Chapter 35 Curator Ochiai Released

Last night, the Megure Police Department applied for an arrest warrant to the court. The arrest warrant was approved at dawn, and they successfully brought the suspect Kazuya Iijima to the Metropolitan Police Department.

At the same time, the police also interrogated Curator Ochiai again.

Lin Yao also came to join in the fun. At this time, he was standing in the observation room next to the interrogation room, and the Kogorou and Megure police departments were also nearby. Since the two rooms are separated by one-way glass, and the light in the observation room is dim, people in the interrogation room cannot see the scene in the observation room, which fully guarantees the privacy of witnesses.

“I admit, I didn’t kill Boss Manaka…” After hearing that the police had arrested Kazuya Iijima, Director Ochiai finally stopped insisting that he was the murderer as before, but chose to confess.

Kogorou gritted his teeth and said, “This dead old man finally admitted it!”

Sitting across from the curator were Takagi and Chiba, Takagi pressed: “Then why did you plead guilty before?”


“Alas…” Curator Ochiai sighed, “Because Iijima is my most important employee!”

It turned out that the owner of Zhenzhong went back on his word, saying that he would continue to operate the art museum after buying it, but after the deal was concluded, he had to demolish the art museum and build a hotel. Curator Ochiai, who loves art, was very angry and helpless, because the original agreement was only a verbal promise and no documents were signed. The court hearing of this kind of dispute only recognizes the contract.

“I can still hold my breath, but the young and vigorous Iijima can’t help it. He killed Boss Shinaka in a rage. When I found out that he had killed someone, I offered to take the blame for him.” Ochiaikan Long talking was full of tears, “I have lived long enough, but Iijima is still young, I can’t just watch him go to jail!”

At this time, the Megure Police Department in the observation room pressed the button and asked into the microphone on the table: “So the incapable pen on your body was given to you by Iijima?”

Megure’s voice reached the interrogation room. Curator Ochiai looked at the one-way glass and replied, “That’s right.”

Kogorou was so angry that it was the pen that made my judgment wrong! What are you doing as an old man who is half in the loess? Too deceiving!

The Megure Police Department also roared angrily: “Do you know that this is disrupting the search?”

“I know…but Iijima is my most important employee. He made such a mistake for the sake of the museum. I can’t ignore this!” Director Ochiai replied crying.

Looking at the crying old man, the Megure Police Department couldn’t say anything else.

But then Conan noticed one thing – Curator Ochiai was stepping on his own foot.

“What’s this doing?” Conan didn’t respond for a moment. Why would he step on his right foot with his left foot, then step on his left with his right foot, and then step over again? Are his feet itchy? etc! Does he have a foot?

Lin Yao looked at Curator Ochiai and then at Conan. He found out that Conan had noticed this,



Then there will be no suspense…

Since the police couldn’t hold the suspect for too long, and now that it was confirmed that Director Ochiai was taking the blame on someone else’s behalf, the Megure Police Department decided to let him go. The police also decided not to investigate the matter of disrupting the search due to the advanced age of the other party.

The law stipulates that when the crime is relatively minor, the police can reprimand the suspect. If there is a victim, it can be ordered to compensate and apologize to the victim, and the matter can end after the victim’s forgiveness is obtained.

“Iijima has always refused to plead guilty. If possible, I hope you can persuade him.” Megure obviously regarded Iijima as the real murderer who refused to confess, so he asked Curator Ochiai to persuade him.

Curator Ochiai slowly walked out of the interrogation room, like an amiable old man. He nodded slightly when he heard Megure’s words, “I will persuade him well, Iijima boy.”

But then Conan called out, “Wait!”

Everyone looked at Conan, and Kogorou grabbed his collar and asked, “Stinky boy! What are you yelling about?”

“Ah, uncle, I don’t think Curator Ochiai’s suspicion has been lifted!” Although Conan spoke adult words, his tone was like that of a child, deliberately pretending to be naive.

“Conan, what does this sentence mean?” Xiaolan asked in confusion.

Conan explained: “Mr. Iijima found a notepad in his drawer, but that notepad may have been put in by someone else to frame him! And the director Ochiai said that he was taking the blame for Mr. Iijima, which is all one-sided. word.”

Kogorou suddenly came to his senses when he heard the words, and his eyes when he looked at Director Ochiai turned bad again, “Indeed, Iijima may be the culprit, or you may be framing him! So both of you are still suspects!”

Megure mused: “I remembered when you said that. Iijima mentioned that he might have been framed, and told me to believe him. But I didn’t care, thinking he was just quibbling. After all, every prisoner That’s what they say…”

“This…” Curator Ochiai was stunned.

While Kogorou and Megure were both paying attention to Curator Ochiai, Conan quietly approached Takagi and called out “Takagi Detective!”

“Huh? What’s the matter?” Seeing Conan being mysterious, Takagi whispered curiously.

“Uncle Mouri asked me to tell you…”

Lin Yao saw that Conan was using Takagi, and couldn’t help but wonder: Is Takagi’s tool person attribute already known to everyone?

Witnessing this situation, Lin Yao knew without guessing that Conan already had a clue to solve the case.

So Lin Yao took out his mobile phone and uploaded the remaining video of the case to the Internet.

In the face of Kogorou’s question, Curator Ochiai defended himself, “Hehe, Detective Mouri, the possibility you said does exist, but don’t forget the most important thing. Cough, cough…that is, do I still have it? Ability to commit crimes?”

“Huh?” Kogorou suddenly realized how he had forgotten the most important thing.

Yes! Is the old man Ochiai Mino still capable of committing crimes? The mistake he made before was his age!

Kogorou felt embarrassed and punched Conan in the head, causing Conan to scream in pain.

“Dad! Why are you hitting Conan?” Xiaolan immediately protected Conan behind her like a calf.

Kogorou said angrily, “It’s all this stinky brat who misleads me with his nonsense!”

“It’s obviously your own position that is not firm, how can you, an adult, be influenced by a child?” Xiaolan asked.

Conan also feels very innocent, I am obviously helping you! Are you still beating me? Watch me shoot you with Hiroshi’s watch-type tranquilizer gun! That’s right, now Conan has got Hiroshi’s newly invented item.

Feeling embarrassed, Kogorou stubbornly defended, “When did I lose my stance? My stance has always been firm! I always thought that Director Ochiai was the murderer, and still is!”

Megure asked, “But, can a seventy-seven-year-old man really wear fifty pounds of armor to commit a crime?”*
