I Was Summon To The World Of Famous Detectives

Chapter 31: Investigating the Curator

A few minutes later, Lin Yao had arrived at the Rice Flower Art Museum.

At this time, it was 7:30 in the evening. Due to the murder during the day, the gate of the art museum was closed, and there was no light inside. Such a huge building sits on a clearing, giving the impression of a crouching beast.

The closed door means nothing to Lin Yao, he easily walked in through the wall.

The location where the murder took place is the “Hell Hall”, which displays some works of monsters and monsters. Being in the same room with so many ghosts at night, although Lin Yao was not afraid, he still felt uncomfortable.

“Can’t these artists make some works in the world?” He complained in his heart.

After a careful inspection of the Hell Hall, Lin Yao found nothing unusual. He fell into deep thought, recalling bit by bit the plot of the murder at the museum, and recalling the media reports on the case.

In the original work, the curator deliberately chose to commit the crime under surveillance, and put pen and paper on a booth. After the boss was injured, he picked up a pen and paper to write the name of the murderer, but found that the pen could not write, and then angrily threw the pen on the ground.

The scene was captured on surveillance.

On that piece of paper, curator Ochiai had written the word Kubota in advance.

Kubota is an employee of the art museum and often steals artworks to sell for money. This was Curator Ochiai’s frame-up plan – the police saw the footage of the deceased writing on the surveillance camera, and found the paper with the words Kubota written on it, and regarded Kubota as the murderer.

At the same time, after committing the crime, the curator also put the bloody armor in Huotian’s locker to frame it…

In the end, Conan found a pen that could not write on the curator, which proved that the curator was the murderer and that Kuotian was innocent.

“That pen is the problem?” Lin Yao grabbed the point immediately.

…

If Curator Ochiai is the one who takes the blame for others, why does he have a pen on his body that can’t write?

He must be looking for an opportunity to run out of pen oil on purpose!

Thinking of this, Lin Yao immediately went to the office of the museum. There are two offices here, one is the director’s private office, and the other is shared by the museum staff.

Searching in the curator’s office, Lin Yao didn’t find any clues. With doubts, he came to the employee’s office next door, and found a suspicious notebook in the drawer of one of the desks!

“This is…” Lin Yao opened the notebook and saw that several pages were full of scribbles, and the lines were so dense that it made one’s scalp swell. Apparently someone was wasting pen oil on purpose so that they could run out of pen oil and not be able to write.

Turning back a few pages, sure enough, the ink became lighter and lighter, and finally there was no trace at all.

That’s how pens that can’t write are made…

But, it’s not right!

“Why isn’t it on the curator’s desk?” Lin Yao looked at the nameplate attached to the upper left corner of the table, with the name Iijima on it. Looking at the memo pad again, it is also something from Iijima.

If the real culprit was Iijima, and Curator Ochiai used up his own pen oil by scribbling and scribbling for him, this notebook should appear on the curator’s desk. Could it be that the incapable pen was not prepared by the curator, but that Iijima directly gave him the pen at the scene after committing the crime?

But how should this notebook be explained?

Iijima just wanted to kill someone on a whim, so he hurriedly prepared a pen that couldn’t write?

However, there were rumors on the Internet a few days ago that the security guards would walk when they saw the armor of the art museum, which showed that the murder was premeditated and definitely not a temporary intention. No matter how you think about it, Lin Yao thinks this case is weird.

“Unless… Curator Ochiai is not taking the blame for others, he is the real murderer himself.” Lin Yao looked at the notebook in his hand and whispered to himself, “He put the notebook in Iijima’s drawer to frame Fan. island.”

Then everything went smoothly.

But the original question came up again – can Curator Ochiai, a seventy-seven-year-old man, be able to commit crimes in armor?

…

Lin Yao took out his mobile phone and called the Takagi detective. When I went to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a transcript, Lin Yao had already asked for his phone number, because Lin Yao knew that he was the best tool person to use.

“Hey, is that Takagi detective? I’m Lin Yao.”

“Ah! Lin Sang, it’s you!” Takagi used the honorific title “Is something wrong?”

Lin Yao said, “You should have information on Director Ochiai, right? Can you tell me where his home is?”

“What? You want to know his home? No, no! Even if he is a suspect, I can’t reveal his privacy! I strictly abide by the police manual!” Takagi was very determined, but Lin Yao knew this It’s all tricks.

If his stance is so firm, how could he be named the best tool man of the Metropolitan Police?

“Don’t be so heartless, Officer Takagi…I’m not an outsider. Didn’t I help you find out the truth about the murder before? Although I’m not a police officer, our goal is the same, and we all want to get to the bottom of the truth. right?”

“This… yes, right…” Takagi began to shake.

Lin Yao added: “I promise not to announce his residence, I just know it by myself.”

“Are you sure you won’t tell anyone?”

“Of course! I swear, I will never tell anyone where Curator Ochiai lives!”

“Okay then…” Takagi hesitated for a few seconds, then revealed the residence of Curator Ochiai.

Lin Yao laughed twice in his heart: Is this what you mean by strictly abiding by the police manual?

“You are such a good and considerate policeman. I’ll treat you to dinner when I have time…” Lin Yao complimented him before hanging up.

…

It didn’t take long for Lin Yao to arrive at the residence of Curator Ochiai.

I have to say that he is the director of the art gallery, and even has a lot of art in his home. However, after Lin Yao entered the room, he faintly felt a strange smell, which made people want to vomit.

“Why does it smell like salted fish?” Lin Yao could only endure it.

Lin Yao searched for clues while searching for the source of the smell, and finally his eyes fell on the shoe rack at the entrance of the gate. Lin Yao was almost smoked to death when he got close to the shoe rack, “My dear, this old man’s feet are like biological weapons!”

Stepping on pickles with this foot will definitely taste authentic. (It is said that pickles fermented with bacteria on the feet taste better)

No wonder Lin Yao felt familiar as soon as he entered the room, it reminded him of the boys’ dormitory in high school.

Pushing the strange thoughts out of his mind, Lin Yao began to search seriously. When he was rummaging through the drawer, he suddenly found a card, “This is… a membership card?”

Looking closely, this is not an ordinary membership card, but a membership card of a fitness club.

“This old man actually participates in fitness?” Lin Yao was taken aback. But in this way, the previous question can be answered. Curator Ochiai is indeed capable of committing crimes in armor, because he is not an ordinary old man.
