Chapter 328 Sunflowers of Hellfire (Epilogue)
[Air Force: I remember that Andrew was completely bewildered by Richard's trickery, and in order to fulfill his wish of paying for the tomb in full, he gave Miss Sangria to...]
[Gravekeeper: The letter you sent me said you wanted to bury five people...]
[Prisoner: Have some sense, Andrew! If you had just turned around and hit Richard on the head with a shovel, wouldn't that have been the end of it?]
[Doctor: How come you don't have the courage to beat up the landlord and the cemetery watchman now?]
[Puppeteer: I can only say that Richard is really good at deceiving people.]
[Ms. Farrow: Richard has a real tongue, being able to kill his own parents and get away with it.]
[Fire Investigator: Is there?]
[Noise: Except you. Whoever encounters you will have a mouth full of the taste of burning chemical gas.]
When she heard the criminal plan, Miyadai Natsumi was stunned: "Hahahaha, it seems that I can't quibble."
"So, Ms. Miyadai Natsumi, did you really join my team just to destroy those two sunflowers?" Suzuki Jirokichi asked seriously.
Miyadai Natsumi was desperate at this point and had already started to act recklessly: "That's right, if it weren't for that troublesome guy Kidd, I would have succeeded long ago! Even the phosphine that time was done by me!"
"But there's a plane crash and a fire. You could even die if you do that! Why would you do that?"
"Because I love Van Gogh's Sunflowers so much, fakes like the second and fifth paintings are not worthy of being displayed next to the real ones for people to appreciate!"
[Painter: I @￥%&*! What kind of reason is this!]
[Prisoner: Good man, look how angry we are.]
[Gravekeeper: This is outrageous, even more outrageous than Antonio's cause of death.]
[Violinist: Hey, I'm totally different from her!]
[Painter: I want to curse!]
[Jack: Go ahead and curse me. I see you've been holding it in for quite a while.]
"What are you talking about?" The painter walked forward, veins bulging on his forehead. He gripped the drawing board so tightly that it made a creaking sound.
"Is that the reason? Not to mention that the fifth sunflower painting has been proven to be authentic by numerous papers, the second sunflower painting even survived the war and was finally able to be seen by everyone."
"Um...Mr. Walden, calm down." Inspector Nakamori on the side was frightened by the terrifying aura of the painter.
The painter continued walking forward. "You selfish fellow, you simply preconceived that these two paintings are fakes, and then indulged yourself in the illusion that the 'authentic' works cannot be desecrated."
"You consider yourself a fighter against fakes, a fervent admirer of Van Gogh's Sunflowers... Well, you're not even a fanatic. Everything you do is for your own self-gratification. You think you're destroying fakes that shame the originals, but in reality, you're persecuting true treasures!"
"I, I'm not..." Miyadai Natsumi tried to argue.
"Shut up! When you were on the plane, you chose to detonate the bomb just before landing in order to save yourself. Similarly, in the art museum, you did not stop Kidd from putting out the fire. What you did was a complete farce."
"You are simply... like a reptile that can't escape from the mire after seeing the greatness of a sunflower. You are vulgar, ignorant, and superficial."
"You are not worthy of being called an academic, let alone having the qualifications to love these paintings." The painter stood in front of Miyadai Natsumi and said this with gritted teeth.
At this moment, Miyadai Natsumi saw the painter as if a stream of vibrant oil paints flowed beneath her feet, each hue mocking her as a self-satisfied criminal. A bottle of turpentine tumbled to her feet, instantly igniting a blazing fire. Her struggle within the flames was hideous, as she watched the beautiful sunflowers drift away from her in the sunlight...
"Ah!!!" Miyadai Natsumi collapsed to the ground, covering her head in pain.
Although everyone was shocked by Miyadai Natsumi's sudden collapse, the procedure was still inevitable and Inspector Nakamori handcuffed her hands.
Inside the venue, the stalactite cave was already crumbling. Kidd returned to Conan and said, "Looks like you've got it done here."
Conan looked at the falling rocks and pulled Kidd over: "Hey, if you only take Xiaolan with you, can you escape?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? In this situation..." Kidd was also a little anxious.
Just as the two were arguing, the cave was about to collapse. A large amount of rocks smashed the tubular passage, and several people fell from mid-air. Kidd held Xiaolan, and Xuanxia held Conan.
"It's okay. Although the air pressure here is very low, I can still fly out from the top with only one person." Kidd shouted to Conan from a distance.
Xuanxiao was very calm and said to Conan in his arms: "It's okay, I can also fly with you."
"Then I'll leave Xiaolan in your care!" Conan replied to Kidd first, then looked at Xuanxiang holding him, jumping up on the rocks falling from the sky as if riding on clouds, and exclaimed: "Such an ability is really incredible."
"Don't be too happy too soon. I still need a foothold before I can move. I hope there is a way out on the wall of the cave." Xuanxiao was a little anxious as he looked at the fewer and fewer stones and the increasingly close cave ceiling.
"There's light over there!" Conan said, pointing to a crack.
Xuanxiao immediately flew over and drilled out of the gap, and then the two of them found that there was a mountain wall outside the gap and a mountain stream below.
"Oh! This is troublesome!" Xuanxiao hugged Conan tightly. "Don't move when you touch the water surface. Hide in my body so that you won't be smashed into the mud!"
Conan hugged the carousel decoration around Xuanluo's waist and curled up his small body into a ball. Even so, the huge impact when he entered the water made him feel a little tinnitus.
Just at this moment, the water tower collapsed along with the mountain wall, and the painting of Ashiya sunflowers that had not yet been transported to the warehouse was washed out by the water.
"Phew, there are still people who can come to help us in the water." Xuanhuo lifted Conan onto the floating painting box. "It's not convenient for me to move in the water, so let Miss Grace help you."
Before Conan could thank Noisy, he saw the Fisher Girl (Halberd of Silence) emerging from the water.
"Ah, you are the mermaid!" Conan remembered seeing the fisher girl on Mermaid Island.
The fisher girl nodded, swung her tail to push the painting and Conan forward, and then dived underwater and left before the searchers arrived.
Kidd, who escaped, left Xiaolan in the woods, and was discovered by Kogoro Mouri who came to check the situation. Xiaolan, who woke up, found Conan floating in the river. It can be said that everyone was happy.
Officer Charlie in the woods also learned that Kidd's purpose was just to let the old woman appreciate the Ashiya Sunflowers, so he gave up on arresting Kidd and turned away.
However, on the way back, Conan thought of a question: where did Jack go who disappeared in the fire?
In the small park next to the art gallery, Conan saw a shocking scene. He saw the photographer and Jack bowing to the Dream Witch sitting on a chair, while Darren and Crybaby were eating not far away.
"You guys are making quite a commotion, 'Photographer'. Your Melodi family better not end up in trouble." The Dream Witch was sitting on a chair, trimming her nails.
"I have never forgotten the purpose of coming to the manor, but I don't want to borrow your power. Please forgive me." The photographer replied respectfully.
"What a bummer! I didn't get to see the exhibition, and I couldn't convince you." The Dream Witch stood up. "Darren, let's go home."
Conan stared in amazement as the Dream Witch took Darren and the Crybaby away, but his heart was filled with turmoil: Who is that lady, Darren's mother?
