Xiao Ai asked about the Moongazer Serpent in Xiaolan's garden and then returned to Hell Hall. Xiao Lan admired Xiao Ai's courage." She actually returned to the scene. Isn't she afraid of the corpse?”
In any case, Xiaolan did not dare to return to the scene. The charred corpse was terrifying just thinking about it.
"It's not just her. Xiaolan, isn't your Conan the same? She really didn't know if children nowadays were brave or crazy. What was there to see at a crime scene?”
Hearing Yuan Zi's words, Xiao Lan was stunned.
Oh right…Conan doesn't seem to be afraid of corpses either…Are all the kids nowadays so powerful?
……
When Xiao Ai returned to Hell Hall, she heard Police Department Megamu and Mochizuki discussing the pen and paper. It turned out that the pen and paper on the booth had been discovered.
"Why is Kubota's name written on this piece of paper?”
"I'm not sure either. I saw it when Xiao Ai and I came in.”Mochizuki pretended not to know and asked,""Mr. Kubota, did you write this?”In the entire art gallery, there was only one employee with the surname Kubota.
Wa Tian quickly shook his head." No, no, no! I didn't write it. I don't know why there was a piece of paper with my name on it. And this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case, right?”
Megure muttered to himself," It really doesn't seem to matter.“
Mochizuki knew that the pen and paper were originally used by Director Ochiai to frame Kubota, but now that the plot had changed, the pen and paper became useless. There was one thing that caught Mochizuki's attention, and that was the smell of kerosene.
If he didn't choose to self-immolate after killing someone, then someone had set fire to him remotely. The ignition tool was the burnt electronic device, the remote ignition device.
The inside of the armor had been smeared with kerosene in advance, and the mastermind had taken the opportunity to remotely ignite the armor when he committed the crime…But the problem was that the armor had been sprayed with kerosene, so why was he still wearing it?
With such a strong kerosene smell, as long as there was nothing wrong with his nose, he would definitely be able to smell it!
Was there something wrong with her nose?
The Moongazer Serpent suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately asked,""Is there something wrong with his nose?”Who knew that when Mochizuki asked this question, Conan actually asked in unison with him, and their lines were exactly the same.
After asking this question, Mochizuki and Conan looked at each other in surprise. Police Chief Mu Mu also looked at the two of them in shock. What was going on? Have you rehearsed your lines beforehand?
Xiao Ai crossed her arms and watched this scene with interest.
Although Xiao Ai wasn't sure what Mochizuki was thinking, she could tell that Mochizuki's reasoning was on the same page as Kudo Shinichi's...
" As expected, he's not an ordinary person…" Xiao Ai muttered to herself.
Mochizuki frowned and reprimanded Conan." Why are you imitating me?”
"Ah! I'm, I'm sorry!" Conan felt very aggrieved. We clearly spoke at the same time. How did I learn from you?
At the same time, Conan felt a warning in his heart. The Moongazer Serpent actually analyzed this? His reasoning skills were very good!
This discovery made Conan even more wary of Mochizuki.
Just now, Mochizuki asked if there was something wrong with the nose of the artist, and the staff immediately started discussing. As he had expected, many people knew about this matter. At one point, he even treated white wine as water and only realized it when he drank it.
The answer was obvious. Someone had noticed that he was going to kill someone in armor, so they used his lack of smell to set a trap and remotely ignited the kerosene in the armor, making people think that he had committed the crime and set himself on fire.
……
"I think I know what this case is about.”the Moongazer Serpent suddenly said.
"What's going on?" Officer Megamu was overjoyed and asked.”Although Police Chief Mumu had previously guessed that the man killed someone and set himself on fire, that was only a guess. In fact, he himself felt that it was not very reliable.
Mochizuki didn't immediately explain the situation, but looked at the appraiser who was just a bystander. It was the boss who brought the art to appraise, but the boss died before he could appraise it.
"Before I explain the situation, I need the appraiser to confirm something.”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on the appraiser. The appraiser pointed at himself in shock." What does this have to do with me? I'm just an appraiser. I don't know how to solve cases!”
"I'm not asking you to solve the case. I want you to verify if the works here are authentic.”The Moongazer Serpent expressed its thoughts. Everyone felt that it was strange. Only Kubota's expression changed.
Although the appraiser was baffled, he still walked over to the nearest painting to take a look.
"Eh? What's going on…Why are the details of this painting so rough?”After a while, the appraiser exclaimed in surprise," No! This is not the real thing! This is a fake!"
"How is that possible? Everything here is authentic!" Director Ochii rushed forward and checked the room together. Then, she exclaimed," Impossible! Why did it become a fake?"
After inspection, many paintings in the Hell Pavilion had inexplicably become fakes.
Everything was just as Mochizuki had expected. Director Ochiai had an almost morbid love for art, but in the original novel, he killed people next to the art without worrying about damaging the art at all. There was only one possibility. The artwork here was fake!
The real one had been stolen and sold by Kubota, which was why Director Ochiai killed Boss Shinaka and framed Kubota.
"I understand!" In a moment of desperation, Director Rakai started to fool everyone." It must be Ijima! I heard that he likes to gamble. He must have secretly sold the artwork and replaced it with a fake. He was afraid of being discovered by the buyer, Shinju, so he killed Shinju. Then, because of his conscience, he chose to commit suicide.”
It was not entirely impossible, but Conan immediately raised his objection." The supernatural incident has been circulating for a week. Would a murderer who practiced for a week commit suicide because of conscience after killing someone?”
These words hit the nail on the head, leaving the director speechless.
Mochizuki spoke again," There is no doubt that the man who killed Boss Shinjuka is the one who killed him. But, he didn't commit suicide. He was killed by someone else, and he left us a clue.”
"What clues?"
"It's the pen and paper on the booth."
Megure remembered that the name Kubota was written on the paper, but he soon realized that something was wrong. "That's not right, Mochizuki. Didn't you say that when you came in, it was already written on the paper? At that time, the incident had not happened yet. How could he have left the name of the murderer in advance? Did he foresee that Kubota would kill him?”
"No, he didn't. He had prepared a piece of paper with Kubota's name on it in advance. His original intention was to frame Kubota after killing him…Unfortunately, things were unpredictable, and this piece of paper did not come in handy in the end.”
