Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

"Well, the deceased is the owner of a real estate company, Mr. Kenichiro Manaka. He was stabbed with a sword on his back and had a wound on his throat. The cause of death was that the steel sword pierced his throat and he died directly."

Inspector Megure looked at the body on the ground with a serious face.

His eyes were wide open.

His pupils were dilated.

His mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, and blood was dripping from his mouth.

The scene of death was exactly the same as the work of Heaven's Punishment hanging on the wall.

"Are you the first to discover the body?" Officer Megure stared at Shiraishi Takeshi and Miyano Akemi with sharp eyes.

Because Shiraishi Takeshi was now wearing a simulated human skin mask, Officer Megure did not recognize Shiraishi Takeshi.

"Yes, officer, we meet again!"Bai Shi Wu hugged Miyano Akemi tightly in his arms and responded

"We meet again? We know each other?"Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

"Did the officer forget? Last time at the Rice Flower Library, we met……"Shiraishi Takeshi said

"Beihua Library, hiss... Oh, oh! I see, your name seems to be Mr. Huiyuan Wu, right?"Inspector Megure suddenly realized

"Yes!" Bai Shiwu nodded.

"Mr. Huihara, Ms. Huihara, when you found the body, did you see anyone acting suspiciously?"Inspector Megure asked seriously.

"No!"

Shiraishi Takeshi answered decisively:"Because I am a detective by profession, after I found the body, I immediately asked Mingmei to inform Director Ochiai and others, and turned on the lights in this exhibition hall. During this period, I did not see anyone leave from the door. Unless there are other secret doors in this exhibition hall!"

"Well, Mr. Huibara is a detective! Then - Director Ochiai!"

Inspector Megure nodded and asked Director Ochiai in a stern voice:"Apart from the main entrance, are there any other entrances and exits to this hell exhibition hall?"

"No, no, there is only this one entrance and exit!"

Director Ochiai said with certainty, and then seemed to remember something, pointing his hand towards the ceiling of the exhibition hall:"Officer! Maybe the surveillance camera has recorded the murderer! Because we always have video surveillance!"

"Um——"Officer Megure looked up at the surveillance camera, and then a group of people rushed to the guard room of the art museum.

""Ah! Got it! Got it!! We found the video of that exhibition hall!" the security guard shouted excitedly.

"Hehe... this murderer is so stupid. The whole process of the murder was recorded. How can we not know who the murderer is?" Director Ochiai laughed sarcastically.

"Ah! The video has started!"

"Shh, be quiet!"

"The deceased is Mr. Kenichiro Manaka……"

"He seems to be looking for someone?"

"Stopped in front of a statue of armor!"

"Who is the murderer? Come out, murderer! I want to remember your face! Everyone stared at the screen, waiting for the murderer to appear.

The next moment!

In the video.

In the dim hell exhibition hall

"Moved!"Shiraishi Takeshi stared at the armored puppet holding a sword behind Kenichiro Manaka with a playful look.

Its head suddenly moved slightly.

"Huh——"

"ah!?"

"Varied??"

""What!!"

Just as everyone was screaming in fear, on the screen, the armored puppet behind Kenichiro Manaka slowly raised the sharp steel sword in his hand.

With one blow, it directly chopped the defenseless Kenichiro Manaka's back. Kenichiro

Manaka fell to the ground, looking at the armored puppet in fear, and then the steel sword in the hand of the armored puppet fell, and the sharp and ruthless sword tip directly pierced into his neck.

"The armor actually moved on its own?!"Inspector Megure was full of disbelief.

"This must be a punishment from God. Even God must kill him to stop him from destroying the artworks in the museum!" Iijima Koki started muttering to himself.

"A knife stabbed in the throat!"

Shiraishi Wu frowned, quickly replaying the video content in his mind, thinking:"If I remember correctly, Mingmei and I saw a no-entry sign placed on the road leading to the exhibition hall at around nine in the morning, and then at ten o'clock, after visiting all the exhibition halls, it had been removed."

"Well... from the video, the crime happened at around 9:30, so the sign must have been set by the murderer."

Inspector Megure said sternly,"The murderer must have put up the sign in advance to avoid being seen, and then hid in the exhibition hall in armor, waiting for Boss Manaka to show up, and then took advantage of him to commit the crime!"

"Officer, I think that Boss Manaka must be here to keep an appointment with the murderer!" Shiraishi Takeshi said decisively.

"What? Mr. Huihara, why do you say that?"Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

"Please watch the video carefully. After entering the exhibition hall, Mr. Manaka has been looking around quickly. It is impossible for him to appreciate the works of art. In addition, he has been looking at his watch. This should be evidence that he has made an appointment to meet someone here!"Shiraishi Wu said confidently

"Yeah, that makes sense.……"Officer Megure nodded in agreement.

"From this, it seems that the murderer is very clear about the relationship between the signboard, the location of the armor and the location of the crime scene. This murderer is quite familiar with the art gallery. This means that the murderer is among you, the art gallery staff!" Shiraishi Wu speculated confidently.

"What!?"

"How could it be us?"

""Don't slander me!"

Director Ochiai and dozens of art museum staff members retorted with ugly expressions.

At this time, Shiraishi Takeshi said again:"Moreover, the deceased left a death message before he died!"

"Death! Death! News!"Inspector Megure looked over hurriedly.

"Yes. You can see in the video that when the murderer made the first move, he accidentally fell in front of Boss Manaka, and Boss Manaka seemed to have noticed something, so he tore off the cards on the wall and picked up the pen on the ground—and wrote something!!"

After the words fell,

Inspector Megure and others stared at the movements of the deceased on the screen with wide eyes.

"Throw away the pen after writing!"

"Then he crumpled the paper into a ball and held it in his hand.……"

"Is that paper……"

"Still in the hands of Boss Manaka!!!"

"Why does this guy give me the feeling of Shiraishi's brother? Are the observation skills of detectives so strong nowadays?"

Inspector Megure looked at Shiraishi Takeshi deeply, and the figure of Maori Kogoro suddenly appeared in his mind. He quickly rejected his previous guess:"No, no, no, it turns out that detectives are also a mixed bag!"
