Kaedehara and Gray Yuan first went to a nearby discounted butcher shop to buy meat, and then went to the supermarket to buy other ingredients.

By the time they returned to the doctor's house, the room had been cleaned up, and the pot for the curry had been cleaned and ready to go.

Yuan Tai also took the initiative to come over to help carry things, although he knew that his appearance would not last long, but this still made Gray Yuan's anger disappear a lot.

Of course, the main reason is that Ayumi not only seems to be fine, but also in a very good mood.

She was wearing gray plain clothes, and from time to time she secretly pulled the collar to her nose and sniffed, looking drunk and shy.

The next step is to remake the curry. Kaedehara was in charge of the chopping part, and after showing off a wave of knife skills he had learned in Hawaii, Kaedehara pulled the doctor aside when everyone was busy.

"Doctor," he asked in a low voice, "when I wasn't at home with Ash Yuan for the past two days, someone I didn't know came to the house, right?" ”

"Yes, yes... How do you know? ”

"It's slippers, usually only the doctor in the house you use adult slippers, but I noticed that you put a few pairs of spare..."

"Ahh

"This means that not only have people been here, but you think it's likely that someone will come..."Kaedehara continued, "I think it's because of the person who watched the pot in the video, so I didn't pay attention to it before..."

"yes, I watched the video from that video site, and three groups of people have been here..."The doctor replied, "What's wrong?" ”

Kaedehara glanced at Ai Ashbara, who was cooking curry with Ayumi, and Conan, who was still sitting on the ground using the computer to analyze, "When I just went out, I noticed that someone was staring here. ”

"Star, stare here!"

"Be quiet, Doctor..."

"W-It can't be those guys, right?" The doctor worried.

"Probably not, they should have noticed that I went out with Grayplain, but instead of following, they continued to stare here..."

Kaedehara paused, "So if they're targeting people, then the target is the doctor, you're right..."

"Huh? This—" The doctor rubbed his head embarrassedly, "So I'm already that famous?" ”

“……”

"Uh... Isn't it? ”

"If the target is you, Doctor, you should do it to you while I and Gray Yuan go to school, or I don't care about children like me and Gray Yuan at all..."

"This, so, then they-"

Kaedehara glanced over to Conan. Now Motota and Mitsuhiko, who have nothing to do, are on the side to help Conan with ideas.

The Doctor immediately realized, "My pot! ”

"Hmm. The other person only appeared around after we posted the video, so it is indeed possible. Then again, doctor, what's going on with those three groups? ”

Kaedehara was asking, and Ashbara didn't need to keep looking at the curry for the time being, and noticed that Kaedehara and the doctor were talking about something and walked over.

Kaedehara didn't want to hide it from her.

The Doctor didn't notice at all, but remembered.

"Well, I think about it... The first group consisted of two young sisters who looked at the pot for a while, knocked it a few times, and asked me to sell it to them for 5,000 yen. ”

"Didn't you sell it directly?" Ash Yuan walked up to Kaedehara's side, just in time to hear the doctor's words, "Kudo said that the pot is not important..."

"It's not that important, five thousand yuan is too little..."Kaedehara said, "And I shouldn't have said that at the time..."

"yes, and they don't know much at first glance! When I asked them, they said, "We don't know much about it, but it's not bad to buy a vase for 5,000 yen." I asked them to take a closer look, but they said their feet were numb, so they went back. ”

"So you're just here to join in the fun?" Gray Yuan said, a little curious, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

Kaedehara explained.

Compared to what they had encountered, the incident that seemed to be just a preparation for theft was really nothing, and Gray Yuan Wai was not too worried.

"What's next?"

"Then came a middle-aged couple who hadn't touched the pot at all... They just looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass ... Said that this could be a very valuable pot, and persuaded me to take the pot for formal appraisal! He also told me that there might be people who wanted to buy it at a low price, and told me that it was better not to show the pot to too many people. ”

"Is the pot on the carpet?"

"yes, right on top of that carpet. I think it looks a little more advanced! ”

"Didn't they make an offer?" Gray Yuan said curiously.

"yes... After saying that, they left..."

"Oh... And what about the third group? Kaedehara asked.

"A very impolite father and son!"

"They just touched the pot a little bit, and when they looked inside it, the son smiled and asked me how much it was worth!" I felt very unhappy, so I casually said [500,000 words will be sold to you, and the carpet will also be included]! ”

“……”

"Then the father smiled wryly and said I was joking... The son also laughed and said that it was sad for people who had no vision, and I was so angry that I drove them away! ”

“… Rejoice, Doctor. ”

Because he hadn't told the doctor about the carpet yet, Kaedehara himself was a little lucky, "I think this father and son are not bad." ”

"Hey, that's too much..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because—"

"Doctor!" As he spoke, Conan stood up from the carpet with a confident face and interrupted Kaedehara's words, "I see! ”

"We know!" Yuan Tai corrected.

"W-What?"

"This carpet could be a Persian carpet!" Mitsuhiko said.

"Persian carpet!?"

"Oh... No wonder Mr. Detective said that the father and son were not bad," Gray Yuan looked at Kaedehara with his arms crossed, "Some Persian carpets can easily exceed 10 million yen..."

The father and son had the opportunity to spend 500,000 yen to take tens of millions of things from the doctor, but they didn't do it.

"One, ten million!?" The Doctor was shocked.

"yes." Conan said, "We compared the weaving method with the pattern arrangement and pattern, and combined with the texture, it is very likely that this old carpet of yours is a Persian carpet..."

That's why Kaedehara said it didn't matter...

It was also because of this sentence that he took his attention away from the pot and shifted his attention to the carpet beneath the pot.

Hearing Conan's words, the Doctor ran to the carpet and stroked it. Ayumi, who was watching from the curry pot, also came over curiously and admired the valuable carpet.

"One, ten million..."

The doctor repeated it again before he came back to his senses, and urged Conan and the others, who were still standing on the carpet, "Hey, you guys come down quickly!" ”

"Really, Doctor..."

"Doctor, you change your face so quickly!"

"That's a 10 million dollar carpet!" The doctor said, then looked at Kaedehara with a worried expression, "So, those people can't be targeting this carpet, right?" ”

Conan and the others were stunned for a moment.

A moment later.

Conan, who listened to the Doctor and Kaedehara retell the matter, thought for a moment, "I see, in this case, the other party may indeed be coming for the pot or carpet..."

"And it should be among those three groups."

Kaedehara took over the conversation, "The pair of sisters in the first group don't know anything at all, they just came to join in the fun, you can rule it out... The father and son in the third group can also be excluded..."

"Huh? Why? The doctor was a little surprised, he had a very bad impression of the father and son, and Kaedehara hadn't had time to explain just now.

"Observing the marks of the times left on the outside and inside of the pot is also a method of identification, the father and son just touched it slightly, and looked at the inside of the pot to know the value of the pot, indicating that they have a very good eye..."

"Then they said Doctor, you're joking, which shows that they see the value of the rug too..."

"It's worth 500,000 yen to buy something worth 10 million yen," Gray Yuan finally added, "There's no reason not to accept this plan from you, Doctor, but want to commit a crime..."

"That's the second group!" Ayumi said.

"But the couple was kind enough to say that it might be a very valuable pot," the doctor was a little puzzled, "and let me go and ask the expert to take a look!" ”

"It's all about pots, right?" "And they're talking about taking the pot for identification." After that, they advised the Doctor not to let too many people look at the pot... That is, they don't want anyone else to notice your carpet, Doctor..."

"That's right," Conan agreed, "Doctor, you said they hadn't touched the pot, but had been looking at it with a magnifying glass, right?" ”

"Yes, yes..."

"That must be like what we just did!" Mitsuhiko said, "We were also using the magnification function of Conan's glasses to look at the carpet just now! ”

"I see," Gray Yuan Ai glanced at the doctor, "They must have seen in the video that this is a Persian carpet, so they came directly to the carpet, and they were not interested in the pot at all..."

Judging by each other's performance, the couple obviously came to the carpet, but pretended to be looking at the pot. This kind of cover-up behavior also indicates that they may have some illegal thoughts about carpets.

"Does the Doctor remember who they are?"

"He—They didn't say it..."

"Do you have any other impressions?" Kaedehara then asked, "Or did you say anything else?" ”

"So, it seems like someone asked some strange questions," the doctor recalled, "like when you and Xiao Ai came back, what friends you have, what do you do on weekends, etc..."

"Is that the couple?" Gray Plains asked.

"No, I don't remember..."

"Hey," Conan looked at the Doctor, "it's only been a day or two..."

"Oops! Surely the Doctor has the kind of problem that he can't remember when he's old? ”

"It's called Alzheimer's disease..."Mitsuhiko said to Gentai Koko.

"Not really! I just didn't take it to heart! The Doctor defended himself with some weakness that his mind was full of his own pot.

"Strange," Conan pondered for a moment, "If it's for the carpet, wouldn't it be nice to steal it directly, why ask about the situation of Kaedehara and Ashbara..."

"It's to make sure there's no one at home..."

"Isn't that more about the Doctor's adult?"

"Ahh I know! Yuan Tai said, "I must have not taken the doctor seriously!" It's disgusting! ”

"Yes, yes!"

"It's okay, Doctor, we're here!"

“……”

"So what now?" Gray Yuan looked at Kaedehara, "Are you just waiting for them to do it?" ”

"How can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." "If they're looking for an opportunity, create an opportunity..."

Although it is only speculation now, and there is no ironclad evidence to prove that the speculation is correct, it will not be good if you try it.

……

Toshio Kamibe is a president who runs a furniture store in Rice Flower Town 3-chome.

He and his wife once worked on the interior decoration of a capitalist's house, and when they heard that the descendants who got the carpet sold it cheaply without knowing its value, they searched for the whereabouts of the carpet.

His wife came across Dr. Asasa's video, and they found the carpet and came up with the idea of it.

In fact, their original intention was to pretend to be a kidnapping.

They were going to use the rug to kidnap one of the little kids, and then find an excuse to put the child back in the meantime, dropping the rug in the meantime.

In this way, the other party will not focus on the carpet, and they can safely sell the carpet.

That's what they thought.

However, after learning that the two children of Dr. Asasa's family were almost inseparable, they abandoned the plan and planned to use the pot as a smoke bomb instead.

So their trajectory is still back to theft.

On this day, they hid in the car to observe the Asa family, and noticed that there were many children entering, during which the two children of the Asa family went out together...

Sure enough, they are inseparable, and they can't kidnap one alone...

After waiting for a while, just as the couple were thinking about whether to pick the lock again at night, the Dr. Asa drove out with the large group of children.

Judging by the numbers, it should all be out.

There was no one in the house, and this was a great opportunity.

Thinking to themselves, the black hooded Kamibe couple quietly got out of the car and came to the door of the doctor's house, and then to some surprise found that the Dr. Asa had forgotten to lock the door.

That guy was really careless...

Can such a person also live in rice...

What a stroke of luck, though...

When they entered the house, they saw at a glance the carpet and the pot, as they had been the last time they had come.

The air was fragrant, and a large cauldron not far away seemed to be boiling fragrant curry.

This also meant that the group might be back soon, so the couple hurriedly picked up the pot, then rolled up the carpet, wrapped it around the pot, and prepared to go out.

"I'm sorry." A crisp male voice came from behind them, "I promised not to let you take things away." ”

Startled, the couple looked back, completely unaware of how the other had appeared a few steps behind them.

Okiya lifted his glasses.

He came in through the back door of the doctor's house.

This is the end of the Carpet and Pot Incident.

The doctor was not in a hurry to use the money, but he was addicted to the video to make such a show, but the video he made caused trouble again, and his interest was lost all of a sudden.

So he pulled the video down, and then stuffed the pot and carpet back into the warehouse.

And then...

After sending off Officer Takagi and the two inmates, it was naturally curry time.

"Huh? Brother Pleiades can also make curry? The elementary school students looked at Okiya on the side of the pot.

"yes... And it's not just curry," Okiya pushed his glasses again, "I'll make a lot more..."

"Really?"

"Of course. It's lonely to eat alone..."

Okiya turned his head to look at the doctor, "Doctor, if you're busy, I can come over and help make some food, as a reward for letting me live at Kudo's house... What do you think? ”

"Ahh This..."

The elementary school students had a good impression of Okiya Pleiades, who had fished with them and made curry together, but the doctor still subconsciously looked at Kaedehara and Ashbara to ask for their opinions, "Of course I'm welcome, but..."

Gray Yuan Wai grabbed Kaedehara's sleeve.

Although Okiya looks like she is watching the doctor speak, she always feels that the other party is actually looking at herself and asking for her opinion.

"Of course." Kaede Yuan gently squeezed Ash Yuan's hand to signal her to reassure, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
