Chapter 53: Art Museum Owner Murder Case 1

The next morning, Seiya woke up as he felt his arms seem to miss it's handle. He opened his eyes as he saw two lumps hiding inside the blanket. He could feel his morning wood getting lick from left and right, which made him feel more erect. He moved his hand under the blanket as he began to feel like he was in heaven. After an hour of early morning exercise, Seiya dress up as he saw the message from Shiro's Assistant. He has to admit that the assistant is very efficient at his work since it only took a whole night before all process has been done and he only need to sign the contract before paying then he will own the whole land and building.

He called the assistant to meet him in the cafe below the Mouri Detective Agency in about an hour as he began starting the car, this cafe was wildly famous for locals since it's owner base his recipes from western country. After an hour and half passed by, Seiya signed the contract and paid using a bank cheque, he already check the inside the house which has 3 floors with 2 large room in each floor. He was already satisfied with this place, when he went out of the house, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Seiya-san?"

"Oh? Ran-chan? What are you doing here?"

"I live nearby~ How about you seiya-san?"

"Well, I just bought this house."

"Oh! It looks like we are going to be neighbors."

"Indeed"

Seiya and Ran talk about their current events when suddenly Ran invited Seiya to accompany her to the Museum that was recently famous because of the moving medieval suit of armor.

"Seiya-san are you interested in going to the Beika Art museum today? I was planning to visit the famous Beika Art museum with my father, but he left early today as he said there was a case that he had to handle."

"Sure, I would love to spend some time with a beautiful girl like you in a museum."

Mouri Ran blushes as she heard his complement but it already made her feel a little happy that someone can accompany her to the museum that has a rumors about a medieval suit of armor moving around without a person. Ran was about to lead Seiya towards the Bus Station, but he stops Ran as he said while leading her to his car.

"Let's take my car, its faster this way."

"Okay~"

Ran followed Seiya toward his car which was the one that she rode previously when Seiya took her home after her date with Shinichi, she felt sad thinking about Shinichi who haven't called her for a week. Conan who was on the street using his Skateboard, he saw Seiya and Ran getting inside Seiya's car which made Conan's pupil shrank as he thought.

'Ran, where are you going with this guy?!'

Conan immediately followed Seiya's car that drove towards the highway as Conan started his electric skateboard that can rival a normal car's speed, Seiya seem to hear a skateboard rolling which made him stare at the side mirror as his mouth turned into a smirk. Seiya spoke to Mouri Ran as he began speeding up.

"Hold on tight~"

"Wha*Ran closed her mouth*"

Ran immediately closed her mouth as she unconsciously held Seiya's hand that was on the gear shift, Seiya smiled as he felt that fate was showing him the way of a playboy. Conan who was illegally using the highway with his skateboard was caught in the CCTV nearby, it took them 15 minutes to arrive to the nearest parking lot of the Museum as he park his car. Ran who felt excitement from the rush immediately blushes as she saw that she was holding Seiya's hand, she removed her hand as she felt a hint of lost in her heart. She shook her head as she reminded herself that they were here for the Museum.

Seiya seeing her reaction immediately knew it was not yet ripe, he took off his seatbelt as he went out of the car while Ran rearrange her hair as it was a bit frozen from the cold air. Meanwhile Conan was currently running away from traffic enforcer as they shouted.

"Kid! Stop Running!"

'Why did my skateboard battery overheated!!'

Conan complained inside his head as he escape through the dark alleyway, he was 3/4 away from chasing Seiya's car when suddenly the skateboard ran out of power as green smoke began emitting out from the skateboard's battery box. Ran led Seiya towards the entrance of the Beika Art Museum as Seiya took initiative to pay for their ticket. They first went to the nearest picture that was arrange in a line, Ran spoke in a surprise.

"Wow! A lot of beautiful artwork! Such Pretty Color!"

"Indeed they used pretty colors in this paint. Its makes people feel something."

"Seiya-san do you understand artwork?"

Ran curiously ask as she saw Seiya staring at them with appreciation. Seiya shook his head as he explained.

"I don't understand the artwork, but what I do know is the history and the meaning that a lot of people think that an artwork shows."

"Oh?"

"For example this painting of the Starry Night made by Van Gogh. Although I don't know if this one is an imitation or not since I have yet seen the original one, but according to books and famous artist that criticize the work. The artwork represent a verse from the bible."

"What verse?"

"Genesis 37:9 in which Joseph was an outcast from his 11 brothers. Just like the 11 stars in the painting while Van Gogh was the crescent moon different from the 11 stars, the famous artist in the book assumed that Van Gogh was making this painting as he wanted to show how his fate was similar to Joseph who didn't gain the respect from the 11 brothers."

"That so sad...."

"Actually I think he didn't mean it that way."

"What do you mean?"

"I believe Van Gogh drew this painting as this was the last thing he saw that was worth painting for. If you have seen every Van Gogh's painting, you could feel he only drew the things that makes a person feel inspired or wanted to keep the moment."

"I see, I seem to feel the same thought too..."

*Clap Clap Clap*

Seiya and Ran turned around as they saw an old man clapping his hand as he spoke.

"It is an interesting assumption young man, I also thought about the same thing when I stare at this painting."

"Uh, and you are?" -Ran

"Oh! Sorry. I am the director here, My name is Ochiai "

"Oh, the director no wonder."

"Well, please take your time and enjoy the museum. We still have a painting room from the Earth, Sky, Ocean and Hell in this museum."

"I see, thank you Mr. Ochiai."

Ran bowed as she said this then she led Seiya towards the next painting room as they only heard Ochiai's scolding the cleaner of one of the paintings for not using gloves while taking down the painting. Only Seiya knew what was going to happen, but he felt like something more deeper was about to happen just like what he experienced from the previous case of the Maple Leaf Gold Coin.
