Chapter 769: Blood-stained Eyes [Thank You Patron Gao Leng Jiyong Xuan Xiaohua]
Ayumi Looked at the Scroll, then turned her head to look at A Group of People at the Entrance, "But, who would do such a thing?"
The stunned bald Middle-aged Man suddenly recovered, "Then it couldn't have been me, I don't have a Daughter at Home, I don't even know how to Arrange Dolls..."
"The Emperor Doll and Empress Doll on the first tier are placed wrongly," Mitsuhiko looked at the Man with a Serious Face, "So the Criminal should be someone who is not very good at Arranging Dolls!"
"That's right," Genta nodded emphatically, "Just hurry up and admit it!"
"They are not placed wrongly," Chi Feichei Looked Towards the Old Lady Standing at the Door, "Before the Meiji Restoration, Western Ideology of left being superior had not yet been introduced to Japan, the Arrangement of Girl's Day Doll does look like female left and male right from the front..."
"Moreover, among the other Dolls on the six tiers below, only the Direction of the Minister Doll on the left and right is also reversed, which means that the person who hid the Scroll here is someone who is good at Arranging Dolls, but would Subconsciously Arrange them according to the Arrangement method before the Meiji Restoration, and is Older..." Conan also Looked Towards the Old Lady, "Old Lady, it's you, right?"
The Old Lady saw that others were looking at her and nodded.
Conan was a little melancholy, it was like this again this time, it ended as soon as he Intention to think, he always felt that the Pace shouldn't be like this.
"But, Why did you do it, Grandma?" Middle-aged Woman asked in surprise.
The Old Lady lowered her head and sighed, "Oh... I just wanted to hide the Thunder God and wait for my Son to come back to tell him not to repeat my Mistake of that year."
"Repeat the Mistake of that year?" the fat Man asked in Doubt.
"Our Home originally had a Scroll of the Wind God," the Old Lady Looked Towards the Scroll on the Display Stand, "It's a pair with this Thunder God Scroll, both of which were found by my Husband in the Warehouse, and I don't know where they came from... Because Legend says that the Wind God and Thunder God are the Guardian Gods of Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva, and we are the Konno family, my Husband often said that they are also our family's Guardian Gods, But, when my Son and his Wife got Marriage, because we didn't have Money to buy a House, I secretly sold the Wind God Scroll without telling my Husband who was participating in the Company Travel at the time. As a result, my Husband and the others encountered a Typhoon at Sea, and the Passenger Ship they were riding on sank in the Sea. That Typhoon was Just Like the Wind God stirred it up..."
The bald fat Man's Face instantly turned Pale, "Could it be that the Cursed Wind God Scroll has changed hands and ended up in my hands?"
"There's no Curse," the Old Lady smiled, Wrinkle at the corners of her Eyes piled up, looking very Kind, "For example, Plush Toy, originally Plush Toy placed beside Children's pillows are for removing Bad Luck and acting as a Substitute. Similarly, every time I Clean Up the Dust on the Thunder God Scroll, I will Think that the Wind God Scroll may have borne the Disaster that should have descended on our Home..."
Saying that, the Old Lady Turn Around to face the bald fat Man again, "So, this Thunder God Scroll, please don't interfere."
"Oh? So there is such a layer of Benefit Relationship besides Value," Glasses Man Looked Towards the bald Man, and squeezed out, "Then, are you Intention to risk your Life to get this Scroll?"
"N-No Need," the bald fat Man Scared and rushed out the Door, "I have the Wind God Scroll, that's enough!"
Glasses Man smiled, withdrew his Line of Sight, and Looked Towards Middle-aged Woman and Old Lady, "Then, I will visit again in two days."
"Ah?" Middle-aged Woman Be Stunned.
This person still wants to buy their family's Scroll?
"I'm here to teach you some correct methods for maintaining Scrolls." Glasses Man finished Smilingly, bowed, "Then I will take my leave first."
The Old Lady Looked Towards the Middle-aged Police Officer leading the team, "Then let's go too, Police Officer, I committed a crime and should be punished..."
"Committed a crime?" Middle-aged Police Officer Interrupt, and smiled, "Forget it! This is Just a Farce caused by the House Owner messing up the Room and not being able to find Things. If I take people back to the Police Department because of this kind of Matter, my Colleague will Joke at me!"
The Old Lady breathed a sigh of relief, then Looked Towards A Group of Children over there who were surrounding Chi Feichei to Look at the Scroll, and Say to her Daughter-in-law, "Although that's Say So, I still Scared those Children by doing this today. I will also help you pack those Dolls, and let that Little Girl take them back today."
"This Scroll should be an imitation of Tawaraya Sotatsu's Wind God and Thunder God Screen Painting from the Koetsu period. Those two Screen Painting have become National Treasure, and this is the greatest Value..." Chi Feichei who was Standing in front of the Display Stand was Saying, when he Suddenly heard the Old Lady Say this, he Turn Head and Say, "The Car can't fit them anymore, please send them by Home Delivery Service."
Silence.
Conan: "..."
Hey hey, how did Chi Feichei manage to explain the Value of this Scroll to them while also being distracted to listen to what people at the Entrance were chatting about?
Haibara Ai: "..."
The Topic changed really Suddenly.
"Y-Yes, is that so..." The Old Lady was also Be Confused by Chi Feichei's Sudden Sentence, "Then I will send it by Home Delivery Service."
Middle-aged Police Officer also sweated, and sized up Chi Feichei, this Young Man is Indeed very Weird, "By the Way, I have another Problem, what exactly are you...?"
Conan: "..."
This scene is a bit familiar, he used to finish a round of Reasoning, and afterwards someone would occasionally Ask this.
He always answered: 'Kudo Shinichi, is a Detective.'
He had also seen His Dad being asked this Problem, His Dad's answer is generally: 'Just a Novelist who is not worth mentioning', that look sometimes really made him feel sour.
Chi Feichei had answered 'Veterinarian' before, and he felt that the Style of Painting of this question and answer was seriously Wrong, so this time...
Chi Feichei also felt that answering 'Veterinarian' was not in the right Style of Painting, and he hadn't been to the Pet Hospital for Work for a long time, so he simply helped his Teacher brush up his Reputation, "My Teacher is Mori Kogoro."
"Mori..." Middle-aged Police Officer's Eyes lit up, "Is that the Famous Detective Mori Kogoro?"
"Oh?" Middle-aged Woman also Say in surprise, "Is that Famous Detective who often appears on Television..."
"It really is a Famous Teacher produces outstanding Disciple," the Old Lady also smiled, "It seems that my little Subtle Move cannot Deceive a Real Detective at all!"
Conan laughed dryly, that Uncle is Probably drunk and snoring in the Detective Agency, and this can still brush a wave of Reputation, Chi Feichei, this Disciple, really has nothing to Say.
"By the Way..." Ayumi Turn Head and Looked at the Setting Sun Outside the Window, Reach Out and pulled Chi Feichei to run Outside, "Brother Chi, come with me for a while!"
Setting Sun was setting in the West, Sunshine passed through the Window of the Apartment Staircase, illuminating the Stairs, and paved a layer of hazy and soft Red Light on the ground and Elevator Door.
After Ayumi pulled Chi Feichei out the Door, she Looked at the Surrounding Area, and looked up at Chi Feichei Standing Beside her, "It's very beautiful, right? Chi... Eh?"
Chi Feichei looked at the Red Setting Sun and Sky Behind the Window, Purple Eyes were also reflected in Red, coupled with the overly calm Emotion in his Eyes, the bottom of his Eyes was Just Like stained with dark Red Blood.
Aside, Mitsuhiko and Genta poked their Heads out from the Door Crack, Expressionless, Stare.
Conan laughed dryly, and followed to poke his Head out to Look, Suddenly discovered that Ayumi who was looking up at Chi Feichei was Be Stunned, and couldn't help but feel Doubt.
Chi Feichei also Turn Head to Look at Ayumi, "What's Wrong?"
Ayumi recovered, feeling that she was a little bad for being Scared just now, and shook her Head, "No, I just think the Setting Sun is not as beautiful as I imagined. Originally, I wanted to Request Brother Chi to help me take a Photo with Conan and the others here..."
"It's not," Genta couldn't hide it anymore, walked out from the Entrance, and Looked at the Dreamlike Surrounding Area, "I think it's very beautiful!"
"Indeed," Haibara Ai also walked out the Door, raised her Eyes to Look at the Setting Sun Outside the Window, "Today's Setting Sun is Indeed very beautiful."
Ayumi quietly Observation Haibara Ai's Eyes, and discovered that Haibara Ai's Eyes were Indeed reflected in some Red, but did not become very Weird Like Chi Feichei, cheered up, and smiled, "Then please Request Brother Chi to help us take Photo!"
Chi Feichei did not refuse, and waited for Ayumi to bring the Camera, went down the Stairs and Go To Windowside, and Looked at the five Little Devils sitting on the Steps.
Ayumi pulled Conan to sit on the upper Steps, raised her Eyes to Look at Chi Feichei Standing against the light, and felt a little lost in her Heart.
She originally Intention to take a Photo with Chi Feichei too, But Imagination is very beautiful, Reality is very Cruelty.
Tonight's Setting Sun is too Red, when Chi Feichei was looking at the Setting Sun, the way his Eyes were reflected in Red was a bit scary, she Don't Want To let Chi Feichei See such an unbeautiful Photo, and Don't Want To let others See it either, she could only let Chi Feichei go to help them take Photo.
Konno family's Middle-aged Woman also Followed out, Looked at the five Children sitting on the Stairs, and smiled, "The Setting Sun has dyed the Stairs Red, plus the Milky White Elevator Door behind, you are now Just Like Dolls sitting on the Display Stand!"
"Ah?" Genta Turn Head to Look at Ayumi and Conan sitting on the upper Stairs, "Then Conan and Ayumi have become the Emperor Doll and Empress Doll? Damn it, I want to go too!"
"Me too!" Mitsuhiko pulled Haibara Ai, "Haibara, you come too!"
"Eh?" Haibara Ai was pulled up with a Stunned Face.
Chi Feichei pressed the shutter, and took a Photo of the five Little Devils who were making a scene.
Such a Photo is perfect.
...
The Next Day.
Apartment 11th Floor, Haibara Ai stayed in the Living Room in English classical Style, unpacked the Girl's Day Doll from the Box, and prepared to place them on the Display Stand covered with Red cloth.
"Gaa!" Non-Ink used Claws to push the Emperor Doll forward.
"Thank You, Non-Ink," Haibara Ai picked up the Doll and placed it on the top tier of the Display Stand, "Long time no See, where did you go to play recently?"
Non-Ink gaa gaa Call, "Took Little Sister Fei Li, she wants to be the Queen in the Sea, But doesn't understand how to bring Personnel, I have been stationed at the Seaside recently to make it convenient to give her lessons."
Haibara Ai didn't understand what Non-Ink was Saying, But seeing Non-Ink responding, her Mood was also very good, and when she Turn Head, she discovered that Hissashi was using his Tail to push the Empress Doll forward, picked up the Doll and placed it on it, "Thank You too, Hissashi, with your Help, it's really much easier."
"Gaa!" Non-Ink used Claws to push the wine-serving Palace Maid.
Hissashi also began to find the Palace Maid holding the Wine Glass in a pile of Dolls.
Doctor Agasa poked his Head out from the Kitchen and Looked at it, and turned to Chi Feichei Smilingly and Say, "Ai and Hissashi, Non-Ink Cooperate really Tacit Agreement!"
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei was still concentrating on making Snack.
Traditional Snack for Girl's Day to eat for Little Girl, also Call Hishi Mochi.
Doctor Agasa leaned closer and Looked at it, "Hissashi, you can also make Hishi Mochi, it looks very good!"
"I bought relevant Cookbook last night," Chi Feichei explained, without raising his Head, "Doctorate, please Help me get the Bottle for Sweet Wine on the Kitchen Counter over there."
"Oh, Okay!" Doctor Agasa Start Doing to Help.
