Strange footsteps approached from afar. Finally, a figure walked into Hell Hall. Xiao Ai's eyes widened when she saw the newcomer. She almost cried out in surprise because the newcomer was not a human, but a set of armor!
The armor was walking? Was the armor really walking? Was the supernatural event real?
"No…there must be someone hiding inside!”Moongazer moved closer to Xiao Ai's ear and whispered.
Xiao Ai's body trembled. The Moongazer Serpent noticed this and smiled. It deliberately asked in a puzzled tone,""What's wrong with you? Very cold? Or are you afraid?"
" It's nothing…" Xiao Ai answered with a red face.
The armor did not do anything after coming in from the door. It just stood quietly against the wall and did not move, as if it had turned back into an ordinary armor.
The Moongazer Serpent closed one eye and used the Eye of Death. An eyeball appeared out of thin air and floated toward the armor. His eyes pierced through the mold and saw the situation behind the helmet.
Just as Moongazer Serpent said to Xiao Ai, there was indeed someone inside the armor, but there was one thing that was beyond Moongazer Serpent's expectations. Mochizuki originally thought that the person hiding in the armor was Director Ochiai, because he was the murderer in the original novel. However, Mochizuki saw that the person hiding in the armor was not Director Ochiai, but the museum employee, Ishijima.
Why was it him?
The Moongazer Serpent frowned slightly. Previously, he had seen that there were only 30 minutes left on the island, but now, there was only one minute left.
What would happen next?
"Do you smell anything?”Xiao Ai suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Yes, you smell of shampoo.”
"I'm not talking about that!"
The Moongazer Serpent sniffed again and indeed, it smelled a pungent smell. He seemed to have smelled this scent somewhere before…
Just as Mochizuki was deep in thought, footsteps sounded outside Hell Hall again. Boss Shinaka walked in from outside. He didn't bring the appraiser with him. From his sneaky appearance, it seemed that he was going to meet someone here in secret.
"Not here yet?" Seeing that there was no one here, he muttered and then stood there waiting.
It was obvious that he had been invited over by someone.
Just as the boss was waiting, the armor behind him slashed at him without warning. Xiao Ai was shocked and subconsciously shouted,"Be careful!"
Although he shouted this sentence, it was already too late. The sword slashed at the back of the boss. He screamed and fell to the ground, his back bleeding. Because it was not a fatal injury, he did not die on the spot.
"Ahhhhh!" He turned over in fear, but his hands and feet were weak, and he was unable to get up and escape.
He didn't expect someone else to be hiding in Hell Dojo, but there was no turning back. He could only be reckless.
The Moongazer Serpent stood up. Since it had already been exposed, there was no need to hide. He didn't know why the person who did it was Ishijima and not the curator, but it must have something to do with the curator. Between Director Ochiai and Shin Nakagami, Mochizuki was more in favor of Shin Nakagami, so he decided to save Shin Nakagami.
After all, there was still Xiao Ai as an audience. Mochizuki felt a little bad for not helping the boss.
However, just as the Moongazer Serpent was about to attack, something unexpected happened. The armor suddenly seemed to have activated some kind of killing move. It suddenly ignited a raging fire and surrounded his entire body with flames.
Xiao Ai was dumbfounded." What happened? It could even burn? Is this a magic skill?"
"Aaah!" A heart-wrenching scream came from inside the armor.
"No, I can't! It was not a skill! It's really on fire!" The Moongazer Serpent instantly understood. The smell he had just smelled was kerosene! No wonder it was so familiar. It was because he had smelled it in the countryside before. The kerosene in the kerosene lamp smelled like this!
The iron man suddenly turned into a man of fire, and the Moongazer Serpent couldn't get close.
Even though his body was on fire, he still charged at Shinju-san and stabbed his sword through his heart. He then fell to the ground, screaming and struggling, and gradually stopped moving. He was burned to death, and before he was burned to death, he killed Boss Shinjuka.
The scream was very tragic and spread far away. The people outside also heard it.
"What happened?" Kubota, an employee of the art gallery, rushed into Hell Hall in a panic and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Soon after, Conan ran in as well. When they saw Shinju lying in a pool of blood and a set of armor burning on the ground, they could not react in time. "What…what is going on?”
"The armor suddenly attacked Boss Shinjuka, and then the armor itself caught fire," Xiao Ai replied.”
"This is a murder case!" Conan shouted,"Sister Xiaolan, call the police!"”
"What? Oh, okay!" Xiao Lan immediately took out her phone and called the police.
"Bang!" Something seemed to explode inside the armor, but it was not very powerful.
Mochizuki remembered that there was a fire extinguisher in the corridor, so he ran out to get it. He pulled out the safety pin and sprayed it at the burning armor. This was a fire extinguisher made of seven-fluoropane. Even if it was used in a confined space, it would not cause harm to people. It would be fine even if they inhaled the mist.
There was also another advantage, which was that no powder or liquid would be left behind after the fire was extinguished. It would not cause secondary damage to the fire scene, so it was most commonly used in places like the museum.
Finally, the flames were extinguished. The armor was steaming on the ground, and at the same time, there was the smell of roasted meat.
"Why do I smell the smell of roasted meat?”Yuan Zi asked, puzzled.
Mochizuki explained," People are already roasted. How can there not be the smell of roasted meat?"”
"What is it? People?" Yuan Zi was shocked. He pointed at the armor and asked,""Isn't this a supernatural event?”
"Do you really think that the armor came to kill on its own?”" There's no supernatural incident at all. Someone hid in the armor and carried out this murder plan.”
Upon hearing this, the smell of roasted meat in the air instantly faded.
" Ugh!" She covered her mouth and ran out. Xiao Lan didn't dare to stay here, so she ran along with the garden.
……
Not long after, the police arrived at the scene, led by Police Department Megami. Lan Yuanzi braced herself and led the police into Hell Hall. Fortunately, the exhaust fan was working hard, so the smell of roasted meat from before could not be smelled in the room.
"Eh? Wangyue Jun, why are you here?" When they arrived at the Hell Hall, Police Chief Mu Mu was surprised to see Mochizuki.
"I came to the art gallery with Xiaolan and the others.”Moongazer Serpent replied.
"I see. This child named Haihara was also here? Wangyue Jun, it was all thanks to you last time. Fortunately, you stopped Ka Ba Na from taking her hostage. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Mochizuki smiled modestly.”
Conan was very curious when he heard this conversation. He couldn't help but ask,"Uncle Mu Mu, what are you talking about?”
" Didn't three men target you guys before?" Megure explained with a smile." Didn't they die in a dust explosion?" We've found out the identities of those people. They're members of the Italian Bandits, and their boss is called Kabana…"
