Chapter 22: Preventing Crime [Please collect~]

"Then, I'm almost ready to take action."

Watching Mouri Kogoro and the other two people leave, Karasawa turned his attention to the curator Ochiai.

Don't ask how you know the name, just ask because you've read too much...

After visiting the exhibition hall for a while, Karasawa headed in the direction where Director Ochiai had left, and soon found the figure of Director Ochiai who had left.

After a while, I saw him saying something to the young man next to him, and then the two separated.

Naturally, Karasawa followed Director Ochiai, but in order not to arouse suspicion, Karasawa looked like he was just visiting casually, so he was not afraid of losing him.

Because he had already looked at the map of the museum and saw the guide labels of nearby locations before, he knew that he was passing the "Hell Exhibition Hall" ahead.

Anyone who knows the plot knows that this is where the other party committed the crime.

Not long after, Karasawa, who was admiring the works at the interface between the exhibition hall and the corridor, saw the figure of Director Ochiai turning into the hell exhibition hall. At this time, he slowly walked forward.

Arriving at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Director Ochiai had already entered the hall, and there was a "No entry for non-staff" sign hanging in the entrance corridor.

Tangze ignored the sign and walked to the door of the exhibition hall when he heard a crisp "click, click, click" sound made by the collision of steel, which was completely caused by the collision of knight's armor.

Secretly peeking inside, Tangze saw a figure wearing armor, although the light inside was very dim.

As time went by, the opponent gradually put on the armor neatly, and finally stood motionless on the ground with his sword on the ground, as if he was like a decorated piece of armor, motionless.

Karasawa knew that next time Boss Manaka came over, it would be because of Liangliang that he would die miserably, like being nailed to the wall with a knight's sword.

After thinking about it, Tangze decided to attack head-on, but he still had to be cautious.

Although the opponent was an old man with a gray beard and looked weak and could fall over with a push, judging from his killing method and form, it was possible that he was covered in tendons under his clothes.

After all, this is a ruthless man wearing a knight's armor and holding a two-handed sword who can directly nail people to the wall in the air, so it's better to be careful.

Stepping into the Geographical Exhibition Hall, dim light shrouded the room, and these handicrafts with horror colors from the middle world complement each other, giving the entire exhibition hall an invisible atmosphere of terror that envelopes the entire space.

Hey!
  Hey!
  Leather shoes and the smooth floor made crisp footsteps as Karasawa walked into the exhibition hall step by step, and soon headed towards the knight's armor.

"Mr. Curator, I don't think this is a good choice."

Just when Curator Ochiai saw Karasawa unexpectedly breaking into this place and was anxious about it, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard Karasawa's words.

"Did he see me?"

"Or have you seen through my plan?"

"No, he knows my identity and he investigated me!"

"But who is he!?"

For a moment, Director Ochiai in the armor couldn't help but have random thoughts, but he still restrained himself and remained still, trying to think of countermeasures. “You are the knight’s armor that moves at night.”

Before Director Ochiai in the armor could think too much, Karasawa spoke again: "Originally, I was worried that the news report was not a simple prank.

And seeing the conflict between you and Boss Zhenzhong today, and seeing your preparations at this moment, I am even more convinced. "

Karasawa looked directly at the knight armor and said in a solemn tone: "Director Ochiai, you want to kill Boss Manaka!
  I guess you have a plan in advance. The "walking armor" is the "weird story" you want to create, so that the death of Manaka's boss looks like he was killed by the "walking armor" in the exhibition hall. appearance.

You invite the other person to this "Hell Exhibition Hall" and say you have something to discuss, and then put on your armor in advance. I'm afraid that when the real boss arrives later, it will be your time to take action. "

Hearing that all the plans were exposed by the young man in front of him, Director Ochiai was shaken violently. Finally, he slowly started to move, lifted up his armor and looked at the person in front of him with a complex expression and asked: "I met you in the exhibition hall before. I've passed you, but who are you?"

"Karasawa Genichi, criminal search section 1." Karasawa took out the police certificate from his arms and showed it to the other party.

"Criminal? Didn't you expect that such a trivial matter would attract the attention of the Criminal Investigation Division?" Director Ochiai shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw the police officer's ID card in the other person's hand.

He never thought that a strange story would attract the attention of criminals. Are the police today so keen?

"No, this is just a personal concern. Originally, I just wanted to crack the weird story about "armor that can move around."" Karasawa smiled and said, "But after seeing what you and Director Ochiai did next, I just saw everything through.”

"Really... Then I'm really unlucky." Director Ochiai said with a disappointed expression.

"No, this is your luck. If you kill the other party, you will definitely be caught." Karasawa retorted unceremoniously: "Even without me, the middle-aged man who was with me before was Mouri Kogoro. "

"What!?" Ochiai had an expression of disbelief when he heard this, and the shock on his face soon turned into endless bitterness, "Is that so, the detective who has become famous recently is also here...

It seemed like I was really caught in a dragnet. "

"Didn't I say before, this is your departure." Director Karasawa Ochiai said: "I discovered you in advance, and the plan was interrupted. In other words, no crime will occur, and nothing will happen. Pass."

"But... the art museum is still going to be closed..." Director Ochiai seemed to have lost his energy and became much older all of a sudden. "This is an art museum with a history of fifty years... It's just so abrupt..."

"Director Ochiai! No matter what the reason is, it is not the reason for you to kill!" Karasawa said with a serious face: "The untrustworthy boss Manaka is indeed hateful, but you who chose to kill are absolutely wrong!"

Director Ochiai sat directly on the ground. The knight's armor made a metallic sound, and a kind of powerless pain filled Director Ochiai's heart.

"Don't just think about killing people to solve problems. Maybe there are other ways."

Tang Ze looked at the old man in front of him as if he had lost his soul, and felt a little unbearable.

But he suddenly remembered the outcome of the case, and he felt refreshed.

After the citizens knew that the Mihua Art Museum would be forced to close, they all demanded that the museum be preserved, and in the end, the museum was indeed preserved.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze felt that he could start from this aspect, and maybe there would be a good ending.
