Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 424: Girl's Day Doll II

"Wow, it's set up so quickly."

The housewife of Guanye returned to the Japanese room with tea, and was surprised to see that the seven shelves had been set up without any mistakes.

"It's amazing, Ayumi, you have passed the full score."

Ayumi held her little hand and said in anticipation: "Then can all these dolls be given to Ayumi?"

"Of course," the housewife smiled softly, "I'll send it to you by courier right away."

"Great!"

"I'll say thank you to grandma later..."

"Ok!"

Gao Cheng chuckled and looked at the happy Ayumi, and asked the housewife in a low voice: "Mrs. Kanye, is there any other dolls like this for Girls' Day?"

"What?" the housewife laughed, "Kito-kun is also interested in dolls?"

"I just want to prepare a set at home." Gao Cheng looked at Xiao Ai who was standing next to the doll with her hands behind her back. "If possible, I would like to ask you to buy a set. Money is not a problem..."

Just now he also had a little understanding of the Guanye family. The housewife in front of him was named Guanye Setsuko, 43 years old, except for the slight crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she looked very kind. Youjia's Aunt Jimmy is quite similar, plus she is so kind to children, she is a person worth entrusting.

"Is that so, is it for my younger sister at home?" The housewife smiled understandingly, "But my mother-in-law personally arranged these in Kyoto, I will ask you later..."

"Idiot," Xiao Ai walked to the side and glared at Gao Cheng, "Where is there a place to put these things at home? Besides, there are no children..."

The housewife stared blankly at Xiao Ai who spoke like an adult, with a messy expression on her face.

"Jo-kido-kun, is this your child?"

"Uh... that's right."

Gao Cheng watched Xiao Ai walk away, coughed lightly and didn't mention the Girl's Day doll again.

Afterwards, I should ask Guan Yejia for help. He still has hundreds of thousands of private money in his hands. No matter how expensive this set of Girl's Day dolls is, it should be enough, right?

"But,

Guang Yan looked at the arranged dolls and the unpacked cardboard boxes all over the floor, "Should we just put them away like this?" "

Yuan Tai was so tired that he sat down on the ground: "It was finally arranged..."

"Wait a little longer."

With an excited little face, Ayumi took out a camera from her backpack.

"Let's take a picture before we put it away. I brought my father's digital camera... Brother Kido wants to come too!"

"I?"

Gao Cheng knelt with a few children in front of the Doll's Day doll stand with a bitter face, and forced a smile to put his arms around the little chubby Mrs. Guan Ye to take a photo. Even so, it still looked a little funny.

Mitsuhiko and Genta smirked, Conan looked at the camera dumbly, and Ayumi sat in the middle blushing... When the photo was frozen, Xiao Ai squinted her eyelids and looked at Gao Cheng, who was half a body taller beside her.

After the housewife Guan Ye pressed the shutter, she couldn't help smiling. At this moment, the doorbell suddenly sounded from the entrance, as if there were other guests visiting.

"Then I'll leave it to you..."

After returning the digital camera to Ayumi, the housewife hurried to the entrance to open the door. Two middle-aged men visited. Mie Yoshiharu, 55 years old, with a sickly, shoehorn face and glasses, is an expert in antique appraisal.

"Mr. Jindian, my husband should have told you clearly about that..."

"Yes, yes, but I still want to try, so today I invited an appraisal expert to talk to you..."

Gao Cheng took a few more photos of Ayumi and the others with a digital camera, and frowned slightly when he heard voices coming from the direction of the living room.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he and Conan are indeed equivalent to the God of Plague in a sense, and they have encountered too many murders.

To be honest, his first impression of Guan Yejia was not bad, and he really didn't want to have another tragedy like before, but wasn't the visitor's arrival too coincidental?

Appraisal expert Sanzhong happened to follow the housewife to the Japanese-style room, saw the neatly arranged dolls on the shelf, and said unexpectedly: "These dolls are so beautiful..."

The housewife looked embarrassed but she didn't want to chase away the guests, so she forced a smile and said: "These are works of famous masters in Kyoto."

"Oh?"

Triple pushed the glasses curiously and moved closer to the doll: "The craftsmanship is really good, it is indeed a famous dealer..."

The bald fat man followed behind, and asked kindly, "I don't know how much it will cost you to give it to me?"

"Ah?" Ayumi asked nervously, "Do you want to buy these dolls?!"

"You're late, uncle!"

Yuantai and the others protected the dolls: "These have been given to Ayumi!"

The bald fat man laughed and said, "I don't have a daughter, why do I need these dolls? And I'm not interested in dolls, what I want to buy is the scroll next to the doll stand..."

The fat man eagerly pointed to a painting hanging on the wall next to him: "This is the God of Thunder painted by the painter Tieshan in the Edo period. I have a pair of Fengshen scrolls with it, so I want to get them together anyway... "

The wild housewife said helplessly: "But my husband said that he would not sell it, and we don't think it is worth that much money..."

"Don't you all know the value of this scroll?" The fat man was surprised. "Don't you know how much insurance money your deceased father-in-law voted for? It's 20 million! 20 million!!"

The wild housewife was taken aback: "Ah? So many?!"

"Of course, that's why I came up with double the price to buy it from your husband..." the fat man persuaded, "And, Mrs. Guanye, this way of keeping the painting will only reduce the value of the painting, so it's better to sell it to me." A professional collector would be wiser..."

"But, but my husband..."

"I didn't want to say it at first. I heard that your husband lost a lot of money in stocks this time. Now it's a good time to sell..."

"We won't sell it!" The old lady Guanye came and interrupted, "Even if we owe money..."

Seeing the stern-faced old woman, the fat man shrugged his shoulders: "Then I will visit Mr. Guanye again tonight when he comes back. I think he will definitely nod, because this money can just make up for his losses in stocks."

"40 million..." Gao Cheng then looked at the paintings on the wall.

I really don’t see anything special about it, it’s just a funny monster, even a bit ugly, he’s seen a lot in Gintama World Edo Castle, and he’s even been used as a table mat...

These what collectors are crazy.

But with such a huge sum of money, Mr. Guan Ye, who is short of money, probably won't be able to refuse it when he returns home...

After the bald fat man and the experts left, Gao Cheng didn't bring a group of children home, and he didn't even put away the Dolls' Day dolls that had been set up.

The dolls put out again after many years aroused the old woman's memory, and finally Ayumi decided to put the dolls at Kanye's house before the end of this year's Doll's Day.

"Mom hasn't seen these arranged dolls for ten years." The housewife looked at the gray-haired old woman distressedly, turned to Ayumi and said, "Anyway, you are not in a hurry to go back, let my mother please How about some rum, everyone?"

The old woman came back from her memories: "But Setsuko, haven't you run out of distiller's grains?"

"Ah?" The wild housewife was stunned for a moment, looked at her watch and said, "I'm going to the rally soon...Is there any wine lees in the house?"

"It doesn't matter," Ayumi said proactively, "Let's go buy it, the supermarket is nearby."

"That's really troublesome for you."

A group of people left Guanye's house, but Gao Cheng stopped outside the door and did not follow. He just silently watched the housewife close the door and hurried away.

"Brother Kido?" Ayumi turned around strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"You guys go first, I still have something to do."
