Chapter 564: Fantasy Paintings



Vladimir Ivan's later years were somewhat legendary.

The reason for this is related to the situation before death.

In his later years, Vladimir Ivan was robbed and was knocked unconscious by the robbers and thrown into the lake.

If nothing unexpected had happened, he would have died. However, a hunter passing by saw this scene and saved Vladimir Ivan who was almost drowned after the robbers left.

When Vladimir Ivan regained consciousness, he claimed to have seen a mirror lake.

The mirror-like lake surface was shining with countless colors, just like the various pigments he used in his paintings throughout his life. It was so complete that it was dizzying and even impossible to confirm how many colors there were.

After he was rescued, as if he knew his deadline, he did not hesitate too much and immediately devoted all his energy to completing the work.

And the "Mirror Lake" with the most complete and colorful features in the world was born.

After completing this work, Vladimir Ivansu died because drowning for too long caused irreversible damage to his frail body.

Some people say that he saw so many colors because he saw the refraction of sunlight after falling into the water, and combined with the hallucinations he had before dying.

Some people also say that it was a revolving lantern before his death, and since he spent his whole life painting, the memories he saw were the various colors he used in his life.

Some even say that he was actually dead when he was in the water, but the god of death wanted him to paint the scenery he saw before he died, so he postponed his death and allowed him to complete his last work.

In any case, "Mirror Lake", the painting that was closest to death, has become an irreplaceable treasure.

"Is Uncle holding an art exhibition?" Ayako asked with a smile after listening to the explanation. "I remember that the art museum in Kanto hasn't held an art exhibition for a long time."

“No, I will put ‘Mirror Lake’ in a museum later, but as for exhibitions, there is a special oil painting exhibition in Tokyo right now.”

Suzuki Jirokichi said with a smile, "Famous oil paintings from all over the world will be shipped to Tokyo. I plan to have Mirror Lake debut at this special exhibition since arriving in Neon."

"Really? That's pretty good."

Ayako nodded and was about to say something when Sonoko's curious voice suddenly came from the gate, "What? What's pretty good?"

"Is school over?" Tang Ze looked at Sonoko and smiled. "We were just talking about Jirokichi planning to put the work he brought back at the exhibition."

"Works? Art exhibition?" Sonoko became interested after hearing what Karasawa said. "When will it be held? Uncle, can you give me some tickets? I want to go and see it with Xiaolan."

"Hahaha, no problem. There will definitely be plenty of tickets and other things. You can give some to your friends."

Suzuki Jirokichi chuckled twice, then took out a stack of tickets from his pocket and handed them over: "If you're interested, you can visit together next week."

After thanking him, Tang Ze thought for a while and gave one ticket to each of his colleagues in the office, and then sent the remaining tickets to Yuanzi.

After taking the ticket, Sonoko asked Suzuki Jirokichi what work he had obtained this time, and then she continued with what Suzuki Jirokichi had just said.

Looking at Yuanzi's interest, Tang Ze was not surprised.

Although she and Xiaolan are only high school students, they have very high artistic qualities.

For places like painting exhibitions, very few people can make a special trip to appreciate them. If you don't have the artistic level, it feels like a complete waste of time to go.

But the two of them were able to appreciate the works seriously, without any sense of superficial viewing, and they felt every piece of work carefully.

It was not surprising, but Tang Ze's vigilance had secretly increased.

Although my sister-in-law does not have the physique of the god of death who will die wherever she goes, she is the "trigger of the case."

Every time Conan can't find a case, the rich woman Sonoko is always able to use her "money power" to provide a "venue" for the case to occur.

At worst, Sonoko's love for handsome guys will kick in, and she'll drag Xiaolan along to see a handsome guy or something, and then blend into a small group. Then Conan's "Death Physique" will kick in and directly take his life, triggering the case.

But there is no way to talk about this kind of thing. After all, if it is a case, Tang Ze is sure that he has no impression of it.

After all, the battle with the Black Organization is about to begin. If there are any non-plot cases during this period, generally speaking, even if you can't remember them clearly, you will still have some impression of them.

But he had no impression of this, which made Tang Ze think that this might just be the daily life of the rich woman Sonoko's family.

In short, because he is so rich, every activity he participates in or every outing he goes out is like a "case trigger."

After a brief conversation, as Sonoko returned home from school, Suzuki Tomoko had already invited everyone to the restaurant to prepare dinner.

After clearing all the thoughts from his mind, Tang Ze stood up and followed Ayako to the restaurant.

"By the way, sister, do you have anything to do after dinner?" Sonoko asked excitedly, hugging Ayako's arm.

"No, what's wrong? Are you busy?" Ayako looked at her sister and smiled, "Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"Not really. I just heard from Uncle Jiroyoshi that Mirror Lake will be shipped back this afternoon. Let's go take a look at it together then."

Yuanzi said excitedly, "After listening to the stories my uncle told me, I really want to see the painting myself."

"So where are we going to look later?" Ayako looked at her sister and asked, "Did Uncle say where to put it?"

"It seems that they are going to be transported to a warehouse near our house that is specially used to store artworks." Sonoko chuckled and said, "It's quite boring to be alone. It would be great if you two sisters could accompany me."

"I don't like what you're saying." Suzuki Jirokichi glared at him and said, "So an old man like me can't accompany you, right?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant." Yuanzi waved her hand quickly after hearing that. "I just want my sister and brother-in-law to accompany me. It will be more lively with more people, otherwise it will be too boring."

While laughing and joking, Sonoko ran to Jiroyoshi and started to act coquettishly. As the elder, Jiroyoshi was just teasing the younger one and joking with him before not pursuing the matter any further.

Soon after arriving at the restaurant and taking our seats, dishes began to arrive. Today's meal was French: bouillabaisse, foie gras steak, Parisian lobster, flambéed French crepes, and escargot in French white wine...

Each carefully cooked dish brings the ultimate enjoyment to your tongue, and having a cup of black tea after the meal is the most pleasant thing.
