Chapter 20 Tang Zezhao is sleeping, but not completely asleep

Tangze lowered his head, and his brown hair fell softly, completely blocking his face, making it impossible for anyone standing in front of him to see his expression clearly.

Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Mao Lilan, who had noticed the movement and came over. She suppressed her voice and muttered excitedly: "Is he imitating your father? That's the 'Sleeping Moori Kogoro'. Look at Karasawa-san's appearance."

The atmosphere, 'Sleeping Karasawa'... is so cool!"

"Sonzi..." Mao Lilan backhand pressed Suzuki Sonoko's hand that was taking out a cell phone to take a picture, and controlled the restless Yangou classmate.

Conan, who was squatting behind Tang Zezhao, began to talk about the doubtful points of the case.

"In order to imitate the scene in the painting "God's Punishment", the murderer deliberately killed the deceased opposite the painting, and moved other exhibits in this location in advance. In addition, the murderer was always wearing the armor on display in the surveillance video. These are

Everyone is sure that the murderer is familiar with the museum and is one of the staff.

"Then why did the murderer who was so familiar with the scene choose to commit murder within the surveillance area? He works here, and there are many opportunities to attack in blind corners of surveillance, or to temporarily cover the corresponding camera."

Police Department Mumu touched his chin and tried to answer: "Is it because the murderer thinks it doesn't matter if he is wearing armor and is exposed to surveillance?"

"I think this is to prove that the piece of paper in the hand of the deceased Zhenzhong's boss was his suicide note, which means that this video was deliberately left by the murderer. Officer Megure, you can look at this piece of paper carefully under the light.

Article, are there many strange scratches on the handwriting of 'Kubota'?"

According to his statement, Mumu Police Department picked up the evidence bag and checked it, nodded and said: "Indeed, there are many horizontal scratches on the words... Could it be said!"

"Yes, this is probably the real handwriting left by the deceased during his lifetime. He was not writing his name at that time, but picked up the pen to cross out the name!"

The Mumu Police Department took out another evidence bag and looked at the ballpoint pen in the bag: "However, the thickness of the lines and the color of the handwriting are all correct for the pen we found. Although the comparison and identification have not yet been done, the preliminary judgment

, the words written by this pen are correct."

"Indeed, the person who wrote this line is most likely this pen."

"But you just said..."

"But it wasn't the last one that the deceased caught. What the deceased picked up was a pen that couldn't write!" Conan poked his head out a little to observe the position of everyone in the venue, then retracted and continued, "When Conan found the pen

, its refill was in a stowed state, and it was unlikely that the deceased had pressed the refill back when he threw it away. However, in the surveillance video, the murderer did not touch the pen until he left. After that, only a few of us came in. Art

The museum staff were called to the inner hall again only after the police arrived.

"In other words, the murderer took advantage of the chaos and replaced the pen on the ground after the police arrived, which means... the pen that can't write is still on him!"

Conan stretched out his short hand from the gap between the two steps of the ladder, trying to hold Karasawa's right hand, and pointed at the bearded old man, who was also the director of this place, Director Ochiai.

He stretched out his hand but found nothing.

Conan was stunned and startled. He raised his head and saw Tang Ze, who should have been sleeping deeply, holding on to the side of the ladder and getting up.

Why did he wake up so quickly?! Damn it!

Conan almost subconsciously left the ladder and hid behind a display cabinet. Otherwise, when Karasawa stood up, Conan, who was huddled behind him, would be directly exposed.

However, Karasawa did not ask any questions, nor was he at a loss, but walked straight towards Director Ochiai.

He reached out and pulled out a pen that was exactly the same as the evidence from Director Ochiai's suit pocket through the handkerchief.

"I didn't even have time to press out the refill. The murderer must have been in a hurry at the time. He probably didn't have time to wipe the pen clean." Karasawa continued Conan's reasoning smoothly, "Tell me, can I find Boss Manaka's signature on this pen?

Where are the fingerprints?”

Everyone in the audience looked at Director Ochiai, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Except for Conan, whose shocked expression was directed at Karasawa.

"...You are absolutely right, child." Director Ochiai leaned on crutches, looking melancholy and relieved.

The police officers who had just surrounded Kubota all turned their heads and walked towards him. Police Inspector Megure frowned and took the pen handed over by Karasawa, and drew on the notebook. Just as Karasawa had reasoned, nothing was written.

That piece of paper was not a suicide note from the deceased, but a arrangement with Kubota's name written on it in advance to make Kubota take the blame!

"Excuse me, where were you at the time of the crime? Do you have an alibi?" He asked, but the police department was actually signaling to his subordinates to prepare handcuffs.

"I am wearing this knight's armor, standing here, waiting for Boss Manaka to come to the appointment." Director Ochiai, whose plan was exposed, did not make any quibbles. He just put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge "Scourge", "Waiting to send this

The devil is like this painting, pierced here."

"In order to complete this creation, I practiced for a long time in advance, including the route, camera angle, and possible reactions of Boss Manaka. I have all considered it."

"So the rumor about the armor walking around means that you are practicing killing." The Megu police department suddenly realized.

Although he was mentally prepared, Tang Ze was still confused when he saw the murderer standing on the same spot and pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

You, the murderer in the world of Ke Xue, are a bit too martial-minded.

However, he still had to accept the role. Karasawa praised the scene and asked: "Is it because he wants to close this art museum and convert it into a restaurant? He chose to frame Kubota because he has been secretly selling exhibits and completely disrespects art?"

"

"That's right, I have been the director of this art museum since the day it was completed. Every exhibit is like every child of mine. I can't tolerate them." Director Ochiai looked around at everything with nostalgic eyes.

.

"It's a pity that you are not a righteous knight who kills demons, you are just a vicious murderer, and you were arrested." The Megure Police Department frowned and waved, and two police officers stepped forward to handcuff Director Ochiai.

"The knight who kills the demon has himself been contaminated by blood and has his feet buried deep in the mud. This is the meaning of "God's Punishment"." Director Ochiai did not resist, but just met Karasawa's calm gaze, "So all my plans

, will fall into the eyes of children, this is the punishment I deserve."

Tangze knew that the old man was saying that he and Conan worked together to solve the case. Unfortunately, except for him and Conan himself, no one would notice the word "we".

Thinking of this, Tang Ze turned around and glanced at Conan, who was frozen in the corner, not knowing where to put his arms and legs.

Conan was sweating more than Kubota who was falsely accused.

From this point of view, Karasawa, like him, had locked in his heart that the murderer was Director Ochiai. The step he took when he was stabbed was probably to reveal the truth...

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have needed the anesthesia injection. It was over. As long as Tang Ze told me what happened just now, Xiao Lan would definitely...

But Tangze just glanced at it and ignored Conan who was unable to move. Instead, he walked to the Memu Police Department and asked: "The murder method of this case is complicated, the scene is shocking, and it is also related to the recent supernatural rumors. It will definitely be investigated."

It’s been widely reported, could you please hide my name and not disclose it to reporters?”

"Why?" Memu Police Department looked surprised, "Your name is Tang Ze, right? Brother Tang Ze, your reasoning is very exciting. After this case is reported, everyone will only appreciate your talent. You are very suitable for the role of detective. This

We should also solemnly thank you for your assistance to the police, and we will make it clear to reporters."

Brother Kudo suddenly disappeared, so he got a new external brain. However, this new brother seemed to want to run away, so he had to persuade him.

Tangze looked troubled, leaned close to the ear of the police officer, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

I saw that Police Officer Megu's expression was full of confusion and shock at first. He looked up and down at Tangze several times before patting his shoulder with compassion: "I understand, okay, then I respect your idea.

I will tell everyone not to reveal your name."

Even though his identity was on the verge of being exposed, Conan couldn't help but wonder what Karasawa had just quietly said to the Memu Police Department, and he wanted to hear it.

However, when he saw Karasawa squinting his eyes and approaching him step by step, Conan ignored his curiosity and reflexively kept retreating until he was like a frog nailed to the dissecting table, with his hands and feet limply pressed against the wall behind him.

.

He now felt like a dead person who had just been carried away and was about to be nailed here with a sword.
