Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 76: If it's this suspicious, you can eliminate the suspicion directly
"Wait a minute..." Kogoro Mouri leaned forward.
"This composition..." Conan moved a little closer to the screen.
"It's just like that painting." Nan Ling said calmly.
"Which painting?" Megure obviously didn't notice the painting hanging next to it.
"It's the painting titled 'Heavenly Punishment'." Maori Kogoro stroked his chin, "I'm afraid he used this method of killing in order to imitate that painting."
Oh my, it's so rare that Kogoro Mouri can actually make reliable judgments.
Nan Ling leaned against the wall and watched the show.
"But what a bold criminal. If someone sees him dressed like this, it will definitely cause a commotion." Inspector Megure looked at the figure in the surveillance camera again, obviously confused.
"That's why there's a 'No Entry' sign on the road leading to this room," added Mao Lilan.
"What?" Megure turned and looked at Mouri Ran.
"Ran, that should be around four o'clock." Kogoro Mouri confirmed with Ran Mouri.
"That's right." Mao Lilan nodded, "But after five o'clock, the signboard was gone."
"The crime happened at around 4:30..." Megure looked back at the time displayed on the surveillance screen, "Then this sign must have been put up by the murderer."
"After separating the people, he went in wearing armor and killed Boss Manaka." Maori Kogoro frowned and thought, "Then the murderer should be someone who knows the inside of the museum very well."
"So..." Megure looked at the staff at the scene, "The murderer is among you!"
Nan Ling watched these people explain the case in detail one by one, and couldn't help but applaud in his heart.
Kogoro Mouri is quite smart... This is basically the situation now.
He doesn't look silly at all like in the comics.
Well……
Come to think of it, he should be able to guess Conan's identity...but he doesn't know when.
However, those things have nothing to do with him.
Conan, when everything is over, are you ready to receive a beating of love from your father-in-law?
Hey, speaking of Conan... These people have been analyzing for a long time, but where is Conan?
Nan Ling raised his head and looked around the room, just in time to catch Conan looking through the surveillance footage.
"Look, what is the boss doing?" Conan's cute childish voice sounded behind everyone.
"Hey, kid! Don't touch the videotape!" Kogoro Mouri immediately walked up to Conan, grabbed his collar and lifted him up .
Nan Ling walked up to Conan and rescued him from Maori Kogoro's hands.
"What did you see?" Nan Ling patted Conan on the shoulder.
"At the very beginning." Conan didn't have time to care about his messed up collar, and pointed at the screen and said, "When the murderer jumped in front of him. Look!"
"Hmm." Nan Ling took a closer look at the video, which clearly showed that the deceased grabbed a piece of paper, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote something on it.
"Death information?"
It's really common to see death information in Conan .
"Then he threw away the pen." Megure said as he looked at it, "Where's the note?"
"Hold it in your hand." Kogoro Mouri also looked at it very seriously.
The entire process of Boss Manaka's death continued to play on the screen.
I have to say, the murderer is quite skilled.
Wearing thick armor and holding a long sword that was so inconvenient to use in such a cramped environment, he was able to subdue an adult male with such agility.
However, since they had the information about the death, Nan Ling was naturally happy to go with the others to check the surroundings of the deceased.
"Report, this note was found in the victim's palm."
Megure took the crumpled piece of paper and unfolded it.
“This, this is it!”
"Kubota!" Kogoro Mori exclaimed.
A middle-aged man with a long face in the crowd behind immediately shouted in panic, "Why, why are you calling my name?"
Eh? The death message this time is not about the Riddler?
Nan Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This is strange, as many of the dead were riddle enthusiasts, the kind of fanatical fans who would burn the last bit of light and heat in their lives to devote themselves to the Riddler's lifelong career.
However, according to the routine, the murderer is definitely not this Mr. Kubota.
His name was already written in the death information. Nan Ling could directly rule out such a suspicious person.
"Maybe he wore the armor on purpose to avoid being caught on camera," Maori Kogoro said seriously, "but the victim recognized the murderer, so..."
Kogoro Mori looked at Kubota suspiciously.
Nan Ling touched his chin thoughtfully.
Well, there is a big problem with this statement.
Since we already know that Kubota is not the murderer, the note with his name on it seems extremely suspicious.
In the case of an insider crime, the killer should have known that there was a camera here. From the composition of the surveillance video, it can also be seen that the killer deliberately chose this location.
Moreover, judging from the ritualistic feeling at the scene, this case was clearly a premeditated murder. The murderer would not be so panicked that he did not have time to check the scene.
You have to know that the crime was committed at 4:30, and they didn't find the body until 5:00. It was enough time for the murderer to check the clues left at the scene.
So why did the murderer ignore the note in the victim's hand?
Then there is only one possibility.
there is only one truth!
Ahem... a bit childish.
Nan Ling covered his mind which was about to let go.
He already knew the purpose of the murderer leaving the note, but he had no idea about the relationship between the suspects, so he couldn't determine who the murderer was for the time being.
So, now it’s up to Conan to perform.
At this time, there should be cola, melon seeds, popcorn and so on... It's a pity that I didn't bring anything to eat.
"No...it's not me!" Kubota continued to retort, his face covered in sweat due to panic.
"Then tell me, where were you when the crime happened?" Megure did not express his doubts directly, but asked about the alibi.
"At that time... I was alone in the office... doing the work assigned by the director..." Kubota wrung his hands and backed away repeatedly.
"Yes, I did give him work." The dean, who had a long white beard and eyebrows, said slowly.
oh……
Nan Ling sighed meaningfully in his heart.
If he guessed correctly, he already knew the murderer.
But even if he told it now, he had no evidence. Plus, he was too lazy to explain...
Salted fish is done.
"That is to say, no one can prove that you were not there." Megure continued to press on.
"Please, please wait... please wait a moment!" Kubota waved his hands in panic, "I have no motive to kill the boss! I am innocent!"
