Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 425 Girl's Day Doll 2
"Wow, it's ready so soon."

The housewife of the Kanye family returned to the Japanese room with tea, and was surprised to see that the seven-tier shelves had been set up, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"It's amazing, Ayumi, you've got a perfect score."

Ayumi grabbed her little hand and said expectantly, "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 it."

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

It’s better to ask Guan Yejia for help afterward. He still has 10,000+ private money in his hand. No matter how expensive this set of Dolls’ Day dolls is, it should be enough, right?
"But," Mitsuhiko stared at the placed dolls and the cardboard boxes that were opened all over the floor, "Is it going to be put away like this?"

Yuan Tai was so tired that he sat down on the ground: "It took a long time to set it up..."

"Wait a minute."

Ayumi excitedly 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 stared at the camera dazedly, and Ayumi sat in the middle with a blushing face... When the photo was frozen, Xiao Ai squinted her eyelids and looked at Gao Cheng, who was half a body taller beside her.

Guanye Housewife couldn't help but smile when she pressed the shutter button, when a doorbell rang suddenly from the entrance, as if another guest was visiting.

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

Guanye Housewife returned the digital camera to Ayumi and hurried to the entrance to open the door. The two middle-aged men visited, a bald fat man named Jin Qu Shuigui, 54 years old, a resident of the same apartment. The sickly thin shoehorn face with glasses is called Sanzhong Fangchun, 55 years old, an antique appraisal expert.

"Mr. Jin Dian, my husband should have made it clear to you 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 just followed the housewife to the Japanese room, saw the neatly arranged dolls on the shelf, and said unexpectedly: "These dolls are so beautiful..."

The housewife looked embarrassed but did not want to chase away guests. She forced a smile and said, "These are the works of famous Kyoto masters."

"Oh?"

Mie pushed his glasses curiously and approached the doll: "The craftsmanship is really good, it is indeed a famous master..."

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 said nervously, "Are you going to buy these dolls?!"

"You're late, uncle!"

Yuan Tai 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 want these dolls? And I'm not interested in dolls. What I want to buy is the scroll next to the doll rack..."

Fatty pointed to a painting hanging on the wall next to him eagerly: "This is the god of thunder painted by the painter Tetsuyama in the Edo period. I have a pair of scrolls for Fengshen, so I want to put them together no matter what... "

Guanye Housewife reluctantly said: "But my husband said not to sell it, and we don't think it's worth that much..."

"Don't you all know the value of this scroll?" Fatty said in surprise, "Don't you know how much insurance money your deceased referendum voted for? It's 2 million! 2 million!!"

Guanye Housewife was taken aback: "Ah? So much?!"

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

"But, but my husband..."

"I didn't want to say it. I heard that your husband lost a lot of money in stocks this time, and it is appropriate to sell it now..."

"We don't sell it!" Granny Guanye came over and interrupted, "Even if I owe money, I won't sell it..."

The fat man saw the stern old woman and shrugged: "Then I will visit Mr. Guanye when he comes back tonight. I think he will nod his head, because this money can just make up for the loss in his stock."

"4 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 doll that was put out again after many years aroused the memory of the old woman, and finally Ayumi decided to put the doll in Guanye's house before the end of this year's Girls' Festival.

"Mom hasn't seen these set up dolls for ten years," Guanye Housewife looked at the white-haired old woman distressedly, turned to Bumei and said, "Anyway, you are not in a hurry to go back, just let my mother invite How about some sweet wine, everyone?"

The old woman came back to her senses from the memory: "But Setsuko, isn't the sake lees used up?"

"Ah?" Guanye Housewife was stunned for a moment, looked at her watch and said, "I'm going to go to the rally soon...Is there any wine lees at home?"

"It doesn't matter," Ayumi took the initiative, "Let's go buy it back, 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."

　Because the full moon chapter is a bit of a headache... Do you have any good suggestions?
