Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Lounge 2.

Chi Feichi was really thinking about the reason why the Suzuki family participated in the bidding, but he also guessed that the bid might be made by Suzuki Sonoko.

The bidding between him and Yashiro Enzaburo was relatively restrained and did not cause the Suzuki family to intervene. No matter what he thought, the Suzuki family had no reason to get involved at this time.

Since it cannot be explained logically, we can consider some reasons that have nothing to do with logic, such as Yuanzi, an unstable factor that may behave strangely...

After thinking about it, Chi Feichi hurriedly said before the host's countdown ended, "More water, add 10 million more."

"4...3..." The host saw the price increase on the handheld tablet and stopped the countdown, "The price increase for Lounge 2 is 10 million yen! The current auction price is 140 million yen..."

Yashiro Enzaburo thought about it, and with five seconds left in the countdown, he added another 10 million yen to the auction price.

"No need to add it, let it go."

Chi Feichi spoke to Koshimi Nanatsuki, closed his eyes, connected to the Ark with his left eye, and sent a message to Yashiro Enzaburo.

He asked Yashiro Enzaburo to cooperate with him in acting, just to try to conceal their motives for taking pictures of Bill Hall's sent items.

The two sides were grudged and accidentally bought one or two things at high prices that they didn't really want, and then bought one or two things they really wanted... Such a scenario would be more expensive than the tacit agreement between the two of them to divide the six auction items. It's much more natural, and it can also shift other people's focus from the issue of 'which company took what' to the issue of 'the feud between the two families'.

However, this joint show is almost over.

Since the Suzuki family suddenly intervened in the bidding, they took the opportunity to stop the vindictive bidding behavior, and then followed the normal auction order to bid for the remaining items...

Lounge No. 8.

Yashiro Enzaburo took out his mobile phone, looked at the text displayed on the mobile phone with lowered eyebrows, and quickly put the mobile phone away with a calm expression.

On the first floor, the host ended the countdown and announced the bidding results, "Congratulations to Lounge No. 8 for getting this cleverly designed mysterious machine box..."

"President," the assistant frowned and whispered, "the price of this box is 40 million higher than our previous estimate..."

"This kind of box disguised as a book is very rare. It is not like the objects that ordinary people have. In addition, the materials and production techniques are not simple. It is very collectible in itself. Spending an extra 40 million to buy it is nothing. " Yashiro Enzaburo said calmly, "And if it is confirmed that this is something used by a certain important figure in history, the value of the box may increase more than ten times, and it may even become a marketable and priceless collectible. This box has Such potential.”

The assistant once again admired his president's peaceful mind and nodded, "You are right."

"Don't raise the price so high anymore. Enough is enough. This is an auction organized by the Suzuki family. If it gets too big, not only the Chi family will be unhappy, but the Suzuki family may also be unhappy."

Yashiro Enzaburo explained in a serious tone, feeling extremely relaxed when he thought of what he had just seen on his mobile phone.

Acting mission accomplished.

And he has already taken the cans and boxes. He will take another item later. His auction task here is considered completed.

…

The next auction item is a gemstone ring that is suspected to belong to the Red Magic family.

Yashiro Enzaburo offered a price that was slightly higher than the estimated price, causing other bidders to give up their bids.

Chi Feichi didn't call out the price anymore, allowing Yashiro Enzaburo to successfully take the shot of the gemstone ring.

Courtesy reciprocated, and when Chi Feichi later bid for the glass drinking corner, Yashiro Enzaburo did not bid, allowing Chi Feichi to successfully bid for the drinking corner.

Others noticed that both parties seemed to have no intention of continuing the fight, and they understood very well - the No. 12 Lounge where the Suzuki family was located suddenly made a bid. That bid probably sent a message to both parties for the Suzuki family's sake. Don't have any more conflicts. No matter what, the organizer still has to give face, so it's normal for both sides to cease fighting.

Seeing the scene, the person in charge of the program team of Japanese TV station suddenly entered the peaceful mode. He felt a little regretful and sighed, but he was not too upset.

This program...no, the auction items in this auction are all high-quality, and the host is very good at inciting the atmosphere. Even if there is no consortium fight like just now, just broadcasting the normal auction process can still guarantee the ratings.

…

As the auction progressed, one by one the auction items were photographed one after another. Yashiro Enzaburo also photographed a set of old books, and Chi Feichi also photographed a ruby ​​as a cover.

The sword that Chi Feichi really targeted was classified as a "high-value item" by the person in charge of the auction due to its bright blade and multiple gems inlaid on the hilt. Although it was not the finale of the auction, the bidding time was also Was placed late in the auction.

And this sword did not live up to the expectations of the person in charge of the auction. As soon as it came on the stage, most people on the first and second floors participated in the bidding, and the auction price quickly rose from 10 million to more than 100 million.

"Lounge No. 2..." The host looked at the quotation on the handheld tablet. Seeing that the increase number was ridiculously long and the final bid was exactly an integer, he decisively chose to just shout the final bid, "The bid is 300 million yen!"

The room fell silent for a moment.

This price has exceeded everyone's psychological expectations. After the host's ten-second countdown ended, no one raised the price.

When Tomoko Suzuki heard the host announce that the sword was taken in Lounge No. 2, she felt that she was becoming more and more uncertain about Chi Feichi's acting style. She rubbed her chin and thought, "I thought he would offer a price higher than the expected price." He added a certain price and then increased the price depending on the situation. I didn’t expect that he would increase the price so much at once, which was nearly 100 million yen higher than the estimated price.”

Seeing that her mother was still thinking about Chi Feichi's thoughts, Suzuki Sonoko said with a speechless face, "Brother Feichi hates trouble sometimes. He probably didn't want to bid back and forth with others anymore, so he just made a bid that didn't know how to do it." Someone is competing with him for the price... Speaking of which, the auction is about to end. Aren’t you and my dad going to make closing speeches now? "

"It's too troublesome," Tomoko Suzuki waved her hand casually, "You can go with your dad later, I won't go."

Twenty minutes later, the auction session officially ended.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was forced to open her business, accompanied Suzuki Shiro on the stage, expressed her gratitude to those present, and announced the end of the auction.

The auction staff began to follow the auction list, found the buyer of the items, confirmed the delivery status of the auction items with the buyer, and assisted the buyer to complete the payment.

Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko didn't stay long. After Nakamori Aoko received a call from Nakamori Ginzo, he said goodbye to Chi Feichi and others, and followed the first batch of people to leave the auction venue.

Chi Feichi gave the check corresponding to the amount of the auction items to the staff, and asked the staff to put the auction items in a safe and send them to his car. He saw that the first floor was full of people greeting each other with pleasantries, and Nanatsuki Koshizu and Kurenai Koizumi. Zi stayed in the lounge for a while, and waited until the people on the first floor were almost gone before taking the two of them away.

Koizumi Hongzi walked out of the lounge and saw no one in the corridor. She asked in a low voice, "I have prepared the replacement replicas in advance and put them all on the car. How do we put those two things now?" Change it over?"

Chi Feichi also lowered his voice and said, "We will act according to the situation when we get to the parking lot."
