Even the impact was deeper than that on Yuji Kubota.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it seemed natural. If the devil appeared, then the knight should also appear.

And it seems that Director Ochiai also had murderous intentions towards Boss Manaka, and was only one step away from carrying out his murder plan, but because he bought the art museum, his murderous intent dissipated prematurely.

Ye Qiu was filled with sighs.

It's just one step away. Given Director Ochiai's age, if he killed someone under the influence of heaven's punishment, he wouldn't have to die within ten years. Ten days would be enough.

Ye Qiu felt a little scared.

Please don't let anything happen to you, old man. I'm waiting for you to punish me.

At this juncture, we can only wait and see what happens.

In the monitoring room, Kogoro Mori and Yuji Kubota were still arguing.

Conan rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Qiuxin. He felt that he could not count on him this time and had to rely on himself. So he walked to Inspector Megure and jumped. A note appeared in his hand with the words "Kuda" written on it.

The handwriting is neat, vigorous and powerful, with an artistic style.

Conan observed carefully and soon discovered something was wrong.

Hmm... that's a bit strange.

He held the note up to the ceiling light.

The strangeness suddenly became clear.

This is... a scratch!

Scratches from a pen without ink!

Chapter 28 Thank you, little ghost!

Conan smiled, feeling smug about finding a new clue. If the situation was the same as he expected, then whether Mr. Kubota was the murderer was another matter...

Ye Qiuxin, just expect to be defeated by me this time!

Conan put down the note, and then saw Maori Kogoro's furious face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, uncle, I..."

"Brat!" The iron fist fell.

A big red bump appeared on Conan's head and he looked unhappy. Haha, he was used to being beaten by Uncle Maori.

Maori Kogoro snatched the note and said, "It's true. It's ok that he doesn't listen normally, but why is he making trouble now? This is the key evidence, you know? What if you break it? Lan, keep an eye on him!"

Ran Mao Li caught Conan like a chick and held him in her arms.

Maori Kogoro straightened his collar and continued to argue with Kubota Yuji: "Mr. Kubota, it's not too late for you to plead guilty now."

"Mr. Maori, I won't argue with you." Kubota Yuji said calmly, "In fact, when I was checking the surveillance, I noticed a suspicious point, but there were detectives and police on the scene, so I didn't think I needed to say it.

"But now I feel I must speak out.

"Because if I continue, I will be slandered as a murderer for no reason."

"Hmph, you are the murderer!" Kogoro Mori snorted disdainfully.

"Okay, I'm the murderer." Kubota Yuji changed the subject, "Then please explain to me, Detective Maori, why did Mr. Manaka throw the pen away when he wrote my name, why did he hold the paper in his hand in a ball, and what about the obvious pause of the armor before killing?

"As long as you can explain this clearly, I will plead guilty!"

Ye Qiuxin was thinking secretly in his heart when he heard this.

Kubota Yuji acted so confidently and asked a series of questions. Could it be that the secret trick was hidden here? He had not seen the evidence note, so he naturally did not know the trap left by Kubota Yuji.

"Ha, isn't this simple?" Maori Kogoro laughed and explained casually, "Boss Manaka threw the pen away because he was very angry or scared. It was an excited action he made subconsciously. There is no need to explain why he hid the note in his hand. It must be to avoid the murderer from finding it.

"As for the pause, it must be the murderer making threats."

Inspector Megure nodded secretly, "Mr. Kubota, can you come with us?"

Kubota Yuji was stunned, his eyes widened in shock.

A normal detective shouldn't fall into silence when faced with the questions I asked, not knowing how to answer. Why the hell don't you play by the rules?

And you, Inspector Megure, this is obviously nonsense reasoning, why did you believe it?

It’s dark. It’s so damn dark!

No wonder you need Kudo Shinichi to be your savior.

"Uncle Maori, I just noticed that there seemed to be scratches on the note." Conan suddenly spoke.

After hearing this, Yushi Kubota almost burst into tears and looked at Conan with gratitude.

Finally someone discovered it!

Thank you, kid! After the incident is over, uncle will buy you a lot of snacks!

"Nonsense, of course there are scratches on the words written by Boss Manaka." Kogoro Mouri turned around angrily, but because Conan was in his daughter's arms, it was inconvenient for him to do anything.

"Detective Mori, I guess what this kid wants to say is that there are other traces on the note besides my name." Kubota Yuji's brows twitched. If he let Kogoro Mori continue talking, all his arrangements would be in vain.

Is this guy unwilling to use his brain at all?

"Other traces?" Kogoro Mouri hesitantly held the note up to the light. It was true. There were many random lines on the word "Kubota", as if a ballpoint pen could not write out ink.

Maori Kogoro fell into deep thought, "Mr. Kubota, you may not really be the murderer."

"It's nothing, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved." Kubota Yuji smiled indifferently.

Inspector Megure also came over and saw the abnormality on the note. He called a police officer over and said, "Send the note for handwriting identification immediately!"

"That's not necessary, Inspector Megure." Kubota Yuji stopped him, "I want to make a statement about the crime of reselling artworks later, and I hope to end this murder case as soon as possible, so there is a small solution. The ballpoint pen that Mr. Manaka used at the time has run out of ink.

"In this case, the murderer must have hidden the ballpoint pen. Now we only need to test the ballpoint pen in our hand to quickly identify the criminal.

"I see that the pen in the surveillance camera seems to be a souvenir from our art gallery. All we need is for our staff to do the test. It's convenient and simple."

"That's right." Inspector Megure nodded and listened to the suggestion. "Then let's do as you said, Mr. Kubota. But handwriting identification is our procedure, and we will definitely send it for verification."

If Mr. Ye still didn't understand what Yuji Kubota was trying to do after hearing this, then he would be a fool.

The empty handwriting on the note was deliberately arranged by Yuji Kubota in order to lead the situation to the current scene. If his ballpoint pen can write ink, it will prove that he is not the murderer.

The two words "Kubota" on the note were deliberately framed by someone else.

And whoever's ballpoint pen can't write, that person is the murderer!

All of this is Yuji Kubota's way of getting rid of suspicion.

"Let me go first." Yuji Kubota took out his ballpoint pen from his pocket and wrote and drew on the notebook. The ballpoint pen wrote smoothly, leaving behind lines of black ink.

"There is ink." said Kogoro Mori, holding up the notebook to show everyone.

Conan also broke free from Mao Lilan's arms, came closer to take a look, feeling quite proud, and winked at Ye Qiuxin.

Since Kubota Yuji's pen can write, it means he is not the murderer.

He won this round!

Ye Qiuxin ignored Conan.

His attention was all on the notebook. There really was ink in it. So where did Yuji Kubota put the ballpoint pen without ink?

Could it be that……

Ye Qiuxin turned his gaze to Director Ochiai.

"Director Ochiai, please come over and take the test as well." Inspector Megure called out. There were many people still left in the art museum, but only Director Ochiai and Kubota Yuji had a motive and no alibi.

"Okay." Director Ochiai walked over slowly and took out a ballpoint pen from his jacket pocket.

Conan's brows furrowed instantly.

its not right……

Director Ochiai placed the ball of the pen on the paper and wanted to write, but the next second, no ink appeared. He thought it was just an accident, a small problem, so he increased the strength and writing amplitude, but the words still did not appear.

Inspector Megure, who was standing next to him, turned serious.

Director Ochiai subconsciously froze in place.

Maori Kogoro said in a deep voice: "Your pen can't write ink, Director Ochiai."

Chapter 29 Kung Fu Old Man

"Director Ochiai, it turns out you are the murderer!" Kubota Yuji shouted in surprise.

"No, I'm not, and I don't know why my ballpoint pen has no ink..." Director Ochiai looked puzzled. He put down the ballpoint pen, shook his head, and looked at Kubota Yuji deeply.

Both of them were affected by the divine punishment and became knight and devil to each other.

As a demon, Yuji Kubota felt a strong fear in his heart just by being stared at by the knight. He didn't dare to look directly into the other's eyes and kept silent.

Director Ochiai said nothing.

He still had his sanity and knew that all his hopes rested on Ye Qiuxin.

"Director Ochiai is definitely not the murderer!" Ye Qiuxin stood up resolutely, pointed his finger very impolitely, and called him by his name, "Kubota Yuji, I understand what you are planning. First, you let everyone suspect that you are the murderer, and then secretly frame Director Ochiai. Your identity suddenly changed, and you cleared yourself of suspicion in an instant.

"What a thrilling and exciting method, huh..."

Since this is a matter of divine punishment, nothing can happen to Director Ochiai. Even if he is really the murderer today, he cannot be taken away by the police, not to mention that he is innocent to begin with!

"Akishin, the situation is very clear. The case is moving towards evidence." Maori Kogoro changed his position very smoothly. "Many of us heard that Boss Manaka threatened to stop the art museum from opening. And Director Ochiai wanted to kill him at this time. He went back to his room to rest under the pretext of feeling unwell, but in fact he invited the deceased to come over and killed him in his armor."

"I deny what you said, Detective Maori." Ye Qiuxin retorted, "To be honest, after Boss Manaka left, I made my attitude clear to Miss Yoko. I didn't take Boss Manaka's threats seriously at all. The art gallery will definitely open, and he will be the one who will be in trouble!

"In that case, what motive did Director Ochiai have to kill Boss Manaka?"

"You've already said it, you only told Miss Yoko about this." Maori Kogoro said as a matter of course, "But Director Ochiai doesn't know your attitude!"

The door of the monitoring room was opened again, and the police officer in charge of handwriting identification came back: "Inspector Megure, we compared Director Ochiai's handwriting with the words on the note... The results are almost completely consistent. These two words came from Director Ochiai's hand!"

"Look, look!" Maori Kogoro pointed at the appraisal report and stared at Ye Qiuxin. The scene seemed familiar. "Qixin, the most crucial evidence has come out! The murderer has been determined!"

Ye Qiu sighed dejectedly and felt tired.

My God, what kind of person can serve Uncle Maori? At this moment, he expressed deep respect for Conan in his heart. He almost fainted from anger after speaking a few words to Uncle Maori.

And this little kid can actually guide Uncle Maori's reasoning, which is really awesome.
