Saturday, February 24th, afternoon, Rice Flower Art Museum.

Mr. Manaka, the future owner of the Rice Flower Art Museum, collapsed in the hell exhibition room, in a pool of his own blood, and in order to know the truth of the matter, the Twilight Police Department took everyone to watch the surveillance video in the surveillance room.

The footage began at 4:25 p.m., and as time passed, a few seconds later, a figure appeared on the screen, which had only been armor and a low table. Boss Manaka walked in front of the armor, he looked around, then turned around to face the camera, and then looked at his watch, which looked like he was waiting for someone.

At this time, that is, when the screen time was displayed at 4:26, the armor, which was originally stationary, suddenly raised the sword in his hand at the boss who was looking at the watch with his back to it, and slashed down at the back of the boss of the real middle school. After Boss Manaka was stabbed, he immediately touched his back and leaned his back against the wall next to the low table. Instead of pursuing, the armor jumped forward, and then stood still facing the camera and the back facing Boss Manaka.

Two minutes later, when the screen time was displayed at 4:28, the relieved boss Manaka first picked up the pen on the low table, then tore off the paper on the wall, and then after looking at it, he immediately showed a surprised expression, and then wrote something, then threw the pen out, crumpled the paper into a ball, and held it in his hand.

At this time, that is, when the screen time is displayed as 4:29, the armor that has not been moved, suddenly the right leg takes a half step back, and the backhand slashes down on the front of the real boss again, and turns around, using the right leg as a support and benchmark, the left leg takes a step forward, and at the same time, the left hand stretches out diagonally from the bottom to the top, and gets stuck in the neck of the real boss who is slashed backwards by the sword, and then leans forward, changes the left leg support, and the left hand continues to work diagonally upward, while lifting the real boss up, while letting him lean against the wall, and then the right hand follows up with the trend, lifting the sword obliquely and stabbing at the throat of the real boss。

At this time, when the boss was about to be nailed to the wall by the long sword, something suddenly flew over and hit the sword. The thing collided with the sword, and it shattered instantly, but the sword was also knocked off. Because the left hand that was stuck in Boss Manaka's neck was still going up, the sword slashed across Boss Manaka's shoulder.

Then the armor immediately let go of the Manaka boss, and then after turning around with the sword's castration, he rushed in the direction where 'that thing' came from without waiting to stand firm, and then the picture came out. Yamazaki and Midaiko then appear on the screen, but the two of them only glance at the pool of blood and leave, and no one appears on the screen until the Mori trio appears. ……

"Twilight Police," Mori immediately exclaimed after watching the video, "the note should still be in the hands of Boss Manaka." ”

The Twilight Police Department immediately ordered his men to handle this matter, and then asked the forensic personnel to find the pen, and then said to Yamazaki, "Please explain." ”

Yamazaki explained, "It was my mobile phone, and I threw it out when I saw that the situation was urgent. Then we saw it rushing towards us and let it go. Then we went to call the police and call an ambulance. ”

"Then it's past you," the Dusk Police Department asked, "what else can you remember?"

"It's fast, we didn't find anything. "By the way, it can be seen from its last move that it wants to imitate the huge painting." ”

"Giant paintings?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "What giant paintings?"

Maori said: "By the way, it's the one hanging in front of the scene of the incident, with the title 'Heavenly Punishment', it's probably to imitate that painting, so it didn't directly kill the real boss." So much so that in the end, when it wanted to nail Boss Manaka to the wall, it could let Yamazaki save Boss Manaka. ”

"Looks like the murderer is very bold," said the Dusk Police Department, "and this outfit would cause a commotion if anyone saw it." ”

"So," said Randolph, "there was a 'No Entry' sign on the passage leading to the murder room. ”

Mei Daiko continued, "Didn't you just say that? We broke in. ”

Maori said, "Lan, we should have seen the sign around four o'clock." ”

The Twilight Police Department analyzed: "Then, the time of the crime can be confirmed to be around half past four, and the sign should have been put by the murderer."

"He used this method to separate people and sneaked into the room in his armor. ”

The Twilight Police Department continued, "Then, I attacked the boss of Manaka who was invited. ”

Maori continued: "In this way, the murderer should be someone who knows a lot about the inside of the museum.

Glancing at the museum staff present, the Twilight Police Department said, "In other words, the murderer is among you." ”

At this time, a phone call said, "The Twilight Police Department, there is indeed a note, and I will send it to you immediately." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "How is Mr. Manaka?"

The police officer on the other side of the phone replied: "I have come out of the emergency room, but the doctor said that he has lost too much blood and is not out of danger now, and he will have to wait until he can wake up." ”

"Well," the Twilight Police Department asked, "what's on that note?"

The policeman on the other end of the phone replied, "There are only two words, 'Wata'." ”

Hanging up the phone, the Dusk Police Department shouted, "Mr. Kuwata!"

Mr. Kuwata immediately asked nervously, "Why, why are you calling my name?"

Standing next to the Twilight Police Department, Mori, who heard the content of the phone call, said, "Maybe I deliberately wore armor to avoid being photographed by the anti-theft camera, but I was still discovered by the boss of Manaka, so I ......"

Mr. Kuwata immediately denied it: "No, it's not me. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, tell me where you were when the murder happened around half past four?"

Mr. Kuwata quickly replied, "At that time, I was alone in the office, doing what the curator told me to do. ”

Director Ochiai confirmed, "Yes, I did ask him to do things. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, that is, no one can confirm at all, whether you were there at the time?"

"Please, please, wait, wait. Mr. Watata hurriedly explained, "I have no motive, I am wronged. ”

"It's useless to hide it, Mr. Watata. Mr. Iijima testified, "You secretly took out the art here and sold it, and the boss Manaka is demanding a huge amount of damages from you, isn't it?"

"That's, that's ......," Mr. Kuwata was speechless.

The Dusk Police Department continued, "Is what he said true?"

Mr. Watada loudly defended: "However, this incident is not related to the murder, and the person who attacked him is not me." ”

"Alright," said the Dusk Police, "by the time my men find out the armor used by the murderer, the truth will be revealed." ”

It's strange, Mr. Kuwata should know that there was an anti-theft camera in that room, why did he choose this room to commit a crime, and wear armor to hide his true face, in order to learn that painting? Conan thought to himself, no, he doesn't seem to care about art, could it be possible that Mr. Kuwata's person came up with such an elaborate design?

Thinking of this, while the Twilight Police Department and Mori were not paying attention, Conan stepped forward and called up the video himself, and re-watched the video when Boss Manaka was writing. While reading it, I thought about why Boss Manaka was so surprised when he saw the note, and why he threw away the pen after writing. Alas, if there is a voice, it may be possible to know who the murderer is.

At this time, two police officers came in with a large bag and reported, "The Twilight Police Department found the armor in the cabinet in Wata. With that, he opened the bag, revealing a blood-stained suit of armor.

Mr. Kuwata exclaimed, "I don't know how this is possible. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "What else do you have to say now?"

"It's not me," exclaimed Mr. Wata, "he's my boss, how could I possibly want to kill him." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?"

Mr. Kuwata said helplessly: "Actually, the theft of art was done by the boss of Manaka, so that the museum could not receive the commission, so that the museum could only exhibit its own things. And the same thing, if it takes a long time, no one will come to see it, in this case......"

Director Ochiai said, "He will be able to smoothly acquire the museum at a low price." ”

"Not bad. Mr. Watata continued, "And he bought all the art, so he asked me for compensation, but we were acting, so I had no motive at all."

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Of course, no one knows about this, right?"

"No, that's good. Mr. Kurota replied.

At this time, Maori walked over and looked at the armor and said, "It's a pity that good art has become waste." ”

"Not really. Mr. Iijima explained, "It's just a reproduction for decoration, and it's really the armor I saw Mr. Watata bring in during the day." ”

Maori said, "Oh, it's the armor that Boss Manaka was holding when he talked to him, and it turned out to be a replica." ”

By the way, Conan thought to himself, it was just a copy, so even if Mr. Kuwata's actions were rude, Director Ochiai didn't say anything. And if he moves in, that means he knows where he is, and he can come in and find out and wear it, so that he can reduce the chance of being discovered. And because he has a relationship with the boss of Manaka in private, he can also let the boss of Manaka wait for him there.

Mr. Iijima continued, "Yes, the armor used to commit the murder is a replica, so the real thing should not have been ruined. Then he looked around and said, "And the other works of art don't seem to be damaged." ”

"Oh," Maori said, "that's good luck." ”

No, looking at the wall near the scene of the crime, Conan thought to himself, there was an explanation card but no painting was hung, the murderer removed it in advance, in order to protect the art from stains of blood, the murderer was indeed a person in the art museum, and a person who cherished art. And Mr. Kuwata......

Wait a minute, Director Ochiai said, "I like all the works here, just like my children." Conan thought to himself that if the murderer was him, it would be easy to get Mr. Wata's alibi to be attested, and he also knew where Mr. Watada had put his armor, because he had ordered it. Also, he could easily get Boss Manaka to wait for him there. And there is also a motive to kill the boss of Manaka.,The boss of Manaka wants to turn his beloved art museum into a hotel.,If he really loves these works of art like he loves his son.,His motive is not small.。

Also, if that's the case, then the matter of the note can make sense, because the name on the note is the name of his subordinates, not the name of the murderer, so the real boss will be surprised. But why did he put the pen ...... By the way, Conan thought to himself, because the boss wanted to write the name of the real murderer, but the pen couldn't write it, so he threw it away in a fit of anger.

Thinking of this, Conan scratched his head and said that it made sense, but what about the evidence? It turned out that the murderer should have planned to blame Mr. Watata, and he should have prepared another pen, so that the police would think that the words on the note were the death information of the boss of Manaka, but now, ......

Looking at Mei Daiko, who was chatting with Lan, and Yamazaki, who was sitting next to him and pretending to sleep, Conan thought to himself, now he shouldn't have a chance to change.

At this time, a police officer came and handed the note in the hands of the boss of Manaka to the Twilight Police Department.

Taking the bag of notes, the Twilight Police Department took a look at it and handed it to Mr. Wata.

Mr. Wabata took the bag, was stunned when he saw it, and then exclaimed, "No, it's impossible." Then he accidentally dropped the bag on the ground.

Conan immediately rushed up to pick up the bag and handed it to the Twilight Police Department, of course, with a few glances along the way. Sure enough, Mr. Kuwata's name was on the note, and it was only his name, Conan thought as he looked at it, and there were indeed traces on it that he had scribbled with a pen that could not be written.

Taking the bag, the Twilight Police Department complimented, "Good job, kid." Then he said to Mr. Kuwata, "Now you have nothing to say." ”

"I ......," said Mr. Wata, "it's not me. ”

At this time, the forensic personnel came to report that the pen had been found, and because Boss Manaka had thrown it on top of a pair of armor, so he had only found it now.

I took the bag of pens and looked at it, it was a commemorative pen, with the words "50th Anniversary of the Rice Flower Art Museum" written on it, and the Dusk Police Department exclaimed: "This pen is quite exquisite." ”

Director Ochiai explained, "This is a ballpoint pen specially made for the 50th anniversary of the Rice Flower Art Museum this year, and as long as you are a staff member, everyone will have it. ”

The forensic officer said, "By the way, the Dusk Police Department, this pen can't be written." ”

"What?" shouted the Dusk Police Department in surprise.

"It's not me, it's not me," Mr. Wataa immediately smiled happily, "how can I write my name with a pen that can't be written." ”

Maori immediately asked, "What do you mean you can't write?"

"You just can't write something on paper. The forensic officer explained, "When we found it, the tip of the pen was exposed, and it may have been broken by Boss Manaka. We checked and there was quite a bit of oil in there. ”

"Uh......" Mr. Watata immediately stopped laughing again.

The Twilight Police Department said, "Then, Mr. Wata, please come with us to the station." ”……
