Vol 20 Chapter 26: Silent video

After watching it several times, Xie Chen turned off the screen and walked out of the monitoring room.

At this time, at the scene of the murder, Officer Mumu was explaining the final handling.

"Police officer, I found it."

Two police officers walked in with a white cloth bag, "Mr. Kubota found the armor in the cabinet."

"Have you found it?"

After the cloth bag was placed on the ground, blood-stained armor was exposed.

Kubota's face suddenly turned pale, and he screamed, "How is this possible! I don't know at all!"

Mumu Shisan said: "There are two hard evidences, this blood-stained armor and the note left by the victim before he died."

Although the facts are in front of him, Xie Chen, who has carefully observed the surveillance video, knows that it is not a note before dying. It is a trap designed by the prisoner to put the blame on Mr. Watian.

"It's terrible blood." Kogoro Mouri walked to the cloth bag and said, "Good art has become waste."

"No." Iijima walked over and said, "It was a copy for decoration. I did see Mr. Kubota moving in during the day."

"At that time."

Only then did Xie Chen understand that it was just a copy, so when Kubota beat the helmet, Curator Ochiai didn't say anything.

Iijima said to Kogoro Mori: "The armor used for the murder is a replica, so the original is not spoiled, and other art works seem to have not been harmed."

Xie Chen, who heard from the side, immediately turned around. There were clearly explanatory cards on the wall where the murder occurred, but no paintings.

The prisoner should have removed it in advance to protect the artwork from blood stains. The prisoner is really a person in the art gallery.

But then I thought, this may be a trap for Mr. Kubota to have no alibi. If this is the case, the only person who can do this is the curator.

"Then Mr. Kubota, please come to the department with us, please." Officer Mumu said.

"not me……"

Ignoring Mr. Kubota's defense at all, the two police officers around him directly forcibly framed him.

"Uncle, where is the toilet?" Xie Chen immediately walked to the curator Ochiai and asked.

Curator Ochiai pointed his finger and said, "Toilet, go out of this room, and there are stairs after turning right. Just go down to the end of the stairs."

"You just use your mouth to say that I am not clear." Xie Chen took out a piece of cardboard and handed it to the curator Ochiai and said, "You help me draw on it."

Curator Ochiai had to take the cardboard and put his hand in his arms.

"Just after leaving this room, then..."

Just when he took the ball pen out of his arms to draw, his pupils suddenly contracted and his hands stopped in midair unnaturally.

auzw.com "What's wrong with you, uncle." Xie Chen asked, "Why didn't you paint?"

Xie Chen's disturbance brought everyone's eyes together.

"By the way, uncle, you knew that ball pen can't write anymore before you started writing." Xie Chen pretended to say innocently: "But, it's so strange, knowing that you can't write a ball pen, why do you still use it? Put it on your body?"

Kogoro Mouri also found the problem, and murmured with his hand under his chin, "Wait a minute, if the ball pen used by the boss can't write, then this note with traces..."

Xie Chen nodded and waited for Kogoro Mouri to continue.

"It should be a blank piece of paper..."

Xie Chen smiled helplessly and had to point to the note in Kogoro Moori's hand and said, "Look, are there any strange marks on it."

"Yep?"

"Are there any traces of scribbling with a pen without ink? That is the trace of the original text written on it, and I want to draw it away with a ball pen that cannot be written."

Xie Chen's inadvertent reasoning caused a cold sweat on the face of Curator Ochiai, "This kid..."

Kogoro Mouri also suddenly realized, so he said loudly: "By the way, this is not the character written by the boss, but the character written by the prisoner, which was already written from the beginning."

Meguro said: "But why does Boss Manaka take that note?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "It's very simple. The prisoner said that to everyone. He said, look at the note at the back. The prisoner's name is written on it."

"But the note everyone took was not the prisoner's name. It said Kubota. Boss Manaka was taken aback. Do you want to erase that name with a ball pen on the table and write down the prisoner's real life."

"But I can't write it. Why? It was a ball pen that the prisoner had put there beforehand. It was a ball pen that couldn't write."

After listening to Kogoro Mori’s reasoning, Meguro Judo said, “That’s why Boss Manaka wants to throw away the pen and then rub the paper off with his hands.”

Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "In other words, using silent video tapes and pens that cannot be written to induce us to reasoning that is different from the truth. This is the trap set by the prisoner."

After speaking, he showed his unique funny laugh again.

"But, the pen I found can write." Mumu Shisan interrupted his laughter.

"Uh..." Mouri Kogoro trembled, unable to speak.

Xie Chen had no choice but to say: "When the ball pen was discovered, the nib was stored in it."

"So to speak..."

Hearing what Xie Chen said, Moori Kogoro suddenly realized, "How could someone who would be killed immediately return the pen to its original state on purpose."

Mumu Shisan fiddled with the ball pen in his hand and said, "So, was this ball pen replaced by the prisoner later? At that time, I didn't get the nib out for a while and put it down."

"In this way, the person who has a ball pen that can't write should be the prisoner." Kogoro Mouri looked at the curator Ochiai, and slowly said, "That is the curator Ochiai, the prisoner is you, isn't it?"

Curator Ochiai was silent, and Kogoro Mouri continued: "Then, can I ask you questions, did you have an alibi when the murder happened around 4:30?"..
