It had been a few days since the incident in Ginza, and the fishing boats had gradually calmed down. This time, the police department and the Detective Squad were in the limelight. Not only did the Detective Squad receive a public commendation from the police department, but the police department itself also received high praise from the media, especially the commander Megure, the members of the operation, Sato, Takagi, and Long Yuehuang, who played the most important role. They were all hailed as the hope of the Japanese police, and they naturally received commendation and rewards from the police department. After listening to Yue Huang's story about Chu Sui at Long Yuehuang's house, she was very impressed by the filial and kind siblings. She especially liked Qi Ye, who was a strong girl. She kept pestering Yue Huang to bring them to visit the prison. After going there once, the three girls became friends in a short time. Not long after, Yue Huang used her identity to bail Qi Ye out and let her work as a maid at the house.
"Hurry up, Dad." At the entrance of the art gallery, a beautiful young girl coquettishly said, followed by two "objects"-a middle-aged uncle and a child in blue.
"Lan, how can this art gallery be haunted? " Really, my vacation is gone just like that..." The uncle, who was Maori Kogoro, complained. Conan, who was beside him, nodded helplessly. "It doesn't matter. You guys came over after hearing what I said, so you're just here to take a look, right, Conan?”Seeing Lan's sweet but dangerous smile, Conan nodded his head mechanically and followed Lan in. " Seriously, it's all because of you..." Thinking about how Lan had knocked off a corner of the desk with one punch, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat...
"Eh? Isn't that person Phoenix?" Mao Li and Conan suddenly heard Xiao Lan's surprised cry. They looked up and saw that it was indeed Moon Phoenix. "Let's go. Don't be absent-minded again.”Mao Li said helplessly. "Eh, where is he?"
Moon Phoenix suddenly appeared behind Lan and smiled." Isn't this Lan? Why are you here?"”"Didn't you hear that this place is haunted and came here out of curiosity?”Mao Li said disdainfully. "Dad," Xiao Lan said threateningly. Mao Li immediately broke out in cold sweat. "What about you, Phoenix?"
"I'm here to buy the exhibit. That person just now is the art gallery director here. Because this place was about to close, I paid to buy some of the items I liked as a token of my appreciation. After all, I was an old acquaintance of the curator.”Yuehuang laughed. "What is it? Closing the door? Is it because it's haunted?" Xiao Lan suddenly asked.
"I don't think I've heard of such a thing. Why don't I ask the director?”" No need, no need. Don't trouble the director with this kind of thing, haha…" It seemed that Xiaolan was also embarrassed. "Then, you guys can take a look around first.”After Moon Phoenix finished speaking, she left.
On the way back, Moon Phoenix bought a few lunchboxes. It was lunchtime when she returned, so she distributed the lunchboxes to Sato, Takagi, and Chiba. Of course, there was also a portion for Megure. As for Yumi? She had gone out to patrol and had not returned yet. However, Moon Phoenix had told her to eat some delicious food outside. Yumi naturally agreed.
" I don't have much time to relax, so…" Moon Phoenix, Sato, and Takagi, something happened. Bring the forensics team and set off.”After hearing Megure's words, the group of people began to move and arrived at the scene of the incident.
"Huh?" When they arrived at the scene, Moon Phoenix and Mu Mu were surprised to find that Mao Li and his family were also there. Ignoring Mao Li's theory of " events call for a famous detective ", Moon Phoenix noticed the painting beside the deceased…" No way, my painting!”Hearing what Moon Phoenix said, everyone turned their attention to Moon Phoenix and found that she was looking at a painting beside the deceased with a bitter expression.
"This Heavenly Punishment? Could it be that Phoenix wants to buy an exhibit?”Xiao Lan said in surprise. "Yes, I found the most satisfying work here. It's the second part of the trilogy that I've been looking for.”"Trilogy, then what are the other two…"”Seeing that Lan and Thousand Moon Phoenix had started to discuss the artwork without any restraint, Mu Mu couldn't help but cough to stop the topic.
"Anyway, that's it?”Moon Phoenix repeated the case. " It's like this," Mao Li said.
"Chief, I think the criminal's appearance might have been recorded by this camera, right?”Conan suddenly said. "Eh? That's right. Let's go and take a look together.”Confused Officer Mu Mu brought a group of people to look at the surveillance video.
"Ah?" Seeing the armored man cruelly nailing the victim to death, Xiao Lan couldn't help but scream and grab the arm of the person beside her. When Megure stopped playing, Xiao Lan and the others finally noticed that Xiao Lan had been holding onto Moon Phoenix's arm. "Ah! Phoenix, I'm sorry. It must be very painful, right?”Xiao Lan knew that her nails were not very long, but they were very sharp. Moreover, she practiced karate and knew that she had a lot of strength. She asked hurriedly. "It's nothing. It's normal for girls to be afraid of these things.”Moon Phoenix smiled and said a few words of courtesy to Mao Li.
"What's wrong, Sister Lan?" Conan asked when he saw Xiaolan's confused expression. "Ah, nothing. It's just a little strange.”Xiao Lan said," I remember that when I first grabbed Phoenix's arm, I could clearly feel that his arm had hardened, but it instantly softened. It felt very strange.”Upon hearing this, Conan looked at Moon Phoenix's arm and saw red spots on her shirt. "Brother Yuehuang must have relaxed his muscles so as not to hurt Sister Lan, right?”Conan had a good impression of Moon Phoenix's actions. Following Conan's finger, Xiao Lan also noticed the bloodstains on Moon Phoenix's shirt. Feeling extremely guilty, she stepped forward to bandage Moon Phoenix's wound.
I think I know who the murderer is." Yuehuang suddenly said. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Yuehuang, I didn't expect it to be so fast.”The director suddenly walked in and said helplessly. "What?" The extras (including the police and Mao Li's family) asked curiously. "There's nothing to be surprised about. I admit that I'm the murderer this time. How did you find out, Yuehuang?" the director said frankly.
"When I saw the armored man attack the dead, I guessed it was you.”Yuehuang said calmly. "Why?" Takagi asked. "It's very simple. Those attacks were swift and powerful, and they hit the vital points. Among the suspects, he's the only one who could have done it.”" You don't know, do you?" Moon Phoenix said slowly." The old man used to be a combat instructor in the British MI5.”This shocked everyone.
"This old man is an instructor from MI5? Are you lying?" Conan was shocked. He then explained to Lan what MI5 was. This time, everyone looked at the director differently. "Hehe, that's all in the past. Right now, I'm just an art gallery director, a murderer. What's wrong? Aren't you going to ask me why I killed him?”The director asked casually. "Is it because he wants to tear down the art gallery?”Moon Phoenix spoke in a questioning tone, but it was convincing. "Yeah, this bastard. They had agreed to keep this art gallery, but now they were going to tear it down and throw away all the art! Did you know? The artwork here is the child of an old man. What would you do if you said that you wanted to abandon your child in front of your father??I want him to know that he was wrong. I want him to die the same way as the demons in the heavenly punishment. I want him to repent in hell!”
"However, what's the difference between you and those demons? You will still be punished by justice!" Mu Mu said in a deep voice. "Punishment of justice? No, no, it's not like that, Mr. Policeman. As for the rest, you can ask Yuehuang…Don't worry, Yuehuang, that painting is a fake. I've already sent the real one to your house.”Throughout the entire process, Moon Phoenix didn't say anything. She looked at the floor, deep in thought. The entire scene fell silent, as if they were watching a battle between a knight and a demon...
