Chapter 1277 The Painting Hanging Upside Down



"Even though some evidence against the defendant has been collected, the 'Madonna of prosecutors' hasn't been able to simply close the case."

"Well, after all, his opponent this time is lawyer Eri Kisaki, so he can only call it bad luck this time."

While walking, Xiaolan heard the conversation of passers-by and said to Maori Kogoro with a smile: "Mom is very well prepared this time."

"Today's situation is indeed the case."

Maori Kogoro was not optimistic after he finished speaking: "But I'm afraid that person will not give up. The next second trial will not be so simple."

"Conan-kun, are you still concerned about the painting?"

When Xiaolan looked down at Conan, she found that he was standing in front of a landscape painting in the hall, and couldn't help but ask.

"If the teacher's memory is correct, I wonder who hung the painting upside down." Conan said with a smile.

"At least it shouldn't be the deceased Ishigaki Tadashi."

Tang Ze said, "After all, it's a painting you bought yourself, so you still have to know this basic thing.

The painting is now hung upside down, and Ishigaki Tadashi has not corrected it yet, which is very interesting.

Whatever the reason, it at least proves that the painting had been moved once, and whoever hung it up again had no way of distinguishing the front and back of the painting."

"Then, Detective Tang Ze, tell me, could the person who hung up this painting again be the murderer?!"

At this moment, Ran Sumiko, who had just finished talking, walked towards them. After hearing what Tang Ze said, she looked at Tang Ze with excitement and asked.

"It's possible, but if we don't go to the scene to check, everything is just speculation." Tang Ze smiled and replied: "I plan to wait and see the situation. Do you want to come with me?"

"Is this appropriate?" Ran Sumiko's eyes lit up when she heard this and she was eager to try it. Then she looked at Shiratori and asked hesitantly.

"As a juror, this is a question you raised, Mr. Kobayashi. Go to the scene and verify if there are any problems with your findings."

Without waiting for Shiratori to speak, Tang Ze took the lead in dispelling the other party's concerns: "Let's go, let's go to the crime scene together. If we really find anything, Teacher Kobayashi, you will be the hero of this case."

This statement was not an exaggeration at all. After all, even Tang Ze was not omnipotent, and he had seen the painting, but because of his blind spot in knowledge, he did not realize that it was hung upside down.

If Mr. Kobayashi hadn't pointed it out, this clue would have really been overlooked by Karasawa and Conan.

"How could that be? Detective Tang Ze, you're exaggerating." Ran Sumiko waved her hands repeatedly upon hearing this: "It's just a small discovery. It's really uncertain whether there are any clues."

Seeing this, Tang Ze didn't say much but just smiled, but he was already certain in his heart that he would find a clue.

After all, as one of the important supporting characters in this case, Ran Sumiko can't just be a juror and watch the fierce fight between Kisaki Eri and Kujo Reiko. She will definitely provide some important information to highlight the role of her appearance.

The group of people were also quick-witted. They drove straight to the residence of Ishigaki Tadashi without hesitation.

However, when they arrived at Ishigaki Tadafu's house, they found two cars parked outside. …"It seems someone else had the same idea as us," Tang Ze said with a smile, looking at the two cars parked on the side of the road.

"It's probably Prosecutor Kujo." Kogoro Mouri guessed when he saw that one of the cars was a police car.

"I guess Mom will come over soon." Xiaolan guessed.

"Let's go in first."

At their suggestion, everyone identified themselves to the guarding criminals and entered the room.

Walking into the study where the crime scene was located, the first person in front of me was Prosecutor Kujo and her assistant, as well as the two witnesses who had testified in court before.

Listening to their conversation, it was obvious that they were reconstructing the scene of the crime.

"Oh, that's really rare."

Seeing everyone enter the room, Kujo Reiko folded her arms and smiled, saying, "It's really rare to see a famous detective and a famous criminal working on this case together."

"I just have something that concerns me, so I want to check the situation on the spot." Tang Ze smiled and greeted Kujo Reiko: "I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"Of course not, we are just deciding on a few locations for the next court session." Kujo Reiko smiled and stretched out her hand.

"Have you found any evidence that can instantly reverse the unfavorable situation?"

In response to Kogoro Mouri's question, Reiko Kujo just smiled and said nothing. Kogoro Mouri quickly realized the inappropriateness, smiled and stopped asking questions.

So no matter what he thinks, to outsiders, he and Hime Eri are still husband and wife.

What he said just now seemed like an attempt to gather information. Even if Kujo Reiko was willing to believe in his character, if some things could be avoided, it would be better not to let them happen from the beginning.

"By the way, Prosecutor Kujo, have you checked that painting?" Tang Ze asked, pointing at the painting hanging on the wall.

"Is this the painting the juror was talking about?" Kujo Reiko glanced at Ran Sumiko and said with a smile, "Not yet."

"I checked online earlier and found that it was indeed hung upside down." Tang Ze said, holding his phone: "Now let's see who owned this painting and why it was hung upside down."

"Let me do it."

Shiratori put on gloves and, with the cooperation of Kujo Reiko's male assistant, took down the painting that was nearly half a person's height.

"This is a painting that is fixed to the wall with magnets."
