Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

In a nearby lounge, Yatsuro Enzaburo sat by the window, turning his head to watch the host on the stage on the first floor announcing the start of the auction, silent.

The assistant sitting nearby did not dare to disturb Yashiro Enzaburo, causing the atmosphere in the room to be a bit dull.

Yashiro Enzaburo ignored the atmosphere and silently thought about the auction items mentioned in the email he received in the morning.

Boxes, swords, rings, drinking horns, jars, golden snake statues...

Six things, the adult asked him to choose three to buy at will. Of course, he can also buy two or four, but he must ensure that these six things do not fall into the hands of outsiders. In addition, he also needs to cooperate with the adult. Act out a play.

The task is not difficult, but it is not easy to complete it well. You must put some effort into it.

"I hope you can enjoy the various treasures tonight and have an unforgettable night..."

When the host on the stage saw Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko coming down the stairwell on the second floor, he felt relieved and continued, "We have prepared a gift for every guest present, and then the staff will deliver the gifts." It will be distributed to everyone. Two days later, the Suzuki Tower will officially hold an opening ceremony. In addition to the souvenirs from this auction, the gifts given to you also include an invitation letter to the opening ceremony. You can bring it with you on the official opening day of the Suzuki Tower. Come with friends or family, the 460-meter-high observation deck will be opened for the first time, and we will also provide you with a buffet of lunch and refreshments..."

Under the stage, a staff member handed out gift boxes packed with exquisite paper bags along the seats.

Even the staff of Nippon TV station who were broadcasting live received a gift each.

During the gift distribution, the host introduced the Suzuki Tower that was about to open. After Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki arrived at the stage, arranged their clothes and nodded in confirmation, they changed the topic, "Now, let us invite the organizer of this auction. Mr. Suzuki Shiro, the president of Fang Suzuki Foundation, and Mrs. Suzuki Tomoko, Mr. Suzuki Shiro’s wife, came to the stage to deliver speeches..."

After the Suzuki couple came on stage, they simply expressed their gratitude to those present and quickly left the stage, allowing the auction to enter the official auction session.

For this auction, the Suzuki Foundation invited three well-known appraisers from Japan and three well-known foreign appraisers to form a team of appraisal masters. They not only appraised the auction items before the auction, but also during the formal auction. Let the appraisal team make some professional introductions to the auction items.

When the auction items are displayed, the staff will also use high-definition cameras to capture the details clearly and display them on the big screen and tablet computers in the lounge on the second floor, so that people in the venue can see the details clearly.

This kind of auction can be completely used as a 'treasure viewing and appraisal' program.

The program team of Rimai TV has obtained the qualification to enter the live broadcast and does not need to do much work. The staff put the camera pointed at the stage and can wait for the auction to proceed peacefully.

The first three auction items are all small items used to warm up.

For example, auction item No. 3 is a bronze bell about the size of a child’s fist. It has no patterns on the surface and has an old-fashioned appearance. Apart from being well-preserved, there is almost nothing worth paying attention to. And precisely because of the good preservation, the bell looks It doesn't look like an antique, so not many people are interested in bells.

Of course, this does not mean that the three items are not valuable. At an ordinary auction, these items can be regarded as treasures.

During the display of the auction items, the host also guided the appraisers to tell the value of the items, such as the year when the bell was made, its unique material and craftsmanship, and the characteristics of the times reflected on it. With the detailed display, the appetizers It also seemed particularly precious. Coupled with the host's occasional expressions of admiration, the program was fully effective.

Within twenty minutes, the first three auction items were auctioned one after another.

Although the host and the appraiser cooperated to talk about the advantages of the auction items and let some people try to bid, no one at the scene was incited to get excited. When someone bid a higher price, many people I chose to give up, and the final transaction price of the auction items was basically within the range of everyone’s expectations.

Fei Mozhengtai took the picture of the bell without encountering any obstacles. After a little persistence, he bought the bell at the expected price.

The other two items among the three auction items were photographed by two guests on the first floor.

"The next auction item is even more rare. It is an antiquities from the 16th and 17th centuries, but like the bell of auction item No. 3, it is very well preserved. What is even more rare is that it is a ceramic product... When the staff brought the things to the stage in the display cabinet, the host smiled and gave a general introduction. When he saw the pottery jar, a trace of just the right exclamation appeared on his face, "Although this is not the first time I have seen it, I still want to ask. Wait, is this really an antique? It looks newer than the jar my father used twenty years ago..."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

On the second floor, Koshimizu Nanatsuki was sitting by the window, holding a tablet computer and eager to try.

"First let others push the price higher, and then directly offer a higher price to cap it," Chi Feichi reminded, then paused, "Of course, if you find the bidding interesting, you can also bid from a low price. to high prices.”

"Forget it," Koshimizu Nanatsuki decisively chose to be lazy, "I'd better wait until the price is almost the same before bidding. It's too troublesome to keep bidding from the low price."

Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako were sitting nearby. When they noticed Kuroba Kaito opening the door and coming in, they said, "Kaito, you're too slow to go to the bathroom. You've already auctioned off three items!" Kuroba Kaito went to the second floor and within two minutes, he used the excuse of going to the bathroom to inquire about the news outside the lounge where Suzuki Jirokichi was. He knew that he had been away for a long time this time, so he scratched his head and smiled, "Ah, sorry, is it the fourth auction item now?" "Yes," Nakamori Aoko shifted her attention and shared excitedly, "Brother Feichi and Sister Nanatsuki were planning to take the picture of that jar. You almost... I just missed the bid!"

"That pottery jar?" Kuroba Kaito closed the door, sat next to Nakamori Aoko, and looked at Chi Feichi with a puzzled look, "Brother Feichi, what did you buy that for?"

"Of course I bought it for collection," Chi Feichi said calmly, "The pattern on it looks very pleasing to the eye."

Kuroba Kaito saw that Chi Feichi was completely buying a toy, and his mouth twitched. Then he deliberately put on a serious expression and asked, "Brother Feichi, do you like me? As long as you give me half the pocket money of that jar, I can be collected by you forever as your younger brother!"

Nakamori Aoko covered her face.

Half the pocket money of that jar...Kaito really dared to say it.

Kuroba Kaito saw Chi Feichi put his eyes on him and asked with a smile, "What do you think of my proposal?"

Chi Feichi looked at Kuroba Kaito calmly, "I haven't developed the hobby of making my younger brother into a human specimen for collection..."

Kuroba Kaito: "? !"

What human specimen?

"It feels a bit bloody and inhumane," Chi Feichi continued to look at Kuroba Kaito, "but if you think it's okay..."

"No!" Kuroba Kaito's scalp tingled, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Chi Feichi's eyes were a little cold. He suspected that Chi Feichi had demonstrated the process of making him into a specimen in his mind. He stared at Chi Feichi vigilantly and said, "This is not a bit bloody, this is very bloody, okay? I'm talking about collecting living things!"

"If it's not made into a specimen, and you unfortunately die in an accident outside, wouldn't I lose a collection forever?" Chi Feichi asked calmly.

"You..." Kuroba Kaito's mouth twitched, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. If you make me into a specimen, I won't be able to explain to my father who has passed away for many years!" "Okay, Kaito, be quiet for a while," Nakamori Aoko saw Nanatsuki Koshimizu inputting numbers on the tablet, and excitedly reached out and grabbed Kuroba Kaito's arm, "Sister Nanatsuki is going to bid!" Kuroba Kaito turned his head to look at the big screen outside the window, "For this kind of thing, as long as you call a similar price, no one should bid..." The big screen quickly popped up Nanatsuki Koshimizu's bid and the corresponding lounge number, and the host also read out the number. Before the host finished speaking, a new number popped up on the big screen. "Huh?" Nakamori Aoko was a little surprised, "Lounge No. 8 also made a bid? Does the person in that lounge also want this jar?"

Kuroba Kaito saw that he had made a mistake in his prediction, but he was not upset. He looked at the big screen seriously, "Nanatsuki's bid was one million higher than the previous highest bid, and they just added one million to Nanatsuki's bid..."

Chi Feichi saw Yueshui Nanatsuki looking at him, and said decisively, "Add one million."
