Chapter 44
Warning Line
After hearing what Idarui said, Edogawa Conan thought for a moment and affirmed Idarui's statement just like Toru Amuro praised her idea.
Edogawa Conan raised a smile, but Daterui didn't know what he was thinking, so she could only look at him in confusion.
"Huh? But he said that the entrustment has nothing to do with the grandpa, the museum owner?" Ida Liuyi asked.
Edogawa Conan shook his head and said: "Maybe his commission may not really have anything to do with the museum owner, but there is no need to ask more about this matter. I think there should be an answer later."
"...?"
Daterui looked at the person in front of him, but Edogawa Conan didn't reveal much. It seemed that he knew more, so Daterui didn't ask any more questions.
The reason why Edogawa Conan will roughly understand the reason after hearing Daterui's words after returning is because the museum's closure this time was also a sudden visit by the owner of Kuki.
The owner of Kuki Hall hopes that Uncle Maori can investigate the dangerous things that his two sons and daughters have been doing recently. It seems to be related to the closing of the hall after today, but this involves Mr. Kawai, one of the former partners of the owner of Kuki Hall.
However, after being entrusted by the owner of Kuki Hall, although Mouri Kogoro conducted a secret investigation, there was no substantial evidence. And just today, Edogawa Conan has not seen anyone related to this commission.
After Edogawa Conan heard about Toruya Amuro's private commission and what Rui Date said just now, he connected the two things together.
Perhaps Toru Amuro received a request from the children of the owner of Kukikan, or perhaps from one of Mr. Kawai.
Just two hours before the museum closed today, Toru Amuro went elsewhere in the museum because of a call from his client. Originally, Edogawa Conan wanted to catch up, but he had no choice but to be stopped by Mourilan and did not catch up with Toru Amuro.
Later, before the owner of Kuki Museum left because he was still busy with work after the museum closed today, Mouri Kogoro and others met the children of the owner of Kuki Museum.
In this regard, the owner of Jiuxi Pavilion also specially introduced it to everyone.
As for the reason for this, apart from the polite introductions, it was probably the matter that the owner of Kuki Hall entrusted Kogoro Mouri to do in the first place.
However, Mouri Kogoro's expression cannot be scrutinized, but when the children of the owner of the Kuki Hall arrive, he will inevitably have a verbal dispute with the owner of the Kuki Hall.
The sudden quarrel was something that even Idarui and the others did not expect.
By the time Idarui saw the three people arguing with each other, the children of the owner of Kuki Hall were already quarreling red in the face. The presence of Mouri Kogoro and other people in the hall prevented the quarrel from getting serious.
"If anything happens, you can talk about it when you go home!" The master of Jiuxi Pavilion didn't look good. He looked at his incompetent children and his face was full of displeasure. Even the tone of his own words was obviously unhappy.
When Mouri Kogoro and his family received the commission, they learned from the owner of Kukikan that their family's relationship had deteriorated sharply since a year ago, but they did not expect it to reach such an extent.
So during their quarrel, Mouri Kogoro also tried to persuade them to calm down a little in order to break up the fight.
However, his behavior was ridiculed by Kukii, the son of the owner of the Kuki Hall. Even the words Kukii said even a child in Idarui felt that the other party was a bit too much.
"Outsiders should stop worrying about other people's affairs. I'm really full." Kukii knew that he was in the wrong, but other people's eyes were obviously looking this way. He didn't want to make things worse again, so he had to put it aside. Those words are no longer spoken.
He felt that he had said enough, but the master of Kukii Hall never agreed to Kukii's rude request from beginning to end.
Today is the last day of the deadline, and Kukii can't wait any longer.
Kukii secretly thought, and finally after seeing the vague eyes of the people around him staring at them, he could only go to the office of the owner of Kukii Hall and wait.
After seeing her brother leaving angrily, Kuki Kiyoko, the daughter of the owner of the Kuki Hall, bowed slightly towards the owner of the Kuki Hall and the invited Mouri Kogoro and others.
Although Kuki Kiyoko had just had a quarrel with the father of the museum owner, unlike Kuki Kiyoshi, Kiyoko still said goodbye to them in a polite manner.
"I'm sorry, their temperament is just like this. It's a joke for all of you." The owner of Jiuxi Pavilion sighed, and said helplessly after the two left and others stopped watching the fun.
Mao Lilan waved his hands and said words of relief.
Not long after, the lonely figure of the owner of Jiuxi Pavilion turned away and made people feel a little "poor". Maori Lan also said some words of regret, and although some people agreed with them, there were still many things that Maori Kogoro had to do next, and there was no extra time for him to stop.
"You guys, please take a look around the museum first. I have something to talk to the owner of the Kuki Museum. You guys, please don't run around. Do you hear me?"
Mouri Kogoro straightened his collar and went He told Mao Lilan, Ida Liuyi and others.
After getting responses from several people, Mouri Kogoro glanced at them before walking in the direction where the master of Kuki Hall left.
Similarly, after seeing Mouri Kogoro leaving, Maori Ran also turned her mind to Edogawa Conan and others behind her. She bent down and asked Edogawa Conan if they wanted to go to the museum. Where to view art.
Although Edogawa Conan was thinking, he still answered Maori Lan seriously.
[Let me guess, the deceased is you! The son of a bad-tempered curator! ! You are simply one of those people with a full stack of buffs. ]
[But Mr. Kawai hasn't shown up yet, there's only the photo the curator gave Uncle Mouri when he commissioned it at the beginning, um... it can't be that he's the one who died, right? ]
[No, no, no, think about it. If you choose one of three suspects, who is most likely to become the deceased? Although it is cruel, the owner of Kuki Hall is the one who is most suitable for the victim. After all, the direct contact person for his children and Mr. Kawai is the owner of Kuki Hall himself. ]
[ Ridiculous, but Uncle Maori is gone. He won't be the first discoverer or one of the suspects. ]
[Wake up, this is not the theatrical version. Uncle Maori might even become a key suspect in the theatrical version. (Music)]
[However, the appearance of the owner of Kuki Museum is the same as that of Conan’s original museum director, and he is almost becoming a public holster! ]
[It's an NPC, but his son is handsome. According to the first law, the murderers in some cases are handsome men or beautiful ladies. ]
[This is just a guess, isn't it? Let me bet! ]
Ida Liuyi looked at the barrages flying in her mind, and she pondered for a moment.
It seems that there will be a new case today, but Daterui is not sure who the deceased is, and how to lead Edogawa Conan to the unknown case victim to prevent what has not happened yet.
At this time, Idarui and the others were some distance away from the place they had just visited, and it had been some time. Mouri Kogoro didn't know what he was talking about with the owner of Kukikan, but he still had no sign of coming back.
She was thinking that Uncle Maori would be a suspect as those mysterious people said, right?
Ida Liuyi shook her head. While Mao Lilan kept looking at her phone and paying attention to her surroundings, she had no intention of continuing to look at the exhibits. At this time, the visitors around had already left one after another, and the new ones came in. There were very few people, but there were still a few people.
"You're weird." Edogawa Conan's sudden voice startled Daterui. When she looked at Edogawa Conan, he happened to be looking at her for who knows how long.
I think those words were all directed at her.
When Edogawa Conan saw that Daterui didn't answer, and Daterui was stunned and at a loss what to do, he continued to ask: "Is there anything strange about the exhibit?"
After all, it was genuine. As a child, Edogawa Conan thought that Daterui might not be able to understand the stories behind these exhibits, so he subconsciously wanted to explain some professional knowledge points to the other party, but Edogawa Conan did not expect that the other party would care. Not this.
"Well...I always have an uneasy feeling." Daterui thought about it carefully. She couldn't tell Edogawa Conan what she saw, so she could only choose to tell him in other obscure ways. .
But just when she said this, Kukii seemed to come out of an exhibition room, with a frightened expression on his face.
For a moment, everyone who noticed Kukii put their eyes on him.
Among them are Edogawa Conan and Daterui.
Kukii's body was stained with blood, causing others to scream in surprise. Then Kukii's eyes widened and he shouted in horror at Maori Lan and others who had just met in the hall: "Hurry up and report. ...Call the police!"
"Someone is dead...!"
Soon after, Edogawa Conan ran in the direction where Kukii came from and said the same thing to Mao Lilan before leaving: "Sister Xiaolan, call the police."
"Okay." Mao Lilan said without stopping. Then she took Kukii with her to the crime scene and before that, she comforted the passers-by who were still at the scene. , hoping that no one would leave before the police arrived, causing other things to happen later.
Daterui and Haibara Ai followed Edogawa Conan to the crime scene. This time they saw Mr. Kawai, whom they had never seen before, at the scene.
Several people gathered at the scene of the crime. After Mao Lilan brought Officer Memu and others, a cordon was set up inside and outside the museum.
