In Conan, the shrine is inherited

"This is really... Alas..." Inspector Megure looked at the two of them helplessly, feeling a little embarrassed. Kogoro Mouri was his old subordinate and also their old friend for many years. He was more inclined to the theory that Director Ochiai was the murderer.

But he also didn't want his relationship with Ye Qiuxin to become too strained.

If we forcefully invite Director Ochiai to visit the Metropolitan Police Department, it would definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Kubota Yuji suddenly spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "Director Ochiai, I never dreamed that the person who killed Mr. Manaka and framed him on me would be you... But I should have guessed it earlier. Maybe you hated me when I resold my first piece of art.

"You should plead guilty as soon as possible and try to get leniency..."

"Don't fucking talk bullshit to me." Ye Qiuxin interrupted angrily, "Detective Mori was deceived by you, so I argued with him again and again, but how do you, the real murderer, have the nerve to say this? If you insist on putting the blame on Director Ochiai, fine, then I have to ask you, how much has Director Ochiai done this year..." Ye Qiuxin was stuck.

"Sixty-seven years old." Director Ochiai naturally continued.

"Director Ochiai is already 67 years old this year." Ye Qiuxin was extremely calm, "If he is really the murderer, how on earth could he be able to lift up a relatively fat adult male like Boss Manaka by pinching his neck?

"This is the most obvious point of doubt. How can you make me believe that an old man has such great strength?"

In fact, Ye Qiuxin believed it.

He knew that Director Ochiai was an old kung fu master. With his squinty eyes, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. He was extremely strong and even a young man like him could not compare to him.

With the bonus of the Heavenly Punishment Knight, lifting the real boss is easy.

But others don't know.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mori, Inspector Megure and others immediately fell into thought again. If they thought from this perspective, the possibility that Director Ochiai was the murderer was greatly reduced. They also did not believe that an old man could be stronger than a young man.

But in this case, who is the murderer?

In the corner, Conan touched his chin, his eyes shifting between Ochiai Tamio and Kubota Yuji. When he saw the scratches on the note, he had a clear idea in his mind about who the murderer was.

The murderer's strange pause before killing Boss Manaka was not a threat as Uncle Maori said.

Instead, you should tell him that the murderer's name is written on the note next to him.

Boss Manaka opened it and saw that the name on it was actually Mr. Kubota. He knew who the real murderer was through voice or the murderer himself telling him, so he hurriedly took out a ballpoint pen and tried to change the wrong name.

But the ballpoint pen has no ink.

In a rage, Boss Manaka threw the pen away, crumpled the note and hid it in his hand, hoping to imply that the death message was useless.

But everything he did was in vain.

Because the murderer's real purpose was to make Boss Manaka leave traces of what he had scribbled on the note in the surveillance video, which is why the murderer committed the crime in a scene facing the camera.

Then the murderer is Director Ochiai, who hates both Boss Manaka and Mr. Kubota.

but……

Now, Conan had no choice but to believe what Ye Qiuxin said.

At that time, Director Ochiai took out a ballpoint pen and wrote naturally on the notebook.

Would the murderer do such a thing? It would be more appropriate to stop before writing, because the murderer knew that the ballpoint pen had no ink and could not write. As long as he left a scratch without ink on the notebook, it would prove his identity as the murderer.

But Director Ochiai didn't, he was completely unaware of it.

So Kubota Yuji is really the murderer, and the ballpoint pen without ink is just a means to frame Director Ochiai.

Conan had a sullen face.

In this one-sided confrontation with Ye Qiuxin, he was completely defeated.

Chapter 30 The Knight of Justice

"There is one more thing," Ye Qiuxin's thoughts became clearer and clearer despite his anger, and he pressed Kubota Yuji step by step, "Little Conan just said there were scratches on the paper, but he didn't say what the scratches were, and you directly pointed out that the scratches came from a ballpoint pen without ink.

"Yushi Kubota, how did you come to this conclusion when you haven't observed the note closely?"

After hearing this, Kubota Yuji was speechless. This was indeed a loophole in his plan.

"There is indeed a problem." Inspector Megure was also emotional. Originally everyone agreed that Kubota Yuji was the murderer, but with the key evidence that the ballpoint pen had no ink, the situation suddenly turned around.

But now... the scratch statement is also very suspicious, and there is one more suspicion that Kubota Yuji is the murderer.

Who is the murderer?

"Brother Mori, what do you think?" Inspector Megure asked in a low voice.

"The murderer... the murderer... um..." Maori Kogoro was in a dilemma, unable to put his finger on the reason. This case was becoming more and more difficult to handle. If he hadn't considered his honor as a criminal policeman and his current identity as a detective, he would have wanted to leave long ago. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say one sentence, "Anyway, it's between Director Ochiai and Mr. Kubota, there's no doubt about it!"

Inspector Megure was speechless. Isn't this just nonsense? Do you need to say more?

Conan crouched in the corner, staring at the troubled Mouri Kogoro.

Although he was very unwilling to lose to Ye Qiuxin, being misled by the murderer and making mistakes in reasoning also left a mark of shame in his heart.

But now Director Ochiai has been framed as the murderer, and he has his reasons, so we must work hard to save the situation.

Conan looked down at the watch tied to his wrist.

This is the "weapon" made for him by Dr. Agasa. There is an anesthetic needle hidden inside. Before, since he was unable to explain his reasoning himself, he could only kick Kogoro Mori unconscious and perform a double act.

The error is very large, and it is easy to kick someone to death if you are not careful.

Now, with the help of the anesthetic needle, Uncle Maori doesn’t need to wake up with a headache and can just have a comfortable sleep.

Sorry, Uncle Maori.

Conan opened the sight, aimed the crosshairs at the back of Kogoro Mouri's neck, pressed the button, and a tiny, undetectable anesthetic needle shot out and hit the target.

"Hmm... why do I feel a little dizzy..." Kogoro Mouri covered the back of his neck, his eyelids drooped, and he staggered back two steps.

"Hey, Mori..." Inspector Megure saw that something was not right and subconsciously wanted to help him, but he failed. He watched Kogoro Mori back away step by step, sit on the chair, and lower his head and hunch his chest.

Everyone present was stunned. What was going on?

We were all waiting for your reasoning, why do you suddenly seem to have fallen asleep?

The others didn't know what was going on, but Ye Qiuxin knew it very clearly. He knew at a glance that Uncle Maori was knocked unconscious by Conan.

This also means that Conan has found evidence of who the real murderer is and is about to tell his reasoning.

Ye Qiuxin was more confident, "Kubota Yushi, your method of framing others is actually quite simple. Director Ochiai is the director of this art museum, and you are an employee of the museum. It is not difficult to find the note with your name on it.

"And the deceased identified the murderer as Director Ochiai. It could be that you used a voice changer, or you recorded Director Ochiai's normal voice and edited it. In an extreme case, you could even be a master of voice skills.

“These are all possible!”

Conan nodded silently, what Ye Qiuxin said made sense.

He himself holds a voice changer in his hand, but Ye Qiuxin's statements are still just random guesses. There is no substantial evidence, so he still has to rely on him.

Conan confidently raised the bow voice changer in his hand and was about to speak.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Yuji Kubota's expression suddenly became painful, and he felt waves of burning pain in his abdomen. Then, a crackling sound came from his clothes pocket, and a faint smoke emanated.

Everyone turned their eyes over there.

I saw Yuji Kubota hurriedly taking out the things in his pocket and throwing them on the ground subconsciously. The burnt smell filled the small monitoring room.

Looking closely, I saw that there was a small recorder on the ground, with flashes of lightning and sparks appearing from time to time.

It seems to be broken.

Kubota gradually woke up from his panic and quickly bent down to pick up the recorder to cover up his crime. However, the next second, the recorder played a sporadic voice: "Makata... Boss, look... look at the note... beside you..."

After hearing this voice message, Director Ochiai's eyes showed some hesitation.

Was it at that time?

Everyone turned their eyes to Kubota Yuji in surprise. The previous evidence and the case were confusing. Some people thought that the murderer was Director Ochiai, while others thought it was Kubota Yuji.

But if they don't understand it now, they would be fools.

Yuji Kubota used the words in the recorder to make the deceased believe that the murderer was Director Ochiai!

"No, it's impossible..." Kubota Yuji knew that there was no hope of defending himself, and he stood there in despair. The malfunctioning recorder had undoubtedly sentenced him to death.

"Mr. Kubota, what is going on?" Inspector Megure shouted in surprise.

"How should I know?!" Kubota Yuji's spirit was like a broken string, and he yelled in despair, "I clearly threw away the recorder, how the hell did it end up in my pocket! And it broke and played the recording?"

Others were also stunned when they heard it.

It turns out that you are extremely confident. They thought that Yuji Kubota felt that his plan was flawless, so he didn't bother to deal with the recorder. It turned out that you did deal with it, but you didn't get rid of it.

That would have been fine, but the key point was that the recorder broke down inexplicably, and the recording was played by accident...

It's so unlucky.

What kind of luck is this?

Ye Qiuxin was also a little surprised to hear about Kubota Yushi's experience. He opened his Yin-Yang eyes and pondered for a while before he figured out what was going on. After figuring it out, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "So that's it... It's a punishment from heaven."

When Kubota Yuji killed Boss Manaka, not only did the main body of fortune and misfortune shift to heaven's punishment, but part of the bad luck also shifted to him.

Ye Qiuxin had not been able to sense this before.

Heavenly punishment is a magical instrument that can rely on its own power to dissipate the energy of blessing and disaster.

But at best, Kubota Yuji was just influenced by the devil. In the final analysis, he was still an ordinary person. He had no ability to resolve the relationship between good and bad fortune, so the bad luck naturally remained, and a series of unfortunate events occurred.

This is really... evil will be punished.

"Mr. Kubota, are you admitting your guilt?" Ye Qiuxin asked with a smile.

"Do you think I still have a chance to turn the tables, Master Akishino?" Kubota Yuji was in low spirits. The police around him had already handcuffed him. "I only have one question. Why did you insist that I was the murderer from the beginning? You only met Director Ochiai today. I don't believe in your interests or emotions. So why..."

"There's no reason. The deceased told me this." Ye Qiuxin still said the same thing. You can think whatever you want. That's what I said anyway.

"The dead? Maybe that's really possible." Kubota Yuji changed the subject, "But Director Ochiai is not innocent either. He also wants to kill Boss Manaka. He used the armor to hide, and the note with my name on it was all taken from Director Ochiai! The haunted incident in the art museum was the foreshadowing of his plan!

“The recording of the note that I showed to Boss Manaka was also secretly recorded by me when Director Ochiai was rehearsing the murder plan.

"What I said is true, you can go check it out, you can go check it out, believe me!"

This time, Ye Qiuxin didn't need to say anything, Inspector Megure signaled his men to quickly escort Kubota Yuji away.

No one would believe the murderer's collapsed shouting before leaving. Only Ye Qiuxin believed that what Kubota Yuji said was true. Director Ochiai really carried out the murder plan, but gave up at the last minute.

It seems to have ended successfully.

Only one person has no tears to cry.
