Ke Xue: An outlaw, a maniac who sets out to usurp the throne! Chapter 093

The only people left in the medieval art museum were Director Ochiai, Keita, and two staff members guarding the main hall.

Then there were the visitors: Jiang Heng, Ran Mouri, Conan, Genta Kojima, Ayumi Yoshida, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya…

During the estimated time of the crime, the two staff members in the main hall never left.

As for Jiang Heng and the other visitors, they were always within each other’s line of sight.

Keita was alone in the warehouse, organizing things, so he didn’t have a solid alibi.

Director Ochiai was in his office, and there was no one to vouch for him…

Seeing Inspector Megure and the others’ suspicious gazes, Keita quickly waved his hands and said, “No—”

“It doesn’t have to be someone from inside the museum! Maybe… maybe someone from outside broke in.”

“After all, although the museum only has one entrance, it’s not impossible for someone to climb in through the surrounding windows…”

Upon hearing this, the other two staff members in the museum nodded hesitantly.

“That’s possible. After all, the museum has had problems with missing exhibits before.”

Hearing this, Inspector Megure couldn’t help but frown.

If that were the case, catching the killer would be… troublesome!

“Inspector Megure, why don’t we just check the surveillance footage?” Jiang Heng directly pointed to the surveillance camera in the Hell Exhibition Hall.

“Hmm?” Inspector Megure’s gaze sharpened.

“I almost forgot, we have surveillance cameras installed in every exhibition hall…”

Director Ochiai nodded and quickly explained.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure’s eyes immediately lit up.

Of course, to view the surveillance footage—

Equipment was still needed.

Therefore, Director Ochiai immediately led Inspector Megure and the others to the surveillance room…

Today’s surveillance footage was quickly retrieved.

As the police officers nervously and expectantly watched today’s surveillance video, Jiang Heng walked over to Director Ochiai’s side.

His peripheral vision thoughtfully glanced at Conan.

However, Conan was probably full of thoughts about the surveillance footage right now, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

“Director Ochiai.” Jiang Heng suddenly called out.

His voice wasn’t loud, just loud enough to reach Director Ochiai’s ears…

“Hmm? Is there something, Lawyer Jiang?” Director Ochiai subconsciously turned his head and looked at Jiang Heng.

“This is my law firm’s contact information.” Jiang Heng directly handed a business card to Director Ochiai.

“If you need anything, you can contact us.”

“Whether it’s a murder case or a land ownership issue… we have lawyers who can answer your questions.”

Upon hearing this, Director Ochiai’s pupils couldn’t help but contract.

It must be said that Director Ochiai, as an older man, was indeed very composed.

If Jiang Heng’s senses hadn’t been sharp, he might not have even noticed Director Ochiai’s abnormality…

Director Ochiai reacted quickly and directly took the business card from Jiang Heng’s hand.

“In that case… thank you very much.” Director Ochiai put the business card directly into his pocket.

As if he had thought of something, Director Ochiai looked at Jiang Heng tentatively and said,

“Lawyer Jiang, are you… the lawyer who only takes murder cases?”

“Of course.” Jiang Heng nodded.

Just then, the surveillance video happened to be fast-forwarded to the time before and after the incident.

Not knowing what they saw, Inspector Megure and the others couldn’t help but exclaim…

Seeing this, Jiang Heng lifted his foot and walked towards Inspector Megure and the others.

As he brushed past Director Ochiai, Jiang Heng’s hand moved.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Heng subtly glanced at Ran Mouri.

“This… the killer is that… that haunted armor.” Ran Mouri’s voice trembled with fear.

“Hmm?” Jiang Heng thoughtfully looked at the paused surveillance video.

He shook his head slightly and said, “It should be that the real culprit wore that armor when committing the crime.”

“It’s not the armor that actively killed someone…” Jiang Heng’s voice paused.

An armor with a history of over a hundred years could actually be worn and moved by someone.

And even used to kill someone directly!

Hmm… it must be said that this museum’s preservation of its exhibits seems to be quite good!

“Y-yes.” Ran Mouri breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As if he had thought of something, Director Ochiai couldn’t help but blurt out,

“Oh, the armor—”

“What?” Inspector Megure looked at Director Ochiai with a confused expression.

“That armor… it was placed in the Hell Exhibition Hall before.” Director Ochiai frowned.

“But now, it’s gone.”

“What?!” Inspector Megure was startled.

Whether someone wore the armor to kill or whatever, it seemed that—

In this murder case, that armor was definitely an important prop…

Even the long sword that stabbed and killed Mr. Manaka was part of the armor. (For thrilling novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, Inspector Megure naturally quickly ordered his officers to search for the armor!

While the officers were busy, Conan was leaning over the computer, repeatedly watching the video before and after the incident…

“Conan, don’t mess with the crime scene!”

Inspector Megure, who had finished his arrangements, noticed this and quickly reprimanded him.

“No—” Conan quickly paused the surveillance video in his hand.

He pointed to a detail on it and said, “Inspector Megure, look here…”

“Before Mr. Manaka was stabbed to death, he seemed to be writing something?”

“Hmm?”

Inspector Megure was stunned and quickly looked at the video Conan mentioned.

Sure enough, he saw Mr. Manaka, with a terrified expression, holding a pen and writing something on a blank piece of paper.

He didn’t know if he was afraid of being discovered by the killer—

After writing, Mr. Manaka directly threw the paper and pen heavily onto the ground…

Seeing this, Inspector Megure quickly ordered someone to search for them!

Not long after, an officer found a pen and a blank piece of paper with a name written on it under the table.

“Keita…(Wang Zhao)…” Inspector Megure suddenly looked up at the employee named Keita. []

“So, you were the one who wore the armor and killed Mr. Manaka?”

“I—I didn’t!”

Keita’s pupils couldn’t help but contract, and he quickly denied it.

Just then, the officer who had gone to search for the armor arrived…

In the other person’s white-gloved hands, they were laboriously carrying a blood-stained armor with another officer.

“Report, Inspector, this armor was found in Keita’s room!”

One of the officers walked directly to Inspector Megure’s side, his expression serious.

“Hmm?” Inspector Megure’s expression immediately became much sharper.

“Now, how else do you want to argue?”

“I… I really didn’t kill anyone. I was organizing things in the warehouse at the time.”

Keita waved his hand, his voice panicked as he explained.

As if he had thought of something, one of the museum staff members suddenly said hesitantly…
