Chapter 404: Heavenly Damnation

"What a very beautiful landscape painting. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiaolan looked at the oil painting in front of her and expressed her heartfelt admiration.

"Oh, this beautiful young lady, and you like this painting very much?" An old man with a white beard growing to his chest stood behind Xiao Lan.

"Ah, I really like this painting."

"Haha, Miss is really discerning. This painting is a work by Picasso, and although it is not famous all over the world, I like it very much. This work, no, I like it very much, they are like my children. ”

"Huh? Sir, who are you? ”

The old man stroked his beard on his chest, "I am the director of this art museum, and my surname is Ochiai." ”

"Director Ochiai, so you're here." Kogoro Mori came from behind, "I've already investigated here, and it doesn't seem like there's anything out of the ordinary." Personally, I think the guard who said that he had armor to move on his own at night should be dazzling. ”

Director Ochiai smiled gently, "yes, the old man thinks so too. I'm sorry for you, Detective Maori. ”

"Haha, there's nothing troublesome that isn't troublesome. I didn't come here in vain to be able to see the art works here for free. ”

Chen Xu and Conan look around the museum, looking for clues to death.

"Cut, the news of the Grim Reaper isn't very accurate. This is obviously an art museum, but he said on the postcard that this is a museum. It seems that the Grim Reaper cannot fully predict the future, at most he can only know a general situation. ”

Conan fiddled with the Super Detective watch in his hand, "In this case, that future diary is impossible. Minmin's sister told me that a mobile phone that can predict the future can receive a future situation every 10 minutes. ”

Chen Xu disagreed, "Even if it's really that thing, it's useless, because I don't belong to the future." Everything here can change because of my presence. ”

While the two were collecting clues, Director Ochiai was reprimanding a man named Yakida. The reason is that when he took down the art on the wall, he did not wear gloves as required.

Director Ochiai was very angry, and immediately ordered Kuroda to stop working, and asked his assistant Iijima to take over the work for Kurota and take down the art works on the wall one by one.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked into the art museum, accompanied by several people. He glanced around the gallery a few times, then pointed at some parts of the museum.

A man next to him was holding a drawing in his hand, as if explaining something to the man.

Director Ochiai saw the man with an extremely disgusted expression on his face.

The middle-aged man also saw Director Ochiai, and he walked in the direction of the director, "Director Ochiai, it's still the same here as before, and there are no people at all." It's going to be closed in 10 days, so you'd better clean up all the rubbish before then. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man, accompanied by his entourage, walked towards the inner exhibition hall of the art museum.

Xiaolan asked puzzledly, "Curator, is this place really going to be closed?" ”

Director Ochiai sighed helplessly, "Yes, because of poor management, I sold this place to that Manaka boss." Before the sale, he clearly promised that he would continue to run the art museum, but he did not expect that after signing the contract, he repented and wanted to change this place into a hotel. ”

Iijima, the assistant to the curator, scolded angrily: "This hateful guy wants to transform this 50-year-old art museum into a hotel, he must not die well!" ”

Director Ochiai sighed again, "It's all my fault that I didn't put the continued operation of the museum as a clause in the contract. Alas, forget it, you go ahead and visit, the old man is going to take a break. ”

The crowd continued to visit the museum.

Xiaolan took the schematic map of the art museum, led the way in front, and took everyone to visit one by one in order. The Sky Exhibition Hall, the Ocean Exhibition Hall, and the Earth Exhibition Hall, each with a different theme, will feast everyone's eyes

Soon, the sun was about to set, and the museum was starting to get a little dark.

Maori Kogoro urged vigorously, "Xiaolan, it's not early, I see that this place is about to close, let's go back early." ”

Xiaolan said impatiently: "I know, it's rare to have the opportunity to visit the art museum, Dad, why are you in such a hurry to go back." Hey, wasn't it forbidden to enter here? ”

Just before that, on the passage into the exhibition hall in front of you, there was a sign that read, "No entry is allowed unless you are a member of the museum." Now, the sign that was placed here is gone, and it is estimated that the staff opened the exhibition hall again after completing their work.

Xiaolan said happily: "Dad, let's go back after visiting this exhibition hall." Huh? It's called the Hell Pavilion, which is a strange name. ”

Chen Xu's nose flapped slightly, and he smelled a strong bloody breath. He whispered to Conan, "Conan, it seems that your Reaper Schoolboy's power has come into play again. ”

When Conan heard this, he rushed into the exhibition hall and found a dead body. A knight's sword from the West pierced the throat of the deceased and pinned him to the wall. The corpse was about thirty centimeters above the ground, and blood was still flowing down the corpse.

"Conan, why are you running around again?" Xiaolan chased after her, screaming in fright at the dead body nailed to the wall.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Maori Kogoro ran in, followed the direction of Xiaolan's finger, and saw the dead body as well. "Homicide! Hurry up and notify the police. ”

Xiaolan ran out of the exhibition hall in a panic, looking for a phone to report the crime.

Chen Xu walked into the exhibition hall and pointed to a painting opposite the corpse, "You see, the death of this deceased is exactly the same as in the painting." ”

Everyone looked back, and sure enough, it was just as Chen Xu said. This large scroll, titled "Heavenly Damnation", depicts a righteous knight subduing a demon. Does the murderer kill according to the scene in the picture scroll implies that the deceased was a person with a notorious deed?

Conan walked up to Chen Xu and asked in a low voice, "Did you already know that there would be a murder here?" You know there will be a murder, why not stop it in advance? Do you have to let innocent people die in order to find that Grim Reaper? ”

Chen Xu shook his head, "I'm not a person who never forgets, I can remember every plot here clearly." What we have to consider now is whether this dead person was killed by a normal person, or whether the Grim Reaper killed it. ”

Conan took a few deep breaths, "I was a little out of control just now, I'm sorry. You're right, we should hurry up and find the killer. Whether it's death or anyone else, I will never let them escape the law. ”
