Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

The next day, at 2:30 p.m.

Chi Feichi sat in the dining room of Suzuki Jiroji's house, looking at "Sunflowers" hanging on the wall, with information about "gold", "harvest" and "finance" still in his mind.

After the war, the reason why the Federal Reserve dared to announce that the US dollar could be directly exchanged for gold was because the shareholder families of the Federal Reserve held a large amount of gold at that time, which could mobilize more than half of the world's gold. This became the confidence of the Federal Reserve to announce that the US dollar was linked to gold.

At that time, the shareholders of the Federal Reserve also discussed an interest distribution agreement based on the gold reserves of each family.

Simply put, whichever family had more gold reserves at the time would have more say in it and could also get more benefits in the subsequent harvest.

It was around that time that the Warburg family sold part of its European industries, traded industries back and forth, collected funds, and exchanged some gold, just to gain more say and more benefits in the Federal Reserve.

Also after the war, his grandfather's grandfather, Karasuma Ren'ya, invited a large number of scholars to the Twilight Annex and forced them to find the treasure left by his mother. Later, it was proved that the treasure was the Twilight Annex - a large house built with gold.

Gold, gold, and gold...

In the same period, the Karasuma family and the Warburg family were so concerned about gold that it was hard not to associate them together.

Looking at the golden "Sunflowers" on the wall, he would think of the equally golden Twilight Annex.

In addition to the old financial families such as Warburg and Rothschild, there were actually some emerging families and small and medium-sized families who participated in it, such as Rockefeller.

What about the Karasuma family? Did the Karasuma family ever think of getting a share of it?

That year, Karasuma Ren'ya was eager to find the treasure left by his mother. Was it really just because he had little time left and wanted to find the treasure before he died? Or did he also want to take this opportunity to fight for some benefits for future generations on the other side of the ocean?

His grandfather was still in England at that time and had some contact with the Warburg family, so the Karasuma family had a chance to get the news. The Karasuma Group in this world was once extremely glorious. With the financial resources and influence of the Karasuma family at that time, they should be able to get a ticket to share the cake. As long as the Karasuma family chooses to enter and shows enough gold reserves, they can share a piece of the cake.

But Karasuma Renye didn't seem to find the treasure in the Twilight Annex that year. He was not sure whether the Karasuma family participated in the carnival and successfully obtained some benefits.

In addition, more than 40 years ago, some political and economic celebrities gathered at the Twilight Annex to participate in the auction. Did they only want to share the art collected by Karasuma Renye? What those people wanted to find was the treasure of the Karasuma family and some rights that could bring wealth and honor to their descendants?

Last night, he wanted to ask his grandfather about these things in detail, but in the second half of the conversation, his grandfather focused on "how to harvest leeks and how to be a successful capitalist", and spent most of the time analyzing financial harvesting operations with him. After talking about these, it was already past midnight, and his grandfather said he was tired, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, if the Karasuma family really participated in the division of relevant interests in the past, his grandfather would probably tell him when he has time in the future...

"Mr. Chi..."

Charlie walked into the restaurant and greeted Chi Feichi. Seeing Chi Feichi turned his head and looked at him, he explained, "Advisor Suzuki was studying the rice cakes you brought in the kitchen before, and accidentally knocked over the soy sauce bottle in the kitchen and stained his clothes. He had to go back to his room to change his clothes, so he asked us to come and have afternoon tea with you first!"

Higashi Yukiji, Miyadai Natsumi, Keiko-Anderson, Kishi Kumiko, and Ishimine Taizo followed Charlie into the door. Except for Maori Kogoro, the other six of the 'Seven Samurai' were all there.

"Mr. Chi, good afternoon..."

"Mr. Chi, we meet again."

Everyone greeted Chi Feichi, pulled out the chairs, and sat on the other side of the long dining table.

"Good afternoon."

Chi Feichi sat on the left side of the main seat at the dining table and turned his head to respond to the greetings of a group of people.

In order to conveniently watch the "Sunflower" hanging on the wall, Chi Feichi pulled the chair he was sitting on towards the wall. After greeting a group of people, he did not rush to pull the chair straight, and moved his eyes to the "Sunflower" on the wall.

"Are we not late?" Suzuki Sonoko and Koshimizu Nanatsuki walked into the restaurant with the Junior Detective Team. After entering the door, they looked around, "Huh? Uncle Jiroji hasn't arrived yet?"

Keiko Anderson and Suzuki Sonoko are also familiar with each other, and explained with a smile, "The consultant stained his clothes in the kitchen..."

Charlie paid attention to Conan at the first time. After Keiko Anderson finished explaining, he asked, "Why are the children here too?"

"When Nanatsuki and I came back from shopping outside, we happened to see these five little ghosts At the door, they said they had something important to tell Uncle Jiroyoshi, so I brought them in," Suzuki Sonoko walked to the left side of the dining table where Chi Feichi was sitting, and pulled out the chair next to Chi Feichi. As she spoke, she reached out and pushed Yueshui Nanatsuki onto the chair, and pulled out the chair next to Yueshui Nanatsuki and sat down, then turned around and greeted the five children, "Little kids, sit down wherever you want, Uncle Jiroyoshi should be here soon!"

Two maids pushed the dining cart in and brought cups of black tea and snacks to the table.

The five members of the Young Detective Team sat down on the other side of Suzuki's garden one after another, and the three children were still chattering.

"I didn't expect Brother Chi and Sister Nanatsuki to be here..."

"Hey, look, there are a lot of "Sunflowers" on the wall!"

"that is true……"

"Brother Feichi and Sister Nanatsuki came here today to look at "Sunflowers"," Suzuki Sonoko also turned to look at the "Sunflowers" on the wall, "Because Uncle Jiroji promised to Brother Feichi that after gathering seven paintings of "Sunflowers" Brother Fei Chi was invited to come and appreciate it, so Uncle Jiroji asked people to put the paintings here. However, these seven paintings will only be displayed here until five o'clock in the afternoon. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Jiroji will ask people to put these seven paintings. Take down the painting and send it to the Ray Kroc Art Museum where the painting exhibition is held..."

"Putting these paintings here is relatively risky," Charlie added, "but we have deployed manpower outside the house, and everyone who enters will be inspected. It should not be easy for Kaito Kid to sneak in."

Conan was sitting on a chair, his upper body mostly blocked by the dining table. Hearing Charlie talk about Kidd, he asked aloud, "Is there anything happening with Kidd today?"

"No!" Suzuki Jirokichi walked into the restaurant, raised his right hand, raised two fingers to a group of people, and said with an energetic smile, "We have taken the painting back from that thief twice, and we probably let that thief The thief must be feeling distressed because there was no movement from him yesterday and today!”

Conan smiled inwardly and cast his gaze in the direction of Chi Feichi.

That big thief won't be troubled so easily, right? If Kidd wasn't watching secretly, he might have gone to investigate something...

After Suzuki Jirokichi entered the door, Chi Feichi stood up and straightened the chair he was sitting on.

Suzuki Jirokichi walked to the main seat of the dining table, stretched out his hand to pull out the chair, turned his head and looked at the "Sunflowers" on the wall behind him, and asked with a smile, "Fei Chi, it feels good to look at the seven "Sunflowers" together. Bar?"
