Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Silver Bullet Triumphs

The crowd came to the monitoring room.

Footage from surveillance cameras in the Hell Gallery was brought up.

At about half past four, the deceased, Mr. Sanada, came to the Hell Exhibition Hall.

"Will the murderer be next?" Officer Twilight and the others looked at the screen expectantly.

Zhu Xing Xiushu and others also stood together, waiting for the show to be staged.

In the picture, Mr. Sanada looks at his watch from time to time with an impatient face.

"Is he waiting for the murderer?" Miyamoto Ato spoke suddenly.

"Because it's only when I'm at an appointment, I care so much about the time, and I keep looking at my watch or something...... I know, the murderer invited him to the hell exhibition hall and then killed him, which also means that the murderer may have been hiding in the exhibition hall for a long time, waiting for him to appear. The white-haired boy said thoughtfully.

"Miyamoto has a point." Hideki thought for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, he wears a watch himself, and when waiting for someone, he will glance at the time every few minutes.

"But where would the murderer hide if he hid in the hell exhibition hall in advance?" Officer Twilight and the others had already paused the video when Miyamoto Aito spoke, and asked at this moment.

"There's a lot of armor in the Hell Gallery, and the armor is meant to be worn by people, so people can hide it inside...... the white-haired boy nodded.

Put on the armor and go to the exhibition hall full of armor, plus the dim environment, the average person should not be able to see it.

After all, not everyone has the same six-eyes as he does.

"If that's the case, don't you ......," Officer Twilight touched his chin.

"Quick, keep playing the video." Hurriedly urged.

So the surveillance video continued to play.

In the picture, a knight's armor suddenly moves.

Swinging his sword, he slashed at Mr. Sanada.

That's how the wound on the corpse, which stretched from the shoulder to the abdomen, was cut.

Without killing him with a single blow, Mr. Sanada hurriedly escaped, and the knight approached step by step with a steady pace.

In a panic, Mr. Sanada found a note and a pen on the table, he looked at the note with a shocked expression, quickly took out a pen and wrote and drew on the note, and then angrily threw the pen out.

Immediately afterwards, he was choked by the neck by the knight, pierced with a sword, and nailed to the wall.

It's the same as the previous painting called Heavenly Punishment.

The righteous knight judges the sins and stains them with blood.

The cold moon also became a blood moon.

"It's like a murderous art show...... someone lamented.

Why did the gentleman look shocked? Right where he got the note......" Miyamoto said again.

"Go back and see." Officer Twilight commanded.

So the officer rewinded the video.

It stopped at Mr. Sanada holding the note, showing a shocked expression.

"Did he see anything on paper? But there were only two words on the paper...... "The white-haired boy was thoughtful."

Sure enough, it was because he found out who the real murderer was, but the murderer left a note with someone else's last name written on it, which made him feel very angry and wanted to expose it, so he used a pen to write the name of the real murderer, but why did he throw it away angrily? Is it because of that pen...... Can't do it? Write the name of the real murderer. The white-haired teenager continued to analyze.

"But we've tried that pen, and we can write it." Officer Twilight spoke.

But in the video, he angrily took a pen and wrote it on a piece of paper and then threw it away, right? But the pen they picked up, the tip of the pen was shrunk inside, it was not made by the deceased, nor did we do it, it could only be that the murderer did it, and the pen we picked up was fake evidence, and the murderer deliberately put it there. The white-haired young man nodded seriously from the beginning to the end, and said with an affirmative face.

"It's true that when we picked it up, the tip of the pen was shrunk inside." Kikukawa Seiichiro, Jiang Shouhuang and Takizawa Shin also glanced at each other, nodded and said.

"Show me the note again." Hideki held out his hand to Officer Twilight.

Officer Twilight handed him the note.

Hideki held up the note to the light source.

"There are scratches, and usually if you write on paper with a pen or ballpoint pen without ink, you will leave marks." Hideki looked at it, put down the note and spoke.

"The pen that died was not the same one we picked up."

"The murderer really wanted to set the blame on the guy named Wata, I'm afraid that the armor was also placed in a place related to the guy named Wata." The stars sneered, and opened their mouths in a lofty manner.

"Isn't this pen a souvenir of the 50th anniversary of the Rice Flower Art Museum? There should be all the members of these art museums present, look for it, and see who can't use the pen, who is the murderer. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were open, and he said in an unscrupulous tone.

"Speaking of which, the position of the note and ballpoint pen, as well as the position of the armor, are actually calculated in advance, so they can be done in one go as shown in the video......," Miyamoto Aito said, holding the doll bear in both hands, and spoke again.

"So what Mr. Aoyagi said before, about the news that the medieval art museum will have armor moving around on its own at night, in fact, the truth is that the murderer is doing exercises in advance." Analyzed in a speculative tone.

After all, technique does need to be practiced.

If you do it for the first time, whatever you do will be more or less jerky and stiff.

Just like when he first practiced piano and violin, his fingers were stiff as if they were not his own.

"Officer Twilight, found the bloody armor from the cabinet in Kuwata." A police officer approached with a bag of armor.

"yes, I see." Officer Twilight nodded calmly.

It is already known that the real murderer framed it, so there is nothing surprising about it.

"Find out who is there to see who has a pen that doesn't work." He commanded.

"No need to look for it, I did it." Director Ochiai stood up and let out an ethereal sigh.

He has gray hair, a gray beard, and long gray eyebrows.

Unlike Miyamoto Aito's pure white hair, which resembles fluffy clouds, Ochiai's curator is dull and gray with decayed vitality.

"It's true that it was all planned, all to kill that guy Sanada."

"I hid in armor and killed the hopeless demon."

"He doesn't want to take away from me the art I love like a parent."

"But like that painting, the knight killed the demon and was himself contaminated with the demon's blood......" Director Ochiai said in an old voice.

"Anyway, I'm a murderer." His voice was low.

"Heavenly Punishment...... Not only a punishment for the devil, but also a punishment for the knight, otherwise the name of this painting should be called the judgment of the knight. Miyamoto looked at the painting under his sunglasses.

The uncle had told him stories about knights and demons.

At the end of the story, the uncle said:

[The knight, bathed in the blood of demons, eventually becomes the new demon, waiting to be killed by the next knight, again and again, and the story keeps looping.] ]

In front of them, the knight in the painting killed the demon, but he was also bathed in the demon's blood, and the armor on his body was dyed red.

"That's why it's called Heavenly Punishment......" Kikukawa Seiichiro and the three of them suddenly realized.

Miyamoto is amazing! Tell the truth directly!

So are the stars! The two of them are not afraid of corpses at all!

"It seems that the first case of our silver bullet was a big success." Jiang Shouhuang shook his head with a smile and said.

"Miyamoto, come and take pictures." Hideki stood aside and spoke.

"Okay." Miyamoto Aito walked towards him with the doll bear in his arms.

It's so simple.

He learns what the detectives in mystery novels do, and he only needs to string together what he observes to come up with the answer.

When he walked into the exhibition hall, he had already seen the pen on the ground, and when he saw the note in the hand of the deceased, he already knew about the pitfalls of the pen, and it was not difficult for him to know the answer.

Rather, it is more difficult for him to use the speech of a normal person to turn a direct answer into a reasoning process, and to tell it to others.

Fortunately, in order to have a common topic with Shinichi's brother, I read a lot of detective novels.

The other three people also walked over very consciously.

Tetsuya Aoyagi had already raised his camera.

Wait until all five people are standing and press the shutter.

Holding a doll bear, a white-haired boy with a bright smile, holding a football in one hand, a rebellious expression, a young man wearing a tie, Kikuichiro Kikukawa with his hands behind his back, a polite smile, Akira Emori, who smiles, and Shinya Takizawa, who looks shrewd and cunning.

The picture freezes on their smiles.

Edogawa Conan was in a trance on the side.

These five elementary school students actually found the murderer......

And so fast......

Although he had already understood the truth when he saw their discovery, he still had to find a way to hint at others and didn't dare to say it directly, so they preemptively revealed the truth.

But he's Shinichi Kudo, a well-known high school detective, so it's normal for him to find out quickly, right?

But these five people ......

It's really an elementary school student!

And it looks like he's here to join in the fun, the first thing he does when he comes to the corpse is to take pictures, and the first thing he does after catching the murderer is also to take pictures, and the result is actually ......

Really found the murderer?!!

Edogawa Conan fell into deep thought.

Looking at the five people who were constantly changing their poses to take pictures, the incomprehension in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Mori Kogoro also showed a big blow.
