Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Going to the Art Museum

Clear sky, the sun shines warmly on the body, and a sense of tranquility arises spontaneously.

The past week has been relatively peaceful. It is Saturday and Senichi is naturally on holiday.

Of course, it's not a waste of time. Today he has already made arrangements to visit the Beika Art Museum.

He has been paying attention to information such as the news, to see if he can get an impressive case from it, and he saw a piece of news yesterday.

It is said that in the Beika Art Museum, during patrol a guard saw the medieval knight armor in the art gallery moved by itself at night.

Seeing this news, Senichi immediately realized what kind of case this was.

There's no way, it's the same as the murder case on the luxury cruise ship of the Hatamoto 's family before! !

It's not normal to be impressed.

After buying tickets at the entrance, Senichi entered the art gallery and visited many works.

"These paintings are really good! It's worth visiting here~"

Appreciating the works aimlessly, Senichi had just walked to the exhibition area when he heard a familiar female voice coming into his ears.

Turning around to see, as expected, it was the trio of Ran, Mouri Kogoro and Conan.

"Ah, Officer Senichi, why are you here?" Ran spotted Senichi first, smiled and waved, "Are you here to visit the art gallery?"

"Well, I'm resting today. I can't stay in the police dormitory when I have nothing to do." Senichi smiled and said, "I'm a little interested in the news reported yesterday."

"Is it the moving medieval armor? I didn't expect Senichi-san to be interested in this kind of thing." Mouri Kogoro said with a smile.

"Hmph, you don't understand such interesting things, right, Officer Senichi!" Xiaolan snorted coldly, and then looked at the "Allies".

"Well...it's really interesting...but what I think is different from Ran-san." Facing Ran's eyes looking forward to "friends and companions", Senichi coughed dryly and said: "I actually came here to solve this mystery."

"That is to say, brother Senichi suspects that someone is playing tricks on the 'moving medieval armor' ?" Conan heard the meaning of Senichi's words immediately.

That is to say, Senichi believed that this happened, but he didn't think it was something on the supernatural side like weirdness, but a certain truth on the scientific side.

"Well, if someone is using ghosts to increase their popularity and attract supernatural lovers, that's fine, but I'm afraid they might have other plans." Senichi rubbed Conan's dog's head and said with a smile: "But these are just speculation, no evidence."

"Shouldn't it be said that it's criminal officers? You don't even have a good rest during the holidays, and you are worried about things." Mouri Kogoro complained, and patted him on the shoulder. "Although it's more useless work."

"Well, then just treat it as a visit to an art gallery, and it's nothing." Senichi smiled, "Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually quite good at drawing."

After all, I was an art teacher in my previous life. How can I not be good, even though my appreciation of artworks is only average.

"Eh? Really? I remember you were from the department of Law at Tokyo University, right?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Senichi and said, "I didn't expect you to be so proficient in art?"

"Well, it's just a hobby." Senichi waved his hands and began to change the subject.

"Kameda!! What are you doing!! Why aren't you wearing gloves!!?"

"Didn't I repeatedly tell you to wear gloves when holding works!!"

"What if you damage the work!? Do you have money to pay for it!!"

While they were talking, a burst of angry reprimands continued to reach everyone's ears. When they turned their heads, they found that it was an old man with a gray beard who was reprimanding a middle-aged man.

However, based on the content, the cause of the incident can also be heard.

But what people care about is after an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.

"There are not many customers. It's really a waste to open this art gallery."

In the exhibition hall, a middle-aged man walked over in an expensive suit, but he didn't sound kind to him.

"M-Manaka boss...!"

After seeing the person coming, the old man who was furious at first fell silent as if he had been strangled by the throat.

"But it's a good thing this crappy art gallery will be closed in ten days." The middle-aged man said with a proud expression, "Before closing, I need to clean up the moldy and tattered things in this room."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the designer who was following him and said, "Show me the decoration drawing of the restaurant."

Afterwards, the other party was completely showing off, constantly pointing and pointing in the room to the designer for the specific requirements for the future decoration.

"..."

The old man looked at the other party's arrogant appearance, but he could only keep silent with an ugly expression.

"That... Excuse me... is the art gallery closing?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, but..." Looking at the girl in front of me with a pitiful face, the old man smiled helplessly, "You heard it too, this place will become a big hotel next month... I.. this curator really neglected his duties ah..."

"Eh? Why did it become like this?" Mouri Kogoro asked, puzzled.

"It's the financial crisis under the economic bubble, the owner's company went bankrupt. In desperation, he sold it to Boss Manaka..."

The old man's expression was full of disappointment, "he originally promised to continue to open the art gallery, so they sold it to him..."

Then the other party said "Please take your time to visit" and left directly without even introducing himself, which shows that he was uneasy.

"Then let's go too." Ran said enthusiastically, "There are still several exhibition halls that I haven't visited yet. If the gallery is closing, we must seize the opportunity!"

Speaking of which, Ran looked at Senichi and invited, "Officer Senichi, would you like to come with us?"

"No. Sorry, I have a place to visit first." Senichi declined politely. He was planning to follow the old man, so he didn't have time to visit leisurely with them.

"Really? Goodbye then." Ran led Conan and her father smiled and waved her hands away from Senichi, but Conan who was being held by the hand was frowning and thinking.

"I hope nothing happens..." Conan raised his head and glanced at Senichi, always feeling that the other party seemed to know something before he came here.

Moreover, what the other party said earlier was also very meaningful.

"Conan-kun, shall we visit the Sky Exhibition Hall next?"

Ran's words reached Conan's ears and interrupted his contemplation. Looking at Ran's bright smiling face, Conan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, if sister Ran wants to go, then let's go."

"Well... It should be no problem to leave the investigation to officer Senichi. According to the previous two encounters, he is not a random person."

Conan pondered for a moment, then he was led by Ran and left the exhibition hall in peace.
