Chapter 36 The Poor and Tragic Knight~

The next day, in a conference room in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Gao Mushe looked at the several transcripts in front of him, stood up and bowed: "I really bother you, making you waste your precious time and make a trip."

Mouri Kogoro immediately smiled and scratched his head and said, "Officer Takagi is too polite. This is what we should do."

Shu Yunwen also smiled and said: "It is our obligation to cooperate with the police in handling cases!"

Officer Takagi turned around and went out. Not long after, another police officer walked in and called out Kogoro Mori and Xiaolan. Suddenly, only Conan, Shu Yunwen and Heisaburo Matsushita were left in the conference room.

"Shu Yunwen, why did you help Director Ochiai cover up the crime yesterday? The real murderer should be Director Ochiai, right? Kubota was framed as the murderer by Director Ochiai!" Conan stared at Shu Yunwen.

Shu Yunwen yawned boredly and rolled his eyes: "Little friend Edogawa, I don't quite understand what you mean! What do you mean by helping Director Ochiai cover up a crime? I don't even know who the murderer is.

I don’t even know, okay? Also, when you address your elders, you can’t directly call them by their names. You have to call me ‘brother Yunwen’, do you understand?”

Conan stared into Shu Yunwen's eyes: "The real culprit is Director Ochiai, that's right. When Boss Manaka was killed, although Kubota's name was written on the note in his hand, that name was written in advance

Okay. After forcing Boss Manaka to the place where the ball pen that couldn't write and the piece of paper with Kubota's name on it were placed, Director Ochiai said to Boss Manaka, "Look, the murderer is written on that piece of paper."

's name'. Later, when Boss Manaka saw Kubota's name written on it, he picked up the ball pen next to him and wanted to cross it out and write the name of the real murderer."

"But of course he couldn't write anything. Because the ball pen couldn't write anything at all. However, his actions of writing and drawing on the paper were used by the murderer, making the police officer think that this was

Kubota’s name written down by Manaka’s boss…”

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes: "Friend Edogawa, you have said so much, do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence? The evidence is the ball pen that can't write." Conan said, "Originally, at the scene, this would be a piece of ironclad evidence that could make Director Ochiai plead guilty. Unfortunately, it seems that you should have discovered it.

, it was destroyed in advance. The ball pen in Director Ochiai’s hand at that time must have belonged to Vice President Matsushita, right? You deliberately snatched the ball pen away, and then asked Vice President Matsushita to draw a map for me to go to the toilet.

It’s just to let the Vice President of Panasonic touch the ball pen and leave his fingerprints. This is just in case, the police will conduct forensics on the ball pen, right?”

Well, I have to say that Conan was right again.

Shu Yunwen's initial thoughts were indeed like this.

"However, even if Director Ochiai is temporarily acquitted, he will still be suspected by the police and caught before long. As for Mr. Kubota, he should be acquitted by tomorrow at the latest.

..." Conan continued.

Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

Conan was silent for a moment and then said: "Actually, in addition to the ball pen that can't write, there is a lot of evidence that is enough to prove that the curator is guilty and Kubota is innocent."

"First of all, it's the word 'Kubota' on the piece of paper. At the scene, due to limited conditions, the police were unable to do more detailed verification. They would take it for granted that the word 'Kubota' was the name of Manaka's boss.

It was written down. However, once they arrive at the police station, the police officers will definitely conduct a more detailed appraisal of all the evidence. Then, they will find that the word 'Kubota' does not match the handwriting of Boss Manaka.

It was not written by the same person at all. After they have doubts, they will identify the scratches on the paper, and they will find that those scratches were left by the real boss. The police officers are not stupid. With these two

Click, they will naturally think that the piece of paper was prepared before. Moreover, the ball pen captured in the surveillance camera cannot write anything at all!"

"Furthermore, there are blood stains. There are blood stains on the armor. If a normal person wants to take off the armor, no matter how careful he is, there will definitely be blood stains on his body and clothes. But Mr. Kubota did not get any blood stains at all.

, and it is impossible to find hidden clothes with blood stains, etc. As for wearing a raincoat or something, although it is feasible, it will still leave a raincoat stained with blood. In short, no matter what, in the end, the raincoat with blood will definitely be left behind.

Things with blood stains, and there was no time to deal with them. But Mr. Kubota only found armor with blood stains on it. Isn’t that strange?"

"Finally, there are hair and dander. Just like the blood stains mentioned before, as long as the murderer comes into contact with the armor, it is likely to leave hair, dander, lint on the clothes, etc. These are still easy to collect.

Identified. As long as the police find something, they will definitely find that there will be Mr. Curator’s hair, dander, fluff, etc. on it. Moreover, these things may be stained with blood..."

Conan said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "Of course, these are the evidence chain that is enough to conclude that Director Ochiai is the murderer. In addition, there are some other evidences. To prove Kubota's innocence

, any one of them is enough. And the evidence that is enough to conclude that Director Ochiai is the murderer can be collected in three to five days at most..."

Conan's reasoning left Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heisaburo speechless.

If it is true as Conan said, then it seems that Director Ochiai will not be able to escape the crime completely no matter what!

After all, Director Ochiai has been practicing with that set of armor. I believe the evidence left in that set of armor is enough to convict him!

Shu Yunwen felt uncomfortable being stared at by Conan, so he squinted his eyes and used a trick: "Conan, sometimes I wonder, you are just a child, why are you so powerful?"

"Uh..." Conan was hit in the vital part, his blood volume dropped sharply, and he turned on the cute shot mode, "Oh my, I, I just listened to Uncle Maori!"

"Did Mr. Maori say that? Then let him tell me in person!" Shu Yunwen slapped Conan on the forehead, "Also, if you suspect that I am covering up Director Ochiai, then bring out the evidence.

!I won’t admit it without evidence!”

"Ouch."

Conan rubbed his head.

Damn it! If he had any evidence, he would have let Kogoro Mori sleep and expose Shu Yunwen!

Shu Yunwen is covering up Director Ochiai, and he doesn’t have a shred of evidence!

At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Takagi poked his head in, greeted Shu Yunwen with a smile: "Yunwensang, can you please come out for a moment? Officer Mumu needs your help..."

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Shu Yunwen nodded in agreement, then turned around and said, "By the way, Matsushita-kun, you go and wait for me outside the Metropolitan Police Department first. Officer Takagi, leave Conan here alone, it seems

Isn’t that appropriate? How about I take him there too?”

"This should be okay..."



Search the first class and find yourself in front of the police officer's desk.

Shu Yunwen walked over with Conan and greeted the familiar police officers around him.

Mouri Kogoro and Mao Lilan were in front of Officer Megure's desk. After Officer Megure saw Shu Yunwen, he stood up, said hello, and thanked him first: "Yunwen-san, thank you for coming to take notes today. It's really great."

Sorry to trouble you. In addition, our police have one more thing that I would like to ask Yun Wensang to recall carefully..."

"Memories? Memories of what?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.

Next to Shu Yunwen, Conan showed an understanding smile.

"The content I asked Yunwen-san to recall is about the case at the Medieval Art Museum last night." Officer Memu motioned Shu Yunwen and Conan to sit down, and then said, "Please allow me to tell Yunwen-san about this case first.

The latest progress of the case. Originally, our police should not disclose the progress of the case to the outside world. However, because Mr. Maori and Yun Wensang have helped our police a lot before, and you were all present in the case last night.

You can provide us with certain reference opinions. Therefore, I will make an exception to inform you..."

"...After we came back last night, we conducted a detailed appraisal of the evidence found at the scene, and the final results showed that Mr. Kubota, who was brought back by our police, is most likely not a prisoner."

"Ah..." Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes, then remained silent.

Officer Megure paused for a moment, then continued: "As for the detailed identification results of the evidence, they must be kept confidential, so I can't tell you. However, due to the identification of the evidence, Mr. Kubota's suspicion has been reduced, and we, the police, believe that

, he was most likely deliberately framed by the real murderer. Everyone knew that when they were at the scene, the armor was found in Mr. Kubota's cabinet. Since Mr. Kubota was not the murderer, someone must have taken the bloody armor.

Putting the armor into Kubota's cabinet can only be done by someone who is familiar with the museum. Therefore, the number of crimes committed by employees in the museum may have increased..."

"Now, our police are conducting a second investigation on the employees in the Medieval Art Museum."

"Excuse me, when you were at the scene, did you notice anything strange?"

Shu Yunwen shook his head and said: "No."

As for Mouri Kogoro, he looked thoughtful, and then said: "I still think that the vice president of Panasonic is very suspicious..."

Shu Yunwen: "..."

Xiaolan: "..."

Conan: "..."

"..." Officer Megure smiled helplessly, "...Mr. Mori, don't be kidding me! That Panasonic vice president left long enough to commit the crime. Moreover, the main target of our suspicion now is to attack the museum.

Someone who is very familiar with the company internally. The vice president of Panasonic should not fall into this category."

At this time, Conan suddenly said innocently: "Ah! Officer Megure, speaking of it, if Kubota is not the murderer, then he is really unlucky! During the time of committing the crime, if he had not happened to be killed

If Uncle Ochiai, the curator, arranges to work in the office, then he will not be suspected..."

Shu Yunwen reached out and rubbed Conan's head.

This little guy is clearly trying to roundabout ways to remind Director Ochiai that there is a problem!

"Hmm..." Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro woke up at the same time, and then Officer Megure said, "That Director Ochiai is indeed very suspicious and needs to be investigated."

When Shu Yunwen heard this, he sighed helplessly.

Being targeted by the police, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Director Ochiai was caught.

He originally wanted Director Ochiai to spend his last days outside the detention center, but now it seems that is unlikely.

Officer Memu asked some more questions. Shu Yunwen was confused here, and Mouri Kogoro was all kinds of funny. After chatting for a while, Officer Memu had something to do, so Shu Yunwen, Moori Kogoro and the others said goodbye and left.



Returning to the office full of thoughts, Shu Yunwen glanced at the reception room. When he saw a figure, he was stunned for a moment and quickly motioned to Matsushita Heisaburo behind him: "Matsushita-kun, please invite Director Ochiai to my office.

inside."

"Yes, Lord Yunwen!"

Shu Yunwen returned to the office, and less than a minute later, Heisaburo Matsushita walked in with Director Ochiai.

Shu Yunwen smiled slightly and pointed to the sofa in front of his desk: "Director Ochiai, please sit down."

"Hai, Lord Yunwen." Director Ochiai nodded and sat down on the sofa.

Matsushita Heisaburo took out three cups from the cabinet and asked: "Director Ochiai, would you like something to drink?"

Director Ochiai's voice was low: "Just a glass of water will do."

After a pause, Director Ochiai continued: "Sir Yunwen, Matsushita-kun, I really want to thank you both for what happened yesterday. I didn't expect that this seemingly young child would have such keen observation...

"

Shu Yunwen pouted: "Director Ochiai, did we do anything else yesterday? Also, don't think you can escape the police's investigation like this. Now, the police have concluded that Kubota is not the real murderer, and they have begun to doubt you.

Already..."

"I know." Director Ochiai replied softly.

"You know?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "You must have been prepared to be caught a long time ago, right?"

Director Ochiai said: "That's right. From the moment I wanted to kill Boss Manaka, I was prepared to be caught. Lord Yunwen, do you know? In my heart, the Zhongse Museum of Art is like

My children are the same. The previous owner did not manage well, and after the art museum was sold to owner Zhenzhong, I thought that with the help of owner Zhenzhong, the art museum could be rejuvenated and attract a lot of customers. However, I really didn’t expect that Zhenzhong

The boss guy actually wanted to convert an art gallery into a hotel! From the moment I knew the news, in my eyes, he was not a human being at all, but a devil! A devil with an ugly and corrupt soul!

"

"Since he is a demon, he should not exist in the world. Therefore, I must get rid of him! I want to become a knight who kills demons!"

Director Ochiai finished speaking. Beside him, Matsushita Heisaburo poured water and coffee and was about to turn around to give Shu Yunwen, Director Ochiai, then he saw an incredible scene. The tray in his hand could not be grasped firmly and it fell to the ground with a clang.

——

In his eyes, a layer of clearly visible transparent knight armor suddenly appeared around Director Ochiai. It looked like it was real.

"Curse"!

Director Ochiai had already been influenced by that painting at that time.

Shu Yunwen frowned slightly: "Director Ochiai, it may be rude to ask this... But, do you know what's going on with you? I have to tell you that in your current situation, you should be in the hell exhibition hall.

, influenced by the painting titled "Heavenly Punishment"..."

"I know a little bit, but it's not important." Director Ochiai shook his head, "Actually, everything is just like what was painted in that painting, right? I became a knight and killed the devil.

But it is also stained with evil blood. However, as long as we can kill that demon, it will all be worth it."

Shu Yunwen stared at Director Ochiai: "Since you are ready to be arrested, why do you deliberately frame that person named Kubota?"

Director Ochiai replied softly: "That's because I still have some things to deal with, so I need someone to attract the attention of the police; as for why I chose Kubota... because this hateful guy has been secretly reselling the art museum.

Shouldn’t he be punished for the artwork inside? Of course, I won’t really frame him as a murderer, I just want him to have a taste of it. When the police prove his innocence or I surrender,

I will hand over the evidence I collected that he secretly resold art works to the police, so that he will receive the punishment he deserves. He must pay for what he has done!"

When Director Ochiai spoke, his voice went from low to high, and in the end it almost sounded like a roar.

It seemed that Kubota was as ugly as a devil in his heart, but his sin did not lead to death.

"Hmm..." Shu Yunwen nodded, "It seems that you have made a decision, so I won't say more. However, I have to remind you that you'd better hurry up. Even if the police are temporarily unable to use the evidence,

If not, if I don’t arrest you, you’ll be dead within half a month at most.”

Director Ochiai was silent for a while, then asked: "Is it because of... that painting?"

"That's right." Shu Yunwen nodded, "You should have noticed it, right? During this period of time, you were energetic, energetic, and very strong. That's because your soul was affected by that painting.

.However, because of this, your soul has been affected, and you will definitely die in half a month at most!"

"Actually, I can feel it." Director Ochiai responded without saying anything else, as if he had already accepted it all.

Shu Yunwen then said: "By the way, Director Ochiai. The painting in the art museum is just a disaster if it is left in the hands of ordinary people. If possible, I would like to collect that painting, is that okay?"

"No problem." Director Ochiai agreed, "However, that painting cannot be given to you for free..."

"Ten million yen." Shu Yunwen offered a price.

Director Ochiai nodded: "Later, I will have someone deliver the painting. Please have the money ready, Mr. Yunwen."

After saying a few words casually, Director Ochiai stood up and said, "Sorry, Lord Yunwen, I still have some things to deal with, so I have to leave immediately. However, I still want to thank you, thank you.

Give me help."

"Well, you're welcome." Shu Yunwen said.

Director Ochiai asked again: "By the way. Can Yunwen-san return the ball pen that Yunwen-san took from me yesterday?"

"Ms. Matsushita, where is the ball pen?" Shu Yunwen turned around and asked.

Matsushita Heisaburo immediately said: "It's in the safe in the office. I'll get it right away."

After Heisaburo Matsushita brought the ball pen, Director Ochiai said goodbye again, got up and left.

"Yun, Lord Yunwen, you, did you see it just now? On Director Ochiai's body..." Matsushita Heisaburo stammered.

Shu Yunwen nodded: "Of course I saw it."

"Director Ochiai... is a pitiful and pathetic knight!"
