"Well, I can almost take action here."
Watching Kogoro Mori and the other two leave, Karasawa turned his attention to the director Ochiai.
Don't ask how I know the name, if you ask, it's because I read too many fan fictions...
After visiting the exhibition hall for a while, Tang Ze went in the direction where Director Ochiai had left, and soon found the figure of Director Ochiai who had left.
After a while, he was seen talking to the young man next to him, and then the two separated.
Tang Ze naturally followed Director Ochiai, but in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, Tang Ze looked like he was visiting casually and was not afraid of losing him.
Because he had looked at the museum map and saw the directional labels for nearby locations, he knew that he would pass by the "Hell Exhibition Hall" ahead.
Anyone who knows the plot knows that this is where the other party committed the crime.
Not long after, Tang Ze, who was standing at the junction of the exhibition hall and the corridor admiring the works, saw Director Ochiai turning into the Hell Exhibition Hall. Only then did he slowly walk forward.
When we arrived at the exhibition hall, Director Ochiai had already entered the hall, and there was a sign hanging at the entrance corridor saying "No entry for non-staff members".
Tang Ze simply ignored the sign and walked to the door of the exhibition hall. He heard a series of crisp "crackling" sounds from the collision of steel, which was definitely the sound of knights' armor colliding.
He took a sneak peek inside. Although the light inside was very dim, Tang Ze still saw a figure putting on armor.
As time went by, the opponent gradually put on his armor, and finally stood there motionless with his sword in hand, as if he was a decorative armor, motionless.
Tang Ze knew that if Boss Manaka came over next, he would be dead. His death would be very miserable, as if he was nailed to the wall by the knight's sword.
After thinking about it, Tang Ze decided to attack head-on, but he still had to be cautious.
Although the other party was an old man with gray beard, who looked frail and weak and fell down with a push, judging by the way and form of his killing, it was possible that he was covered in tendons under his clothes.
After all, this is a ruthless man wearing knight armor and holding a two-handed sword who can nail people to the wall in mid-air. It is better to be careful.
Stepping into the Geopolitical Exhibition Hall, the dim light enveloped the room. Coupled with these medieval artifacts with a horror theme, the two complemented each other, making the entire exhibition hall filled with an invisible atmosphere of horror.
clatter!
clatter!
The leather shoes and smooth floor made crisp footsteps. Tang Ze walked into the exhibition hall step by step and soon walked towards the knight's armor.
"Mr. Director, I don't think this is a good choice."
Just as Director Ochiai was getting anxious when he saw Tang Ze accidentally breaking in, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard Tang Ze's words.
"Did he see me?"
"Or have you seen through my plan?"
"No, he knows my identity. He investigated me!"
"But who is he!?"
For a moment, Director Ochiai inside the armor couldn't help but have wild thoughts, but he still held back and remained motionless, trying hard to think of a countermeasure.
"The knight armor that moves at night must be you."
Before Director Ochiai in the armor could think about it, Tang Ze spoke again: "I was originally worried that the news report was not a simple prank.
And after seeing the conflict between you and Boss Manaka today, and seeing your preparations right now, I am even more certain of this."
Tang Ze fixed his gaze on the knight's armor and said solemnly, "Director Ochiai, you want to kill Boss Manaka!
I guess you must have planned it in advance. The "walking armor" is the "weird story" you want to create, so that the death of Boss Manaka will look like he was killed by the "walking armor" in the exhibition hall.
You invited him to this "Hell Showroom" saying you had something to discuss, and then put on your armor in advance. I'm afraid that when Boss Manaka arrives, that will be your chance to strike."
Hearing all his plans being exposed by the young man before him, Director Ochiai's heart was shaken. Finally, he slowly took a step forward, lifted his armor, looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression, and asked, "I've seen you in the exhibition hall before, but who are you?"
"Kangze Genichi, a criminal from the Investigation Section 1." Tangze took out his police ID from his pocket and showed it to the other party.
"Criminal? Didn't expect that such a small matter would attract the attention of the criminals in the Investigation Section." Director Ochiai saw the police officer's ID in the other party's hand and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He never thought that a strange story would attract the attention of criminals. Are the police so sharp nowadays?
"No, this is just a personal concern. Originally, I just wanted to solve the mystery of the 'walking armor'." Tang Ze smiled and said, "But after seeing you and Director Ochiai and your subsequent actions, I finally saw through everything."
"Is that so... Then I'm really unlucky." Director Ochiai said with a disappointed look.
"No, that's your luck. If you had killed him, you would have been caught." Tang Ze retorted bluntly: "Even if I wasn't there, the middle-aged man with me before was Maori Kogoro."
"What!?" Ochiai looked incredulous upon hearing this, and then the shock on his face turned into endless bitterness. "So that's how it is, the recently famous detective is also here...
It seems I have really fallen into a trap."
"Didn't I tell you this? It's your fault," said Director Karasawa Ochiai. "I discovered you in advance, and all the plans were interrupted. This means no crime will happen. Nothing has happened."
"But... the museum is still going to close..." Director Ochiai seemed to have lost his energy and looked much older. "This is a museum with a fifty-year history... and it's just going to be closed like this..."
"Director Ochiai! No matter what the reason is, it's not a reason for you to kill someone!" Tang Ze said sternly, "Boss Manaka, who broke his promise, is indeed despicable, but choosing to kill someone is a grave mistake!"
Director Ochiai sat directly on the ground, the knight's armor made a metallic "clattering" sound, and a feeling of powerless pain filled Director Ochiai's heart.
"Don't just think of killing people to solve problems. There may be other ways."
Tang Ze looked at the old man in front of him, who seemed to have lost his soul, and felt a little sorry for him.
But he suddenly remembered the outcome of the case and became cheered up.
After the citizens learned that the Beika Art Museum was forced to close, they all demanded that the museum be preserved, and in the end the museum was indeed preserved.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze felt that he could start from this aspect, and maybe there would be a good ending.
