Chapter 129 Acting Lessons From Tomorrow

After successfully taking Conan sideways, the next itinerary will be a bit boring.

It is less than ten o'clock in the morning, and the murder will not happen until the museum closes in the afternoon, that is to say, even if the meal time is aside, they will have to wander around this place that basically does not have any valuable works for four or five hours.

This was naturally a kind of torture for the three old men, Shirakawa, Conan and Mouri Kogoro, but Xiaolan enjoyed it very much. She wondered if she remembered the days when she went shopping with her best friends.

Looking at Xiaolan who was listening to the explainer boasting about the profound meaning behind the painting with great interest, Bai Chuan rolled his eyes vaguely.

He didn't see any artistic value in this painting. A circle was drawn with a compass on a piece of white paper. Perhaps because of too much force, the tip of the compass even pierced the paper halfway through.

As far as this thing is concerned, he can draw a truckload of it every minute, and he really doesn't see any charm of art as the lecturer said.

'If the entire museum is full of rubbish like this, then Director Ochiai should just follow the original plot. '

Bai Chuan thought secretly in his heart.

Bai Chuan was actually quite entangled in whether to keep the curator Ochiai and punish the Wuliang real estate developer in other ways.

The curator of the art museum is different from the movie theater owner, yoga training center owner, etc. that he met before. Those people are either honest people who are forced to a desperate fight, or they have to avenge their blood.

But what about Ochiai?

He killed President Manaka, who had resorted to trickery to buy the art museum, in order to prevent the art museum he had built from disappearing.

But the art museum only hired him as the curator, and the name of the appointment is a good description of Ochiai's identity.

If Ochiai went to take revenge on the owner who sold the museum, Shirakawa felt that he could understand his thoughts.If the owner of the art museum took revenge on the real estate businessman Masaka, Bai Chuan would also be able to figure it out.

But it doesn’t make sense for Ochiai to directly take action against Manaka. After all, Manaka is just playing tricks to lower the price of the art museum, not buying and selling by force. Shouldn’t the root of everything be the behind-the-scenes boss who has the idea of ​​selling the art museum?
Even without the patronage of Conan the Grim Reaper this time, Ochiai successfully killed the real estate agent who bought the museum, and blamed all the crimes on the staff who secretly sold the calligraphy and paintings of the museum, eliminating all hidden dangers.

However, as long as the behind-the-scenes boss wants to sell the art museum, Zhenzhong is dead, and Mao Zhong, Ke Zhong and others continue to come forward one after another. Is it possible that Ochiai can really kill all the buyers who come to buy one by one?
It is precisely because of these that Bai Chuan, who was able to solve this incident more than a year ago, has been procrastinating.

He also regards the company as his own home. Tokura Sarahira even has the additional identity of 'Minister Tuogu', but he is very clear about his position.

When Bai Chuan first passed through, Torakura Sanghei was in control of the power. At that time, two of the company's three departments were appointed by him. To put it bluntly, Bai Chuan at that time was just an empty shelf, with the position of president, but No power of president.

But even under such circumstances, Torakura Sanghei still maintained his duty as a subordinate. Although he was very conflicted, he still followed Shirakawa's seemingly unreliable ideas one after another. It can be said that he brought the attributes of loyal ministers to the extreme. .

If Torakura's role is changed to Ochiai, I'm afraid someone will regard the entire Naito Electronics Co., Ltd. as his own property on the day the former president dies!
And according to his investigation, the financial backer behind the art museum is actually the Nobumoto family. This once first-class wealthy family has gradually declined due to various reasons. The biggest requirement for selling the art museum is to obtain a batch of cash flow to make up for the previous losses. The investment owed a shortfall, so the price was not stuck, which gave Zhenzhong a chance.

But no matter how declining the consortium is, it is still a consortium, and it is not comparable to the curator of a small "specially appointed" art museum in Ochiai. Therefore, when the sale agreement was first signed, the old curator did not object.

what is this?Pick up the soft persimmons?

He is not clear about his own position, he is self-reliant, and bullying.Even if such a person has a good brain and good skills, there is no need for him to be under his command after all.

If Atsuko Degawa, who likes to abuse others online, is bad, then curator Ochiai is stupid and bad.

It doesn't matter if the employees are bad, as long as they can understand people's words, they can be useful after all, but stupid and bad people, who knows what kind of moths they can poke.

"what!!!"

The scream interrupted Bai Chuan's contemplation, and when he looked up, he was already alone.

Conan and Xiaolan were all gone. As for Uncle Mao Li, although he looked like a corpse just now, he rushed into the Hell Pavilion like a gust of wind after hearing the exclamation of his precious daughter.

It seems that there is no need to tangle.

Shirakawa shrugged and followed behind into the exhibition hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the oil painting "Heaven's Punishment" was hanging beside the oil painting "Heaven's Punishment", which was exactly the same as the scene on the canvas, with a spear piercing through it, and blood spilled all over the ground.

After calling the police tremblingly, Xiao Lan shrank and hid behind Kogoro Mouri, her face was pale and she couldn't stop retching.

The number of times Xiaolan has seen corpses is not uncommon, but such a bloody and cruel scene is really something she has never experienced before.Kogoro guarded his daughter tightly behind his back, and his expression was also not very good-looking, he could not bear it, he was vigilant, and he was angry.

As for Conan.

The moment he saw the corpse, a certain person completely forgot that he was still wearing a layer of flimsy vest. He stepped forward with his short legs and rushed up.

The detective smells the case!

thump————

thump————

After two muffled sounds, two extra bumps appeared on the top of Conan's head, which were symmetrical from left to right, like a little boy with two buns.

"What kind of fun are you brats doing!"

"Xiao Lan, you take Conan out first, this place is not suitable for women and children."

After stuffing Conan into Xiaolan's arms, Shirakawa turned around and saw Mouri Kogoro's slightly appraising eyes. It felt like he was asking, 'Why are your movements so smooth? '

Bai Chuan smiled and didn't answer. He just pointed to the corpse nailed to the wall and asked, "Should we protect the scene of the crime or check the cause of death first?"

"Let's wait for the people from the forensic department to come." Mori Kogoro shook his head. No matter how out of tune he was, he could tell that the murderer must have some deep meaning in arranging the deceased in the current shape. There might be criminals hidden in it motivation.

Within 5 minutes, Officer Memu appeared in a flash.

"So...why is it you again, Brother Maori?"

Mu Mu's eyes were full of despair.

Soon after Yusaku Kudo left Japan, Shinichi Kudo took over his father's business and quickly became a frequent visitor to the scene of the crime, but there was also half a year between them, half a year!
What now?That brat Kudo Shinichi finally stopped being annoying for a few days, but Mouri Kogoro managed it seamlessly. I really wasn't prepared to let him take a day off!

Before Mori Kogoro could refute, Conan, who was concerned about the case, broke free from Xiaolan's warm and soft embrace, and quickly returned to the scene of the crime.

Chest Pillow vs Case
Xiaolan is completely defeated!

"Uncle, Uncle." The signature cute voice sounded, and Conan, who returned to the room, immediately grabbed Kogoro Mori's hand and shook it up and down, "Look, there is a red dot that is always on!"

"What red dots, I still have a red umbrella!" Impatiently throwing off Conan's hand, Kogoro looked towards the corner of the house unconsciously, and then his eyes lit up.

"That's right!" He hammered Conan's head excitedly, "There is a monitor in this room. Don't we know who the murderer is as long as we check the monitor?"

This time, following the direction pointed by Mori Kogoro, everyone saw the hard-working camera in the corner.

"Master Ochiai."

With the existence of the camera, Mu Mu obviously has more information about the detection of the case. With a big belly, he said in a majestic tone, "We need to call the surveillance at the time of the crime. Can you prepare it?"

"There is no problem at all." At this time, Director Ochiai did not show anything wrong, and even took the police to the monitoring room directly, allowing the police to check it on their own.

But unfortunately, the images recorded in the surveillance are of little significance. The assailant is covered with iron knight armor all over his body, and even his head is tightly wrapped. There is really nothing that can prove his identity.

However, it can be seen from President Shinaka's actions before his death that he recognized the murderer and quickly wrote down the name of the man under the knight's armor on the note. Based on this, Meguro and others quickly identified the suspect , an employee named Kubota in the art museum.

The staff reselling the collections in the art museum was discovered by the president of the museum and blackmailed.

According to this point, plus Kubota did not have an alibi, and the victim left a message before death, so under Mori Kogoro's perfect reasoning, Meguro's silver bracelet is ready to go.

Bai Chuan glanced at Conan who was bowing his head in thought. According to the existing clues, more than 90.00% of the people would directly identify the murderer. If he hadn't known the plot in advance, even he would have identified Kubota as the murderer.

Although Conan is the protagonist, there must be some reason for doubt, right?You can't just slap your head in every case and say, 'I think there must be something wrong with this matter. 'Bar?

Thinking of this, Bai Chuan approached Conan and asked in a low voice, "You don't seem to agree with Uncle Maori's reasoning. Have you found any clues?"

Conan raised his eyes to look at Bai Chuan, and sighed helplessly, "I just vaguely felt that something was wrong. The murderer imitated the painting "Punishment of Heaven" and committed this crime. It can be seen that he is a person who knows painting very well. Kubota's character is not good enough. It fits too well, but it's just a suspicion, after all, all the evidence points to him."

On the one hand, there is the key evidence such as the pre-death message, and on the other hand, it is all guesswork. Naturally, there is no need to talk about the difference.

"Then do you want to take a look at the surveillance video again?" Bai Chuan walked back to the computer and recalled the previous surveillance video.

On the screen, President Zhenzhong tore off a piece of paper stuck on the wall, picked up the pen on the table and wrote something on the paper, then suddenly threw the pen out, crumpled the paper into a ball, and held it tightly in the palm of your hand.

"There's something wrong with Boss Manaka's expression here." Conan repeatedly watched the surveillance twice, and then asked Bai Chuan to freeze the video after President Manaka tore off the paper from the wall.

"If President Manaka wanted to write down the murderer's name, why did he show a surprised expression after receiving the paper?"

Bai Chuan didn't speak, just quietly watched Conan lower his head, meditate, raise his head, meditate, and finally seemed to think of something, turned around and ran towards the crime scene.

This guy has really completely forgotten his identity as a child!

Although Conan's behavior can easily reveal his identity, the little girl Mao Lilan, who is so weak that she can break a telephone pole with a punch, is holding a cup of hot water and sitting in a corner in a daze. .

The two of them didn't notice anything unusual about a certain child, and successfully allowed Conan to get a note with Kubota's name on it from the Forensic Section staff, and also let him pick up a ball pen that was still at the crime scene but had not been recovered. .

To be honest, the forensic staff in Ke Xue World seem to be all temporary workers, with almost no professionalism. Except for wearing gloves, they are basically no different from corpse porters.

The dissatisfied scratched note and the ball pen with the refill retracted, through these two points, Conan basically judged that Kubota was the scapegoat.

Once the first step is taken care of, the whole thing becomes easier.

After all, the suspects in this case are Director Ochiai and Kubota, and they are not even one of the three classics.Excluding Kubota, the only possible murderer is Ochiai.

15 minute later.

Director Ochiai got into the police car with a silver bracelet, and Kogoro Mori walked out of the museum yawning, feeling very good.

Not for anything else, but to pretend again in front of the old boss Mu Mu, cool!
Bai Chuan took out his mobile phone, sent the news of Zhenzhong's death to Qin Jiu, and then lifted Conan's fate from the back of his neck.

"Well, Xiao Lan, do you know who this child's guardian is?"

"Guardian?" Xiaolan, who had another cup of hot cocoa in her hands, was a little confused, "I only know that he is the child of Dr. A Li's distant relative, and I haven't seen the guardian yet."

"That's right." Ignoring Conan who was struggling in his hands, Bai Chuan said again, "If you don't mind, I would like to take this child to the company. We have a job of dubbing children. I think this child is very suitable."

Dubbing?Mao Lilan looked at Conan who was struggling constantly, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

"You want this brat to go to work? That's fine, otherwise he'll just be eating for free at home." Mouri Kogoro, who had listened to the entire conversation, and a few reporters interjected after showing off their great achievements.

"Your boy lives and eats for nothing, now is the time to work and pay off your debts!"

Conan squinted at the outspoken Kogoro Mori, and Shirakawa knew that he must be thinking right now, 'Without me, you wouldn't even be a third-rate detective. '

Xiaolan was obviously still a little worried, "Will this trouble you too much?"

"How could it be?" Bai Chuan dispelled her last bit of doubt with a smile, "Don't forget that you will have to go in and out of the company often~"

Yes, Xiaolan's eyes lit up, she nodded quickly and let Baichuan take Conan into the car.

"Which game are you playing?"

As soon as he got in the car, Conan, who had completely stopped pretending, looked at Shirakawa with his iconic half-moon eyes.

Bai Chuan didn't answer, but just said to himself, "From tomorrow onwards, you will have two acting classes every day."

"Acting class, what is that?"

Conan is a little confused, so it is hard to let himself act.

"You need to learn how to act like a 7-year-old kid." Bai Chuan responded by directly stealing Conan's iconic half-moon eyes, "At least next time you won't insult my eyes with something like 'ah la la la'!"

　Yesterday's was intercepted by the audit, and it was only discovered this morning.
