Chapter 171: Another assassination

"Yeah?"

Noriko Amamiya looked at Conan in confusion, "I'm not a person with delusions."

"Ah...ah, Officer Megure and the others are going to check on the surveillance camera. Sister Noriko, let's go there too!"

Conan had a drop of sweat on his forehead and his head was covered with black lines. He tried his best to change the topic and pointed at Officer Megure over there.

Officer Memu: “…”

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the kid. Isn't this a strict crime scene? Why can this kid always stay at the scene?

And Noriko Amamiya... is also a subject who is often encountered in cases.

Mouri Kogoro, Conan, and Amamiya Noriko are all here.

But it would be okay if Noriko Amamiya was there.

After all, she was entrusted by the head of the Amamiya family, and Miss Amamiya is also very well-behaved and won't mess around at the scene, so it's not impossible to stay at the scene.

But he was still a little confused, why did Amamiya Noriko come again?

He looked at Sato Miwako who had brought Amamiya Noriko into the cordon: "Sato-kun?"

"You came to the Metropolitan Police Department just after you left Noriko. You heard that Xiaolan came over because she encountered a case, so I took her over."

Miwako Sato replied, then turned around and asked the staff to lead the way to the monitoring room.

Officer Megure nodded, "So that's it. Let's just say, Noriko must have come here because she was worried about her good friend Xiaolan. It's understandable."

"Let's go and watch the surveillance."

Of course, Conan also followed behind to watch the surveillance, but when he saw Officer Megure's reaction, there were dark lines in his head. He didn't expect that Officer Megure, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the dignified police department of the First Investigation Section, was also pampering Noriko Amamiya.

Is Amamiya Noriko that lovable?

Conan glanced at Noriko Amamiya, who was chatting with Xiaolan in the back. She seemed to be comforting the frightened Xiaolan. Well, her gentle and kind appearance was very endearing.

As for the other side of Amamiya Noriko, no, there are people who like Amamiya Noriko who looks cute but exudes malice and malice, right?

Amamiya Noriko also glanced at Conan who looked at her inexplicably, elementary school student, what did you discover?

Conan stopped looking at Amamiya Noriko in anger, fearing that he would be targeted and teased again.

Noriko Amamiya turned her head and continued to look at the staff member who led the way to the control room. There was nothing strange about her. She was just leading the way to the control room in accordance with the requirements of the police personnel.

But what she found strange was that the position of this guy was very strange. In the dark exhibition room, he was standing in the corridor directly behind him, and outside was the exhibition hall with better lighting. Amamiya Noriko looked at him a few times.

Every time? I saw his glasses reflecting light.

And can't see the face clearly.

"Although the reflection of glasses does not necessarily mean anything? But you still have a big problem."

Amamiya Noriko stopped looking at him for the time being, so as not to attract attention? She just followed him cutely and then it was over? She, Miss Amamiya, is secretly very valuable.

monitoring room.

Moori Kogoro and Officer Megure were watching the surveillance video playback there, while Conan stood on tiptoe and watched together.

Can’t tell who the murderer is from the surveillance? Because the murderer was wearing a suit of armor and antiques, so he took the opportunity to give the deceased Boss Zhenzhong a chop? Then he hit him from the front again? Then he gave Boss Zhenzhong a chance to pick up the paper on the table.

Pen.

Boss Manaka appeared to have written something on the paper before he died, and then threw away the pen. While holding the note, he was nailed to the wall with a sword, and then the murderer in armor posed with the name of "Heaven"

The exact same pose as the oil painting "Punishment".

A set of moves that are neat and tidy? Noriko Amamiya doesn’t even know? This old Ochiai director who looks to be in his eighties, with a thin body, white beard and bald eyebrows, has the strength to do so well.

Maybe this is obsession.

Director Ochiai felt Amamiya Noriko's gaze and couldn't help but look back at the little girl and smiled kindly at her.

"Noriko, right? Your grandpa and I have been friends for many years? There are many exhibits in this art museum that were gifts from your grandpa."

"Eh? My grandpa?"

Noriko Amamiya tilted her head. She wasn't familiar with her mother's family? She hadn't met her grandfather, but she probably knew him. He was a local gentry, but he wasn't in Tokyo either.

My mother seems to have eloped with my father.

"Does Grandpa Curator know my grandpa?"

Amamiya Noriko has nothing to do? Chat with him by the way? Ask about the situation.

Is this curator a more open-minded murderer? Unlike other murderers who knelt down in front of Conan and cried in regret.

His motive for killing was that the selfish deceased boss Manaka wanted to destroy his beloved art museum, which was like his own treasure, so he wanted to get rid of boss Manaka, and at the same time put the blame on Kubota, who secretly sold art from the museum.

.

"I just know him a little bit. He is a rigorous and elegant artist. I really want to entrust this museum to him. That way I will feel quite at ease."

Director Ochiai smiled slightly.

Noriko Amamiya could tell in his words that he was mentally prepared to be found out as the murderer, but he was still worried about the museum.

What a persistent old man.

If you want Conan to be unable to identify him as the murderer, it is very simple. Ask him to throw away the pen that cannot be written on, and then press out the pen tip of the pen in the exhibition room. In this way, the hand of the deceased boss Manaka has Kubota written on it.

The name on the note cannot be suspected.

After all, after writing the name of the murderer, he was stabbed to death by a sword, and he still remembered to press the pen back at this moment before death. This is too weird.

A small mistake is a big flaw in Conan's eyes.

If there is no problem with the pen, the surveillance camera will only think that it is the name of the murderer written by the deceased before his death, not that it was written by Director Ochiai in advance.

Of course, there is also a slight doubt. Boss Manaka was set up by Director Ochiai. When he saw Kubota's name on the note, he picked up a pen and frantically tried to erase it. When he wrote the real murderer, he found that the pen could not write, so he put the pen down.

Lost it.

But under the silent surveillance, he did appear to have written down the murderer's name before he died.

Therefore, there would be a slight suspicion when she lost the pen, but it was harmless. She summoned Mouri Kogoro, and this small doubt would naturally be covered up by Moori Kogoro who found the most reasonable reason and was far from the truth.

"The art museum you like, doesn't it matter if you give it to my grandpa?" Noriko Amamiya tilted her head and looked at him, as if she was just curious: "Grandpa, curator, do you regret what you have done?"

"Hahaha, no, I'm already old, what do I have to regret? The sooner I can see the art museum, the better."

Director Ochiai laughed heartily, which made Xiaolan next to him a little strange. This director was very fierce when he reprimanded Mr. Kubota for not treating the artwork properly. How did he talk to Noriko like this?

"But if I don't do it right, I may never see your art museum again."

Amamiya Noriko glanced at Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro, who had narrowed down the suspects to the staff who were very familiar with the museum.

At the same time, Conan went to play back the video without permission, letting them notice the scene where Boss Manaka took a piece of paper and wrote something before he died.

After reading it again carefully, I could see that the note was still in the hand of the dead Manaka.

The group was going to return to the exhibition hall to check out Manaka's body.

Led by Conan, the police were a bit sharp and progressed very quickly. Director Ochiai couldn't help but suddenly reacted. Looking at Amamiya Noriko's innocent appearance, he was a little unsure. Did the child notice something?

Back in the exhibition room, the police suspected Kubota from the "Kubota" on the note, because Kubota had a motive for committing the crime. He was selling art museum art in private, and was being demanded by Manaka's boss for a huge amount of money.

compensation.

Director Ochiai looked at Kubota's panicked explanation and said to Noriko Amamiya: "Do you think Kubota is the murderer?"

Noriko Amamiya tilted her head: "It seems like he could be the murderer."

As long as the clues left behind can be erased now, she looked at Conan who was looking for something on the ground nearby.

Conan will find the flawless pen later.

Director Ochiai was silent for a while when faced with Amamiya Noriko's words. He didn't answer with a yes or no answer. His eyes under his bushy white eyebrows couldn't help but glance at Amamiya Noriko a few more times.

Although it is hard to believe, the child seems to have seen through the trap he left for the police to push the suspicion towards Kubota.

Turning his head to look at the oil painting titled Heavenly Punishment, he stroked his beard and smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it is or not."

The biggest demon of selfishness has been slain and received the punishment he deserved.

Well, since the old man is so open-minded, Noriko Amamiya is not going to intercept Conan and let Conan solve the case properly.

She turned her head and looked at Conan, who had found the pen but still had doubts. After some reasoning in her mind, she was about to go to the monitoring room to take a look. At the same time, she also saw the staff member who was telling the police officer that he wanted to go to the toilet.

It was the man wearing glasses whose lenses kept reflecting light.

Amamiya Noriko asked Director Ochiai: "Is that uncle a staff member here?"

"Huh?" Director Ochiai was stunned for a moment, looked at the man wearing glasses, and said a little uncertainly: "Maybe he is new here. He seems to have arrived a little later than you. He was asked by the police to assist in the on-site identification."

"You came after me?" Noriko Amamiya thought for a while.

She watched the bespectacled man let out by the police and walked straight to the corridor. When she was still doubtful, the man suddenly turned around.

Noriko Amamiya could even see his extremely cruel smile under the other person's reflective glasses.

And the other party took out a pistol from his pocket, with only a muzzle exposed.

"Are you laughing so early?"

Amamiya Noriko's sharp eyes saw him moving his fingers slightly, leaning his body to the side, followed by the sound of a gunshot and the harsh sound of bullets whizzing past his ears.

"Fortunately, my reaction has improved a lot."

Amamiya Noriko was thinking, but she heard a muffled groan from behind, it's over, the person standing behind her at this angle is Director Ochiai, and the old man has walked away.

After a gunshot, the police in the exhibition room were stunned for a moment before reacting. Most of the police officers hurriedly rushed to the side to find a bunker. Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro were no exception. Moori Kogoro also took Xiaolan away.

Pulled to the corner.

He is a detective now, not a police officer from the First Investigation Section before. His superb over-the-shoulder throw was of no use in the face of gunfire.

Miwako Sato, who was not far away, reacted quickly and caught a glimpse of the other party's target being Noriko Amamiya. At the same time, she also saw the scene of Director Ochiai falling down after blood bloomed on his chest.

Seeing that the man in the corridor had not left, she immediately said: "Danger!!!"

Along with her voice, there was another gunshot.

Amamiya Noriko leaned forward and seemed to fall to the ground, but before falling to the ground, she transformed into a sprinting posture and dodged to the side.

The thought flashed through my mind like a flash of lightning. This guy was definitely a serious killer. He was disguised as a worker, and he actually dared to shoot even though he knew there were so many police officers at the scene.

I definitely grasped the psychological aspect, caught her by surprise, and shot her in a place I thought was safe.

After all, no one present could have imagined that with so many police officers here and a murder just taking place, this guy would find an excuse to run to the corridor and actually dare to turn around and shoot.

"Are you going to prepare a few shots and then I'll just turn around and run away from the corridor?"

Amamiya Noriko started running and sprinted to avoid the second shot, but she was really unable to withstand the third shot. The space in the exhibition room was not particularly large, so there was no room for her to run. She was really afraid of looking like Ochiai when she went to other people's places.

The curator also took the shot for her.

"Suffer death!!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the corridor, and a figure rushed out from the entrance of the corridor and fought with the man. The third shot missed her and hit a piece of armor, causing sparks.

Noriko Amamiya knew who it was by hearing the voice, Riho Chieda.

Okay, her bodyguard finally came in handy for the first time.

"呲——"

However, when Chieda Riho was bullying her into a close combat fight, the man suddenly pulled out a piece of smoke and threw it on the ground. For a moment, it was so dark that the exhibition room could not see anything at all.
