Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 21 Humans will die if they are killed, but demons cannot be killed

Ok?
Everyone heard such an explanation from the curator of the art museum, and at the same time saw that the curator was wearing a pair of polished leather shoes.

"Curator. You."

Although no one, including Conan, knows why Director Ochiai lied in such a place, everyone turned their suspicious eyes on Director Ochiai.

"Master Ochiai, could you please explain?"

Facing the inquiry from the Megure Police Department, Director Ochiai's eyes widened, and his hands, which were so powerful just now, were trembling like Parkinson's.

In fact, it is not that Ochiai Juzen's brain is completely devoid of explanations for reference at this time.

For example, I am old and forget, or tidy up socks and insoles, but I am about to say something wrong.

But the most troublesome thing now is that Ochiai Shiquan doesn't know what Qin Zhibo saw.

If Qin Zhibo really saw his actions at that time, then he would only paint more and more black and white until the police and detectives fully discovered his tactics.

But before he squatted down, he had clearly made sure that no one around would pay attention to his little movements. How did this detective surnamed Qin see it?
When Director Ochiai was so entangled that he couldn't say a word, it was Qin Zhibo who broke the deadlock.

"Since Director Ochiai is getting old and 'forgot' what he did just now, let me explain."

"You put this on the ground, then picked it up and put it in the left inner pocket of your suit."

As he spoke, Qin Zhibo rolled it up with a handkerchief, and showed the ballpoint pen he brought from the crime scene just now.

Director Ochiai: My ballpoint pen!

Conan: My handkerchief!
Curator Ochiai was extremely surprised at this moment.

Director Ochiai's original calculation was to let the police find the ballpoint pen by themselves, and then confirm the authenticity of the death message through the video.

But unexpectedly, not only did Qin Zhibo pick up this important ballpoint pen, but he also let Qin Zhibo see the whole process of his "stealing" and even knew that the ballpoint pen he replaced was in the left pocket of his suit.

In fact, Director Ochiai didn't know. If it wasn't for the sudden addition of an investigation point in his field of vision, Qin Zhibo would not have cared about Director Ochiai's small actions at that time.

As for why Qin Zhibo's description was so accurate, it was as if he saw it with his own eyes.

This is of course because Qin Zhibo did see
"Sorry, I need to check your belongings."

Officer Megure was not polite, and directly put his hand into the left pocket of Curator Ochiai's suit, and took out a ballpoint pen of the same style as the scene of the crime.

"Another ballpoint pen?"

"How is this going?"

Police officer Megure originally thought that he could find some great physical evidence, a murder weapon, etc., but it turned out that it was just a pen.

But with Qin Zhibo's testimony, combined with the video he saw just now, and the price of getting a fist on the head in exchange for a glance at the note with the death message, the suspicious points in Conan's brain finally connected. Line up.

However, although Conan understood, the police officer Megure and Mori Kogoro next to him still didn't understand.

So Conan reminded in a childish voice: "The curator must have replaced this pen because of the difference between the two pens."

"For example, the difference between writing and not being able to write."

Under Conan's reminder, Mumu hurriedly used two pens to write and draw on the paper, and found the difference.

At this time, Kogoro Mori finally slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "I understand!"

"The note with the death message just now was actually prepared a long time ago, and when Boss Zhenzhong was attacked, he used words to make him notice this note, and left him a note that he couldn't write. pen."

"In this way, judging from the silent video, it's like Boss Zhenzhong wrote the death message after being attacked by a prisoner, and you can blame others!"

After Mori Kogoro's explanation, Officer Megure also understood the technique at this time.

"So it is!"

"As expected of Brother Maori!"

Officer Megure patted Mori Kogoro on the back enthusiastically, but in Conan's eyes, he resolutely denied Mori Kogoro's credit.

Not to mention that Mori Kogoro made these reasonings under his own prompting, even he himself only understood this method under the testimony of Qin Zhibo.

In other words, the whole process of solving the case is like this.

In the short period of time after the discovery of the body and the arrival of the police, Qin Zhibo had already understood the method of this case.

It's just that Qin Zhibo didn't know who arranged this trick at the time, so he couldn't identify the prisoner.

However, the prisoner had to replace the ball pen that could not write that was thrown away by the boss, otherwise the trick would be exposed immediately.

So Qin Zhibo has been waiting, whoever is waiting to replace the pen will be the criminal.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Qin Zhibo to fully capture Director Ochiai's little movements when everyone relaxed his vigilance, including himself in a hurry to go to the monitoring room to check the video.

Therefore, if the reasoning ability is ranked according to the cracking speed of this case, Conan thinks it is like this
Qin Zhibo>Conan>Moori Kogoro>Officer Megure

Conan even faintly felt that when he felt like Watson and Qin Zhibo was Sherlock Holmes, Qin Zhibo had already seen through the method of the case and tested himself.

Conan didn't feel the huge oppression caused by the gap in reasoning ability from many people.

In other words, in terms of reasoning, only one person Conan is convinced.

Yusaku Kudo
But why can this person allow himself to experience this gap in reasoning ability?

Where is he holy?

Under the hammer of all parties, Director Ochiai finally announced his plea, raised his head proudly, and told his criminal motives.

It turned out that the plan of Boss Manaka to transform the art museum into a hotel made the curator Ochiai, who had been running the art museum for decades, feel murderous.

In his eyes, the art museum is sacred and his own child, and he does not allow "demons" like the real boss to get involved.

As for why Kubota was blamed, it was because Kubota had been caught by the curator for stealing art from the museum before, and he knelt down and begged for mercy, so he relented and didn't call the police.

But after that, Director Ochiai discovered that he still hadn't repented, and he treated the artworks in the museum roughly, and recently the artworks in the museum were lost again.

So this time Ochiai Curator is determined to punish him in his own way.

In the heart of Ochiai curator, Kubota, who steals and sells artworks, is also a "devil".

Hearing this, Officer Megure asked the two men next to him to control Kubota.

"Mr. Kubota, you have been arrested for theft."

"But the recent art theft in the art museum is really not my fault!"

Kubota denied it with all his strength and pretended to be innocent, but police officer Mugure was stern and selfless, and asked his subordinates to take Kubota away first.

Looking at Kubota who was taken away, Director Ochiai looked at the painting "Punishment from Heaven" and expressed emotion.

"It seems that although the devil was killed by the righteous knight, the knight was also baptized by the evil blood and polluted by the devil."

Just as the curator Ochiai, who was handcuffed, was about to turn around and leave with the police, a voice came leisurely.

"But only humans can be killed, and real demons"

"It's unkillable."
