Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 94 Italian Maple Leaf Gold Coin
"It turned out to be Mr. Curator. Excuse me, but have you, or the art museum, encountered any trouble?"
Mihua Art Museum, the old man curator, and this unique sense of atmosphere with artworks, made Guan Dounan determine that the curator of Mihua Art Museum should be the one in the original work of "Detective Conan" who can wear it by himself. A murderer who took up heavy armor and nailed a fat man who was not light to the wall with a metal sword, leaving a deep childhood shadow on him.
A library director, an art gallery director, you Mihua Town are really simple and honest...
The episode of Rice Flower Art Museum was extremely impressive in Guan Dounan's mind. Not only was the old man's powerful fighting power that did not match his appearance, but more importantly, the horror of the crime scene he created, which will be used in dirty ways. The businessman who wanted to buy the art gallery by dirty means was nailed to the oil painting of the same theme in the posture of a knight punishing the devil.
As the murderer, the curator himself, like the knight in the painting, was also soaked in blood and degenerated into a demon.
Now I have seen this old gentleman with my own eyes... Well, in this already chaotic enough world, his unscientific combat power has become the best explanation, either another avatar, or some other ability, If it doesn't work, the body function suddenly skyrockets due to the influence of Conan's halo, and there is always a choice waiting for you.
However, now this old man should not have embarked on the road of crime, and the troubles he encountered may still have a chance to recover.
Maybe it was because of a sudden attack of bad guy psychology, maybe because he wanted to improve his score in front of the police officers who might be stalking him, or maybe because of his approval of the curator himself, Guan Dounan decided to help him.
"Huh? What do you mean..." The old man looked at Guan Dounan and asked back.
"The management of this art museum is not as good as it seems on the surface?" Guan Dounan looked out of the corner of his eye. Although the surrounding area was not too sloppy, at least there were very few spectators. Apart from Guan Dounan and his group, there were only Only four or five tourists.
However, this is actually the conclusion that has been known for a long time, and now we will deduce the process from the result, pretending to be the result of deduction from various signs... Well, this is the so-called fictional reasoning.
"In this World Treasures Exhibition, although the quality of the exhibits is of high quality, the types of exhibits are a bit messy, from various countries and regions." Guan Dounan originally wanted to add that the placement of the exhibits did not seem to be clear. but looking at the curator's half-smiley expression, he decided to go out of his way to talk about the curatorial level of the museum, "Of course, this is just my intuition, and intuition may be wrong."
"The most important thing is that the level of this exhibition itself and its publicity are very disproportionate. To use an analogy that is not appropriate or not, it is like a knight in his old age who has polished his sword. , borrowed an old friend's armor, and wanted to have one last gorgeous battle."
The corner of the curator's mouth that had been slightly raised suddenly moved, turning into a straight line, and he sipped inward.
"I make a bold guess, maybe there is a problem with the operation of funds, so the director, you have borrowed some treasures for exhibition through personal relationships, hoping to bring some fame to the museum, so as to save the operation of the museum. "Seeing the change in the micro-expression of the curator's lips, Guan Dounan knew that he had guessed 70% to 80%, so he combined the plot he had seen before with his own guess.
"...It's like being able to see the real eye of wisdom from a book without words." The curator was silent for a moment, sighed, but said something of unknown meaning, but Guan Dounan knew that he had already admitted that Guan Dounan's guess was correct "It's just, what can you do as a high school student in the face of astronomical funding holes? Do you really hope to hit luck and dig treasures from unknown corners?"
"Is there a big funding gap?" Guan Dounan asked. Although he has no money, he can discuss with the Suzuki Consortium. After all, in the several theatrical versions he has watched, the Suzuki Consortium's financial resources can no longer be described as outrageous. Now, the 10 billion yen requested by Kaito Kidd can easily be taken out, and he can also bid with himself, spending up to 300 million US dollars to bid for the original work of Van Gogh's "Sunflower".
"It's not just big..." The curator shook his head. "You have no working experience, so it's normal to not understand this. Labor, venue, equipment, consumables, and occasional activities and accidents..."
"If it is really filled with treasures, it will probably take 15,000 maple leaf gold coins worth 600 million yen that were stolen as reported in the news a few days ago to almost fill it in." The curator raised his head. Using a specific thing and a number to tell Guan Dounan how big the hole is.
"The stolen maple leaf gold coins?"
"It's a piece from Italy...well, it should be said to be a set of things, which was made by the Italian collector Edgeworth Ralph of the last century before his death. The artistic value of the gold coins with the maple leaf pattern printed on the cover is actually second, mainly because the gold as the body of the gold coin is very valuable." The curator explained like a treasure.
"This batch of gold coins was half donated and half kept in the Naples Museum by his descendants. Usually only a part of them is displayed, and the others are locked in the safe. It was only about two years ago that the batch of gold coins was sold by someone for The incomprehensible way stole the ~www.mtlnovel.com~ incomprehensible way?" Hearing the name of Naples, Italy, Guan Dounan suddenly thought of the "enthusiasm" organization in Jojo's fifth volume, which is an organization mainly active in Italy. , a mafia organization with many stand-in messengers among its members. Could it be that they used the stand-in ability to do it?
"I just heard about it, and I don't know the details." The curator shook his head regretfully, "I heard from a private collector friend two days ago that there seems to be a foreigner's face recently. People are asking prices around with pure gold coins without patterns, maybe the group of people who stole the gold coins came to Neon."
"Foreigners..." Guan Dounan chewed on this keyword and recalled the investigation he had done before.
After confirming that there are avatars and Kudo Shinichi in this world, he deliberately searched for some keywords when he was familiar with the world, such as the SPW consortium, the bizarre events that happened in Egypt from 1986 to 1988, the small boy named Duwang Town. Towns, musicians whose surnames are empty bars, etc., but no relevant information can be found at all.
Does this mean that this world has nothing to do with "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", it just happens that a superpower called "substitute" appears, just like traveling to different works with all kinds of messy systems, messing up the original work settings are the same.
But...is that true?
"If you can get maple leaf gold coins from them, it will be able to reverse the business situation here, but... Forget it, you can take a good tour today. I'm afraid there won't be too many opportunities like this in the future." The curator shook his head and put his hands behind his back. Behind him, he left slowly.
I don't know if it was an illusion or not, Guan Dounan felt that the figure of the curator was a little hunched.
