Chapter 15: Xiaolan's Invitation
"Shinichi? It's rare! You're going to come back to this home? How? Do you miss your cousin's love for touching your head and killing it? ”
"I miss you! If Xiaolan hadn't entrusted me to come, I wouldn't have come back to take a look at this Kudo house if it was burned down! ”
"Really? Then I think Uncle Yusaku and Aunt Yukiko will be very sad! After all, there are memories of their love here! ”
"Huh! You're disgusting! Forget it, I won't go around in circles with you, it is said that last night there was a medieval armor in the Rice Flower Art Museum that moved on its own! Xiaolan is very interested in this, it just so happens that a few days ago, Xia Jiang and Xiao Wu sent a letter to mention you, it just so happens that you are resting today, so Sister Xiaolan asked me to invite you to visit the Rice Flower Art Museum together! Conan, who opened the refrigerator in the corner of the living room and took out a bottle of juice, explained gloating while unscrewing the lid vigorously.
"Go to the Rice Flower Art Museum to see the medieval armor that walks around? It's just me and Xiaolan, but it doesn't matter! But if you and Uncle Maori are traveling, then I refuse to participate in this event! ”
"Why?"
"Because going out with the two of you won't be good! Didn't you watch the annual drama of the rich family on the passenger ship last time? I couldn't bother to talk about these things every time I went out to the scene before, I could see the two of you! ”
"It was an accident!"
"Huh!"
Looking at Yuichi, who was extremely firm and insisted on not participating in this art museum visit no matter how he explained, thinking of Xiaolan's "sunny" smiling face before his departure, Conan sighed and showed a strange smile on his face.
"Brother Youyi! Are you really not going? ”
"I'm really not going!"
"Really not going?"
"I really won't go!"
"Oh well! In that case, I can't do anything! When the time comes, let Sister Xiaolan come and invite you personally! I still went back to help Uncle Maori repair the door, and in the morning my uncle and I thought that the art museum was boring and didn't want to go! As a result, the door was torn down! Now think about that scene, the little heart is still fluttering! ”
"Sodu Ma fell! Come on, come on, Shinichi! Sit! Really, let's talk about it slowly! What are you saying these things for? As a person who has loved art since childhood, I am also very willing to go to the art museum to cultivate my noble sentiments! Since Xiaolan invited me so enthusiastically, how could I refuse? Don't say it's to bring you and Uncle Maori, even if your little girlfriend and two friends are brought, I don't have an opinion! ”
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! Ayumi and I are not what you think! ”
"I didn't say Ayumi, what are you panicking about? Oh...... I know! Make matters worse by attempting a coverup! Don't worry, I'm your cousin, how could I betray you? Go for it! Brother! I'm optimistic about you, we want a red heart, prepare with both hands! Isn't it? If you change back, marry Xiaolan home. If you can't come back, it's not bad to marry that Ayumi home! Isn't it? ”
"Huh! I'm your sister! Looking at Yuichi laughing unscrupulously, Conan rolled his eyes at a standard dead fish, then turned and left the place he didn't like at all.
"This painting is called Leisurely Angel, it is one of Picasso's masterpieces, although it is not the most famous, but I like the transparency and warm brushstrokes of his painting......"
Looking at Xiao Lan, who was listening to the introduction of these works with relish behind an old man who was said to be the director of this art museum, turned his head and looked at the death duo who were dozing off behind him and full of despair, Yuichi, who still had some impressions of this plot, looked around vigilantly, if he remembered correctly, it looked like a dead person here, and it was related to a painting in this art museum, he couldn't remember who the specific murderer was, as for the unlucky guy who was killed, hehe! Yuichi, who is not interested in the name of the island country, said that he couldn't remember it even more. As for the death of an island countryr, what does it have to do with him, he liked to watch Conan when he was a child, but he just wanted to watch an island country die in one episode of this anime.
Yuichi, who also has no special interest in these so-called arts, looked around the hall of the art museum again, and picked up the juice in his hand a little bored, but just as he was about to take a sip of juice to moisten his throat, a roar of anger almost frightened him to throw the juice out of his hand.
"Kuwada! What are you working on? Didn't I say you had to wear gloves when you picked up your work? If it breaks, will you pay for it? ”
"Ahh Director Ochiai! I'm sorry! ”
"Fuck off! Iijima! You get it! ”
"Ahh Be! ”
Looking at Wata, who was not far away with a resentful face, put the painting in his hand on the ground and turned around to leave the hall, Yuichi, who was about to look for the murder, immediately locked Wakuta in his sight, will this guy kill the old curator because of resentment?
Just when Youyi secretly analyzed the first clue in his heart, a somewhat arrogant voice came from the gate of the art museum, "Is this broken place still like this big cat and two kittens?" ”
"Really...... Boss in the real one? I've received a lot of tourists today, it's just a misfortune that you're here, it's not that there's no one here today, if you ......" Director Ochiai, who had just trained Kuwata to be the same as his grandson, immediately changed his face, walked up to this uninvited guest with a flattering face, and explained with a grovel.
"That's it! Come on! I don't want to hear you say any more useless words, anyway, this art gallery is only 10 days away, and before it is completely transformed into a luxury hotel, these rags will be left to you! Director Ochiai! Designers, look here! I'm going to ......"
"Director Ochiai! What does this mean? Is this art gallery going to close? After the arrogant boss left, Xiaolan, who had heard some of them, couldn't help but run to Director Ochiai's side with concern.
"Yes! Affected by the bubble economy, the previous owner's company went bankrupt, and in order to revitalize the company, he sold the museum to the boss of Manaka. After this bastard took over, he immediately turned his face and said that he wanted to build a big hotel. This 50-year-old museum was ...... in this way."
"Damn!"
"Iijima, don't talk about that! Let's get to work! ”
"Be a long and long!" Just as Conan and the others sighed for the museum, a piercing crash rang out from the other side of the hall.
"Kuwada! How did you do that? Now these things are mine, and even if they are broken, they are still worth some money, so you give me some care, right! Don't think I don't know about that stuff from you, I want you to get your money ready before I take over this place completely! Otherwise, when the time comes...... Hahaha! You'll regret it! ”
"Damn! Bastard! Watching Manaka turn away with a rampant face, Wakuta, who had just lowered his head to pick up the knight's helmet that he had accidentally dropped on the ground, cursed in a low voice and couldn't help but smash the knight's helmet on the ground again.
"Kuwada! You bastard! It's messing around again! Seeing this scene, Director Ochiai and Xiaolan signaled that they would visit at will, and then hurriedly ran over to that side.
"In 10 days, will the Rice Flower Art Museum, which I used to visit as a child, go out of business completely? It's sad to think about! Since it's the last time, be sure to take a good look at it! Looking at Iijima, who was also full of loss and continued to sort out the paintings on the side, Xiaolan sighed and wandered around the museum with her three younger brothers.
