Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

In the empty exhibition hall, half of Mouri Kogoro's family looked back in astonishment.

"Mr. Sakaki Makoto!"

Mao Lilan shouted in surprise:

"You come to see the exhibition too!"

Sakaki Cheng came forward with the Miyano sisters and smiled:

"Yes."

"I heard that this art gallery is going to close, so we took advantage of the last day to come and have a look."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who was originally uninterested and indifferent to Sakaki, noticed the Miyano sisters behind Sakaki, and his eyes gradually widened, and two red hearts appeared.

Putting his hands on his oily hair, Mouri Kogoro took out his business card:

"Two beautiful ladies, I, Mouri Kogoro, am a private detective."

Miyano Shiho looked at him coldly and did not reach out.

Seeing that she was an acquaintance of Sakaki Makoto, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She raised her hand to take the business card and said with a smile:

"I am Miyano Akemi, and this is my sister Shiho, whose name I have admired for a long time."

"I wonder if you two ladies have time to come together next time."

"dad!"

Mao Lilan was a little angry:

"They are Mr. Sakaki's companions!"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Sakaki Makoto and withdrew the invitation.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Sakaki, my father is so rude."

Sakaki touched his nose, took out his hand from behind, and shook his head with a dry smile:

"It's okay, I'm not angry."

Just kidding, who are the Miyano sisters?

Even if Mouri Kogoro invites them, they will only be disappointed in the end.

"Are these two your friends?"

Mao Lilan was a little curious. If there was only one girl, she would definitely think that the other girl was Sakaki Cheng's girlfriend.

But two people

The relationship needs to be examined.

"Yes, they are my friends."

Sakaki Makoto pushed up his sunglasses, knocked on Conan who was staring at the Miyano sisters intently, leaned down and said:

"Boy, long time no see."

“Don’t look where you shouldn’t.”

A slight voice came from his ears. Conan's body trembled and he quickly defended:

"I didn't look at it!"

"Why are you here at the art museum?"

Sakaki looked at him deeply and said calmly:

"Besides watching the exhibition, is there anything else you can do in the art museum?"

Of course Conan knows Miyano Shiho, this is not the first time they have met.

That day in front of Kudo Residence, Miyano Shiho stood behind Sakaki Makoto.

But

What are they doing in the art museum?

Are the people in the black organization so idle?

Could it be that the strange story Xiaolan said was caused by the black organization?

Conan fell into thought.

"ah!"

"I see!"

Mao Lilan clapped her hands and said excitedly:

"Mr. Sakaki Makoto was entrusted to solve the case, right?"

"Crack the case?"

Sakaki was stunned:

"What case was solved?"

"Of course it's a case of medieval armor walking on its own!"

Mao Lilan said:

"Don't you know about this rumor, Mr. Sakaki?"

"Haha, how can the armor walk on its own?"

Sakaki Cheng explained with a smile:

"There must be someone inside, coming out to scare people or something like that."

Sakaki Cheng had heard too many rumors about armors walking, pianos playing music by themselves, and mannequins dancing.

Just four words:

Pretend to be a ghost.

Sugarcane!

The crisp sound of gold and iron clashing came from behind, and several people looked back.

I saw a staff member with a skinny, skeleton-like face carrying a knight's armor.

As written on the sign outside the door, this museum, whether it is the paintings hanging on the wall or the statues on display, were produced in the Middle Ages.

After one glance, Sakaki looked away.

"Miss Maori, let's continue visiting the exhibition."

"good."

It was a rare date, and Sakaki didn't want to be disturbed by others.

Miyano Shiho looked at the semi-realistic and semi-abstract paintings on the wall and suddenly said:

"Do you know why medieval painting exhibitions are not popular with everyone?"

The words were spoken to Sakaki Cheng. Sakaki Cheng thought for a moment and replied:

"Because medieval art belongs to a very awkward period."

“In front of us are ancient Greece with elegant art and lifelike statues, and ancient Rome with huge and magnificent architecture.”

"Then there was the Renaissance era, when masters emerged one after another and famous paintings continued to flow."

"The glory of these two golden ages completely overshadowed the glory of the Middle Ages."

Like ordinary people, Sakaki doesn't know much about European history, only a few more prominent periods.

“That’s true”

The old voice came closer and closer.

An old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who looked exactly like a white-browed Taoist priest, came over.

With that kind of output, I don’t know how many programmers are envious.

He hunched over, looked up at the paintings on the wall, and sighed faintly:

“When talking about ancient Europe, the first thing that comes to mind is Rome, Greece or the Renaissance.”

"Few people pay attention to the Middle Ages, known as the Dark Ages."

"But it was precisely during the dark times that countless treasures were born in the Middle Ages."

The well-known knight was also born in the Middle Ages.

Sakaki looked at the old man and asked:

"Who are you."

"I am the director of this art museum, my surname is Ochiai."

There was a deep sadness in the old man's eyes, and he kept sighing when he looked at the painting.

"You must like these paintings very much."

Miyano Shiho asked.

"In my eyes, these paintings are just like my own children. What parent in the world doesn't love their children?"

The old man put his hands behind his back and sighed:

"What a pity."

"This art gallery will be closed tomorrow."

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter came:

"You actually treasure these broken copper and rotten iron!"

A middle-aged man in a beige suit walked into the hall, his tone full of sarcasm.

When the middle-aged man appeared, Sakaki Makoto saw the old man's hands clenched suddenly.

"President Manaka, the museum will close tomorrow."

The old man's voice was low.

"Don't worry."

President Manaka sneered:

"Of course I will carry out the demolition work according to the time marked on the contract."

"I came here today to calculate the value of these broken copper and rotten iron, so that I can sell them and use them as funds."

After that, President Manaka left with the secretary behind him laughing.

He came and went like the wind, as if he was here to show off his power.

The arrogance was not concealed at all.

He doesn't care what others think, he just wants to make money.

"Well"

The old man's body hunched a little more:

"Today is the last day of business, you just enjoy it."

Looking at the limping and somewhat desolate back of Director Ochiai, Makoto Sakaki narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did you notice it too?"

Shiho Miyano stood side by side with him.

"Yeah"

Makoto Sakaki nodded:

"Director Ochiai always has his hands behind his back because he doesn't want people to find the blisters on his palms."

"And his strange walking posture"

Combined with the rumor that the armor walked by itself that Ran Mouri just said, Makoto Sakaki quickly reacted.

The armor in the Middle Ages was made of cast iron and was extremely heavy.

The people who wore it would first get blisters on the palms, wrists, ankles, soles of the feet, etc. that mainly touched the armor, and after a long time, the blisters would turn into calluses.

If Makoto Sakaki guessed correctly

The person who came out in armor to scare people in the middle of the night was undoubtedly Director Ochiai.
