Chapter 829: Time for Celebrations
“Why? Of course it’s because there are too many boring guys like you.”
Tangze, who led the police over to handcuff the person away, looked down at the paralysis Tajima, who was on the ground, rolled his eyelids.
Celebrity art exhibition, guests gathered, detectives were present, and the names of the three brothers and sisters who were selected to help this time still had some faint traces of care. The buff was almost full, and Tang Ze was not vigilant. It's impossible.
This is not a question of halo or not, this is a starting point for a mystery work, just like in a horror movie, everything is fake and there are no ghosts at all. The flag is full and full of It smelled like something was going to happen.
It wasn't until his hands were surrounded by cold handcuffs that Toshiki Tajima, who was temporarily autistic due to breaking the defense, came to his senses and struggled: "You, you can't do this, I didn't want to kill anyone, I just..."
"I just want to cause some trouble for me. It's best for me to make a fool of myself on this crucial day. I can't continue to show off with the teacher." Tang Ze took the initiative to finish his words and picked up the Hands, "But how do you know it won't turn into something like you just wanted me to fall over and be disfigured, but someone else happened to play a prank, putting needles in the cushions, adding sleeping pills to the tea, etc., a series of chain The reaction ended up causing death? "
"I..." Tajima Toshiki, who was trying to reason, was stunned by his too smooth combo chant. He felt that there was something wrong with this sentence. For a moment, I don’t know how to refute, “You, you are simply arrogant...”
“Then do you have evidence to prove that what I just said will not happen? There are many uncertain things in the world. , Brother Tajima." Tangze, who had finished drawing this episode in his mind, lowered his eyes coldly and was not shaken by the other party's argument. "In the end, I just want to give the teacher's painting exhibition a perfect ending. I don’t want to leave any regrets. As for you, you know that today is such an important day, but you still think about it. Have you ever thought about the impact this will have on the teacher?”
“He’s right!” Shindou Sumire nodded vigorously, as if Kitagawa Yusuke was completely sure of the bot.
Tajima Toshiki turned his head blankly and looked at this woman who appeared out of nowhere. It seemed that he still didn't understand why someone came to slap him in the face during the middle of the sentence.
Shindo Sumire, who was approached by Kitagawa Yusuke and asked her and the accompanying detectives to help clean up the house, was still in a state of excitement. Because she unexpectedly played an unexpected role, she was filled with a sense of mission. .
Now that Kitagawa-kun has found her to help deal with it, how can she just watch silently? Toshiki Tajima is Kitagawa-kun’s senior brother no matter what. There are some things that he can’t say easily. If he found me, he must be hoping that I can say something!
With this belief, Shindo Sumire’s words were particularly sonorous and powerful.
“Why do you have the nerve to accuse Kitagawa-kun of having persecution delusions? Facts have proved that his prediction was absolutely correct. Doesn’t this mean that someone has ulterior motives and wants to cause trouble for everyone?
"And even if he is overthinking, there is nothing wrong with that. This is the art exhibition that Mr. Kisaragi has been waiting for for a long time, and it may even be the last one in his career. Facing such an important day, Kitagawa-kun worked hard to hope that You can cover everything without making any mistakes, but you are trying every possible means to cause trouble for Kitagawa-kun, completely ignoring the possibility of ruining the exhibition and ruining everyone's reputation. Isn't that the reason why Mr. Kisaragi Hosui would choose him instead of you? ?
"As for the anti-theft device..."
Speaking of this, Shindo Sumire's eyes became pitiful
She did not mean any humiliation. , stated the reality in front of him in a straightforward manner: "You yourself think that your paintings do not need to be protected against theft, because they have no such value. But this is only because of you. The prices of Kitagawa-kun’s own works in the same exhibition hall as you have been getting higher and higher in the secondary market..."
Tajima Toshiki, who originally looked angry, suddenly changed his face. His face turned blue and white, and finally he couldn't hold it any longer, and he let out an unbearable roar. He looked like he was about to cry, and even the police dragged him all the way out without paying attention. Called.
"I don't, you're talking nonsense, he's just lucky...My paintings, my paintings can also support myself..."
Tajima Toshiki's guarded nonsense did not affect the audience. Several people he left.
Waiting until his embarrassed figure disappeared around the corner, Tang Ze withdrew his gaze and glanced at the victim standing next to him, who had actually just met him today.
Is she actually such a sharp-tongued type?
To break the defense, you have to be an expert...
"Thank you for speaking up, Miss Shintang." Tang Ze sighed in his heart, but he was still polite on his face, "Thank you also for contacting the police gentlemen on your behalf."
"No, no, I just did a little thing." Shindou Sumire quickly bowed in return, then smiled with a look of sincere admiration, "I didn't choose to call the police. Is it because I was worried that more people would know about it and cause trouble to the banquet? Kitagawa-kun is really very attentive."
Kitagawa Yusuke seems to have low emotional intelligence, but in fact he is considerate and considerate and is a rare good man.
Not only did he save her life, but he also calmed her down in a timely manner in the next few days, allowing her to contact the police in a timely manner with a full and healthy spirit.
Whenever she opens her eyes every day, she can see a full range of daily necessities and food at the door of the cramped safe house. She even prepared a sketchbook and simple painting materials, as well as emergency medicines with very recent dates. Electric shock device for self-defense...
In the mind of Shindo Sumire, who had been carefully cared for for several days, Kitagawa Yusuke's image was naturally infinitely elevated.
Tangze glanced at her strangely, feeling that there was some misunderstanding, but there was no harm in thinking about it, so he simply nodded calmly and said, "Then please keep it a secret for me for the time being. I will go back to the banquet hall first. "
Whether Tajima wanted to kill him or really just wanted to prank him, Karasawa didn't want the news of his arrest to spread.
Tomorrow's newspaper headlines can only be about the glorious art exhibition, not the misfortune of the school, the scandal of the brothers falling out due to conflicts...
From receiving the alarm to taking Tajima Toshi It only took ten minutes to pack Shu and send him away. When Tang Ze returned to the banquet hall, no one noticed that one of the protagonists of the banquet had quietly slipped out to clean up the door for his master.
The banquet hall was filled with celebrities from various fields of art. The atmosphere was still harmonious and elegant. Only Conan was watching his return with eyes that were thirsty for knowledge.
"So, is it really Tajima?" As Karasawa approached, he heard the fake elementary school student eagerly ask, "He is the only one who really harbors ill intentions towards you, right?"
Karasawa gave him a strange look.
You kid, if there is no case for you to act on, you come up with your own questions, right?
Funny in his heart, Karasawa still satisfied his curiosity: "Yes, the only one who has conflicts of interest with me is Senior Brother Tajima. Senior Sister Misato has a good personality, but she is a bit verbose, Feng Master Taro is a person who doesn’t care about foreign things. It’s unlikely that they would want to hurt me or cause trouble for themselves. If they do, they will become enemies with the teacher.”
Kitagawa Yusuke and Kisaragi Hosui are mutually successful. Without the other, the play will not work.
This sounds a bit loud, but it is the truth. If Karasawa hadn't met the old man through the identity of Kitagawa Yusuke, and during many days of getting along and communicating, Kisaragi Hosui would have gradually felt a real closeness to him. Later, he would have given up the murder plan and become more open-minded, creating a new branch of his mind. This series of events It won't happen at all. They will only become more lost because of losing their teacher as a big supporter.
"Only Senior Brother Tajima, oh, you can't call him Senior Brother now." Karasawa spread his hands, "He wants to participate in a threshold selection event because there are no more awards. If so, his scholarship at the graduate school will be taken away, but the teacher’s recommendation can only be given to me.”
I don’t understand this basic logic, lack a long-term perspective, and have immediate threats to my interests. Tajima Toshiki did it.
Then he was expelled from the division.
"My reasoning is indeed correct." Looking at Minetaro Koutani, who was sleeping unconscious on the side, Conan nodded with satisfaction.
Misato Okawa's cushions were given to her by Toshiki Tajima, and Minetarou Koutani's icing was also given to her by Toshiki Tajima.
This sect, which is bound together by interests, may not be warm enough, but everyone respects each other and has good intentions.
While they were talking, Mao Lilan, who went out to meet her parents, came back with a surprised look on her face.
"Wow, I just saw a new police car at the door..."
"Someone wanted to steal Brother Kitagawa's paintings, but he didn't expect that there were so many cameras in the exhibition hall, and everyone got the stolen goods. "Conan blinked twice and decisively put this somewhat disgraceful internal fight through, "Where are Uncle Maoli and the others?"
"Don't mention it..." The corner of Mao Lilan's mouth twitched. He tilted his head and gestured backward.
The two of them followed her gaze and saw Kogoro Mori, who was wearing a dark purple khaki suit, holding Fei Yingri in a simple black evening dress, exchanging champagne with others. business card.
Considering the age of the two of them, this can be regarded as a very fancy dress.
You can't blame Mouri Kogoro for being too arrogant, it's mainly because today's opportunity is rare.
It is rare for invitations to be sent to such a formal occasion. Kogoro Mori cherishes this opportunity and thinks it is a good occasion to show his career achievements to Fei Eri, so he invites her sincerely and solemnly. Fei Yingli came to the banquet as her female companion.
The ice-breaking relationship with Mouri Kogoro, and Fei Yingli, who is still trying to find a suitable way of getting along, readily agreed and was fully prepared.
Although the famous detective Kogoro Mori is more famous and has more people communicating with him, the Queen of Laws Eri also looks open, handing out gilded business cards one after another. , and saw that many cards were removed from the exquisite business card holder.
Each of them has their own career, and at the same time they are holding hands with each other, and they are very intimate. If you don't take into account the nature of their work, this scene would look like that.
But when Tangze looked at the combination of a private detective and a gold medal lawyer, he could only think of some strange descriptions such as "front shop and back factory", "one-stop service", "after-sales service included", and imagined the two of them for a while. I couldn't help but shudder at the scene that might happen after a real reconciliation.
The detective who is chosen by nature to easily solve murder cases, handles both criminal and civil matters, and sometimes works part-time as a divorce lawyer...
How should I put it, from practicality The angle is surprisingly remarkable.
"What a great harvest..." The corners of Conan's mouth were also twitching, probably because he had imagined a similar scene.
"No, the one who really gained a lot is the garden." Mao Lilan shook his head and pointed to his best friend standing in another part of the venue.
Suzuki Sonoko was wearing an elegant skirt today and was laughing and chatting with a few elderly collectors.
Wearing glasses and a suit, Kyogoku really looks a bit dull. Standing next to Suzuki Sonoko, he looks more like a loyal bodyguard than a male companion, but he can always protect him naturally in silence. Living in Suzuki Garden, he is reliable and calm, and looks quite harmonious.
"Is she talking about collection-related matters in person?" Conan touched his chin and rarely saw Sonoko in this state and couldn't help asking, "I remember that the Suzuki family didn't have someone in charge of this kind of thing. "?"
"Well, it seems that they are planning to take over some collections of inventory. You know, not all rich people can be as prosperous as the Suzuki family. There are always things that need to be sold." Mao Lilan nodded, "Actually, before the Suzuki family purchased large quantities of collections, it was Yuanzi and her sister who were responsible for checking and accepting them. It is more appropriate for her to do this now."
Suzuki Ayako is already married, and Sonoko happens to have a good foundation with the fame of Kitagawa Yusuke. Now is a good time to strike while the iron is hot.
"I heard from Yuanzi that her family is going to let her be responsible for the layout and opening of exhibition halls in various places. In the past, she was rarely asked to do this kind of work. She has seen a lot of good things. Her father always felt that she She doesn’t know much about art and isn’t interested in it, so she doesn’t think she’s qualified for this kind of work.” Mao Lilan couldn’t help but feel happy, “There are many exhibitions to see next.”
And it’s the kind where the organizer is the insider and you can see the real thing up close.
Tang Ze, who was listening silently, had a look on his face. Several pictures flashed through his mind, and he began to think thoughtfully.
It feels like a special signal. Do you want to inquire in advance about Kidd's recent work plan...
"Yusuke, what are you doing over there? It's your turn to give a speech. ”
"Here we come, teacher." Tang Ze responded loudly, smiled apologetically at his strange yet familiar friends, and then cleared these messy thoughts, and strode towards Ruyue Fengshui, who looked over with a frown, but could not hide the smile on his lips. .
Now he is Kitagawa Yusuke, a cutting-edge artist who has embarked on a bright road to stardom, and a young painter who has high hopes from his teacher.
There are still many moments for the detective and the phantom thief, so don’t rush tonight. Tonight is for art and joy.
February, as the moon refers to it, is a time of new beginnings and celebrations.
