Chapter Twenty-Seven: Medieval Museum Oddities
"I've heard of this urban legend."
After hearing this, Xiaolan thought for a moment, and then said with interest: "I heard that the armor of the Middle Ages will be resurrected in the middle of the night and wander in that museum!" ”
"Medieval armor wandering around the museum?"
Fujino frowned when he heard this...... It feels a little familiar.
Magical Night at the Museum... Bah!
It should be the art gallery murder case in Conan.
If he remembers correctly, this case took place in a medieval museum.
And the armor in that strange story should be played by the curator Ochiai.
The old curator is an old comrade who loves art, regards artwork as his life, and devotes most of his life to the medieval museum where he is currently the director.
However, due to the recent unsatisfactory neon economy, the company that originally invested in the operation of the museum collapsed, and the current museum is about to be acquired by other companies.
Originally, there was nothing, but the owner of the real middle school who bought this room went back on his word and wanted to demolish the museum and rebuild the hotel.
In a fit of rage, Ochiai had the idea of killing.
The reason why he disguised himself as a weird story was to practice how to kill the boss of Manaka cleanly in advance and avoid the museum being demolished.
"Huh?"
Sonoko glanced at Fujino unexpectedly, as if he had discovered some new avenue: "Could it be that Fujino-senpai are also interested in this kind of strange talk?!" ”
"I'm not interested, I'm just curious."
Fujino nodded, "After all, what is the strange talk, since it exists, then there must be a reason for existence." ”
"What an accident, looking at it now, Fujino-senpai is really much better than that stinky fart reasoning maniac!"
"If that stinky reasoning maniac were here, he would definitely say: what strange legends, it's all Tiger Kid's stuff...... Something. ”
Yuan imitated Kudo Shinichi's tone, glanced at Fujino, and muttered, "It's the same detective, why is the gap so big?" ”
Suddenly as if she remembered something, she asked Xiaolan, "Speaking of which, Xiaolan, I don't seem to have seen that guy come to school for a long time." ”
"Shinichi He ......"
Xiao Lan frowned when she heard this, sighed, and said softly, "He's going to deal with a complicated case...... Probably won't be back for a while......"
"That's why I said that kind of stinky fart detective reasoning maniac is the most unreliable!"
Yuanzi said indignantly, "I see, that guy must have abandoned Xiaolan, you yellow-faced woman, and went to find other good-looking little girls for a private meeting!" ”
"Garden!"
Xiaolan complained, her face showing the shyness of a little girl.
"Hahaha............"
Seeing Xiaolan's delicate appearance, Yuan Zi suddenly smiled a little meaningfully.
Then, he invited the two of them: "Fujino-senpai, Xiaolan, tomorrow is the weekend, why don't we go to the Medieval Museum tomorrow to see that walking armor?" ”
"Weekends?"
Fujino frowned.
It's Monday, and tomorrow is the weekend...... He really doesn't understand the laws of time in the world of Kexue.
"Ding, detective class upgrade mission detected."
At this time, the system's prompt sound sounded in Fujino's ears.
Fujino was stunned, opened the system interface, and saw the system task and came into view:
[Detective Career Upgrade Mission: Art Museum Strange Talk About Murders.]
Objective: Solve the Strange Murder Incident in the Art Museum
Mission Option 1: No one dies
Rewards: 50 Detective Fame, 500,000 JPY Bounty, Random Class Upgrade Ticket (Purple)
Mission Option 2: Crack the Strange Tale of the Art Museum
Rewards: 50 Detective Fame, 500,000 yen bounty, Mask of Hypocrisy (purple)
Mission-limited countdown: 2 days]
"Two options?"
Fujino couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the system task in front of him.
Unlike the usual single choices, this time two options are offered.
Also, the rewards for completing the missions are not the same............
"Na! Fujino-senpai, do you have time to go to the Museum of the Middle Ages tomorrow? ”
Hearing the sound, Fujino closed the system interface, and saw that Sonoko was looking at him expectantly.
"Ahem."
He coughed lightly, thought for a moment, and promised: "If I have a holiday tomorrow, I will have time, and I don't seem to have a good rest during this time, and it is not bad to go to the museum to cultivate pottery and cultivate sentiments............"
"Then it's decided!"
The garden smiled.
The look in Fujino's eyes was meaningful.
…………
Sunset.
Fujino got home, took off his school uniform and hung it in the closet, changed into his usual suit, and after eating a cream pudding rewarded by the system, he opened the system interface and looked at the system options in front of him and pondered.
The two options for the system are very different ways of dealing with them.
The first option is to ensure that no one dies, and it should be that he is required to stop Director Ochiai from killing people in order to achieve the goal of solving the case.
The reward is a purple random rank increase ticket that randomly increases the class level.
Option 2 is much different from the usual task.
It's just that this time he knew that this case was about to happen.
If you want to solve this case, you need to wait for Director Ochiai to kill before going to the scene of the crime and solving this case.
Both are solving cases, but one is to prevent the case from happening, and the other is to sit back and watch the murderer kill.
Fujino pondered for a moment and made a decision............
Late at night, medieval art gallery.
With a wooden knife behind his back and two enhancement cards around his waist, Fujino sneaked into the medieval art museum.
His infiltration went smoothly, not because of how good he was at stealth, but because the security in the museum was too stretched at this time.
Due to the impact of the recent strange rumors, the museum is about to close in ten days, and now the security guard has not been paid for a month.
Without wages, who will work.
So now there is a museum in Nuoda, and there is only one old man on patrol.
That old man is in his sixties, and it is still for the sake of the curator's face that he will come over to be on duty for free.
The Museum of Medieval Art has four collections, the Sky Pavilion, the Earth Pavilion and the Ocean Pavilion...... There are also the Hell Pavilions, each with a name corresponding to the style of the collection, each with a different collection.
When Fujino entered the museum, he headed straight for the Hell Pavilion.
If he remembered correctly, that homicide took place in the Hell Pavilion.
"I don't know if the old man of the curator came to practice tonight............"
Fujino looked into the hallway of the dimly lit pavilion and muttered, "If you don't have one......"
"Click! Click! Click! ”
Before he could finish speaking, a crackling sound of metal came from the Hell Pavilion not far in front of him.
Fujino's heart tightened when he heard the sound, he lifted the wooden knife and walked slowly in the direction where the sound came from.
Leaning against the corner of the wall, he looked into the Hell Pavilion.
What catches your eye is a medieval armor wielding a sword scabbard............
