Chapter 45: Sudden wit
This surveillance can only capture the picture, and does not have the function of recording sound. The boss of Manaka in the surveillance has a pale face and trembles all over his body, acting in a bloody mime.
From his left shoulder to his back, there was a hideous wound in an instant, and at the same time, the force of the slash pushed him aside, and he clutched his bleeding shoulder, and sat between the corner of the wall and the table.
The knight also rushed forward a few steps due to inertia, he got down on one knee with his back to Boss Manaka, and then maintained this cool shape and did not move.
"......", Bai Shu thought to himself that if it was him, he would definitely have to take advantage of the armor to pretend to be forced, jump up and kick it from behind.
However, the brain circuit of the boss is obviously different, and when he saw the armor stop, he had no intention of resisting, but tore a label from the wall and picked up a pen from the table, wanting to leave a death message.
However, as soon as he put pen to paper, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his expression became desperate.
At this moment, the knight suddenly turned his head to look at him. The metal helmet collided against the armor, and through the screen, it seemed that a soft "click" could be heard.
Boss Manaka was so shocked that he threw the pen out, and the paper ball crumpled into a ball and clenched it in his hand, as if he wanted to swallow it and destroy the corpse.
It's a pity that the knight moves faster.
He turned around and slashed Manaka in the chest, then grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air, nailing him to the wall with his sword.
The paper was left in the clenched fist of Boss Manaka.
The action of Boss Manaka writing was a little abrupt, but because the knight was standing in front of the screen at that time, blocking half of Boss Manaka's body, the attention of the people watching the surveillance was all absorbed by this moving armor, and almost no one noticed Boss Manaka's small movements.
After the knight finished killing, he calmly walked to the door, leaving behind a bloody place. From a surveillance point of view, this composition is actually quite good.
Mori Kogoro felt familiar, "This is a parody of that painting!" ”
While Mori Kogoro was reporting various information to the Twilight Police Department, Conan stared at the screen thoughtfully, and he secretly rewinded and rewatched it while the adults weren't paying attention.
He noticed the small movements of Boss Manaka.
After watching the surveillance, Bai Shu didn't stay any longer, he left the guardhouse and returned to the scene of the crime.
At this time, the police officer who handled the corpse happened to dig out the note from the corpse, and a group of people were very happy, and they were holding the phone to inform the Twilight Police Department, thinking that the case was about to be solved.
Bai Shu glanced at it from a distance, and there were three big characters written on it: クボタ.
This is the katakana of "Kuwada", there are not too many people with the surname this, and among the employees of this art museum, there happens to be only one - the one who dismantled the painting without gloves and was scolded by Ochiai.
In fact, if you look closely, you can find that there are some colorless scratches on the note, but the police officers are too excited to pay attention to this abnormality.
At this moment, Maori Kogoro and others also rushed to the clue found by Conan, and a group of people went straight to the small note, and after reading it, they began to ask for Kuwata's alibi.
The soul of Boss Manaka squatted next to him, biting his fingers angrily, "Although Kuwata owes me money...... But he wasn't the one who killed people! ”
It's a pity that no one can hear him.
Conan ran over with the crowd, and when he looked up, he found that the white tree was already here, and he was not surprised by the strangeness.
He found ...... I seem to have gotten used to it.
After a pause of two seconds, Conan asked him, "Brother Naoki, have you found the murderer?" ”
So far, he didn't have a clue who the prisoner was, and he didn't know where Bai Shu's reasoning was going, and he subconsciously wanted to make a comparison.
"yes, who the hell is it?" As a result, Bai Shu threw the problem back as it was.
"......", okay, this kind of reply seems to be used to it.
Although he still didn't know whether Shiraki knew the murderer or not, Conan didn't break the casserole to ask the end as before, but wisely chose to leave Shiraki and go to see the note by himself.
Conan is actually a little unwilling to admit defeat, and he believes that if he is given a little more time, he will definitely be able to solve the case.
However, I must admit that having such a teammate with a fantasy style - although this thing is a bit annoying - is still a lot more reassuring, and if something goes wrong, there are still people who can find the truth.
Conan listened to the police interrogation of Kuwata with his ears pricked up, and ran to his memory to fumble around the armor, and then managed to find a pen from the ground.
At the back of the crowd, a pair of eyes were staring at him silently.
When Conan saw the pen, Ochiai suddenly covered his mouth and coughed breathlessly, turned around and walked out.
It stands to reason that as suspects or witnesses, it is not convenient for them to move around now.
But in the eyes of the police, an old man with gray hair obviously didn't look like a murderer, and when the director of the Ochiai Pavilion went out, the police officer guarding the door also grabbed him and asked if he needed to help, but he was refused.
The police officer subconsciously followed him for two steps, only to stop worriedly, and was about to return to his post, when suddenly another person slipped by, and he was stunned, "Eh, wait a minute!" ”
"I'm not an employee of the museum, I'll go to the bathroom." , Bai Shutou threw down two sentences without replying.
"Oh......", remembering that he seemed to be with Mori Kogoro, and the police didn't stop him again.
As soon as Director Ochiai crossed the corner, he stopped coughing. He walked all the way into the men's bathroom, and after a pause, pulled a pen out of his pocket.
The pen was stained with wisps of blood, and it had dried up a little.
Director Ochiai walked to the toilet, looked down at the drain, and gestured with the pen, thinking that it might be blocked, so he returned to the sink and decided to rinse the pen and throw it out of the window.
It was only when his hand caught the faucet that the other hand suddenly reached out silently from behind his back and pressed on his withered and old hand.
Director Ochiai sighed in his heart, and raised his head suddenly, and in the mirror in front of him, his slightly panicked appearance was reflected, and a young man with a calm face behind him.
"That's not interesting." , Bai Shu lowered his eyes and looked at the pen in his hand, "In chivalry, there is no framing and evasion, since you dare to touch the blood of evil spirits, you should be ready to face the punishment of heaven, you are doing this now...... Not quite legally. ”
The old man is actually a little more witty than in the original world line, but fortunately he keeps an eye on it.
"......", Director Ochiai twisted the faucet vigorously, but he didn't twist it, and the young man's hand strength was not small, much stronger than the one who could only write a will.
He finally gave up, sighed, and tried to pull his hand out, and Bai Shu also took the opportunity to relax, took a half step back, and the two stood opposite each other in front of the mirror.
Director Ochiai was speechless for a moment, looking down at the pen in his hand, the slender ballpoint pen had not had time to rinse, and the blood stains on it had reached his fingers, which was a little sticky.
