Chapter 124 Chaldea Mysterious Office
After entering the office, Conan subconsciously observed the layout of the entire room.
First of all, the rough layout is almost the same as that of the Mori Detective Agency, but it is much more spacious.
There is an office chair in the middle by the window, two sofas and a coffee table in front of it, and rows of display cabinets on both sides of the wall.
However, apart from the rough layout, the specific details can be said to be completely different.
The decoration style in the office is more towards the European classical style, especially the large-area yellow-green rectangular carpet laid in the center, which undoubtedly belongs to European and American carpet culture.
In addition, offices, chairs, sofas, coffee tables, solid wood floors, and cabinets all use brown as the main color, giving people a sense of calm.
In addition, although he is not very clear about the prices of various types of furniture decoration, what is clear is that these things are definitely worth a lot of money!
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this young lady is really willing to spend money.
On the other side, after taking a tour, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but said with envy: "It's so stylishly decorated, it makes me want to renovate my old office."
"I think this is a good idea, Dad."
Hearing this, Mao Lilan supported: "Although I can't reach the level of Li Xiang, with my father's current income, as long as I work hard to save money for a month or two, it will be enough to give the office a new look, right?"
"Forget it then, I think it's actually pretty good like this now, haha!"
Hearing that it would take a month or two to live frugally, Mouri Kogoro immediately backed down, rubbed his neck and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Mao Lilan could only glance at him helplessly.
"Dad, you are."
Besides the decoration, the most eye-catching thing is the things placed on the cabinets on both sides——
In addition to a small number of books, there were more items that seemed to be related to the occult. He also saw the rune stone given to them by Fujimaru Ritsuka.
As for others, there are crystals, gems, teeth of certain animals, purple-black dust, exquisite ceremonial swords, feathers of certain birds, etc.
He doesn’t know much about these things, but After placing these things, the entire office was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
However, he remembered that Fujimaru Ritsuka had said before that he would sell some mysterious items, but now there were no prices marked on the items including the rune stones on the display cabinet, which made him a little curious.
"I didn't expect you, Ritsuka, to open a mysterious firm!"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the mysterious items on the display cabinet with relish, held her hands in front of her chest and said longingly:
"I have always been interested in things like divination, mysterious offices, and so on. This is simply my dream love shop!"
Speaking of this, she suddenly asked Fujimaru Ritsuka with great interest:
"Speaking of which, Ritsuka, do you know how to divine? Can you tell me where my Prince Charming is now?!"
"I said, Garden."
Mao Lilan reminded helplessly after hearing this:
"Don't you already have Kyogoku-senpai?"
When Mao Lilan said this, her face suddenly turned red and she said shyly: "What, what? Xiaolan, please stop talking nonsense. We haven't even gotten along yet."
Kyogoku is so awesome.
Conan began to recall that it was the man he met when he, Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko went to the beach together.
According to Xiaolan, the opponent is not only the all-Japan karate champion, but also has an astonishing record of 400 consecutive victories without defeat.
At that time, Suzuki Sonoko was almost in danger, but Kyogoku saved her and confessed to her on the spot.
He didn't know much about what happened after that, but it seemed that Yuanzi and he still had some contact after that.
However, to be able to fall in love with Sonoko, Kyogoku is really an incredible guy.
On the other side, facing Suzuki Sonoko's request, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled apologetically: "I'm not very good at divination, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
At this time, Mao Lilan also asked curiously:
"Speaking of which, Ritsuka, what are the main businesses of your firm?"
She thought for a while and replied:
"The main thing is to deal with some issues related to occultism."
"To be specific, for example, it can exorcise people from evil spirits, and purify ghosts and ghosts." "Sounds awesome!"
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up when she heard this, but when she heard the topic of ghosts and the like, Mao Lilan, who was afraid of ghosts, asked uneasily: "Hey, do ghosts and the like really exist in this world? ?”
"It must exist, otherwise why would there be ghost legends everywhere in the world!"
Suzuki Sonoko said confidently, without paying any attention to the scared look on her best friend's side.
Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but said:
"But there is no scientific basis for the existence of things like ghosts, right? And no convincing examples have been found so far."
"In this world, nothing can be explained by science, you little guy with glasses."
"but."
Suzuki Sonoko argued with Conan.
On the side, Fujimaru Ritsuka took out a bunch of golden and red hair of some kind of beast tied together, gave it to Mao Lilan, and explained with a smile: "This has sacred power and can eliminate demons. To exorcise evil spirits, if you carry it with you, it will definitely protect you from evil spirits.”
"Want to give it to me? Will it be expensive?"
"Don't worry, it's not a particularly valuable thing."
"Then you're welcome. Thank you Ritsuka."
So Mao Lilan took the gift gratefully and carefully put it into his inner pocket.
Suzuki Sonoko also actively came over and said:
"What about mine?! I have a share, right?"
"Of course, here."
"Thanks!"
Conan was a little curious about where those hairs came from, but at this moment, Dr. Ali's call from the other side interrupted his thinking.
"Ritsuka, is this icon the logo of your office?"
Everyone followed Dr. Ali's line of sight and saw a special pattern printed on the wall directly above the desk and chair.
The outermost circle of the pattern is a C-shaped branch with the right opening. Inside the branch are two circles, one thin and one thick, with a moon pattern in the middle.
However, the end of the moon pattern turned into a wave, and there was another small wave above the wave, and it broke through the two circles and came to the outside world.
Such a familiar yet unfamiliar pattern immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"It looks a bit familiar."
After Mouri Kogoro pondered for a while, he suddenly realized: "Isn't this the emblem of the United Nations!"
"It's a bit similar, but I don't think it is."
Dr. A Li denied with a smile:
"Brother Maori, please take a look again."
"emmmmmmm"
Hearing what Dr. Agasa said, Mouri Kogoro looked at the pattern again. After observing it carefully, he held his chin and muttered: "Indeed, it looks very similar at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are indeed some The place is different.”
No, it should be that only some places are the same, right?
Conan complained in his mind.
But Mouri Kogoro is right. At first glance, it is indeed very reminiscent of the United Nations emblem.
Suzuki Sonoko asked Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously:
"Ritsuka, what does this pattern mean?"
Faced with this question, she did not answer directly, but smiled playfully: "How about everyone take a guess first?"
