Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!
Chapter 23 Proof Questions are Fast!
"Ran, go call the police." At the command of Kogoro Mouri, professional police officer Ran came on line.
When Xiaolan was running out of hell, she bumped into Sonoko who came to check the situation after hearing the screams.
"Lan, why are you here? What happened?"
Looking at Xiaolan with a panicked look on her face, Sonoko couldn't help but ask.
"Someone's dead! Boss Manaka is dead!"
"Boss Manaka?" When Sonoko heard that the person she and Kitagawa Taki were looking for was dead, she wanted to go in and check, but was stopped by Xiaolan.
Xiaolan explained: "Yuanzi, don't go in. The death of Boss Manaka is too scary. Beichuan and my father are inside."
So, the two of them went to call the police together and notified the art museum staff.
The police arrived at the scene soon, still led by Inspector Megure.
"Why is it you again?" Inspector Megure was speechless looking at Mouri Kogoro. Why did he feel that Mouri Kogoro was present at every murder?
"It's me, of course, no one has touched the body!" Kogoro Mouri saluted.
Well, Conan is not a human, Conan is the god of death.
Kitagawa Taki took a look and saw that Conan was now examining the body of the deceased.
"Brother Kitagawa is here too!" Inspector Megure only then saw Kitagawa Taki.
Kitagawa Taki nodded.
Then, Inspector Megure turned to the museum staff and asked, "Did anyone of you see the criminal?"
Director Ochiai replied: "I have checked, and it seems that no one saw it."
Kitagawa Taki did not know Director Ochiai. He did not meet the director in the art museum, but he found that there were two spirits on the old director in a brown suit.
One evil spirit possessed Director Ochiai, and the other was the spirit of the newly born boss Manaka, following behind him.
Perhaps because Kitagawa Taki kept staring at Director Ochiai, the evil spirit attached to him left his body and flew directly into the painting "Heavenly Punishment".
Boss Manaka's spirit has no consciousness and just follows Director Ochiai, but it is very likely to transform into an evil spirit in the future.
The answer to who killed Boss Manaka is already obvious.
Beichuan Taki sighed in his heart, this old man has too many buffs, one evil spirit and one quasi-evil spirit. It's hard to survive when being haunted by these two ghosts.
At this time, one of the employees pointed to the corner and said: "Maybe that surveillance camera captured the criminal!"
Oh my god, there is a camera in Beika Town!
Everyone followed the staff to the monitoring room. Xiaolan and Sonoko did not come in, but waited outside.
After some operation, the staff adjusted it to the appropriate time.
The surveillance footage showed the medieval armor, and then Boss Manaka appeared on the screen, pacing back and forth in front of the armor.
Just as he turned his back to the armor, the armor suddenly moved.
The armored man swung his sword and slashed at Boss Manaka's back, then jumped in front of him, turned around after a moment and slashed at his chest again.
Then, the armor grabbed Boss Manaka's neck, lifted him up, and nailed him to the wall with the sword in his right hand.
After watching the entire murder process, Inspector Megure clicked pause.
"Wait, this composition seems..." Kogoro Mouri discovered the highlight.
"It's 'Divine Punishment'!" Conan exclaimed.
Inspector Megure asked in confusion: "What is divine punishment?"
Maori Kogoro explained: "It is a painting called Heaven's Punishment hanging not far from the deceased."
While Kogoro Mouri was explaining, Conan secretly rewound the video.
"Look everyone, Boss Manaka seems to have written something and is holding it in his hand!" Conan pointed at the screen, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone looked again carefully and found that it was indeed the case - Boss Manaka took advantage of the moment when the armor was facing away from him, tore off the note on the wall, picked up the pen on the table, wrote something on the paper, and then threw the pen away.
So, everyone returned to the crime scene and found the note.
Inspector Megure opened the note and saw "Kubota" written on it.
"Then the murderer is Kubota! Who is Kubota?" Inspector Megure asked sternly.
Kubota in the crowd panicked instantly, sweating profusely, and repeatedly defended himself: "It wasn't me! I didn't kill him!"
Conan pondered calmly. Kubota was a staff member, and he must have known about the surveillance cameras. So why did he come here specifically to put on armor and kill people? To imitate that painting? No, judging by his previous behavior, Kubota was not someone who loved art.
"Officer, can you let me see the note?" Kitagawa Taki interrupted Officer Megure's question.
Seeing that it was Kitagawa Taki, Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment, but still handed it to him.
Kitagawa Taki took the note with his hand wrapped in a handkerchief. He checked it carefully and found that in addition to bloodstains and Kubota's name on the note, there was also a scratch!
He understood that what Mr. Manaka had written on the paper were just scratches, and the two words "Kubota" were written by the old man before.
At this time, Conan was sticking his butt out on the ground looking for the pen that Boss Manaka had thrown away.
"Conan, have you found the pen thrown away by Boss Manaka?" Kitagawa Taki walked quietly behind Conan.
Conan was so frightened that he looked up suddenly and bumped into a suit of armor.
"It hurts...it hurts. It's Beichuan...Brother. I found the pen."
Beichuan Taki smirked and said, "What about the criminal? Do you want me to remind you?"
Conan thought he was not acting like a child anymore and laughed dryly: "Ahaha, what are you talking about, Beichuan brother? How can a child like me know the criminal?"
"Oh, then you should pay attention to this paper!"
Conan took the note. The note was in Inspector Megure's hand just now and he had no chance to read it. Only then did he notice that there were scratches on it.
'Could it be? '
After Conan returned the note to Kitagawa Taki, he quickly ran back to the monitoring room and "falsely passed on the imperial decree" to transfer the two remaining police officers in the name of Officer Megure, and then repeatedly watched the video of Boss Manaka writing.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed discovered the problem. Boss Manaka showed a surprised expression when he tore off the note.
Conan silently returned to the crime scene. He had already confirmed that the real murderer was not Kubota, and the note was just a trap set by the real murderer to frame Kubota.
The real murderer must be someone inside the art museum. Conan's eyes moved back and forth among the staff.
"Officer, look carefully at this note. There is a faintly visible scratch on it." Kitagawa Taki called out to Officer Megure.
Inspector Megure re-examined the note and said, "Indeed, but what does this prove?"
Kitagawa Taki explained: "The real murderer is not Kubota. The scratch mark was written by Mr. Manaka at the time. He saw Kubota's name and wanted to erase it, but the pen was prepared by the real murderer and could not write at all, so the scratch mark was left."
"Officer Megure, we found blood-stained armor in Mr. Kubota's locker."
At this moment, two policemen ran over carrying a bag of armor.
"Brother Kitagawa?" Inspector Megure turned his gaze to Kitagawa Taki.
"Officer Megure, this is just another frame-up by the real murderer. He hid such a large suit of armor in his room. Did he want the police to find it? Couldn't he just throw it away somewhere?"
Inspector Megure nodded, feeling that it made sense, and then asked: "Then who is the real murderer?"
"In order to frame the culprit with the note, he would have replaced the pen that Manaka threw away with a working pen. I guess the pen that can't write is in the culprit's hands now."
Kitagawa Taki said this and looked at Director Ochiai.
Director Ochiai felt his scalp tingling and his back chilled because the pen was in his pocket.
Kitagawa Taki's eyes clearly showed that he already knew that the pen was with him, but how did he find out?
Kitagawa Taki continued, "Officer Megure, now just check who has that pen on them."
"No need!" Director Ochiai stood up and took out the pen.
Inspector Megure took the written test and found that he could not write it.
Seeing this, Conan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there was not a single collection around the murder scene, because Director Ochiai cherished these collections very much and didn't want them to be contaminated!
"Director, is it really you?" The other staff members couldn't understand why the seemingly kind old man could be the murderer.
"Masakazu is a demon with a corrupted soul. I felt he was beyond redemption, so I hid in armor. You should have seen what happened next."
Director Ochiai was actually calm at this time.
"He is selfish and wants to destroy this sacred art gallery. I will never allow it!"
Conan said slowly: "The knight killed the demon, but his body was also stained with the demon's blood!"
Director Ochiai looked at Conan with some surprise, then laughed out loud and said, "Indeed, I am also the incarnation of the devil!"
Kitagawa Taki knew that it was because Director Ochiai had evil intentions that he was possessed by an evil spirit, and the evil spirit became his accomplice in killing people.
But he was very curious. No one else was surprised at how an old man in his sixties or seventies could wear armor weighing dozens of kilograms, lift a fat man weighing at least 150 kilograms with one hand, and nail him to the wall with a sword?
"Brother Beichuan, this time it's all thanks to you!"
Inspector Megure ordered the police officers to take Director Ochiai away, and he shook hands with Kitagawa Taki.
"No, no." Kitagawa Taki said politely, and by the way, he used his spiritual power to directly liberate Boss Manaka. This kind of new spirit is easy to deal with, and he didn't intend to care about the evil spirit.
The main reason he helped solve the case was to make friends with the police.
Well, it’s definitely not to amuse Conan or satisfy his bad taste.
Xiaolan, standing by, was still immersed in the tragedy, while Sonoko's eyes were already filled with stars.
Conan was very depressed because he fell behind Kitagawa Taki again.
