Firstly, the idea of ​​induction is too vague. Secondly, Ye Qiuxin also has enough motives to kill. The most bizarre thing is - how did you, Ye Qiuxin, know about the murder without entering the scene and let Okino Yoko call the police?

Unless you already knew someone had died here...

The suspicion in their hearts grew deeper.

Ye Qiuxin shrugged helplessly. He knew that the detective's habit of suspecting everyone he saw had come back again.

But it’s no wonder. If there were bystanders, they would probably think that the person who said these words was the murderer.

Ye Qiuxin snorted, squatted down and pinched Conan's face, kneading it like dough, "I did say these words, but I'm sorry, little Conan, I disappoint you.

“It’s true that I had a motive, but I didn’t have the time.

"Because I was with Ms. Yoko and Mr. Iijima the whole time at the museum, they will prove it for me."

Conan looked at Ye Qiuxin resentfully.

You can defend yourself if you want, but why are you pulling my face? How can you bully a young boy like that? Will my face get swollen?

But he still tried to look in the direction of Iijima Kazuya, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Mr. Iijima, is this true?" asked Kogoro Mori.

"Yes." Iijima Kazuya said seriously, "The three of us were together the whole time, and we have a complete alibi. If you suspect that I gave false testimony for Master Qiu Xin, you can check the surveillance video here." He pointed in the direction of the exhibition hall, "Every exhibition hall has surveillance."

"Is there a surveillance camera?" Maori Kogoro also looked over and saw that the camera was facing the crime scene. He said thankfully, "That's great. The murderer must have filmed it."

"Look, I'm really not the murderer." Ye Qiuxin patted Conan's head, stood up, and without looking at Conan again, he stared straight at the oil painting. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

This painting...I must get it!

Chapter 25 The Owner of Heavenly Punishment

Ye Qiuxin made a rough analysis.

This painting, titled Heavenly Punishment, has a certain confusing and hallucinogenic effect.

The murderer was influenced by the heavenly punishment and killed Boss Manaka, and the blessing and disaster were transferred to the painting along with the dark world energy from the heavenly punishment, and gradually dissipated not long ago.

Then there appeared a scene where Ye Qiuxin sensed that the interdependence of blessing and disaster was severed.

In fact, Boss Manaka had died long before.

Although this painting indirectly caused the death of someone, Ye Qiuxin was still determined to take it. He did not have any moral cleanliness. Besides, he could see that the bewitching effect of the heavenly punishment was not strong and did not play a decisive role in affecting the mind.

The murderer wanted to kill from the beginning.

Moreover, in this Dharma-Ending Age, it is extremely difficult to come across a magical instrument that is still functional and undamaged.

He is a Yin-Yang Master, not a weapon refiner. It is not easy for him to see a magic weapon, so he naturally cannot let it go.

Some time later, the police arrived at the art gallery.

Inspector Megure led a group of police officers into the Hell Room and looked at Maori Kogoro and Ye Qiuxin with an extremely speechless expression, "Brother Maori, brother Qiuxin, we meet again."

Ye Qiuxin is not so bad, I have only met her three times in recent times.

But Maori Kogoro...

Inspector Megure just wants to say 'How old are you', why is it always you?

If you continue like this, our Metropolitan Police Department will simply dispatch a police officer to track your movements at all times, so you don't have to go through the trouble of calling the police.

"Yes." Maori Kogoro saluted proudly, "During this period, no one entered the scene. And Inspector Megure, the surveillance video here may have captured the murderer, but since the police have not arrived, it is inconvenient for us to retrieve it."

"Well, let's do this." Inspector Megure turned around and instructed the police officers, "Some of the police officers will go to identify the body first and confirm his identity, and the other police officers will summon the people involved in the case and bring them directly to... the monitoring room."

He added: "Brother Maoli, Brother Qiuxin, you two should come along as well."

"Me?" Ye Qiuxin was stunned. Why did he think of me when he mentioned the case? I really am not good at reasoning.

But after hesitating for a while, he nodded and followed them to the monitoring room. He thought that Director Ochiai would probably be taken there as well, and then he would ask who the owner of the painting [Heavenly Punishment] was, and then ask for the price to buy it!

Yes, buy it.

There is a problem involved here.

The Medieval Art Museum is indeed his, and no one can stop him from demolishing or destroying it. But the artworks inside are not his, and he cannot just move any one he likes to his home.

The nameplate under the work shows the source of the work.

Some were loaned and donated by private collectors, and some were retrieved from other exhibition halls.

But God's punishment...

Ye Qiuxin only saw the title of the work and the background introduction, and after looking for a long time he couldn't find out who the owner of the work was.

So I decided to ask Director Ochiai. It would be ridiculous for a squinty-eyed old man who has been working on the front line since the museum opened to not know the details of a single work.

As long as the other party is willing to offer, Ye Qiuxin dares to buy it!

A group of people walked into the monitoring room.

As soon as Maori Kogoro entered the room, he shouted: "This murderer is really stupid. He didn't even know there were surveillance cameras. If we just checked the surveillance, we could have caught him right away! Come on, murderer! Let me see your face clearly!"

Inspector Megure ignored this funny guy and turned around to signal the police to check the surveillance footage.

"Inspector, the two people of interest have been brought here." A police officer stood at the door, with Director Ochiai and clerk Kubota Yuji standing beside him.

"Okay, both of you please take a look at the surveillance footage," said Inspector Megure.

Ye Qiuxin also looked at the two of them, mainly at Director Ochiai, who was as calm and kind as usual. Then his gaze unconsciously shifted to Kubota Yuji, and he suddenly fell silent.

Oh my god, it turns out to be you, kid.

Ye Qiuxin’s Yin-Yang eyes were never closed, so he could tell at a glance who was possessed by evil spirits or ghosts.

Judging from the level of negative energy that Kubota Yuji has, he must be the murderer who killed Boss Manaka!

"Captain, the equipment has been adjusted." said the police officer in charge of adjusting the surveillance.

"Play it." Inspector Megure ordered.

Kogoro Mouri and a group of police officers stared at the monitor intently, and Conan appeared out of nowhere and watched intently.

A picture appeared on the monitor, which was an exhibition hall between hells. The time in the lower right corner showed 4:25 p.m. Boss Manaka came and wandered around the armor, glancing at his watch from time to time, as if waiting for something.

The next second, the neatly arranged armor suddenly jumped up, like a living person, raised the sword in his hand and chopped down fiercely.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement.

The armor then continued to attack, and after only two or three moves, he grabbed Boss Manaka's neck, lifted him up, and inserted the sword straight into his chest. The bloody scene made the experienced Kogoro Mori and Inspector Megure close one eye.

Conan was still standing there, staring with his big eyes.

Inspector Megure pressed the pause button, and the screen froze on the scene where the man in armor turned his back and walked away.

"Wait..." Conan couldn't help but lean forward and recall carefully, "This composition... is exactly the same as that painting!"

Ye Qiuxin didn't watch the surveillance video much, he just glanced at the frozen images a few times.

He already knew who the murderer was, so he didn't bother to care about the incident. Besides, he was not a psychopath and had no interest in observing the scene of a tragic death of a human being.

But Conan's last move almost made him lose control.

You don't even plan to install a washing machine...

Then Ye Qiuxin glanced at Kubota Yushi, who was cowering and inconspicuous in the crowd, like a transparent man. I didn't expect that you are so artistic in killing people.

But he didn't intend to say much.

The murder happened in his own art gallery, and it was close to the opening day. The identity of the deceased, the owner of the art gallery, was also rather special, which did have some impact on Ye Qiuxin.

But now... God's punishment is more important!

Ye Qiuxin quietly walked to the side of Director Ochiai and asked in a low voice: "Director Ochiai, I have something to ask you. Do you know who the owner of Heavenly Punishment is? I am interested in purchasing this work. Please introduce it to me."

"Oh?" Director Ochiai opened one of his narrowed eyes, his sharp gaze was cold, "I didn't expect that Master Qiu Xin would be interested in the Heavenly Punishment?"

"Yes, I'm very interested, very interested." Ye Qiuxin smiled and admitted openly, "I don't know what Japan and the West say, but in China, we look at things based on our eye for quality. The moment we see something, we realize that we have to have it.

“Heavenly Punishment is a work that suits my eyes.

“I can promise that I will cherish her and give her better care and maintenance in my home than in an art gallery.”

Ye Qiuxin said this very seriously. In the Dharma Ending Age, if the magic tools are not maintained regularly, they will gradually lose their effects and turn into ordinary works without any abilities.

The divine punishment will really last longer in his hands than if it were preserved in an art museum.

“Hahaha…” Director Ochiai laughed a few times, quite appreciatively, “I agree with the idea of ​​chemistry. Just like what you said, Master Qiu Xin, there have been many times when I have had the mentality that I must have him.”

After a long while, he nodded slightly, as if he was making some kind of decision, and then slowly uttered a sentence, "Tian Fa is my most precious child..."

"What you mean is..." Ye Qiuxin realized something.

"Yes." Director Ochiai looked straight at him, "To be honest, the owner of the Heavenly Punishment is none other than me."

Chapter 26 Solve the case quickly?

Ye Qiuxin’s eyes widened.

If Director Ochiai is the owner of Heaven's Punishment, then doesn't that mean he is also the owner of Heaven's Punishment?

Ye Qiuxin hurriedly said, "Director Luohe, please give me a price."

"No, I'm not bidding." Director Ochiai shook his head.

However, before Ye Qiuxin could ask why, Director Ochiai spoke again slowly: "You have been very kind to me and the museum, and Tianfa is also my most cherished child. Measuring it with money would only tarnish these two feelings."

Ye Qiuxin let go of the worry that had been lifted up in his heart.

Looking at Director Ochiai's attitude, he might be going to give him the Heavenly Punishment. Really, when Director Ochiai said that he would not bid, he was really scared. He thought that the other party was not going to sell it at all.

"As long as you help me catch the murderer of this case, I can give you the heavenly punishment." Director Ochiai made a promise.

Ye Qiuxin took a breath of cold air.

He knew exactly who the murderer was. In other words, he could get the magical weapon of Heavenly Punishment for free. This was more than just pie in the sky, it was a gold brick falling from the sky. It was a huge bargain!

"Is that true?" he asked again and again.

"It's true!" Director Ochiai said firmly.

Ye Qiuxin immediately turned around and walked towards Uncle Maori and Inspector Megure, who had already determined that the murderer came from inside the art museum, and walked over with his head held high, "No need to think about it anymore, Inspector Megure, Detective Maori, I know who the murderer is!"
