Chapter 36: The Poor and Pathetic Knight~
The next day, inside a conference room in the Metropolitan Police Department. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Takagi Wataru looked at the few transcripts in front of him, got up and bowed, "It's really troublesome for you, let you waste your precious time and run away." ”
Mori Kogoro immediately smiled and scratched his head, "Officer Takagi is polite, this is what we should have done." ”
Shu Yunwen also said with a smile: "It is our obligation to cooperate with the police in handling the case!"
Officer Takagi turned to go out, and it wasn't long before another officer walked in and called out Mori Kogoro and Ran away. Suddenly, only Conan, Shu Yunwen, and Matsushita Heizaburo were left in this conference room.
"Shu Yunwen, why did you help Director Ochiai cover up the crime yesterday? The real murderer should be Director Ochiai, right? Wata, he was framed as a murderer by Director Ochiai!" Conan glared and looked at Shu Yunwen.
Shu Yunwen yawned boredly and rolled his eyes: "Edogawa little basinyou, I don't understand what you mean by this, I don't understand it! What do you mean by helping Director Ochiai cover up the crime? I don't even know who the murderer is, okay? Also, when addressing the elders, you can't call your name directly, you have to call me 'Brother Yunwen', you know?"
Conan stared at Shu Yunwen's eyes: "The real murderer is Director Ochiai, that's right." When Boss Manaka was killed, the note he was holding in his hand had Kuwata's name written on it, but that name was written in advance. After cornering Boss Manaka into a place where there was a ballpoint pen that he couldn't write and the piece of paper with Kuwata's name written on it, Director Ochiai said to Boss Manaka, 'Look, that piece of paper has the name of the murderer written on it.'" After that, the boss of Manaka saw that Kuwata's name was written on it, and picked up the ballpoint pen next to him to cross it out and write the name of the real murderer. ”
Of course, he couldn't write it, though. Because, that ballpoint pen can't write anything at all. However, his action of writing and drawing on the paper was used by the murderer, making the police officer think that it was the name of Kuwata written by the boss of Manaka......"
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes: "Edogawa little pot friend, you said so much, is there any evidence?"
"Evidence? Evidence is the ballpoint pen that can't write words. "Originally, at the scene, this would be an ironclad piece of evidence that could make Director Ochiai confess." It's a pity, it looks like you should have discovered it and destroyed it in advance. At that time, the ballpoint pen in the hand of the director of Ochiai should have been Vice President Matsushita, right? You deliberately snatched the ballpoint pen and asked Vice President Matsushita to draw me a map of going out to the toilet, just so that Vice President Matsushita could touch the ballpoint pen and leave fingerprints. This is just in case, the police will verify the ballpoint pen, right?"
Well, I have to say, Conan was right again.
Shu Yunwen's original idea was indeed like this.
However, even if Director Ochiai is temporarily exonerated from the crime, it won't be long before he will still be suspected by the police and caught. As for Mr. Kuwata, he should be acquitted by tomorrow at the latest......" Conan continued.
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Conan was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Actually, in addition to the ballpoint pen that can't write words, there is a lot of evidence that is enough to prove that the curator is guilty, and Watada is not guilty. ”
"First of all, it's the word 'Wata' on that piece of paper. At the scene, due to the limited conditions, the police could not do a more detailed verification, and they would take it for granted that the word 'Watian' was written by the real boss. However, once they arrive at the police station, the officers will certainly conduct a more detailed examination of all the evidence. Then, they will find that the two words 'Wata' do not match the handwriting of the boss of Manaka, and they are not written by the same person at all. After having doubts, they will identify the scratches on the paper, and they will find that those scratches are the ones left by the real boss. The officers weren't stupid either, and with these two points, it would naturally occur to them that the piece of paper had been prepared before. Moreover, the ballpoint pen captured in the surveillance camera can't write anything at all!"
"Again, there is blood. The blood stains on the armor, if a normal person wants to take off the armor, no matter how careful he is, he will definitely get blood stains on his body and clothes. However, Mr. Watata did not have a single trace of blood at all, and he could not find the clothes that were hidden with blood stains, etc. As for wearing a raincoat or something, although it is feasible, it will still leave a blood-stained raincoat. All in all, no matter what, there will definitely be something left with blood in the end, and it will be too late to deal with it. Isn't it strange that Mr. Wata's only bloodstained armor was found?"
"Finally, there's hair and dander. Just like the blood stains mentioned earlier, as long as the murderer comes into contact with the armor, there is a high chance that hair, dander, fluff on clothes, and so on will be left behind. These are still very easy to collect and identify. As long as the police find something, they will definitely find that there will be Mr. Curator's hair, dander, fluff and so on. Moreover, there may be blood stains on these things......"
Conan paused slightly at this point before he added, "Of course, these are the chains of evidence that are enough to conclude that Director Ochiai is the murderer. In addition to this, there is some other evidence. And to prove Wata's innocence, any one of them is sufficient. And the evidence that is enough to conclude that Director Ochiai is the murderer can be collected in three to five days at most......"
Conan's reasoning made Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heizaburo speechless.
If it's really like what Conan said, then it seems that Director Ochiai can't completely get away with the crime no matter what!
After all, Director Ochiai had been practicing with that suit of armor. I believe that the evidence left in that suit of armor is enough to convict!
Shu Yunwen was very uncomfortable by Conan's eyes, squinted, and used a trick: "Conan, I sometimes wonder that you are just a child, why are you so powerful?"
"Uh......" Conan was hit by the key point, his blood volume decreased sharply, and he opened the mode of selling Meng Zhengtai, "Oops~ I, I listened to Uncle Maori!"
"Did Mr. Maori say that? Then let him tell me personally!" Shu Yunwen slapped Conan on the head, "Also, if you suspect that I am harboring Director Ochiai, then come up with evidence! If there is no evidence, I will not admit it!"
"Ouch. ”
Conan rubbed his head.
If he had any evidence, he would have let Maori Kogoro sleep and expose Shu Yunwen!
Shu Yunwen is shielding Director Ochiai, and he doesn't have any evidence to lose!
At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and I saw Takagi probe coming in, smiling and greeting Shu Yunwen: "Yunwensang, please come out for a while, is it okay? Officer Twilight has something to ask you for help......
"Okay, I'll go over it. Shu Yunwen nodded in agreement, then turned his head and said, "By the way, Matsushita-kun, you can drive outside the Metropolitan Police Department and wait for me first." Officer Takagi, it doesn't seem appropriate to leave Conan here alone, right? Why don't you take him with me?"
"This should be possible......
......
Search a lesson, at the officer's desk.
Shu Yunwen walked over with Conan, and greeted the familiar police officers around him by the way.
Mori Kogoro and Mori Lan were at Officer Twilight's desk, and when Officer Twilight saw Shu Yunwen, he stood up, greeted him, and thanked him first: "Yunwen Sang, thank you for coming over today to make a note, I'm really troublesome to you." In addition, there is one more thing that we police want to ask Yun Wensang to seriously recall......"
"Memories, reminiscences, what?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.
Next to Shu Yunwen, Conan showed a knowing smile.
"The content that Yun Wensang recalls is about the case at the Middle Ages Art Museum last night. After Officer Twilight motioned for Shu Yunwen and Conan to sit down, he said, "Please allow me to tell Yun Wensang about the latest development of this case." Originally, the progress of the investigation of the case should not have been disclosed by the police. However, because Mr. Maori and Yun Wensang have helped us police a lot before, and you were all present in last night's case, you can provide us with some reference opinions. So, I'm making an exception to inform you......"
“...... After returning last night, we conducted a detailed appraisal of the evidence found at the scene, and the final result showed that Mr. Wata, who was brought back by our police, was most likely not a prisoner. ”
"Ah......" Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes, and then was silent.
Officer Twilight paused before saying, "As for the detailed identification of the evidence, it must be kept secret, so I can't tell you. However, because of the identification of the evidence, Mr. Kuwata's suspicion has been reduced, and our police believe that it is very likely that he was deliberately framed by the real culprit. Several people also know that when they were at the scene, the armor was found in Mr. Wata's cabinet, and since Mr. Watada was not the murderer, someone must have put the blood-stained armor in Kuwata's cabinet, which can only be done by people who are familiar with the museum. As a result, the staff in the museum may have committed crimes that have increased their ......"
"Now, our police are conducting a second investigation of the employees in the Middle Ages Art Museum. ”
"Excuse me, did you find anything strange when you were at the scene?"
Shu Yunwen shook his head directly and said, "No." ”
As for Mori Kogoro, he put on a thoughtful look, and then said: "I still think that the vice president of Panasonic is very suspicious......"
Shu Yunwen: "......"
Xiaolan: "......"
Conan: "......"
"......," Officer Twilight smiled helplessly, "...... Mr. Mori, don't be kidding! The time that the vice president of Panasonic left was not enough to commit a crime. Moreover, the main targets of our suspicions now are people who are familiar with the interior of the museum. The vice president of Panasonic should not belong to this category. ”
Conan suddenly said with an innocent look at this time: "Ah, Officer Twilight, speaking of which, if Kuwata is not the murderer, then his luck is really bad! At the time of the crime, if he hadn't happened to be arranged by Uncle Ochiai, the curator, to work in the office, then he wouldn't have been suspected......"
Shu Yunwen reached out and rubbed Conan's head.
This little guy is clearly reminding Director Ochiai that there is a problem!
"Hmm......" Officer Twilight and Mori Kogoro came to their senses at the same time, and then Officer Twilight said, "That Director Ochiai is indeed very suspicious and needs to be investigated." ”
When Shu Yunwen heard this, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
was targeted by the police, and it seems that it was only a matter of time before Director Ochiai was caught.
He had wanted to spend his last days outside the detention center, but now it seems unlikely that he would spend his last days.
Officer Twilight asked some more questions, Shu Yunwen didn't know anything here, Maori Kogoro there was all kinds of teasing, and after chatting for a while, Officer Twilight had something to do, Shu Yunwen and Maori Kogoro they said goodbye and left.
......
Returning to the office with a lot of concern, Shu Yunwen's eyes swept over the reception room, and when he saw a figure, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly signaled to Matsushita Heizaburo behind him: "Matsushita-kun, please invite Director Ochiai to my office." ”
"Yes, Yoon-sama!"
Shu Yunwen returned to the office, and in less than a minute, Heizaburo Matsushita walked in with Director Ochiai.
Shu Yunwen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa in front of his desk: "Director Ochiai, please take a seat." ”
"Hai, Lord Yunwen. Director Ochiai nodded and sat down on the couch.
Heizaburo Matsushita took out three cups from the cabinet and asked, "Director Ochiai, do you want something to drink?"
Director Ochiai's voice was low: "A glass of water is fine." ”
After a pause, Director Ochiai then said, "Lord Yunwen, Matsushita-kun, thank you so much for yesterday's incident. I didn't expect that child, who didn't seem to be very old, would be so observant......"
Shu Yunwen pursed his lips: "Director Ochiai, did we do anything yesterday? Also, don't think that you can escape the police in this way." Now, the police have concluded that Wakuda is not the real murderer, and they have begun to suspect you......"
"I know. Director Ochiai replied softly.
"You know?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Are you supposed to be ready to be caught?"
Director Ochiai said, "That's right. From the moment I had the heart to kill Boss Manaka, I was ready to be caught. Do you know that the Museum of the Middle Ages is like a child in my heart. After the previous owner was not doing well, and after the museum was sold to the owner, I thought that the museum would be able to rejuvenate with the help of the owner of Manaka and attract a lot of customers. However, I really didn't expect that the guy who was the boss of Manaka would want to turn the museum into a hotel! From the moment I knew the news, he was not a human being in my eyes, but a demon! A demon with an ugly soul and depravity!"
"Since he is a demon, he should not exist in the world. So, I have to get rid of him! I'm going to be a knight who slays demons!"
Director Ochiai's words fell, and next to him, Matsushita Heizaburo poured water and coffee, and was about to turn around to Shu Yunwen and Director Ochiai, and then he saw an incredible scene, the tray in his hand was unstable, and he fell to the ground with a "dangchang" sound-
In his eyes, a layer of transparent knight's armor suddenly appeared around the body of Director Ochiai, and it looked like it was real.
"Heavenly Punishment"!
Director Ochiai had already been influenced by that painting back then.
Shu Yunwen frowned slightly: "Director Ochiai, it may be a bit rude to ask this...... But do you know what you're doing? I have to tell you that your current condition is probably ......influenced by the painting called Heavenly Punishment in the Hell Gallery."
"I know some, though, it doesn't matter. Director Ochiai shook his head, "Actually, everything is just like what was drawn in that painting, right? I became a knight and slain demons, but I was also stained with evil blood." However, as long as you can kill that demon, it will all be worth it. ”
Shu Yunwen stared at Director Ochiai: "Since you are ready to be arrested, why do you deliberately frame that person named Wata?"
Director Ochiai replied softly, "That's because I still have some things to deal with, so I need someone to attract the attention of the police......; Shouldn't this hateful guy be punished for secretly reselling art in the museum? Of course, I'm not really going to frame him as a murderer, but I just want him to get a taste of it. When the police prove his innocence, or when I turn myself in, I will give the police the evidence I have gathered that he is secretly reselling art, so that he will receive the punishment he deserves. He has to pay for what he did!"
When Director Ochiai spoke, his voice went from low to high, and at the end it was almost like a roar.
It seems that Watada is as ugly as a demon in his heart, but he is not guilty of death.
"Hmm......" Shu Yunwen nodded, "It seems that you have made a decision, so I won't say more." I have to warn you, though, that you'd better hurry. Even if the police don't arrest you for the time being because of insufficient evidence, you will die in half a month at most. ”
Director Ochiai was silent for a long time before asking, "Is it because of ...... That painting?"
"That's right. Shu Yunwen nodded, "You should have discovered it too, right? During this time, you have a lot of energy, physical strength, and a lot of strength." That's because your soul is affected by that painting. However, because of this, your soul has been affected, and in half a month at most, you will definitely die!"
"Actually, I can feel it. Director Ochiai replied, without saying anything, as if he had already accepted all this.
Shu Yunwen then said: "That's right, Director Ochiai." The painting in the art museum is just a scourge left in the hands of ordinary people. I'd like to collect that painting if I could, okay?"
"No problem. Director Ochiai agreed, "However, that painting can't be handed over to you for free......
"Ten million yen. Shu Yunwen offered a price code.
Director Ochiai nodded: "Later, I will have someone send the painting, please Yunwen-sama prepare the money." ”
After a few more casual words, Director Ochiai stood up: "I'm sorry, Yoon-sama, I still have some things to deal with, so I have to leave immediately." Still, I want to thank you for the help you have given me. ”
"Well, no thanks. Shu Yunwen said.
Director Ochiai asked again, "That's right." Yesterday, Yun Wensang took the ballpoint pen from me, can Yun Wensang return it to me?"
"Matsushita-kun, where is the ballpoint pen?" Shu Yunwen asked, turning his head.
Matsushita Heizaburo immediately said, "In the safe of the office, I'll go get it." ”
After Heizaburo Matsushita brought the ballpoint pen, Director Ochiai took his leave again and got up to leave.
"Yoshi, Yoshimi-sama, you—Did you just see that? ...... on Director Ochiai's body," Heizaburo Matsushita stammered.
Shu Yunwen nodded: "Of course I saw it." ”
"Director Ochiai, he ...... A poor and pathetic knight!"
PS: Hmm...... This is my assessment of Director Ochiai.
