Corpse collector in Conan

The witnesses failed to provide much useful information, and no suspicious persons were seen.

But soon, the police were surprised to learn that there was a running surveillance camera in the hell exhibition hall.

——The surveillance camera is facing the location of the corpse.

It is impossible for a corpse to hang itself on the wall by itself.

In other words, as long as you check the surveillance, you can see the murderer who nailed Boss Zhenzhong!

The Mumu police officer twirled his mustache happily, thinking that he had met a stupid murderer.

When committing a crime, he did not check the surveillance cameras around him first. It may be due to lack of awareness in this regard...

Times are indeed progressing.

Criminals who cannot keep up with the times will soon be eliminated.

…

But it's a pity.

When seeing the surveillance footage, the Memu Police Department showed a disappointed look.

——At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Boss Manaka walked into the surveillance screen while looking at his watch and started waiting for someone.

However, no second person entered the exhibition hall.

On the contrary, in the corner, a knight's armor suddenly waved the Western sword in his hand - there was a person hidden in the armor.

The "Knight" slashed the boss of Manaka several times.

In the middle of the process, he thoughtfully left a little space for Boss Manaka to write a note with his "last words".

After that, the knight grabbed Manaka's boss by the neck, lifted him up, pressed him against the wall, and nailed him to death with a sword.

When the surveillance video was played, Jiang Xia walked next to the police and watched the death scene with them.

At first, Jiang Xia was worried that she would be driven away.

Fortunately, the police have no idea at all.

Not to mention coming over to chase him away, no one even bothered to monitor the primary school students in front of him.

Jiang Xia immediately felt relieved.

…

In fact, Jiang Xia remembered the general content without looking at the surveillance.

But in order to pick up more ghosts, he has to grow into a famous detective who can look around.

If you want to be famous, you must solve the case; if you want to solve the case, you must have reasoning materials...

In short, what is captured by surveillance is not important.

The important thing is to let others know that Jiang Xia has indeed seen the surveillance.

Jiang Xia read it over and noticed several details.

He was even more certain that this case was consistent with what he remembered.

And just now, before the body was removed, Jiang Xia paid attention to the leg-picking shikigami.

Its resentment is indeed directed at the curator.

So the killer hidden in the armor should be the museum director. The angry old man with a white beard.

Director Ochiai made an appointment with Manaka's boss to meet at the Hell Exhibition Hall.

Before Manaka's boss arrived, he placed a pen that could not write and a piece of paper with "Kubota" written on it near the assassination site.

Afterwards, the curator deliberately stopped in the middle of the murder and struck a handsome pose, so as to give Manaka boss time to "write a suicide note", and this scene was captured by surveillance cameras.

In this way, when the police find the "suicide note" based on the surveillance footage, they will see "Kubota" on it and regard Kubota as an important suspect.

Kubota is also an employee of their museum. He usually doesn't pay much attention to the exhibits and sometimes steals them.

The curator dismissed him in advance, leaving him without an alibi.

After killing Manaka, the curator left leisurely and stuffed the bloody armor he wore when committing the crime into Kubota's cabinet.

In this way, the two major concerns of the curator can be solved at the same time.

Jiang Xia reviewed the modus operandi, turned to look at where Director Ochiai was, and took out his cell phone.

In his cell phone, there is a video he secretly filmed just now.

The main character being photographed is Director Ochiai.

Just now, when the police called for surveillance, the curator pretended to tie his shoelaces, squatted down, and replaced the pen on the floor that was used by Zhenzhong's boss with a good pen that could not write.

The curator's actions were actually very covert, and the timing of secretly exchanging physical evidence was also well chosen.

Unfortunately, from the very beginning, he was targeted by a psychic who secretly cheated on him.

While the police were contemplating the surveillance, Jiang Xia skipped the reasoning step and walked next to the curator.

The curator was holding his hands behind his back, staring deeply at the oil painting on the wall - the oil painting of a knight killing a demon, but covered in blood.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the knight in the painting was in a very similar situation to his.

——Handsome, tragic, sacrificing everything just to eliminate evil.

Just as he was sighing, a faint sentence suddenly floated over from beside him:

"The knight of justice subdued the devil, but at the same time, he himself was infected with the blood of evil... Is that what you think?"

The curator was startled and almost thought he had accidentally spoken his heartbeat.

He turned his head sharply and looked to his side.

He saw the young man who first discovered the body walking next to him at some point.

Director Ochiai felt guilty for a few seconds.

After a while, he twirled his beard and felt that he was thinking too much.

His plan cannot be easily seen through.

Jiang Xia was probably just talking about oil painting.

The curator calmed down and nodded kindly:

"I didn't expect that someone could make the same interpretation as me - many other people thought that "Heavenly Punishment" was depicting the victory of the knight, but in fact, the knight really paid too much to kill the demon."

The curator suddenly met a like-minded tourist. He was a little happy and planned to continue introducing his beloved oil painting.

However, the "confidant" next to him did not follow the conversation.

Jiang Xia glanced at the oil painting and changed the subject: "You should know that when signing a land sales contract, the seller can impose restrictions on the subsequent use of the land - such as writing 'continue to operate the exhibition hall' into the contract."

The curator was startled, and his eyes left the oil painting and moved to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia was also looking at him: "It's just that this kind of restriction will dissuade many buyers. No one wants to renovate what they bought and have to be criticized by others. So once restrictions are added to the contract, the land , it will become difficult to sell.

“For the seller, that is, the former boss who has employed you for decades and has a good relationship with you, his purpose is to sell the land and get money.

“After that, the land and the sold pavilion will become completely irrelevant to him like the money spent when buying groceries.

"Now it seems that he did not include the 'restriction of land use' agreement into the contract. Maybe he had done that before, but canceled it because the land could not be sold."

The curator lowered his head, his thick eyebrows covering his eyes, and he remained silent.

The young man opposite continued to chatter.

Listening to those too-realistic truths, the curator's breathing gradually became heavier and a little angry. At first, he really didn't realize that Jiang Xia talked so much.

"Even a rookie who has just been working for a few months will not believe a promise that is not written into the contract, let alone your former boss, an experienced businessman."

Jiang Xia said and looked at the curator: "Speaking of which, you are already quite old. You have been working hard in the workplace for decades, and you are still a curator. You must have signed a lot of contracts, so you won't never do it." You’ve thought about this, haven’t you?”

Conan slipped to the side and listened silently for a long time: "..."

Although he doesn't quite understand the cause... but does it really not matter if he is so sinister to an old man? !

If the curator is so angry with Jiang Xia that he suffers a heart attack, Jiang Xia will be responsible.

In addition, judging from what Jiang Xia said, he seemed to suspect that the curator was the murderer.

……Why?

Also, how could Jiang Xia know so much about the exhibition hall?

Could it be that the lady at the ticket office told him?
