When the group came out of the restroom, they noticed two men in suits, one fat and one thin, who were still at the door.

"Who are those two people?"

Faced with Huiyuan's inquiry, Mitsuhiko gave a simple answer, "They seem to be here to collect the scroll hanging on the wall in the room. It seems very expensive. It is said to be worth..."

Conan continued, "That is the Thunder God painted by a painter in the Edo period. It is worth 20 million."

"Yes, 20 million!"

Listening to the conversation of several people, Lin Jianhe also glanced at the two men who walked up the elevator. Then the group ran downstairs to buy sweet wine.

On the way back, Mitsuhiko suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Ayumi, "But Ayumi, what kind of photo do you want to take?"

"Didn't we take a photo just now?" Genta asked puzzled.

"The photo I want to take is not the one just now," Ayumi didn't seem to want to reveal it, and then said: "Besides, there are no Ai and Jianzuru in the photo just now, that is an incomplete photo."

"Eh? But Lin doesn't like taking pictures." Genta muttered.

Noticing the gaze of the person beside him, Lin Jianzuru coughed lightly: "I can take it this time."

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Huiyuan couldn't help but smile.

It took less than ten minutes, and when they went upstairs again, they ran into the tall and thin man standing at the door at that time.

"Hey? Uncle, why are you still here?"

Several children looked at the man in confusion. Mr. Mie paused for a moment and then said, "I left my cell phone in the living room just now. I wanted to pick it up in the evening, but it would be bad if I missed an important call."

"But the family seems to have gone out. No one answered the doorbell when I rang it just now."

Just asked a few children to buy sweet wine, but now they are out. Obviously, several people in the detective team are very confused. So a group of people followed Mr. Mie to the front door and rang the doorbell again.

Mitsuhiko pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one answered. Ayumi went forward and pulled down the door handle. After finding that the door was not locked, everyone walked in.

"Grandma, are you asleep?"

A group of people came to the living room, and there was a sound of a fax machine operating behind the door. After opening the door, a strong wind blew. Behind the fluttering curtains, the fax machine was printing out information one by one. In the living room, whether it was the table or the cabinet, there were obvious signs of being rummaged, and books were scattered all over the floor.

Lin Jianhe on the other side walked to the bedroom and said, "There's something wrong here too." Looking at the mess in the bedroom, Lin Jianhe frowned slightly.

"This should be a break-in."

Hearing this, Ayumi ran to the room where the dolls were placed in a hurry. After opening the door, the dolls were still neatly placed there. Ayumi just breathed a sigh of relief, and Conan suddenly said, "The painting is gone."

The place where the portrait of Thunder God was originally hung was now empty, and only the traces left by the accumulated days and months remained on the wall.

"Did the placement of the doll also change its position?" Lin Jianhe looked at the arranged Doll Festival doll and said thoughtfully.

Although she usually has a good memory, because she will buy dolls to put at home, she paid attention to the order of the dolls when Ayumi placed them.

She pointed at the two dolls of the Emperor and the Empress at the top, "At first, Ayumi placed the Emperor on the left and the Empress on the right, but now the order is reversed."

"Yes! I didn't place them like that." Ayumi also noticed the change in the dolls.

"I noticed this just now, look at this." Conan asked Ayumi to bring the digital camera that had been used to take the photo, and the photo did show that the placement of the two dolls was different from now.

"In fact, the placement of the Emperor on the right and the Empress on the left is a relatively old one. Most of the current placements are the opposite, and there is something very wrong with that living room..."

At this time, the mother-in-law and Mrs. Kanno also returned home. The mother-in-law went downstairs to the convenience store because she found that there was no white sugar at home, and she wanted to come back with the children. Mrs. Kanno forgot to bring her wallet when she went out, so she went back to get her wallet.

When she saw that the house was searched in a mess, Mrs. Kanno couldn't help screaming. After hearing her scream, Mr. Jinqu, who was waiting outside for the appraiser Mr. Mie, also opened his mouth

The police arrived and quickly determined that this was a burglary. After investigation, the police thought that the thief should have climbed in through the window of the balcony in the living room. Seeing this group of people playing the game of catching thieves here, Lin Jianhe walked into the next room with some boredom. She put her hands in her trouser pockets and looked around. "What are you doing here?" Huiyuan also followed. She looked at the messy marks on the ground and walked to the drawer of the wardrobe. "Look, if it was a simple burglary, it shouldn't be that the wallet was not taken, right? And the messy marks in this room are too deliberate." "So, I don't have any impression of the painting, but if this thief is an impromptu burglary, it's hard to see the value of the painting, right?" Huiyuan Ai thought about it. If Conan and the others hadn't just relayed the value of the painting, she wouldn't have thought that the painting would be so expensive. "That's the reason." On the other hand, because the order of the dolls was wrong, the children concluded that the thief must be someone who didn't know the order of the dolls. As the hostess of the house, Mrs. Kanno and her mother-in-law, as well as the appraiser Mr. Mie, all knew the order in which the dolls were placed. Mr. Tsukuro had no idea about this, and he happened to come for this painting, so he naturally became the number one suspect.

Just after the police took Mr. Tsukuro away, Conan, who had been standing in front of the dolls thinking, suddenly woke up after a word from Ayumi.

As soon as Hayashi Jianhe and Huiyuan Ai came out of the next bedroom, they saw Ayumi running hurriedly to the entrance.

Huiyuan seemed to see the girl's worries in her eyes, and while walking towards the entrance, she said to Hayashi Jianhe: "Leave the things here to that detective."

As soon as the two reached the top of the building, the elevator door opened, and Ayumi ran out panting, looking at the red sunset shining through the glass, with an anxious expression.

"So you're waiting for the sunset."

Hearing Huibara's voice, Ayumi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huibara leaning against the wall, staring at the sunset in the distance, while Lin Jianzuru was sitting on the first step of the stairs, and seemed to find it a little dazzling, so he raised his hand to block it slightly.

"Ai, Jianzuru..."

"This is quite your style, I like this feeling."

"It's quite beautiful."

Getting the affirmation of the two, Ayumi couldn't help but feel happy, "Really?"
