Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 33 The powerful old man suddenly attacked the shark man, but failed (3)

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?" Director Ochiai stopped and looked at the handsome young man curiously and asked.

"It's about the ownership of the Ling Art Museum. Let me discuss it with you first!" Hua Lantian said confidently.

When Director Ochiai heard someone adding fuel to the fire, his emotions, which had been difficult to calm down, suddenly surged up again. "Young man, enjoy your visit with peace of mind. There will be nothing else to see in the future. We don't need to bother you with our internal affairs!!!"

Then he pulled up Iijima, who was about to rush up to have a "friendly exchange" with him, and the two of them quickly left.

"Ah, this..." Hua Lantian stood there in a daze. Before he could stop him, Director Ochiai walked out at an extraordinary speed.

Hua Lantian could only complain in his heart: No way, Director Ochiai, I just wanted to understand the situation so that I could help you solve the problem better, but you don’t want to talk about it anymore. It seems that I can only follow the original plan and let you go and chop that Manaka to scare him. Poor Manaka, if I didn’t stop you in time, you would have died here.

Forget it, I should have said it sooner, but maybe I did it on purpose, just to teach that Boss Manaka a lesson and stop being so arrogant. ???

Conan, who was originally uninterested and then complained about Kubota, now laughed out loud with schadenfreude when he saw Hua Lantian's failed costume, "Hahahaha...!"

Several people looked at Conan who was laughing wildly in surprise, "Conan, what are you laughing at?" Hua Lantian looked at him kindly and said.

Conan suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and he took two steps back feeling guilty. He scratched his head and said, "No, no, I just thought of something interesting, Brother Lantian, ahahahaha..."

"Oh~ I see, well, little brother Conan is still a child, it's normal. For example, he often can't control his urine and laughs, which is normal, isn't it, hahahaha!"

Hua Lantian touched Conan's dog head, rubbed it hard, and said meaningfully. Then he said hello to everyone and said that he was going to discuss something with Director Ochiai. He left first and would call him if there was anything. Finally, he left with a big laugh.

Conan straightened his messed-up hair, then rubbed his sore head and cursed inwardly: "Damn Hua Lantian, he must have done it on purpose! Damn it! If I hadn't become smaller, I wouldn't have tolerated your bullying like this!"

"Okay, let's continue looking for the moving knight armor. If you find it, there will be a prize, everyone!" Sonoko raised her arms and activated the Suzuki Release - the ability to make money.

At the same time, she has not forgotten the reason why she came to this medieval art gallery in the first place.

"Reward?! As you command, Miss Sonoko, I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will definitely find that moving armor. I will not be afraid of any monsters or demons until I achieve your goal!"

When Kogoro Mouri heard that Sonoko was going to give him a reward, he thought it would be at least a luxurious meal, so he quickly showed his "loyalty", then made a gentlemanly salute and waited on the spot.

"Dad...!" Xiaolan said speechlessly looking at her father.

"Don't worry, Xiaolan, nothing will happen to Uncle Maori. Don't worry, Uncle Maori, even if we don't find the truth, I will treat you to a luxurious meal!"

Yuanzi waved his hand indifferently and then promised.

"Well, let's go, guys!" Yuanzi walked away first and headed to the exhibition hall below.

"Conan, Conan! Let's go, why are you still in a daze...!" Xiaolan walked over and called Conan a few times, then pulled him up and dragged him away.

"Ah, oh, okay, let's go, Sister Xiaolan!" Conan reacted and could only let Xiaolan pull him away.

They wandered around several exhibition halls, seeing some rather large statues, models, and stained glass windows...

Then they arrived outside the Hell Exhibition Hall. Looking at the No Entry sign in front of them, Xiaolan opened the map and took a look. She said curiously:

"That's weird. There should be another room in front of this one, right?"

"Okay, forget about that, let's just go around in a circle!" Kogoro Mouri said impatiently.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Maori, maybe the moving armor is inside this, and it's very likely moving right now~"

Yuanzi came forward and said mysteriously with a teasing smile.

"Oh, really?! Then let's go in and find out, Miss Sonoko!"

When Kogoro Mouri heard that he could find the truth, he hurriedly tried to break through the signboard and rush in.

"Dad, what are you talking about! Let's go!"

When Xiaolan saw that Mouri Kogoro didn't want to follow the rules, she grabbed him and dragged him away. Mouri Kogoro could only helplessly grab at the air with his claws and teeth.

Looking at the funny Kogoro Mouri, Conan and Sonoko all sighed and thought, what kind of retired policeman dad is this? He is being controlled by his own daughter.

As they left, they had no idea that at that moment, a scene of medieval armor scrambling was actually happening in the Hell exhibition hall.

In a dimly lit hell exhibition hall, Boss Manaka was looking at his watch to check the time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

What he had no idea was that he was not the only one in the Hell Exhibition Hall at this moment. There was also a moving armor and Hua Lantian who was hiding not far away from them and observing the situation.

Just when he was still wondering, suddenly there was a "click...!" sound of metal friction.

He subconsciously looked back, and suddenly a horrifying scene came to his mind. The man in armor who had been standing still had raised his sword, ready to chop at him.

He stepped back suddenly, but it seemed as if someone was holding him back, preventing him from leaving. At this moment, a cold voice rang in his ears.

"Give up the art gallery! Give up the art gallery! It doesn't belong to you! Otherwise you will be judged by a knight! Just like that painting!"

He was already very panicked, because at this moment he felt that there was a human creature behind him dragging him backwards at an incredible speed.

Because with his weight, ordinary people could not drag him, but the creature behind him could do it so easily, and the movement of the creature in front was not stiff at all when it tried to cut his armor, which had to make him very frightened.

As he retreated, he caught a glimpse of a huge painting hanging on the wall. It showed a knight nailing a man to the wall, with a sword piercing his throat and blood flowing.

He suddenly broke out in a sweat. If he was just a little scared just now, he was almost scared to death now. However, for a black-hearted capitalist, this was not enough to scare him to death. But now he wanted to give up this art museum. There were other art museums, but he only had one life.

Just as he was still struggling, the creatures behind him seemed to have suddenly lost their strength and their speed slowed down. Seeing this, the armored man sped up, pounced on him, and stabbed him in the face with a sword.

The knight's sharp sword narrowly grazed his face, but he dodged the fatal blow with all his might. Now he was completely convinced that this was not a dream.

He quickly curled up his body and moved backwards, his nose and tears running. He clasped his hands together, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy:

"Please, my Lord Knight, don't judge me, don't judge me, I give up this art gallery, I give up this art gallery, I will leave immediately, I will leave immediately!"

Hearing his words, the knight obviously hesitated for a moment, but he seemed unwilling to give up and continued to move forward with his sword in hand.

Seeing that it was not working at all, Boss Manaka looked as pale as death and was waiting for his own death.

"Mr. Knight, you're going too far. They've already given up on the art gallery, so it won't have any impact on your gallery, nor will it affect your boarding. Yet you're still pressing me. I guess I have to teach you a lesson!"

At this time, a voice that Boss Zhenzhong had never heard of appeared out of nowhere. He looked behind him, and at this time a handsome young man appeared leisurely. It was our old Liuhua Lantian.

(Just think that the protagonist was just pretending to be a ghost, so he didn't see it clearly.)

"Save me, save me, handsome man, didn't we just meet? Please save me, I will definitely repay you!"

Boss Zhenzhong seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He quickly crawled to Hua Lantian and begged him to save him.

"No problem, Boss Manaka, I can save you. This little knight ghost is nothing to worry about! Watch me defeat him!"

Hua Lantian smiled confidently, then took the initiative to strike, knocking Boss Manaka unconscious with a horizontal chop. The last words Boss Manaka could hear before he passed out were:

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Boss Manaka. I accidentally hit the wrong person. It's okay, you'll wake up naturally soon. And the scene was a bit bloody, so you might as well get some sleep...!"

"Ah, ah, uh..." Boss Manaka groaned, then his head tilted and he fainted.

The armored knight looked at the scene in front of him in confusion. He had just recognized that the voice was the voice of the young man who added fuel to the fire before he was about to implement his plan, but he still didn't understand what the young man was trying to do.

"Okay, the person who was in the way has passed out. We can talk now, Mr. Moving Medieval Armored Knight. No, I should call you Mr. Director Ochiai!"

Hua Lantian threw Boss Manaka aside. Boss Manaka groaned, then drooled and fainted. He walked into the Armored Knight.

"What?! How could you, how could you know that?! Who are you, young man?!"

Director Ochiai looked at Hua Lantian who was pressing him step by step and asked in disbelief. At the same time, he also admitted that he was Director Ochiai.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hua Lantian! I'm a detective, no, bah, a financier."

Hua Lantian almost slipped up while speaking, then he smiled awkwardly, took out his business card from his pocket and handed it forward.

The armored knight, no, Director Ochiai reached out to take the business card, then lifted up his helmet so that he could better see the contents on the business card. At this point, he could no longer pretend.

……

"You, you are?! You're the new Japanese stock god! Excuse me, but who are you looking for...?"

Director Ochiai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the young man he saw was the new Japanese stock god he had heard of before. Although he dealt with the works in the art museum every day, he still paid attention to some of the news occasionally.

He was a little unsure of Hua Lantian's purpose in looking for him, but he suddenly remembered that the young man seemed to want to talk to him about the ownership of the art museum. Could it be that he intended to buy the art museum? He couldn't make a decision now, so he could only throw out some ideas.

"Yes, that's me. I wanted to talk to you about the art museum, but maybe I chose the wrong time, so I accidentally added fuel to the fire. I'm sorry, Director Ochiai."

"I'm looking for you because I want to buy this art museum and revitalize it. The spiritual development of humanity is essential. We can't just focus on making money all the time...! And I don't want you to get yourself into this for this black-hearted capitalist..."

Hua Lantian talked eloquently, leaving Director Ochiai stunned.

Although he didn't quite understand what he heard, Director Ochiai understood the general meaning of Hua Lantian. He wanted to buy the Medieval Art Museum and revitalize it. This was really great!

But he was still a little worried about whether Boss Manaka would agree to this. He asked, "But, Boss Manaka might not agree..."

"Boss Manaka, look at him, he's terrified. He'll definitely agree. I'll let the Suzuki Group handle this matter, and he won't be able to suspect my intentions...!"

Hua Lantian said this sarcastically, and then told him that the girl with the headband outside was the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. She and she were good friends, and she also had cooperation with the Suzuki Group, so there was no need to worry at all.

"That's good, that's good, thank you so much, Mr. Hua!" Director Ochiai took off his armor at an incredible speed, put it back in place, tidied it up, and then returned to Hua Lantian, holding his hand tightly and thanking him.

"Ah, you're welcome, you're welcome, you don't have to be like this, Director Ochiai... ahahahaha..."

Hua Lantian pulled his hand out, touched his head, and said a little embarrassedly, while secretly sighing: As expected of an old man who can still move medieval armor at such an old age, his hand strength is quite strong.

Then the two of them pulled Boss Manaka out of the Hell Exhibition Hall, and Director Ochiai took away the no-entry sign.

They threw Boss Manaka onto a stool right near the entrance of the exhibition hall. They didn't hold back on this kind of person, and throwing him down would also help him wake up faster.

"Here, Director Ochiai, plug this into the surveillance computer. It will undo what we just did."

Hua Lantian took out a USB flash drive, handed it to Director Ochiai, and then said.

(This is really black technology, not Kotech. ( ̄w ̄;))

Director Ochiai took the USB drive with gratitude and went to deal with this matter first.

Hua Lantian returned to the scene to deal with any human traces, making the scene appear as if it were a supernatural event as much as possible.

The two of them finished their work quickly and then gathered together. Hua Lantian and Director Ochiai explained what to do next.

"We just need to wait for him to wake up. He might not believe what just happened. We can take him back to the scene and take a look. If that doesn't work, we can just show him the tampered surveillance footage. Then, I'll tell him that Miss Suzuki wants to buy this art gallery and I'm the one who made the request on her behalf. He won't doubt that Miss Suzuki would do something like this to intimidate him. Then our plan will be successful!"

"Okay, I understand. Let's wake him up first..."

Director Ochiai nodded and prepared to slap Boss Manaka twice.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki family, to come over first. We'll wake her up then. Sonoko's purpose this time is to find out the truth about the moving armor. She won't be able to see the armor anymore, but it's okay to let her experience it..."

Hua Lantian stopped him and then called Yuanzi. When Yuanzi heard about this, she came without thinking. She didn't expect that she would be used by Hua Lantian and others. Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't have any objections, as she was a helpful person.

Soon Sonoko came with the Mori family. They almost burst out laughing when they saw Boss Manaka's face swollen like a pig's head. Boss Manaka had been woken up. Regarding the burning feeling on his face, he was told that he was accidentally injured during the fight. He had no choice, after all, someone saved his life.

Then everyone toured the old place. As they watched, Conan always felt as if he had missed something, and he always had a strange feeling, but he didn't think much about it. After all, there was no performance to be achieved today.

Although Boss Zhenzhong was still a little bit unconvinced in the end, he sold the art museum to him after some deception from Hua Lantian. Of course, Hua Lantian still gave him a little more compensation, but it was not much.

They also agreed on a time to formally deal with this matter, and at that time Hua Lantian would also tell Director Ochiai about the plan to revitalize the art museum.

He had been asked to go home and rest for the time being. Although he was incredibly powerful, manipulating medieval armor at such an old age was taking its toll on his health. Hua Lantian had asked him to go back and rest, and if necessary, get a checkup. He couldn't let the art museum go down before it was even revitalized. Director Ochiai had no choice but to agree.

Finally, everyone left the Museum of Medieval Art with a warm farewell from Director Ochiai and Iijima...
