Conan Moslin

Inspector Megure opened one eye and pressed the pause button.

The shot on the screen is exactly the same as the composition of the divine punishment in the Hell Exhibition Hall!

"Wait a minute...where is this composition..." Kogoro Mouri leaned on the monitoring platform and watched carefully.

Li An said bluntly: "Heavenly punishment, the painting you just saw."

"Yes, that's the painting!" Maori Kogoro nodded, "Kuroba, you observe very carefully."

Inspector Megure asked, "Hmm? That painting?"

"It was the painting titled Heaven's Punishment that was hung in front of the victim." Maori Kogoro raised his hand and thought, "I'm afraid he used this method of killing in order to imitate that painting."

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "But the criminal is very bold. If others see him dressed like this, it will cause a commotion."

Maori Kogoro touched his chin and said, "When we passed by here for the first time, we saw a sign prohibiting entry, so we didn't go in."

"It seems that this is the murderer's trick." Inspector Megure nodded.

Li An watched the video and felt that it seemed slightly different from what she remembered.

"Officer Megure, Boss Manaka seemed to have stuffed something into the black cloth just now."

"where is it?"

Li An adjusted the surveillance and pulled the screen back to the place where the armor blocked three-quarters of the camera.

"It was here. He took a piece of paper from the wall next to him, looked at it, and stuffed it into the black cloth at his feet."

Maori Kogoro looked at the expression on Boss Manaka's face seriously: "He looks a little shocked... Why is that?"

"Then, look here." Li An adjusted the surveillance video a little further back. In the video, Manaka picked up something from the table and held it in his hand without letting go until the armor rushed towards him again.

"Let's go back and take a look." Inspector Megure left two officers behind, and then a group of people moved to the scene again.

……

Conan took out a handkerchief, squatted beside the dead boss Manaka, and pulled out the pen.

Because it was already night and it had been about four or five hours since Manaka's death, Manaka's hands began to become somewhat stiff.

"Eh——" Conan pulled the pen back with force.

"oops!"

The pen flew out of his hand, drew a beautiful parabola, and then spun and slid under the table.

"Ah, pen..."

Because he used too much strength, he fell backwards to the ground.

A face suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Conan, what are you doing!" Mao Lilan said angrily, with her hands on her hips, "Don't interfere with the police investigation!"

Conan stood up quickly, putting on an awkward but well-behaved expression: "Sister Xiaolan... I... I dropped something under the table..."

As he said this, he turned over and looked left and right, as if he was really looking for something.

Finally, under the white cloth on the table, he found...

Two pens.

How come there are two???

"Conan~Have you found anything? If you did, we'll go find dad and the others." Seeing that Conan seemed to have found something, Ran Mouri continued.

Conan found that the tips of both pens were not exposed. He wrapped the bloody pen in a handkerchief, took out another handkerchief and was about to take the other one when he heard Mao Lilan urging him, so he quickly put the pen away, got up and said: "Uh... Yeah! I found it!"

"Then let's go."

She pulled Conan up, nodded to the police officer, said sorry, and prepared to walk out.

However, not long after I walked out, I saw the group of people who went to the monitoring room came back.

She pulled Conan back again.

A police officer squatted down and looked at the right hand of the corpse, then shook his head at Officer Megure.

No?

Mao Lilan glared at Conan.

She just felt that Conan must have taken something from there.

Conan reacted and handed the pen he had just found to Officer Megure.

"Inspector Megure, I just found this at the scene!" He raised his handkerchief to the officer.

When Inspector Megure saw the pen, he was a little confused: "What is this..."

"This is the ballpoint pen in Mr. Manaka's hand."

"Here's another one. I found it under the table."

"What? Oh, well done, kid." Inspector Megure took the two pens, took out the blood-stained one first, twisted it with his hand, and the tip of the pen came out.

"Kid, don't mess with the things here!" Maori Kogoro hit Conan on the head lightly, "Don't do it again."

“This is a very high-end pen.”

Director Ochiai explained, "That's a ballpoint pen that was specially customized for the Yūka Art Museum to commemorate its 50th anniversary this year. Everyone involved will have one."

Inspector Megure twisted the ballpoint pen, pulled out the tip, and drew something on the notebook.

"The pen in Mr. Manaka's hand... can't write, right? Hmm? This one works very smoothly."

At this time, Officer Takagi took back the evidence bag and handed it to Officer Megure.

Inspector Megure took the black cloth from the bag and unfolded it.

"This piece of cloth..." Li An took a serious look and suddenly said, "This piece of cloth looks a bit like the magic cloth commonly used by magicians? How did it appear here?"

As long as I say it myself, this piece of cloth was not left here intentionally by me.jpg

Director Ochiai glanced at Li An and thought, no wonder that man is her friend, he is also a magician?

Li An asked the police officer for a pair of gloves, then spread out the black cloth and shook it. A lot of clotted blood fell out. She looked at the black cloth in its entirety, then took out a piece of blood-stained paper from a hidden pocket in the black cloth and took a look at it first.

The name on the paper was Ochiai.

It’s actually Ochiai?

She was a little surprised, then handed the paper to Inspector Megure.

Officer Megure looked at the paper and turned his gaze to Director Ochiai: "Director Ochiai, could you please explain what this paper means?"

Director Ochiai seemed very calm. He said, "I didn't kill him."

Inspector Megure looked at him and asked about his movements when the murder occurred.

Director Ochiai gave a relatively complete trajectory of his actions. He stated that he was not in the Hell House during this period, but no one could prove that he had been to these places at this time.

Inspector Megure frowned, and at this time, the police officer's voice rang out.

"Officer, we found it!"

"What?" Inspector Megure turned his gaze to the police officer who spoke.

The two officers placed a red bag on the ground, revealing their bloodstained armor.

"We found the armor in Mr. Kubota's locker!"

"Kubota?" Inspector Megure turned his gaze to Kubota. "Isn't he the curator?"

Ochiai still stood there calmly.

Kubota's face turned pale in an instant: "How...how is it possible? I...I don't know anything..."

Inspector Megure's eyes fell on the two people.

One of you two must be lying!
