I travel through too many worlds at the same time

So, after walking around for so long, Conan was exhausted.

Just at this time, the cleaning reminder sign of the Hell Exhibition Hall disappeared.

"Great, the no-entry sign is gone. This Hell Hall is where the walking armor mentioned in the newspaper is. Let's go in and take a look."

Xiaolan said excitedly: "After we finish visiting this exhibition hall, we will go home."

No one has an opinion.

Even though Kogoro Mori wanted to say something, he knew to save face for his daughter in front of outsiders.

Everyone entered the Hell Exhibition Hall.

This place gives people a very gloomy feeling, just like the name of the exhibition hall.

Look around and see any sunshine.

Dark as hell.

In addition to various terrifying paintings hanging on the long corridor, there are also intact Western armors.

If a timid person comes here, he might be scared to death.

Xiaolan and Koizumi Hongzi were walking in front and saw a strange painting called "Heavenly Punishment". It showed a scene where a righteous knight killed a devil with one sword.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

There was a sound of water dripping.

Xiaolan looked back and found someone nailed to the wall, and the sound of dripping water was the sound of blood dripping on the ground.

"Ahhhh-"

A startling scream rang out.

Shiraishi subconsciously covered his ears. How many times had he heard a soprano?

Koizumi Hongzi was also scared to death.

As a witch, she appears to be a witch who has mastered red magic, but in fact she is just an ordinary female high school student.

Not to mention a dead body, she wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken or something.

This was the first time I saw a dead person today, and I was instantly shocked.

After Xiaolan screamed, Koizumi Hongzi also screamed.

The two women seemed to be competing to see who could scream louder.

The screams continued.

Kogoro Mouri reacted quickly, as befits a former detective who had just resigned. He called the police immediately and maintained the scene to prevent it from being disrupted by unrelated parties.

Shiraishi took this opportunity to comfort Koizumi Hongzi and deepen the witch's good impression of him.

Maybe we can have more scenes like this in the future.

It was just one consolation, not a deep impression. But if it happened more often, maybe the so-called idea of ​​the jockey destroying his ancestors could really come true.

……

The police arrived quickly, especially the police from Tokyo, or to narrow the scope, the police from Beikacho.

Because it is a criminal case, Kogoro Mouri's old boss has the opportunity to appear again.

When he saw that it was Maori Kogoro, Inspector Megure felt bad and subconsciously complained: "Why are you here again?"

"Hey, Officer Megure, don't worry. I have protected the scene and made sure no one has entered since we found the body."

Kogoro Mori saluted in a proper manner, but his attitude of speaking was still as inappropriate as ever.

Inspector Megure has absolutely no confidence in the abilities of this old subordinate.

I used to take him to handle cases, and he could always make simple cases complicated.

He had no credit at all in the last idol's murder in a closed room, so we can't count on him for this case.

Oh, by the way, Brother Shiraishi from last time is also here this time.

When Inspector Megure saw Shiraishi, he immediately became happy: "Brother Shiraishi, I'm counting on you this time."

Maori Kogoro was unhappy when he heard this: "Hey, Officer Megure, what do you mean? Am I not trustworthy?"

Inspector Megure ignored Kogoro Mouri and looked at the staff of the art museum.

In this case, the most likely scenario is that it was an internal crime committed by the museum staff; as for tourists or someone else, the possibility is not very high.

"Did you see the murderer?"

"It has been confirmed that no one has seen the murderer."

"We can put the camera in this direction, so we can see the murderer."

Shiraishi pointed to the security camera.

If the camera set up for the purpose of theft prevention fails to capture any picture, it can only mean that the murderer has tampered with the device.

Shiraishi was also clear about this case.

The old director of the art museum was furious because the museum was going to be sold, but the owner who bought it not only had no intention of maintaining it, but wanted to convert it into a hotel.

This old curator looked old, but he was surprisingly strong. He could wear armor weighing dozens of kilograms, pick up a big sword, and nail someone to the wall.

No normal person would believe that you are not possessed by ghosts or gods.

Shiraishi also suspected this, so he called Koizumi Akako to see if she had any discoveries in the field of mysticism.

Who knew that Miss Witch was useless?

Now that I see a dead person, I am actually trembling with fear.

Well, this is normal behavior.

This is in stark contrast to a naughty kid like Conan who was not afraid but excited when he saw a dead body.

……

monitoring room.

Everyone came to watch the surveillance video.

A strange man in armor appeared on the screen, raised a big sword and rushed towards the dead.

Before his death, the deceased left a message with a pen.

"The murderer is so stupid!"

Kogoro Mouri complained, thinking that the murderer was too stupid to leave a message after killing someone. In such a case, why would a detective like him need to take action?

"Officer Megure, as long as we examine the information left by the deceased, we will know the identity of the murderer."

"Go and read the messages left by the dead."

When Inspector Megure got the note left by the deceased, the name "Kubota" was clearly written on it.

This "Kubota" is a staff member of the art museum. He has a hobby of gambling and even stole artworks from the museum in order to raise money for gambling.

Later, the armor used in the crime was found in his room.

The evidence is conclusive, he is the murderer!

Conan found it strange and thought the truth was not that simple.

Just when he was thinking about watching the video tape again, Shiraishi started to steal the show.

It’s really not that Shiraishi wants to show off in front of Conan.

There’s no sense of accomplishment from bullying elementary school students, but… it feels good.

"Ahem... the murderer is not Mr. Kubota."

Shiraishi coughed twice, attracted everyone's attention, and then began to show off: "The murderer who killed Boss Manaka is..."

"Director Ochiai!"

"That's right, the murderer is Director Ochiai."

Amid everyone's surprised expressions, Shiraishi felt the fun of pretending to be cool. No wonder Conan likes to be a detective.

It was really cool to see everyone so surprised.

"Brother Shiraishi, are you mistaken? The evidence is irrefutable. If the murderer is not Kubota, then who is it?"

Inspector Megure is now beginning to suspect his new brother.

But out of trust in his younger brother, he decided to give him a chance to see how he reasoned.

What if he was wrong?

However, in a case like this with solid evidence, I don't think there will be any unexpected problems.

"Director Ochiai, when everyone was going from the exhibition hall to the monitoring room just now, I saw you squatting next to the armor, right?"

Shiraishi turned to look at Director Ochiai and said in a flat tone, "Excuse me, what are you doing?"

"I was just tying my shoes."

Director Ochiai's heart trembled, but he still tried his best to disguise himself and gave an answer.

However, after he said this, everyone looked at him strangely.

If you want to tie your shoelaces, you also need shoelaces.

But Director Ochiai was wearing leather shoes without laces today.

This is undoubtedly a lie!

"Director Ochiai, could you please explain? Why did you lie?"

Inspector Megure looked at Director Ochiai with suspicion and felt sorry for doubting his new brother.

A younger brother is a younger brother, and he is quite reliable.

If it were him, he would have wrongly accused someone today.

"This……"

In response to Inspector Megure's questioning, Director Ochiai's eyes widened and his hands began to tremble as if he had Parkinson's disease.

Although there are a hundred explanations, he still doesn't dare to explain it casually. What if he says something wrong again?

"Since Director Ochiai can't speak, I'll speak for him."

Shiraishi took out a ballpoint pen wrapped in a handkerchief and said, "You put the ballpoint pen on the ground, and then picked up the things that were on the ground."

"I think it's also a ballpoint pen, but it can't be used to write."

"And the death message left by the deceased was also written by you in advance. The evidence is the scratches left by the deceased on the paper. As long as you use a pencil to blacken it, you can naturally see the original death message left by the deceased."

"Of course, this is more troublesome. You can also look at Director Ochiai's body. There should be a ballpoint pen that can't write."

Shiraishi's slow words left Director Ochiai with no way to refute.

With the evidence conclusive, Director Ochiai finally pleaded guilty, raised his head proudly, and explained his motives for the crime.

It turned out that it was the plan of Mr. Manaka to transform the art museum into a hotel that inspired Director Ochiai, who had run the art museum for decades, to kill him.

In his eyes, the art museum is sacred and is his own child. He will not allow a "devil" like Boss Manaka to interfere.

As for why they put the blame on Kubota, it was because Kubota had been caught by the curator before for stealing artworks from the museum, and he knelt down and begged for mercy, so the curator softened his heart and did not call the police.

But afterwards, Director Ochiai discovered that he still had not repented and was treating the artworks in the museum roughly, and that artworks in the museum had been lost again recently.

So this time, Director Ochiai decided to punish him in his own way.

In the mind of Director Ochiai, Kubota, who stole and sold artworks, is also a "devil" who needs to be punished by him, the knight of justice.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure ordered his two men nearby to restrain Kubota.

"Mr. Kubota, you are under arrest for theft."
