Conan: Silence in the Dark

"That sunflower is no longer with me. Xiao Jing sat down and glanced around, even if he didn't understand, but through simple viewing, the paintings in this gallery did not look like ordinary paintings.

"But the ownership is still in your hands. Teng brewed the coffee and pushed it in front of Xiao Jing.

"I'm a kid. Although Xiao Jing said this, she still picked up the coffee and drank it.

"I can't be an ordinary kid who can be with my young head of the family. "

Xiao Jing turned to look at Lu Jiu at this time, and Lu Jiu shook his head and said that he had not revealed his information.

"The painting was given to the Tokyo Art Museum, you should know, right?" Since the ownership is still in his hands, since it was not revealed by Lu Jiu, then it is the art museum.

"Well, I also have my own news channel, so I hope to sell the painting to me for two billion. "

"But didn't you say it was a fake?"

"It's true that the painting is a fake, but I have a client who must buy it. "

"Two billion to buy a fake?" Xiao Jing looked at Tengchong puzzled, Xiao Jing thought that Tengchong's identification was wrong, but it was actually genuine, and the sunflower as a treasure was not expensive even if it was two billion.

"Yes, I'm paying two billion here, this is my client's price, I think you will be satisfied. "

"I can't believe you because you're so high. "If it's really a fake, when the special appraisal results come out, then the sunflower is only a 600,000 fake at most, and when the time comes, Teng Chong can buy it back again if he sells a million.

"The price is from the client, not me, but have you read today's newspaper?"

"Newspaper?".

"Here it is. Teng Chong went to the table next to him, took a newspaper, and pointed to a section.

"The original sunflowers were found in Japan by Director Sasaki and will be exhibited soon. The newspaper also included a picture of Sasaki holding a sunflower.

"What's going on?" Sasaki and Tengchong really confused Xiao Jing.

Tengchong argued that the painting was a fake, and it was indeed given to him at that time, but now it costs two billion yuan to buy it back. Sasaki, on the other hand, was convinced that it was genuine, and it was exhibited before it had been professionally appraised.

"It's better to be taken back by the owner before the exhibition than to exhibit a fake, isn't it?".

Xiao Jing looked at Tengchong's eyes, and that serious look didn't look like lying.

"I'm sorry, but it still doesn't work. Xiao Jing thought in silence for a moment, and finally chose to believe Sasaki.

"Smack!" the door was violently pushed open.

"Tengchong!!" Sasaki's high heels slammed into the ground, and after identifying the target, he walked quickly in front of Tengchong, the sound made Xiao Jing frown a little.

"Isn't this Miss Sasaki! Tengchong replied calmly.

"You guy, you run a gallery that specializes in selling fakes, and secretly do shady deals! The rumors are not wrong at all!".

"No, no, no, of course that's a rumor. "

"I used to have such a great reputation in the New York art world, but now I have become like this!"

"That's in the past, Curator Sasaki. "

"Xiao Jing, don't be deceived by him! This guy who smells of copper all over his body has the idea of a sunflower!" Sasaki ignored Teng Chong and admonished Xiao Jing.

"Curator Sasaki, please calm down. Lu Jiu persuaded at the right time.

"It's rude, I received the news and rushed to it, hoping that the incident has not yet reached the point of no return. Sasaki was reminded that he also calmed down.

"I don't know how you learned that Xiao Jing is the owner of Sunflower, but Xiao Jing has signed a contract with our museum. "

"I'll pay the breach of contract fee well, and your art museum can't get the price of 2 billion for a while, right?"

"That's a human treasure, how can I sell someone like you!".

"Well, I didn't say sell it. Xiao Jing reminded as she watched the conversation between the two of them.

"That's it, Jing! can't be sold to this villain!" Sasaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"But is that sunflower really a fake?" Lu Jiu mentioned at this time.

"Of course it's genuine!" Sasaki immediately denied.

"Well, if Mr. Tengchong can prove that the painting is a fake, I will resell it to you. Xiao Jing suggested.

"It's true that it's not good to exhibit as a fake. Lu Jiu also helped.

"If he can really prove it!" Seeing that Xiao Jing and Lu Jiu both said this, Sasaki had no opinion.

"Then let's ask Curator Sasaki to take us to the location of the sunflowers. Tengchong put on his coat directly, and he looked like he was winning.

The crowd then went to the Tokyo Museum of Art.

"Mr. Tengchong

?" But Tengchong had no intention of going in immediately.

"Wait a minute. "

"Please let me introduce my client. A dark-skinned woman in a cloak soon got out of the taxi and walked to Tengchong's side.

"This is Shaya, a foreigner as you can see. "

Looking at the dress, it should be someone from the Arab side, saying that the black skin is actually closer to brown, and Xiao Jing, who is below, can still peek through part of the face through the gap in the cloak.

"This child is the current owner of the sunflower, and the sunflower is inside. Teng Chong conversed with Shaya in English.

Shaya bowed to Xiao Jing and Sasaki after Tengchong's explanation.

"Hello. Xiao Jing subconsciously returned the salute.

"Then please show proof that this painting is a fake. "The sunflower has been hung up, and it seems that the exhibition that Sasaki said may be recently.

"Shaya!".

Following Tengchong's prompt, Shaya reached out and took off the cloak, and then walked towards Sunflower.

"No!" However, Sasaki was startled by the action of Shaya taking down the sunflower, and if Teng Chong hadn't stopped him, Sasaki would have pounced on Shaya.

"Shaya is a princess of a small Arab country, and her father loves art, and sunflowers are his favorite. Shaya took off her smock as Teng Chong explained, revealing her right hand wrapped in bandages.

And the country

was invaded, the country was shattered, the king died, and Shaya escaped with his father's favorite painting. Shaya untied the bandage and placed her hand between the two blackened blackened sections of the sunflower.

The scar on the arm fits perfectly with the painting.

This is the proof that the painting was bought by Shaya's father from Africa twenty years ago, at a time when real sunflowers were still on display in art museums in the United States. Tengchong took out a photo of a father and daughter with sunflowers in the background.

"It's a pity that this is a fake, something that originally belonged to Shaya. "

"But the sunflowers in the Tokyo Art Museum are still on display?" Xiaolan asked strangely after listening.

"Is that painting a fake?" said the doctor, somewhat surprised.

"It's true, it's been identified. Conan denied it.

"What's going on?" the garden told Xiao Jing not to play dumb riddles.

"Obviously, you yourself interrupted my ......," Xiao Jing said dumbly.

"Because the appraisers were from abroad, even if I brought them back at the time, they were already on the plane. After I returned the painting to Sister Shaya..."

"A painting has such a story!" "Kako was moved to tears after Lu Jiu told her the details.

"However, for the sake of the museum's reputation, we announced that we had recycled the paintings. Because the appraiser will arrive today, Xiao Jing discussed with Lu Jiu.

"Well, it's better for us to break the contract. "

"Young master, Mr. Tengchong has come to visit. "

"Yo, the young masters and young ladies of my family. Teng Chong joked as soon as he came in with a rectangular object.

"Is Mr. Tengchong here to help pay the liquidated damages?" Xiao Jing said angrily.

"I'm here to say thank you, thank you for returning the painting to Shaya, it just so happens that I have a fake here that is no problem no matter who comes to identify it, and it will be exchanged with your sunflowers!"

"You mean to give the museum a fake?" Xiao Jing didn't keep up with Tengchong's pace for a while.

"Absolutely, trust me!" Tengchong assured.

"Then give this to the art museum?" After Teng Chong left, Xiao Jing asked Lu Jiu uncertainly.

"Hmm. "

"Isn't a fake that is okay with anyone identifying, just the real thing?" Conan asked Jing.

"It's been a week since I figured it out. Xiao Jing had been waiting for the appraiser to say that the appraisal was wrong, and even admired Tengchong's ability to falsify.

"Then Xiaojing, please let me rent sunflowers!!".

"Okay. Xiao Jing glanced at everyone, this is no room for refusal at all.

"Now that I think about it, did Lu Jiu know it at that time?" Xiao Jing suddenly recalled Lu Jiu, who nodded without any hesitation.
