Chapter 325: Sunflower of Hellfire (Part )
"We've been listening to our father's stories since we were little, and since he passed away, we've been searching for the Ashiya Himawari. The only clue we have is the words of the young man who took over the painting."
"In order to prevent this famous painting from being confiscated by the Allies, he deliberately restored the painting into a fake, and then secretly sent it to Europe and hid it." Higashi Yukiji recounted his search for the painting over the years.
Suzuki Jirokichi was shocked: "Could it be that the sunflower I photographed is the Ashiya sunflower?"
"It turns out it wasn't burned down." Sonoko and Xiaolan sighed.
"This is a blessing in disguise. A painting that has been passed down from generation to generation has escaped the fate of being burned," the painter sighed.
Higashi Koji went on to describe how the two brothers found the painting: "We ended up in France and found the Ashiya Sunflowers in the attic of an old house in Arles. But after finally finding the painting, my brother changed his mind."
"He believed that the painting should remain in Arles, Van Gogh's favorite place during his lifetime, and he threatened to destroy it immediately if I did not agree."
"I completely couldn't understand why he had such an idea that completely went against the wishes of my grandfather and father. We had an argument, and during the argument, the gun went off, and I accidentally shot my brother..."
"Finally, in order to prevent me from being accused, my brother walked into a sunflower field alone and disguised his death as suicide."
"Later, when I heard that Japan wanted to hold an exhibition of sunflower paintings, I got involved as a researcher. This way, I could have the opportunity to see Ashiya Sunflower return to Japan with my own eyes, fulfilling the wish of three generations of my family."
Higashi Koji continued his story: "I had originally planned to turn myself in to the police station when the exhibition was over, but now I have to do it earlier than planned."
"Okay, I understand. Megure is on his way here. It would be great if you are willing to surrender yourself." Inspector Nakamori explained the situation to Higashi Yukiji.
"Wait a minute, although I am willing to surrender myself, I am definitely not the suspicious person you just mentioned!" Dong Xingji explained anxiously.
"What did you say? Are you still trying to make excuses at this time?"
"Hey, the sunflowers are burning!"
"Don't change the subject!"
"Really, the sunflowers on both sides of the road are really burning!"
Jack pointed to the fire lights on other surveillance screens and said, "Inspector, it looks like there's a real fire. Don't forget, the fire protection system doesn't seem to be able to start yet."
At the same time, several people on other floors reported seeing fire and hoped that firefighting could be organized immediately.
After confirming the fire through the temperature sensor, Suzuki Jirokichi said helplessly: "If the disaster prevention system can't be activated, we can only retreat now."
The flames spread very quickly. After Mr. Goto completed the emergency detachment operation of the sunflower paintings, he immediately pulled Conan out of the monitoring room. However, Conan keenly noticed that the second and fifth sunflower paintings were not successfully detached on the monitoring system screen.
However, at this time, everyone had already boarded the emergency escape elevator and was heading to the rooftop, and a helicopter also came to provide support.
When the elevator reached the rooftop and everyone was busy escaping, Conan turned and rushed into the fire. He wanted to save the two sunflower paintings that had not been removed in time.
[Jack: This kid is really not afraid of death.]
[Painter: Since he wants to save a masterpiece, I won't say anything about him.]
[Crowd: Fiona, can I come in?]
[Priest: Go ahead, go ahead. Just don’t come back covered in smoke.]
[Jack: I'll go check it out too. No one can see me since I'm invisible.]
[Air Force: No, the air in this fire is filled with Jack, they will suffocate to death.]
[Crying Clown: Hahaha, this is hilarious.]
[Jack: Ghost!]
While enduring the scorching flames, Kaito Kid, disguised as Kudo Shinichi, struggled to send the fifth sunflower into the emergency escape passage, and then turned back to save the second sunflower. At this time, he was already exhausted and out of breath.
"The situation is not good. If this goes on, not to mention Sunflower, even I..." Although Kidd complained, he did not stop the rescue action.
Conan rushed to Kidd's side: "Kid!"
"Why are you here!" Kidd was very surprised to see Conan.
"Let's not talk about this for now. How about the other painting?"
"I loosened the rod on that side in no time, but the one on this side is stuck tightly. If I don't hurry, the painting will melt from the heat!"
Just as Conan was about to throw a football at Sunflower to send it into the emergency escape passage, a sudden voice rang out from the raging flames.
"I'm coming!"
The King of Stars, wearing a gown as gorgeous as the flames, shook off the sparks on his body and bowed to the two of them.
"Ah?" Kidd was a little confused. He didn't expect that a person could jump out of the fire.
Conan immediately recognized the Acrobat as his Supervisor and ran over to ask for help: "Brother Mike! Come and help us. Supervisors should be stronger, so help us push this painting into the passage!"
"No problem, look at me, the little prince of fireworks!" Xuanxiao confidently jumped in front of the painting while holding his star-shaped ribbon.
After half a minute, the painting remained motionless.
"Brother Mike, is your Supervisor form so weak in strength?" Conan said, his eyes half-mooned. "Is this normal?"
Feeling that he was doing more harm than good, Xuanxiao was a little helpless: "Why do I feel that my strength is not as great as before..."
[Noisy: That's right, I'm afraid of Erliu and OB-sama. Please strengthen me quickly.]
[Jack: You are poisonous. Go to jail.]
[Lame Sheep: Honestly, I should be able to get a starting spot in the Abyss Arena.]
[Opera Singer: Congratulations.]
[Shadow of Time and Space: Congratulations.]
[Apostle: Congratulations.]
[Doctor: I've never been on the field.]
[Nightmare: There should be some, but it’s just not enough.]
[Fool's Gold: Haha, look at all the supermodels who came to the manor before and after me.]
[Entomologist: In a sense, you are also a supermodel.]
[Fool's Gold:?]
[Little girl: I know, it’s a super male model!]
[Reporter:?! Little Alice, who taught you this word?]
[Little girl: That's what the gossip on the bulletin board said.]
[Spellcaster: I think our bulletin board is in dire need of an overhaul.]
[Cheerleader: Agreed.]
[Night Watchman: No, I just posted a hundred tips for ice fishing.]
[Philanthropist: I was wondering why all the goldfish in my fish tank disappeared. At first I thought it was Mr. Beard and Alexander who did it.]
The invisible Jack finally appeared: "Haha, of course, gaining great power comes at a price. Don't forget, thanks to your original acrobatic proficiency, you are now the fastest runner in the entire manor."
"Whoa, it's chicken nuggets!" Rough grinned.
"I knew those guys would tell the newbies about my embarrassing nickname!"
Conan almost couldn't hold it in anymore. He could only suppress his laughter and ask Jack for help: "Ahem, chicken... Mr. Jack, I think as the 'old man' of Oletus Manor, you should have the ability to save this painting."
Jack also grinned: "Hahaha, of course I can't. I'm not a supervisor who excels in strength. I'm really sorry."
Conan and Kidd were almost shocked to the ground.
