Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

After two days of classes, Kurosawa Rin recovered from her fever and had another weekend.

He plans to go to the art gallery this weekend and buy the black dagger he is obsessed with before the red scarf.

This time, he did not hide it from Miyano Akemi, but planned to go to the art museum with her, so that the people in the art museum would not take what he said seriously because he was young.

After getting dressed, Kurosawa Rin walked downstairs and looked at Miyano Akemi who was waiting aside.

"Sister Mingmei, let's go."

The two drove to the art museum. Miyano Akemi said with some surprise while driving:

"I didn't expect Rin to be interested in things in the art museum!"

"Is it because you saw something interesting in the museum last time that you became interested in these things?"

Kurosawa Rin didn't know how to explain it, so he just laughed.

"That may be the case..."

The art museum arrived soon.

After entering the art museum, Kurosawa Rin's direction was very clear, and he went directly to the Hell Hall to find the pitch-black dagger.

In a corner of the dark exhibition hall, Kurosawa discovered it.

"Is this the dagger..."

Kurosawa Rin looked at the dagger in the display case. The dark blade had no reflection, but it made people feel its sharpness and toughness. The blade was not streamlined but had sharp edges and corners.

It is about 30 centimeters long and has blood grooves on both sides. It can be seen that the person who made it must not simply regard it as a work of art.

"Night banquet..."

Kurosawa Rin looked at the sign on the display cabinet and softly read its name.

"Do you like this dagger too?"

There was a voice behind him, and Kurosawa Rin turned around to see a very energetic old man with white hair and beard walking slowly towards the display case.

Kurosawa Rin nodded and looked at the dagger again: "Well, I like this dagger very much."

"Just looking at it, the fear in my heart seems to be brought out little by little."

Inexplicably recalling the prophecy that night, Kurosawa Rin's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, but what appeared on the outside was a very strong enthusiasm and desire for this dagger.

The old man was slightly startled when he heard Kurosawa Rin's opinion: "Your opinion on this dagger is really unique."

"I feel that this dagger is a low-key, restrained and excellent work of art." The old man said with a smile.

"Is it a work of art..." Kurosawa Rin's eyes flickered, neither denying nor expressing agreement.

The old man introduced himself very happily and said:

"I'm really glad that you like my collection so much."

"Let me introduce myself, I am the curator of the art museum, Ochiai."

Kurosawa Rin was not very surprised. He already knew the identity of the other party and introduced himself politely: "Hello, Director Ochiai, I am Kurosawa Rin."

"This is Miyano Akemi."

Miyano Akemi nodded in greeting.

"There is one thing I want to discuss with you, the curator."

Kurosawa Rin walked straight in and directly talked about the main purpose of coming here today.

"I want to buy this dagger."

"I wonder, Director Ochiai, if you can part with me?"

Director Ochiai was stunned for a moment, then looked at the very immature boy in front of him with a slight smile.

"Haha, this kind of art is not something like a toy that can be bought just by asking for it."

He smiled and said: "Although I know you like this dagger very much, can you make the decision on this matter by yourself?"

"You know the artworks I have here are all valuable!"

The tone was a bit exaggerated, as if he wanted to scare himself away with the words "valuable".

Kurosawa Rin sighed helplessly. Was he really being treated as a joke?

He waved his hand, and Miyano Akemi behind him handed over a black bank card very cooperatively.

"I'm not kidding."

"But I really sincerely want to buy this dagger, Director Ochiai!" Kurosawa Rin smiled obediently and handed the bank card in his hand to Director Ochiai.

He was not worried that the old curator who was willing to sacrifice his reputation for artworks and dared to kill people would take his bank card and run away. Curator Ochiai's character was relatively trustworthy to Rin Kurosawa.

Director Ochiai looked at the bank card handed over by Kurosawa Rin and raised his eyebrows.

"I believe the money here is definitely enough to buy this dagger." Kurosawa Rin continued.

After a moment of silence, Director Ochiai did not accept the bank card, but smiled helplessly at Kurosawa Rin.

"It's a pity that although I am the curator here, the ownership of these artworks does not belong to me."

"I can't just agree to your request." Director Ochiai smiled bitterly.

"You should go find Boss Manaka. He not only bought the art gallery, but also bought all the art here."

Director Ochiai walked up to Ten Punishment, caressing the picture frame with his white-gloved hands, his tone a little lonely.

"I really didn't realize that he was just a despicable businessman who was obsessed with profit. I thought he was a true lover of art and that's why I agreed to hand over everything here to him."

"As a result, when he showed his true self, I didn't even have the ability to protect what I cherished most."

Director Ochiai raised his eyes and looked at the knights and demons in the heavenly punishment in front of him, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable light.

He chuckled and looked back at Kurosawa Rin kindly.

"You are very lucky. After a while, Boss Manaka will come here for a final inspection..."

"Before that, you can discuss with him about this 'Night Banquet'."

"Then I won't accompany you if I have something else to do."

Kurosawa Rin looked at the old curator in front of him meaningfully, paused and said:

"Then curator, please go and do your work. I will go find Boss Manaka when he comes later!"

"Hope everything goes well for you."

Kurosawa Rin showed a genuine smile and said this meaningless sentence.

Director Ochiai paused and continued walking out without stopping.

Kurosawa Rin and Miyano Akemi did not stop, but walked towards the outside of the Hell Hall.

"While waiting for Boss Zhenzhong, we can visit other exhibition halls."

Kurosawa Rin walked aimlessly in the direction of other exhibition halls, and Miyano Akemi, who was following behind him, finally had the opportunity to express her doubts.

"Um, Rin?"

"Um?"

"Why do you suddenly want to buy that knife..."

Miyano Akemi was a little hesitant. She thought Kurosawa Rin came here simply to appreciate the art.

She was also surprised when she heard that Rin Kurosawa wanted to buy "The Night Banquet". If Rin Kurosawa insisted on buying it, there was nothing Miyano Akemi could do to stop it.

But you still have to ask yourself why.

Kurosawa Rin didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he dreamed that he would be killed with this dagger, so he wanted to buy it first, right?

He replied thoughtfully:

"Maybe you think this dagger looks like me?"

He scratched his face in embarrassment and turned around with a smile.

"Because, this dagger is different from other items in the museum's collection. On the labels of other works of art, the year and author are often written on them, and some even have meanings or other markings on them.

But this dagger has nothing but a name." Kurosawa Rin put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and no longer looked at the painting in front of him, his eyes dimmed unconsciously.

"Put it in a dark, corner, somewhere no one cares about."

"Does it still remember everything it once had, or has it forgotten everything like me?"

"Only the name remains."

Miyano Akemi looked at the sad boy in front of her, her heart tightened, and she gently stepped forward and hugged Kurosawa Rin's thin body.

"That's not the case, Rin."

"No matter whether you have forgotten the past or not, you have friends like Xiaolan and Yuanzi."

"People like those doctors, nurses, and me who care about you."

"besides……"

Miyano Akemi opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment.

"...a brother who "loves you"."

"Sister Mingmei?"

Kurosawa Rin was stunned, feeling the warm embrace of Miyano Akemi, and his expression of loss and sadness slowly turned around.

He broke away from Miyano Akemi's arms and showed a warm smile.

"What, Sister Mingmei, are you serious?"

"I was actually just joking."

"Look at that dagger. The black blade and sharp lines are so handsome!"

"I feel like any boy would really want to get it!"

Rin Kurosawa showed a yearning expression like a child's, and his eyes were bright, as if a child had seen his beloved toy.

Miyano Akemi looked at the childlike Rin Kurosawa in front of her and frowned.

"cold……"

She is getting more and more confused now.

This is sometimes as easy to understand as a child, childish and innocent.

Sometimes he is mature and terrifying, as if there is no bottom in his heart, layer by layer like a mask, Rin Kurosawa.

The fun and smiling person in front of me, and the extremely sad and lonely person before.

Which one is who you really are?

cold……
