The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 83: The catastrophe of the grandfathers
Two hours later, in the pottery classroom.
Mino Soyuki looked at his watch anxiously.
A while ago, he made a careful killing plan, and intends to implement it today.
Now, the victim is here, the target of the blame is here, and there are witnesses... However, it was almost time to get off work, but he still couldn't find a chance to get off the phone.
Actually, when he first saw this group of "reserve witnesses", Mino Mongzhi's heart sank a little, because he found that these people seemed to be mixed with a young famous detective.
However, as soon as Jiang Xia entered the door, he sat quietly beside him and started dozing off. At that time, Mino Zongzhi looked at Jiang Xia who was sleeping, and the more he looked at him, the more he thought it was God's will—otherwise, why would he deliberately let this detective fall asleep.
Mino Soyuki breathed a sigh of relief and decided to continue with his plan.
Who knows, just when the son-in-law came back, he was thinking about attacking the son-in-law, but the young detective stepped on a little bit sober, and showed great interest in pottery, and began to ask him various questions. , Wherever you go, you will never leave.
Mino Mongzhi looked at Jiang Xia, who was always within his field of vision, and fell into contemplation.
He did have the idea of challenging the detective, but that "challenge" refers to using his own highly skilled murder to challenge the detective's insight.
Instead of strangling his son-in-law in front of a detective, he challenged the detective's force value and alarm speed.
Jiang Xia followed closely and couldn't get rid of it. As time passed, Meinong Zongzhi couldn't help but start to despair... Why is there such an annoying apprentice in the world.
Soon, when it was time to get off work, the son-in-law left the pottery classroom and returned to the courtyard of Kikuemon's house.
This means that today, Mino Soyuki has no chance to carry out the murder plan at all.
Mino Soyuki sighed apologetically and had to reschedule the plan. Now, he just wanted to get the group of guests - especially the overly entangled detective away.
However, even such a humble wish could not be fulfilled.
——When the guests brought hand-made pottery and were about to leave, a middle-aged mature woman walked in from the back door and said that Kikuemon invited the guests to sit at home.
When she said this, the middle-aged woman's eyes always fell on Jiang Xia, with a little curiosity and consideration.
Mino Zongzhi twitched the corners of his eyes and walked away quickly. He had already guessed what Kikuemon was thinking.
…
Everyone has some unique hobbies, and of course Kikuemon, a national treasure-level pottery master, does the same - he is very interested in all kinds of bizarre cases, he has been paying attention to relevant reports, and he is familiar with famous detectives.
A while ago, Kikuemon noticed Jiangxia, a rising star in the industry.
He read the few cases that Jiang Xia had solved many times over and over again, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this was really a talent, and he believed that Jiang Xia was a potential stock, and he would definitely solve more bizarre cases in the future.
This afternoon, when he found out that Jiang Xia had come to their pottery classroom, Kikuemon was immediately excited, so he asked his daughter-in-law to invite someone over, wanting to chase stars up close.
In Jiang Xia's ears, this invitation was an invitation to come into the house to pick up ghosts, and he readily agreed.
Now that I have invited, of course it is impossible to only invite Jiang Xia, and the others will follow along.
…
In the living room, after viewing some exquisite works, a few people took a seat at the table.
Across the coffee table, Kikuemon straightened his beard and gave Jiang Xia a lot of serious advice. The theme was that he solved the case too quickly, resulting in insufficient suspense and anticipation.
Soon, however, Kikuemon was exposed by his daughter-in-law to the nature of a groupie: "Dad, it's popular to encourage education - you might as well just say that you are very optimistic about him." After speaking, she pulled out a collection of newspaper clippings, Open and face Jiang Xia, "Look, it's full of cases you've solved."
The old man's face stiffened.
Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look and nodded, but secretly felt that it wasn't as good-looking as the one he wrote.
Suzuki Sonoko and Maurilan said "Wow——", showing a proud expression, although they didn't know what they were proud of.
Amuro Toru drank a sip of tea speechlessly, feeling that he was on guard for nothing - as soon as he entered the door, he found that Kikuemon looked at Jiang Xia very strangely. It was because of this shrewd old man that he was targeted by this shrewd old man. Who knew it was for this reason...
…
Kikuemon is the center of this division. The guests he invited, and the rest of the family, of course, have to come out to meet.
There are not many people in the family - Kikuemon and his younger brother Mino Sect have a lost son and a lost daughter.
So apart from the two old men, there are only three male apprentices in the family, and Kikuemon's daughter-in-law. Among the apprentices, one is the son-in-law of Mino Soyuki.
The apprentices came to the living room, saw Jiang Xia, and couldn't wait to ask, "Which one did you choose?"
——In the afternoon, after Kikuemon decided to invite Jiang Xia as a guest, the family made a bet: use the most precious pottery cup in the family as a teacup for Jiang Xia, and then let the detective choose a collection in the exhibition hall As a gift, I bet whether Jiang Xia can find the treasure in his own hands.
"Don't worry, I haven't told him yet." Kikuemon waved his apprentice back, looked at Jiang Xia, and raised his hand in the direction of the showcase, "These are my collections, you can pick one from them. , as a welcome gift from me."
The daughter-in-law smiled and added to the laymen: "Each piece is a boutique with a market price of no less than one million."
"!" Mao Lilan and Conan were surprised, they didn't expect someone to give away such an expensive thing.
Suzuki Sonoko's reaction to the price was flat. Many toys worth hundreds of millions of dollars were piled up in the warehouse to eat ashes at her home.
However, this kind of souvenir still gives people a different feeling. Suzuki Sonoko leaned into Jiang Xia's ear and secretly thought out excitedly: "Choose a good-looking one!"
A few young potters next to Jiang Xia looked at Jiang Xia, showing a little bit of a good show. He specializes in art. Although Jiang Xia's detective talent is very appreciated by Kikuemon, in terms of pottery appreciation, this detective Eighty percent will be blinded.
They couldn't help but think about Jiang Xia's choice for a long time, and finally they were told that the one holding No.1 was the surprised expression they might have shown.
Just as he was trying to be happy, he saw Jiang Xia lowered his head and silently stared at the cup in his hand.
Disciples: "..."
Wait, wait...what are you looking at? !
Jiang Xia is indeed not good at appreciating pottery ~IndoMTL.com~ but he will "prophesy".
He remembered that the most expensive pottery in the whole house was a certain teacup. And now, since the old man specially asked him to guess, then according to the theory of black under the lamp that people love, the teacup is probably in his hand.
Amuro also quickly looked at the cup in Jiang Xia's hand.
Of course he hasn't read the spoilers, but as a dedicated intelligence officer, Amuro has collected a lot of information about Kikuemon during this mission, and this teacup has appeared in related magazines - it It is the proud work of Kikuemon, with a price tag of nearly ten million, which is very easy to recognize.
Jiang Xia rubbed the teacup under the sweaty gaze of several apprentices, feeling a little tangled.
He is not short of money, nor does he like to drink tea, and to be honest, although the tea cup in his hand is recognized as a fine product, the color is too plain and does not fit his aesthetic.
He actually prefers a pot with a unique pattern on the cabinet - it is very large and has a wide opening. It is a good seedling for potted plants. Compared with this teacup that can only grow a few garlic sprouts in his hand, it is more practical. much more.
Jiang Xia struggled for a long time.
Mao Lilan and the others were still looking at the display cabinet at first, but later found that Jiang Xia and his mysterious detective agency boss were looking at the teacup, so they went back to the coffee table for unknown reasons and followed the trend.
The Kikuemon family originally wanted to see "precious images of a layman's intuition to appraise treasures", but they didn't expect this to happen.
The daughter-in-law who is in charge of the finances even loses her smile—that teacup is a treasure worth millions! When she was watching Jiangxia pottery before, she had asked questions one after another, like a layman, but she didn't stop when Kikuemon proposed this plan, who knows now...
