The occurrence of the case made Conan instantly enter a state of reasoning madness.
While Mouri Kogoro had no time to attend to the scene, he quickly observed the situation at the crime scene.
Under the surface of this brutal and bloody murder case, the clues left by the murderer were particularly obvious. He recalled what he had seen with Xiaolan not long ago.
At that time, he was dragged by Xiaolan to visit Hell. When he reached the entrance of the exhibition hall, he was stopped by a sign saying "No Entry".
Thinking about it now, the reason why the signboard was erected there should be to create a murder place where no outsiders would come to disturb it. The murderer carried out the murder plan while the exhibition hall was blocked.
But then, doubts emerged.
Logically speaking, only internal staff of the art museum can place the signboards. However, it should be noted that the signboards can only prevent outside visitors from entering, but internal staff will not be affected by them.
Therefore, those who do this kind of behavior must also have the ability to ward off insiders who may be approaching and prevent them from accidentally breaking into the murder scene.
People with this ability...
Conan's eyes fell on the deceased.
The deceased, Mr. Manaka, was the investor who spent money to buy the art museum from the original owner. The condition negotiated at that time was that he would continue to take over the operation of the art museum. However, after the deal was concluded, he quickly turned his back and directly stated that he would close the art museum. Instead, open a restaurant.
This kind of dishonesty was probably the reason why he was killed this time.
If you have a certain status in the museum, you will be killed when the museum is closed.
The clues Conan found clearly pointed to one person - the Ochiai curator.
But the problem is——
The cause of death of the deceased was a sword piercing his chest, and the sword penetrated his body and pinned the deceased to the wall. Did the old Ochiai curator really have the physical strength?
Or is it that some kind of mechanism is used?
With this in mind, Conan wanted to get closer to the scene for detailed investigation.
As he stepped forward.
"You brat! Don't run around in a place like this!"
After maintaining order, Mouri Kogoro spared no time and struck Conan's mind with an iron fist.
"Xiaolan, drag this kid out, he actually wants to run to the corpse."
Before Conan could react, he was grabbed by the back of his collar and thrown in front of Mao Lilan.
Hello--
Conan looked at the scene getting further and further away from him, feeling reluctant to give up. However, his childhood sweetheart who was proficient in karate was so strong that he could only give up the struggle and wait for the arrival of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Anyway, he can fool the police officers at the Metropolitan Police Department for any reason. When the time comes, he can use more manpower to investigate.
Mao Lilan took Conan to find a place to sit down in a place with few people.
What a coincidence.
Asakura Makoto and Miyano Shiho just looked at them sitting opposite each other.
After all, Conan had a keen intuition and was directly aware of the sight in front of him.
"Is it Miss Mao Lilan?"
It was the man who spoke.
Hearing this name, Conan was suspicious. Do they know each other?
"Hello, what can I do?"
Mao Lilan was not wary and answered whenever someone asked.
"Well, it's like this. I've been in some trouble recently and I want to meet Mr. Kudo Shinichi, the famous detective." Asakura asked as if he didn't know Conan's identity.
"Ah?" Mao Lilan didn't expect that the stranger she met while out sightseeing would actually ask her about Kudo Shinichi. After being slightly surprised, she still answered honestly, "I haven't been able to contact her in the past few days. He, maybe he is busy with some case, um, is what you are talking about important?"
It's a lie...
Asakura recognized the falsehood in Mao Lilan's words. Conan definitely contacted Mao Lilan during this period, and probably told Mao Lilan that when someone asked about his whereabouts, he replied that she had also lost Kudo Shinichi's. information.
As for the reason for using it, not surprisingly, it should be to prevent the suspect from obtaining the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi from Mao Lilan and thus becoming vigilant.
"How should I put it? It's not important. Since you can't contact Kudo Shinichi, then forget it." Asakura really got the result and stopped asking further, "Excuse me."
But at this moment, Conan's mind was filled with warning signs. What was this man's purpose?
If the problem is serious, he should ask Xiaolan to contact Kudo Shinichi and convey the request to him;
If the question were easy, he wouldn't ask a woman whose identity he couldn't be 100% sure about during a sightseeing tour.
has a problem.
Conan lowered his head to prevent the two people opposite from noticing his expression of fear of facing a formidable enemy. After he had mentally prepared himself and used the acting talent he inherited from his mother, he pretended to be a child and looked up, only to find that the question was The two people who spoke had already stood up from their seats.
"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the toilet!"
The situation was urgent and without any time to explain, Conan immediately found an excuse and ran quickly towards the toilet with his legs crossed without waiting for Mao Lilan's consent.
As soon as he turned the corner, his movements returned to normal, he stopped and paid attention to the whereabouts of Asakura Makoto and the two from around the corner.
"...."
"Aren't you going to finish this case?" Miyano Shiho asked.
"Didn't I tell you who the murderer was?" Asakura answered as he walked.
"But I want to know how he did it." Miyano Shiho randomly made excuses. The main scene will not start for a while. What they have to do now is to catch the fish following them like bait. .
"He jumped up in his armor and stabbed the dead man to death."
"Is that curator an old man? Will he use this method of killing?"
Miyano Shiho did not question whether Director Ochiai could do something like this, which even a mature man might not be able to achieve. She just wondered why she would adopt such a difficult method since she decided to kill someone.
"Because if you put on the knight's armor, you can kill demons like the legendary knight. In the eyes of a murderer who loves art works, the person who demolishes the art museum may be no different from the demon."
The two walked all the way to the parking lot and got in the car.
Conan made sure that they couldn't see him in the car, then he emerged from the corner, crouched down and lurked over, leaning against the car door lightly, listening to the sounds inside.
Faintly, he heard.
"The poisonous scorpion guy used that thing to kill people but didn't recover the body. News of Kudo Shinichi's death has not leaked out yet, so I suspect he is probably not dead."
"Not dead, you mean?"
“That thing worked.”
"But isn't that a drug confirmed to be ineffective on humans?"
"Who knows, maybe Kudo Shinichi has a special physique and the medicine can have a special reaction with him, allowing him to rejuvenate like those white mice."
Hearing this, how could Conan not understand what he was talking about.
These two people turned out to be the accomplices of the two guys who attacked him in the amusement park!
