Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 24 Dinner Together
In the lobby of the art museum, a handsome middle-aged man looked at Qin Zhibo from a distance, then walked straight over, and once again released his standard smile for dealing with people.

"Mr. Qin, we meet again."

Forehead.
Seeing Ryohei Matsumoto here, Qin Zhibo didn't know how to answer the conversation.

However, Matsumoto Ryohei had already familiarly put his arms around Qin Zhibo's shoulders and invited Qin Zhibo into the art museum.

Of course, tickets are free.

Walking in the art gallery of the art museum, Qin Zhibo looked around at the art museum which was still very familiar with its layout.

"So... your new job is to be the curator here?"

"Yes."

Ryohei Matsumoto smiled and nodded, looking around at the various artworks displayed with narrowed eyes.

"The original curator here was arrested by the police because he was involved in a murder case, and the murdered person was the owner who planned to transform this place into a hotel."

"The hotel renovation plan went bankrupt, and the art gallery continued to operate. I will "take care" of these artworks in the future."

As expected of someone who was a senior housekeeper before, "care" is the keyword of his work.

However, in Qin Zhibo's view, such emotions are more dangerous.

Like the former Ochiai curator, it was because he was too emotionally involved and regarded this art museum as his own child, which led to his obsession.

"It's a good job for you."

Before Qin Zhibo investigated the information of Matsumoto Ryohei, he knew that Matsumoto Ryohei was quite talented and skilled in art.

Coupled with the fact that the housekeeper and the curator are both management-oriented jobs, Qin Zhibo feels from the bottom of his heart that this is the most suitable job for Matsumoto Ryohei besides the job of housekeeper.

"Thank you."

"By the way, you didn't come here just passing by, did you?"

Faced with Matsumoto Ryohei's question, Qin Zhibo should have said that he was indeed just passing by, and he was a little curious about who the new curator was, so he stopped by to have a look.

But Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered the painting "Heaven's Punishment" that gave him some inspiration last time.

The demon depicted in the painting gave Qin Zhibo a sense of real existence at that time.

So at this time, Qin Zhibo had a whim and wanted to take a closer look at the painting again.

"Oh that painting"

"Unfortunately, that painting was bought a few days ago."

"Buy it?"

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled by this statement.

"Well, you also know that this art gallery belongs to a personal owner?"

"The owner sold the painting to an art dealer from the United States. It is said that the transaction price was particularly high. The owner of the art museum relied on this money to settle the financial problem and allow the art gallery to continue to operate. "

An American art dealer traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to buy a wicked painting by an unknown artist?
Qin Zhibo felt a little strange, but he was still helpless.

"God's Punishment" couldn't be finished, but Matsumoto Ryohei immediately proposed an invitation to Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin, can you come to my house for dinner later?"

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the back row of the car, glanced at Matsumoto Ryohei who was driving in front of him, and then glanced out the car window at the mountain forest that was getting darker and darker as the sky got darker.

Originally, Qin Zhibo thought that Ryohei Matsumoto's home was in Mihua Town, so going to have a light meal would save a lot of money.

As a result, Matsumoto Ryohei drove directly out of Mihua Town and came to a suburb called "Dongdu Mountain" on the navigator.

According to this situation, Qin Zhibo should have been anxious in his heart, and he could even think about how to jump out of the car and run away.

After all, Qin Zhibo knew that Matsumoto Ryohei had cannibalism, and this kind of thing was enough to arouse Matsumoto Ryohei's killing intent.

Here is a barren mountain, and there seems to be no people around, it is a good place to kill people.

But Qin Zhibo didn't panic at all, he lay leisurely on the back seat, sometimes he felt bored and yawned a lot.

Seeing Qin Zhibo's reaction through the rearview mirror of the car, Ryohei Matsumoto smiled.

What an incredible man.
As the car engine stopped, a large villa with a simple architectural style broke into Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

"There are villas in this deep mountain and old forest?"

"Yes." Ryohei Matsumoto took out a box tightly wrapped in black plastic from the trunk of the car, "In fact, there are many hidden villas like this in this mountain forest."

"It was popular for rich people to build villas in this kind of place decades ago."

Qin Zhibo captured some useful information from Matsumoto Ryohei's words.

"So you're a rich man?"

Matsumoto Ryohei thought for a while, "This villa was inherited from my father, but unfortunately, apart from this villa, my father did not leave anything more valuable."

Entering the interior of the villa, the interior decoration style is relatively classical, mainly with wooden structure and red paint.

While walking, Matsumoto Ryohei also introduced the situation of the villa.

"Actually, I just moved back here recently, and I used to live in Master Sowa's house."

"It's a little far from the town, so it would be troublesome if you don't hire people, and this villa is on the shady side of the mountain, so it doesn't get much sunlight even in the daytime."

"In contrast, over the hill there is a blue castle building."

"Before the old owner passed away, I was invited to see the unique views that can only be enjoyed from that castle."

"That is truly a treasure"

Matsumoto Ryohei talked eloquently, first entertained Qin Zhibo to the living room, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner by himself.

In the classical living room, a color TV is installed in a more user-friendly way, and it can still be used.

Not only that, but Rena Mizuna's TV show is not over yet.

Rena Mizumu: "Recently, the police uncovered a kidnapping case of a young girl. The kidnapper Kazumasa Sagawa was arrested, and he is also a suspect in the disappearance of XX three years ago."

"According to the current information disclosed by the police, Sagawa Kazun is related to the cohabiting boyfriend and girlfriend of the XX family who disappeared three years ago. The specific motive and details of the crime have not been disclosed by the police."

Male anchor: "I really doubt the police's ability to handle cases more and more. A case three years ago can only be caught after three years until the murderer commits another crime."

"Does the police really have to rely on those self-righteous detectives to solve the case? Who will guarantee the safety of the Japanese people?"

After hearing what the male anchor said, Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows.

He was the one who touted high school student detectives as the savior of the Japanese police last time, and he was also the one who looked down on detectives this time.

Is it really just grass on the wall?

At this moment, Matsumoto Ryohei came out of the kitchen and called Qin Zhibo to the dining room for dinner.

The food on the long table was rich and delicate, making Qin Zhibo feel the warmth of home for the first time after he has been in this world for an unknown number of days.

On one side of the long table, Matsumoto Ryohei pulled out the chair from under the table like a butler, arranged for Qin Zhibo to sit on it, and wrapped Qin Zhibo with a napkin, but he did not immediately go to the other side of the table to sit down.

Ryoko Matsumoto stood quietly behind the seat, staring straight at Qin Zhibo's unsuspecting Tian Ling Gai.

"Actually, since the first time we parted, I have been thinking about it"

"Consider the advice you gave on 'Eat'."
