On the street, people hurriedly searched for shelter from the rain. Maple Leaf Villa, once the residence of a prominent local family, had seen better days, yet remnants of its former glory remained. On the night of the incident, the villa's owner, the renowned painter Mingye, in his sixties, was found dead in his study. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, appearing to be a natural death at first glance, but an unusual atmosphere at the scene raised the police's suspicions.
Upon arrival, the Detective Silence began a thorough investigation. The study appeared orderly, except for Mingye's fallen figure and an unfinished painting on the desk; there were no obvious signs of struggle or conflict. However, as Silence's gaze swept across the walls of the study, she noticed a subtle anomaly—a tile slightly protruding from the wall, seemingly out of place.
Carefully removing the tile, Silence discovered a hidden mechanism behind it. As she activated it, what seemed like an ordinary wall slowly slid open to reveal a narrow secret chamber. Inside lay an old computer quietly resting on a desk, its screen flickering with faint light as if it had just been used.
After an initial examination by technicians, it was revealed that the computer contained a wealth of private information about Mingye and email correspondence with several mysterious individuals. More shockingly, it housed a complex remote control system aimed at some electronic device within the study.
Silence realized that this case was far more complicated than it appeared. She immediately organized her team to delve deeper into the data on the computer while also retrieving Mingye's recent call logs and social media activity records in search of breakthroughs.
After working tirelessly through the night, a clear lead began to emerge. It turned out that Mingye had recently become embroiled in a conspiracy involving art transactions; he possessed an unpublished ancient painting that had become a focal point for various factions vying for control. The remote control system on the computer was designed by one of these factions as part of a trap to seize the painting.
What puzzled Silence was why the murderer would choose such a complex and high-risk method to commit the crime. Was it merely to avoid direct confrontation and leave evidence behind? She understood that there must be deeper motives and schemes at play.
Determined to uncover the truth, Silence decided to infiltrate enemy territory and confront those lurking in the shadows. Using her intelligence and courage, she skillfully navigated between various factions, gradually revealing the full extent of the conspiracy.
It turned out that the true mastermind was Mingye's distant relative, Yutaro. Yutaro had long coveted the family inheritance, particularly that unpublished ancient painting which he believed rightfully belonged to him. To obtain it, he hired skilled hackers and devised this elaborate scheme involving remote control manipulation. He exploited Mingye's reliance on electronic devices to create a series of illusions that ultimately triggered Mingye's heart attack.
However, justice would not be evaded. With her keen intuition and relentless effort, Silence ultimately apprehended Yutaro and his accomplices. Faced with irrefutable evidence, they had no choice but to bow their heads in defeat.
Though the case was solved, Silence felt an unsettling calm within her. She knew that in this complex and ever-changing world, the battle between crime and justice would never cease. As a Master Detective, her mission was to protect peace and justice in this land using her wisdom and courage.
After the rain in Tokyo, the air felt particularly fresh. Silence stood before Maple Leaf Villa, gazing at the mist gradually dissipating in the distance.
With Yutaro captured, the mystery surrounding that unpublished ancient painting began to unravel. The painting was titled Autumn Maple Twilight and had been passed down through generations of the Yamane Family—not only for its immense artistic value but also because it concealed secrets about their family's rise and fall.
Upon further investigation, Silence discovered that Autumn Maple Twilight was not merely a landscape painting; it hid clues leading to an ancient family treasure said to have the power to change their fate entirely—thus attracting countless greedy eyes. Yutaro had gone to great lengths to orchestrate this murder for that treasure.
Yet Silence chose not to disclose this discovery publicly. She understood that revealing such secrets would only invite more conflict and bloodshed. Therefore, she decided to collaborate with other members of the Yamane Family to safeguard this legacy while seeking an appropriate moment to unveil it for societal benefit.
