Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

Early on Friday morning, Director Ochiai entered the museum as usual before other staff arrived.

As he gets older, his sleep becomes lighter and lighter, and he often wakes up from a peaceful sleep at three or four o'clock in the morning, seeing the dawn of dawn before the rooster.

Director Ochiai also likes this. A short sleep allows him to spend more time with the collections in the museum. He is more attached to the garden of art than sweet dreams.

He has been single for many years and does not have many relatives. Only these dazzling collections have accompanied him for decades, and he has gradually aged with him over the years.

For Director Ochiai, this museum is his real home, and these precious collections are his real family and children. He worked and lived here until his death.

But this warm dream that lasted for decades was ruthlessly shattered by an uninvited guest.

When he thinks of the man named Manaka, Director Ochiai's peaceful state of mind, which was infected by the art, will be violently turbulent. He doesn't like this real estate businessman, he doesn't like the strong smell of copper on his body, and he doesn't like his treatment of art.

The contemptuous attitude when tasting it.

Just last month, the former owner, who had been running the art museum for many years, decided to sell the art museum together with its collections due to financial pressure. In the end, it was Boss Manaka who took over the land.

When Director Ochiai met Manaka's boss for the first time, he noticed that this man had a strong aura of money, so he was particularly disgusted with him.

Although during the acquisition, boss Manaka had promised that he would continue to operate the museum. Director Ochiai still couldn't believe his words. How could such a businessman who only cares about money be interested in art?

What happened later also confirmed Director Ochiai's judgment. Boss Manaka had no interest in the museum and its collection, and planned to break the contract and transform the place into a more profitable luxury hotel. Director Ochiai saw his bad behavior in his eyes.

, but there is nothing we can do.

It would be great if he had money. If he had a lot of money, he could take back the art museum from Manaka. Director Ochiai has always prided himself on not being interested in fame and fortune, but now, he is extremely eager to be able to do it overnight

Get rich suddenly and protect your children from the real boss.

However, it is impossible for him to become rich overnight. After all, he is just an ordinary museum director and cannot defeat the wealthy boss Manaka.

"Maybe today will be the last time I meet you." In the early morning art museum, Director Ochiai stood in front of pieces of art that had been with him for decades, with tears in his eyes.

His eyes swept over every piece of art, and what he saw were memories accumulated over the past few decades. However, because of Boss Manaka, all these memories were in vain. And these were regarded as children's works of art by him.

, will also usher in a tragic fate.

"That man is simply a devil!" Director Ochiai stood in front of an oil painting called "Heaven's Punishment" and looked at the devil being nailed to death with a long sword in the painting. "You must destroy it for your own selfish interests."

He who fell here is simply a devil!"

"But the devil in the painting still has a righteous knight to defeat him. Who can kill the devil in reality?"

Suddenly, Director Ochiai was startled as if he had thought of something, and his eyes almost melted into "Heavenly Punishment"

. He turned around and looked at the medieval knight armor stored on the other side of the exhibition hall, and a bold and terrifying plan gradually emerged in his mind.

"Yes, if you want to take back the art museum from the devil, you can only kill him! I will be the knight of justice, and I will pierce his heart with a sword and make him pay for his selfishness and broken contract.

!”

"Yes, I can only do this. I am desperate and have no other way to save the museum! Just let me kill Manaka, even if I am stained with the blood of the devil and suffer divine punishment.

No matter what!"

Curator Ochiai, who thought he had found a way to salvation, paced back and forth excitedly in the exhibition hall, letting the uncontrollable and fanatical desires in his chest destroy his still water state of mind, reducing himself to a puppet of desire, slowly approaching the abyss of no return.

.

At this moment, a voice that made Director Ochiai extremely annoying interrupted his thoughts:

"Director Ochiai, you really came so early."

Director Ochiai turned around and met the eyes of Boss Manaka, whom he was planning to kill. He suppressed the feverish emotions in his chest and politely greeted Boss Manaka:

"Why did you come so early today, Boss Zhenzhong?"

"Actually, I have something to discuss with the museum staff today. Of course, I want to hear your opinion before that."

It was finally time for a showdown. All he wanted to discuss was layoffs. Director Ochiai’s murderous intention towards Boss Manaka grew even more. Boss Manaka, who was unaware of this, was still talking to himself.

own troubles.

"Actually, after I bought this art gallery, I have been thinking about how to make a profit. At first, I thought I would convert it into a luxury hotel and make a lot of money by taking advantage of the location."

"But now, I have remembered the agreement I made with my former boss. Sure enough, I will continue to operate the art museum."

For a moment, Director Ochiai even began to wonder if he was too old and had something wrong with his ears? He couldn't believe that such words could be said from the mouth of the mercenary boss Manaka.

"...Are you serious, Boss Manaka? Do you really want to continue running the art museum?"

"That is indeed my plan." Boss Manaka replied affirmatively, "At the same time, I am also thinking about how to turn the art museum from losses to profits."

"To be honest, I know nothing about these works of art, and I have never had any experience in running an art museum before. If I am left to manage it alone, I am afraid the art museum will suffer even more losses."

"So today, I would like to exchange opinions with the old employees of the art museum represented by you, hoping to get some inspiration from you about business operations."

"Director Ochiai, I have offended you many times before. I apologize for my previous arrogance towards you and these works of art, and please forgive me."

"If we want to run the museum well, we must have your help, Director Ochiai. Please give me your help!"

Looking at the extremely sincere boss Manaka in front of him, Director Ochiai's eyes hidden behind his thick white eyebrows couldn't help but stare out. He really couldn't believe that this sincere and humble man in front of him was the same as the former boss Manaka who was only mercenary and selfish.

The same person.

What is going on?
