Chapter Twenty-Six: Screaming in the Art Museum
Unexpectedly, Katsumi Uehara, who was actually found in Kogoro Maori's heart, smiled, sent Conan, who was only knee-high, forward, and said: "My name is Katsumi Uehara, I'm sorry Detective Maori, I was too surprised to see you last time, so I talked to my friend about you, and I was entrusted by the Twilight Police Department to send the Edogawa children back." ”
Do you still know each other?
Conan, who had just lived at his childhood sweetheart's house for a short time, secretly looked at the two of them a few times, and muttered a little in his heart.
"Dad, who's coming, client?"
The girl with an apron tied around her waist and long plastic gloves on her hands stepped out of the kitchen, followed the direction from which the movement came, and found Conan, who had returned late, standing next to a strange man.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that this little ghost probably got lost outside, and found the Twilight Police Department to be sent back." Maori Kogoro, who has no image to take care of, glanced at the little ghost next to him who didn't know why he was always a little unpleasant, and explained.
"What? Conan! Really, how many times have I told you not to run around and cause trouble for adults! The tenderness on the girl's face suddenly dissipated without a trace, and she reprimanded the stunned Conan with a straight face.
After expressing the indignation in her heart, the girl politely apologized to Katsumi Uehara: "I'm really sorry, Conan has caused you trouble." ”
Conan, who was criticized for no reason, couldn't say that he was bitter, and he was obviously because of those Italian robbers-
"No, no, no, Mr. Maori may have misunderstood. In fact, Edogawa did us a great favor to the police by catching the Italian robbers on the news with his classmates and helping the bank recover 600 million yen worth of maple leaf coins. ”
Mori Kogoro walked back for a moment, and the concept of "600 million yen" suddenly hovered over his mind-
"What did you say?!"
Five minutes later, after Katsumi Uehara briefly explained the ins and outs, Kogoro Mori squinted at Conan, who looked like a good child.
"Lan, what are you stunned about, serve tea to Officer Uehara."
"Huh? Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Officer Uehara. ”
After hearing about the whole incident, Mao Lilan, who didn't know why he was also in deep thought, suddenly woke up, and took a deep look at Conan, who had no self-knowledge, before preparing to make tea.
Something wasn't right, she still didn't feel right.
This kid ......
From the kidnapping case of the president's daughter last time, she vaguely smelled something wrong, and then to the suicide of Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend last night, Conan was also very active at the scene of the crime, and reminded his father Maori Kogoro several times as if by mistake.
And then to the Italian robbers that the police sent back tonight......
The child she brought back from Dr. Asasa's house, who looked so much like the new one when he was an hour, was too smart.
But...... How can it be?
"No, no, no, don't bother Mr. Maori so much. I don't need to drink tea, I still have a job to do, so I'll quit first. ”
Katsumi Uehara, who noticed Maorilan's eyes, muttered in his heart, and at the same time hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, under the pretext that he still had official business to deal with, so he was able to leave the Maori detective agency.
"Is Maolilan so suspicious of Conan at this time?"
Before getting into the car, Katsumi Uehara glanced up at the sign of the Maori Detective Agency, and recalled with interest the way Maori Lan looked at Conan.
This was a bit of a surprise to him.
But think about it, now that there is no Doraemon and no Osaka black chicken, and Kidd, a monster thief who can be a man and a woman, has not yet come to the rice flower market, it is not impossible for Moriran to suspect that Conan, who behaves differently and has thinking habits that are highly similar to Kudo Shinichi.
The riotous EVO turned on the headlights and slowly merged into the traffic at the intersection, and the horns of the traffic jam came and went-
"Toot! Honk! ”
…………………………………………
"What's so loud?"
Rice Flower Town, inside the Museum of Medieval Art.
The two security guards in charge of the night patrol were conducting their daily routine checks when they suddenly heard a cacophony coming from outside the silent corridor, and they looked at each other and looked at each other.
"It's so late, and there are still people in the museum who haven't left?"
"Thief?"
Two security guards holding their telescopic sticks from their waists turned their flashlights around, illuminating the hallway where the screeching sound was coming from. In the dead of night, the crisp sound of metal clashes is like the music of Western Europe in the Middle Ages.
“…… Who?! Don't play tricks! Come out! ”
The light supported by the flashlight alone was not enough to dispel the fear brought by the environment, and even the security guard, whose vocal cords trembled a little, widened his eyes to remain vigilant, unconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then moved closer to each other, and slowly moved his steps to reach out of the corridor-
Zheng!
The metal armor that suddenly drew the sword looked particularly terrifying under the light of the flashlight in the dark night, and the sudden fear suddenly flooded the hearts of the two security guards like a tide!
"Ah!!!!h
Frightened to the point of almost hoarseness, the screams resounded over the museum on a moonlit night, and Katsumi Uehara, who had to choose a detour due to traffic jams, was still blowing wind through the window on the lonely road, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink after hearing this extremely abrupt scream under the moonlit night, and he stepped on the brakes!
"Help! Help me!! Help me!!! ”
The two security guards who rushed out of the museum like the wind were shocked, and while they were holding their knees with their hands on the side of the road, they gasped for hideous expressions, and at the same time noticed the pink EVO parked on the side of the road, and shouted a warning out of breath: "Run!" Come on!! Don't stay here!! ”
Katsumi Uehara, who frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, but finally sighed, took out the police officer ID card in the pocket of his suit and walked up.
"I'm the police, what's going on?"
Katsumi Uehara, who showed his ID, looked at the exhibition hall shrouded in hazy moonlight not far away, because of the distance and perspective, he couldn't see the signboard from his angle.
"Armor! The armor inside! The medieval armor in this museum moves on its own, and it draws its sword to kill! ”
The two security guards who saw the documents looked at each other, and immediately began to talk about the supernatural events that had just happened in the art museum-
"That sword was only a few centimeters away from our necks at that time, and if we had run a little later, I'm afraid we would have been killed!"
"Medieval armor moves on its own?"
After listening to the passing, Katsumi Uehara's face was obviously a little strange, and even his originally symmetrical eyebrows were twisted into high and low eyebrows because of surprise.
Why is he so familiar with this?
The old man who was still old enough to wear medieval armor, carried a strong man of at least two hundred pounds in one hand and nailed him to the wall with a sword?
