Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 12 Knights and demons

Mihua Art Museum, Gao Cheng saw the huge “Middle World Art Exhibition” from a distance, and the many police cars parked outside the art museum.

He really came too late, and the police had blocked the scene.

“Oops, the case that took so long, did you miss it like this?”

Wandering outside for a while, Gao Cheng gritted his teeth and walked into the art gallery.

When I met the police officer, he calmly said, “Hello, I was called by Officer Mumu. Is the officer inside now?”

“Huh? In the Hell Exhibition Hall…” The policeman was bluffed by Gao Cheng and nodded before Mumu could confirm that Gao Cheng had entered like his back garden.

While the police at the door hadn’t reacted yet, Gao Cheng hurriedly said to the police officer on the other side: “Can you take me there?”

“Ah good.”

The police officer walked to the scene of the crime in confusion, but he didn’t doubt it.

After all, no one would joke about the police like that, there is a group of police inside.

…

“Gao Chengjun?”

Hell Exhibition Hall, after seeing Gao Cheng, Mumu looked very surprised. He still remembers the last time he met Gao Cheng at the Rice Flower Shrine and was almost treated as a murderer. Later, he settled the case of Kamoto’s family.

“Why did you get here?”

“Ah, that, Officer Megome,” Gao Cheng said without waiting for the policeman who brought him over to explain, “I heard something happened here, so I thought maybe I could help.”

“Huh, **** kid,” Moori Kogoro muttered dissatisfiedly, and said with a smile, “I don’t think you need your help anymore, because the murderer has been found!”

“Huh?” Gao Cheng was taken aback and looked at Conan subconsciously.

Police officer Mumu next to him explained with a smile: “It is indeed just like what Maori said. The deceased wrote the murderer’s name temporarily. When he finds the armor that the murderer wore when committing the crime, the case can be concluded.”

said Mumu left Gao Chengyi and continued to order the police officers to pack up the evidence.

“how so…”

Gao Cheng stood silently, and Conan suddenly leaned in regretfully, “Brother Gao Cheng, do you want to watch the surveillance video?”

“Ok?”

…

In the guard room, the entire killing process was completely monitored and filmed. When Conan brought Gao Cheng over, many police officers still sighed that they were watching it as a horror movie.

“It’s amazing!”

“Looks like a movie!”

“Uncle, let’s take a look at the paragraph just now, okay?” Conan interrupted, “It was Officer Mumu who asked me to bring Brother Gao Sung over.”

“Officer Mumu?” The police officers were enjoying the look. When they heard that it was Officer Mumu’s order, they suddenly felt a little guilty, afraid that the two would file a lawsuit, and hurriedly handed over the monitoring screen to Conan.

Gao Cheng curled his lips, this little ghost fox’s ability to fake tigers is more powerful than him.

Standing in front of the surveillance video, Gao Sung followed Conan to watch while learning about the entire incident from Conan’s mouth.

For example, the dead Boss Manaka is holding a note with the name “Kubada” on the back in his hand, and there are several things that Conan feels suspicious.

The owner of the victim, Manaka, is the new owner of the art gallery. He originally bought the art gallery from the original owner in the name of continuing to operate the art gallery. However, he planned to convert the art gallery into a hotel after he got it. Today he went to the art gallery for the purpose of demolition and reconstruction prepare.

Currently, Kubota, an art museum staff member who is suspected of being the murderer, was demanded by the boss of Manaka for huge compensation for selling art secretly. The motive is quite sufficient.

At about 4:30, the murderer called Boss Manaka to the Hell Exhibition Hall and killed Boss Manaka in medieval armor. The whole process was clearly captured by surveillance. Even Boss Manaka left a death message while the murderer was facing him. The scene is in the video.

Finally, according to the surveillance video, the police found a note with the murderer’s name in the palm of Boss Manaka’s palm.

It seems that the whole case has ended here, but there are many doubts in the middle that make Conan worry about it.

For example, the murderer used the murder method, imitating the picture in the famous painting “Scourge”, the armored justice knight pierced the demon with a sword, which does not seem to be what Kubota would do.

This person doesn’t care about art at all.

“But…” Gao Cheng looked at Conan who was watching the video carefully.

seemed unintentional, but explained the key points and clues of the whole case, as if to pull the two to the same starting line.

“This fellow, Conan, did it on purpose?” Gao Cheng’s eyes trembled slightly.

This kid is challenging him!

“Wait a minute, here, play it again!” Conan suddenly shouted while watching the surveillance video.

“What’s the matter?” Gao Cheng woke up in shock and looked at the surveillance video suspiciously.

The picture just regressed to the point when Boss Manaka was facing the murderer with his back, and he was surprised to see the man tearing off the artwork explanatory note from the side wall.

“That’s not right,” Conan said gravely, “Why does he have that expression? And, why does he throw away the pen after writing on the label paper? If the murderer hears the sound…”

“Did you find any clues, detective?” Gao Cheng asked deliberately.

“Well,” Conan had a thoughtful look on his face, “The ballpoint pen refill I just found at the scene…I kept it inside…”

While talking, Conan paused slowly, facing the gazes of Gao Cheng and the police officers, touching the back of his head and smiling: “I’m from Uncle Maori and Brother Gao Cheng, haha, I’m just a little boy. child.”

After a few dry smiles, Conan left the security room with the strange faces of the police officers.

“The kids are really weird now.” A police officer suffocated.

“Is there anything wrong with the ballpoint pen refill?” Gao Cheng’s expression became more serious than ever.

then left the security room and returned to the Hell Exhibition Hall. At a glance, he saw Conan was observing the note left by Mr. Manaka.

Gao Cheng frowned.

Although Conan said a lot of clues and still had doubts, he was only reluctantly pulled to Conan’s thinking. There were clues that Conan found but he didn’t have Conan’s abilities.

No, don’t worry, if it doesn’t work, use the one-minute detective mode.

At this time, the police had found the blood-stained armor from Kubota’s safe, and they believed that Kubota was the murderer.

Facing the panic-stricken Kubota defending, Officer Mumu scolded: “You make an appointment with Boss Manaka in advance, then lie in ambush in this exhibition hall, and kill him when he arrives…”

“No, I didn’t kill anyone!” Kubota said anxiously.

“Do you still want to quibble?” Mugure analyzed, “Hum, you put on your armor deliberately in order to avoid being captured by the monitor? But unfortunately, the monitor captured another very powerful one. Evidence, that is the words written on the sticker paper on the wall after the boss recognized you!”

Mumu put the “evidence” in front of Kubota: “From the surveillance video, the murderer never touched this piece of paper! Moreover, no one touched the body after the body was found, so this is the death message of the boss! , You didn’t have an alibi…”

Kubota eagerly explained: “That’s because I was in the office alone, doing what the curator asked me to do…”

“Kubada,” the curator of Ochiai Art Museum disappointed, “I did ask you to help with some things, but I didn’t let you kill people!”

“The museum, the curator…” Kubota looked desperate, “No, it’s not me…”

“What’s wrong? Damn it.” Gao Cheng silently walked by with his hands in his pockets.

Some strange traces can be vaguely seen on the label paper under the light. Conan should be looking at this just now.

But what does this mean?

Gao Cheng glanced across the scene of the crime carefully. Whether it was the video or the scene, it was very bloody. It was because he had overcome the weakness of the original owner, but he still felt some body shaking…

is really bad.

“Oh, what a terrible blood stain,” Mouri Kogoro walked to the blood-stained armor and said regretfully, “Good art has become like this.”

“That’s a copy for decoration,” the staff explained, “Kubada used the copy for the murder, and the other art does not seem to be affected. I’m so lucky.”

Gao Cheng frowned and looked at the armor. He suddenly turned his head in thought while thinking, just to collide with Conan’s gaze.

also staring at the armor, a smile appeared on the corner of Conan’s mouth.

It seems that I have already understood everything, and I am excited from the heart in order to win the challenge.

“In this way, the murderer can only be that person, and then only need to find evidence…”

Conan thoughtfully glanced at Gao Cheng again, slightly confused.

“What’s the matter, Gao Chengjun? Still don’t understand? Is the last luxury liner case really a coincidence?”

“Those clues should be easy to understand.”

Conan’s expression is complicated, with both doubts and disappointments. He has no idea that Gao Cheng is just a half-hearted detective who relies on memory and system.

“Sorry, Gao Chengjun, I won this time!”

“This kid…”

Gao Cheng’s body tightened, and hurriedly followed to activate the one-minute detective mode.

can’t wait any longer…

All the information emerged in Gao Cheng’s mind like a waterfall, including the clues and ideas provided by Conan and everything he saw on the scene, continuously combined into a clear line.

It’s just this time it didn’t go as smoothly as before. He joined halfway through and still had many details unclear.

Seeing that one minute was about to end, Gao Cheng looked at the scene nervously again.

that person…

Noting that Conan’s gaze fell on someone in the crowd, a bright light flashed in Gao Cheng’s mind.

One minute ended, but Gao Cheng didn’t look away anymore.

There is still something unclear, but Conan must have confirmed that the murderer is this person…

There seemed to be invisible auras colliding with each other in the air, but when Gao Cheng looked over, Conan immediately assumed the appearance of an innocent and cute child.

Gao Cheng sighed softly, with a smile on his face.

Conan is indeed very good, but there is one thing this guy can’t get around.

Since he wants to pretend to be a child, he is destined to have troubles that cannot be changed. This guy will not reason directly in front of everyone.

“Wait a minute, Officer Mumu!” Gao Cheng sinkingly called to stop Mumu who wanted to take Kubota away, “Mr. Kubuda is not the real murderer!”

“what?”

Police Officer Mumu and others, as well as Conan, looked at Ko Sung in surprise.

Conan was stunned, and quickly understood Gao Cheng’s plan, and suddenly narrowed his mouth with a gloomy face. He really couldn’t let Gao Cheng doubt his identity, so the prompt was okay, but positive reasoning was impossible.

“Forget it, just leave it to you to reason,” Conan muttered, and soon said to the bottom of his heart, “But which one is the real you? Really an invisible guy.”

Gao Cheng put away his vigorous thoughts, and said seriously in front of everyone: “Don’t you think it’s weird after seeing the scene? Take a closer look, not only the armor used for the murder is a copy, but other artwork also seems to have been specially arranged. .”

“That’s really a little bit,” Mouri Kogoro looked at the scene questioningly, “but what can this explain?”

“There are clearly labels on the walls of the crime scene, but there are no paintings.”

Gao Sung entered the state thoroughly and calmly showed the results of the reasoning to everyone: “I think it was taken by the murderer in advance to prevent blood from splashing on the artwork, but I heard from Conan that Kubota is not in this way. People who cherish art, are you right, Conan?”

Conan saw that everyone’s eyes were focused on him, and he nodded quickly and obediently: “Well, yes.”

“But,” Mumu said puzzledly, “Gao Chengjun, the note that Boss Manaka left before his death does have Kubota’s name written on it!”

“It was not a note left by the boss before his death, but by the prisoner.”

The corner of Gao Cheng’s mouth raised, and he continued to explain: “Look at the piece of paper carefully. There are still some traces on it. It should be the traces of the victim using a ballpoint pen that can’t write in order to cross out the name on it… In other words, the name was not written by Boss Manaka, but the prisoner had already written it from the beginning. It was probably to Boss Manaka that there was a prisoner’s name on the label.”

Gao Cheng walked step by step to the elderly Ochiai curator. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“The ballpoint pen refills left at the scene are kept inside, curator Ochiai, did you change it when you messed up?”

“Huh?!” Curator Ochiai was shocked, unable to speak for a long time.

“Using soundless monitoring and pens that cannot write characters, create an illusion. This is the trap set by you, Curator Ochiai,” Gao Cheng drew the last stroke. “Mr Ochiai, you can tell us. Where was it when the crime happened?”

The one-minute detective mode has not completely completed the reasoning, but the suspect has been locked on the Ochiai curator.

He can only take a gamble, even if Conan will retort him later, he will admit it.

Under Gao Cheng’s close gaze, Curator Ochiai closed his eyes and sighed for a while and took out a ballpoint pen from his arms: “Mr. Detective is right. It is indeed me who killed the boss.”

“This, this…” Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth and looked at Curator Ochiai, “How could this be?”

“Maybe you think it’s stupid, but I have to kill the demon of Boss Manaka, and I want to get punished for ruining and selling art products at will!” Curator Ochiai seemed to have relieved the burden and said sentimentally, “Probably this It is the arrangement of fate. Like the painting in “The Scourge”, although the demon was killed by the righteous knight, the knight was also baptized by evil blood, which means that he himself was also contaminated by the demon…

“After all, I am a murderer, and now I am also the embodiment of a demon.”

“Chancellor Ochiai…” Gao Cheng stared at the old man who was smiling sadly.

He rushed over after the incident. Although Conan talked about it, it was only treated as a case to solve it, only as a case that could get 100 reputation points.
