"Hahaha!!! I knew it! I knew it was like this!"
Upon hearing the words of Kaito Kid, the most excited person was Kira Kanshirou, who never let go of his drink. "That guy! How could that guy possibly create such beautiful work!"
Kira Kanshirou looked crazed and exclaimed, "This is the truth! I knew a long time ago, that useless guy couldn't possibly create such excellent works."
"That's right, he was useless!" Sakurako, who was nearby, sneered at Haruhiko Hanyu, taunting, "The great artist Saburo Hanyu? Just a despicable and disgusting scum!
For money and to avoid exposing the truth, he used the money from selling paintings to buy this mansion.
Then he imprisoned my father just to make him paint more!"
"It's impossible! Uncle would never..."
"Nothing is impossible." Sakurako coldly interrupted Haruhiko Hanyu, "Look at those paintings.
Although the change in style took a long time, if you carefully examine his recent works, you will find that all of Saburo Hanyu's paintings depict the scenery from here. This is the evidence of my father's imprisonment!"
Tears fell from Sakurako's eyes, and she choked with eyes full of deep hatred. "And the reason he released my father was because he completely silenced my father!
And Tomoko Komori is Saburo Hanyu's accomplice, the one who sent my father to a hospital on a remote island."
With Sakurako's words, everyone learned the whole story.
Sakura's father was named Toshiaki Niigata, an unknown painter.
They lived in Hokkaido, and although their days were ordinary, they were very happy. The father often took his wife and children to sketch during holidays.
This was the happiest time for Sakurako... no, for Sakurako Niigata and her mother.
But the good times didn't last. Five years ago, one day, Sakurako's father suddenly said he received an invitation from a famous painter.
After that, her father wouldn't come home for three to five days.
Then, through a phone call, they learned that because her father said he wanted to paint a pond, that painter built a pond for him, followed by a villa surrounded by lavender, and so on.
At first, Sakurako's father was happy, considering his unsociable nature and lack of connections. He had never had the chance to debut, so he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.
In the beginning, they could still contact each other by phone, but later on, there was no contact at all.
Afterward, Sakurako's mother passed away four years ago. Because they were unable to find her father, Sakurako was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and later worked hard to get into university.
She lived in Tokyo under someone else's roof while waiting for news from her father. For this, she even distributed flyers with missing person notices.
During one vacation, someone returned from a trip to Izu and claimed to have encountered someone who looked a lot like her father. Upon receiving the news, she hurriedly went to Hateruma Island.
But when she found the hospital and entered her father's room with the nurse, what caught her eye was an entire "lavender flower field."
Sakurako Niigata recognized it at a glance. Painted on the walls of the entire room was the lavender flower field that her father used to take her to frequently.
According to the nurse, he had completed all the wall paintings in the room alone, but he didn't know who he was. He couldn't even speak, just endlessly painting the lavender flower field.
Seeing her father in this state, Sakurako Niigata couldn't help but shed tears. However, what made her desperate was that even with her in front of him, her father couldn't recognize her.
Later, she suddenly thought that after living under someone else's roof, her appearance had changed a lot—old-fashioned hairstyle, wearing old clothes.
With a glimmer of hope, she changed her hairstyle and wore the white dress she loved as a child, taking her father to the seaside where they used to go sketching with her mother, hoping he could recall something.
But to her disappointment, even in this state, her father still didn't recognize her.
The death of her mother, the state of her father, in a moment of collapse, she didn't know how to live on in the future.
She cried uncontrollably, even falling asleep on a chair on the beach.
When she woke up, what she saw was her father holding sketch paper, looking like he wanted to draw. But even with the tools beside him, he couldn't pick them up and draw.
She was unable to do such a simple thing for her father, Sakurako Niigata felt heartbroken, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.
She quickly set up the drawing board for her father and stood by the seaside like a child, serving as a model for her father.
Standing in place, watching her father draw at an astonishing speed, by the time dawn arrived and the painting was completed, her father, who stopped the pen, had tears continuously flowing from his eyes.
Calling out to her father, she ecstatically rushed over, and what awaited her was her father's warm, large hands and a gentle smile.
But all the beauty is fleeting.
Just like the last glimmer before a person dies, after her father saw her relieved smile, he fainted, and since then, he never woke up again.
A day later, her father passed away.
After that, she became like a walking corpse. After hastily dealing with the funeral on the island, she returned to Tokyo.
At that time, she no longer cared about anything.
But just at this moment, as if by fate, she saw a painting on a street poster.
The lavender flower field painted by her father.
Sakurako Niigata suddenly woke up. When she saw that the artist of the painting was a completely unknown stranger, she realized that her father's death might not be simple.
With this thought, hatred began to grow wildly in her empty heart, quickly filling her inner being.
She returned to Hateruma Island, seeking the help of an elderly nurse and sharing her suspicions.
Hearing her story, the old nurse, moved with pity, agreed to help, hoping that Sakurako could uncover the truth.
So, the old nurse called Tomoko Komori, who had arranged her father's hospitalization, and informed her of the news of Toshiaki Niigata's death. She straightforwardly stated that the person had painted something and wanted it to be sent back.
Upon hearing this news, Tomoko Komori readily agreed to the request, bluntly saying that the hospital could handle the body on its own, showing no trace of sympathy.
This action completely shattered any remaining illusions in Sakurako Niigata's heart. Tomoko Komori was unwilling to handle the aftermath of her father's death but readily accepted his belongings.
Her anger and hatred consumed the last trace of hesitation within her.
She swore to investigate the true circumstances of everything and make everyone who had a hand in her father's death pay the price!
And so, Sakurako Niigata, disguising vengeance as filial duty, began her silent revenge plan, determined to endure and seek justice.
