The Strongest Ryoma in Prince of Tennis

Chapter 1004 : Murder in an art museum (end) [two more in one]

“It’s really not me! This matter has nothing to do with the murder! I didn’t kill Mr. Manaka!” Kubota waved his hand again and again, backing away, his face was full of haste.

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t admit it. When my subordinates find out the armor used by the prisoner, everything will be revealed!”

Echizen didn’t pay attention to the conversation between Megume 13 and Kubota. He looked around and found Conan who was jumping on the ground looking for something.

Following Conan’s location and looking under a statue, he found a ball pen as expected.

“This is the ball pen that the victim lost in the surveillance video, right?”

Echizen came silently behind Conan who had just discovered the ball pen, and Conan was taken aback by his abrupt voice.

“Um!”

Secretly relieved, Conan sorted his mind and said to Echizen, “Echizen, you have to quickly tell this clue to Officer Mumu!”

“understood!”

Echizen put on the gloves borrowed from the police, then picked up the ball pen, and walked towards Megume Ju and Kogoro Mouri.

“Sergeant Mumu, Master Maori, this is the ball pen found at the scene. If nothing happens, this should be the ball pen that the victim lost in the surveillance video.”

“Oh, a great help, brother Echizen!”

While saying thank you, Mumu Shisan turned out the tip of the ball pen and drew on the notebook he carried with him. Then he checked the previous note and said, “Well, it should be. This pen is the same in color and thickness.”

Conan behind saw this scene, but fell into thinking.

“It’s weird. If this is the pen that the victim used, how can someone turn the nib back before dying.”

As if guessing what Conan was thinking at this time, Echizen squatted beside Conan and whispered.

“Well, and I don’t think that people like Kubota will imitate that painting to plan to kill!” Conan nodded in agreement.

“The doubt is not limited to this one. Although this is the first time I met Kubota today, I also know that this person is not a person who cherishes art!”

Echizen analyzed Conan and said: “But, do you know Conan? The exhibition wall used to nail the victim, all the artworks that were supposed to be on display were removed in advance.”

“indeed!”

Conan listened to Echizen’s words and looked at the wall where the victim was killed. There was an explanatory card for the exhibition, but there was no drawing.

“This is a coincidence too?”

“It’s unlikely to be a coincidence. I just asked that Iijima. It seems that even the armor used for the murder is a fake. If this is all a coincidence, it would be a coincidence!’

As Echizen said, he glanced at Curator Ochiai, and said to Conan, “Conan, the murderer is definitely not Kubota, but the real murderer, I think I already know who it is?”

“What?” Conan was surprised, and asked quickly: “Who is it?”

“The people present who cherish the art the most are the murderers!’

Echizen smiled at Conan, then got up, ready to reveal the answer.

To be honest, reasoning requires not only that you can understand it, but you must also use words to convince others to agree with your reasoning.

And Echizen has never been a eloquent person, so in order to clarify his thoughts, Echizen has to make a draft with Conan.

“Who cherishes art the most, who is the murderer~”?” Conan thought of Echizen’s words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, “That’s it, only him.”

However, Conan’s little brow frowned soon.

“There is no conclusive evidence!”

Conan frowned and looked at Echizen, who was walking towards Mugure 13 and Kogoro Mouri. He thought for a while, and followed his short legs. He wanted to know how Echizen would reason about the key evidence.

“Police Department, found it, found the armor in Mr. Kubota’s cabinet!”

When Echizen walked up to Kogoro Mouri and Meguro, two police officers walked in with blood-stained armor.

“did you find it?”

Mumu thirteen was overjoyed, turned his head to look at the arguing Kuatian, and said loudly: “The blood-stained armor, and the death message left by the victim before he died, yes, the murderer is you, Kuatian! ”

“No, no, I didn’t kill anyone!” Kua Tian waved his hand again and again, arguing sharply.

“Ahem–”

Looking at Kubota who was almost frightened to death, Echizen gave a light cough and said to Mumu Shisan: “Sergeant Mumu, I think the murderer should not be Mr. Zhuda!

“what?”

Mumu Shisan was very surprised, but thought that Echizen might have found some clues they didn’t find, so he still patiently asked, “Echizen brother, do you have any new discoveries?”

Mumu Thirteen is good at this point. Ask if you don’t understand, correct if you know your mistakes, know people and use them well, although your own ability is not top-notch, but with these fine habits, the position of the police department of the Metropolitan Police Department is very stable. .

“Well, I found some new clues. Did Police Officer Megome give me that ball pen first?”

Echizen nodded, and then reached out to take the ball pen that Mu Shisan handed over, took it to the curator Ochiai, and asked, “Mr. curator, you just told Officer Megure that this kind of ball pen museum The relevant staff are there, right?”

“Yes!”

Curator Ochiai nodded and said, “This is the 50th anniversary of the museum this year. It is specially made and the relevant staff of the museum have it.”

“Then, Mr. Curator must have it too?” Echizen asked.

“Um!”

Curator Ochiai nodded, but his expression was not as relaxed as before.

Hearing the words of Curator Ochiai, Echizen took the tourist guidebook from Moriran standing beside him, put it in front of Curator Ochiai, and said to him: “You can ask the curator to use your own ball pen. Feel free to write a word or draw something on it?”

“this …

Curator Ochiai’s expression changed slightly, and he reached out to take the tourist guide that Echizen handed over, but he knew that he couldn’t write a word with the pen on his body.

“Mr. Curator, isn’t it because you didn’t bring the ball pen with you?” Looking at Curator Ochiai who was motionless, Echizen asked tentatively.

However, Curator Ochiai still did not answer.

If Curator Ochiai answers, then if it is found from him later, then

“Or, the ball pen on Mr. Curator’s body can’t be used at all?” Echizen didn’t care about seeing Curator Ochiai not being fooled, and asked again.

“Can’t a ball pen be used?”

When Conan on the side heard this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: “That’s it!”

“A ball pen that can’t write?”

Not only Conan, but at this time Kogoro Mori also realized something was wrong. He looked at the note in the victim’s hand, touched his chin and said, “Wait, if the ball pen can’t write, the traces on the note should be I want to cross out the trace of something!”

Kogoro Mori is still somewhat competent, and after reasoning, the inspiration is out of control.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Before and after the communication between Kogoro Mouri, he exclaimed excitedly: “The characters on this note were not written by Mr. Manaka, but the characters written by the murderer in advance!”

“Eh?”

Mumu Shisan hadn’t reacted yet, and asked, “But, why is Boss Zhenzhong holding that note?”

“Hey–it’s very simple.”

Kogoro Mouri has gradually entered the state, as if he had been shot by Conan, and analyzed clearly: “The murderer only needs to say this: you look at the note at the back, it says the name of the murderer. So true. The husband must go back and get it, but Mr. Manaka picked it up and found that it was not the name of the murderer, but a note.

Tian! The shocked boss Manaka picked up the ball pen on the table, trying to cross out the name and write down the name of the real murderer.

“But, that was a pen that the murderer put down beforehand, so Mr. Manaka only threw it away later!”

“This is actually a trap that the district hand uses a ball pen that cannot write, and a silent video tape to induce us to reasoning that is different from the real situation!”

“As expected of Master Maori, really amazing!”

On the side, seeing Kogoro Moori finished speaking, Echizen slapped his hands quickly, admiringly said.

“Hahaha, of course, in this world, there is no case that the famous detective Kogoro Moori can’t solve, hahaha–!”

Moori Kogoro, who was already ecstatic, heard Echizen’s compliment, and didn’t know who his name was. He stuck out his long tongue and laughed.

Listening to Kogoro Moori’s last words, and the unflattering laughter, everyone present had a black line on their faces.

Especially Echizen and Conan.

“Ahem–”

Mumu Thirteen really couldn’t bear it anymore, interrupted Kogoro Moori’s laugh, and asked questions that he still didn’t understand, and said, “Brother Moori, although your reasoning is wonderful, we just found it on the spot. A ball pen can write.”

“Police Officer Mumu, the nib of the ball pen we found at the scene was put away. Both Conan and I can testify about this. Zhao) Will you turn the pen tip in?”

At this time, Echizen was disgusted by Kogoro Moori, and he has decided not to give Kogoro Moori a chance to show off. Otherwise, Echizen himself cannot guarantee that he will vomit.

“So, was this ball pen replaced by the prisoner later?” Mumu Shisan finally understood something.

“Yes! The one who owns a ball pen that can’t write now is the murderer.”

Echizen looked at Curator Ochiai: “Mr. Curator, you are the murderer, right?”

“Hey–just as you said, Mr. Detective.

Curator Ochiai sighed, looked up at the ceiling, and said somewhat lonely: “Maybe you think this is a bit stupid, because he wants to destroy this sacred museum, so I want to get rid of the demon. He never wants to get out of my hands. Take away.”

As he said, Curator Ochiai suddenly placed his gaze on Kubota who had just crawled out of hell, and said, “Also, I took away my own children, the precious art, and the shop who sells works casually. You will also be punished.

“Chancellor Ochiai, this is different from painting. You yourself have been punished!” After hearing the words of the curator Ochiai, Kogoro Mouri said.

“No, it’s not C!”

Curator Ochiai shook his head and said, “Just like that painting, although the righteous Cavaliers killed the devil, he was also baptized by the evil blood of the devil. This means that he himself was also contaminated by the devil!”
