, and the image of me reflected in them became clearer and clearer. Later, I found that when I picked up the brush, I will also think of those eyes, and my right hand will start to tremble, and I can’t hold the brush.”
Oikawa Takerai was a little surprised, "Is it because your hands are shaking that you can't draw anymore?"
"Yes, for more than ten years, I have had that dream every once in a while," Kanbara Haruhito calmed down and seemed to break free from the brief nightmare. His eyes regained clarity, but his spirit became even more depressed and he said weakly, " Guilt and regret are the most terrible curses. I lost my most proud ability as a painter, just like the punishment given to me by the curse. Over the years, I can only finish the "Qinglan" I painted for you, and then in Today, he showed up."
Mao Lilan wanted to say it was a coincidence, but when she thought of the dream that had lasted on and off for more than ten years, the person who could no longer paint had just finished a painting, and the person in the nightmare came to the door, and she felt chills on her back.
Is there really a curse?
No, no, if you say that, wouldn't Brother Chi be the wizard who cast a curse?
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
No wonder Kanhara Haruhito said before that 'guilt and regret are the most terrible curses'. If you want to believe in science, those dreams of Kanhara Haruhito must have been distorted by guilt and regret.
Kanbaru Harukawa looked dull and tired, "Wurai, I want to take the blame for you, and I also want everyone to think that I was afraid of him, so I attacked him. I was indeed afraid. I have been thinking about what I did later and what I did. What did you say again, why can’t I remember..."
"What don't you remember?"
A calm male voice came from the door, and Mu Mu Shisan and others turned to look over.
When Mao Lilan saw the client coming, she took two steps back and made way for Chi Feichi to enter. "Yes, I'm talking about something that happened twelve years ago. Mr. Kanhara is very sorry..."
"Feel sorry?"
Chi Feichi looked at the situation in the room. The couple sitting together looked like they had cried. His teacher was also laid down against the wall. It seemed that the incident had been resolved.
"That's it..." Mao Lilan hesitated.
Haibara Ai thought about Kanbara Haruhito who was going crazy just now, and decided to help, "Because he lost his temper with you at that time, so I feel sorry..."
Chi Feichi nodded calmly, as if to indicate that he understood, and also as if to say, 'So that's how it is'.
other people:"……"
It's so calming.
"I want to know what I did after that year," Kanbara Haruhito looked up at Chi Feichi, "What I did after you said, 'You seem to be in pain,' I can't remember clearly. The memory is very vague..."
Chi Feichi stared at Kanbaru Haruhito to confirm, "Don't you remember?"
Others immediately became nervous.
His face was serious and his voice was a little cold. Could it be that something unpleasant really happened?
Kanbara Haruhito felt that he could bear all the truth, and nodded with a tired look, "I have wanted to know it all these years, but I can't remember it."
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, "You sighed and turned around to leave. You were also distracted when you were crossing the road. A very fast car happened to rush towards you. I didn't have anything on hand at the time, so I used the auction to hold paintings. That wooden box was thrown at you..."
He really wanted to tell Haruhito Kanbara that since he couldn't remember it, forget it and stop thinking about it.
other people:"……"
Could it be that Mr. Kanbara cannot remember that memory because he was hit?
"In front of you is the park green belt, and the wooden box hit your back, knocking you into the ditch dug when repairing the green belt." Chi Feichi felt that since Kambara Haruhito wanted to know, he was qualified to know, "But It’s like letting you avoid that car.”
Kanbaru Haruhito: "..."
He was covered in mud stains and grass blades, not because he did something crazy later, but because he was thrown into a ditch?
The others looked at Mouri Kogoro who was leaning against the wall.
A certain sleeping famous detective really got it right. People really fell into the ditch, but they were not kicked, but smashed.
"Then not long after, you stood up from the ditch and left along the road," Chi Feichi continued, "My butler came out to find me, so I followed him back to the auction venue."
other people:"……"
After listening to Mr. Kanhara's version, and then listening to Chi Feichi's story behind it, I always felt that this experience seemed not to be on the same line.
Chi Feichi stepped forward and squatted down, placing the large wooden box in his hand next to Kanhara Haruhito. After opening the lid of the box, he took out the painting inside and handed it to Kanhara Haruhito, "This is for you."
Kanbaru Haruhito took the painting in a daze, lowered his head to see the content of the painting, and was stunned for a moment, "This, this is..."
Conan walked over curiously. This should be what Chi Fei had sent to him...
A painting.
In the painting, the cabin is located in the forest. The sunlight passes through the lush green branches and leaves and is divided into long beams of light. In the garden in front of the cabin, a long-haired woman in a blue dress holds a white skirt. The little girl spins in circles, and the woman turns sideways due to the rotation, and her long hair blown by the wind blocks her face, but looking at the movements, people are happy. The little girl is being held in circles, with a happy smile on her face, and next to her, The man in a dark blue suit turned to look at his wife and daughter. His eyes and lips were soft and he didn't smile, but one could feel that the gaze he was looking at his wife and daughter was very gentle.
When he saw this painting, Conan instantly remembered the painting that Haruhito Kanhara mentioned just now - "Home".
Oikawa Wu Lai also saw the content of the painting and looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.
It was not much different from the one he saw in his memory, but it was not the one painted by his father-in-law.
The brushstrokes in this painting are very childish, and there are many places that are a bit rough, but this painting...
Kanbaru Haruhito gently rubbed the edge of the painting with his fingers. For a moment he thought of his wife and daughter, of the scene when he painted that painting, and for a moment he thought of the little boy's eyes full of pain when he looked up outside the back door that night. , thinking of the ferocious face he saw in his eyes.
He also remembered that when the little boy said, "You seem to be in pain," the complex emotions in his eyes were inquisitive and slightly apologetic.
When a child was sad, he even inflicted a wound on the other child. He always thought that the complicated look that could not be seen clearly in a dream would be fear, fright, or something else, but he never expected that it would be like this...
"At that time, I had to go to school and learn other things. I didn't have much spare time. It took me two years to paint like this," Chi Feichi explained for the original consciousness. "But at that time, there were rumors outside that the painter Qingren had passed away. I don’t paint anymore, so I keep it in the warehouse.”
"Snapped!……"
A tear fell on the painting, leaving long water marks on the paper.
Haibara Ai looked silently at Kanbara Haruhito who was whimpering softly.
It turns out that what Brother Chi wanted to give to Mr. Kanhara was a replica of the painting that was burned that year.
It's just a child who realizes that he has destroyed someone else's treasure, and simply wants to restore and carve the treasure bit by bit, make it again, and return it to that person.
Even if the treasure is not good for that child, even if the person who lost the treasure once said evil things...
"I am the evil spirit..." Haruhito Kanbara sobbed, hugged the painting tightly, and cried out, "I am the evil spirit! I was the evil spirit that night!"
Oikawa Burai saw his father-in-law, who was over eighty years old, crying like a child. He felt sad for a moment, and then remembered that he had almost failed this old man's efforts, and he had the intention to kill such an old man who cared about him and made him feel distressed. He reached out and hugged the old man in front of him, and tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes again, "No, I am the evil ghost..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
These people have never even seen what an evil ghost looks like, and they are still trying to become evil ghosts?
The people around watched quietly. The sentimental Mao Lilan lowered his head and quietly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Chi Feichi was still squatting next to Kanbaru Haruhito, and did not get up in a hurry. He waited until the father-in-law and son-in-law stopped crying, then said, "Mr. Kanhara, I want to ask you a few questions."
Kanbaru Haruhito wiped his tears, looked up and saw Chi Feichi's calm and deep eyes, and sighed, "What a big change... Just ask."
"Did you really not see it?" Chi Feichi observed Kanhara Haruhito's expression, "The car that almost hit you back then..."
Kanbara Haruhito felt a lot of pressure, but in comparison, he was more afraid of seeing those eyes full of pain back then. He avoided Chi Feichi's gaze, lowered his head and thought about it, shook his head and said, "I really don't remember what happened at that time. ”
