Chapter 426 Cleaning
"Yeah." Conan nodded in agreement.

This guy actually wanted to hurt Xiaolan, and he even hit her in the face. This behavior is really bad.

Fortunately, he didn't succeed.

But even so, Conan felt a little angry and couldn't help but want to walk over and kick him a few times.

However, Conan looked up at Xiaolan and gave up the idea.

Conan didn't want to attack an unconscious person in front of Xiaolan, even if that person was a bad guy.

Because doing so will leave a bad impression on Xiaolan.

Although the impression Conan left on Xiaolan was not very good...he was a complete naughty kid.

This is still the impression from before.

As for now, Xiaolan's impression of Conan is... a big pig who disguises himself as a child, takes advantage of her, and dares not admit it!
This impression is even worse than the "naughty kid" impression that Conan left on Xiaolan before.

Xiaolan looked at Kaneto who was lying on the ground, raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and her slightly solemn expression relaxed.

Just then, Uncle Maori came late. He stood in the corridor, stretched his neck and looked at everything in the room.

Xiaolan, who was blocking the door, quickly moved aside and Uncle Maori walked in.

He looked at Kaneto lying on the ground and the corpse beside him with a surprised expression.

"What's going on here?"

Uncle Maori walked to the body, frowned, observed it carefully, then compared it with the ashtray on the ground and came to a conclusion.

"Is this woman the illustrator Chou Ye? She looks like she was killed by an ashtray."

"And this bearded man, judging by the wounds on his face..."

"He was knocked out by karate."

Uncle Maori turned around, looked at Xiaolan, and asked hesitantly, "Xiaolan, was it you who did it?"

"Yes." Xiaolan nodded and admitted it directly, saying: "This man should be the teacher 'Kaneto' who asked you to meet in the painting club. When I just broke into the room, Miss Chono's body was already lying on the ground."

"Kaneto even tried to attack me, but I beat him down... Well, it seems Xiaoyu also helped?"

Xiaolan glanced at Kaneto's right knee, where there was a trace of blood seeping out, staining the trouser leg red.

It seems that Ze Yu did not hold back.

That kick must have taken a lot of strength.

"Is that so?" Uncle Maori suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "It seems that Dieye was killed by him."

"Let's call the police first." Ze Yu said quietly.

"Xiao Yu, you said before that Kaneto is a scumbag." Conan suddenly asked: "It shouldn't just be because he wanted to attack Sister Xiaolan's face? Is there another reason?"

After Xiaolan and Sawaha worked together to defeat Kaneto, Conan thought about it carefully and found it a little strange.

Kaneto and Chouno are painters in the same painting club and should be acquaintances of each other. When Conan discovered them, they were in the same room.

However, the female Chouno is already dead, and her killer is obviously the male Kaneto.

No matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

Is it murder for love?

"Yeah." Ze Yu nodded slightly and said, "This guy is really a scumbag."

"You will know when the police investigation results come out."

.........

Uncle Maori called the police.

After a while, Inspector Megure came over with a group of police officers in a very skillful manner.

The members of the painting club also came along. When they found out that Kaneto had killed Chono, they were all in a daze and found it hard to believe. But the facts were right in front of them, so they had to believe it.

In the end, after the revelations of the painting club members, the police investigation, and Ze Yu's reminder...

Even though Kaneto, the person involved, has not yet woken up, Inspector Megure knows the general course of events.

This matter from beginning to end is probably...

Chou Ye is Kaneto's lover.

Among the art collections published by Kaneto, many of the paintings were drawn with the help of Chou Ye. She added a special mark to these paintings, making them easily identifiable.

This detail was revealed by Ze Yu.

As for what happened afterwards, Inspector Megure could easily imagine it in his mind.

It must be Kaneto who discovered this matter. In order to avoid his deeds being exposed and thus ruining his reputation, he killed Chouno.

After all, for a painter, if most of his paintings were painted by others, and this matter was exposed...

Well, that painter has no chance of success.

It is normal for Kaneto to kill someone impulsively in a desperate situation in order to protect his reputation.

At least, for the Conan world where cases occur frequently, this is a normal reason for murder.

Compared with a lot of other outrageous reasons for murder, Kaneto's reason for murder is quite normal.

At least it makes sense logically.

"No wonder Xiaoyu said he was a scumbag."

When the dust settled, Conan thought to himself in agreement: "This guy is really a scumbag."

Kaneto asked his lover to help him paint, and in order to avoid being exposed, he killed the other person...

Isn't this like killing the donkey after it has done its job?

There is no doubt that Kaneto is a complete scumbag. If Sonoko, who hates scumbags, knew about this...

She might just go up and punch Kaneto, who was still unconscious.

Let this scumbag know how terrible women are.

.........

Time flies, and it’s the weekend in the blink of an eye.

After cleaning up the Mouri Detective Agency, Xiaolan felt bored and had nothing to do, so she decided to help her childhood sweetheart clean the house.

Kudo Shinichi's house has been abandoned for too long. It is obviously a very luxurious house, but now it is almost becoming a haunted house.

The house is full of spider silk, and I don’t know how many cockroaches and rats there are…

Conan had no intention of cleaning up the house and just let it remain abandoned.

He no longer lived there anyway.

But Conan was not in the mood to clean the house, but his future girlfriend, Ran, was in a good mood.

Xiaolan was worried that she couldn't clean the whole house by herself, so she asked Sonoko, Conan, and Sawaha to help.

After all, Shinichi's house is quite big, and no matter how powerful Xiaolan is, she is just one person.

There are only two days in the weekend, and Xiaolan doesn't have the confidence to clean the whole house by herself, so she has to look for help.

Xiaolan took the key to Kudo Shinichi's house from Dr. Agasa, then opened the door and walked into Shinichi's house with everyone.

It is worth mentioning that Ze Yu brought Haibara Ai along.
