Chapter 199 Guardian Knight
The guests were in chaos, and screams were heard one after another. When everyone was retreating, Mouri Kogoro, Conan, Megure Police Department and others rushed forward.
"Hurry up and put down Miss Mio!" Mouri Kogoro pointed at Sawaguchi Chinami who was operating the machine next to him and shouted: "Pull up the curtain too!"
"Don't be nervous, we are the police!" When the subordinates went to rescue people, the Mumu Police Department showed their ID cards and reassured the guests: "Please stay calm and wait aside, we will handle this matter!"
I have to say that when everyone is attending a banquet in fine clothes, they will feel uncomfortable seeing the police present; but when they are in danger, seeing the police appear is like seeing a savior.
People subconsciously obeyed the command of the police department. The employees of Tokiwa Group also began to maintain order due to the order of the police department. Some people who rushed to the elevator and wanted to leave first also came back.
"I don't want to run away, I'm just worried that being involved in the murder case will hinder my future reputation." Someone reluctantly explained to his female companion, who rolled her eyelids and gave him a roll of eyes.
The Megure Police Department arranged for Takagi Wataru to stand outside on duty, and then entered behind the curtain. At this time, Tokiwa Mio had been placed on the ground by Mori Kogoro. He reached out and felt for his pulse, and said sadly and indignantly: "It's... hopeless.
.”
Conan looked closer, and as soon as he saw the pearl necklace around Mio Tokiwa's neck connected to a piano wire, he was lifted to the side by Rensaburo Shiratori.
"Conan-kun."
Officer Shiratori's tone was gentle, but the serious and disapproving look from the adults still made Conan feel ashamed, and he quickly walked aside.
"The necklace is connected to a piano wire." Chiba Kazunobu, who was squatting next to him, checked it and soon made a discovery: "This wire..." He raised his head, and everyone else did the same thing.
Thin piano lines connect the huge, fresh and elegant spring scenery of Mount Fuji.
"It seems that this is the direct cause of death." Shiratori Rensaburo speculated: "Her pearl necklace was caught by the piano wire with a hook, and the piano wire was wrapped around the beam and connected to the easel. When the painting was lowered,
She was pulled up."
"Damn it!" Mouri Kogoro said angrily: "Who on earth did such a cruel thing!"
His sharp eyes swept over the most suspicious people one by one - Sawaguchi Chinami, who was operating the lifting machine, and Kazama Hidehiko, who stood to the left and right of Tokiwa Mio, and Kisaragi Minesui.
There was nothing unusual about Nami Sawaguchi, she was shocked and a little scared. However, her boss died, but there was no sadness on her face...
Do they usually have conflicts?
Having seen so many plastic feelings of being at odds with each other and laughing in front of others but killing people behind their backs, Mouri Kogoro sighed in his heart as he was used to it, and temporarily listed Sawaguchi Chinami as a suspect.
Then, he looked at the next person and was suddenly startled.
Hidehiko Kazama, who was still standing in his original position, was staring straight at Mio Tokiwa's body, sweating profusely and his face was pale, much like he looked guilty and frightened when the murderer was about to be exposed. But his two hairs
The trembling appearance was clearly frightened.
Is this your first time seeing a dead body?
Mouri Kogoro muttered in his heart.
As a famous detective who handles murders in three steps and murders in five steps, his suspicion of this man has been reduced a bit - he is so timid and does not seem to have the psychological quality of a murderer.
Then, he turned his head to look at Ruyue Fengshui behind him, but first he saw Conan standing in the corner.
The little boy held a smooth and round pearl in his hand, and his sharp eyes even made people feel a little scary.
Mouri Kogoro had a vague suspicion in his mind, and he looked at the person who was being stared at by Conan.
——Wearing a traditional kimono and holding a cane with both hands, Minesui Kisaragi was looking up at his paintings without even looking at Mio Tokiwa on the ground, and even had a faint smile on his lips.
Mouri Kogoro felt a chill in his heart.
This gesture of Kisaragi Hosui reminded him of a person - Mouri Kogoro (actually mainly Conan) had solved a murder case in an art museum. The same was true when the murderer's crime of the museum director was exposed. There was no trace of it at all.
He looked remorseful or scared, but instead threw his head back and laughed, as if he was very happy and free.
This person...
Mouri Kogoro frowned.
With the halo of a famous detective around him, he didn't need to secretly observe and speculate like Conan. Instead, he walked straight to Ruyue Fengshui and said: "Mr. Ruyue, can you tell me what you are doing before the curtain opens?"
Several policemen who were speculating on the murderer's method of killing all looked over.
"Me?" Ruyue Fengshui glanced at him and said with a smile: "Of course I am standing in this position, waiting... for the moment when the screams sound!"
"What?!" The police were all surprised. Unexpectedly, he admitted the crime directly.
The Megure Police Department suddenly looked solemn, and his voice became a bit stern: "So, you admit that Miss Tokiwa was killed by you?"
Although this policeman usually looks chubby and talkative, in fact he can still be very bluffing when he is serious.
But Ruyue Fengshui seemed not to feel his majesty at all. He sneered and walked towards Tokiwa Mio on the ground with a cane.
The old man carried an awe-inspiring aura. Seeing him walking towards him, Chiba Kazuno unconsciously took a step back. Shiratori Rensaburo was about to stop him, but Kisaragi Fengshui had already stopped.
He had no intention of damaging the body or destroying evidence. He just bent down and placed two things next to the body.
A string of broken pearl necklaces, a few beads rolled to the side. Some rolled to Tokiwa Mio, lightly touched her hair, and then stopped.
Mio Tokiwa also wore another identical necklace around her neck. This was undoubtedly evidence that he had committed the crime.
The other is a milky white small wine glass.
Seeing this familiar small wine glass, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Mouri Kogoro asked hurriedly: "Both Ogi Iwamatsu and Hara Jiaki were killed by you?"
Megure Thirteen was ready to draw his gun. He asked sharply: "Are you the Kurosawa Formation? Why did you and your accomplices assassinate Masaki Kenzo? What is your plan against Mr. Yasuki Domon?"
Rensaburo Shiratori, who was also holding a gun, thought to himself: ...Why wasn't this cup broken?
Chiba Kazunobu, who was eight beats too slow to react: Wait...what's going on? The murderer revealed himself? Is this guy the murderer of the serial murder case? Could he be a professional killer? How is it possible? This old man's beard has turned white...
Kazama Hidehiko: What? Hara Yoshiaki is also dead? When...wait, Masuyama Kenzo...Domon Yasuki...what do those big shots have to do with this case? Could it be...
The forty-year-old architect looked at Ruyue Fengshui in horror, and something in his mind instantly inspired the secondary fantasy in his heart that has not yet been extinguished.
——There is a big boss killer hiding next to me!
Ruyue Fengshui, who was originally in a relaxed mood after the revenge and didn't care about anything, was also stunned by their reactions. After reacting for a while, he said: "Yes, I killed her."
This fact was the only thing he knew best.
As for the rest... what the hell are they all about? Is there something wrong with the minds of these police officers?
Ruyue Fengshui thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply ignored it.
"Why?" Mouri Kogoro whispered angrily: "What is your motive for killing?"
Although there is no deep relationship between the two, and it was only after Moori Kogoro became famous that the two got in touch again after many years, Mio Tokiwa still called him senior after all, and everyone in front of him and behind him was very fond of him.
Respect. She was killed, and Mouri Kogoro must find the murderer for her no matter what.
"What's the motive?" Kisaragi Fengshui glanced at the corpse on the ground, suddenly smiled, turned to ask Hidehiko Kazama next to him: "Mio suddenly came to me to apologize just now, did you remind her?"
"No..." Kazama Hidehiko looked at him and said tremblingly: "No..."
"No?" Ruyue Fengshui frowned: "She suddenly came to talk to me about that matter after she was obviously talking to you. Who else could it be if you didn't remind her?"
"It's me."
Suddenly a voice came from behind. Conan was startled and turned around to look——
Kitahara Sosuke and his butler Kamino Higashi came in.
The police department sighed inwardly.
Well, he should have thought of it earlier... That boy Takagi is quite diligent, but he has no dignity at all in front of these guys who have their own way of doing things. Even children can coax him around.
People have already come in, and it is impossible for him to drive them out. Megure Police Department did not mean to interrupt. After watching Kisaragi Hosui see Kitahara Sosuke, he was surprised at first, then suddenly realized, and finally settled on an indescribably bitter look.
Still smiling with emotion.
"Hahaha... Even a young man like you, who has only met once, can tell, but Mio Tokiwa has always turned a blind eye. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Seeing that the policemen were still confused, he simply explained himself——
"I am a Japanese painting painter who specializes in painting Mount Fuji. For decades, I have been going back and forth to paint on a small hill in Nishitama City, where I can enjoy the very beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji."
"But as I get older, it becomes more and more difficult for me to climb that mountain. So just three years ago, in order to continue painting Mount Fuji during my lifetime, I bought that hill and built a house in the most beautiful place.
I built my studio. From that window... I could see the whole of Mount Fuji at a glance. But that woman... that woman... did such a thing!"
He poured the ink he carried onto a mop, then grabbed the mop and swung it hard, slapping it hard on the priceless painting and dragging it downwards!
In the bright and fresh spring scene, a long ink mark directly split the painting in half!
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
