Chapter 202 Oh no! The art museum has been vandalized!
"We just strolled around the entrance of the Hell exhibit and didn't go in, which Director Ochiai can attest to."
"That's right, I saw these three children when I came back from outside."
"Okay, so next..."
Beika Town, Metropolitan Police Department, Reception Room.
Takagi Wataru put away the tidied notes, then bowed slightly to Wang Changsheng, Sakura, Conan, and Uncle Mori, saying, "Thank you, thank you for coming all this way."
A smile appeared on Director Ochiai's aged face: "It's my pleasure."
Uncle Mori waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Anyway, it's Sunday, there's nothing much going on."
While the two adults were talking, Wang Changsheng and the other children, including Zhishi, remained silent. Xiaolan also stood quietly behind her father, politely refraining from speaking.
However, Conan, standing to the side, tilted his head back and asked Takagi Wataru with an air of arrogance, "Officer Takagi, how's that boss named Manaka from yesterday doing?"
Upon hearing Conan's question, both Director Ochiai and Wang Changsheng were immediately drawn to it.
"Mr. Manaka..." Takagi Wataru scratched his head, paused for a moment, not knowing what emotion to express, and could only honestly say, "It seems that the hospital couldn't find anything. His vocal cords were not damaged, but he just can't make a sound. In addition, the hospital said that Mr. Manaka will probably have to stay in bed for the rest of his life."
"Oh? Is that so? That's really pitiful..." While Takagi Wataru was speaking, Conan secretly observed the expressions of Wang Changsheng and Ochiai Museum Director out of the corner of his eye.
The former remained expressionless, while the two girls beside him each reacted differently.
The girl named Kinomoto Sakura showed a hint of reluctance.
Meanwhile, Daidouji Tomoyo, who appeared to be the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, remained calm, as if she had expected this all along.
As for Director Ochiai, he kept his eyes straight ahead, looking down at his toes, without saying a word.
Conan narrowed his eyes.
Just then, Takagi Wataru shook his head.
"He's not exactly pitiful; he deserves what he got."
"Huh?" Conan tilted his head back and asked again, "Why is that? Did he do something?"
"certainly."
At this point, a hint of disgust flashed in Takagi Wataru's eyes.
"This guy has quite a criminal record. He usually likes to lend money at high interest rates to people who have no money but own houses, eventually leaving them homeless. Because of this, I don't know how many people have committed suicide."
"Besides these, he also did a lot of illegal things, all of which have now been uncovered, and the results are shocking. He may even be involved with a criminal gang..."
At this point, Takagi Wataru realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly stopped talking.
However, Conan had already overheard the gist of what was said, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Is that Zhenzhong boss involved in organized crime?
if so……
Conan glanced at Wang Changsheng and his group again.
"This guy actually got into so many troubles?" Uncle Mori was somewhat incredulous.
Although their underground forces and mafia organizations can operate almost openly, there is still a veil of secrecy around them.
Just from listening to Takagi's brief remarks, one could sense how many outrageous things this man called Boss Manaka had done.
If he alone is like this, then what about the criminal gangs associated with him?
"I just said it offhand, don't take it to heart." Takagi Wataru waved his hands repeatedly. "If the other officers knew I told you these things, they'd scold me again."
"Don't worry, Takagi-kun, we definitely won't tell anyone." Uncle Mori patted Takagi Wataru on the shoulder knowingly.
"That's good." Takagi Wataru seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said to Uncle Mori, Ran, and Director Ochiai, "The interrogation is now finished, so why don't you all go back?"
Just as Uncle Mori was about to nod, Director Ochiai said to Takagi, "Officer, I have something else to report."
"I am reporting Mr. Kubota, who is currently under investigation, for abusing his position to sell off a large amount of the museum's private assets. I have gathered a lot of evidence, and I am here today not only to give a statement, but also to provide this evidence to the police."
"Um?"
Takagi Wataru was stunned, never expecting that processing a statement would lead to a new case.
He paused for a moment, then nodded, glancing hesitantly at Wang Changsheng and the others before saying to Director Ochiai, "Then please come over here. I have something to tell Detective Mouri. You kids can wait here for a while."
It seemed he was going to take several of the older people to another room for a detailed discussion.
As for Xiaolan, she is, after all, a high school student who is about to come of age and already has a basic understanding of the world.
In addition, she is Uncle Mori's daughter, so she can go with him.
Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying are still in elementary school, too young to discuss certain things in front of them.
It would be bad if children whose values are not yet mature were led astray by what they said, causing the flowers of our motherland to grow up crooked.
"Okay." Uncle Mori nodded, glanced back at Conan, and said, "Behave yourself and don't cause trouble for your older brothers and sisters."
Conan: "..."
Is Director Ochiai going to report Kubota?
Conan stared at Director Ochiai's retreating figure, lost in thought.
After they left, Conan turned around and looked at Wang Changsheng, Tomoyo, and Sakura: "Hello, Brother Wang~"
Wang Changsheng glanced at Conan: "How good is it?"
"Well?"
Conan was a little confused by Wang Changsheng's counter-question: "So, it's fine?"
Is this person asking themselves how good they really are?
Seeing that no system notification had been triggered, Wang Changsheng gave up on teasing Conan and looked away: "Well, you too, just say what you need to say, don't beat around the bush."
Conan: "..."
Message: Level 3 Magic Fruit +30
Message: Negative points from Conan Edogawa +999
Conan took a deep breath and exhaled a breath of stale air. He then glanced at Wang Changsheng, as well as Sakura and Tomoyo beside him, with a somewhat probing look in his eyes.
"Brother Wang, you and your two older sisters are always together, do you share all your secrets?"
"Secret? What secret?" Wang Changsheng glanced at Conan. "What do you mean?"
"Oh, I was just asking casually~" Conan's expression was innocent. "Brother Xiao Wang, how could I possibly know your secret? Would you really tell me, Brother Xiao Wang...?"
Seeing Conan, this little green tea, putting on a show in front of him, Wang Changsheng interrupted him directly: "Since you don't know, what are you saying?"
Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes.
Conan: "..."
This person is so hard to get information out of!
Shouldn't he tell her his secret because she is a younger child?
The methods that usually worked every time seemed to fail in front of Wang Changsheng. Conan gritted his teeth, glanced at Sakura and Conan, and finally said directly, "The culprit is definitely not that guy named Kubota. I think it's very likely that it's Director Ochiai. Have you already guessed it?"
"Huh? Really? I don't know." Wang Changsheng widened his eyes, then shook his head.
"...Still pretending! Did you get rid of that pen for Director Ochiai yesterday?" After returning home yesterday, I carefully thought about the whole incident.
Judging from the reaction of the gym owner when he tested him, the person who wanted to kill the boss of Manaka was most likely this gym owner.
"What are you talking about? I really don't understand. What am I pretending for?"
Looking at Conan, Wang Changsheng asked with a puzzled tone, but his expression remained calm, "How could I possibly help Grandpa Curator get rid of anything? And what kind of pen are you talking about?"
Seeing his expression, Conan understood everything.
"It really was you guys!"
Conan stared at Wang Changsheng: "The police have already compared the handwriting on the note left at the scene with that of Kubota to the handwriting of Mr. Manaka, and it's clear that it wasn't written by him!"
"But there was a note left at the scene. If it wasn't a frame-up, what was it?"
"The note was crumpled, as if it had been accidentally dropped in the chaos of the warehouse."
"That's the only thing that initially made me believe it was really written by Mr. Manaka, but that's not the case. It was all a misrepresentation, misleading the police into thinking Kubota was the murderer, which led to his arrest!"
"In the art museum, only Director Ochiai has the motivation and the ability to do this!"
Seeing Conan's confident expression, Wang Changsheng curled his lip and said exaggeratedly, "Wow~ I didn't expect Conan to be so amazing. He refuted the entire police operation just based on his own guess."
"But what do all this have to do with me?"
Director Ochiai really wanted Kubota to experience what it felt like to be arrested by the police first.
Director Ochiai had previously explained to Wang Changsheng that the note was something he had hastily left behind before being teleported away.
He was wearing gloves at the time, so he wasn't worried about leaving his mark on the note.
But the handwriting Conan mentioned...
Wang Changsheng thought that Director Ochiai wouldn't be so foolish as to use his usual handwriting to write, right?
"How can it not concern you? All I've said is that this case is because of you that the police haven't caught the real culprit who killed Mr. Manaka, haven't they? As Officer Takagi just said, Mr. Manaka will probably be bedridden for the rest of his life. Director Ochiai's actions have already caused substantial harm to others!"
Conan looked very confident and righteous.
Wang Changsheng gave him a strange look: "Please, do you have any evidence?"
"I..." Conan was taken aback.
He originally thought that Director Ochiai's pen would be evidence, but regardless of whether it was or not, there was no possibility of finding the evidence now.
With Wang Changsheng involved, that pen would probably have been disposed of long ago.
"You're just spouting nonsense without any evidence. When we went to the art exhibition yesterday, that boss named Zhenzhong was incredibly rude and looked like a bad guy. And didn't that police officer just say that he did do a lot of bad things? No matter how you look at it, he deserves what he got, right?" Wang Changsheng grinned.
Perhaps because of his magical abilities, and perhaps because the world will undergo a radical transformation someday, ordinary laws will likely become ineffective.
At that time, the rules may all be rewritten.
This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!
If that day ever comes, it's inevitable.
Therefore, Wang Changsheng couldn't be bothered with someone as wicked as Boss Zhenzhong.
Director Ochiai worked diligently for decades and was a good person his whole life, but in the end, he was going down a path of no return because of a villain. This really doesn't fit his values.
In addition, Director Ochiai ultimately failed to take that step; fate intervened on his behalf.
So strictly speaking, Director Ochiai cannot truly be considered the culprit who turned Boss Manaka into what he is today.
There is even less need to subject Director Ochiai to an unjust imprisonment.
Moreover, he also has his own daughter and granddaughter to support.
"You..." Conan was stunned upon hearing this.
He never expected Wang Changsheng's ideas to be so radical and so contemptuous of the law.
It's true that evildoers should be punished, but they should also be punished by law. If you lay a hand on an evildoer, then what's the difference between you and the evildoer?
Conan always felt that such revenge would only put him in a more difficult situation, both in terms of social status and simply in terms of his own mind, which would be a great test.
That would plunge a good person into the abyss!
Conan doesn't want to see this happen, which is why he always uses the law to protect the rights of the victims.
For others, only the law can be considered absolutely fair and just.
If you feel that the law is not fair enough, then there is no justice in anything else.
Most people in the world are in a vulnerable position.
Without laws, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
It is always the ordinary people who suffer.
Even so, Conan will absolutely uphold the law to the end.
This has nothing to do with whether a person is good or bad. People's actions are not always black and white. Even the law will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
But if you make a mistake, you have to pay the price.
Conan glared at Wang Changsheng: "Even if Boss Zhenzhong is bad, a judge should be allowed to decide!"
Wang Changsheng also looked at Conan, somewhat too lazy to pay him any attention.
The two of them just stared at each other.
To be honest, in Wang Changsheng's view, although the law represents fairness for the general public and justice for ordinary people, it also...
The law can sometimes be wrong.
Moreover, matters that require the use of the law have already crossed people's bottom line.
Before the law can be invoked, the victim will inevitably suffer. Even if the law punishes the perpetrator, the harm suffered by the victim cannot be avoided.
The matter is quite complicated, and Wang Changsheng doesn't want to discuss it with Conan.
"Hey Conan, little brother, have you been watching too many detective shows? Your explanations are so eloquent, it's unbelievable that a kid like you is so smart! You're only a few years younger than us, aren't you? I'm going to give Uncle Mori a good compliment later!"
"Well???"
If you can't argue with them, you have to call their parents.
"No need, thank you, I just like watching detective shows..." Conan waved his hands repeatedly.
Wang Changsheng ignored him.
He was about to punch Conan when the door to the reception room suddenly opened, and Director Ochiai rushed in.
"Oh no! The art museum has been vandalized!"
"What?!"
Wang Changsheng, Xiaoying, and the others were startled.
