Conan did not appear on the following two rest days.
Without incident, Ye Gengyi stayed up for two big nights with 48 hours of pure scientific research atmosphere.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the atmosphere was broken.
Conan, who is always on vacation for some reason, and the three children from the Junior Detective Corps came to the doctor's house to play games.
While Xiao Lei was bringing him coffee, Ye Gengyi asked the doubts in his heart.
Hui Yuan Ai shrugged and said: "There is no way, who asked you to drag the doctor to stay up late to do research on the first night you came back from Aosui Village... I think that compared to being with the two of us, the doctor should be more I like those innocent and cute children.”
cute? Three of them? I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about cuteness...
Ye Geng looked over and suggested: "Maybe...you can learn more from those children in this regard, and have time to fill the hearts of empty nesters."
"Is it like this?" Little stars suddenly appeared in Haiyuan Ai's eyes, imitating a childish child and sweetly shouted: "Brother Gengyi~"
Click, click...
Ye Gengyi deliberately turned on the shutter sound and flash of his mobile phone, quickly took two pictures, and commented: "Not bad, just a little silly... I should have recorded it."
Hui Yuan Ai's expression froze: "..."
Delete it, delete it for me quickly!
…
Time flashed to 11 o'clock.
As soon as Ye Geng left the basement, he went to the bathroom to solve some personal problems. Looking at the people gathered around the sofa, playing video games having a great time, he walked over and asked them if they wanted to stay for lunch today.
"The doctor wants to invite us to eat sushi." Yuantai smiled, turned around and said, "This is the reward for beating him in the game!"
"Yes," Dr. Agasa nodded: "It is also to congratulate Genta's father for successfully being selected for the 'National Mr. Kojima Championship' data review... But it is a pity. I just called Mr. Kojima and said that because he still needs We are preparing for the competition, so we can’t come together.”
"Oh, my dad is so handsome, he must want to get a good ranking~" Yuantai looked proud.
Mr. Kojima...tournament?
Ye Gengyi asked: "Is it a variety show?"
"Yeah!" Yuantai nodded and said, "I heard that the person who wins the championship in the end can get a bonus of 10 million yuan! But compared to the bonus, my dad would rather get the wild boar scroll as an accessory prize."
After all, it was just a meal of eel rice, and my family owned several shops in the shopping district. Of course... considering the activities held publicly by the TV station, the amount of ten million is still very high.
Ye Geng glanced at Conan and subconsciously judged whether to consider humane destruction of this boy if his 'radiation halo of death' had begun to affect his family.
On the side, Hui Yuan Ai explained:
"I thought it was a scam at first, so I logged into the official page of Nippon TV Station, and I did find the announcement of the event, but there was one more thing that made me quite concerned, and that was the wild boar scroll that Yuantai just mentioned. "
"Eh? What's so special about that painting?" Yuantai was confused.
"That painting is the work of Master Yamakyu. He is a painting master of the same level as Kisaragi Hosui, who we met before and is good at painting Mount Fuji. The full name of the painting should be "Lespedeza and Wild Boar". One of the patterns used in flower cards in the Pig, Deer and Butterfly."
Haihara Ai originally wanted to let a few children understand the value of the painting through popular science, but it turned out that they were still confused, holding their foreheads helplessly, and said concisely:
"The market value of that painting is about 50 million."
"What!?"
Dr. A Li and the three little figures were all stunned.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster... Ye Gengyi once again set his sights on a certain detective boy.
? ? ?
Conan has a question mark on his head... What is Geng Yi's look like? Isn't it okay for him to keep a low profile and choose silence?
Wait... Could it be that I'm too low-key, so Brother Gengyi finds it strange?
Sure enough, it should be the same as usual... He coughed lightly:
"Ahem... Just like what Haiyuan said, if the painting is authentic, the price will only be higher. It is said that there was a young treasure collector who used only a little money to buy a 'pig' and a deer After the three scrolls of "Butterfly", his career continued to prosper and he soon accumulated a lot of wealth. Since then, the three paintings have been called symbols of good luck."
"Wow! That's just a scroll that brings luck!" the three children exclaimed.
“In fact, those things were originally not valuable, but that’s because most of the funds are concentrated in the hands of the upper class, and as time goes by, money will only depreciate more and more due to inflation. This situation is very difficult for those who have large amounts of funds. The people's losses were huge, so they thought of a way to hype up the value of 'art' that is difficult to replicate and collect it, so that their property would not be severely reduced..."
After Ye Gengyi simply reiterated his own understanding of the value of 'artwork', he analyzed: "So, if you take out that kind of painting as a championship prize, it is highly likely that the staff will decide it by default. Who is the sponsor? "
The transfer of art is much more secretive than money, so he believes that the possibility of publicity for this event is very high... just like the Suzuki Foundation and Kaitou Kidd.
A 'traffic thief' who can never be caught has much greater benefits than catching him and putting him in jail.
"It seems to be Kojima Gonsaku, the president of Kojima Group."
Haibara Ai didn't care whether Ye Gengyi knew this information or not. He directly told the news he saw on the Internet: "He is a rich man who owns many department stores. It is said that he originally owned Pig Deer." As a collector of butterfly paintings, he accidentally lost the two paintings of Deer and Butterfly. He only kept one of "Lespedeza and Wild Boar". Every time he saw it, he felt regretful, so he thought of holding this event and passing on this painting. To other people named Xiaodao."
"What are the events of the competition?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Uh, this..." Haihara Ai was helpless, "The event details page requires the personal information of the contestants to be filled in before you can view it."
"I know!" Yuantai said, waving his fingers: "There are physical competitions, such as push-ups, high jump, long jump, running, etc... There are also singing competitions, and competitive events of writing Chinese characters."
Hearing that there was still a project to write Chinese characters, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko both sighed: "It feels so difficult..."
"But there's definitely no problem with the singing competition!"
Yuanta didn't seem to be under any pressure, "Anyway, my dad's singing voice is much better than Conan~"
Haha, I'm so sorry for my tone-deafness... A certain detective has half-moon eyes.
"Eh?! That level is too bad!" Mitsuhiko's face was full of worry.
"Yes, Genta, is your father okay?" Ayumi was also very concerned.
"The important thing is participation." Ye Gengyi said.
"That's all we can do..." Haiyuan lamented.
"Then...should we go refuel tomorrow?" Dr. A Li hesitated.
Conan: "..."
