"Okay, thank you for your hospitality. I'll go back first."
After lunch, Tang Ze said goodbye to Haibara and the others with a smile and left with Conan.
This time, Tang Ze was just giving a precautionary measure, so there was no need to be nervous.
After all, he remembered that it was winter then, but now it is still early autumn, so the time doesn't match.
When winter really comes, Tang Ze should be careful.
After leaving Conan, who was feeling a little heavy-hearted, at the Maori Detective Agency, Karasawa drove directly home.
Because Ayako goes home on Saturdays and Sundays, there is no one at home.
After returning home, Tang Ze changed his clothes, took a shower, and then called Ayako.
"Are you busy?"
Listening to the slightly noisy background coming from the other end of the phone, Tang Ze didn't waste time and said straight to the point: "Will you come back for lunch? I'm home now and will prepare lunch later."
"I was just about to call you." Ayako smiled and said, "Mom asked us to go back for lunch. She said Uncle Jiroji has returned to Neon, and we should all have a meal together to welcome him back."
"Then I'll pick you up when I'm done packing and it's almost time for you to get off work."
Tang Ze said he understood: "Also, please have someone negotiate the acquisition of the online movie copyright that I discussed last night as soon as possible."
"Hey, I see." Ayako felt a little helpless when she heard this. "You always come up with some random plans. I don't even know if they're useful..."
"Well... I just did it when I got the chance." Tang Ze smiled brightly, knowing that his inconsistent behavior seemed a bit strange to others.
After all, other people are not time travelers, and it is impossible for them to know what things will be valuable in the future.
Moreover, if he did not have strong financial strength, even if Tang Ze knew that this thing would make money in the future, he would probably not be able to afford such a "waste of money" investment.
Even from an investment perspective, it may not be too reasonable.
However, after all, it is an additional by-product of preventing the case from obtaining rewards, so we don’t ask for so much.
After drying his hair, Tang Ze changed out of his bathrobe and put on casual clothes. He shaved himself, tidied up his hair which was a little messy due to the hair dryer, and then walked towards the garage.
Driving again was completely different from before. Driving at a low speed of forty or fifty miles per hour made this "wild horse" completely useless.
However, Tang Ze didn't need to drive so fast. He just drove lazily and came to the downstairs of the company.
He didn't think about joining the company. After all, he would have to accept the employees' respectful looks and bows and greetings, which were uncomfortable rules. Tang Ze didn't like that.
But the whole society is like this, and Tang Ze cannot let the company become an outlier, so he simply tries to avoid these hypocritical courtesies as much as possible.
He ordered a cup of coffee at the coffee shop downstairs, added milk and sugar to make it not bitter at all, more like milk tea, and Tang Ze slowly started to drink it.
Paired with a small plate of exquisite matcha-flavored cookies, the light tea aroma and slight bitterness make the coffee even more delicious.
Of course, on the surface it looked like Tang Ze was simply drinking coffee and daydreaming to kill time, but in fact he was "reading".
After all, there was quite a lot of knowledge drawn from the lottery before. Although some of it was received, it has not yet been transformed into his own things. Tang Ze would choose some knowledge from time to time to "review the old and learn the new."
When there is something to do, time always flies quickly. Just when Tang Ze was concentrating on "daydreaming", the knocking sound on the desk brought his attention back to reality.
Looking up, Tang Ze saw Ayako standing by the table with a smile on her face.
"Are you here? Let's go." Tang Ze put down his coffee, stood up and left his seat, while Ayako pinched a biscuit and ate it while following Tang Ze out of the coffee shop.
Tang Ze drove, and the two of them chatted as they arrived at the Suzuki family's residence.
After parking the car, the two entered the house and walked into the living room, where they found that the Suzuki couple and Suzuki Jirokichi were already sitting on the sofa chatting.
"You two are here." Suzuki Jirokichi smiled and waved at them after seeing them. "Come and sit down. I want to tell you about what I gained from my trip to the Bear Country this time."
"What did Uncle Jiroyoshi buy this time?" Ayako teased. "Isn't it another gem? If so, Kaito Kid might return it someday."
"Hahaha, with Tang Ze, the famous 'Kid Nemesis', here, even if that little thief comes over, he will definitely return empty-handed!"
Suzuki Jirokichi laughed and said, "But we'll talk about dealing with that thief next time. After all, the collection I brought back this time wasn't gems, but precious oil paintings."
"Oil painting?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and became slightly interested. "Whose is it?"
After all, he studied painting in his previous life. Although he was stuck at the A-level and made no progress, it was an important part of life after all, and he was still very interested in everyone's paintings.
"Vladimir Ivan's work "Mirror Lake"~"
Suzuki Jirokichi stroked his beard and said with some pride, "Legend has it that this man was the lover of Queen Catherine I of the Bear Country. He was also the court painter. Several of the Queen's self-portraits were painted by him."
After hearing this, Tang Ze searched his mind for knowledge about painting and found that this was indeed the new history after "Steins;Gate" changed the world line.
However, it is actually just a legend. Maybe it was the Queen's enemies who slandered her at that time. And there is no evidence to prove this rumor in the history of the Bear Country.
But putting aside these romantic rumors, as a court painter and the Queen's exclusive portrait painter, his level is definitely above A-level.
This is where our understanding of Tang Ze ends. After all, he is just one of many outstanding painters. Tang Ze's paintings also contain a little historical knowledge, and he is not specialized in antique appreciation.
But he didn't need to, because there was someone next to him who had detailed knowledge.
With Suzuki Jirokichi's explanation, Tang Ze gradually understood why the other party was so proud of getting "Mirror Lake".
Although the truth of this rumor is unknown, in history, the man named Vladimir Ivan voluntarily applied to leave the court after the rumor spread, and has been immersed in painting ever since.
This work, titled "Mirror Lake", was his last work before his death.
There is also a little bit of fantasy in it, which is why "Mirror Lake" is so precious.
