Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

A huge amount of blood spurted out like a blooming flower of conviction.

After everything was over, Director Ochiai, who had done his best, left the camera range, found the prepared package, carefully took off his armor, put it in the sack, then found the ballpoint pen thrown by Manaka, and replaced it with the one he was carrying with him.

That way, the police wouldn't realize that the handwriting on the note wasn't real.

Winnet, who left the hell, didn't know all this.

When she said those words, she was not actually talking to Director Ochiai, but to Iijima.

She thought Iijima was determined to kill Manaka himself. Because the commission she had given him was time-delayed, and Manaka's actions were no longer controlled by him. Although Winette suspected that the person might be Director Ochiai, she quickly denied it - how could an old man over 70 wear such heavy armor and swing a sword at a strong middle-aged man.

Even if the wearer is not an old man, it is not certain that he can kill the opponent if he resists.

Winnet subconsciously ruled out this possibility.

She had guessed most of the crime process and knew that Iijima's goal was to frame the murder on Kubota. There was a ballpoint pen on the edge of the counter under the armor, and there was a note on the wall. Knowing this, she had room to operate.

Normally, people who do work don’t carry around heavy, high-value ballpoint pens.

She found Kubota's room, confirmed that no one was inside, and sneaked in.

Sure enough, she found a ballpoint pen in Kubota's personal belongings that was exactly the same as the one found inside the crime scene.

She took the ballpoint pen away.

Then hide in the corner of the corridor.

To her surprise, the person pushing the cart was not Iijima, but Director Ochiai.

"conspiracy?"

"No... I don't think these two people are the type to drag each other into this. Is that Director Ochiai in the armor?"

If one has outstanding physical fitness when young and exercises regularly when old, it is indeed possible to support the armor... Winette still finds it incredible, so she can only classify it as the power of the mind and emotions. This is not idealism. When driven by strong emotions, even a superficial and monotonous type like excitement can play an unimaginable role.

Winnett had experienced this firsthand, so it was not difficult for her to understand.

After Director Ochiai entered the room, Winnett crossed the corridor and returned to the circular lounge chair in the center of the hall as if nothing had happened. A moment later, the Maori family came out of the previous exhibition hall.

"I'm so tired, Sister Xiaolan. Let's go back."

"I am hungry."

……

204 Heavenly Punishment

The two, one young and one big, began to complain, and Mao Lilan said speechlessly:

"You two are really terrible. You can't stand it after just a few laps."

Soon, she saw Winnett waiting and waved:

"Is Miss Winnet finished her shopping too?"

"Um……"

"That……"

Mao Lilan was about to say "Let's go back" when she suddenly found that the "No Entry" sign that had been placed between the hells was gone. She regained her interest and said, "Ms. Winnet, the exhibition hall over there seems to be open. Shall we go over and take a look together?"

That direction is...

Between Hell.

Winnett was a little distressed. If she really went in, she would probably see a bloody corpse inside a dark and weird exhibition area. She felt that there was an 80% chance that the girl Mao Lilan would be left with psychological trauma after seeing it.

It would be fine if it were just that, but the problem is... Winette glanced at Kogoro who was resting.

With a detective present, Winnett thought things would become more complicated. However, the people present were called back anyway, and the process was already determined. It would be meaningless to send Mao Lilan away. Based on this advance thinking, Winnett agreed to Mao Lilan's invitation; Mao Lilan smiled happily, and then turned to the big and small group resting in the back-to-back position, "Since we came here specially to see it, let's go to the last room to take a look."

"Hey!" The two shouted at the same time.

"It's okay if you want to go back first," Mao Lilan said, "but you have to cook dinner for yourselves."

Winnett found this family farce quite interesting. If she and Shirley really lived together, she might feel lazy and want to rely on each other. If she was the one being threatened, she would definitely be led by the nose, but this kind of coercion was somewhat warm, just like a real family - it was the home that Shirley gave her.

"It's a bit far-fetched."

Winette followed Mao Lilan, smiled at the "father and son" who complained "really bad", and walked into the hell. The light outside the door was like a carpet, guiding tourists in.

This time, Winnett looked carefully and found that they were basically monster models created from some Gothic horror and mythology. She looked in the direction of Mao Lilan and suddenly saw a painting that she had not seen the last time she came in -

Curse.

"As for the title, Heaven's Punishment...it's said to be a work that depicts a knight of justice sealing off the devil." Mao Li Ran read the title.

Winnet came over to watch and murmured:

"I see."

"So, that's why he planned to do that..."

Mao Lilan saw Winnet talking to herself and expressed confusion, "Miss Winnet, what's wrong?"

She shook her head. "Nothing. It's just a beautiful work of art."

She turned her head and saw Boss Manaka nailed to the wall - like a devil in a painting.

"It's so beautiful," she said.

artwork.

The art that was separated from painting. Winnett was almost fanatical, she felt as if she was baptized by the extreme state of art. The scene created by Director Ochiai was like the final masterpiece of an art master before his death; she felt a chill and trembling on her back, numbness on the soles of her feet, and her whole body became nervous - all the killings she had done in the past - were not worth mentioning in front of this bloody scroll.

It's a pile of garbage.

And what was in front of her was real art, real beauty… The key point was that Director Ochiai had given his own ending, which made the meaning of the entire work complete and sublimated—it was no longer a monotonous killing and execution.

Finally, the dripping blood spot caught the attention of the three people, and they looked to the side -

Shinaka was nailed to the wall by a long sword, looking up with his mouth wide open. Fear was frozen in place, and his body drooped downwards like a hung rag doll. The blood was like a red curtain, adding to the background.

Mao Lilan screamed.

Winnet felt that the scream ruined the beauty and thought that a girl like Mao Lilan should not have been allowed in.

"It's Boss Manaka!" Conan shouted.

This puzzled Winnet. How could a primary school kid be so calm after seeing such a tragic corpse? Even the detective Maori Kogoro opened his mouth wide enough to fit a goose.

Little did she know, Conan was thinking the same thing—

Why wasn't Miss Moriarty afraid? Was it because she couldn't see clearly? But why didn't she ask?

Kogoro Mouri calmed down and asked Winette to take Ran Mouri out while he called the police.

The police response time was really fast.

Winnett calculated in her head that it would only be about seven minutes.

She thought again and understood the frustration and sadness of the Japanese police. No matter what case they were handling, there was always a detective on the scene, and if they wanted to solve the case, they would most likely have to rely on the detective.

The alarm bells kept ringing. When the police came in, Winette saw that it was Officer Megure in the orange jacket again.

Winnet had a sense of déjà vu. She seemed to have seen this combination three times. This police officer was present every time, and Kogoro Mouri also maintained a high appearance rate.

Their family is really unlucky.

After the police briefly understood the situation at the scene, they cordoned off the art gallery and gathered all the people on site in one place.

"Why you again?"

When Inspector Megure saw Maori Kogoro at the scene, he couldn't help but complain. The latter was completely unaware and saluted, "Yes, no one at the scene touched the body, Inspector."

Officer Megure walked towards Director Ochiai again, "So, have you seen the criminal?" Director Ochiai replied that he had already confirmed everyone; Iijima, who was in charge of the affairs inside the museum, looked up, pointed to the camera hanging high up, and told Megure:

"If I'm not mistaken, the security camera over there should have captured the whole process."

The group moved into the monitoring room, and after Iijima operated, the scene at 4:25 pm appeared on the screen.

Megure watched it and said, "The criminal is such an idiot. He didn't even know that he would be caught on camera." Everyone widened their eyes, ready to find out the murderer's true identity. As the video progressed, everyone saw the confused boss Manaka come to the center of the exhibition hall, and then the knight armor that looked like a decoration suddenly moved. It chopped vertically behind Manaka, then turned back and chopped upwards, grabbed Manaka's neck, and nailed him to the wall.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

"wait a minute."

“Where does this composition seem to be…”

“This is exactly like that painting!”

"That painting?" Megure was puzzled.

"This is exactly the same painting as the one at the murder scene, the one titled Divine Punishment."

While everyone was speechless, Winnet demonstrated her superb stealing skills - which she learned from a thief who had just been released from prison when she was a child; at the moment when Inspector Megure confirmed the time and everyone shifted their gaze, Winnet confirmed the position where Director Ochiai was holding the pen.

206 Reversal

When Winnet held him down, Conan's heart almost jumped out of his chest. For a moment, he thought that Kudo Shinichi's identity had been exposed, but the pastor in front of him should not be familiar with him. The mysterious words just now seemed to him like nonsense caused by alcohol. In addition, women's attitudes are changeable. He couldn't help but wonder if Winnet had the possibility of "two personalities".

Oh, and he had to go back to the scene of the crime to confirm his conclusion.

Conan smiled awkwardly, moved his butt against the wall, and started running after taking two or three steps away from Winnet. Winnet looked at Conan with a cold and suspicious look.

After hearing her absurd explanation, if she was really a time traveler, she should have been able to guess what she really wanted to say. Or, was she seen as a neurotic fanatic?

Winnet followed Conan back to the scene. She calmed down and continued with her original plan. She approached Director Ochiai and asked:

"Mr. Curator, can I borrow your ballpoint pen?"

"You want it?"

Director Ochiai knew that the girl standing in front of the armor and speaking was Winnet, so he felt very complicated and was not sure what Winnet really thought.

If you want a pen...

Director Ochiai thought about the situation at that time and sighed softly:

If the girl in front of him wanted to expose him, it would be very easy. With her intelligence, she would have 100% grasped the evidence.

He almost resigned himself to his fate and handed the ballpoint pen in his arms to Winnet.

It's not bad to turn yourself in like this, although Kubota hasn't been punished yet...

However, unlike what he expected, Winnet took the pen and made some simple drawings on the manual.

Lines like a child's scribbles.

Composition of a knight in armor walking out of the dawn, looking up at the sun.

"This is?"

Director Ochiai could tell Winnett's attainments in art from just a few brief strokes, but what concerned him more was the composition of the painting.

“There are different ways to repent, but facing the devil is not necessary.”

“Choices are not always the only ones.”

At this moment, the pen in Director Ochiai's hand was logically stained with her fingerprints. And the pen that belonged to Kubota had already been put into the other person's suit jacket when she passed by him.

She hated the idea of ​​evil and had no intention of following any rules.

Winnet walked to the painting of divine punishment, got closer and closer, and admired it again. She felt that even if the knight became like a demon, he could still restrain himself, and as a demon, he could still continue to kill demons.

“It’s both.”
