Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 389: At this moment, it has become art! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Wow!"

Mao Lilan looked at the painting in front of her and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "What a big painting!"

The painting in front of her was several times larger than the ones she had seen before. Its top was almost close to the ceiling, and it was estimated to be at least three or four meters high. It depicted a knight in armor piercing a demon with a spear.

The dark color tone, coupled with the dark environment, gave people a chilling feeling, so much so that even Maori Kogoro, who had no interest in visiting art exhibitions, couldn't help but sigh, "It really deserves to be called a picture of hell!"

As he sighed, Mao Lilan lowered her head and looked at the text description of the painting: "The title of this painting is called "Heavenly Punishment". It is said to be a work depicting a righteous knight blocking the devil!"

Bai Ye looked at the painting of "Heavenly Punishment" dimly, his eyes were somewhat deep, "It's a pity that although the devil was killed by the righteous knight, the knight will also be baptized by the evil blood. The pure soul will be polluted by the devil and may even become the next devil in the end!"

"Because, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you; if you fight with a dragon for too long, the warrior himself will become a dragon!"

Mao Lilan was slightly startled.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that her boyfriend's words had a hidden meaning.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

But before she could figure it out, suddenly, a sound as if some liquid was falling to the ground attracted her attention, and she subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look.

Noticing her movements, Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stood behind her without hesitation, stretched out his hand, covered her eyes with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't look!"

"That is……"

Hearing Bai Ye's voice, Conan also turned around, wanting to know where the sound came from. Before he could get jealous of the two people's intimate actions, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide the next moment.

It turned out that not far from them, the boss Manaka whom they had seen before was nailed to the wall with his feet off the ground and a long sword pierced his neck. His mouth was wide open, his hair was messy, and his face was hideous and terrifying. Blood kept spurting out from his collarbone pierced by the long sword, splashing on the floor in front of him, blooming into bright blood-red flowers one after another...

Beside him, Mao Lilan Kogoro's expression changed instantly, "It's Boss Manaka!"

He never imagined that Boss Manaka, whom they had just met, would die here, and in such a horrible way!
At this moment, he finally understood why Bai Ye covered his daughter's eyes for no reason.

After all, such a horrific death is too much for a little girl to bear, even for a grown man like him, it feels a bit too stimulating!

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro calmly looked at Bai Ye who was protecting Maori Ran, and then quickly ordered, "Xiao Ran, no, Bai Ye, take Xiao Ran with you, go to the police, and notify Director Ochiai and the others!"

The crime scene or something like that is really not a good place for a girl like him to stay for a long time.

However, if he asked his daughter to return from here, he was a little worried that she might be in danger.

After all, no one knows whether the murderer has left the scene.

If the other party did not leave but hid in the dark, then his daughter would easily be in danger if she left alone!
However, if he could be accompanied by the master Bai Ye, then even if he really met the murderer who killed Boss Manaka, at that time, the only one in danger would be him, not his daughter Baoer and Bai Ye!
Bai Ye nodded gently, "Well..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Mao Lilan, whose eyes were covered by Bai Ye, seemed to understand that a murder had occurred at the scene, so she followed Bai Ye and left the scene obediently...

After giving orders to Bai Ye, Kogoro Maori decisively went to the body and protected the scene.

Conan also hurried over, looked around the corpse, and carefully searched for various clues.

At this moment, he completely forgot about being jealous and also forgot about his childhood sweetheart.

……

"Are you okay, Xiaolan?"

Bai Ye covered Mouri Ran's eyes with his hands and looked at her with some worry.

Mao Lilan shook her head slightly.

When she first heard that there was another murder case and the victim was her boss Manaka whom she had met before, she was indeed a little scared.

However, after all, her family runs a detective agency, and when she and her childhood sweetheart went out to play together, they often encountered various cases, so she has long had a certain immunity to murders and corpses.

What's more, her boyfriend protected her so promptly that she didn't see the horrific scene at all. Now she is not so scared anymore.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and looked at Bai Ye who was about to take out his cell phone and call the police. Mao Lilan blinked and said, "Bai Ye, don't you want to go over and take a look?"

If it was her childhood sweetheart, he would definitely rush forward without hesitation if he encountered this situation, right?

No, it doesn't have to be ordinary.

Isn’t her childhood sweetheart at the crime scene right now?
He looked so focused, as if the corpse was his lover, and was so absorbed in his concentration that he completely forgot everything around him.

Bai Ye shook his head slightly and replied, "No need, just stay here, I can see clearly."

"Besides, the case is not as important as accompanying you, Xiaolan!"

Not to mention, he knew the specific process of this murder, the true identity of the murderer, his method of committing the crime, and his motive.

Just say that your girlfriend needs comfort right now.

In this case, how could he leave!
Although solving the case is important, it is not as important as my girlfriend!
As soon as these words were spoken, Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with emotion and tenderness.

Sure enough, she knew that her boyfriend was different from that high school detective who only cared about the case!
Sure enough, she, Mao Lilan, did not like the wrong person!

"why is it you again?"

As soon as he arrived at the crime scene, he saw a very familiar figure, and Officer Megure couldn't help but be speechless.

What’s going on recently? Why do I see this person everywhere?
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Kogoro Mouri was his former subordinate, he would know what kind of person he was. Just based on the fact that he always appeared at the murder scene, he really wanted to take him back to the police station for a thorough investigation!
After all, although Kogoro Mouri was a subordinate of Inspector Megure in the past, the other party really had no talent in solving cases, otherwise he would not have been unknown in the past ten years.

However, in recent times, whenever a murder occurred anywhere, his former subordinate would definitely be there, and in the end, he would often be able to solve cases that even the Metropolitan Police Department had no clue about, and find the murderer.

He would never believe that there was no problem with Kogoro Mori, his former subordinate!
Maori Kogoro smiled and saluted Officer Megure, "Yes, it's me again!"

Although, he was actually a little puzzled as to why he had such a connection with murder cases, but that was not important.

The important thing is that the more cases he solves, the more famous he will become. As a famous detective, he will naturally receive a steady stream of commissions.

However, entrustment is linked to remuneration.

No one can refuse to get rich, and he is no exception!
"Besides, I guarantee that no one has touched the body, Mr. Officer!"

Ever since the body of Boss Manaka was discovered, he and Conan have been guarding the crime scene and have not left.

During this period, he did not forget to ask Bai Ye to check the Hell Exhibition Room, which was the crime scene, to make sure that no one was hiding inside. Afterwards, he asked Bai Ye, his daughter and others to guard the entrance of the Hell Exhibition Room.

Under such circumstances, he really didn't think that there was anyone who could take advantage of their unpreparedness and touch Boss Manaka's body.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Bai Ye interrupted the conversation between Maori Kogoro and Inspector Megure, "Well, I can also guarantee that no one has touched the body!"

If someone could sneak in and do something to Boss Manaka's body when a professional killer like him is here, that would be really disrespectful to him!
"Brother Bai Ye, you are here too!"

Looking at Bai Ye in surprise, Officer Megure was slightly stunned.

Why is Brother Bai Ye also at the crime scene?

Wait, as far as I can remember, during this period of time, I seemed to often see a confused detective and Bai Ye appearing at the crime scene together.

Could it be that these two private detectives have teamed up?

But, is that guy Kogoro Mori really worthy of it?

It’s not that he looks down on his old subordinate, well, he just looks down on Kogoro Mori.

Once, after Kogoro Mori was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department, he and his colleague had investigated many cases together.

However, the joining of Kogoro Mori not only did not help solve the case, but on the contrary, he often led his colleagues astray in the case, so that often a simple case would take at least several times more time and effort to solve.

Just ask such a person, how can you expect him to respect the other person's talent as a detective?
However, no matter what Bai Ye's intention is, by teaming up with the confused detective Mouri Kogoro, with each other around, this murder case should be solved soon!

After all, it is true that Kogoro Mouri is a confused detective, but Byakuya is a famous detective who has provided a lot of help to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and has solved many major cases!

With this in mind, after greeting Bai Ye and the others, Officer Megure turned around and walked towards Director Ochiai and a group of museum staff, and then asked as usual, "So, has anyone seen the criminal?"

Director Ochiai nodded gently, "Yes, I have checked with everyone, but it seems that no one has seen it."

"If I guess correctly..."

At this moment, Iijima next to him seemed to remember something and pointed at the camera on the corner of the wall, "Maybe the anti-theft camera should have recorded it..."

"Camera..."

Hearing Iijima's reminder, Officer Megure's eyes lit up and he hurriedly urged, "What are we waiting for? Let's go check the surveillance!"

Unexpectedly, today's murder case was so simple that it didn't even require the intervention of a detective.

Could it be that today, he, Mu Mu Jusan, has a chance to wash away the shame that the Metropolitan Police Department used to have to have the help of detectives to solve cases?

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure's eyes became brighter and brighter.

You know, although he has a good relationship with Kogoro Mori and Byakuya, he has solved many cases with their help.

But if possible, he still hopes that he and others can solve the case independently.

After all, they are the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, not the detectives' subordinates, nor their foils!

How can the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, as a whole, only rely on detectives all day long and cannot solve cases without the help of detectives?

……

“Sure enough…it was filmed!”

Looking at the medieval armor standing quietly in the corner in the camera, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The criminal is really stupid. He didn't even know that he would be captured by the camera."

This murder case is really simple!

As long as they finish watching the video, they will know the true identity of the murderer!
It's a pity for him. He wanted to show off his charm as a famous detective, but now he has no chance.

But it doesn’t matter, if I can’t perform this time, I’ll try next time!
"Ah, it's Boss Manaka!"

As the tape turned, the figure of Boss Manaka appeared on the surveillance screen.

He came to the front of the armor, looked left and right, and looked at his watch from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Okay, come out, prisoner!"

Maori Kogoro stared at the picture on the screen seriously, "Let me see your face clearly!"

At this moment, new changes occurred on the screen.

I saw that the armor that was originally standing behind Boss Manaka, which should have been a dead object, actually moved by itself.

Moreover, it raised the sword in its hand high and slashed at Boss Manaka who had his back to him.

Perhaps because it used too much force, coupled with the strong inertia, Boss Manaka was knocked to the ground by the sword. A huge amount of blood gushed out of his body and spread all over the ground.

Seeing Boss Manaka fall to the ground with blood flowing, the armored man did not let him go. Instead, he took two steps forward, then raised the sword in his hand again, turned around and slashed at Boss Manaka in the face.

Afterwards, he stretched out his big hand, grabbed Boss Manaka's face, then held the sword again and hit him again!
Finally, he nailed it to the wall.

The changes that happened on the screen shocked everyone watching the video...
