Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

late at night.

Medieval Art Museum.

Between Hell.

Two security guards were patrolling. One of them, a thin man, used a flashlight to illuminate the exhibits. All he saw were terrifying demon statues that made him shudder.

"I don't want to tour the art gallery at night at all! Especially this hell, it's so spooky and weird."

Another tall and strong security guard was unconcerned. "If you're afraid, then don't be a security guard."

At this time, there was a rustling sound behind the two of them.

"Did you hear anything?"

The thin security guard was already scared, and after hearing this, his body began to tremble, "Senior, please don't scare me!"

"No, no, there is indeed a sound."

The tall and strong security guard brought the thin security guard to a room.

"The sound came from here."

squeak~

The two men pushed open the door.

"Who? Who's in there?"

Wow~wow~

There was a sound of clattering armor.

The two men shone their flashlights over there and saw a man in armor holding a sword walking towards them, his eyes seeming to be glowing red.

"what--"

……

Xiaolan vividly tells Conan and Maori Kogoro the strange stories about the art museum.

"Recently, this news has spread around the neighborhood!" Xiaolan was inexplicably excited. "Let's go to that art gallery together!"

"Hahahahaha!"

After a brief silence, Kogoro Mouri and Conan both burst into laughter.

"Sister Xiaolan, medieval armor that can walk on its own is obviously used to trick children!"

"Lan, that must be a story the museum made up to attract visitors."

As Kogoro Mouri was talking, he thought of Kitagawa Taki's previous exorcism, and he felt a little unconfident.

The two of them immediately wanted to pee.

boom!

Xiaolan knocked the desk down with one punch and said with a gentle smile, "Are you two going or not?"

Maori Kogoro and Conan looked at the badly damaged desk and swallowed, "Go, go!"

……

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

Sonoko and Kitagawa Taki were chatting, and Sonoko was talking about the interesting things that happened recently in school.

Jingle bell~

Kitagawa Taki made an apologetic gesture and immediately answered the phone, "Hello, Kitagawa Exorcism Agency."

"Art gallery? Okay, I'll come over this afternoon."

"Taki, do you have any commission?" Sonoko looked expectant.

Beichuan Taki nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Manaka, the owner of the Nakashi Art Museum, said that his museum seems to be haunted and wants me to go take a look."

It turned out that Boss Manaka bought a poorly managed art museum and planned to convert it into a hotel in ten days. However, rumors of hauntings have now appeared. He did not want this to affect the future business of the hotel, so he asked around and finally found Kitagawa Taki.

Sonoko said, "I want to go too, can I?"

Beichuan Taki readily agreed, "Of course, it's getting late now, let's eat first and go in the afternoon."

Art museum owner? Kitagawa Taki is likely to make a killing this time.

……

On the other side, Conan and his friends took a car to the Medieval Art Museum.

The Medieval Art Museum is quite large and is divided into the Great Hall, the Sky Room, the Earth Room, the Sea Room, and the Hell Room.

The group met the museum's director, Director Ochiai, in the lobby.

Director Ochiai was probably in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a long white beard.

Seeing that Xiaolan really liked the collections here, Director Ochiai took the initiative to talk to her and let them appreciate them slowly.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that museum employee Kubota was touching the artwork without wearing gloves. He immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Kudata, how many times do I have to tell you? You must wear gloves when handling artwork!"

The man named Kubota was startled and apologized quickly, but turned around with a disdainful expression.

"Just like before, there are not many people!"

At this time, a fat middle-aged man walked over.

Director Ochiai greeted him, "Boss Manaka."

Boss Manaka didn't respond, but instead said to himself, "In ten days, this place will be transformed into a restaurant. Until then, you guys just have to take care of this junk!"

"Oh, right." Boss Manaka stared at Director Ochiai and said, "I've hired an exorcist. He'll be here this afternoon. Then we'll know whether the so-called armor is human or ghost!"

He suspected that this was a trick done by the old employees of the art museum because they were dissatisfied with his plan to convert it into a restaurant.

"Exorcist?" Conan rolled his eyes. He guessed it must be Kitagawa Taki.

in the afternoon.

After strolling around the art museum for several hours, Xiaolan was still full of energy, but Conan and Mouri Kogoro were exhausted, just like the men who accompanied women shopping.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm so tired, let's go back."

Conan's small arms and legs showed that he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Yes, Ran." Kogoro Mouri echoed.

"You guys are terrible. There's one last area ahead. Since we're here, let's go through it before we leave."

Xiaolan pointed at the hell room and said.

When they came here before, there was a "No Trespassing" sign, but it was gone now.

The two of them had no choice but to follow Xiaolan in.

There is almost no light in the hell, and it is very dim.

Several people walked slowly towards the depths, where a painting titled "Heavenly Punishment" was hung on the innermost part.

The painting depicts a knight killing a demon with a sword, but the style is weird and bloody, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable when looking at it.

"This painting is so scary!" Xiaolan looked away.

“This painting is indeed not simple.”

A voice came from behind them, scaring them.

When I turned around, I found that it was Kitagawa Taki walking towards the door.

"Hey, brother Kitagawa, you're scaring me to death! Why are you here?" Mouri Kogoro was just immersed in the painting, so he was startled by Kitagawa Taki's voice.

Kitagawa Taki explained: "I received a commission from the owner of the art museum, Manaka, but when I arrived, I couldn't find him anywhere."

It turned out that Kitagawa Taki and Sonoko had arrived at the Nakadashi Museum more than ten minutes ago, but they did not see Mr. Manaka. They asked the staff but they didn't know either, so he and Sonoko started looking for him separately in the museum.

As soon as Kitagawa Taki entered hell, he discovered that "Heavenly Punishment" was tainted with the aura of evil spirits, and there was a smell of blood in the room.

Walking up to the few people, Kitagawa Taki, whose eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people, saw at a glance that someone was nailed to the wall a few meters away.

"Someone died." Kitagawa Taki said, pointing to the wall on the left.

Hearing that someone had died, Conan quickly turned on the lighting function of his watch.

A knight's sword pierced the deceased's throat and nailed him in mid-air. The walls and the ground were covered with blood. The deceased's mouth was wide open and his eyeballs bulged out. His death was extremely tragic.

Conan also noticed that although there were labels on the wall, there was no collection.

"Ah--" Xiaolan's scream echoed in the room.

Conan was horrified, "It's Boss Manaka!"

Kitagawa Taki: "What?"

"Mr. Manaka, the owner of the art museum, is the person you're looking for, Brother Kitagawa."

Among the few people, Kogoro Mouri, who used to be a detective, was relatively calm.

When Kitagawa Taki heard Kogoro Mori confirm the identity of the deceased, his mood suddenly became bad.

Shit, Boss Manaka is dead, so doesn't that mean his commissions are gone?!

Millions just flew away.
