Chapter 99 Silver Bullet Victory

Everyone came to the monitoring room.

The footage captured by the surveillance camera in the Hell Exhibition Hall was called up.

At around 4:30, the deceased Mr. Sanada came to the Hell Exhibition Hall.

"Will the murderer appear next?" Officer Megure and others looked at the screen expectantly.

Hideki Morohoshi and others also stood together, waiting for the show to take place.

In the picture, Mr. Sanada looked at his watch from time to time with an impatient expression.

"Is he waiting for the murderer?" Miyamoto Aito suddenly said.

"Because you only pay attention to time when you are going to an appointment. You keep looking at your watch and so on... I know, the murderer made an appointment with him to the hell exhibition hall and then killed him. This also means that the murderer may have been hiding in the exhibition hall for a long time.

, waiting for him to show up." The white-haired boy said thoughtfully.

"What Miyamoto said makes sense." Hideki Morohoshi thought for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, he himself wears a watch and checks the time every few minutes when waiting for someone.

"But if the murderer hid in the Hell Exhibition Hall in advance, where would he hide it?" Officer Megure and others had paused the video when Miyamoto Aito opened his mouth and asked now.

"There are a lot of armors in the hell exhibition hall. Armor is originally worn by people, so people can hide in it..." The white-haired boy nodded.

Put on the armor and go to the exhibition hall that is full of armors. In addition to the dim environment, most people probably can't see it.

After all, not everyone has six eyes like him.

"If you put it that way, could it be that..." Officer Megure touched his chin.

"Quick, keep playing the video." He urged.

So the surveillance video continued to play.

In the picture, a knight's armor suddenly moved.

He swung his sword and struck Mr. Sanada.

The wound on the corpse from the shoulder to the abdomen was cut in this way.

He was not killed in one blow. Mr. Sanada escaped in a hurry, and the knight approached step by step with a steady pace.

In panic, Mr. Sanada found a note and a pen on the table. He looked at the note with a shocked expression, quickly took out a pen and wrote on the note, and then angrily

The pen was thrown away.

Immediately afterwards, he was choked by the knight, pierced with a sword, and nailed to the wall.

It’s the same as the previous painting called Heavenly Punishment.

The knight of justice judges sin and is stained with blood.

The cold moon also became a blood moon.

"It's like a murderous art performance..." someone sighed.

"Why did that gentleman show a shocked expression? Right where he got the note..." Miyamoto Aito spoke again.

"Go back and take a look." Officer Memu ordered.

So the police officer rewound the video.

It stopped where Mr. Sanada was holding the note with a shocked expression.

"Did he see something on the paper? But there was only the word Kubota on the paper..." The white-haired boy was thoughtful.

"Sure enough, it was because he found out who the real murderer was, but the murderer left a note with someone else's surname on it, which made him very angry and wanted to expose it, so he used a pen to write the name of the real murderer.

Name, but why did you throw it away in anger? Is it because the pen...can't do it? Write the name of the real murderer." The white-haired boy continued to analyze.

"But we have tried that pen and it can be written." Officer Megure said.

"But in the video, he angrily wrote on the paper with a pen and then threw it away, right? But the pen that Kikukawa and the others picked up had the nib shrunk inside. It was not made by the deceased, nor by us. It was just

Maybe it was done by the murderer. The pen we picked up is fake evidence and was placed there intentionally by the murderer." The white-haired boy went from guessing at the beginning to nodding seriously at the end and said with certainty.

"Indeed, when we picked it up, the nib of the pen was retracted inside." Kikukawa Seiichiro, Jiang Shouhuang and Takizawa Susumu also looked at each other and nodded.

"Show me the note again." Hideki Morohoshi stretched out his hand towards Officer Megure.

Officer Megure handed him the note.

Hideki Morohoshi raised the note towards the light source.

"With scratches, usually if you write on the paper with a pen or ball pen without ink, it will leave marks." Hideki Morohoshi looked at it, put down the note and spoke.

"The pen used by the guy who died is indeed different from the one we picked up."

"The murderer really wanted to frame the man named Kubota. I'm afraid that armor was also placed in a place related to the guy named Kubota." Morohoshi Hideki sneered and spoke in a condescending manner.

"Isn't this pen a souvenir for the 50th anniversary of the Mihua Art Museum? There should be members of these art museums present. Look around and see if whose pen doesn't work, who is the murderer." His eyebrows were sharp.

, with flamboyant eyes and an unscrupulous tone.

"Speaking of which, the positions of the note and ball pen, as well as the position of the armor, were all calculated in advance, so it can be done in one go as shown in the video..." Miyamoto Aito held the stuffed bear in both hands.

Open your mouth again.

"So what Mr. Aoyagi said before, about the news about armors walking around on their own in the Medieval Museum at night, in fact, the truth is that the murderer was practicing in advance." He analyzed in a guessing tone.

After all, technology does require practice.

If you do it for the first time, no matter what you do, it will be more or less jerky and stiff.

Just like when he first practiced piano and violin, his fingers were so stiff that they felt like they were not his own.

"Officer Megure, we found bloody armor from Kubota's cabinet." A police officer came over carrying a bag of armor.

"Yes, I understand." Officer Megure nodded calmly.

We already knew that it was framed by the real murderer, so there was nothing surprising.

"Look for the members of the art gallery present who have pens that cannot be used," he ordered.

"No need to look for it, I did it." Director Ochiai stood up and let out a misty sigh.

He has gray hair, a gray beard, and long gray eyebrows.

Unlike Miyamoto Aito's pure white hair that looks like fluffy clouds, Director Ochiai's hair is gray and lifeless, with diminished vitality.

"Indeed, all this was planned, all to kill that guy Sanada."

"I hid in my armor and slew the hopeless demon."

"He can never take away from me the art that I love like my own son."

"But just like that painting, the knight killed the demon and was contaminated by the demon's blood..." Director Ochiai spoke in an old voice.

"No matter what, I am a murderer." His voice was low.

"God's punishment... is not only a punishment for demons, but also a punishment for knights. Otherwise, the name of this painting should be called The Trial of Knights." Miyamoto Aito looked at the painting beside him under his sunglasses.

The uncle once told him the story about knights and demons.

At the end of the story, the uncle said:

[The knight bathed in the blood of the devil eventually became a new devil, waiting to be killed by the next knight. Over and over again, the story continues to cycle.]

In front of them, the knight in the painting killed the demon, but also bathed in the demon's blood, and the armor on his body was dyed red.

"That's why it's called heavenly punishment..." Kikukawa Seiichiro and the others suddenly realized.

Miyamoto is so awesome! He told the truth directly!

So does Morohoshi! The two of them are not afraid of corpses at all!

"It seems that our first silver bullet case was a great success." Jiang Shouhang smiled and shook his head.

"Miyamoto, come here and take pictures." Hideki Morohoshi stood aside and said.

"Okay." Miyamoto Aito walked towards him holding the stuffed bear.

The reasoning turns out to be so simple.

He learned what the detectives in mystery novels did, and he could get the answer just by connecting the things he observed.

When he walked into the exhibition hall, he had already seen the pen on the ground, and when he saw the note in the deceased's hand, he already knew the trap about the pen. It was not difficult for him to know the answer.

Rather, it is more difficult for him to use the speech of a normal person to turn the direct answer into a reasoning process and tell it to others.

Fortunately, I read a lot of detective novels in order to have something in common with Shinichi-san.

The other three people also walked over very consciously.

Tetsuya Aoyagi had already raised his camera.

When all five people were standing, I pressed the shutter.

A white-haired boy with a bright smile holding a stuffed bear, holding a football in one hand with an unruly expression, a boy wearing a tie, Seiichiro Kikukawa with his hands behind his back, a polite smile, a smiling Emoru Akira, and a shrewd and cunning-looking boy.

Susumu Takizawa.

The picture is fixed on their smiles.

Edogawa Conan looked dazed on the sidelines.

These five elementary school students actually found the murderer...

So fast...

Although he already understood the truth when he saw their discovery, he still had to think of ways to hint to others and did not dare to say it directly, so they were the first to reveal the truth.

But he is Kudo Shinichi, the famous high school detective. It is normal for him to discover it quickly, right?

But these five people...

He is really a primary school student!

And it looked like he was just joining in the fun. The first thing he did when he came in front of the corpse was to take pictures. The first thing he did after catching the murderer was to take pictures, but it turned out...

Did you really find the murderer?!!

Edogawa Conan fell into deep thought.

Looking at the five people on the side who were constantly changing their poses to take pictures, the incomprehension in my heart became more and more intense.

Mouri Kogoro also looked shocked.

Edogawa Conan: Is this scientific?
