Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 83 The Disaster of the Grandpas

  Two hours later, in the pottery classroom.

   Mino Soyuki looked at his watch anxiously.

   A while ago, he made a meticulous murder plan and planned to implement it today.

   Now, the victim is here, the target of the blame is here, and there are witnesses... However, it was almost time to get off work, but he still couldn't find a chance to get off the phone.

   Actually, when he first saw this group of "reserve witnesses", Mino Mongzhi's heart sank a little, because he found that these people seemed to be mixed with a young famous detective.

   But as soon as Jiang Xia entered the door, he sat quietly beside him and started dozing off. At that time, Mino Zongzhi looked at Jiang Xia who was sleeping, and the more he looked at him, the more he thought it was God's will - otherwise, why would he deliberately let this detective fall asleep.

   Mino Soyuki breathed a sigh of relief and decided to continue with his plan.

Unexpectedly, just when the son-in-law came back, he was thinking about attacking the son-in-law, but the young detective stepped on a little bit sober, and showed great interest in pottery, and began to ask him all kinds of questions. Wherever you are, you will never leave.

   Mino Soyuki looked at Jiang Xia, who was always within his field of vision, and fell into contemplation.

   He did have the idea of ​​challenging the detective, but that kind of "challenge" refers to using his own highly skilled murder to challenge the detective's insight.

   Instead of strangling his son-in-law in front of a detective, he challenged the detective's force value and alarm speed.

  Jiang Xia is very close, and he can't get rid of it. As time goes by, Mino Zongzhi can't help but start to despair... Why is there such an annoying apprentice in the world.

   Soon, when it was time to get off work, the son-in-law left the pottery classroom and returned to the courtyard of Kikuemon's house.

   This means that today, Mino Soyuki has no chance to carry out the murder plan at all.

   Mino Sono sighed apologetically and had to reschedule the plan. Now, he just wanted to get the group of guests - especially the overly entangled detective away.

   However, even such a humble wish could not be fulfilled.

  ——When the guests brought handmade pottery and were about to leave, a middle-aged mature woman walked in from the back door and said that Kikuemon invited the guests to come and sit at home.

   When she said this, the middle-aged woman's eyes always fell on Jiang Xia, with a little curiosity and consideration.

  The corner of Mino Zongzhi's eyes twitched, and he walked away quickly. He had already guessed what Kikuemon was thinking.

  …

   Everyone has some unique hobbies, and of course Kikuemon, a national treasure-level pottery master, is also the same - he is very interested in all kinds of bizarre cases, he has been paying attention to relevant reports, and he is familiar with famous detectives.

   A while ago, Kikuemon noticed Jiangxia, a rising star in the industry.

   He read the few cases that Jiang Xia had solved many times, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this was really a talent, and he believed that Jiang Xia was a potential stock, and he would definitely solve more bizarre cases in the future.

   This afternoon, when he found out that Jiang Xia had come to their pottery classroom, Kikuemon was immediately excited, so he asked his daughter-in-law to invite people over, and wanted to chase the stars up close.

   Hearing this invitation in Jiang Xia's ears, he was inviting him into the house to hunt for ghosts, and he readily agreed.

  Since I have invited, of course it is impossible to only invite Jiang Xia, and the others have also followed.

  …

  In the living room, after viewing some exquisite works, a few people took a seat at the table.

   Opposite the coffee table, Kikuemon straightened his beard and straightened his face, and gave Jiang Xia a lot of serious advice.

However, Kikuemon was soon exposed by his daughter-in-law to the nature of the group: "Dad, it is popular to encourage education now - you might as well just say that you are very optimistic about him." After speaking, she pulled out a newspaper clipping and opened it towards Jiang Xia. , "Look, it's full of cases you've solved."

   The old man's face stiffened.

  Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look and nodded, but secretly felt that it was not as good-looking as the one he wrote.

  Suzuki Sonoko and Maurilan said "Wow——", showing a proud expression, although they didn't know what they were proud of.

Amuro drank a sip of tea speechlessly, feeling that he was on guard for nothing—as soon as he entered the door, he found that Kikuemon looked at Jiang Xia very strangely. It was because of this shrewd old man that he was targeted by this shrewd old man...

  …

  Kikuemon is the center of this division. The guests he invited, and the rest of the family, of course, have to come out to meet.

   In fact, there are not many people in the family - Kikuemon and his junior brother Mino Sect have a lost son and a lost daughter.

   So apart from the two old men, there are only three male apprentices in the family, and Kikuemon's daughter-in-law. Among the apprentices, one is the son-in-law of Mino Soyuki.

   The apprentices came to the living room, and when they saw Jiang Xia, they couldn't wait to ask, "Which one did you choose?"

——In the afternoon, after Kikuemon decided to invite Jiang Xia as a guest, the family made a bet: use the most precious pottery cup in the family as a tea cup for Jiang Xia, and then let the detective choose a collection in the exhibition hall as a gift, Bet that Jiang Xia can find out that the treasure is in his own hands.

"Don't worry, I haven't told him yet." Kikuemon waved his apprentice back, looked at Jiang Xia, and raised his hand in the direction of the showcase, "These are my collections, you can pick one of them and use it as me A present for you."

   The daughter-in-law smiled and added to the laymen: "Every piece is a boutique with a market price of no less than one million."

  "!" Mao Lilan and Conan were surprised, they didn't expect someone to give away such an expensive thing.

  Suzuki Sonoko's reaction to the price was flat. Many toys worth hundreds of millions of dollars were piled up in the warehouse to eat ashes at her home.

   However, this kind of souvenir still gives people a different feeling. Suzuki Sonoko leaned into Jiang Xia's ear and secretly thought of it excitedly: "Pick a good-looking one!"

The few young potters next to him looked at Jiang Xia, showing a little bit of a good show. He specializes in art. Although Jiang Xia's detective talents are very appreciated by Kikuemon, in terms of pottery appreciation, this detective will probably be blinded. .

   They couldn't help thinking about Jiang Xia's choice for a long time, and finally they were told that the one holding No.1 was the surprised expression they might have shown.

   was thinking about being happy when he saw Jiang Xia lowered his head and silently stared at the cup in his hand.

   Disciples: "..."

  Wait, wait...what are you looking at? !

   Jiang Xia is indeed not good at appreciating pottery, but he can "prophesy".

   He remembered that the most expensive pottery in the whole house was a certain tea cup. And now, since the old man specially asked him to guess, then according to the theory of black under the lamp that people love, the teacup is probably in his hand.

   Amuro Toru also quickly looked at the cup in Jiang Xia's hand.

Of course he didn't read the spoiler, but as a dedicated intelligence agent, in this mission, Amuro collected a lot of information about Kikuemon, and this teacup has been published in related magazines - it is Kikuemon Eemon's proud work, with a price tag of nearly 10 million, is very recognizable.

  Jiang Xia rubbed the teacup under the sweaty gaze of several apprentices, feeling a little tangled.

   He is not short of money, nor does he like to drink tea, and to be honest, although the tea cup in his hand is recognized as a fine product, the color is too plain and does not fit his aesthetic.

   He actually prefers a clay pot with a unique pattern on the cabinet - it is very large and has a wide opening. It is a good seedling for potted plants. It is much more practical than this teacup that can only grow a few garlic sprouts in his hand.

   Jiangxia has been entangled for a long time.

  Mao Lilan and the others were still looking at the display cabinet at first, but later found that Jiang Xia and his mysterious detective agency boss were looking at the teacups, so they went back to the coffee table for unknown reasons and followed the trend.

  The Kikuemon family originally wanted to see "a precious video of a layman relying on his intuition to identify treasures", but he didn't expect that the situation would turn out to be like this.

   The daughter-in-law in charge of finance gradually lost her smile—that teacup is a treasure worth tens of millions! When she watched Jiangxia pottery making one after another, she seemed like a layman, but she didn't stop it when Kikuemon came up with this plan, who knows now...
