Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

The two settled the matter in a few words and began to discuss the price of the bronze statue.

Mouri Kogoro originally only wanted to receive a few hundred or thousands of yen as a token fee, but Chi Feichi felt that he was taking too much advantage, and there was no point in buying the bronze statue.

And if the price is set too high, Mouri Kogoro will feel like he is selling a gift from a friend for money, and he will feel uncomfortable.

The two could never reach an agreement on the price. Toru Amuro thought about it and helped set a price of 50,000 yen, which was much lower than the actual value of the bronze statue, but not too low to sell.

Neither Chi Feichi nor Mouri Kogoro wanted to waste too much time talking about the price. They felt that the price proposed by Toru Amuro was acceptable, so they agreed. They printed out a purchase and sale agreement that included the exhibition terms on the spot, and both parties signed it.

An hour later, staff sent by the museum moved the bronze statue away.

Kogoro Mouri followed the museum with great interest, personally selected the location for the bronze statue to be displayed, and watched the staff make a sign introducing the bronze statue.

After the museum closed that night, the staff moved the bronze statue to the exhibition area designated by Kogoro Mori, took photos and posted them on the blog to promote the new exhibits.

The next day, the bronze statue was officially put on display. After hearing the news, some fans of Kogoro Mori excitedly ran to the museum to take photos with the bronze statue of Kogoro Mori. Some reporters heard the news and rushed to the museum early to buy tickets, just to I was able to take photos of the bronze statue earlier and write a report.

The museum sold a lot of tickets early in the morning. In order to ensure the visitor experience, the ticket office was closed at 9:30 a.m. and a sign was hung at the ticket office saying "Tickets will be sold again at 2 p.m."

The Maori father and daughter and Conan originally planned to go to the museum to see the display of the bronze statue, but they didn't even buy tickets. Although they could let Chi Fei open the back door late to visit the museum, the three of them already knew Maori Kogoro outside the museum. The bronze statue was very popular, so I didn't plan to visit the museum again. I met Chi Feichi at a cafe in a nearby building. I sat in front of the window facing the street and watched the people entering and leaving the museum from a distance.

"Hey, why do I feel like I made a big loss by selling the bronze statue?" Mouri Kogoro touched his chin with his right hand, "If this statue is placed in the museum, it should be able to earn back 50,000 yen for the museum soon, right?"

"I said yesterday that you can set a price of several hundred thousand yen, which is not too high," Chi Feichi said calmly, "I won't lose money anyway."

"I think everyone is just curious now. After a few days, everyone will no longer be so curious, and the bronze statue will not attract so many people," Mao Lilan said with a smile, "and everyone bought tickets to enter the museum. , not only to visit the bronze statue, but also definitely want to see other exhibits, so there will be so many people visiting the museum, not just because there are bronze statues in the museum, Dad, don’t be arrogant!"

"Actually, I'm also a little curious about that bronze statue." Haiyuan Ai sat next to Chi Feichi, using a straw to stir the juice and ice cubes in the cup. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to go back to the doctor's office so early yesterday. It’s home, but from now on the bronze statue belongs to Brother Chi. I can see it anytime, but I’m not in a rush.”

Mouri Kogoro reached out and touched his chest, and said with a depressed look, "I feel very sad when I hear the little sad kid say that the bronze statue is too late. It seems that I have lost something very important. How can I still be arrogant? Feeling……"

"If I get tired of keeping it at home, I can let you keep the bronze statue for a few years, but even if you regret it, I won't give it back to you," Chi Feichi looked at Maori Kogoro calmly. Face, "When you wait a hundred years, I will rely on this bronze statue to miss you."

Mouri Kogoro didn't know whether he should be moved or not, and said with a black line, "You think so far ahead..."

"After all, this bronze statue is well designed. The posture of sleeping Kogoro makes the teacher deep and mysterious," Chi Feichi continued, "In this way, no matter how many years have passed, as long as we see the statue, I and everyone will still be able to Seeing the teacher at his coolest.”

"I also think this bronze statue is cool," Mao Lilan couldn't help laughing. "If my father becomes an old man with bad ears and loves to nag in the future, or when he gets so old that I will have forgotten what he looks like now. , I can also go and see the bronze statue, and then I can remember how cool and awesome my dad looks!"

Seeing that his apprentice and daughter both wanted to remember his coolest appearance, Mouri Kogoro's eyes turned red and he whispered, "You guys are really making it sound like I won't be cool anymore when I get older..."

"But if my father dies of old age in the future, I will have to go to Brother Fei Chi's house to see the bronze statue," Mao Lilan said regretfully. "Thinking about it, I also regret selling the bronze statue."

Chi Feichi: "Or... after the teacher passes away, how about I donate the bronze statue to him as a tombstone and put it in front of his grave?"

Mao Lilan: "Huh? That's not bad. When we want to see my father in the future, we can go to his grave. However, the bronze statue will take up a lot of space. Generally, cemeteries should not leave such a large space for people to display it. Let’s put the bronze statue…”

Chi Feichi: "Don't worry about the cemetery. I can have someone help the teacher find a good place when the time comes."

"Do you want to discuss how to hold my funeral and who needs to be invited to attend?" Mouri Kogoro said with a resentful look.

Mao Lilan glanced at Mao Li Kogoro with half-moon eyes and said, "If you don't want us to discuss this too early, then please drink more moderately in the future!"

Maori Kogoro:"……"

What does it mean to rake someone down? This is!

His drinking and his funeral... forget it, he couldn't promise that he would stop drinking in the future, and he felt inexplicably that he was a little unjust.

"But it's really too early for us to discuss this," Mao Lilan smiled at Chi Feichi, "I think a certain sloppy uncle can live for many years!"

Chi Feichi nodded in approval, "I think so too."

"Okay, I don't mind others saying this, I just think you are thinking too far. It feels weird to hear someone discussing how to remember yourself after your death, okay?" Mouri Kogoro complained, very He quickly stood up and moved the chair back a little, leaned forward, put one arm on his leg, made a fist with the other hand to support his chin, and assumed the same sleeping Kogoro posture as the bronze statue, with his head lowered. His expression was deep and serious, "But do you really think my sleeping position is cool?"

Mao Lilan joked a little amusingly, "Compared with your usual unattractive appearance, the sleeping Maori Kogoro looks much more reliable, and of course he will look cool!"

"You won't understand. I think that's the real me, or that's another me in my body!" Mouri Kogoro straightened up, pulled the chair back to its original position, and looked at Chi seriously. Fei Chi, "Fei Chi, I remember you had two personalities before, right? When one of the personalities appears, the other will fall asleep. Am I right?"

Chi Feichi nodded, "That's right."

"When the sleeping personality wakes up, it won't remember what it said or did before, right?" Mouri Kogoro asked again.

Chi Feichi continued to nod, "That's right."

"Then when you switch personalities, will you have a..." Mouri Kogoro paused, "For example, a sudden tingling sensation in your neck?"

"That's not true." Chi Feichi said truthfully.

"Then why do I have it?" Mouri Kogoro touched his chin in confusion.

Haihara Ai glanced at Conan.

That's because someone gave me an anesthesia injection.

"But everyone's physical condition is different, and slight differences are understandable." Mouri Kogoro quickly found the answer for himself, "In short, the situation when I fall asleep is very similar to schizophrenia..."

"Then do you want me to accompany you to the hospital for a checkup some other time?" Mao Lilan asked worriedly.

"I don't think it's necessary," Mouri Kogoro waved his hand casually, "That personality seems to like reasoning very much. It only appears when he wants to reason, and it doesn't affect my daily life..."
