Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Mr. Oikawa, it's never too late," Conan said in the voice of Mori Kogoro, softly but seriously, "Do you know that there is a reckless high school student who often falls and bumps into things while walking, my disciple Even if you can only see it from the corner of your vision, even if you reach out your hand like a conditioned reflex, you can hold the other person accurately. When he is holding the phone, there is only one light spot in the dark. Will you make a mistake and drop your phone?"

Mao Lilan was surprised, and looked at her father who was sitting against the wall, "Dad, you mean Brother Chi..."

"I think, when he found that the screen of the mobile phone illuminated the neck of the unconscious Mr. Kanbara, he had already realized something was wrong, so he knocked the mobile phone against the wall," Conan said with emotion, "Of course, it's just my Guess, but I don't think someone suddenly attacked him, but he didn't even care about who the other party was and why he attacked him. It's more likely that he had already vaguely guessed who that person was. Mr. Oikawa, from this point of view, in When you found that the light on the phone did not illuminate Mr. Kanbara, if you chose to stop, it was not too late. When your knife pierced Feichi's body, if you chose to confess sincerely, it was not too late. During the entire investigation process , if you choose to tell the police everything, then it’s not too late, and even now, before someone gives you a chance, how can it be too late?”

The famous detective, who became sentimental, made the others silent for a while, and made them silently send Chi Feichi one good person card after another in their hearts.

Kuroba Kaito was a little dazed.

The old man who frightened him with snakes, kidnapped him, and asked him to teach disguise, the man who followed the criminal organization to coerce and lure good people, and the old man who shot him when he disagreed with each other...is it so good?

I always feel that something is wrong, but what the famous detective said makes sense.

It is impossible for Brother Feichi to touch a mobile phone, and it is impossible for Brother Feichi to not pay attention to the person who almost stabbed him in the heart. The bigger possibility is that he already knows all this and still thinks he can give Mr. Oikawa time, or even You can keep silent.

Could it be...he has misunderstood his brother?

"I..." Oikawa Takerai 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 all the time, "I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean it. I tripped over my father-in-law's body and jumped out uncontrollably..."

"If you want to apologize, let's wait until he comes, but before that, Mr. Oikawa, you also misunderstood Mr. Kanbara. When you saw the painting "Blue Lane", didn't you understand?" Conan said slowly, "The way he wants to tell you is to let him finish the painting for you, and he has already finished it."

"This, how is this possible?" When Oikawa Takerai was reminded, he had already vaguely felt that this was true, but he still couldn't believe it. He looked at Kamihara Haruhito who was sitting in front of the window with a look of astonishment, "My father-in-law, his hands are shaking." I can't hold a paintbrush at all."

Conan said in Mori Kogoro's voice, "The mark on his left thumb is left by using the palette for a long time..."

Kamihara Haruhito shrank his left hand on his knee, but stopped again, not covering the circular marks on his fingers.

Kuroba Kaito felt that he should stand up and talk about his previous discovery, facing Takagi Tsutomu's face, and said seriously, "We found a paintbrush with tooth marks in the safe of Mr. Kanbara's room. I miss him It should be biting the paintbrush with your teeth, trying to imitate your style, and painted this "Qing Lan"."

Behind the cabinet, Conan was taken aback, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes.

Open the safe? Seeing that a certain guy couldn't sit still, he still ran over.

Well, let's talk about it after the business is done.

Oikawa Takerai saw the mark on Kamihara Haruhito's finger, and his voice trembled, "Then...then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Kamihara Haruhito sat in front of the window, bowed his head deeply, and sighed, "Even if I imitate it as well, it is still a fake painted by me. If you let others know, it will be your stain. I am thinking about how to make you accept it. , as your teacher, when I was teaching you, I said that no matter what, it is shameful to let others do the painting, but now I want to persuade you to accept it, how can I say such words..."

Mu Mu Thirteen looked at the painting in his hand and said with emotion, "Although it was drawn with teeth biting and the brush strokes are a bit rough, I also like this painting "Qing Lan". It is the same as the previous three paintings, and it contains With a desire to help loved ones."

"how so……"

Oikawa Takerai thought of Kamhara Haruhito imitating his style with his teeth biting the brush, and finished the painting with difficulty little by little. He thought of his mentor and father-in-law who was still worrying about him at an old age, but he still planned to kill him. Qing Ren lost all his strength for a moment, fell to his knees, propped his hands on the floor, tears dripping down like rain, "How could this be..."

"Mr. Oikawa, Mr. Kanbara did not have an accident. Feichi is still young, and he can be alive and kicking if he takes care of his injuries. Do you remember what I just said?" Conan spoke in Kogoro Mori's voice, with mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't help but smiled again, "It's not too late."

He doesn't care whether Chi Feichi is really giving Oikawa Takerai a chance, or just entered the Buddhist state of 'everything is fleeting', the fact is that Chi Feichi may have been preventing the tragedy from happening long ago.

When they didn't realize that the tragedy was brewing, it was Chi Feichi who prevented Mr. Shenyuan from being killed by his only relatives due to a misunderstanding due to a full of concern, and also prevented Mr. Oikawa from killing Relatives, regret for life after learning the truth.

What he said was not wrong, it was Chi Feichi who gave Oikawa Takerai the opportunity of 'it's not too late'.

Because he once had a regret that made him regret it, he felt that this moment of "not too late" was really wonderful, and it also made him feel... how nice his little friend is!

"I..." Oikawa Takerai felt better when he realized that the tragedy hadn't happened yet, he still knelt on the ground, looked up at Haruhito Kanbara, and said loudly, "I'm very sorry!"

"Guilty and remorse are the most terrible emotions. They will accumulate and brew in the heart, and they cannot be escaped like a curse," Kanbara Haruhito sighed, got up and walked in front of Oikawa Takerai, stretched out his hand and patted Oikawa Takerai on the shoulder, After sitting down, he said softly with a serious look, "But Wu Lai, just as Mr. Maori said, everything is in time."

"Father!" Oikawa Takeyori rushed forward, crying bitterly while hugging Kamihara Haruhito.

Kanbara Haruhito sighed again, staring blankly at the door, "It's all over."

Conan felt that it was time to say something to his friends, and he was not in a hurry to give up Kogoro Mori as a temporary tool, and continued to use a voice changer to say, "Mr. Shenyuan, Feichi said that he burned your painting back then, and I apologize to you on his behalf. , but he..."

"No, Mr. Mori, I should actually apologize." Haruhito Kanbara interrupted in a harsh voice.

"What happened back then?" Oikawa Takerai straightened up and couldn't help asking, "You came home distraught that day, covered in grass leaves and mud stains, was it... was that time?"

Haruhito Kanbara nodded, as if he had lost all his strength, bent his back, and sighed, "He is the one who bought that painting, the one with my deceased wife, my daughter who was lying on the hospital bed, and A painting titled "Home" where I and our family of three are on vacation."

Oikawa Takerai was stunned for a moment, his hands began to tremble, "Could it be that the painting he burned? It was the one that you have treasured and hesitated to sell for two years..."

Conan hid behind the cabinet, seeing Oikawa Takerai's eyes wide open and his hands shaking like crazy, he couldn't help sweating.

He didn't know what painting Chi Feichi burned before, but now it seems that he is in big trouble.

That painting seems to be very important to these two people. Seeing Chuan Wulai's excited state now, he has no doubt that if he knew that Chi Feichi had burned this painting, he would put the Tripping and accidentally stabbing Chi Feichi' turned into 'full of anger and stabbing Chi Feichi'.

Wait, he remembered that his uncle had asked Chi Feichi before, if Mr. Shenyuan and Oikawa had any motives, and Chi Feichi said that Mr. Shenyuan was unlikely, but soon remembered something, and suddenly stopped talking.

Chi Feichi's silence may also be a suspicion of Ji Chuan Takeyori's motives. In other words, Chi Feichi really knew some truths, ruled out Mr. Kanbara, and targeted Ji Chuan Takeyori. Maybe the reason for his silence at that time was because Guessing that the knife was because of the burning of the painting...

Mao Lilan and Hui Yuanai bowed their heads silently, and Kuroba Kaito also felt guilty for Chi Feichi.

"That's the painting," Kamihara Haruhito recalled, "that day I learned that the painting sold for a high price, and I was very happy to leave early through the back door, but at the back door I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy standing in the burning In front of the screen..."

"It's too much!" Oikawa Takerui was very angry, "His parents didn't tell him..."

Haibara Ai suddenly raised his head and looked at Kanhara Haruhito.

The name of that painting was "Family", and it depicted a family of three. It must have been a very happy picture, but Brother Feichi was seven or eight years old at that time, and her godmother and uncle Shinosuke had both gone abroad...

Conan, Kuroba Kaito, and Mo Lilan were startled, but they also came to their senses.

They seemed to know the reason why Chi Feichi burned the painting.

"Tell him..." Oikawa Takerai didn't hold back the words for a long time.

What are you talking about? Cherish the fruits of other people's labor? When someone buys a painting, what to do with it is someone else's business, but... Thinking of his wife introducing that painting to him with a happy face before, but the painting was intentionally burned, he felt chest tight and aggrieved!

"I was as angry as you at that time, so I rushed up to question him," Haruhito Kanbara said in a calm tone, but with a look of pain on his face, "Wurai, can you imagine? A child standing alone outside the back door, I rushed up full of anger and asked him what he was doing and why he was doing it."
