Chapter 14 Xiao Ai, you are sad again

When Tanigawa was closing the door, he happened to meet Conan who was skipping school.

"Brother Tanigawa, why are you here at the art museum again?" Conan looked at Tanigawa with curiosity, and he was even more surprised when he saw the key in Tanigawa's hand.

"I just bought this art museum and plan to use it to store some of my collections." Tanigawa put the key in his pocket and took Ai's hand.

Ai didn't even say hello to Conan, and turned and left with Tanigawa.

Conan looked at the two men's backs and fell into deep thought.

Art gallery, murder, corpse, art, collection. The only person who can link these words together is a psychopathic murderer.

Tanigawa seemed to like the artistic murder yesterday. Not only did he take the armor away, he also collected the art gallery.

Is it possible that he will use art to commit murder in the future?
Conan's eyes widened, and he felt that his speculation made sense. Geniuses and madmen go hand in hand, and judging from Tanigawa's behavior, he was more like a madman, so it was not surprising that he would do anything.

Tanigawa held Ai's hand and walked towards the amusement park.

"Ai, this is my first time to go to an amusement park with someone else. I thought my first time was for my girlfriend, but I didn't expect it was for you."

Ai had a blank expression on her face the entire time, but she was complaining madly in her heart.

For someone like you, the only reason she has a girlfriend is because she is attracted to your money and looks.

You can't expect a normal person to fall in love with a madman, right?

"Aren't you honored, Ai?"

"You are so lucky to have a brother like this, Ai."

"I really envy you. Why didn't I have such a good sister?"

"Say something, Ai."

Along the way, only Tanigawa was chattering, and Ai's silence made him feel left out.

"You're so noisy." Xiao Ai put on a hat to reduce the noise around her.

"Brother Tanigawa!" Conan ran over breathlessly.

"Conan, what are you doing here?" Tanigawa asked with a frown.

"Where are you going, Brother Tanigawa?"

"Let's go to the amusement park." said Tanigawa.

"Can I come along?" Conan asked with a smile.

Tanigawa also smiled and ignored Conan.

Am I familiar with you?

Tanigawa pulled Ai's hand hard.

Ai glared at Tanigawa, then looked at Conan impatiently.

"Why are you following us, you nasty little brat? I want to go to the amusement park with my brother and don't want to be disturbed by flies around." Xiao Ai said arrogantly.

Conan looked embarrassed.

This little girl has such a vicious mouth.

"I'm sorry, Conan, my sister has a bad temper." Tanigawa said kindly.

"Haha, it's okay." Conan laughed and refused to leave.

Tanigawa was a little annoyed by Conan following him closely. Why is this elementary school detective following me all the time? I am not his business partner.

Conan observed Tanigawa's expression carefully.

He is very curious about Tanigawa now. There must be a deeper reason why Tanigawa bought this art gallery. As long as he follows Tanigawa, he will definitely find out the truth.

Tanigawa took out his cell phone to write an email, then looked at Conan casually.

"Conan, today seems to be Friday, why didn't you go to school?"

"Because the school is closed today for the anniversary celebration." Conan made up a lie skillfully.

"Oh." Tanigawa nodded. "By the way, Tanigawa brother, why doesn't your sister go to school?" Conan asked in confusion.

The little girl next to Tanigawa also looks like she is in elementary school.

"Oh, her. She just came back from the United States and hasn't completed the transfer procedures yet." Tanigawa said perfunctorily.

When they arrived at the amusement park, Tanigawa took Ai to the Masked Theater and watched the performance on the stage with great interest. Ai stared at the stage with a bored look on her face. What was the point of such an embarrassing performance?

"Conan!"

Conan was frightened and turned around to see a fist as big as a sandbag.

"Ouch!"

Conan covered his head and looked at Xiaolan awkwardly.

"Sister Xiaolan."

Xiaolan doesn't buy into Conan's innocence.

"Don't make that expression. If it wasn't for the email from Mr. Tanigawa, I wouldn't have known you had skipped school again!" Xiaolan stared at Conan angrily.

Conan glanced at Tanigawa.

Tanigawa showed a righteous face.

"Conan, how can the school give students a holiday for the school anniversary? Think of a better excuse next time. I have always hated bad students like you who like to skip school."

"I just……"

"Don't be so angry. Come back with me and apologize to the teacher." Xiaolan said, pulling Conan's ear.

Tanigawa looked at Conan happily and said, "Go to school, detective."

"Tanigawa, how do you have Xiaolan's email address?" Xiaoai tugged at Tanigawa's sleeve.

"I sent it to Kogoro Mouri's email address. As a detective who has recently become famous, it's easy to get his email address." Tanigawa said with a smirk.

Xiao Ai nodded.

"By the way, at your age you should be in college. Is there no college for you to go to?" Xiao Ai gave a wicked smile.

"Haha, I am an outstanding graduate of Harvard University." Tanigawa said proudly.

Although it was the original body who was admitted to this university, it is now his honor.

"Can you get into Harvard University?" Ai said with a mocking look on her face. No matter how she looked at it, Tanigawa didn't look like someone with excellent grades.

"I have letters of recommendation."

"That makes sense." Ai withdrew her mocking gaze from Tanigawa.

"Being able to get a letter of recommendation is also part of my strength. Otherwise, why would people give me a letter of recommendation and not to others?" Tanigawa said shamelessly.

"Haha, of course it's because you have a good father."

"You don't have to be envious, you have a good brother now." Tanigawa touched Ai's head comfortingly.

Xiao Ai's mouth twitched. Can't you hear that I'm mocking you?
Looking at Tanigawa's caring expression, Xiao Ai kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything to spoil the mood.

For some reason, Xiao Ai felt a little uncomfortable looking at Tanigawa's face.

There is no love without reason in this world. Tanigawa treats me so well because he wants a sister. If he doesn't want a sister, then all this kindness will disappear.

Besides, if it was another girl instead of me, Tanigawa might be better to 'her' than me.

"Xiao Ai, you are sad again."

Tanigawa ruffled Ai's hair and pulled her out of her wild thoughts.

"I've told you many times, don't mess up my hair." Ai slapped Tanigawa's hand in dissatisfaction, and the two started fighting again.

Humph~ It’s not like I can’t live without this abominable guy.

When everyone gets fed up, the worst that can happen is that we just go our separate ways.
