Detectives of Detective World

Chapter 1277: hanging upside down painting

"Although some evidence against the defendant has been collected, the "Madonna of prosecutors" has not been able to directly settle the case."

"Well, after all, the opponent this time is lawyer Fei Yingli, so it can only be considered that he is unlucky this time."

While walking, Xiaolan heard the conversations of passers-by and smiled to Moli Kogoro: "Mom is well prepared this time."

"Today's situation is indeed true."

Mori Kogoro was not very optimistic after finishing his speech: "But I'm afraid that person will not let it go, and the second trial will not be so simple next time."

"Conan-kun, do you still care about the painting?"

When Xiaolan looked down at Conan, she found him standing in front of a landscape painting in the hall, and couldn't help asking.

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

"At least it shouldn't be the dead Ishigaki Tadafu."

Tang Ze said: "After all, you should know about the paintings you bought yourself.

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

No matter what the reason is, at least it proves that the painting has been touched once, and the person who hangs the painting again has no way to distinguish the front and back of the painting. "

"Then criminal Tang Ze, do you think the person who hangs this painting again is the murderer!?"

At this moment, Xiaolan Chengzi, who was walking toward them after finishing their conversation, looked at Tang Ze excitedly after hearing Tang Ze's words and asked.

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

"Is this suitable?" Xiaolan Chengzi's eyes lit up a little eagerly when he heard the words, and then he looked at Shiratori again, asking with a hesitant expression.

"As a juror, this is a question you raised, Mr. Xiao Lin. Go to the scene to verify what is wrong with your findings."

Before Shiratori could speak, Tang Ze took the lead in reassuring the other party's concerns: "Let's go, let's go to the scene of the crime together. If you really find something, Mr. Xiaolin, you are the big contributor to this case."

There is really no exaggeration in what I said, after all, even Tang Ze is not omnipotent, and he has seen that painting, but because he is in the blind spot of knowledge, he didn't see the reverse at all.

If Mr. Kobayashi hadn't brought it up, this clue would have been ignored by Tang Ze and Conan.

"How could it be? Criminal Tang Ze, you are exaggerating too much." Xiaolan Chengzi waved her hands repeatedly after hearing the words: "It's just a small discovery. I really don't know if there are any clues."

Seeing this, Tang Ze didn't say much and just smiled, but he was sure in his heart that he would find the clue.

After all, as one of the important supporting roles in this case, Xiaolan Chengzi can't just be a juror. Watching Fei Yingli VS Kujo Reiko fight, she will definitely provide some important information to highlight the role of her appearance.

The group of people also had a neat personality, and they drove as soon as they said they would go, and drove directly to the mansion where Ishigaki Tadafu was located.

It's just that when they rushed to the front and back of Ishigaki Zhongfu's house, they found that there were two cars parked outside.

"It seems that someone thought of it with us." Tang Ze looked at the two cars parked by the road and said with a smile.

"Prosecutor Kujo, I guess." Mori Kogoro guessed when he saw that one of them was a police car.

"Mom probably will come over later." Xiaolan speculated.

"Let's go in first, too."

At their suggestion, everyone entered the room after identifying themselves to the criminal guard.

Walking into the study where the crime scene is located, if you are in front of you, you will be the Kutiao prosecutor and her assistant, in addition to the two witnesses who testified in court before.

Listening to their conversation, it is obvious that they are restoring the scene when the crime happened.

"Ah, that's really rare."

Seeing everyone entering the room, Kujo Reiko put her arms around her arms and said with a smile: "It's really rare for a famous detective and a famous criminal to pay attention to this case together."

"It's just something I'm concerned about, so I want to check the situation on the spot." Tang Ze greeted Reiko Kujo with a smile: "I didn't bother you, did I?"

"Of course not. We just decided on a few places for the next court session." Reiko Kujo stretched out her hand with a smile.

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

Faced with Mori Kogoro's question, Kujo Reiko just smiled and said nothing, and Mori Kogoro quickly realized what was inappropriate, smiled and stopped asking.

In this way, no matter what he thinks, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between him and Fei Mili is still husband and wife.

And what he said just now is a bit suspicious of asking for information. Even if Reiko Kujo is willing to believe in his character, if some things can be avoided, it is better not to let it happen from the beginning.

"By the way, have you checked the painting, Prosecutor Kujo?" Tang Ze pointed to the painting hanging on the wall and asked aloud.

"Is it the painting that the juror said?" Kujo Reiko glanced at Xiaolan Chengzi and said with a smile, "Not yet."

"I checked it on the Internet before, and found that it was indeed hung upside down." Tang Ze held his mobile phone and said, "Now let's see who this painting was and why it was hung upside down."

"Let me do it."

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

"It's using magnets to hold the painting on the wall."

During the disassembly, Shiratori, who felt a magnetic force, immediately opened his mouth during the disassembly process to explain the special features of this painting.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

After all, compared to the paintings hung on the wall with nails, if this kind of magnet is fixed on the wall for about half a meter, it should be difficult to fall off.

But now it's the other way around...

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the painting lying on the ground.

It was time for the front to be on the wall, so Shiratori and the prosecutor's assistant directly placed the painting upside down on the ground.

"There's blood."

Tang Ze's insight is as sharp as ever, even if he didn't turn on the super sense of smell, he still saw a little dry black trace in the gap between the edges of the picture frame.

"But isn't this too strange?" After hearing Tang Ze's words, Mori Kogoro couldn't help but wondered, "It's fine if the front of the painting is stained with blood, but how could there be blood stains on the back?"

"If someone touches this painting with **** hands, wouldn't it be strange to see blood on the back?"

As Tang Ze said, he squatted down and found the place where the picture frame was disassembled, and removed the baffle that fixed the painting.

After the outermost baffle is removed, the interior is not directly a painting, but is still fixed by a wooden cross.

This is to prevent the painting from being too large, and if there is no support inside for a long time, the painting will move downward.

And in the little space formed by the cross, there is a stack of materials placed below it.

"This is...!"

After seeing this document, Reiko Kujo squatted down, picked it up and checked it in detail: "This is the IOU and bill for the money, as well as the loan contract!"

"So that's it. Is this using the picture frame as a hidden safe?"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori suddenly said, "It is reasonable to say that there is blood on the edge of the back of the frame."

"Perhaps this case is related to these IOUs." Tang Ze looked at Reiko Kujo and said, "Let's see who has borrowed money."

Kujo Reiko nodded when she heard the words, and when she turned to the second page, her eyes shrank unconsciously: "This is..."

"The borrower is Toshio Iwamatsu for the IOU of three million!?" Shiratori looked at the payer on the IOU and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Eh!?" Xiaolin Chengzi Wenyan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was shocked: "Isn't that the name of the previous defendant?"

Reiko Kujo looked at the IOU in front of her eyes sharply: "If the purpose of the defendant sneaking into the mansion in the first place was for this IOU..."

"That's incredible evidence."

Although Tang Ze looked serious, he looked at Xiaolin Chengzi after a while and said with a smile: "When it comes to the second trial, Mr. Xiaolin, you will be the hero of this case.

At that time, those guys who questioned you will be severely slapped in the face by you. "

"How come..." Xiaolin Chengzi said shyly when he heard Tang Ze's words, "I didn't do anything, it just happened that there was that painting in the principal's office."

"Don't be humble."

Tang Ze smiled and said: "It's your credit and it's your credit. You can discover places that we can't. In addition to daily accumulation and knowledge, careful observation is the key.

Otherwise, even if you know that the painting is hung upside down, but you don't notice or don't care, then we won't be able to discover the secret behind the painting. "

Of course, these words are somewhat exaggerated. After all, although Tang Ze does not use the super-smell every day, he feels that he will still turn on the super-smell when he encounters a situation or searches.

Even if there is no Xiaolin Chengzi this time, Tang Ze can still find this evidence later when he activates his super-sense of smell.

"Criminal Tang Ze, you are exaggerating." Xiaolin Chengzi also had self-knowledge: "Even if I didn't remind you, you would definitely find out."

"Okay, let's end the topic of mutual humility."

Shiratori on the side saw that the two of them would not finish their conversation, so they took the initiative to end the topic and said, "Let's say it's true."

"About this president, it doesn't seem so honest."

Mori Kogoro looked at the stack of loans with his hands folded in his arms and said, "Aside from his own real estate company, the other party seems to be running such lucrative business as usury behind the scenes."

"About these things, do you know, Mr. Tsukano?" After Kujo Reiko got up, she immediately looked at Tsukano Kyou, who had a close relationship with the deceased, and asked.

Tsukano Xiang shook his head quickly when he heard the words, and then explained: "The president has never mentioned these things, let alone those related to loans."

"Well, it's true if you think about it. After all, it's an illegal activity, so it's natural to keep it a little bit more secretive." Kogoro Mouri agreed upon hearing this.

"For the specific situation, please take him to the next room and explain it carefully." Kujo Reiko looked at the assistant and said.

Kujo Reiko took the initiative to take the person away, but Tang Ze and the others did not stop him, because this was a somewhat far-fetched excuse to send the other party away.

After all, Tsukano Kyou has already stated that he doesn't know, so even if he continues to ask later, he probably won't be able to find out why.

The reason why the assistant took him away was mainly to avoid the pressure and worries that Tsukono would put on the other party when he asked Yuan Xinghui, so he dismissed the other party.

After all, the other party is the younger brother of the deceased's wife, and no one knows whether there is any conflict of interest between the two.

Of course, no one knows whether Tsukano Kyo will affect Hara Xinghui's answer, but from this small matter, Kujo Reiko's meticulousness can also be seen.

After all, this is only a possibility, but Reiko Kujo thought of this and killed this possibility in advance.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a prosecutor, and his personality is cautious enough.

When the assistant took Tsukano Kyo to leave, Xiao Lan hurried out with her mobile phone, obviously to inform Fei Mili of the important news they found here.

Kujo Reiko then looked at Hara Xinghui and said, "Excuse me, do you know anything about President Ishigaki's painting?"

"No, it's also the first time I know that these things are actually hidden in this painting."

Yuan Xinghui shook his head again and again: "Although I clean the master's study, I don't come in many times.

And here is the study room, where important documents of the company will be kept. The master once specifically told me not to touch anything other than cleaning. "

Yuan Xinghui's answer did not exceed everyone's expectations. After all, the other party is just a simple housewife when she is older, and it is normal not to know about the affairs of Ishigaki Zhongfu.

"It seems that President Ishigaki has done a good job of keeping secrets about the usury."

Tang Ze heard the words and said, "However, there is one thing that I can confirm.

The person who moved this painting should not be the suspect Toshio Iwamatsu.

After all, if he hangs the painting upside down, it proves that he has discovered the secret behind the painting and will take away his loan contract directly. "

"Not necessarily, at least Toshio Iwamatsu did come to the Ishigaki family's mansion with a purpose to steal."

Mori Kogoro retorted: "If it is said that he came in to steal with a purpose, and then happened to bump into President Ishigaki who was returning home, and killed him in a panic.

After that, the time for him to steal the loan contract was greatly shortened. When he picked up the painting, Yuan Xinghui happened to come over to check the situation.

In a panic, he could only hang up the painting in a hurry, and then run away, right? "

"But there is time to hang the painting back, why not just take it away?" Conan asked with a smile.

"I said it all, he just killed someone, and he couldn't think so much when his head was bleeding! Do you understand!"

Mori Kogoro's words were refuted one after another, and he was not happy at all. He happened to run into Conan's rhetorical question, and he yelled impatiently.
