Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

The Hell Pavilion was pitch black, and Xiaolan, the first to enter, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so gloomy!"

Conan held Ran's hand tightly: "Of course, after all, it's a hell exhibition hall, so it has to fit the theme."

"Well, this theme is really well done." Kudo Kazuma sniffed, pretending not to know anything and talking nonsense. "Even the strong smell of blood is very realistic."

"Is this the painting?" Xiaolan glanced at the description. "Divine Punishment... This painting tells the story of a righteous knight who sealed away a demon."

Having absorbed the true essence of the soul, Kudo Kazuma continued his nonsense: "Wow, the way the blood is splattered in the painting is really well done. It seems that the smell of blood is what adds to the effect of this painting."

"I can almost hear the sound of blood dripping, tsk tsk tsk, the sound simulation is quite good, this art museum is really good at it..."

Conan, who was standing nearby, suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "No! It's not a simulation! It's Boss Manaka!"

The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw, in the dimly lit exhibition hall, Mr. Zhenzhong was pinned to the wall by a sword, his mouth wide open, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and blood dripping from his body...

"Ah—" Xiaolan's scream rang out, piercing the sky.

Before long, the museum staff arrived, and Inspector Megure also arrived with his men.

The moment Inspector Megure saw Kogoro Mouri, he asked the crucial question: "What, it's you again?"

So Inspector Megure had already been asking "How old are you?" so early on?

Kudo Kazuma was about to go up and say hello when he saw Inspector Megure walk past Kogoro Mouri, laugh heartily, and pat his own shoulder: "Kudo, you're here too! Great, the culprit can't escape now..."

Kudo Kazuma was speechless for a moment, then asked the same pointed question: "Inspector Megure, if I may ask, are you still not cured of your face blindness?"

"Ah? It's you, Edogawa-kun! Ahahaha, hahahaha, the lighting here isn't very good, I didn't see you clearly just now, sorry, sorry..."

Before Kudo Kazuma could speak, Inspector Megure quickly changed the subject: "Is everyone here? Has anyone seen the culprit or any suspicious persons?"

Director Ochiai said, "Before the police arrived, we had all checked and no one saw any suspicious persons."

"Is that so?" Kudo Kazuma suddenly spoke up. "You're the murderer, aren't you, Director?"

In a flash, almost everyone turned to look at Director Ochiai.

Conan then looked at Kazuma Kudo: "Do you have any evidence?"

That's outrageous! You're even faster than the murderer at refuting it!

Kudo Kazuma rolled his eyes at the miniature version of his unlucky older brother, clearly annoyed.

The original storyline revolves around Director Ochiai.

Besides, ever since Director Ochiai came in, Boss Manaka's originally bewildered soul has been staring intently at him, even showing signs of wanting to pounce on this old sword saint and kill him. Who else could be the murderer but him?

"No evidence, just a sixth sense."

Kudo Kazuma was speechless. If he hadn't wanted to let his unlucky brother experience the thrill of being a detective, he would have gone up there right now and used sound manipulation to make the old man confess.

“Without evidence…” Inspector Megure scratched his head, “That won’t do.”

“I don’t believe it was the curator.” The staff member pointed to a high corner, “There are security cameras in the museum, we can go check them out, what if they captured the killer?”

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "There are surveillance cameras? Great!"

What a load of rubbish! The surveillance footage shows armored soldiers killing people. With the capabilities of your Metropolitan Police Department, what use is seeing this?

Moreover, having completed the mission and obtained the spirit, he wanted to go back.

Do you really think he doesn't get tired after spending an entire afternoon shopping with a girl?

He's a man too, okay?

Kudo Kazuma glanced sympathetically at his older brother, who was frantically searching for evidence, and then used his [Sound Bewitching] skill to speak.

"The way the deceased died was exactly the same as the demon in that painting 'Divine Punishment.' The righteous knight used his sword to seal off the demon's existence. Curator Ochiai, are you very satisfied with your 'work'?"

Director Ochiai stopped in his tracks.

The others who were planning to go to the monitoring room stopped in their tracks and looked at Kudo Kazuma, whose hands were in his pockets and half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

Kazuma Kudo shrugged and looked at Director Ochiai: "But have you ever considered that when the blood of a demon splatters on a knight, the knight will also fall?"

"No matter how righteous your reasons are, murder is murder. When you killed Mr. Zhenzhong, you already sullied your hands that loved art. Isn't that a kind of depravity?"

Director Ochiai was surprised that Kazuma Kudo could understand his feelings so well. He had originally wanted to frame Kubota, but now he didn't want to think about it anymore.

He let out a long sigh.

"Yes, now I've become the embodiment of the devil myself."

“Officer, Iijima, I killed Manaka. There’s no need to check the surveillance footage…”

Conan, who had just pulled crucial evidence from under the table, was left bewildered.

No, isn't this situation a bit similar to yesterday?

In the dimly lit hell exhibition hall, Director Ochiai stands in front of Boss Manaka's corpse, calmly recounting his motives, methods, and preparations for the murder.

His stance is remarkably similar to the composition of the painting "Divine Punishment".

Kudo Kazuma completely concealed himself in the darkness, took out his phone, and sent a message to Gin.

[Have you heard about the rumored haunted medieval art museum? It's in a good location and big enough; let the organization prepare to buy it at a low price. Mission accomplished! —Danpo]

Although this is Death's achievement, he and Death are twin brothers.

Why isn't it counted as a task he completed?

He received a reply from Gin as soon as he sent the message.

The short reply was filled with great doubt.

【? 】

Looking at the upright Ochiai Museum Director and Manaka, who was still pinned to the wall by a sword behind him, Kudo Kazuma sent another message.

[You're pushing them too hard; their new boss, Shinjō, is going to die from your pressure—Danpo]

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Conan suddenly jumped up and grabbed his hand to look at the contents of the phone.

What the hell!

Kudo Kazuma was almost scared away by this little grim reaper who suddenly appeared.

Straining to suppress the urge to throw his unlucky brother out, he shoved his phone screen at Conan's face in an annoyed tone: "I'm texting my sister-in-law! Do you want to see it?!"

Conan was startled when he saw the four words "Unlucky Bro" stuck to his face in the contact information.

Kudo Kazuma didn't care about that, and typed a few more words on his phone and sent them.

Almost at the same time, Conan's cell phone rang.

He quickly let go of Kudo Kazuma, hid in another corner, turned on his phone, and then his face darkened.

【I'm at the art museum with your Xiaolan, and when did they get this rude brat? I really want to give him a good beating!】

Before he could reply, another message arrived.

Where did you run off to? When are you coming back? Your Xiaolan and I get along so naturally, she's not thinking of me as a substitute for you, is she?

After reading it, Conan couldn't help but jump up and down, wishing he could rush out, reveal his identity, and beat up Kudo Kazuma.

fart!

Xiaolan was clearly very polite to him, so when did she start treating him as her substitute?

That brat!

He was so angry!
