Conan: The Mechanic

A confessed . . . mentally ill? From any angle, Kudo Yusaku felt the need to take a look.

So five minutes later, Yusaku Kudo came to the mental hospital building, and under the guidance of the police officer Shiratori who had been waiting for him at the door of the activity room for a long time, he saw the mentally ill patient who claimed to have committed a crime-the It was a young blond woman sitting in front of the drawing board, an abnormal excitement was beating on her face.

"How did you know about her..." Before Yusaku Kudo finished asking, the blond woman had already looked towards her, and the excitement on her face turned into joy.

"You are finally here," she said with a smile. "God told me to come back, but I've waited a long time."

There is no doubt that this half-race lady is delusional.

"According to the dean, Mr. Ochiai, this Miss Neviah firmly believes that she is the incarnation of Archangel Uriel in the world." Police Officer Shiratori said in a low voice.

"Ochiai?" What Yusaku Kudo cared about was not the patient. "Is it a relative of Mr. Ochiai, the director of the museum?"

"No, he is in charge of these two buildings at the same time, but in practice, young people are mainly responsible for the affairs here. He is only in name." Police Officer Shiratori explained.

"Come and see, this is the treasure I prepared for you." Seeing that Yusaku Kudo and Officer Shiratori seemed to be addicted to the conversation between each other, Neviah was not annoyed, just said this with a faint smile. , while turning his frame in the direction they can see.

A demon wearing a rather edgy demon logo T-shirt and shorts, with a mask covering his face, with horns like the dead, was crucified, while Nviah himself stood beneath the cross, placing a Put the sword against the demon's flank. But something unusual is that even though the tip of the sword is near the soft side, there is a longitudinal wound on the demon's neck that is bleeding - of course, Yusaku Kudo has a way to explain the reason for this strange situation.

The reasoning is not complicated to anyone with enough medieval art culture: although the use of color in the painting may be a little odd due to the fact that the illustrator is a mentally ill person, the overall composition of the painting relies on the basis of biblical descriptions. The oil painting of the centurion Longinus stabbing the body of **** Christ with his own gun to verify his death. In that painting, Longinus pierced **** in the flank.

Of course, Sergeant Shiratori, who can pass the first-class civil service exam, probably won't be stumped by this kind of thing, so he concentrated his energy on the real problem: According to Chiba's description, the deceased (probably the one depicted Demon) was stabbed in the throat with a sword by the man in the armor before being burned by the flames, but they didn't reveal it to the public.

Then why did this Miss Neviah deliberately add such a wound to her throat during the drawing process? Maybe she heard about it from someone who didn't care about telling others that she was the murderer, or maybe... the wound was originally left by her.

Raising his head, Kudo Yusaku looked at Nviah's unusually clear eyes. "So, is this all true?"

"I painted this picture to show you the truth," Nviah smiled even brighter. "Maybe they already told you that I am an angel, haven't I?"

"..." Kudo Yusaku thought for a while, then gave Officer Shiratori a look.

At this moment, Officer Shiratori received a text message from the identification team.

Gregory himself came.

……

Twenty minutes later, an observation room in the mental hospital was temporarily used as an interrogation room.

"I'm here to see which jihad warrior came to kill this demon," Gregory pressed his cane and looked at Yusaku Kudo, who was communicating with Neviah, through the glass window. "Seriously, I want to see if I can get the murder weapon from him and exchange it with the Vatican."

"What does this mean?" Inspector Shiratori asked in confusion.

"His horn, the results of the sampling analysis include calcium, potassium, manganese and silicon." Gregory handed a report to the White Bird Police Officer. "At least we can't find evidence that this is not a real bone... Of course, it may also be some kind of superb surgical operation. As for the tail, it should also be a real human tail, maybe it is an atavism or something."

"..." The corner of Police Officer Shiratori's mouth twitched, and he drew a cross on his chest with one hand—although he is a materialistic detective, this does not contradict his own religious beliefs.

But now, the knowledge brought by religious beliefs is joining forces with reality to impact his materialistic beliefs.

"As for other traces... We found traces of potting soil and the seeds of [Christmas roses] on the soles of his shoes."

"Christmas rose? Finally something that sounds a little more evangelical!" After hearing the word "Christmas", Police Officer Shiratori breathed a sigh of relief and said in a slightly more relaxed tone.

But he saw Gregory showing a rather subtle expression.

"But the scientific name of the Christmas rose is..." Gregory read out the Japanese spelling of the word. "According to Latin, hell-eborusniger (black hellebore He deliberately emphasized **** (hell) of hellebore. "And this thing is said to be the key ingredient in making the Devil Summoning Potion~www.readwn.com~ Shiratori Ren Saburo's smile stiffened.

Just when Gregory was about to say something, he suddenly noticed something strange in the room.

The blond woman named Nviah, who was being questioned by Yusaku Kudo, who claimed to be the incarnation of an archangel, was staring at him through the window of this interrogation room.

Where there is a need in a mental hospital, all one-way glass should be installed - people outside can see inside, but people inside can't see outside.

But now this woman seems to be clearly looking at herself from the inside.

Frowning slightly, Gregory tried to take two steps and found that the other party seemed to be able to see him clearly. "I...I always feel like she can see where I am through this glass and stare at me..."

"Isn't it?" Officer Shiratori was also taken aback, and quickly made some exaggerated movements to attract the other party's attention, only to find that Nviah seemed to be able to see them. "This... maybe this glass window in this room is the kind of... ordinary glass, not the common one-way glass..." But even he himself became less and less confident.

"I don't think it's nutritious to continue watching their interrogation here." With a gloomy face, Gregory extended an invitation to Police Officer White Bird. "Let Mr. Kudo continue his work, how about we go out and see if there are any clues elsewhere?"

"Of course!" Inspector Shiratori nodded in relief, and then he couldn't wait to walk out with Gregory.

Neviah glanced at the backs of the two who walked out, and then replied to Yusaku Kudo with a smile.

"As I said, God possessed me, let me know everything, and punished evil spirits for him."
