Chapter 19 Understanding Art
Author: Return in three days
"Haruna, are you free today? Recently there are rumors in the art museum that medieval armor can move. Do you want to go and take a look with us?"
One afternoon, Xiaolan called.
"Ah, I have no problem, but you may have to wait for me for a while, okay? Let's meet at the detective office later."
Shirakawa Yuki, who has had nothing to do since Valentine's Day, is still lying on her back under the quilt.
"Okay, then my dad, Conan, and I will be waiting for you at the office, Haruna."
After hanging up the phone, Shirakawa Yuki sat up and was in a daze for a while.
He shook his head and started to get up.
…
"Haruna, you are here."
At the door of the office, Xiaolan looked at the girl in front of her with some joy.
"Alas, Xiaolan, thank you for inviting me to go to the art museum with you! I've been very busy at home recently and have nothing to do."
Shirakawa Yuki looked at Xiaolan and was also very happy.
"Then let's set off."
With that said, Xiaolan looked at Conan and Mouri Kogoro who were listless in the office, waved his fist and threatened.
"You two, let's go."
Conan and Kogoro Mouri shuddered when they remembered the horrific scene where their fists shattered the table, and hurriedly followed.
Medieval Museum.
"Wow, there are so many beautiful paintings here. It's really nice to come here."
Looking at the exquisite paintings on the wall, Xiaolan sighed in admiration.
"Yes, they are all relatively good works of art!"
Shirakawa Yuki looked at the painting in front of her and admired it aloud.
She has seen a lot of good works of art over the years, and her appreciation of art is pretty good. The exhibits here are just good to her.
"This young lady seems to have very high requirements for art?"
Hearing Shirakawa Yuki's comments, an elderly man on the side was attracted.
After some introduction, everyone knew that this person was the director of this art museum, and his surname was Ochiai.
“I just heard this lady’s evaluation of the exhibits in our museum was only good.
So I just want to ask what kind of art is good in this lady’s opinion?”
Director Ochiai explained the reason for his visit.
"I'm sorry, Haruna, she didn't mean it."
Xiaolan thought that Shirakawa Yuki's words had offended the curator, so she hurriedly explained.
Shirakawa Yuki waved her hand, indicating that Xiaolan was fine, and said with a smile.
"I have seen a similar oil painting to yours in the Rijksmuseum of the Netherlands, called "The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers"."
After hearing what Shirakawa Yuki said, Director Ochiai nodded. He also knew that the painting was indeed somewhat similar to the one he had here.
"I have always believed that beauty in art is a spiritual state characterized by tranquility and harmony, and is meant to convey love and peace.
But this picture and the "Bodies of the De Wit Brothers" in the Rijksmuseum of the Netherlands are only bloody and violent."
At this point, Director Ochiai probably understood what she meant.
"It cannot be denied that the painting skills of these two pictures are first-class, but the meaning they express is unacceptable to me, so in my opinion they can only be regarded as good works of art.
Are you satisfied with my answer?"
After Shirakawa Yuki finished speaking, she looked at Director Ochiai quietly, waiting for his answer.
Director Ochiai was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course, I am deeply inspired. I believe you must be a kind girl."
After saying that, he left.
"Haruna, I didn't expect that you have your own unique insights into art!"
Xiaolan sighed a little.
"After hearing what you said, Haruna, I feel that this painting is really not as good as what I saw before."
Shirakawa Yuki said with a smile: "Oh, I have been to more places and seen more art in recent years, so naturally I will have my own opinions, and that's okay."
Suddenly, the angry voice of Director Ochiai came from the side.
"Kubota, what are you doing? You must wear gloves when handling works. I have told you several times. Have you forgotten?"
"I'm sorry." Kubota apologized.
"You don't have to do it, Iida, please."
Director Ochiai drove him away and called a man named Ida next to him.
Kubota had no choice but to walk away with an annoyed look on his face.
At this time, two more people came over and said, "As usual, there are very few people."
Director Ochiai turned around and said, "Boss Manaka."
"In ten days, this place will be closed. I have to ask you to take good care of it for a while."
After that, he left with the designer beside him.
Xiaolan came over.
"Is this museum about to disappear?"
"Yes, the previous boss had to sell this art gallery to the boss Zhenzhong because of the company's failure."
Kubota on the side began to be violent with the artwork again.
Seeing this scene, Director Ochiai told Xiaolan and his party to enjoy it and left.
I continued to look at the exhibits in the art museum and walked around several times. Xiaolan was still full of energy, but Conan and Mouri Kogoro were not able to do it anymore and were complaining on the sidelines.
"Sister Xiaolan, let's go back, my stomach can't bear it anymore."
Conan began to urge, and Kogoro also echoed: "That's right."
"You guys are really bad. You can't stand it after just a few laps. Unlike Haruna, you don't have any... Hey, where is Haruna?"
Only then did Xiaolan realize that Shirakawa Yuki was missing.
With half-moon eyes and a look of helplessness, Conan pointed at Hoshino Haruna who was sleeping on the sofa nearby.
"As early as the third lap, Haruna-san went to sleep on the sofa over there."
Xiaolan looked in the direction of Conan's finger and found Yuki Shirakawa sleeping curled up there.
It's so small and so cute.
Seeing this scene, Xiaolan's heart almost melted. She walked next to Shirakawa Yuki and pinched her little face.
"Well..."
Feeling the touch on her face, Shirakawa Yuki woke up.
"Ah, Xiaolan, are you ready to go home?"
Because she had just woken up, Shirakawa Yuki's voice was sticky, as if she was coquettish.
This made Xiaolan's voice slow down a bit, "Yes, we are ready to go home, get up quickly."
When Shirakawa Yuki got up, Xiaolan discovered that the sign in the Hell Room that had just put up a no-entry sign had disappeared.
Xiaolan wanted to go in and take a look, but looked at the sleepy Shirakawa Yuki beside her and hesitated.
Feeling Xiaolan's gaze, Shirakawa Yuki looked over and realized that she wanted to go in for a look, so she yawned.
"Okay, Xiaolan, let's go in and take a look."
Because I just woke up, the silly hair on my head was jumping up and down, which was very cute.
Seeing that Shirakawa Yuki had said this, Xiaolan was very happy and pulled her in.
Walking into the exhibition hall, it should be said that it is indeed a hell. The surroundings are extremely dark and somewhat terrifying.
Walking to a painting called "Heavenly Punishment", Xiaolan found the boss Zhenzhong nailed to the wall.
"ah!"
Shirakawa Yuki quickly dialed the alarm number and called the police.
Soon the police arrived at the scene of the crime.
The team is still led by our old acquaintance Officer Megure.
