Chapter 41: The triumphant Inspector Megure talks to Director Ochiai

“Why do I always see you at the murder scene?”

Inspector Megure continued.

Kurosaki Makoto looked at Inspector Megure helplessly.

“Brother Kurosaki, are you unlucky?”

Inspector Megure raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Hearing Inspector Megure’s words, the expression on Kurosaki Makoto’s face did not change at all, and not even a trace of embarrassment appeared.

After all, he knew very well in his heart that all this was caused by Conan’s so-called”halo of death”, and it had nothing to do with him!

“All of this is the result of Conan’s death halo, and it has nothing to do with me!”

Kurosaki Makoto muttered to himself, his eyes becoming unusually firm.

“Yes, there is absolutely no connection!”

Kurosaki Makoto told himself firmly in his heart.

However, facing Kurosaki Makoto’s calm appearance, Officer Megure couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

“What’s wrong with you, Kurosaki? What are you mumbling about?”

However, as an experienced policeman, he knew that he should find someone to question next, so he called the person in charge of the art gallery.

“Director Ochiai, have you seen the murderer’s face?”

Inspector Megure turned his gaze to the director of the art museum, Director Ochiai, trying to get more clues from him.

Upon hearing this, Director Ochiai shook his head very naturally, indicating that he had not seen the murderer’s face.

Then he added:”I have confirmed everyone, no one has seen it.”

At this moment, a staff member on the side suddenly reminded:”That… the closed camera next to it may have captured the murderer’s face.”

This sentence was like a ray of dawn, instantly igniting Inspector Megure’s hope of solving the case.

Afterwards, everyone moved to the monitoring room, looking forward to finding the real murderer by watching the video.

After all, if you can see the true face of the murderer with your own eyes, then the case will become easy.

“It seems that this case is easy!”

Inspector Megure smiled and was secretly happy.

However, the truth is often not that simple.

When they actually watched the video, they found that the murderer was actually a moving armor.

Kurosaki Makoto didn’t understand why an old man had the power to wear armor and kill people?

“Is this the world of science? It’s too outrageous!”

Kurosaki Makoto sighed in his heart.

And after watching the surveillance, Inspector Megure also had a worried look on his face.”Why does this criminal wear armor? Can’t you let me solve the case properly?”

Inspector Megure felt that he had to find someone to help solve the case today.

As for who? Do I need to guess?

“Brother Kurosaki, what do you think about this matter?”

Inspector Megure looked at Kurosaki Makoto very naturally.

Hearing this, Kurosaki Makoto thought for a moment and said,”I remember that there was a no-entry sign outside this room at around four o’clock in the afternoon.”

“But at 5 o’clock, the sign disappeared. Now it seems that the sign must have been put there by the murderer.”

“The purpose is to prevent outsiders from disturbing him when he commits a crime.”

“Therefore, the person who can easily use these brands is likely to be the murderer in this case.”

“Um……”Inspector Megure stroked his chin and thought, and felt that what Kurosaki Makoto said made sense.

Then, Kurosaki Makoto said:”Moreover, the murderer must be very familiar with this room.”

“After all, it is not easy to move freely in this room wearing armor.”

Inspector Megure listened to what Kurosaki Makoto said and nodded thoughtfully.

“So the murderer must be someone who knows this place very well.”

At this point, Inspector Megure turned his attention to Director Ochiai and others.

“That means the murderer is among you.”

At this moment, a police officer came to Officer Megure and said,”Officer Megure, we just found a note in the hand of the deceased.”

Then he put the note in Officer Megure’s hand.

Officer Megure opened it and found that it was actually written with a person’s name.

“”Kubota, is this the murderer’s name?”

Officer Megure asked in confusion.

Kubota, who heard his own name, shouted nervously,”Officer, why did you suddenly call my name?”

He was eating melon in the crowd, but the melon fell on him.

“You are Kubota. Where were you when the murder happened?”

Officer Megure said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Kubota immediately stammered,”I…I stayed in the office alone, doing what the director told me to do.

Officer Megure looked at Director Ochiai with an inquiring look.

“Yes, I did give instructions for this matter.

Director Ochiai nodded.

“In other words, no one can prove that you were not at the murder scene?”

Officer Megure pressed on.

“If I remember correctly, Boss Manaka has been trying to make you pay for your losses recently because you secretly stole things from the art museum and sold them!”

“Because you owe a lot of money from gambling, you resorted to this desperate measure!”

A staff member also added.

Hearing that Kubota had such a clear motive for murder, Officer Megure had already determined that Kubota was the murderer in this case.

“I am indeed short of money, but I am not the murderer!”

Kubota said in a panic.

However, this explanation sounded pale and powerless in the ears of Inspector Megure.

“You can wait and tell us the rest at the police station!”

Officer Megure waved his hand and had Kubota’s hands handcuffed.

Then he came to Kurosaki Makoto with a smug look on his face.

“How about it, brother Kurosaki, my speed in solving the case today is comparable to yours, right?”

“Yes, yes, Officer Megure really showed his prowess today. I really admire him.”

Kurosaki Makoto praised him perfunctorily.

However, Officer Megure did not hear that this was perfunctory.

“Hahaha! In fact, it is also thanks to your help, brother Kurosaki, otherwise things would not be over so quickly.”

After Officer Megure finished speaking, he planned to escort Kubota back to the police station.

After everyone left, Xiaolan took Sonoko to the bathroom, and only Director Ochiai and Kurosaki Makoto were left in the room.

Looking at the kind old man in front of him, Kurosaki Makoto said lightly:”Director Ochiai, you are the real murderer!”

Hearing what Kurosaki Makoto said, Director Ochiai showed a hint of surprise, but did not refute.
