Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 386: The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Maori Detective Agency.

"Huh? Medieval armor that can walk on its own?"

Conan's little face was full of suspicion as he listened to Mao Lilan telling him about the recent rumor that medieval armor could walk on its own.

Medieval armor that walks on its own? Are you kidding!
Unless it's haunted.

But how could ghosts exist in this world!
But Mao Lilan didn't care about his attitude, and was still talking happily: "I heard that it was seen by two security guards, and the news has spread around the area."

——One night, two security guards of the art museum were patrolling the museum as usual.

"Ah, I really don't want to tour the art gallery at night, especially this hellish exhibition room!"

Looking at the pitch-black environment that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and the hideous and ugly monsters on both sides, the young security guard couldn't help but complain to his companion, a security guard who was slightly older than him.

There is no lighting equipment installed in the hell exhibition room of the art museum. Because of this, the security guards can only use flashlights for lighting when patrolling.

Unfortunately, the hell showroom they were patrolling was filled with dark and horror-style art.

What's more, it was pitch black all around, and such an environment was really terrifying.

The older security guard seemed to be accustomed to this job, so he was particularly disdainful of the younger security guard's words, "Humph, if that's the case, then you shouldn't be a security guard."

As a security officer, how can I be afraid of this and that?

If you are afraid of everything, it is better not to do this kind of job from the beginning!
As he spoke, the older security guard couldn't help but frown slightly.

But it wasn't because he was dissatisfied with his partner, but because he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that he seemed to have heard other voices just now. "Did you hear any strange sounds?"

"Senior, please don't scare me!"

When these words were spoken, the young security guard was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

The older security guard ignored him and walked towards the source of the sound he heard with a flashlight.

You know, there is no one else in this art gallery except the two security guards, but there are other strange noises, which is obviously not normal.

Regardless of whether the unusual noise was caused by the wind, or a wild cat accidentally ran in, or some blind thief came in to steal things, as a qualified security guard, he should investigate it anyway.

Watching the older security guard walking further and further away, the younger security guard gritted his teeth and followed him.

Not to mention, if a person is alone, he is more likely to encounter danger.

For example, if the seniors have already gone into battle and he, as a junior, still shrinks back and dares not step forward, if this matter gets out, it will easily affect his career.

——Speaking of the impression of Japanese people, many people's first impression is rigorous and serious, and others should be the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates.

Subordinates must obey their superiors. This culture is not only prevalent in the military, but also in Japanese companies.

Superiors or seniors have the right to teach juniors a lesson at will. If they don't like someone, they will scold him or her. As a subordinate or a newcomer, you cannot show dissatisfaction, let alone ask about someone's mother. Otherwise, getting beaten is not a big deal, but you will be isolated and excluded from the team, or even lose your job.

Moreover, seniority is particularly important in Japan. In the Japanese workplace, even if you work part-time in a store and come into the store half a day late, you have to use honorifics and address the other person as a senior.

So the scene that many people can see is that in a convenience store, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties is half bent over and speaks very politely using honorifics to a high school student with a childish face.

Perhaps the place where the hierarchy is most strictly enforced is in the school's sports department.

For example, the Japan Sport University, which focuses on sports competition, is famous for its strict management of superiors and subordinates, even to the point of being devilish.

Let me give you a simple example and you will know what the devilish relationship between superiors and subordinates in Japan is.

There are four people in each dormitory at Nippon Sports University, which is exactly one person for each class from freshman to senior year.

In daily life, there are regulations on the positions for watching TV and sleeping, and the backup can only take its turn after the seniors have chosen.

Even if the senior students go out for drinking and partying and don't come back to the dormitory until late at night, then the freshmen, as the juniors, cannot go to bed and must sit in the room waiting for them to come back before they can go to bed.

From these two clips, we can see that the hierarchy in Japan has reached the point where whatever the seniors say must be obeyed unconditionally!
Because the distance was not too far, the two quickly found the room where the strange noise came from.

"It came from this room!"

The closer they got to the room, the clearer they could hear it.

"Dengdengdeng..."

To the two men's ears, the strange sound seemed to be the sound of iron sheets stepping on the floor, slow and heavy, as if an iron man was walking.

"Who...who is in there?!"

As they talked, the two men subconsciously shone the flashlights in front of them.

Then the next moment, under the beam of light from the flashlight, they saw a Western European medieval sword-wielding knight in armor that was supposed to be a work of art slowly walking towards them in the dark hell showroom, with a terrifying red glow in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, both the young security guard and the older security guard couldn't help but scream in fear, and then they couldn't hold back their panic anymore, and fled in panic...

"It looks very interesting. Shall we all go to that art gallery together?"

Thinking back on the rumors she had heard, fear and expectation flashed in Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes.

Although she was afraid of rumors related to ghosts, she couldn't resist her curiosity and wanted to go and see.

Moreover, in recent times, under the special training of her boyfriend, she has developed a certain resistance to this kind of things.

——The so-called special training is that a horror movie is playing in the room, and she and her boyfriend are doing things that adults like in the room.

Although she was always scared to death by doing this, it also brought a different experience to her boyfriend. Moreover, maybe because of her many experiences, she actually had a certain resistance to ghosts.

At the very least, I no longer tremble with fear and dare not move when I see ghosts or something like that like before.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as these words came out, Maori Kogoro poked his head out from behind the newspaper and laughed at Maori Ran without disguising, "This must be a story deliberately made up by the museum to attract customers. You are so stupid!"

Conan also echoed: "That's right! Sister Xiaolan, that rumor is specifically meant to deceive children!"

He is a staunch atheist.

Mao Lilan clenched her fists with a gloomy face, especially when she looked at a little kid who was smiling particularly happily, she felt even more unhappy.

Child, you are a child yourself now, and you still have the nerve to say that the rumor she just told was a lie for children!
Putting away the newspaper in his hand, Maori Kogoro stood up and said, "Okay, let's get to work, let's get to work!"

If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid he would die of laughter.

Conan also stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked towards his room, "I'm going to do my homework!"

If you have that much time, wouldn’t it be better to just do your homework instead of going to an art museum?

Seeing that neither her father nor the smaller version of her childhood sweetheart was willing to believe what she said, Mao Li Ran couldn't help but turn her gaze to the other person in the room.

That was a young man with fair skin, handsome features, and soft and loose black hair that reached his ears, like a scattered night sky.

It was her boyfriend - Bai Ye.

Because her mother has been busy with a case recently and has not even had time to go home, and in order to make it easier for her boyfriend to receive special training and her father's pleading, after much consideration, Mao Li Ran temporarily moved back to the Maori Detective Agency.

However, she is usually only in the office during the day. At night, she will go to Bai Ye's residence to receive special training. Sometimes, she will simply spend the night there and not come back.

Although Conan had some complaints about all this, Mouri Kogoro, his father, didn't say anything. As a guest staying there, he couldn't object.

But after this incident, he disliked Bai Ye even more.

Noticing Mao Lilan's pleading eyes, Bai Ye coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, "Actually, I think this rumor is quite interesting!"

You must pamper your girlfriend.

Moreover, Bai Ye still had some impression of the fact that this medieval armor could walk.

In other words, very impressive.

Because this armor murder case can be said to be a classic case in "Detective Conan".

Moreover, it, the Bandage Monster Murder Case, and the Library Murder Case can be said to be the childhood trauma of many people.

——The Medieval Art Museum is a famous art museum in Tokyo, and there is a constant stream of visitors.

But that was in the past. With the construction of more and larger new art galleries, the Nakadashi Art Museum has begun to become deserted. Finally, due to poor management of the Nakadashi Art Museum, the original owner of the museum sold it to a man named Boss Manaka.

As the owner of the art museum, Mr. Manaka decided to close the museum in ten days due to the sluggish business and planned to convert it into a hotel.

In the mind of the museum director Ochiai, the art museum is sacred and inviolable, but for the sake of profit, owner Manaka wants to close it in ten days and transform it into a hotel.

The art museum that he had devoted his life to and loved was about to disappear, and these artworks had nowhere to go and were even at risk of being resold by Kubota. How could Director Ochiai, who treated artworks like his own children, watch all this happen? So he decided to kill Boss Manaka next to the painting "Heavenly Punishment" to protect the art museum...

And the so-called armor was seen walking around in the art gallery in the middle of the night, which meant that he was rehearsing the killing process in the armor!
Judging from the final result, Director Ochiai achieved his goal, Boss Manaka was "punished by God" and died in a very artistic way; although Kubota escaped the accusation of murder, he would inevitably be punished by law for stealing and selling the museum's collections; and the museum, which was most important to Director Ochiai, was also preserved and not demolished.

However, although the knight of justice subdued the devil, he was also baptized by the blood of evil...which means that he himself was also invaded by the evil spirit!
In the process of killing Boss Manaka, Director Ochiai was also contaminated by the devil's blood and became a new devil!

With the support of her boyfriend, Mao Lilan became cheerful again, "Right! Bai Yejun also finds it very interesting, right!"

Sure enough, she knew that her boyfriend was the best.

Bai Ye nodded gently: "It is indeed very interesting, but the interesting point is not the armor, and it should not be the supernatural event you imagined, Xiaolan!"

"Ah?" Mao Lilan blinked, a little curious why Bai Ye said that.

Could it be that her boyfriend discovered something?

Not to mention her, even Conan, who was originally not interested in going to the art museum, became interested.

Because, as an old rival, he knew very well that Bai Ye was a private detective whose observation skills were no less than his.

Since the other party said it was interesting, he must have some clues that he didn't know about.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop, prick up his ears and listen.

Glancing at Conan who was waiting for the next words, Bai Ye chuckled and continued, "The rumor that there was armor moving around in the art gallery in the middle of the night is indeed quite interesting."

"However, as far as I know, not many people are interested in such exhibits about the Middle Ages now. Even if we organize activities, few people will go to see them. Therefore, the so-called armor moving around in the art gallery in the middle of the night is probably a gimmick created to attract people."

"After all, the art gallery is closed at night. If something like this happens now, it must have been done by someone inside their organization. It's just that the security guards don't know about it!"

"Of course, it is not ruled out that they did this not to create a gimmick, but for other purposes."

Conan came closer with curiosity, "If their purpose is not to create a gimmick and attract more tourists, then what is it?"

After taking a deep look at him, Bai Ye said in a joking tone: "Maybe someone is wearing armor and rehearsing the killing process?"
