A Sorcerer in the Detective World

Chapter 36 Poor and Sad Knight~

The next day, in a meeting room in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Gao Mushe looked at the few transcripts in front of him, stood up and bowed: "I'm really bothering you, I made you waste precious time and ran away."

Mori Kogoro immediately scratched his head with a smile and said, "Officer Takagi is polite, this is what we should do."

Shu Yunwen also said with a smile: "It is our duty to cooperate with the police in handling the case!"

Officer Takagi turned around and went out. Not long after, another officer came in and called out Mori Kogoro and Xiao Ran. Immediately, only Conan, Shu Yunwen, and Matsushita Heisaburo were left in the conference room.

"Shu Yunwen, why did you help Director Ochiai to cover up the crime yesterday? The real murderer should be Director Ochiai, right? Kubota was framed as a murderer by Director Ochiai!" Conan stared at Shu Yunwen.

Shu Yunwen yawned boredly, and rolled his eyes: "Little friend Edogawa, I don't quite understand what you mean by that! What do you mean by helping Curator Ochiai cover up a crime? I don't even know who the murderer is." I don’t even know, okay? Also, when addressing elders, you can’t just call me by name, you have to call me ‘Brother Yunwen’, you understand?”

Conan stared into Shu Yunwen's eyes: "The real culprit is Director Ochiai, that's right. When Boss Manaka was killed, Kubota's name was written on the note in his hand, but that name was written in advance. Alright. After curator Ochiai forced Boss Manaka to the place where the ball pen and the piece of paper with Kubota’s name on it were placed, he said to Boss Manaka, “Look, the murderer is written on that piece of paper.” name'. After seeing the name of Kubota written on it, Boss Manaka picked up the ballpoint pen next to it and wanted to cross it out and write the name of the real murderer."

"However, of course he couldn't write. Because the ballpoint pen couldn't write anything at all. However, his actions of writing and drawing on the paper were used by the murderer to make the police officer think that it was Kubota's name written down by Boss Manaka..."

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes: "Little friend Edogawa, you have said so much, do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence? The evidence is the ball pen that can't write any words." Conan said, "Originally, at the scene at the time, this would be an ironclad evidence that can make Director Ochiai plead guilty. Unfortunately, it seems that you should have discovered it. , destroyed it in advance. The ballpoint pen in Ochiai’s hand at that time should belong to the vice president of Matsushita, right? You snatched the ballpoint pen on purpose, and then asked the vice president of Matsushita to draw me a map of the toilet. It is to let the vice president of Matsushita touch the ballpoint pen and leave fingerprints. This is just in case, the police will authenticate the ballpoint pen, right?"

Well, I have to say, Conan was right again.

Shu Yunwen's original thought was indeed like this.

"However, even if Director Ochiai is temporarily exonerated, he will still be suspected by the police and arrested in a short time. As for Mr. Kubota, he should be released without charge by tomorrow at the latest. ..." Conan continued.

Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

Conan was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Actually, apart from the ball pen that can't write, there are many other evidences that are enough to prove that the curator is guilty and Kubota is not guilty."

"First of all, it's the word 'kubota' on that piece of paper. At the scene, due to limited conditions, the police were unable to conduct a more detailed forensic test. They would take it for granted that the word 'kubota' was the real boss. Written down. However, as soon as they arrive at the police station, the police officers will definitely conduct a more detailed appraisal of all the evidence. Then, they will find that the word "Kubata" does not match the handwriting of Boss Zhenzhong. It was not written by the same person at all. When they have doubts, they will identify the scratches on the paper, and they will find that those scratches were left by the real boss. The police officers are not stupid. With these two point, they would naturally think,

That piece of paper was prepared beforehand. Moreover, the ballpoint pen captured in the surveillance camera can't write anything at all! "

"Moreover, it's blood. The blood stains on the armor, no matter how careful a normal person wants to take off the armor, there will definitely be blood stains on his body and clothes. But Mr. Kubota didn't get any blood stains at all. , and couldn’t find hidden clothes with bloodstains, etc. As for wearing a raincoat on your body, although it is feasible, it will still leave a blood-stained raincoat. In short, no matter what, you will definitely leave with The blood-stained thing, and there is no time to deal with it. But Mr. Kubota only found the blood-stained armor, isn't that strange?"

"Finally, there are hairs and dander. Just like the bloodstains mentioned earlier, as long as the murderer comes into contact with the armor, it is very likely that hair, dander, fluff on clothes, etc. will be left behind. These are still easy to collect It was identified. As long as the police discover something, they will definitely find that there will be hair, dander, fluff, etc. of the curator on it. Moreover, there may be blood stains on these things..."

When Conan said this, he paused for a while, and then he said: "Of course, these are enough evidence chains to conclude that Director Ochiai is the murderer. In addition, there are other evidences. But to prove Kubota's innocence , any one of them is enough. As for the evidence enough to conclude that Director Ochiai is the murderer, it takes at most three to five days to collect enough evidence..."

Conan's reasoning left Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heisaburo speechless.

If it is true as what Conan said, it seems that Director Ochiai will not be able to completely get rid of the crime no matter what!

After all, Director Ochiai has been practicing with that set of armor. I believe that the evidence left in that suit of armor is enough to convict him!

Shu Yunwen was very uncomfortable being stared at by Conan, squinted his eyes, and resorted to a trick: "Conan, I sometimes wonder, you are just a child, why are you so powerful?"

"Uh..." Conan was hit to the vitals, his blood volume dropped sharply, and he turned on the mode of showing off cuteness, "Oh, I, I just heard what Uncle Maori said!"

"Did Mr. Maori say that? Then let him tell me in person!" Shu Yunwen slapped Conan on the forehead, "Also, if you suspect that I'm covering up Director Ochiai, then show evidence ! Without evidence, I will not admit it!"

"Ouch."

Conan rubbed his head.

hateful! If he had evidence, he would have let Kogoro Moori sleep and expose Shu Yunwen long ago!

Shu Yunwen is covering up the matter of the curator Ochiai, and he has no evidence at all!

At this moment, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened, and Takagi came in with his head in, and greeted Shu Yunwen with a smile: "Yun Wensang, please come out for a while, is that okay? Officer Mumu needs your help..."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Shu Yunwen nodded in agreement, then turned his head and said, "By the way, Matsushita-san, you can drive outside the police station and wait for me first. Officer Takagi, leaving Conan here alone seems like Isn't it suitable? Why don't I take him there too?"

"This, it should be fine..."

...

Search Section 1, at the police officer's desk.

Shu Yunwen walked over with Conan, and greeted the familiar police officers around by the way.

Mori Kogoro and Mao Lilan were at the desk of Police Officer Mumu. After seeing Shu Yunwen, Officer Mumu stood up, greeted him, and thanked him first: "Yun Wensang, thank you for coming to take notes today. Really Sorry to trouble you. In addition, our police have one more matter, and I would like to ask Yun Wensang to recall it carefully..."

"Memory? Reminiscence of what?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.

Beside Shu Yunwen, Conan showed a knowing smile.

"The content that Yun Wensang recalled was about the case at the Zhongshi Art Museum last night." Police officer Mu Mu motioned Shu Yunwen and Conan to sit down, and then said, "Please allow me to talk to Yun Wensang about this matter first." The latest progress of the case. Originally, the police should not have disclosed the progress of the investigation of the case. However, because Mr. Mao Li and Yun Wensang had helped our police a lot before, and you were all present in the case last night, It can provide us with certain reference opinions. Therefore, I will make an exception and inform you..."

"... After returning last night, we conducted a detailed appraisal of the evidence found at the scene, and the final result showed that Mr. Kubota brought back by our police is probably not a criminal."

"Ah..." Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes, then fell silent.

Police Officer Megure paused for a moment, and then said: "As for the detailed appraisal results of the evidence, they must be kept secret, so I can't tell you. However, because of the identification of evidence, Mr. Kubota's suspicion has been reduced, and our police believe that , he was probably deliberately framed by the real murderer. Everyone knows that when they were at the scene, the armor was found in Mr. Kubota's cabinet. Since Mr. Kubota was not the murderer, someone must have taken the blood-stained Putting the armor into Kubota's cabinet can only be done by someone who is familiar with the art museum. Therefore, the crimes committed by the employees of the art museum may have increased..."

"Now, our police are conducting a second investigation of the employees in the China World Art Museum."

"Excuse me, when you were at the scene, did you find anything strange?"

Shu Yunwen directly shook his head and said, "No."

As for Mori Kogoro, he put on a thoughtful look, and then said: "I still think that the vice president of Matsushita is very suspicious..."

Shu Yunwen: "..."

Xiaolan: "..."

Conan: "..."

"..." Officer Mumu smiled helplessly, "...Mr. Mori, stop joking! The vice president of Matsushita has not left long enough to commit the crime. Moreover, the main target of our suspicion now is the art museum. People who are familiar with the inside. The vice president of Matsushita should not belong to this category."

At this time, Conan suddenly said innocently: "Ah! Officer Megure, speaking of it, if Kubota is not the murderer, then his luck is really bad! If he did not happen to be killed during the time of committing the crime, If Uncle Ochiai Curator arranged to work in the office, then he would not be suspected..."

Shu Yunwen reached out and rubbed Conan's head.

This little guy is clearly trying to remind Director Ochiai of a problem by beating around the bush!

"Hmm..." Officer Megure and Mori Kogoro came to their senses at the same time, and then Officer Megure said, "That curator Ochiai is indeed very suspicious and needs to be investigated."

Hearing this, Shu Yunwen sighed helplessly in his heart.

Being watched by the police, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Director Ochiai is caught.

He originally wanted Curator Ochiai to spend his last days outside the detention center, but now it seems that the possibility is unlikely.

Police officer Mumu asked some more questions. Shu Yunwen asked a question and didn't know what to do, while Mouri Kogoro was all kinds of funny. After chatting for a while, Officer Mumu had something to do, so Shu Yunwen and Mouri Kogoro said goodbye and left.

...

Returning to the office full of thoughts, Shu Yunwen glanced at the reception room, and when he saw a figure, he was taken aback for a moment, and quickly motioned to Matsushita Heisaburo behind him: "Matsushita-san, please invite Director Ochiai to my office inside."

"Yes, Lord Yunwen!"

Shu Yunwen returned to the office, and within a minute, Matsushita Heisaburo walked in with Director Ochiai.

Shu Yunwen smiled slightly, and pointed to the sofa in front of his desk: "Director Ochiai, please sit down."

"Hay, Master Yunwen." Curator Ochiai nodded and sat down on the sofa.

Heisaburo Matsushita took out three cups from the cabinet and asked, "Curator Ochiai, would you like something to drink?"

Curator Ochiai said in a low voice, "A glass of water is enough."

After a pause, Director Ochiai continued, "Master Yunwen, Mr. Matsushita, thank you both for what happened yesterday. I didn't expect that young child to be so observant... "

Shu Yunwen pouted: "Director Ochiai, what did we do yesterday? Also, don't think that you can escape the police's investigation by doing this. Now, the police have concluded that Kubota is not the real murderer, and they have begun to suspect you It's..."

"I know." Curator Ochiai replied softly.

"You know?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "You don't know, you are already prepared to be caught, right?"

Director Ochiai said: "That's right. I was ready to be caught since I wanted to kill Boss Manaka. Mr. Yunwen, do you know? In my heart, the Medieval Art Museum is like My child is the same. The former owner did not manage well, and after the art gallery was sold to Boss Zhenzhong, I thought that with the help of Boss Zhenzhong, the art gallery could rejuvenate and attract many customers. However, I really did not expect that, Zhenzhong That guy, the boss, actually wanted to convert the art gallery into a restaurant! From the moment I heard the news, in my eyes, he was not a human being at all, but a demon! A demon with an ugly and depraved soul! "

"Since he is a demon, he shouldn't exist in this world. Therefore, I must get rid of him! I want to become a knight who slays demons!"

Director Ochiai finished his words, next to him, Heisaburo Matsushita poured water and coffee, and was about to turn around to Shu Yunwen and Director Ochiai, when he saw an unbelievable scene, the tray in his hand could not be held firmly, and fell to the ground ——

In his eyes, a layer of transparent knight's armor suddenly appeared around Director Ochiai's body, which looked like it was real.

"Curse"!

Director Ochiai was already influenced by that painting at that time.

Shu Yunwen frowned slightly: "Director Ochiai, it may be rude to ask... But, do you know your situation? I have to tell you that your current situation should be caused by being arrested in the exhibition hall of hell. , influenced by the painting called "Heaven's Punishment"..."

"I know a little bit, but it's not important." Curator Ochiai shook his head, "Actually, everything is just like what was drawn in that painting, right? I became a knight, killed the demon, But it's also stained with the blood of evil. However, as long as you can kill that demon, all of this is worth it."

Shu Yunwen stared at Director Ochiai: "Since you are ready to be arrested, why did you deliberately frame that Kubota?"

Curator Ochiai replied softly: "That's because I still have some things to deal with, so I need someone to attract the attention of the police; as for why I chose Kubota... because this nasty guy has been secretly reselling the museum. Shouldn't he be punished? Of course, I won't really frame him as a murderer, just to let him have a taste of it. When the police prove his innocence or I surrender myself, I will hand over the evidence I have collected about his secretly selling art to the police, so that he will be punished as he deserves. He must pay the price for what he has done!"

When Director Ochiai spoke, his voice went from low to high, and finally it was almost like a roar.

From the looks of it, Kubota is as ugly as a devil in his heart, but the crime does not deserve death.

"Well..." Shu Yunwen nodded, "It seems that you have already made a decision, so I won't say more. However, I have to remind you that you'd better hurry up. Even if the police temporarily Insufficient, if you are not arrested, you will die in half a month at most."

Curator Ochiai was silent, and after a while, he asked, "Is it because of...that painting?"

"That's right." Shu Yunwen nodded, "You should have found out, right? During this period of time, you were full of energy, strength, and strength. That's because your soul was affected by that painting .However, because of this, your soul has been affected, and in half a month at most, you will definitely die!"

"Actually, I can feel it." Curator Ochiai responded without saying anything, as if he had already accepted all this.

Shu Yunwen continued to say: "By the way, Director Ochiai. The painting in the museum is just a disaster if left in the hands of ordinary people. If possible, I would like to collect that painting, can I?"

"No problem." Curator Ochiai agreed, "However, that painting cannot be given to you for free..."

"Ten million yen." Shu Yunwen offered a price.

Director Ochiai nodded: "Later, I will send someone to deliver the painting, please prepare the money, Mr. Yunwen."

After saying a few more casual words, Director Ochiai stood up: "Sorry, Master Yunwen, I still have some things to deal with, so I have to leave immediately. However, I still want to thank you, thank you Help me."

"Well, you're welcome." Shu Yunwen said.

Director Ochiai asked again: "By the way. Yesterday, Yun Wen-sang took the ballpoint pen from me. Can Yun Wen-sang return it to me?"

"Matsushita-san, where is the ballpoint pen?" Shu Yunwen turned his head and asked.

Matsushita Heisaburo immediately said: "It's in the office's safe, I'll get it right away."

After Matsushita Heisaburo brought the ballpoint pen, Director Ochiai took his leave again and got up to leave.

"Yun, Yunwen-sama, did you see it just now? It's on Director Ochiai..." Heisaburo Matsushita stammered.

Shu Yunwen nodded: "Of course I saw it."

"Curator Ochiai... is a pitiful and pathetic knight!"

PS: Well... this is my evaluation of Director Ochiai.
