Conan: A new life begins with becoming a Kamen Rider

The museum is located in the center of the city.

"What a magnificent art museum. There must be many precious works of art in it."

"Looking at it this way, it's a pity to transform it into a hotel."

Outside the door of the Rice Flower Art Museum

Looking at the magnificent art museum in front of them, Xiaolan and Conan couldn't help but sigh deeply. However, they were not the only ones who came to the art museum this time.

"This scale is just so-so. My warehouse is bigger than this one."

Compared to Conan and Xiaolan's admiration, Miss Sonoko was a little confused with her hands on her shoulders. She couldn't see what was so special about this art museum.

Conan and Xiaolan couldn't help but feel tired when they met Sonoko by chance on the road and insisted on following her.

Xiaolan turned to look at Sonoko helplessly and said, "Sonoko, you don't have to come with me, right? Conan and I are here because we have received a commission, why are you here?"

"Haha, Xiaolan, you are asking even though you already know the answer."

The corners of Sonoko's mouth curled up slightly, and then after making sure that there were no people around, she put her hands on her hips and approached Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, when are you going to give me an answer? I have kept my mouth shut and have not told anyone. Now I am so depressed that I feel uncomfortable. So if it is convenient, please tell me right now, okay!"

"Yes..."

Looking at the full-blown Sonoko in front of her, Xiaolan's temples were sweating uncontrollably.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko, let's go in quickly. The director is already standing at the door to greet us."

Just as Xiaolan was thinking about how to tell Sonoko in a tactful way, Conan suddenly greeted her in a baby voice. Xiaolan looked in the direction of Conan's finger and saw that Director Ochiai was already standing outside the art museum.

"Sorry, Sonoko, we'll go first!"

Xiaolan didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed Conan and ran towards the door of the art museum without giving Sonoko a chance to react.

Looking at the backs of Xiaolan and Conan walking away, Sonoko's eyes were filled with flames!

"Very good, Xiaolan, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. I must find out the truth today no matter what!"

The next moment, Sonoko ran a hundred meters to catch up.

——————————————————————

“I’m sorry, Director Ochiai, but my good friend really wanted to come and see it, so we went along.”

“It’s okay. The museum welcomes all guests who love art, and there’s nothing wrong with having one more guest.”

Faced with Xiaolan’s apology, Director Ochiai still smiled and waved his hand, then volunteered to act as a guide and began to introduce each piece of art like a treasure.

“This piece is said to be a porcelain from Shenzhou. Because it was found in a noble tomb in Western Europe, it is speculated to be the result of cultural exchange.”

“I read in a book that it should be the legendary Silk Road. Many works of art in Shenzhou were exported to the world in this way.”

“Yes, little girl, you are really knowledgeable.”

Xiaolan’s academic gene was acting up at this moment. While listening carefully to Director Ochiai’s explanation, she would occasionally draw inferences based on the knowledge she had learned by herself, which made Director Ochiai’s smile even brighter.

Listening to the professional terms that kept coming out of Director Ochiai and Xiaolan's mouth, Sonoko suddenly felt her head getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart; [Really, they didn't give me a chance to interrupt, and this is more torturous than class! ]

While muttering in her heart, Sonoko's eyes were on Conan, and she saw that the other party had a relaxed smile on his face and nodded from time to time.

[The kids nowadays are really scary. They can actually listen to such boring things. ]

"Director Ochiai! Haha! You are really here~"

Just as Conan and the other two were listening to Director Ochiai's explanation, a powerful shout suddenly echoed in the quiet art museum.

Conan and the other two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a sturdy middle-aged man wearing luxury goods walking over with big strides.

"Boss Manaka, why are you here today."

Seeing the nouveau riche boss Manaka appear, Director Ochiai's facial muscles trembled for a moment, but then he walked up politely and said hello.

"Of course I have to come and take a good look. After all, construction will start in a while.

I don't know where to put these junk at that time, hahaha!"

At the end of his words, Mr. Manaka raised his head and laughed loudly, not noticing that Director Ochiai's dry palms had clenched tightly.

After a few simple words, Mr. Manaka left the exhibition hall without looking back, and Director Ochiai waited until the other's back disappeared before slowly turning to look at Xiaolan and his group.

"Sorry everyone, I have something to deal with, so I have to leave for a while."

Xiaolan: "It's okay, we'll just walk around first, and we'll contact you if there's anything."

Director Ochiai nodded slightly: "Okay, my office is at the end of the corridor, just turn right, and if there's nothing special, I'll work inside."

After explaining, Director Ochiai left the exhibition hall with a half-hunched back.

Conan: "It seems that Mr. Manaka should be the big boss who bought this art museum. ”

Sonoko curled her lips in disdain: "What big boss? He's just a real estate developer with a little money. If he dares to be presumptuous, I will buy his company with my pocket money in a minute."

[Haha, she is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group. She speaks with confidence.]

"Gurgle~"

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in her stomach, and Sonoko covered her stomach with a pale face. "Oh no... I suddenly have a stomachache, I need to go to the bathroom!"

Even if she is a rich lady, she can't avoid the problem of urgent needs. Sonoko gritted her teeth and followed the route instructions in the museum, trotting to the direction of the bathroom.

Xiaolan said worriedly: "Shinichi, I'm a little worried about Sonoko. Can you go out and buy some anti-diarrhea medicine?"

"Leave it to me. "

Conan made an OK gesture and then walked out of the museum, while Xiaolan went to the bathroom to check on Sonoko.

On the way out, Conan inadvertently heard a conversation between several museum employees.

"I don't know where Kubota has gone again. This lazy guy is really shameful!"

"By the way, many artworks in the museum have disappeared recently, and when we counted them last night, a snakeskin bag in the warehouse was missing."

"I don't know if you have heard the rumor that Kubota secretly resold the museum's artworks. Could it be that he met a tough guy this time and was sunk into Tokyo Bay? "

Buzz!

Hearing the conversation between the museum staff, Conan suddenly had a flash of lightning in his mind! He immediately stopped and took out the photo that he had put in his pocket to examine it carefully.

Looking at the sly face of Kubota in the photo, Conan remembered why he felt familiar. It turned out to be the man who turned gray in front of him in the alley!

Wait! Reselling artworks...

This clue suddenly flashed through Conan's mind, and at the same time he recalled the scene in the alley at that time. The squid Ophiino carefully picked up a snakeskin bag, and a crisp sound came from it.

[Could it be him!]

An idea suddenly popped up in Conan's mind, and then he ran all the way to the director's office.
