The Great Villain from Conan

Baili Jing and the others looked in the direction where the water dripping sound came from, and saw Boss Zhenzhong, covered in blood, with a long sword piercing his chest and nailed to the wall.

Blood flowed down the blade of the sword and continuously dripped to the feet of the corpse, forming a pool of blood.

"what--"

Ran Mao Li, who was already nervous, couldn't help but let out a shrill scream when she suddenly saw such an exciting scene.

"Wow-wow-wow-wow-"

Accompanied by a burst of rapid alarm bells, Officer Megure, who received the emergency call from the art museum, quickly rushed over with his men.

While Inspector Megure and his colleagues were busy investigating the case, Baili Jing had someone spread the news that boss Manaka had been murdered and began to fleece the Manaka Group.

"I understand!"

Conan, who had collected enough clues, had a strange white light flash across his glasses and locked his eyes on Director Ochiai.

Just as Conan was about to use the anesthetic watch to knock down Mouri Kogoro, he remembered that Mouri Kogoro did not follow him.

"Since uncle is not here, then we can only..."

Conan raised a wicked smile, sneaked behind the mirror, and aimed the anesthetic watch at his neck.

Let you poach my people!

Just as Baili Jing was about to be knocked down, a big hand suddenly appeared and blocked the tiny anesthetic needle with its palm.

!!!

Conan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked in the direction where the big hand came from, only to see that the owner of the big hand was the burly Arnold.

Under Conan's incredulous gaze, Arnold pulled out the anesthetic needle expressionlessly and threw it to the ground.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Fuck! Is this guy still human?"

Under normal circumstances, no matter how strong Arnold's body is, he would definitely feel dizzy after being hit by the anesthetic needle made by Dr. Agasa, and he would not be completely unresponsive.

After finishing the call, Baili Jing noticed that Arnold was acting strangely, and subconsciously asked, "What happened? Arnold."

"fine!"

Arnold shook his head expressionlessly and said, "It's just a child's prank."

"A child's prank?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Conan, who had a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The so-called "children's prank" was actually a code word of command that Baili Jing had set for Arnold in advance. The real meaning of this sentence was "suffering a non-injurious attack."

Because Arnold's intelligence level was not very high, Baili Jing specially set up several counterattack commands of different degrees for it in advance.

Chapter 21 Brother Baili

Among them, "child's prank" is the instruction with the weakest counterattack force.

When Baili Jing is attacked, and the attack is not enough to hurt him, Arnold will only intercept the attack instead of counterattacking.

For example, if Bailijing was accidentally bumped into by someone, or was attacked by Conan with an anesthetic needle, Arnold would only try to stop him, but would not beat or kill the other person.

Only when Baili Jing is in life-threatening danger can Arnold counterattack freely and without restriction until he completely defeats the opponent.

Fortunately, Bailijing set the counterattack order in advance, otherwise he would have been punched in the head by Arnold the next moment after Conan attacked him with the anesthetic needle.

"Conan, don't be so naughty~"

Bailijing patted Conan's little head and educated him in a serious tone: "Arnold is a mercenary who retired from the battlefield. If your prank accidentally triggers his instinctive counterattack, he will easily get hurt."

"I...I understand, Brother Jing, I'm sorry."

Conan glanced at Arnold secretly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he obediently apologized to Bailijing.

People like Arnold, who can remain unconscious even after receiving an anesthetic injection, are either naturally immune to anesthetics or have undergone special training and developed a strong resistance to anesthetics.

Combined with what Baili Jing just said, Conan felt that Arnold should belong to the second type of person, and he didn't dare to provoke Arnold again.

"Officer Megure, we found this blood-stained armor in Mr. Kubota's locker."

On the other hand, the police investigation is also nearing its end. Combining the content of the surveillance video, the message left by Boss Manaka before his death, and the blood-stained armor that has just been discovered, the police can almost determine that Naoki Kubota, a staff member of the art museum, is the murderer of Boss Manaka.

The most important thing is that Naoki Kubota has sufficient motive to commit the crime.

Naoki Kubota secretly stole and sold a lot of artworks from the art museum. When boss Manaka found out about this, he forced him to sell his house to pay back the money, otherwise he would send him to the police station and put him in jail.

Looking at the blood-stained armor, Officer Megure said with a straight face: "Mr. Kubota, please come with us to the police station for investigation!"

"It really wasn't me! I really didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone..."

"Oh no! If this continues, the evidence will be destroyed by the real murderer."

Looking at the departing backs of Inspector Megure and the others, Conan's face was full of anxiety, but he was helpless.

"Inspector Megure, please wait a moment, the murderer is not Mr. Kubota!"

Just as Director Ochiai raised his lips slightly, thinking that the situation had been settled, Baili Jing suddenly called out to Officer Megure and the others.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure couldn't help but ask, "Brother Baili, do you have any evidence?"

The ability of the Brother Fruit is activated!

"Officer Megure, don't you find it strange? On the wall stained with Boss Manaka's blood, there were introductions to several paintings, but the paintings on them are gone."

Baili Jing said halfway, turned to look at Director Ochiai and said, "It's as if someone knew in advance that the walls there would be contaminated by blood, and moved the artworks in advance to avoid them being damaged."

"Ding! Arouse the resentment of Director Ochiai and gain 13 villain points."

Hearing Baili Jing's words, Officer Megure's face suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted to the policeman beside him: "Go check the surveillance video and see who moved those paintings in advance?"

"Yes!"

As the surveillance video quickly rewound, a figure soon appeared in the video. The person who moved the painting in advance was Director Ochiai.

Officer Megure asked with a serious expression: "Director Ochiai, can you please explain why you took away those paintings in advance before Boss Manaka was killed?"

"because……"

"Apart from this doubt, there is actually another piece of absolute evidence."

Before Director Ochiai could argue, Bailijing pointed at the blood-stained armor and said, "Wearing this kind of airtight armor, it only takes a few minutes to make you sweat.

Therefore, it is easy to identify the murderer by simply testing the sweat stains in the armor or the hair that may be left behind.”

"Ding! Arouse the resentment of Director Ochiai and gain 52 villain points."

Director Ochiai sighed helplessly and said, "Don't bother. It was indeed me who killed Boss Manaka and was going to frame the crime on Kubota."

"Director..."

When the other staff members in the museum heard Director Ochiai personally admit that he had committed murder, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

"Perhaps you will think that I am too stupid to do this, but I really can't forgive that selfish guy."

Director Ochiai shook his head and said, "This art museum is like my child. I can't just watch it being destroyed. I will also punish Kubota who resold these artworks at will!"

"..."

After hearing what Director Ochiai said, Mao Lilan and the others all showed sympathy.

Perhaps because Baili Jing is more suitable to be a villain, he is not as emotional as Mao Li Ran and others. Instead, he feels that Boss Manaka's death was quite unjust.

You have to know that today is the weekend, and the total number of tourists visiting the art museum, including Baili Jing and his friends, will not exceed twenty people.

If it was Baili Jing who acquired this art museum and saw that the business was so bad, he would definitely choose to change his career. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be losing money every day?

Baili Jing even suspected that the previous owner went bankrupt because the art museum lost too much money.

After all, the annual maintenance costs of the art museum and the salaries of its employees are considerable expenses.

In fact, according to normal people's thinking, if Director Ochiai wants to make Boss Manaka give up the idea of ​​converting the art museum into a hotel, he should find a way to improve the art museum's business and let him see the value of the art museum's existence.

As a result, Director Ochiai started killing people without following any rules, leaving Boss Shinaka no chance to even admit defeat.

But when he thought that this was Rice Flower City, Baili Jing felt that it was normal.

The criminals in Rice Flower City are notoriously extreme. Even a normal breakup between lovers can easily result in the loss of their lives. Otherwise, Gotham City would not be called "Rice Flower".

Finally, at the strong request of Director Ochiai, Mr. Kubota was arrested by the police on charges of stealing and selling artworks from the museum.

The total value of the artworks stolen and sold by Mr. Kubota is at least over 10 million yen.

Even if the crime of theft is not as serious as the crime of murder, Mr. Kubota will have to spend several years in prison for such a huge amount of money.

Chapter 22 A slap in the face at the speed of light

Saturday, cloudy to overcast.

"Woooooooo..."

Accompanied by a shrill whistle, Baili Jing followed Maori Kogoro and the others and boarded the cruise ship bound for Yueying Island.

A few days ago, Kogoro Mouri received a strange commission letter. The content on it seemed a bit weird, and it felt more like a crime warning letter.

Originally, Kogoro Mori was not going to accept this kind of commission, but the client directly transferred 500,000 yen in commission fees into his bank account, forcing him to go to Tsukikage Island.

Because it was the weekend, Ran Mouri and Conan decided to go to Tsukikage Island with Kogoro Mouri, just as if they were going on vacation.

Since they were going out for a vacation, Mao Lilan naturally did not forget to invite Baili Jing, so Baili Jing brought Arnold along.

Maori Kogoro, who was lying on the railing of the cruise ship, said with an unhappy face: "Really, how can there be such a client? It's obvious that they are forcing me to come out to work!"

"What's the matter? Dad, we can take advantage of the weekend to go to a small island in the Izu Islands and relax for two days!"

Mao Lilan said halfway, turned to Conan beside her and asked: "Isn't that right, Conan?"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Conan nodded vigorously, and then secretly glanced at the mirror not far away with his peripheral vision.

I saw Baili Jing lying leisurely on a beach chair, and there were various fruits and drinks on the table next to him.

The burly Arnold stood motionless behind Baili Jing, like a statue.

If Conan wasn't worried about that jerk Baili Jing, who would poach his people while he was away, he would never have gone to Moon Shadow Island.

Perhaps noticing Conan's gaze, Bailijing suddenly waved and said, "Xiaolan, come sit here too! And have some fruit. The purpose of going out to play is to have fun~"

"Ding! Arouse the resentment of Edogawa Conan and gain 14 villain points."

Looking at Baili Jing's attentive attitude towards Mao Li Ran, Conan couldn't help but clench his fists.

This guy, Poison Tongue Mirror, is so unsportsmanlike!

Hasn't he heard the saying, "Don't cheat on your friend's wife"?

"Conan, let's go sit over there!"

Ran Maoli had no idea of ​​Conan's true thoughts. She pulled him to the Bailijing, sat on the empty beach chair, and happily enjoyed the fruits and drinks.

After sailing for several hours, the small cruise ship that Baili Jing and his crew were on finally docked at the pier of Yueying Island.

Under the leadership of Kogoro Mori, Baili Jing and his team went directly to the village committee on the island to inquire about Keiji Aso's information.

"Aso Keiji? Weird, I can't find this name!"

The staff of the village committee checked the residence list of the island residents twice, and finally shook their heads helplessly.

"Would you mind looking more carefully? Here is a letter he sent me."

After Kogoro Mouri finished speaking, he handed the letter of commission he had received to the staff member wearing glasses.

"But this person's name is not on the resident list. I have only just arrived on this island and I am not very clear about the situation of the residents on this island..."

"Kameda, what happened?"

Just when the staff felt embarrassed, a middle-aged man in a brown suit walked in from outside.

"Director, you're just in time."

When the staff saw the middle-aged man, they seemed to have seen a savior and asked quickly, "Director, is there a resident named Aso Keiji on this island? This detective said he received a commission from him."

"what?!"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed when he heard this: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Because... because he died twelve years ago!"
