Chapter Two

Murder at the Museum

Ran, Conan and Kira were had just entered the Mouri residence when Kogorou entered and spotted Kira. It took him the good place of ten to fifteen minutes in his drunken state before it clicked in his head that they had taken in yet another 'stray'. He was about to word his disapproval, but both Ran's glare and his alcohol dulled brain stopped him from saying a word. Instead, he stumbled past the trio and sat behind his desk and stared.

"Nee, Kira-chan," Ran asked as she help pull off the large jacket. "Where are your suitcases and things?"

"The lady at the plane place said that they lost them," Kari answered in a cheery voice while in her head she thought. ''Plane place'?! Geez that sounded so retarded,'

Conan thought just about the same thing.

"Oh," Ran looked surprised but then smile. "Well, I think I can find some of my old things you can use. I think you may be able to fit them. I'll go and make dinner now. Do you like sushi Kira-chan?"

"Hai!" She called and then looked at Kogorou. She leaned closer to Conan and then whispered. "Is he always like that?" Conan nodded his head. "Is he safe?"

"Oi, who are you?" Kogorou lazily pointed his finger at the five different Kira in his vision. However to the children's point of view, he was pointing at the far end lamp.

"Kira Edogawa," Kira answered calmly, dropping the kid act. "you?"

"I'm the Great Detective Kogorou Mouri!" He yelled with some pride. Kira and Conan sighed.

"Moron," Conan muttered

"Baka su baka su baka (The idiot of idiots of idiots)," Kira added with a serious look of her face. She failed however to notice that Kogorou had sobered up a bit and hear her remark. With in a second he had hit her on the head.

"What did you call me?!" He demanded, while Conan stared wide eyed. Kira however smirked.

"WAAAAAAAH!" She release a realistic cry as she rubbed that spot that had been hit. "RA-NEECHAN! THE MEAN MAN HIT ME!"

"Otousan!(Dad)" Ran came out of the kitchen looking angry. She was wearing an apron that with a cat on the breast pocket that sat 'NYA!' with a heart and was wheeling a a knife which she pointed at her father. This of course caused Kira to stop 'crying' and back away. "Why did you do that?"

"Demo(But)..." Kogorou whimpered as he watched the knife carefully.

"Demo nai(no buts) she's only five," Ran then turned on Kira. "Kira-chan, you need to be nice to okay?"

"Hai (yes), Ra-neechan," She was surprised that an got them both, but everything was cut short when the phone rang.

"Hello, Detective Mouri office. Inspector?" Kogorou held the phone when his eyes widened. "Nani(What)! A murder at Tokyo World Museum. Hai, I'll be there," He hanged up the phone and looked at Ran. "Bring the food along," Then he called a cab.

"A murder?" Kira looked at Conan and then smirked. "This is your doing,"

"Huh?" Conan looked at her and then bopped her on the head. "Baka, you're suppose to be five,"

"So what you're only seven," Kira growled rubbing her head. "And that hurt,"

"No fighting!" Ran called as she took Kira's hand. "Come on now,"

Tokyo World Museum was a well know place. Being only four months old, it already had over two hundred different exhibits from cultures all around the world. It had made a huge impression on the schools as both Ran and Conan's schools had had field rips there. The building was painted a beautiful ivory white making it look pure and happy. Funny how night changes that.

"Ah! Mouri-san!" the Inspector came running up to them as they got out of the cab. Kira and Conan ran ahead after here the murder was in the Norse exhibit. "We think he was killed with a sword for one of the exhibits,"

The victim was fifty-six year old Tomie Matsuhari, the museum chairman, or rather lady. Her head had been taken clear off her shoulders and placed on a stake. Judging by her expression she saw her attack before dying. Mean while three suspects had been called forth. Hikaru Takchi, age thirty four, light brown eyes, black hair, strong built, was exhibit director; Sonoku Hattori, age forty five, bleached hair, blue eyes, very pump was historian; and finally there was Miki Sukachi, age twenty five, black hair, pale eyes, very skinny was maintenance. To make matters worse, they each had a motive to kill Tomie-san and no alibis.

While Kogorou went about his way listening to everything the officers had found, Conan and Kira looked at the body. The neck was no struck evenly, as there was a crack in one of the cranial vertebrae or spinal column. There was also a great amount of blood that was pooling on the ground, with was a sign of her beheading. What didn't fit was her hands. Her hands seemed to be fixed in a pray like hold. AS Conan looked closer his could make out rope burns around her wrists.

Kira however was looking at the murder weapon. Something didn't fit with it either. For one, there were drag marks in the carpet to where it was and for another thing, the sword was by no means sharp or light, but had chips in it. She pressed her finger against it, cutting herself a bit and then studies the marks. It looked more like she had scrapped her finger then cutting, and with the amount of press her had put on it, there was no way it could have beheaded anyone.

"This isn't the murder weapon," She whispered when Ran noticed her finger.

"Ah! Kira-chan, da me! (Don't do that, or no)" Ran reached out and held onto her hand and looked at the cut. "You shouldn't play around with sharp things,"

"Demo, Ra-neechan, it's not!" Kira answered while Ran wrapped it up. Instantly everyone look at her. "Mite(look), She showed her finger to Kogorou. "Ite nai (Doesn't hurt),"

"So what?" Tomie asked in a slightly huff.

"Well, how can you cut someone's head off with a dull sword?" Conan asked when Kogorou grabbed them both and pushed them away from the scene. Once next to a exhibit of Eric the Red, he bopped them both on the head. "OW!

"Children should mess around in police work!" He yelled.

"Jerk," Kira muttered when something caught her eye. "Huh? What is..."

"What?" Conan looked and then noticed it too.

There in the waxed hand or Eric was a short handed double bladed ax, the most famous weapon the vikings had, and dripping down the blade, was blood. They both starred at it for a moment when Kira reached out and touched the edges. Instantly she cut her index finger and gave a painful yelp.

"We understand you all had an argument with Matsuhari-san prior to her death," The Inspectors voice cut in drawing their attention. "Would you tell us what about?"

"Hai, Matsuhari-san wanted to cut founding for the medieval Europe exhibit. It's one of our most popular but she felt with was a filler," Hikaru explained. "Naturally Both Sonoku-san and I apposed this as many of our younger viewers enjoy it, but she was reluctant to listen,"

"So you killed her instead," Kogorou interrupted with a smug look on his face.

"No!" They both yelled.

"Is he always like this?" Kira asked as a sweat drop formed on her head, while Conan nodded.

"And you, Sukachi-san," The inspector turned to the skinny man.

"Matsuhari-san was threatening me," Miki replied. "She claimed I was stealing from the museum, but she didn't have any proof of it. I was talking to her earlier this morning about the false accusations she was making..."

"False!" Sonoku turned on him. "We all know you were. Since he has worked here priceless vases and other items have gone missing,"

"Now, now," Kogorou waved his hands at the both of them. There is no way, he could have kill Matsuhari-san. He doesn't have enough muscles to do that,"

"He has a point," Conan whispered when Kira shock her head. "You do you mean?"

"One thing about the vikings weapons was that woman were also suppose to be able to use them. The War ax was specially made to be light. Really light. So light that a twelve year old could hold them,"

"So you mean!" Conan blinked.

"There's no mistake, Sukachi-san must have killed her," Kira glared. "But how do we get Kogorou to say this?"

"Leave that to me," Conan whispered, he readied his watch when he saw there were too many people around Mouri. "Damn, we need he away from the others,"

"Leave that to me," Kira smiled and hopped over to the wax model and picked up the ax. "Wow, this thing sure is light, nee, Conan-oneechan!"

"AHH!" Ran yelled as she ran over to Kira. " Kira-chan Da me!"

"Oi, don't touch that," Hikaru yelled as Sonoku ran next to him. "That's no a toy,"

"So yo, (That's right)" Sonoku answered as she took the ax away. "These are real weapon, sweetie. You could hurt yourself,"

"Gomen, demo what's this red stuff doing on it?" Kira pointed it out just as Conan shot Kogorou in the neck.

""So ka (I see) I know who the murder is!" Conan spoke threw the bow tie. Everyone turned towards Kogorou while Kira skipped over to him.

"Honto ojichan, (Really old man or grandpa)" She asked.

"Yes," Conan continued. "To start the murder weapon was not the sword but the viking ax in the viking exhibit. That sword was passed here after the murder so people would think it was the weapon. The murder had tried up Matsuhari-san for some time before killing her. It was a religious killing, as she was bond in a religious pose. Inspector Meguire, if you look at her wrist you will find rope burns," He went to look. "The murder waited until late and then used the ax to kill her, but he hadn't expected the ax to be as light as it was so he swung it too hard and in order to not harm himself, he swung it the shape of an eight, causing the secondary cuts,"

"So," Meguire stated. "any of the three could have done so,"

"No," Conan stated. "There are drag marks leading up to the sword, which proves it is not the murder weapon, while there is blood on the ax. If Hikaru had done it, why drag the sword when he can easily carry it?"

"That leaves Sonoku and Miki," Kira cried out only to be hushed by Ran.

"Also, no historian would mistaken the weight of a battle ax so that leaves Miki," Conan lifted Kogorou's hand to point. "the murder is you,"

Miki starred at him before lowering his head.

"Yes, I did it," He fell to his knees. "She threatened me wrongfully because she was the one stealing from the museum. I even had the proof. But that witch laughed at me so I desided to kill her. I tied her up and locked her in a closet. Then when everyone had gone home I took the ax and killed her," Miki looked at them all with a crazed look, but he was also crying. "I was going to make it look like a brake in but then I heard Sonoku and Hikaru, so I grabbed a near by sword and covered it in blood and put back the ax. It was soo perfect,"

"Humans aren't perfect," Conan stated as the officers handcuffed Miki. "There is no such thing as a perfect murder. Human have flaws and therefore so will their crimes,"

"Great job Mouri," Meguire Said as he patted Kogorou on the back. Conan quickly ran out from behind him and hurried up behind Ran. "You solved the case,"

"Huh?" Kogorou looked around himself before looking proud. "But of course. This was a simple case of the Great Detective Mouri!"

Ran merely smiled at her dad when Kira pulled her skirt.

"Ra-neechan, I'm tired," She rubbed her eyes to show it.

"Alright, lets go home," Ran smiled and pulled her dad towards the cab waiting for them.

Next Chapter: When the great tycoon Hattori Ookami is murdered in broad daylight in the same restaurant with Conan and Kira, it is up to them to find the murder. But what kind of poison can kill someone without anyone seeing it.
