After Cugu Mai said this, she looked at the old man nearest to her.

"Because my brother likes to draw, you think he has no future as your grandson. In order to force him to choose to be the person you want him to be, you cut off his financial resources."

"But you didn't expect that my brother would successfully open an art exhibition by relying on his own abilities, so you sent someone to destroy his art exhibition because you couldn't bear to lose face."

Cuckoo Tatsuo's expression froze when Cuckoo Mai looked at him, but judging from his angry and bruised face, it was hard to see that he felt that he had done something wrong because of this.

Not caring about her grandfather's expression, Cugu Mai raised her eyes and looked at the housekeeper again.

"Because your son slipped and fell into the water while traveling with his companions. All your son's friends ran away, and my brother was sketching nearby when he heard the sound. He went to save people but it was too late. So you went to his school and spread the word that my brother was dead. If he doesn’t save him, he will drop out of school.”

Ignoring the housekeeper's hesitation, she looked at the woman standing in the room who was glaring at her.

"And you, I know, my brother found out that you kept a pretty boy outside, so you always hold a grudge against him."

"You!" The woman who was held down by Mouri Kogoro turned pale after hearing this, as if she wanted to defend something. Her lips trembled for a moment, but she did not speak.

Cugu Mai's eyes shifted again, and she fell on the maid.

His mouth moved for a moment, but he still said nothing and turned his head.

At that time, Cugu Tatsuya was depressed and committed suicide several times. The maid watched with cold eyes. The day before her brother disappeared, she saw Cugu Tatsuya being abused by his stepmother.

Finally, I closed the room with my own hands.

Cugu Mai looked at the people in front of her, "I just want them to tell where my brother died."

It's a pity that she didn't get those people to confess by pretending to be a ghost, but instead attracted a bunch of detectives.

Mouri Kogoro was silent for a moment, "I'm very sorry about your brother, but..."

"What about you?" Cugu Mai interrupted Mouri Kogoro's words. She stared at Mouri Kogoro's face that had appeared in public several times.

"Since you have exposed me, Mr. Mouri Kogoro, the sleeping famous detective, can you help me find my brother?"

"I..." Mouri Kogoro was stunned.

what to do? Someone named me and I was rushed to put it on the shelves. I had to wait online in a hurry.

Just the next second, there was a sudden pain in the back of his neck, and his body suddenly became uncontrollable.

Stumbling and starting to back up, Mouri Kogoro spun around and sat on the ground, his hands hanging on his legs, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Conan stepped forward quickly and put his hand on Mouri Kogoro's clothes. The next second, he put a button-shaped loudspeaker on Moori Kogoro's collar.

The moment he turned his back to everyone, he picked up the bow tie that was on him.

"I'm fine, Conan. I just suddenly knew where that person was, so I felt a little melancholy for a moment."

Mouri Kogoro's voice came out, and Conan walked to a corner as if there was no one around.

Among the crowd at the door, a figure followed Conan's gaze, with a calm expression.

……

restaurant.

Xiaolan, who was stopped by Fuchuan Meihui, took the opportunity to chat with Fuchuan Meihui for a long time.

Thinking of Ai Tanihara whom she hadn't seen for a while, Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

Tomikawa Mie, who was originally happy because she could live with an angel, thought about it for a few seconds under Xiaolan's reminder.

It seems that someone in the organization has seen Xueshu recently, but I heard that Xueshu has not been in good spirits recently. He often looks at a place in the air as if he is talking to the air.

However, people who are capable of such things as torture and murder are never in good spirits. Moreover, no one will believe the information on the dark web if it is true or false.

And she naturally didn't believe it.

In her opinion, that little lunatic who was acting silly all day long could live longer.

"If Tanihara wasn't here, she would have gone on a trip. I heard her talk about it some time ago." Fikawa Mie responded with a smile.

The faint sound of running in the room on the second floor made Fikawa Mie glance at her, but she quickly withdrew her gaze.

She has never been very interested in things other than Xiaolan and Shinichi.

"I heard from Tanihara that you were with the boy at the garden party before?"

"Ah?" Xiaolan's face turned red for a moment.

Although she didn't know why Tanihara Ai told this matter, she still blushed and nodded.

"Ah."

"You will definitely be a good match."

"Thank you." Xiaolan responded with a smile.

The second floor.

Several people came to the room where two people had hanged themselves.

Hattori Heiji wrapped the pile of wooden boards and ropes in the corner around the ropes according to the placement of the nails. He placed the wooden boards in the middle of the ropes and made a simple aerial ladder.

After Hattori Heiji had prepared these things, he pulled the rope in his hand, and the hanging ladder that had just existed was retracted directly to the ceiling. If several people hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have paid attention to what was above their heads.

As soon as the rope was loosened, Hattori Heiji stepped on the suspended wooden boards to the top, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the wooden board above his head that could be deliberately cut open.

The sun has already emerged, announcing the arrival of the next day.

The originally abandoned attic was covered with a veil of light by nature.

With the sound of creaking footsteps, everyone walked up.

Looking up, they could see old papers everywhere being blown up by the wind.

A painting appeared in every corner of the attic, and the most beautiful thing in the painting was the warm sunshine when looking out the window from here.

The body hanging in the attic was swaying gently with the wind blowing from the window, casting the final shadow on the attic.

The moment Cugu Mai saw the corpse, her expression that could still be maintained completely collapsed at this moment.

Until now, the truth of this place that has been silent for many years has finally been revealed after the appearance of a few people.

Cuckoo Da, who wanted to escape reality in the past, also noticed the layout of this room and found this place.

He created this secret location alone that only he knew, and he would create in this room whenever he was in a bad mood.

He looked at everything outside the window and often imagined his future life.

When his sister, who had always supported him, saw his first painting, she placed it in the entrance hall of her home.

There were many famous paintings in the entrance hall, but this painting was a bit inconspicuous. However, the moment he saw his sister's smile, he found the meaning of painting.

But later, when his sister went to study abroad, his paintings were taken down and burned by his grandfather. After accidentally meeting his cheating stepmother, his life fell to the bottom in an instant.

His father, who was often away from home, could not notice him.

The art exhibition was destroyed, rumors were spread, expelled from school, beaten...

In the end, he chose to commit suicide in the very place where he had always been.

And this is also the beginning of tragedy.

Hisao Cugu and his friend Noboru Naoda happened to be back home that day.

Not seeing his son, he asked the servant in the direction where he last saw his son and searched from room to room. Finally, the two of them saw the hanging ladder that had not been hidden.

Just as he was walking up to take a look, Hisao Cuckoo's feet slipped, and his head was wrapped around the ropes that were made into loops just to fix the wooden boards.

The friend who was originally holding the rope because the ladder was unstable was about to rescue him when he saw this, but both of them were strangled to death in this accident.

Planks of wood were scattered on the ground next to the bodies of the two men.

When the police arrived, they only saw two stiff bodies and the ropes still clutched in their hands.

At this point, the tragedy is complete.

As Cugu Tatsuya's body was put down, Cugu Mai also threw herself on the body and cried bitterly.

Conan looked up at the three people who followed him upstairs, but he only saw the happiness in their eyes.

I'm glad that I don't have a grandson to bring trouble to me. I'm glad that my son's revenge has been avenged. I'm glad that the abuse and beating of this child will not be revealed again.

Conan turned his head, and there was a painting closest to him next to him.

The person in the painting looks at the light outside the window, as if he can reach it if he reaches out.

But in the end, that person just looked at the scenery outside the window.

Haven't set foot yet.

There was yearning in his eyes.
