Conan's other self

Chapter 13 The Knight of the Art Museum (1)



Time continues to flow.

Early this morning, Maori Detective Agency.

"What? Medieval armor walks on its own!?"

"Yes, I heard that two guards saw it!" Mao Lilan said excitedly, "It also caused a small commotion around here!"

"It seems quite interesting. Let's go to the art museum together!"

After hearing about the strange events at Mihua Art Museum, Mao Lilan became curious.

In fact, she is quite afraid of ghosts and other things, but she is the kind of person who fears and loves at the same time.

What's more, her father and Conan are going with her.

Maori Lan looked at Maori Kogoro and Conan expectantly.

However…

puff……

Mouri Kogoro and Conan laughed together.

"You even believe such nonsense? It shows that you haven't grown up yet!"

"That's right, Sister Xiaolan, those are all lies to children!"

The two of them produced elemental particles one by one, and soon Mao Lilan's energy tank was filled, and an element exploded and was thrown out.

With one punch, a filing cabinet nearby gave up his young life.

"going or not?"

"Go, go..."

The two fell in love instantly.

Mao Lilan snorted.

"By the way, just ask Xiao Kong to go with you!" Mao Lilan said while picking up the phone, "Xiao Kong will not be like you two!"

Mao Lilan glared at the two of them, and the two who were sitting upright sat straighter.

"Hello, this is Dr. Ali's house." Fengyuan quickly responded to the call.

"Xiao Kong! Good morning!"

"Sister Xiaolan, morning."

After a few casual greetings, Mao Lilan went straight to the point, "By the way, Xiao Kong, my dad, Conan, and I are going to the Mihua Museum in the afternoon, shall we go together?"

Mihua Art Museum? Feng Yuan thought for a moment. Thanks to the fans he had read before traveling through time, he was quite impressed with the word "art museum".

However, you have to confirm it.

"Are you going to see the armor that can walk on its own, Sister Xiaolan?"

"Have you heard of Xiaokong?" Mao Lilan said happily, "Yes, we are going to see that! Go with sister Xiaolan, okay? We will go pick you up!"

Feng Yuan was silent for a while.

Mao Lilan was a little nervous.

It's not that she has to go with Xiao Kong, but if Xiao Kong agrees, it will be equivalent to her winning a game in front of her father and Conan.

"Okay, Sister Xiaolan, I'll excuse you." Fengyuan said, "But, Sister Xiaolan..."

Feng Yuan paused.

"Can I bring my new friends with me?"

……………

Because there were too many people, in the afternoon, Maplehara, Ayumi and others met up with Conan Ran and others directly in front of the Mihua Art Museum.

Dr. Ali sent a group of children over and then drove away. He's not interested in this.

"Ah! It's the sister I saw at the amusement park that day!" Ayumi said in surprise.

"Really, really beautiful..." Mitsuhiko blushed a little.

"Damn it! Conan didn't even tell us that he has such a beautiful sister!" Yuantai said in displeasure.

Xiaolan is quite patient with children, not to mention that they are classmates of Conan and Xiaokong. The three real primary school students quickly became familiar with Xiaolan.

Mouri Kogoro looked very impatient.

He can hardly stand the brat Conan, not to mention that he was forced to visit the art museum and had to bring a large group of brats with him...

Conan was speechless.

"Hey, Feng Yuan, why are you calling these little devils?"

"Catch ghosts." Feng Yuan replied, "The ghost hiding in the medieval armor."

"...Tell the truth." Conan said with dead eyes.

"Why, isn't it good?" Maplehara followed the crowd with Conan and looked at Ayumi and others who were mingling with Xiaolan. "Coming to visit an art museum is much better than sneaking into other people's homes to explore."

There's no way to refute this. Conan nodded in agreement.

Because he arrived earlier than Ran, Conan and the others, Kaede originally bought children's tickets for himself, Ayumi and others. After all, he called these elementary school students extra.

So when he saw that he was about to enter, Maplehara threw Conan away and ran forward, handing out the tickets to the elementary school students.

This made Xiaolan, who was about to spend her own money to invite the children to visit, felt that Fengyuan was being too polite.

Maplehara dealt with it under the guise of Dr. Ali.

There are not many tourists in the art museum, except for a large group of them, there are only a few here and there. This also allows them to view the past with ease.

It's a pity that Fengyuan doesn't have any artistic ability.

Xiaolan seemed to like it very much.

"These paintings are so beautiful!"

"Yes!" Ayumi said.

"What! It's not interesting at all!" This is Yuantai, "This painting is so messed up that I can't even understand what it is!"

"No, Genta!" Mitsuhiko said dissatisfied, "I think this painting is very good! Look -"

"Kid, do you like that painting very much?" An old voice suddenly came from behind everyone.

"Huh!?"

The people who were startled looked back and found that the person speaking was an elderly man with a slight stoop, long eyebrows and beard, and his hands behind his back.

"The name of this painting is "Angel at leisure", and it is one of Picasso's works... Although it is not very famous, I really like the warm brushwork of his work and the transparency it presents..."

"Not just his works... I like all the works here very much... They are like my children..."

The old man said to himself, which sounded quite emotional.

But Yuantai didn't accept this trick, "Hey! Who are you!"

"Yantai, you can't talk like that!" Xiaolan, who had reacted, bent down to criticize Yuantai, then stood up and looked at the elderly man, "Um, please... do you have anything to do with us?"

"Actually, I am the curator here, my surname is Ochiai..."

The older man introduced himself. Unhappy, Yuantai saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he stood up on tiptoes and reached out his hand to touch the painting.

"Hey, brat—" Uncle Maori, who had always had no sense of presence, grabbed Genta's back collar unhappily.

"What are you doing!?"

Director Ochiai suddenly shouted.

"Eh--!?" Moto Kojima, who had just been caught by Uncle Mouri, looked frightened.

Uncle Maoli was also shocked. Although he was not happy with these brats, after all, they were brought by him. Uncle Maoli cursed in his heart and prepared to apologize.

At this time, Director Ochiai repeated, "Kubota! What are you doing!"

So you’re not talking about this brat! Uncle Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, but Genta was still frightened.

"Didn't I say that you must wear gloves when handling works!? Can you afford to pay for it if it gets damaged?"

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry..." The one who was being trained was a staff member wearing a black suit. He was dressed in black like the guy who gave Kudo Shinichi the drug, but Conan had no reaction to him.

"Get out of here! Iijima, I'm begging you here!" Director Ochiai shouted.

After this, Mao Lilan's mood when looking at the painting became lighter. Ayumi and others were a little afraid of Director Ochiai, especially Genta, so they planned to visit another exhibition hall.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was fat and looked quite impressive walked over.
