After the Police arrived at the crime scene, they immediately sealed it off.
When Inspector Megure saw Shinichi, an old acquaintance, he was overjoyed.
He knew that this time he could turn off his brain again.
And that was indeed the case.
Shinichi actively conducted on-site investigations, case analysis, and other tasks, and quickly formed a preliminary judgment on the case.
"Judging from the coagulation level of the victim's blood, he should have died within the hour."
"According to the shape of the blood on the wall, the victim should have been lifted up and then pierced with a sword."
"The murder weapon is a one-handed sword from this exhibition hall, but it has been sharpened... Usually, props used for display are not sharpened."
"It can be confirmed that the culprit is definitely someone from inside the art museum, only they would have the opportunity to replace the one-handed sword used for display."
...
Baishi Hui, watching Shinichi analyzing the case unhurriedly from a distance, sighed, "Shinichi really gets into the zone quickly, he's already analyzing it."
"Yes! Shinichi is just like that, whenever he encounters a murder case, he eagerly rushes forward!" Ran said softly, "He really enjoys that process!"
"I can tell... How long does it usually take him to solve a murder case?" Baishi Hui turned his head and asked Ran curiously.
"Hmm..." Ran tilted her head and thought back seriously, saying, "On average, it probably takes about three hours?"
"Have to wait three hours?" Baishi Hui said immediately upon hearing this, "I remember there's a coffee shop nearby. Let's go wait for him there."
"Huh? Are we just going to leave Shinichi and go?" Ran was a little surprised and also a bit hesitant.
This suggestion made her quite tempted... What girl would like to stay at a bloody murder scene?
"We're not leaving him, we're just waiting for him somewhere else!" Baishi Hui corrected Ran's mistake, saying, "Anyway, we can't help here."
"But... Leaving Shinichi here alone feels a bit pitiful." Kind Ran still felt it was wrong to just leave like this.
"He's pitiful?" Baishi Hui looked at Ran speechlessly and said, "Where do you see pity in his expression? We are the pitiful ones."
...
Ran looked at Shinichi; his eyes were shining, he was completely focused, fully immersed in solving the case, his aura fully unleashed, he was the most dazzling guy in the whole place.
In contrast, the two of them had nothing to do, their eyes were dull, standing like ants outside the crime scene.
It seems... they were indeed the ones who were more pitiful.
"Let's go!" Baishi Hui turned and left, saying, "Let's go to the coffee shop and wait slowly."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Shinichi?" Ran watched Baishi Hui leave, hesitated for a moment, but still followed him instinctively.
"Shinichi is focused on solving the case now, so don't disturb him, just send him a text message." Baishi Hui watched Ran follow, a hint of a smile on his lips, and said, "He'll reply when he sees it."
"That's true!" Ran also felt that since Shinichi was seriously solving the case, sending a text message was fine, and it wouldn't interrupt his train of thought.
So, the two of them left the art museum and headed to a nearby coffee shop.
In the anime, Shinichi was able to act in his elementary school form, overcoming various unfavorable conditions, and finally caught the culprit—Chief Curator Ochiai.
Now that he was acting in his complete form, without any unfavorable conditions, catching the culprit Chief Curator Ochiai would only be easier.
"There is only one truth!"
After finding the last piece of the puzzle, Shinichi immediately turned around, pointed, and said, "The culprit is you! Chief Curator Ochiai!"
"You killed Boss Zhenzhong, imitating the painting 'Divine Punishment'!"
"After committing the crime, you secretly replaced the pen at the scene and put the blood-stained armor in Kubota's locker to frame Mr. Kubota!"
"The evidence is the pen on your chest... It can't write anymore, right?"
"As for the motive for the murder, it was because you couldn't stand Boss Zhenzhong turning the art museum into a hotel!"
After his meticulous reasoning and with all the evidence present.
Chief Curator Ochiai could only lower his head and confess, saying, "You are right, I killed him."
After seeing that the matter was settled, Inspector Megure waved his hand and had Chief Curator Ochiai taken away.
He smiled at Shinichi and said, "Shinichi, I've troubled you again this time."
"Hehe, no trouble at all, no trouble! Next time you encounter a murder case, Inspector, you can call me anytime!" Shinichi said cheerfully.
"I will!" Inspector Megure patted his shoulder, sighing that he was indeed Yusaku's son, their personalities were exactly the same.
After Shinichi said goodbye to Inspector Megure, he walked around the art museum but found that he couldn't find Ran and Baishi Hui.
"Where did they go?" He scratched his head in confusion, then took out his phone intending to call and ask.
It wasn't until then that Shinichi saw Ran's text message and hurriedly Ran to the nearby coffee shop to look for the two of them.
However, after he Ran over, he didn't find either of them at all.
Having no other choice, Shinichi had to call Ran.
Only then did he learn that they had gone shopping in Shibuya.
He had no choice but to run over and meet up with them.
Looking at Ran, who had candied hawthorn in one hand and cotton candy in the other, Shinichi said somewhat sourly, "You two are having quite a good time!!"
Ran felt a little guilty; she actually thought it was a bit excessive to leave Shinichi alone at the crime scene.
Baishi Hui saw that Shinichi had complaints and said impolitely, "Aren't you having a good time too? You only saw the message Ran sent you just now."
"Uh..." Shinichi scratched his head awkwardly, realizing he couldn't refute it.
"That's right, that's right!" When Ran saw Shinichi's guilty look, she suddenly felt like she had no reason to feel guilty?
She immediately said confidently, "It's not like the two of us could just keep waiting for you at the crime scene, right?"
"This... this... Okay, you're right. I didn't consider your feelings, I'm sorry." Shinichi reflected on himself and felt that he had indeed not done well.
"Mm, we forgive you, don't do this next time." Baishi Hui felt he was magnanimous and readily forgave Shinichi.
"Exactly, exactly!" Ran looked at the defeated Shinichi and suddenly felt a sense of relief, her mood inexplicably becoming happy!
"..." Shinichi looked at Baishi Hui feeling very depressed—This guy took Ran away, and he's making me apologize!!
Baishi Hui patted Shinichi's shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, don't blame yourself, cheer up! Ran and I aren't petty people!"
"Ran and I have already found a good restaurant. There are quite a few people, so if we go queue now, it should be about right."
