Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 10 Imperfect Reasoning
Medieval Art Gallery.

Kogoro rubbed his chin, and started his own simple reasoning.

"The case is generally understood."

Police officer Wang Mumu immediately asked, "Did you find anything, brother Maoli?"

"First of all, the murderer did not take these works of art after the murder, and during the time of the murder, he deliberately placed a no-entry sign at the entrance of the Pavilion of Hell, so I first suspected that this person was an acquaintance who committed the crime. That is, in The few of you who work in the art gallery."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on three people, curator Ochiai with white beard and hair and a calm expression, Kubota the rogue-headed mouse, and Iijima who couldn't believe it.There are also two passers-by who are not distinctive at first glance.

"Also, we just saw that Boss Manaka seems to have written something on the paper. Officer Megure, please ask the forensics department to check the hands of the corpse to see if the note is still there."

Soon, the forensics department got a note with the words "Kubada" from the deceased.

"What? Kubota?"

Officer Mu Mu pointed to Kubota and asked, "Mr. Kubota, where were you when the incident happened?"

Kubota broke out in a cold sweat, and replied tremblingly: "Ah? I was alone in the office doing what the curator asked me to do. It wasn't me, I didn't kill people?"

Officer Mu Mu raised the note in his hand and said, "So, do you have anything to explain?"

Kubota was speechless, but the evidence he got from the deceased was too deadly.

Conan frowned, feeling that something was wrong, he tugged on Kogoro's pants, and motioned Kogoro to show him the note.

Kogoro found a pair of white gloves from somewhere and put them on, took the note from Police Officer Megure, knelt down and observed with Conan.

But he didn't see that Xiaolan was outside the crowd, secretly observing the father and two.

"Uncle, look there are some strange scratches on this note."

Kogoro put the note under the light, and indeed saw a few traces that seemed to be drawn with a waterless ballpoint pen.

Kogoro thought about it: "Conan, is there a possibility that Kubota was originally written on this note, and Boss Zhenzhong wanted to cross out the name and write the name of the murderer after seeing it, but found that the pen did not write not come out."

Conan also thought of this, and he said, "It's very possible, after all, it's really suspicious that Boss Zhenzhong throws away the pen angrily."

Kogoro turned to Police Officer Meguro and asked, "Hey, Officer Megure, haven't you found the pen used by Boss Manaka?"

"found it!"

A forensic department came over with a ballpoint pen in a transparent bag.

Director Ochiai said: "That pen is a souvenir for the [-]th anniversary of the art museum this year, and all the employees here have it."

Conan asked eagerly, "Can that pen be used?"

Kogoro took out the ballpoint pen directly, and Conan was surprised to find that the nib of the ballpoint pen was actually put away.Does a man about to be killed take the time to put the nib away?
Conan fell into a maze of thinking.

Kogoro released the nib and drew on the palm of Conan's hand, it was usable.

"What? Can it be used?"

Both of them are unbelievable.

"Is there a possibility that this pen is not the one used by the real boss?"

Conan looked at the suspicious three people: "Then the switched pen may be on him."

Officer Megure and the others over there were still having a heated discussion, because at this time, a policeman found a blood-stained knight's armor in Kubota's dormitory.

"Conan, come on, I have no idea."

Kogoro simply gave up reasoning, and at this point, the clues are almost completely broken.Conan concatenated all the existing evidence and preliminarily selected a suspect.

Conan suddenly used the cute bastard to pass the level, pretending to be in a hurry to go to the toilet and ran to Director Ochiai: "waaaa~ I can't take it anymore, where is the toilet?"

Using his child's appearance, coupled with the wisdom of a high school student, Conan successfully deceived Director Ochiai's flaws.

Sometimes Kogoro has to sigh, Conan really has a way of doing these show operations.What's more, people's physique can't be generalized. After all, half of the curator's foot is buried in the ground, and he can still lift the boss of Zhenzhong with one hand in extreme anger.

"Ding! The murder case in the art museum is completed, and the degree of completion is average. The reward is 100 experience points. If Director Ochiai pleads not guilty, then the pen is very unconvincing as evidence."

On the way home, Kogoro was frowning. The incident this time was very bizarre, not only the modus operandi, but also the motive of the murder was bizarre, and even the murderer's confession was also bizarre.

To tell the truth, even if the pen in the curator's hand cannot be used, there is actually no way to convict him.

Kogoro was thinking, will he meet a completely unreasonable murderer in the future?

But now that he has 700 experience points, it is king to upgrade as soon as possible.

An Anxin lived a decadent life for a few days, and a letter made Kogoro involved in the incident again.

"On the night of the next full moon, on Moon Shadow Island, shadows will start to disappear again. Please investigate the reason."

This letter, signed by Keiji Aso, was pieced together from words cut from newspapers, and it seemed that the sender was unwilling to disclose more information.

"Moon Shadow Island, it seems to be that...the event where a man disguised himself as a woman to avenge his father, it's really impressive."

At this moment, a call came into the landline at home.

"Hello, Mori Detective Agency."

On the other end of the phone, a man's voice sounded: "There are still two days before the full moon, and the commission fee of 50 yuan has been transferred to your account. You must come."

"Wait a minute, who are you?"

"Keiji Aso from Moon Shadow Island."

Putting down the letter, Kogoro continued to turn on the phone.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Kogoro played video games with Conan, while Xiaolan watched TV in his bedroom.It was all in order to obtain enough personal space, so Kogoro reluctantly bought Xiaolan a separate TV.

But neither Kogoro nor Conan noticed that Xiaolan was hiding outside the door to eavesdrop.

"Have you read the letter, do you have any thoughts?"

While controlling the villain in red shorts to jump around, Conan replied, "I don't have any opinion. Anyway, my uncle has received the commission fee, so I can only go and find out."

"Oh, a child is a child, naive!"

"What? I'm not a child!"

Kogoro borrowed his life from Conan, and continued to play with his blue shorts villain.

"I asked Officer Megure just now, and I learned from him that Keiji Aso died 12 years ago."

Conan froze for a moment, and the little man in red shorts rolled over and fell out of the TV screen.
