"Since you knew the criminal's plan a long time ago, why didn't you stop it in advance?" Conan complained to Kidd.
Kidd was also helpless: "I just secretly copied the criminal plan from the criminal's computer. I was afraid that the criminal had accomplices. I originally wanted to stop the man from cutting off the power, but Officer Charlie found me halfway and he chased me everywhere."
"At first I thought that as long as I gave the warning letter with the coded code to someone, that person would be able to deal with the criminal for me." Kid also lightly complained about Conan's slow action in solving the case this time.
"I'm really sorry." Conan then turned to look at the noise. "Then how did Brother Mike get here?"
"Actually, Eli's prophecy said that the sunflowers would burn in the flames of hell, and Fiona wanted someone to go over and see what was going on, so I volunteered to come. I actually squeezed out the spot of a certain arsonist." Xuanxiao looked quite happy.
Conan showed his half-moon eyes: "The arsonist, I mean Brother Florian."
"Yes, while it's fine to let him save the paintings, as for other things... this stalactite cave will probably become a high-risk area for accidents under his operation."
[Fire Investigator: Hehe, Norton, lend me some detonators so I can blow up this hole.]
[Explorer: You want to change your career?]
[Ms. Farrow: Don't listen to him. Just don't give it to him. He's just trying to make trouble all the time.]
[Puppet Master: Isn't it better to just stay at home?]
Kidd walked to a trap he had set up in advance, took out his magic props from a small box, and handed the megaphone to Conan: "Okay, I'll go to the front to see if the escape elevator is still usable. You can take this opportunity to expose the criminal."
"I see."
"If the criminal plays any tricks, it will be troublesome." Kidd changed into his classic equipment, turned around and ran away.
Xuanxiao covered Xiaolan with his star streamer and said, "This has a heat preservation function. It was originally used to hide my fireworks props. Please help Miss Xiaolan warm herself up first, so that she won't catch a cold."
Conan looked at Xuanxiao with gratitude and began to quickly deduce the whole story.
Outside, a group of people ran to the place where the sunflower paintings were stored. After counting, they found that one painting was missing. The missing painting was the second sunflower.
Just as everyone was surprised, Conan used Kudo Shinichi's voice to convey a message to everyone present through the headset: "Please don't worry, Ashiya Himawari has just been safely placed in a fireproof and waterproof box."
"That voice, are you Kudo Shinichi?"
Maori Kogoro complained: "Why are you here again, kid? What are you doing in there?"
"Don't say that, listen to me first." Conan was a little helpless about Maori Kogoro's complaints. "At least I saved this second sunflower from the traitor Judas who was hiding among the crowd, and there is also the fifth sunflower."
"So there is a traitor among us!" Suzuki Jirokichi's eyes swept over everyone.
At this time, Higashi Yukiji had already been taken away by Inspector Megure, and no one knew who among the remaining people would be the traitor Judas.
Conan then said, "It doesn't matter. I already know who Judas is."
"But, we just arrested Tou Yukiji?" Inspector Nakamori was a little confused.
The painter looked at Jack, who had already disappeared outside the warehouse, and explained, "No, Mr. Dong is not a traitor. We all see his dedication to famous paintings. He loves sunflowers so much and hopes that Ashiya Sunflower can return to Japan, so he would never do such a thing."
"That's right. Mr. Higashi Koji had absolutely no motive to burn the paintings. If he really wanted to, he would have done so in Arles," Officer Charlie agreed. "Besides, he was still talking to everyone in front of the monitor when the fire started."
"Yeah, how could there be a traitor among us?"
"That's right, you can't trust what a thief like Kaito Kid says."
The rest of the crowd was discussing this, and Miyadai Natsumi also sighed, "That's right, we should be thankful that Sunflower is safe now."
"Are you really speaking the truth, Ms. Miyadai Natsumi?" A questioning voice came from the headset.
"Miss Xia Mei's goal is to destroy the second and fifth sunflowers."
The painter's gaze immediately turned to Miyadai Natsumi: "Is this true? Do you want to destroy such a masterpiece?"
"Please don't listen to his nonsense. Why would I do that?" Miyadai Natsumi explained with gritted teeth.
"Okay then, let's verify it step by step."
"Because Kaito Kidd caused a disturbance at the auction venue, security was heightened, making it difficult for you to easily attack Sunflower. So you gave up the idea of destroying the painting in the United States. Instead, you bribed the technician while the painting was in transit and had him plant a bomb on the plane."
"You wanted to destroy the painting this way, but Kaito Kidd saw through your plan again and rescued the painting from the plane."
"Then you shifted your target from the second to the fifth. Kidd, having already noticed this, immediately sent a warning letter to the Maori Detective Agency, raising everyone's vigilance once again."
"Having failed twice, you decided to strike first. When you were moving the painting, you put a Kidd card on the lid of the box, hoping to use it as an opportunity to transfer the painting to your own studio."
Inspector Nakamori was a little surprised: "So, it was Kidd's interference that prevented her plan from succeeding."
"You're talking nonsense. This is just your conjecture. There is no evidence at all!" Miyadai Natsumi scolded angrily.
"Well, although I still don't know why you want to destroy those two paintings, let's get to the point." Conan continued his reasoning. "Excuse me, Ms. Miyadai Natsumi, was it your suggestion to lay a sunflower bed in the tubular passage of the art museum?"
"Yes, it is."
"You exploited your position to pour turpentine, commonly used for painting restoration, from the top layer into the groove where the sunflowers were placed, turning the flowerbed into a fuse. There must be someone here who understands the effects of this substance better than I do, right, Mr. Walden?"
The painter was stunned for a moment before nodding. "That's right. Although turpentine is often used to restore paintings, it is a volatile, flammable liquid that produces a lot of thick smoke when burned."
In fact, it was Noisy who told Conan this: "Mr. Walden is a painter who loves painting very much. He knows a lot about these things."
After hearing this reasoning, Miyadai Natsumi became a little impatient: "Even so, you can't say that I am the traitor. Maybe someone else took advantage of my suggestion!"
"Is that so? I was hoping you would turn yourself in. Since you need more concrete evidence, I'll get it out later. It seems that your computer also contains the criminal plan for destroying the two sunflower paintings."
[Jack: Seriously, this guy is so stupid that he would leave evidence on his computer after committing a crime?]
[Philanthropist: Artists may think differently from us.]
[Painter: Who are you talking about?]
[Puppeteer: Well, that's the point... Look at the experiment in Group A, the third group. Are there any normal people there?]
[Gravekeeper: It seems not...]
[Knight: I haven't even started yet, and one of you got high and sent yourself away, while the other one got drunk and turned into a wheel and killed someone.]
[Violinist: ...]
[Broken Wheel:......]
[Gravekeeper: I shouldn't have believed you!]
