"Is that you, old friend?"

When everyone focused their attention on Director Ochiai with Uncle De's words, they couldn't help but look confused. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Kidding, aren't you?" Officer Twilight couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "Eagleya-kun, you don't think it's him, do you?"

"Why not, based on all the clues so far, the biggest suspect at the moment is Mr. Curator. Takaya couldn't help but turn his head to look at the silent Curator Ochiai, "Whether it's placing a billboard, transferring artworks, vacating the exhibition room as a place to meet with Boss Manaka, or sending Kuwata to work, so that he doesn't have an alibi, if you want to do all this, there is no doubt that Mr. Ochiai, who is the curator, is the most likely!"

"But, but, as you said just now, the weight of Boss Manaka and the armor combined, even Mr. Kuwata can't move, how can he ...... Director Ochiai" Looking at the gray-haired old curator, Officer Twilight couldn't believe that he could do such a thing.

"You can't just look at the surface of things, Officer Dusk, didn't Uncle De easily put Watian down just now?"

"This ......" Officer Twilight couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard Hawkya's words, unable to say a word.

"Uncle De, I remember you said that Director Ochiai is your comrade-in-arms, right?

Speaking of this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but turn his gaze to Uncle De with a complicated face over there.

"To be precise, it is the members who were sent to study at SAS in the UK in the same cohort. ”

Director Ochiai, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and there was an indescribable nostalgia between his words.

"SAS? I think it seems to be ...... It's ......" Hearing the word, Maori seemed to think of something.

"British Special Air Service Regiment. Takaya looked into Director Ochiai's eyes and said, "That's right, Mr. Curator." ”

Conan curled the corners of his mouth and expressed serious contempt for Takaya's shameless behavior of learning and selling......

"That's right," Director Ochiai smiled and nodded, "but even so, what does it mean?"

"What do you mean?" Hearing his words, both Taka and Conan couldn't help frowning slightly.

"You've only proven that I'm capable of doing these things, but there's still no conclusive proof that I did all of this, aren't you?" Director Ochiai looked at him quietly with that unchanging smile.

[Indeed, all current inferences are based on evidence of the situation, and there is no substantial evidence to prove it.] 】

Hearing Director Ochiai's words, Conan couldn't help but touch his chin and fell into deep thought.

[However, there must be substantial evidence, but it was hidden by him, in a place we don't know.] 】

"You want substantial evidence, don't you?" However, at this moment, Eagle Arrow suddenly showed a smile.

"Huh?" Seeing his calm smile, the long beard of the head of the Ochiai Pavilion couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Director Ochiai, you also knew that you would transfer those artworks before you started, which shows that you are a very delicate person. ”

In the face of Eagleya's words, Director Ochiai did not answer, because once he answered, he would admit that he did it himself.

"Someone as delicate as you usually doesn't leave any evidence, and that bloody armor must have been disposed of by you, and you probably put on a raincoat or something before putting on that armor to prevent blood from splashing on yourself. ”

Seeing that Director Ochiai didn't answer, Takaya began to tell his reasoning on his own.

"You can get everything else in order before the police arrive, except for the only one. ”

Saying this, Takaya couldn't help but stop in front of Director Ochiai and quietly looked him in the eyes.

"Oh, what is it?" said Director Ochiai, with the same expression on his face, indifferently and rhetorically.

"It's that pen," Taka couldn't help but turn his head and look at the empty display stand over there, "it's the ballpoint pen you put there and specially prepared for Kuwata!"

"......" Hearing this, Director Ochiai was finally a little moved, and slowly put away his smile.

"This is the only mistake in your perfect murder show, you never thought that the boss would angrily throw the pen in the visual range of the surveillance camera after discovering that the pen could not be written!"

Looking at Director Ochiai's suddenly changing face, Takaya knew that he was not wrong.

Just now in the monitoring room, when everyone's eyes were focused on the note, he paid attention to the whereabouts of the pen. Because Boss Manaka's expression at that moment was too weird, he had to care about the whereabouts of the paper and pen that caused him to be so angry and surprised. The paper was held in his hand, and the pen was discarded behind the feet of a knight in armor next to him.

"There was no way you could handle that pen anymore when you were wearing armor, because it would attract everyone's attention and frustrate your plan to blame Mr. Kuwata. And no one appeared in the surveillance footage until we found the body, so it stands to reason that the pen should be lying there untouched. But when Conan found the pen just now, he found that the pen had been replaced, didn't Conan?"

With that, Takaya couldn't help but turn his head to look at Conan who was standing at his feet.

"Yes, that's right, Brother Takaya!" Conan couldn't help but nod in affirmation.

"This can only mean two things," Eagle Ya couldn't help but stretch out two fingers, "First, this pen was secretly replaced when the police investigated the scene, and the only people who could do this were those of us who were called to the scene of the crime for questioning." Second, we all acted together after that, and no one left halfway, and if you had replaced that pen at that time, the ballpoint pen that was replaced and couldn't write would definitely still be on you!"

"Is this true?" Officer Twilight couldn't help but walk up to him, "Mr. Curator, could you please cooperate?"

Although it is said that it is a request for cooperation, it is actually an order, and the implication is to conduct a body search.

"If you want to say that the pen is your own, then please explain why you have a pen that you can't write!" At this time, Eagle Arrow suddenly spoke again, "And I forgot to tell you, even if you have the opportunity to wipe off the fingerprints and blood stains of the real boss on that pen, as long as you take it back for testing, you can still detect the residual ...... of the bloodstains"

"Could you please take out the ballpoint pen on your body and let us check it?" Hearing Eagle's words, Twilight couldn't help but press the brim of his hat, and said with a serious expression, "By the way, what were you doing between 8:26 and 8:43?"

"What a brilliant deduction, no need to bother, I confess, I was wearing that armor at that time, waiting for the demon. ”

At this time, Director Ochiai suddenly smiled, and then took out the pen that could not be written from his arms.

"I guess I've practiced a lot of times, and the clean and neat movements on the monitor are like performances, and if there is no rehearsal, even the former members of the special air group are not so easy to do. Looking at Ochiai's relieved appearance, Takaya couldn't help but say.

"So, could it be that the rumors of the walking armor are also true?" said Mori, surprised.

"Ah, it must have been accidentally seen by the guards when Mr. Curator was practicing, right?" Conan on the side couldn't help but nod.

"Old friend, why is this so?" Looking at Director Ochiai, who was handcuffed, Uncle De couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

"Maybe I think I'm stupid to kill people just because this museum is about to be converted into a hotel......," Director Ochiai let out a long sigh, "I've been staying in this place since I retired, and it's been thirty years. ”

Saying this, Director Ochiai's tone couldn't help but reveal a strong sense of nostalgia and a deep sense of vicissitudes.

"I have fulfilled my promise with my previous boss to take care of this museum, which is like my home, and I have carefully wiped down every piece of art and treated it as if it were my own child. Speaking of this, his words suddenly changed, "But I didn't expect that this demon would actually want to destroy my home and destroy my beloved children, and at that moment, I felt an indescribable anger and bloodthirsty impulse rush into my mind." I haven't felt this urge in a long time since I retired. ”

"From that moment on, I decided to defend my home and my children with my own hands, and I was going to make that demon pay!, So, I put on the armor of the Knight of Punishment and put an end to that demon with my own hands, just like the painting depicted!" Chief Ochiai let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Uncle Tokuku on the side, "You should be able to understand me, Ikeda, if anyone wants to hurt this young master you cherish, I guess you will make the same choice as me, right?"

Hearing Director Ochiai's words, Uncle De couldn't help but fall into a deep silence.

He couldn't refute it, because he himself knew that if his young master was threatened with his life, maybe he would protect him at all costs, as this old comrade-in-arms said!

After all, when they were in the army, they already had a lot of blood on their hands......

"Uncle De!" Seeing Uncle De's gloomy face and clenched fists, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but call him.

That sound suddenly made Uncle De come back to his senses from the past years and let go of his fist again.

"And, of course, you Wada. On the other side, Director Ochiai also turned his attention to Kuwata, who was blamed by him.

"I, me?" Wata, who no longer dared to treat the curator as a little old man, couldn't help but be frightened.

"I'm going to punish you for selling art without permission!" said Director Ochiai solemnly.

"So, you came up with this trick of killing and blaming for trouble," Maori couldn't help but take a deep breath and sneered, "but this is really ironic, Mr. Curator, this is different from that painting, you yourself have been punished by the so-called heaven!"

"No, it's the same, you don't grasp the true meaning of the painting. A hint of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Director Ochiai's mouth, "Although the demon was killed by the righteous knight, while the knight killed the demon, he was also contaminated by the demon's blood and became a demon. One day, he will face his own heavenly punishment. ”

Hearing this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but be shocked, and involuntarily clenched his fists.

And Conan, who was on the side, couldn't help but turn his gaze to him, which was indescribably complicated.

"Take good care of what you hold dear, Ikeda, for he is a young master worthy of your heartfelt service. ”

Before being taken away, Director Ochiai couldn't help but turn his head, and finally saluted Uncle Toku.

"I hope you never end up like me. ”

"I will, old friend. ”

Saying this, Uncle De couldn't help but salute him, just like they did at the beginning.

"Goodbye, old friend, I really hope that I can have a good chat with you. ”

"There's going to be a chance, old friend. ”

Uncle De looked at the back of the bleak exit and muttered to himself.

====================================================================

"Woo woo, what a poor man Mr. Curator......"

Outside the gate of the art museum, the kind-hearted Xiaolan couldn't help crying after listening to Conan and them finish talking about the outline of the case.

"The so-called poor people must have their hate, and whoever does something wrong will have to pay. ”

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Eagle Ya sighed as if she had replied to her and as if she was self-deprecating.

"Ah, why are you so cold-blooded, can't you have more sympathy?" the garden glared at him angrily.

"I sympathize with him, who sympathizes with the boss of Zhenzhong who was killed for no reason, people just want to build a restaurant, and the crime is not to death, right?"

Faced with the garden's complaints, Eagle Ya could only shrug helplessly.

"You have a point...... "Sonoko muttered," Sonoko muttered, "but that's what it turns out to be a moving armored knight." ”

"I said before that it must be fake...... "Eagle Ya said angrily, "where are there so many supernatural events in this world?" ”

"But Xiaolan should be very disappointed......" Yuan Zi couldn't help but say helplessly.

"Eh, why am I disappointed?" Xiaolan said as she wiped her tears and was a little puzzled.

"Didn't you say you were interested in these supernatural events before, and asked if the Eagle Arrow could shrink!"

Hearing Yuanzi's words, Conan, who was following Xiaolan, was suddenly shocked, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Ahh

"I'm not interested, you still have to drag us here......" Maori and Conan on the side couldn't help but sneer.

"Huh?" The killing intent fluctuated again, and the majesty of the Humanoid Gundam made them shut their mouths wisely once again.

"In that case, I'll see you tomorrow, guys. ”

Sympathetic to Maori and Conan, Sonoko got into the car of the butler who had been waiting for a long time, and waved his hand in this direction.

"Yes, bye-bye!"

"Anyway, how is Mr. Maori going back, do you need the old man to give you a ride?" said Uncle De, who was about to drive.

"Ouch, that's so kind, then we'll ...... Shh

"Don't bother Mr. Ikeda, let's just take a taxi ourselves. Xiaolan said with a smile as she pulled Maori's cheek.

"Eh, it's rare that people are willing to send ...... Ah, got it, got it, let's call a taxi, okay?"

Maori, who was still trying to say something, screamed and was pulled to the side of the road by Xiaolan to stop a taxi.

"The old man also went to drive first. After Uncle De said this, he also left here.

Suddenly, at the entrance of the Nuoda Art Museum, there were only two people left, Eagle Ya and Conan.

"Hey, Hawkbolt. ”

Finally, when this time came, Conan forcibly suppressed his excitement and asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.

"You, that black knight, aren't you?"

At that moment, it was as if the night wind had stopped for a moment, the rustling of leaves suddenly stopped, and the air was suddenly quiet and a little scary.

After three seconds, it was as if time was flowing again.

The night wind blew the eagle's black hair, causing the corners of his mouth to curl with an indescribable arc.

Reflecting the moonlight, this was the first time Conan had seen his best friend smile so cold and unfamiliar.

"Then should I ask you rhetorically, are you Shinichi Kudo?"

Takayama turned his head and said with a contemptuous and icy smile he had never seen before.

"I don't think it's better to insult each other's intelligence, Detective?"

"Sure enough...... It's you!"

Hearing Hawkya's words, Conan couldn't help but feel his heart twitch hard.

Although he had already guessed this result, he was still shocked when he heard him say it with his own ears.

"Why do you ...... Do you want to do that?"

Looking at the mocking smile on his face, Conan suddenly surged into an emotion called anger, and couldn't help but question him loudly.

After the main question was confirmed, he couldn't help but want to ask him this question!

Why! Why did you choose to do this, choose to do it in such a brutal way, choose to become a criminal!

"Why, don't tell me you can't reason. ”

Hearing Conan's questioning, Takaya couldn't help but sneer. The smile looks heartless, but it is indescribably bitter.

"Sure enough, is it because of your parents?" Conan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw Eagleya's lifeless smile, "So, you chose this way, do you think you can protect the city and protect those children like you?"

"Isn't it?" said Takagiya with a sneer, "You don't think I'm risking my life so hard to fight for self-satisfaction and a good reputation, do you?"

"Of course I don't think so! But you can't ...... with that."

Having seen the scene of him being shot in order to save people that day, how could Conan think that? For a moment, his tone weakened a little.

"Otherwise, what kind of means do you use, do you wait for the police, or do you have to wait until the case is after the case is discovered, and then play a game of reasoning like a critic to find the murderer?" said Taka sneered and said unceremoniously.

"You!" Conan felt furious at the sneer of Hawkya, but couldn't find the words to refute for a moment.

"If you wait for the police, I don't know how many teenagers will be harmed by that drug-making den! If you wait for the police, I don't know how many lives will be taken by the black guns circulating on the black market! If you wait for the police, I don't know how many souls will be buried under Yamaguchi Silver's throat cutting knife!"

"So, do you think it doesn't matter if you use your method? More brutal than them, more terrifying than them, do you think that the use of violence to counter violence will make the city more peaceful? Your approach will only lead to more violence and madness! You have just seen the ending of Director Ochiai, what will happen to the so-called punishment knight! If you want to bury the darkness, you will inevitably get your hands dirty!" Conan looked at him deeply, showing an expression of sadness and anger at his misfortune, " Yes, you have been victimized, and now you are strong, so you are going to become the perpetrator? Now you can break other people's bones, torture their bodies, and trample on other people's wills and souls without hesitation! What is the difference between you and the murderer of your parents five years ago!"

Conan's words made Hawk Arrow shake all over, but the simple and straightforward words were like a sharp knife at this moment, piercing straight into Hawk Arrow's fragile heart, so that he could hold his hands tightly so that he was not swallowed by emotions.

"Yes, of course there are differences......"

It wasn't until a long moment that Takaya came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.

"At least, I'm not going to kill people...... I swore at my parents' graves that I would never kill!"

After saying this, Eagle Arrow seemed to use all the strength of his body.

"That's the last chance I gave them...... As long as you live, there is still a possibility, and when you die, there is nothing......"

At this time, Uncle De had already driven the car in front of Eagle Ya and flashed his headlights twice.

"Since five years ago, I have been very clear about what I want to do and what I want to do......

"Detective, under the bustling neon of this city, there is much thicker darkness than you think, a darkness that you who stand in the light alone may not be able to touch for a lifetime. So, it takes someone to draw out this darkness!"

"Isn't it necessary for the punishment knight to exist if he is afraid of becoming a demon? ”

With that, Eagle Arrow walked towards his car without looking back, saying the same as he went.

"Don't worry, if one day, when the city no longer needs the Black Knight, I will go and turn myself in......"

"Just think of it as ...... The so-called heavenly punishment ......"

Listening to his words and looking at his back, somehow, the anger in Conan's heart gradually decreased, and the only thing left was discomfort.

"By the way, let me tell you one last thing, the guy who killed my parents back then is probably the same guy who made you smaller. ”

Sitting in the back seat of the Bentley, Eagle Arrow rolled down the window and said to Conan outside the window.

"W-What?" Conan's pupils narrowed suddenly.

"Hey, Conan, let's go!"

"Oh, come on!"

At this time, Xiaolan's voice suddenly came from behind him, and then he couldn't help but turn around and answer.

By the time he turned his head again, Bentley had already gone with a roar.

The night breeze blew the corners of Conan's clothes. Suddenly, I felt a little cold......

=====================================================================

"Did you tell him, young master?"

Looking at the eagle arrow sitting on the edge of the bed with an indifferent expression from the rearview mirror, Uncle De couldn't help asking.

"Ah, I wasn't prepared to hide it from him in the first place," Eagle Ya leaned on the window with one hand and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, "That organization is not something that I or he alone can pry, we must unite all the forces that can be united." ”

"Can he be trusted?"

"If you can't trust him, I don't know who else in the world can be trusted. ”

"That's right, young master, you have such a friend who can tell secrets without reservation, and the old man is very pleased. ”

"You and Director Ochiai...... Is that the same?" Eagle Arrow asked, turning his head and involuntarily.

"That's pretty much it. Uncle De's hand couldn't help shaking, and then he recovered, with a hint of a smile, and said calmly.

"Sorry...... Today should have been the scene of you meeting and catching up......" Eagle Arrow couldn't help but turn his head again.

"Young Master, why do you apologize, this is his decision, and he is willing to do it for it. Uncle De couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "I know the personality of my old friend very well, presumably he invited me over today just to be a witness." ”

"Witness what?" said Taka curiously.

"Either witness his counterattack, or witness his exit......" Uncle De sighed softly.

"Don't you feel sad and regretful to see him end up like this?"

"It's a little bit, but the road is his own choice, and the responsibility is naturally shouldered by him. ”

"So, do you think he regrets it, or if it were you and the threatened one was me, would you kill someone for me?" Hawk couldn't help but turn his head and look at him fixedly through the rearview mirror.

"Maybe, maybe not," Sensing the eagle's gaze, Uncle De couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, "The only thing that can be confirmed is that the old man will protect you at all costs, even if it is my old life." ”

"I don't need you to fight for your life, I'll protect myself...... I don't want to lose any more of my family, do you understand, Uncle De?" Eagle Arrow sighed deeply as she looked at the colorful neon outside the window.

"I understand, young master. Uncle De nodded, revealing a hint of a smile, "I won't go the way of Ochiai." ”

"That's good......" Eagle Ya nodded, and then asked, "Uncle De, let me ask you, what is it like to kill someone?"

"At least, it will definitely not be a comfortable feeling...... "Uncle De pushed his glasses, recalling the scene back then.

"That's why you want me to swear in front of my parents that I will never kill anyone?" Hawk sighed deeply.

"Ah, it's precisely because the old man has experienced this feeling that he doesn't want you to bear this kind of shackles, young master......" Uncle De nodded, "And if you want to keep your heart and stick to the path you are going to take now, you can't let blood stain your heart." ”

"Yes......" Takaya chuckled, "Uncle De, what will happen to the art museum land after the death of the boss of Manaka?"

"Maybe it will be continued by their group, or maybe it will be put up for auction. ”

"Do we have any spare money in our hands, so let's buy it, and we will fulfill Director Ochiai's wish. ”

"Young Master......" Uncle De looked at him, and a relieved smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, "The old man understands." ”

"Also, the painting called Heavenly Punishment, buy it for me, and hang it in my room. ”

"Hehe, young master, aren't you afraid of waking up in the morning and being startled?"

"Whether it's scaring or scare, it makes me get used to it, so it's a little bit mentally prepared. ”

"When the day of the heavenly punishment that belongs to me comes, I can face it calmly......"

Leaning back in the soft chair, Takaya smiled a little lonely.
