Chapter 563 Family Banquet [Happy Valentine’s Day~]

"Okay, thank you for the hospitality. I'll go back first."

After lunch, Karasawa said goodbye to Haiyuan and the others with a smile and left with Conan.

This time Tang Ze was just taking a vaccination in advance, so it was not a mistake to be nervous.

After all, he remembered that it was winter at that time, but now it was still early autumn, and the time was not right yet.

When winter really comes, Tangze should be careful.

After leaving Conan, who was feeling a little heavy, at the Mori Detective Agency, Karasawa drove directly home.

Because Ayako went home on Saturday and Sunday, there was no one at home.

After Karasawa returned home, he changed his clothes, took a shower, and then called Ayako.

"Are you busy?"

Listening to the slightly noisy background coming from the other end of the phone, Tangze didn't waste time and got straight to the point: "Will you come back for lunch? I will be at home now and prepare lunch later."

"I was just about to call you." Ayako smiled and said, "Mom asked us to go back for lunch. Uncle Jiroji returned to Neon. Let's have a meal together to help uncle."

"Then I'll pick you up soon after you finish cleaning up."

Tang Ze said that he understood: "In addition, the acquisition of online movie copyrights that I talked about last night should be negotiated as soon as possible."

"Hey, hey, I got it." Ayako felt a little helpless when she heard this, "You always come up with some plans that are more or less practical. I don't even know if these things are useful..."

"Well... I just did it as soon as I caught up." Tang Ze smiled brightly and knew that his behavior of banging his hammer here and there was a bit strange to others.

After all, other people are not time travellers, and they cannot know what things will be worth in the future.

And without strong financial strength, even if Tang Ze knew that this thing would make money in the future, he might not be able to withstand such a "waste" investment.

Even from an investment perspective, I'm afraid it's not very reasonable.

But after all, it is an additional accessory product to prevent the case from obtaining rewards, so it does not require so much.

After blow-drying his hair, Karasawa changed out of his bathrobe and put on casual clothes, then shaved himself, tidied up his hair that was a little scattered by the hair dryer, and then walked towards the garage.

Driving again was completely different from before. The low-speed driving of forty or fifty yards completely rendered this "fierce horse" useless.

But Tang Ze didn't need to drive so fast. He just drove lazily and came downstairs to the company.

I didn't think about entering the company. After all, I had to accept the respectful looks and bows from the employees all the way and those uncomfortable rules. Tangze didn't like that.

But the whole society is like this. Tangze can't let the company become an outlier, so he might as well try to avoid these hypocritical politenesses.

I ordered a cup of coffee from the coffee shop downstairs. I added milk and sugar to make it not bitter at all, more like milk tea. Tangze drank it slowly.

Paired with a small plate of exquisite matcha-flavored cookies, the light tea flavor and slight bitterness make the coffee even more delicious. Of course, on the surface, Tang Ze was simply drinking coffee and passing the time, but in fact he was "reading".

After all, there was quite a lot of knowledge about the previous lottery, and although some of it had been received, it had not yet been transformed into something of his own. From time to time, Tangze would choose some knowledge to "review the past and learn the new."

Time always flies by when you have something to do. Just when Tangze was "in a daze" with concentration, the knocking sound from the desktop brought his attention back to reality.

Looking up, Karasawa saw Ayako standing by the table with a smile on her face.

"Here? Let's go then." Karasawa put down the coffee, stood up and left the seat, while Ayako pinched a cookie and ate it while following Karasawa out of the coffee shop.

Karasawa drove, and the two of them came to the Suzuki family's mansion while chatting.

After parking the car, the two entered the house and walked to the living room. They found that the Suzuki couple were already sitting on the sofa with Suzuki Jiroyoshi, chatting.

"You two are here." Suzuki Jirokichi smiled and waved after seeing the two of them: "Come and sit down quickly, I want to tell you carefully about what I gained from going to the Bear Country this time."

"What did Uncle Jiroji buy for his collection this time?" Ayako teased: "It won't be another gem, right? If that's the case, Kaitou Kid might find it and return it in the future."

"Hahaha, with Karasawa, the famous "Kidd Nemesis" here, even if that little thief comes around, he will definitely come back in vain!"

Suzuki Jiroji smiled and said with a smile: "But we can deal with the thief next time. After all, the collection I brought back this time is not a gem, but a precious oil painting."

"Oil painting?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and became slightly interested: "Whose is it?"

After all, he also studied painting in his previous life. Although he was stuck at the A-level threshold without making any progress, it was an important part of his life after all, and he was still very interested in everyone's paintings.

"Vladimir Ivan's work "Mirror Lake"~"

Suzuki Jirokichi touched his beard and said with some pride: "This legend is the lover of Queen Catherine I of the Bear Country. He is also a court painter. Several of the queen's self-portraits were painted by him."

After hearing this, Karasawa searched his mind for knowledge about painting, and found that, as expected, this was also the new history after Steins;Gate changed the world line.

But to say it is a legend is actually just a rumor. Maybe it was a smear campaign by the Queen's enemies at that time. However, this rumor has not been confirmed in the history of the Furry Bear Country.

But putting aside these rosy rumors, as a palace painter and the queen's exclusive portrait painter, the other party's level is definitely above level A.

At this point, Tang Ze's understanding is gone. After all, this is just one of many outstanding painters. Tang Ze's paintings also have a little historical knowledge, and are not specialized antique appreciation.

But he didn't need it, because there was someone with detailed knowledge next to him.

Under Suzuki Jirokichi's explanation, Karasawa gradually understood why the other party was so proud of getting "Mirror Lake".

Although this rumor is not known to be true or false, historically this man named Vladimir Ivan took the initiative to leave the court after the rumors fermented, and has been obsessed with painting since then.

And this work called "Mirror Lake" was the last work he painted during his lifetime.

And there is a little bit of fantasy in it, which is why "Mirror Lake" is very precious.
