Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 13 The Art Museum's Punishment

On Saturday afternoon, while tidying up the room, Shiraiwa Maha found the tickets for the art exhibition given to him by editor Nakagawa Meiyue, so he gave the tickets to Xiaolan.

"Wow at the art exhibition, there is actually an oil painting by Teacher Shiina on display"

After seeing the promotional content printed on the ticket, Xiaolan was so excited that she immediately said to the three of them, "Hey, there is nothing important today, let's go to that art gallery together."

Mori Kogoro was not interested in the art exhibition. He flipped through the newspaper delivered this morning, and refused without thinking: "No, no, no, the art exhibition is so boring, it's better to watch the horse race at home."

"father!"

Seeing that Mori Kogoro was so disrespectful, Xiaolan punched the desk angrily, making a dent on the desk, and threatened with a smile that was not a smile: "Dad, think again, do you want to go to the art exhibition?"

"Ahem, the weather is good today, you shouldn't stay at home, let's go now."

Facing Xiaolan, who has a small temper, Mori Kogoro admitted decisively, secretly regretting why Xiaolan was asked to learn karate in the first place.

After "persuading" Mori Kogoro with force, Xiaolan turned to look at Shiraiwa Maha and Conan again, and asked in the same "nuclear" way: "Brother Maba, Conan, where are you two?"

"Go, you have to go, I'm in a hurry with anyone who won't let you go."

"Brother Zhenyu is right, I also want to go to the art exhibition."

Shiraiwa Maha and Conan have a strong desire to survive, so they naturally know how to answer, even if neither of them has the slightest interest in the art exhibition.

"Haha, let's put it this way, I'm going to change clothes now."

Seeing that the three of them knew each other well, Xiaolan put away her clenched fists, went back to her room and changed into a set of clothes, and then led everyone to the Medieval Art Museum.

"Although Teacher Shiina is not very old, he is a talented painter who has won numerous awards. His representative works include "Eternal Starry Sky", "Neverland" and so on."

On the way to the art museum, Xiaolan gave everyone a popular science about the world-class painter named Shiina Mashiro, and then told the rumors she heard from school with a mysterious face.

"By the way, I heard from Yuanzi two days ago that there was a news circulating in that art gallery recently. When two security guards were patrolling at night, they saw a medieval armor that could walk by itself."

After hearing this, Mori Kogoro said angrily: "This kind of rumor is false as soon as you hear it. It must be a lie made up by the museum to attract customers. You won't believe it?"

Looking at the innocent Xiaolan, Conan laughed and said, "Hahahaha, that's right, sister Xiaolan, only children can be fooled."

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you." Xiaolan turned her head angrily, and stopped talking to Kogoro Mori and Conan.

After hearing the rumor from Xiaolan, Shiraiwa Maha recalled the incident of natural punishment in the art museum that happened in the original book, and decided to find an opportunity to stop the criminal behavior of the old curator.

Soon, everyone came to the Medieval Art Museum, took out four tickets to the guards, and entered the art gallery.

The exhibition hall of the art museum is very large, and there are oil paintings full of artistic sense hanging in it, but there are not many guests.

"So many beautiful oil paintings, it's great to be here."

Xiaolan was admiring the artistic oil paintings with relish, while Shiraiwa Maha and the other three followed her boredly.

At this time, an old man with a white beard walked up to Xiaolan, and said with a smile, "You like it very much, don't you, miss?"

Xiaolan nodded, clasped her hands together and praised: "Yes, the color matching and layout of this painting are so beautiful."

"Hehe, that's right, I like this painting too."

The old man was very satisfied with Xiaolan's answer, and continued: "To be precise, it should be the works here. I like all of them. They are like my children. They are so cute."

Seeing a strange stranger approaching Xiaolan, Mori Kogoro hurried over with Shiraiwa Maha and Conan, and asked, "This old gentleman, may I ask who you are?"

After hearing Kogoro Mori's question, the old man turned around and replied, "Excuse me, I am the curator of this art museum. My surname is Ochiai. Welcome everyone."

"Oh, so it's Mr. Curator, I'm sorry." After learning the identity of the other party, Mori Kogoro smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe, please enjoy these works slowly, I won't bother you anymore"

Before he finished speaking, Director Ochiai's face suddenly changed, and he shouted at a staff member not far away: "Kubata, what are you doing! How many times have I told you, when you touch artworks, you must To put on gloves, you forgot again, didn’t you?!”

"I'm sorry, curator, I will definitely pay attention next time." The staff member named Kubota was taken aback, and immediately apologized sincerely.

"Kubata, you go to the back to carry the goods, and Iijima will handle everything here." Curator Ochiai was very angry and immediately drove Kubota out of the exhibition hall.

"Cut." Kubota glanced at Director Ochiai with resentment, and left the exhibition hall full of resentment.

"Master Ochiai, you are here."

A middle-aged man with an air of philistine came from outside the exhibition hall, looked at the empty exhibition hall, and said with a sneer, "Sure enough, it's still the same as usual, there are not many customers at all."

Curator Ochiai tightly clenched his hands behind his back, with speechless anger in his heart, but he greeted with a smile on his face, "Boss Masaka, why are you here?"

Boss Zhenzhong didn't know that he had become the target of God's punishment for curator Ochiai, so he said proudly: "In ten days, this place will belong to me. I'll bring the designer to have a look, so I can prepare for the future opening of the restaurant." Prepare."

When Director Ochiai heard the words, he bowed humblely and begged in a low voice: "Boss Manaka, I have the audacity to ask you once. As long as you agree to continue to operate the museum, I can work for the museum without any compensation."

"It's not that you don't know the situation here. There are only so many guests every month, and the entrance fee is not enough for the electricity bill. How can we recover the investment? Director Ochiai, don't think about those unrealistic things, and finish it with peace of mind. Work for the last few days, and then go home and retire."

Boss Manaka is a profit-seeking businessman. He flatly rejected the request of the curator Ochiai and took the designer to study the renovation plan of the hotel in the exhibition hall.

Xiaolan listened to the conversation between director Ochiai and the boss of Manaka, and asked curiously: "Director Ochiai, is this museum going to disappear?"

Director Ochiai nodded, and said in a depressed mood: "Yes, the former owner's company went bankrupt, and in order to raise funds to pay off the debt, he had to sell the museum to the owner, Manaka."

The staff member named Iijima looked at the back of the boss Manaka bitterly, and added: "At the beginning, the guy promised to continue to run the art museum, and the former boss would sell the art museum to him. I didn't expect that after the transaction was completed, , he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and wanted to renovate this place into a hotel.”

"Okay, Iijima, go to work and leave everything to me." Curator Ochiai didn't want to talk about this matter, turned and left the exhibition hall.

"Uncle, you continue to visit, I'll go to the bathroom." Seeing this, Shiraiwa Maha found an excuse to leave, and chased in the direction where Director Ochiai left.
