Chapter 257: I didn't expect that there would be people like you in this world
"Someone's going to die?"
"Brother Xia Ruo, why did you say that someone was going to die?" Conan looked at Xia Ruo in confusion.
"Intuition, my intuition is generally quite accurate," Xia Ruo touched his chin and said vaguely to Conan.
……
"What the hell is going on?"
Conan looked at Xia Ruo, who left to admire the artwork after speaking, with a puzzled expression.
"Why would this guy say someone is going to die, casually? No, maybe he didn't say it casually, there was no need for this guy to make such a joke. ”
"Could it be that someone wanted to prepare a murder plan in the art museum, and he found out."
Conan seemed to think that was a possibility.
Although what Xia Ruo just said seemed like a casual sentence, Conan was a very strict person, and he didn't believe that Xia Ruo just said it casually.
After all, although Conan doesn't like Xia Ruo very much, in Conan's eyes, Xia Ruo is definitely different from Maori Kogoro, and he is a very observant person.
Conan still remembers the words he heard when he and the others went home that night after the Yoko Okino incident was resolved.
……
"Teacher Xia Ruo, you are really amazing, before the police came, I knew that the deceased had committed suicide, even more powerful than my father (Shinichi)," Mao Lilan looked at Xia Ruo adoringly and said.
At that time, before the police came, when Xia Ruo comforted Yoko Okino, he told the truth in advance.
However, Conan didn't know it at the time, and after hearing Xiaolan say this, he knew that Xia Ruo had already deduced the truth.
"Haha, luck."
Xia Ruo just responded with a smile and didn't say anything more.
……
Conan remembers very well that at that time, the guy was with Yoko Okino and coffee, that is, at that time, he had already solved the truth of the case.
is faster than himself, and he didn't look at the other party's search for clues, from that time on, Conan will no longer underestimate Xia Ruo.
Back at the museum, Conan was still thinking about what Xia Ruo had said.
Since he said that, he definitely observed something.
"What did Xia Ruo find? Obviously, we all came to the museum together, and the information we got was the same. ”
"What the hell is it? In this art museum, what did he find, the murder weapon? Or did they find someone who was wrong? ”
Although Conan didn't know what Xia Ruo knew, Conan paid attention to the surroundings and observed the surroundings more carefully.
After all, it is a matter of human life, and Conan will not let go of any details around him.
With a snap, Wakuta accidentally dropped another helmet artwork on the ground.
Boss Manaka saw this scene and looked at Wata with a smile on his face, "You are Wata, I've heard all your rumors, you have to hurry up and get the money ready for me." ”
"Damn!"
Hearing Manaka's words, Wakuta angrily threw the helmet aside again, this way of treating the artwork was much ruder than before.
Only this time, the old curator left without any reaction, 'You appreciate it slowly'.
Conan was surprised.
"It's strange that just now Wakuta just didn't wear gloves, and the curator was so angry, and now he treats the artwork so rudely, but he doesn't seem to see it...... This curator is a little strange. ”
Noticing the abnormal situation, Conan felt more and more that what Xia Ruo had just said was not just casual talk.
"Conan, why are you standing there still?"
Ran wants to ask Conan to come with her to visit another exhibit, but when Ran comes to Conan's side, she finds Conan meditating, as if he didn't hear what she said.
Xiaolan felt that Conan was thinking about something important, so she didn't bother him.
Xia Ruo also noticed this.
"Conan, can you really detect the anomaly before the murderer acts? In that case, it will be much more interesting. ”
……
"No, I can't find any clues, although there is indeed something wrong with the museum, but how can it be deduced that there is no murder that happened."
Conan shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't think of anyone who wanted to kill. Because of this, Conan wondered, what did Xia Ruo find?
In the end, Xia Ruo said it casually, or did he say that his reasoning ability was really not as good as Xia Ruo's.
"Wow, this armor is so handsome."
Xiaolan on the side suddenly said in amazement, she seemed to have seen a certain artwork armor.
Hearing Xiaolan's words, an electric light appeared on the back of Conan's head.
"Armor, by the way, rumors from the museum."
Conan finally thought of the reason why he accompanied Xiaolan to the art museum, and came to this art museum mainly because of the rumor that there was an armor inside the art museum that would move at night.
This rumor is really a bit weird.
Conan approached a young security guard at the museum and looked at him with a curious expression.
"Big brother, do you know the rumors about the art museum? I want to know. ”
The young security guard looked down and realized that it was a child.
It's not surprising that he, after all, is a child, and always likes to hear these bizarre stories.
"Little brother, you also know this rumor, recently many tourists have heard this rumor before visiting our art museum, but, little brother, you really asked the right person, the night the armor was moving, I saw it with my own eyes."
Conan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what did you see at night?" ”
The young security guard thought about it for a moment, as if recalling what had happened that night.
"I was patrolling the museum normally that night, because after the museum was closed, all the lights were turned off, so the museum was quite dark at night, and I just brought a flashlight, and then, I clearly remembered, my flashlight hit a moving armor, which was really scary."
Conan was a little surprised, he had thought that the rumor was just fake news released by the museum to attract visitors, but he could tell from some details of the story told by the young security guard that the security guard was not lying.
In other words, it's true that the armor moves.
There is definitely a deeper reason for such a bizarre thing in an art museum.
"Big brother, have you noticed anything else?"
Conan asked the security guard in front of him.
"What else have you noticed? Let me think about it," the security guard thought about it for a moment, "by the way, I've seen the armor move several times during the night, and besides, the moving armor has a long sword in his hand, which looks pretty sharp, and that sword must be a work of art in the museum." ”
"That's right, thank you, big brother."
After Conan thanked him, his eyes slowly sharpened, and as the information slowly increased, he felt more and more that it was really possible for someone to want to commit a crime in the art museum.
"Sharp swords, armor, night ......"
"In an art museum, outsiders generally don't come in so easily, and this situation has happened many times, there is a high probability that this rumor was made by the insiders of the art museum, and even if it is stealing, there is no need to wear armor to steal, so there must be another purpose."
"Wait a minute!"
Conan seemed to have thought of something final, and his expression became serious, and he looked up, and sure enough, he saw the camera above the museum.
"If, what Xia Ruo said is true, he really found out that someone was going to organize a murder case in the art museum, then if you reasoned from this, the armor was moving, maybe it was the prisoner's steps to plan the murder at night, and as for why he wore the armor, it was to avoid his face being discovered by the museum's camera."
"So...... The one who wants to commit the murder should be the people of the art museum. ”
In Conan's mind, all the people he had just seen flashed through his mind.
"That curator, he did have a strange behavior just now, if he really wanted to kill someone, then the person who was killed should be ......"
Conan jerked his head up and looked around the museum, and at this time, the director, Kuwata, and the boss of Manaka were gone.
"Hopefully my reasoning isn't true, and if it's true, then someone is going to be in danger!"
Conan hurriedly found the young security guard he had just asked.
"Big brother, do you remember? It's the moving armor you saw, in which room did you see it? ”
"Little brother, do you want to see moving armor? I remember this very well. ”
The young security guard gestured in the direction of the hallway.
"It's the end of the corridor, the exhibition room of hell, and there is a very beautiful painting in that exhibition room, called Heavenly Punishment, and the content of the picture in the picture is that the knight kills the demon with a sword, and the armor of the knight in the painting is placed in that room."
"Thank you."
After hearing this, Conan ran straight to the exhibition room in Hell.
"Little brother, you can't run around in the art museum!" The security guard shouted at Conan from behind, but Conan didn't stop in the slightest.
"Conan?"
Xiaolan also saw Conan running in the art museum, and then hurriedly followed.
Conan had ignored all the sounds around him, and now he just wanted to hurry to the showroom.
"I hope I'm wrong, if my reasoning is true, then the exhibition room of hell is the place chosen by the murderer."
Conan rushed to the outside of the exhibition room in Hell and saw a sign prohibiting visitors from entering, which did not want visitors to enter, but Conan completely ignored the sign and went straight inside.
"Ahh
The moment he entered, Conan heard a scream.
Once inside, the exhibition hall of Hell was indeed very dark, but Conan could still see that a man in armor and a sword was trying to do something to Boss Manaka.
Manaka had already been slashed with a sword, and at this time he covered his wound and leaned against the wall in a panic, looking at the armored man in front of him with a frightened expression.
"Don't kill me!"
"Stop!"
Conan hurriedly shouted at the armorer.
Upon discovering that his movements had been discovered, the armored man glanced back at Conan, but did not stop his movements.
Conan rushed up to stop it, but he didn't have time to do it, and he could only watch as the long sword stabbed into the neck of Boss Manaka.
Although the old curator is old, he is definitely a hidden master, and it can be seen from the video in the original work that he is wearing dozens of pounds of armor, and he can still flexibly kill Zhenzhong and nail it to the wall.
And made a look exactly like the one in the painting, which can be perfectly replicated, which is impossible for ordinary middle-aged men to do.
And its killing relaxed and comfortable action does not look like an old man at all.
At this time, the armorer's sword was about to stab Manaka in the neck, and it seemed that no one could save him.
It's just that at that moment, Xia Ruo suddenly appeared in front of the armored man, raised two fingers, and clamped the sharp long sword.
Two fingers, clamping a long sword that stabbed straight with all his might, this scene, just like the plot in a martial arts movie, actually happened in reality.
The armored man snorted, as if he didn't expect such a thing to happen, he desperately wanted to withdraw the long sword, but Xia Ruo's fingers were like iron tongs, and they didn't move.
"Mr. Curator, I really didn't expect that you are so old and have such great strength," Xia Ruo's two fingers strained slightly, and he snatched the long sword from the armorer's hand.
It's like taking away a child's toy,
"Unexpectedly, I was discovered by you before I could do it."
The curator sighed helplessly and took off his helmet.
At this time, he already knew that he had no possibility of continuing to commit murder.
"Young man, how the hell do you know that I want to commit murder, obviously I haven't done too many suspicious actions before, and besides, we just said a word."
The curator looked at Xia Ruo, he wanted to know now, why he hadn't made a move, he had directly exposed, he had placed a sign prohibiting entry outside, if he hadn't really found anything, the other party would not have come to this exhibition hall.
For this day, he planned for so long, in his opinion, this was already a foolproof plan, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.
Where the hell was exposed? He couldn't figure it out at all.
Hearing the old curator's words, Conan also looked at Xia Ruo, he was also very curious, how did Xia Ruo see it, after all, if he didn't have Xia Ruo's reminder, he wouldn't have speculated about what was going on.
"Because of the murderous spirit."
Xia Ruo held the long sword he had snatched from the old curator in his hand and said calmly.
"When you see Mr. Manaka, your murderous aura has already been exposed."
"Is that so? Murderous, hahaha," the old curator couldn't help but laugh, it was a helpless laugh.
"I didn't expect that there are still people like you in this world."
Being able to perceive the murderous aura, coupled with the fact that the other party easily clamped his long sword with two fingers just now, the old curator knew that he was really unlucky and met a master.
Xia Ruo didn't answer.
It didn't take long for Ran and Mori Kogoro to arrive at the exhibition hall in Hell and see the injured Mr. Manaka and the old curator in armor.
"Conan, what's going on here?"
"Someone is injured, call an ambulance!"
……
In the end, the police also arrived, the old curator was also arrested, and the matter of the art museum was also calmed down, during which Mr. Manaka was cut, but in the end, he kept thanking Xia Ruo and thanking Xia Ruo for saving his life.
