Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Imaguchi Kosumi and the others sat on chairs and took the tea Akita Shusui handed them.

"Sorry, we only have black tea at home."

"It's fine."

Akita Qiushui sat on the chair and looked at the wood carvings in the hands of Ayumi and the others with great interest.

"Have you finished choosing?"

"Well, I like this very much." Mitsuhiko nodded.

"Yes, I think this ghost general is very suitable for me." Yuantai said seriously.

"Ms. Akita, I like this cat demon mask." Ayumi nodded seriously.

"Pfft, relax! I'm happy that you like me, and don't be so serious. You can just call me Aunt Qiushui. I'm a few years younger than A Li." Akita Qiushui couldn't help laughing and waved his hand.

"Okay, Aunt Qiushui!" Ayumi and the others breathed a sigh of relief and shouted happily.

"You can take your time here and take a look. I have a lot of things here." Akita Qishui saw that Imaguchi Conan and the others didn't take anything, thinking that they didn't find what they liked.

"Well, thank you Aunt Qiu Shui." Conan and the others nodded, and Imaguchi nodded as well. He quite liked wood carvings and such things.

"Qiu Shui, actually we came today to take a look at your collection. These children have to do homework and record the artworks they have seen. I thought your place would be just right, so I brought them here. ." Seeing that Akita Qiushui was getting excited and was about to give away a special gift, Dr. Ali said quickly.

"Collectibles?" Akita Qiushui blinked, then changed his position and sat, "It's a coincidence that you guys came here today. I happen to have a very powerful thing here, which should meet your requirements."

After hearing what she said, both Dr. Agasa and Imaguchi Koshin all looked at Akita Akishui curiously.

"Qiu Shui, do you have a new work?" Dr. Ali remembered that the last party they attended lasted only three days. Could it be that Qiu Shui said that he had inspired something new in the past two days?

"No, it's the same work I made before. I originally thought it was a piece of trash, but I suddenly discovered that it is my biggest treasure." Akita Qiushui gave it up and looked at them naughtily.

"?"

Seeing the questions and curiosity in their eyes, Akita Qiushui led them to the second floor, introducing the house to them as he walked.

"Actually, this house has a long history. Originally, a rich man wanted to buy this place and transform it into a private estate. But then something happened. Halfway through the construction, the house was no longer occupied and the house was sold. .

I later saw this house by chance and thought it was very suitable, so I bought it. After a little renovation, it became what it is now. This house has three floors. The first floor is the living room, where some of my works are placed. The second floor is where I work and rest, and I store some collections.

The third floor is where I keep my tools and occasionally do some large wood carvings. If you are interested, you can take a look, but it is best not to. "Akita Qiushui explained habitually. It was only at the end that he realized that the third floor seemed not suitable for these children.

While they were talking, they had already reached the second floor. Ayumi and the others wanted to ask why they were not suitable to go to the third floor, but they were interrupted by Dr. Agasa and Akita Shusui.

"This is where I put my collection. Come and take a look!" Akita Qiushui opened a room and invited them in. Seeing this, Ayumi and the others forgot what they wanted to ask just now and followed the doctor. Got in.

As soon as they entered, they were surprised. The collections here were different from those on the first floor. If the first floor was just ordinary works, they looked more alike. Then the second floor can be said to be exactly the same, and it even feels like it has a soul.

"I feel like he's looking at me." Ayumi hid behind Conan in fear, not daring to look, and curiously peeked at the mask placed in the transparent glass.

Obviously there are holes for the eyes on the mask, but it makes people feel as if someone is watching them.

"Don't worry! This is..." Conan patted Ayumi's back comfortingly. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted.

"Don't be afraid, it's just the carving technique." Akita Qiushui looked at the scared Ayumi, walked over and changed the direction of the mask.

"Aunt Qiushui, what was that mask carved just now? It feels like I'm being watched."

"Yes, is that your new work, Aunt Qiushui?"

"It feels a bit scary, but it looks so exquisite!" Yuantai and the others asked while looking at the mask curiously. The mask just now was really scary. It was as if they could see the eyes behind it through the two black holes, but In fact, behind the mask is a blank space.

"That is not my new work, it is just a human face that I carved before, but it is also my proud work. It took me a lot of effort to carve this." Akita Qiushui shook her head, although it was not what she wanted. It was for them to see, but it was also a work that she loved very much.

"As for you seeing it wrong, on the one hand, it's because I used a special technique when carving to make people focus on the eyes.

On the other hand, it's because you saw too many pairs of eyes on your way upstairs. When you see a wooden sculpture without eyes, you will consciously imagine adding a pair of eyes, so you will feel that there are eyes staring at you. "Akita Qiushui explained the principles to them in detail, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were no longer afraid.

"But, Aunt Qiushui, why do you put up so many eyes in the wood carving?" Obviously this house does not need so many pairs of eyes, and she clearly knows the characteristics of this human face wood carving, why would she deliberately create this psychological suggestion? .

Conan looked at Akita Qiushui in confusion. Although the principle she just mentioned is simple, it is actually a psychological suggestion. It's just that few people would think of using psychological suggestion on wood carvings, and even deliberately create such a thing in their own homes.

After all, a normal person, after discovering this situation for the first time, should quickly change the target's location or modify the external decoration.

"I actually prepared this on purpose at the beginning, in order to make this statue and participate in a competition. But after I won the competition, I was too lazy to do it again, so I kept it until now." Akita Qiushui is a little embarrassed. Because of her negligence, she almost scared these children.

Originally she planned to clear them, but later she got used to them and felt that these patterns were no big deal, so she gradually forgot about them.

"It's okay." Ayumi and the others waved their hands. They were not injured, they were just startled by the unexpected person.

Conan was also stunned by her honest words. He didn't expect that she had prepared it herself, and he didn't expect that she would admit it like this. It seemed really unexpected.
