Chapter 4 The trip to the museum
In the next few days, Okabata was constantly adapting to his life in Japan. In the first few days, he was still in a state of inability to adjust the jet lag. However, in order to add some clothes, after spending a few days with Koran and Conan, he finally could lie down on the bed every day and fall asleep.
Because Okata is not a difficult person to contact, after a few days, he became partners under the same roof with Conan and Xiaolan. Although he couldn't say anything, Xiaolan still often revealed his thoughts to his brother.
It is said that the girl in the 16th and 17th is the most thoughtful. Okara felt Xiaolan's faint longing and always inadvertently said the name "Kudo Shinichi" from her.
Okata had a rough understanding of the plot, so he knew that Conan was Kudo Shinichi who Xiaolan often missed, but he did not intend to expose the latter's identity, because through this period of contact, he could also feel Conan's helplessness about the status quo in his words.
During these days, Okata was very happy because when he was in the United States, he was almost at the library and at home every day, without any changes, and even said that he did not make a few satisfactory friends in college.
Back in Japan, Ogata had an extra cousin and a smart little brother. Although it was a very troublesome thing to go shopping with girls, he enjoyed it.
According to observations over the past few days, Okata found that the business of the Mouri firm was not very good. Most of the customers who came to care for family disputes need to investigate whether the husband had an affair. Of course, Okata was not interested in these trivial matters, so what is rare is that the week after returning, there was no imagined murder case...
Kogoro Maori's enthusiasm for Ogata is obviously greater than Conan, because one is to provide living expenses at home and the other is to help take care of him. Ogata created benefits for him, and he was his essential relative.
Every day, Kogoro Maori would find opportunities to drink with Okata, and of course Xiaoran would not give him the chance to drink the drunkenness. After showing her rough side and smashing the table with one punch, Okata finally understood why Maori was afraid of his own daughter...
Xiaolan is a master of karate, and this is what Okabaya only knew after her performance. She was a little lucky that she did not offend this cousin who appeared gentle but actually had a fierce look.
Early in the morning, Okata was brushing his teeth, and Kogoro Mori sat in his seat to read the newspaper, while Conan seemed to be writing something on the paper. At this time, Xiaolan ran over and said, "Hey, have you heard of it? It's been rumored nearby that there was an armor in the Medieval Art Museum that was walking at night and was discovered by the patrol security guards. Now many students in the class are talking about this matter."
"It should be a trick to recruit people to visit the museum." Kogoro Mouri curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, looking like he was disbelief.
Conan also answered: "Yes, this trick is just a trick to deceive children."
"Aren't you a child?" Xiaolan said angrily when she saw that her father and Conan were all interested.
Okara just finished brushing his teeth. He wiped his mouth with a towel, put down his teeth, looked at Xiaolan who was angry, and asked with a smile: "Which medieval exhibition hall do you want to go to?"
"Well! I heard that there are many beautiful works in the exhibition." Xiaolan nodded vigorously.
Okabata thought for a while and there was nothing serious about it today, and he was quite bored, so he said, "Xiaolan, prepare for it, I will accompany you to see the exhibition."
"Ah!? That's great!" Xiaolan looked happy. She deliberately told everyone about the recent rumors just to arouse interest, but obviously everyone didn't buy it, only Okara agreed at this time.
Upon hearing this, Conan put down the pen in his hand, looked at Xiaolan through his glasses, and said, "Then I want to go too."
Okata smiled. Of course he understood the brat's idea. Xiaolan thought Conan was still a child and wanted to join in the fun.
Kogoro Mori opened today's newspaper, yawned and said, "You guys go! I'm not interested in that art museum and armor."
Xiaolan glared at his listless father, who was holding it at home like this, and no business came to him.
Maori was so happy that he sent everyone away, and had the chance to drink enough beer in the refrigerator.
......
Ogata likes to wear shirts, so today it is still a shirt with jeans.
Xiaolan changed into a red rest suit, and seemed to have dressed up carefully. Compared to when she was at home, she was particularly eye-catching.
Conan was the same as before, following Xiaolan bored. If Okata hadn't promised her to watch the exhibition together, this little kid would have stayed with Kogoro Mouri in the office.
The three of them took a taxi and drove to the Medieval Art Museum, which is not far from the office.
After getting off the bus, Okabaya saw the destination of the trip, with the eye-catching plaque "Medieval Art Museum". Perhaps because today is not a day off and the location of the art museum is not satisfactory, there are very few tourists coming and going.
"It's here." Xiaolan said excitedly. She has heard classmates often talk about this art gallery recently.
After buying the tickets, Ogata and his group found that as expected, there were very few people coming to watch the art works, and even said that there were so few that they were pitiful. In the empty exhibition hall, there were almost only them.
Conan followed Okata and Xiaolan listlessly. After witnessing the works of art hanging on the wall, Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise.
Okata is also watching these works of art. Most of them are very abstract, and even said that the artistic conception is very high. A ordinary person like him cannot understand the meaning of it. He can only understand the creative background of the painting and the emotional expression expressed through the introduction below...
Through the railing, Xiaolan was admiring a painting, a hunched old figure appeared behind several people.
Ogata was very sensitive. He immediately reacted. Looking back, he saw an old man with long eyebrows and beard and gray. The old man was wearing a brown suit and exuded the same breath as these art works.
"Hmm?" Okabaya's eyes flashed, and he looked at the old man's face, showing a thoughtful expression.
"Do you like this painting very much, Miss?" The old man stood there, and the old and calm voice came from his mouth.
Xiaolan then realized that an old man was standing behind her. Her face turned red. In fact, she didn't know what the painting was good about, but she just liked the colors that made up the picture.
Hearing the old man’s question, Xiaolan nodded: “It’s a very beautiful painting.”
"Haha, it is indeed a very beautiful and moving painting. Every work here has its own stories. It is so interesting to be able to understand these stories." The old man said with a smile, as if he was very happy to see someone appreciating the paintings here.
"Who are you?" Xiaolan asked politely.
The old man smiled and replied, "I am the director here, named Luohe."
Next, under the leadership of the old director, Ogata and his group admired the works of art. Although they shouted that they couldn't understand it, there was an elder who introduced it on the side, so they could not lose face.
The entire art museum is divided into the Earth Exhibition Hall, the Sky Exhibition Hall, etc. Although there are few people visiting, the art works that are included are no less than any exhibition hall.
During this process, a small episode happened. A staff member of the art museum was slapped with thick hands and feet. He was scolded loudly by Director Luohe, which also allowed Xiaolan and Okabaya to see the paranoid side of the old man.
When passing by the Dadi Exhibition Hall, Okata saw that the exhibition hall would be acquired in the future, and seemed to be renovating it into a real owner of the hotel.
"There are ten days left, and this place will be closed. Make preparations in advance and clean up the broken copper and iron here!" The boss of the real middle school sneered unceremoniously in front of everyone and said to Director Luohe.
Okata was right aside. Maybe Koran and Conan were paying more attention to the content of their conversation, but his eyes were still on the eyes of the boss Makana and Curator Luohe.
