Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened, she tugged on Hanyu Qing'an's sleeve, and asked in confusion: "What's going on? This curator killed the person? Why did he surrender after you just chatted for a few words?"
Hanyu Kiyosu didn't particularly understand the brain circuit of this curator. Now when he thought about the person he met in the bathroom before, it seemed that the old man was not worried about death, but the judgment of the underworld after death.
He pondered and explained: "The reason why he didn't surrender before was probably because he was so old and felt that it was worthwhile to live enough and die with others, so the price to pay for killing someone was actually less than that of a young man."
"For him, the remaining days of his life are counted on his fingers. Surrendering himself to reduce his sentence will have little effect on him. He will spend the rest of his life in prison."
"And if the case is investigated one day later, he will be free for one more day. If he does not surrender and delay, he may be dead by the time the truth is found out."
"But now I know that this matter is not over after death. He escaped in the earthly world, and he still cannot escape in the underworld. He will also be charged with murder and absconding."
"In this case, we cannot simply think about it as before. Surrendering yourself is not to reduce the criminal law in the world, but to reduce the guilt after going to the underworld."
Suzuki Sonoko was confused. Is it so complicated?
…
After receiving the report, Officer Megure and others hurried to the control room. They were all a little surprised by the surrender of the museum director. They just got the clues, and you surrendered here?
Mouri Kogoro was not confused at all. He straightened his tie, coughed slightly, stood up, and said to the curator:
"Okay, I understand. I think this curator has also read my daughter's work, "Maori Detective Casebook", so he realized that it is wrong to cause trouble to others, and wants to surrender, right?"
Officer Memu suddenly looked stunned. It turned out that this case was the same as the previous murder case of the dentist lady!
The curator turned his head and glanced at him. The expression under his eyebrows and beard was a bit unclear, but Mouri Kogoro directly stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, and continued:
"I know, you wanted to see me, that's why you didn't confess your guilt at the beginning, right? Do you want an autograph or a handshake? It doesn't matter, just tell me."
After saying that, Mouri Kogoro looked at the museum director expectantly with uncontrollable pride. Another murderer surrendered under his charisma. His brilliance couldn't be concealed even if he wanted to.
, but feel free to come for this kind of thing, it won’t be troublesome if you come as much as you want.
The curator of the museum looked at the guy in front of him and shook his head, confused.
The old man walked directly to Officer Memu and said, "If you want to know anything, just ask."
Mouri Kogoro leaned forward again and reminded: "Really, don't be embarrassed, I have always been very generous to my fans. I am very happy that you can surrender yourself because of me."
The curator looked at him strangely, as if he were a fool, and then turned to look at Officer Megure. It turned out that the latter was also curious about this matter and asked: "So, why did you surrender?"
The curator was silent for a moment, and then spoke his thoughts calmly, "I read the news a few days ago. Since gods, monsters, and the underworld exist, even if I escape legal punishment now, I will still have to do it after my death.
Being judged.”
"In this case, it would be better if you can commit less crimes, and surrender yourself so that you can cause less trouble to others."
Officer Memu's face became more serious, "Since you already knew and cared about what happened after death, why did you still kill people?"
The curator's eyes finally emerged from under his eyebrows, but his old gaze looked particularly firm, "I did hesitate and waver, worried that I would be punished for killing someone if I went to the underworld after death."
"But it is precisely because of this that I temporarily decided to take action in advance. If I continue to wait, I am afraid that I will give up."
"If that's the case, wouldn't the demon like Manaka, who desecrates sacred works of art and wants to take these children away from me, continue to cause trouble to the world?"
"So, even if I have to suffer retribution after death, I will get rid of him first!"
"There is also Kubota who sells art casually." The curator looked at a man in the crowd, who was so frightened by the curator's gaze that his face turned pale and he took half a step back.
"I originally wanted to take you away with me, or give you some other punishment, but I'm old after all. I injured my waist when I killed Zhenzhong. I probably don't have the ability to kill the second one.
Alone."
"Furthermore, the decision to kill was made in a hurry, and there must be many loopholes. Even if I don't surrender, you should be able to quickly know that it was me who did it..."
"Indeed, when you killed Manaka, the pen you were carrying fell out of the armor." Toru Amuro wrapped a ball pen in a handkerchief, "There should be some things that can be checked on it, such as fingerprints and clothing fibers.
evidence."
The curator looked at the pen and sighed, "This was specially ordered for the 50th anniversary of this art museum. I always carry it with me."
"In addition, the death portrait of the deceased is exactly the same as the painting next to it, so the meaning is obvious. You have to use such artistic techniques to kill people. You are probably the only one here who can do this."
After speaking, Toru Amuro turned to Mouri Kogoro and said, "Teacher, am I right? There should be no problem, right?"
Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, straightened his back quickly, and nodded with a deep expression, "Well, you did a good job, Amuro, and you have lived up to my usual teachings to you."
Officer Memu was in a daze on the sidelines. He didn't expect that a few casual remarks about the underworld at the press conference that day would be more powerful than the police and the law.
Prisoners will surrender because they are worried about being judged by the underworld after death, but they don't worry about the laws of the world. This is really...sigh...
Later, under the questioning of police officer Megure, the old museum director explained the motive and the murder process.
The former owner of this art museum sold the place to Manaka, but the condition was that he continued to operate the art museum. As a result, Manaka immediately wanted to convert it into a hotel after acquiring it.
The curator, who has always regarded the art museum as his home and the art as his children, simply couldn't accept this. He couldn't tolerate the art he had carefully cared for falling into the hands of such a person, so he had the idea of murder.
As long as Manaka dies, this art museum will be saved.
The legend about walking in armor that Mao Lilan heard before was that he was rehearsing a murder, but before he was ready, he saw the press conference about extraordinary beings.
After learning about the existence of the underworld and worrying that he would waver and give up, the old man made a temporary decision to start in advance, which was full of loopholes.
