Chapter 233 The National Treasure Master of the Famous Pottery Artist

A piece of pottery from Shinjo Takehiro accidentally broke, so he was naturally very annoyed. After he got angry, he decided to ask for one from Kikuyuemon again. But he couldn't pull off the old face, so he called Qianjun over and told him to go with his own handwritten letter. Qianjun looked dark, "Master, I heard that Kikuyuemon is a famous pottery artist at the national treasure level. His pottery is very precious. Will he give it away for free?" Wuping laughed, "Don't worry, he and I are old friends, he still has to give it to him. Besides, I don't plan to ask for any famous works of him. Just ask for any of his new works." Qianjun complained in his heart, "Since he is an old friend, why don't you call me directly?"

Qianjun had no choice but to nod and agreed. After hearing this, the sisters of Shinjou also shouted to go with them. It turned out that last time they were visiting with their grandfather, Kikuuemon gave them a pair of fine vases made by their hands and used for flower arrangements. Jingyang felt that he would bring some gifts to thank them this time. Xiaoya didn't care at first, and she felt bored at home, so she wanted to go and see what new works of Kikuuemon had. Qianjun was responsible for preparing the gifts, mainly practical. Qianjun collected some rebuilt things and packed them up in a car. He felt that it was almost done, so he took the sisters of Shinjou to Kikuuemon's house together.

Qianjun and the other two rushed to Sitama City and came to the Tooya family. At the door, they met the Maori trio. Maori received a call from Kikuyuemon, "Come to my house once." Kikuyuemon is 78 years old and is the most famous pottery artist in Japan. Kikuyuemon came over to Shinjo sisters and welcomed him, "You two are getting more beautiful, I can't recognize who is who, haha..." Shizuoyang and Xiaoya stepped forward to greet each other, and expressed their gratitude for the last incident. They introduced Qianjun again. Qianjun handed the master's letter to Kikuyuemon. After reading it, Kikuyuemon nodded and said hello, and then ordered several disciples to help Qianjun move the gifts he brought to the warehouse.

Maori, Xiaolan, Conan, Jingyang and Xiaoya visited the room where the pottery was stored, and it was filled with various pottery. Xiaolan, Jingyang and Xiaoya were all dressed very beautifully today and their clothes were very decent. After all, they were visiting other people's houses. Of course, Qianjun thought it was exposed a little. Xiaolan praised, "These pottery has beautiful colors and styles!" Jingyang also nodded, "It is indeed all fine products." Uncle Maori praised, "

It is worthy of being the work of the national treasure master Kiku Yuemon!" Kiku Yuemon came in, "Please don't call him a treasure in our country. I am not an item, but a human being." Xiaoya smiled and put down the pottery in her hand. "It should be said that my grandfather is a martial arts master, and Grandpa Toya is a pottery master! They are all the top masters in Japan!" Kiku Yuemon laughed, "Okay, we two old guys, only this little reputation can be admired by you juniors!"

Kogoro was arrogant and claimed to be a national treasure detective. Conan laughed at his optimistic personality as a national treasure. Everyone sat down at the long table in the room, and Qianjun also returned here to watch these pottery. Qianjun felt that these pottery was not only beautiful, but they could not see any good things. "It turns out to be like a mountain!" Listening to Kikueemon introduce the characteristics of these pottery to everyone, a middle-aged woman brought tea to everyone, and the three girls of Koran stood up to thank him. Kogoro took the opportunity to approach and asked, "Mr. Toyoya, what's wrong with you coming to me? Are you going to check the affair of that young lady?" Kikuemon was funny, "No, she is my daughter-in-law and has been taking care of my daily life alone." It turned out that Kikuemon's wife and son died in a car accident two years ago.

Kikuyoumon suddenly shouted loudly, "I invite you here today to give you a little advice to the famous detective. Your recent reasoning is too rough!" Kogoro, Conan, Qianjun was shocked, Kikuyoumon said seriously, "For example, last month..." The 42-year-old daughter-in-law Tori Yai Yoshiko covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dad, don't pretend, just tell the truth! You are the admirer of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!" Tori Yai Yoshiko was a little fat and had a low appearance, which was also because of her age. Xiaoran asked, and Maiko smiled and said, "Every time Mr. Maori solved the case, he was excited. Last time he forgot to report the case and filed it, and he even scolded him!"

The matter was exposed, and Kikuyuemon mocked himself and laughed, "Oh, that's true!" Qianjun finally understood that this Kikuyuemon master is a fan of Kogoro Maori. While everyone was joking, two of Kikuyuemon's disciples also rushed over. When they heard that the famous detective Kogoro came, they came to meet him. Obviously, the two recognized Detective Maori as soon as they came in. They had seen photos of Maori in the newspaper. When Maori asked, Kikuyuemon introduced him. The eldest disciple Yoshihiko Arida, 36 years old, has a strange appearance, but is better than Qianjun. Kikuyuemon said that he has made rapid progress recently and his works can always be innovative. The third disciple Takaichi Seto, 35 years old this year, looks normal, and his works are constantly decreasing, and he is currently facing a bottleneck. Seto said that he has not been in good condition recently.

Arida Yoshihiko Seto, "Who told you to always imitate your master!" Seto laughed, "No more!" Tooya Mako encouraged Seto loudly, "People say that the title of the sixth generation Kikuyuemon will be inherited by you!" Kikuyuemon is a name passed down from generation to generation, and Tooya Maki is the fifth generation. The two disciples were very curious, which piece of pottery would the detective Maori choose, and Kikuyuemon laughed, "Don't worry, I haven't told him yet!" Kogoro was a little confused, and Kikuyuemon explained that he wanted to give Maori a piece of his own work, "It would be okay to send it to you personally, but I still hope you can choose it yourself. Choose any work in the house is OK!"

Maori was overjoyed, "Really?" Tuya Mako also smiled, "Any piece is a masterpiece that is no less than millions." Kogoro almost fainted when he heard it, "Millions?" his eyes were immediately filled with golden light. Seeing his father making a fool of himself, Xiaolan hurriedly grabbed him, "Dad, this is not good, we are here for the first time, we have to be a guest..." Kogoro had a dark face, "You have to care!" Although he said that, Maori was indeed a little embarrassed, so he picked up the cup on the table, "I'll choose this tea cup!" Kikura said, "I'll choose this tea cup!"

Yuemon, Toya Yiko, Arida Yoshihiko, Seto Takaichi were all shocked. Maori wondered why they had such a strange expression. Kikuemon smiled, "I am worthy of being a famous detective, very sensible, I won!" Qianjun asked the reason, Kikuemon explained that he made a bet with his disciples to see which one Kogoro would choose. "And as I speculated, you chose this teacup. This teacup is not an ordinary teacup, it is the result of my efforts over the years, and it is also a popular and recognized superb product."

Kogoro was confused, and Xiaolan and the others couldn't tell what the famous product was. Kikuemon smiled and said, "I would never give up, but you are my idol, so it's an exception!" Tooya Yiko dissuaded, "But, Dad, that cup..." Kikuemon changed the topic and asked him to go to the warehouse to get the new work "Fengshui Maple" he was going to publish for the appreciation of Detective Maori. Yiko had no choice but to nod and agree. Kikuemon turned to Qianjun and said, "I have prepared the pottery for that guy Wuping, sealed in a box. When you leave, you can take it back. Be careful, it's very precious, so that he won't break it anymore!" Qianjun, Jingyang, and Xiaoya stood up together to thank him.

Kikue Eimon suddenly asked where his second disciple Otani was. Arida said that he was still in the kiln. Kikue Eimon invited everyone to see the fire kiln where he made pottery. Maori finally couldn't help but ask, "How much is this cup worth?" Kikue Eimon thought, "Well, conservatively, it will cost at least 10 million. If I put my sign on and sell it for a price, this world-famous tool will cost about 50 million!" Everyone screamed in surprise, Maori sprayed out all the tea in his mouth. Kogoro was excited and took off his hands and fell to the ground. Qianjun's hand was quick and he quickly grabbed it, and gave Maori. Everyone was scared to death. Maori wiped his hands and held the cup tightly, "My God, at least 10 million! He got rich! He got rich!" Xiaolan felt so embarrassed.

Seto Takaichi praised, "I didn't expect this detective to be quite sensible!" Arida Yoshihiko also said, "I wouldn't have been betting if I had known that he was so expert." The uncle shook his cup, "It would rather cost 10 million yuan!" Jingyang smiled, "It seems that the value of this cup is similar to the pottery I gave to my grandfather!" Xiaoya also said, "Uncle Maori, you are so amazing! You selected the best work in one go. The pottery that my grandfather and Master Tuya had been able to get for decades of friendship, you got it all at once!" Maori laughed and boasted. Conan mocked, "This is a blind cat who meets a dead mouse!" Xiaolan reminded her father, "This cup is too expensive. You must keep it well, but don't fall down again." Maori nodded and carefully wrapped the cup and put it in the bag.

Everyone followed Kikue Eemon to the huge fire kiln, and Xiaolan and others were amazed. At the age of 36, taciturn and despicable Otani Kaoru was guarding the fire in the kiln. Kikue Eemon asked about the situation, Otani said that the vegetarian embryo would be cooked before dinner. Conan found many pieces of pottery next to him, and Arida Yoshihiko said that it was all destroyed by the young lady. Qianjun was puzzled, "Why did she destroy so many pottery?" Seto Takaichi explained, "The young lady has a good vision, so she doesn't like it, so she will no longer show it to the master." Qianjun frowned, "That woman? Is it OK?"

Kiku Yuemon affirmed this. His son, who originally wanted to inherit his career, was interested in the appreciation of Mako. "So she can decide for me whom I passed the title of Kiku Yuemon after I die." Maori and others nodded. Arida Yoshihiko complained that Tuya's Mako was so strict recently. Seto Takaichi also said that he had only two works passed this month. Kaoru Otani was the most depressed. In the past three months, he had been completely defeated, and none of them were qualified. "I probably reached the limit." Kiku Yuemon looked through the fragments and suddenly said, "If you have confusion in your heart, you will be reflected in your works. Create with this mood, even your works will be twisted. Just like a mirror like water, you will be calm and relaxed, naturally..."

Qianjun nodded secretly. Kikuyuemon is indeed well-known. It can be seen from these fragments that Otani is facing. Qianjun himself is also proficient in forging metal weapons and is deeply touched by what Kikuyuemon said. Qianjun stepped forward to discuss with the master, and Kikuyuemon was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Qianjun also had such a deep understanding of forging. "Wuhei's disciple is indeed very good." Qianjun said humbly, "I don't know pottery, I just like the manufacturing of cold weapons. Master, you are a master!" While the two were discussing, a woman's scream and the sound of broken things came from a distance.

Several disciples heard that it was Yiko Toya, probably in the warehouse. Kikuyuemon's face changed drastically, and he took the lead and ran over, and everyone followed closely. Everyone entered the warehouse and saw Yiko Toya falling on the ground, with a frightened look on the front. Kikuyuemon's work Fengshui Maple was broken, and Tuya's master and disciple were shocked and sad, and they all fell into silence. Tuya explained that she slipped while climbing the ladder to pick up things. Several disciples still complained, but Kikuyuemon said, "Forget it, tangible things will disappear, Fengshui Maple is just returning to the dust." As he said, Kikuyuemon walked out, "Let them clean up, you go and prepare supper and entertain Mr. Maori and the others. I am a little tired, don't call me before dinner." Yiko hurriedly agreed, and Kikuyuemon left sadly.

Everyone came to help clean it together. Qianjun smiled and said, "Would it be that young lady who was addicted to crushing pottery and broke Fengshui mash..." Jingyang pinched him hard, "Don't talk nonsense, you like to talk nonsense!" Qianjun had to shut up, Arida laughed, "This is the curse of Otani, whose work was destroyed!" Otani was angry, "No!" Outside, Toya Masako eavesdropped on everyone's conversation. Everyone cleaned up quickly, Seto asked everyone to go back to the living room to rest. Conan picked up a marble from the ground, a little confused. Qianjun suspected that Toya Masako and Kikuuemon had some abnormal relationship, so he was scolded by Shizuo and Xiaoya, so why did he always think about it in a tilted place?

The dinner was very rich and everyone was drinking happily. Kogoro was naturally very happy. After drinking, Yuko Toya became drunk and knocked on the table. Even the uncle couldn't stand it anymore. Seto Takaichi also said that after drinking the yellow wine, her temperament changed drastically. Three girls were drinking low-alcohol drinks, and Xiaolan suddenly asked about the cup, "Is it really okay to give us such expensive things?" Yuko Toya laughed, "Don't be polite, my father-in-law is old, and I'll live for a while... So there are not many works, right?" Several girls were stunned. Is there anyone who said this? Otani couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to dissuade him. But Kikueemon grabbed him, "Forget it, I'm really old, maybe I'll be old one in one year... I have only three decent works in the past year."

Although Maori drank a lot, he was a little confused. He remembered that Kikuyuemon had about 10 works published last year. Tuya Mako came up and said, "Don't mention the pottery matter, tell us more about the cases you handled." Kogoro said ok. Kikuyuemon wanted to hear the case of the tsukishima Moonlight murder in Tsukishima, and Tuya Mako wanted to hear the case of the gigantic group. The uncle only remembered the case of the class reunion, the art museum, and the magician Jiujiu Motoya. Conan said that he was awake only these three times, and Qianjun remembered it more than that. There were also cases of the chairman's daughter, monthly gift threats, murders for seeking relatives, messages sniping cases, beautiful girls who lost their memory, cactus flower murder cases, murder cases of mysterious weapon murder cases, crab and whale kidnapping cases, and mountaineering murder cases. These can all be resolved or seen in a sober state.
