Chapter Twenty-Six: Strange Knife Marks II

Mumu picked up a notepad in front of the deceased, "Oh, this has a list of visitors who come every day. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "I flipped to the list of visitors who came today, "I see, there are Mori Kogoro, Yuji Suwa, Hatano Kiya, Ah Kutsu Makoto, these four people are coming, right?" ”

"Officer Mumu, a suspicious man was found outside. "There's a police officer coming in from outside.

"What?" the officer heard this, and went out with a few people to take a look, and a police officer was pulling a man with glasses: "This man has been lingering in front of this house. ”

"Ah, he's Dr. Hatano. As soon as the deceased's wife, Maruinako, saw the man and said in surprise: "He is my husband's attending doctor, and my husband will ask him to come to see him every week." ”

Several police officers brought in a suspicious man who claimed to be the great artist Akutsu.

"Roar~~ I know, the murderer is Yuji Suwa who hasn't appeared yet, that's right, only he has been here. Hey... Mori Kogoro said his reasoning like a treasure.

"Are you talking about me?" a man walked out of the darkness again, "I'm Suwa, Yuji Suwa." What happened and why is it so noisy. Uh, little brother, what are you doing? Suwa looked down to find Conan maneuvering his palm.

"Uncle, have you practiced Japanese kendo again!" Conan snapped Suwa's thumb and forefinger. "You see, my uncle has a thin scar between his left thumb and index finger, which is a knife wound that people who practice Japanese kendo will get when they collect their swords, so I asked my uncle if he practiced Japanese kendo. ”

"That's right, I'm practicing Japanese kendo. Suwa said.

"Sure enough, you're the murderer. Mori pointed to Suwa and pronounced the sentence loudly.

"What are you talking nonsense, murderer?" said Suwa blankly.

"Take a look at the scene and you know everything. "Kogoro came to the murder with a suspicious person and saw the tragic death of Marufune Jiro again.

"Ah, how so. ”

"Were you suspicious of me just now?" Suwa reacted, and just now Maori Xiao Wuyu was saying that he was a murderer.

"After watching the scene, you should understand that the murderer is very good at using a sword, that is, you Yuji Suwa. Maori Xiao Wuyang reasoned mercilessly, pointing to the knife marks all over the room, "You are the only one here who is a master of Japanese kendo." ”

"It's a joke, I'm only here to pay back Mr. Funajiro's money. Suwa took out a large stack of banknotes wrapped in an envelope from his bosom: "You see, a total of five million are here. ”

"Ah, I'm here to repay the loan. "Mori Kogoro is exhausted. The eyes pushed away the useless Maori, "So what are you all doing at 3 o'clock in the crime." ”

"At that time, I was meditating in the martial arts hall. Suwa thought for a moment and said. "Is there anyone who can testify for you? Mu asked.

"Nope. Suwa said.

At this time, Xiaolan found that the knife in the deceased's hand was held backwards, which made new progress in the case.

"That's right! The murderer wanted to pass on the blame to Mr. Suwa, who was practicing Japanese kendo, and then deliberately scratched the knife marks in the house, but the gangster made the mistake of taking the knife in reverse. ”

"Then uncle, you are also suspicious. Night said with half his head shrunk. He is obsessed with Kogoro not hesitating to kick him away, and now is the time for revenge.

"Huh?"

"Saya is right. Brother Maori, you are also one of the suspects at the scene. Officer Mumu also remembered the reminder at night, and it turned out that there were 4 suspects.

"No, I'm just reporting to the victim what he commissioned me to investigate, which is the investigation report of Madame's cheating. Maori Xiao Wuyun was excited, as if he said something that should not be said.

"Ah, Madame cheated?" said the maid in surprise.

"Uncle, you are such an idiot that you actually told the entrusted task in front of the investigator. Night spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, "It's really difficult to work with such a detective." ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ "Conan, Xiaolan, and Mumu are all stunned, and it's an idiot for you to say this in front of Kogoro.

"Kid, I guess that's what I said, right, I can't work with a kid like you. "Maori is angry.

After this farce, Mu Mu asked the other two again, but unfortunately it was the same, they all said that they were not here at that time, but no one could prove it. In the end, no one was ruled out of suspicion.

"Well, I think I've smelled this question somewhere. When I passed by Dr. Hatano at night, I asked him that he had a familiar smell.

Lying on the maid at night, sniffing, sniffing! Lying on Xiaolan in a short skirt again, sniff, sniff, no, it's not right.

"It's not good for you to be like this at night, it's rude to lie on someone like this and smell it. Xiaolan's face flushed slightly, and she stopped Night's bad behavior.

"Ah, I see. As soon as the night was finished, he trotted over to Maruina, leaned on her and sniffed it. "Well, that's what it tastes like. ”

"Sister, the smell on your body is exactly the same as that uncle's smell. Ye leaned on her and sniffed, "This brand of perfume is so special, it looks like a cooked high-end steak." Night sniffed again with an intoxicated face, and saw that the saliva was about to come down.

"You kid, how can this be the smell of high-end steak, this is a high-end perfume, a high-end perfume!" Marudaoko shouted hysterically, her face flushed.

Maori also thought about it when he heard what Ye said, "You're Madame's affair partner, right?"

"Ahh Yes.. Dr. Hatano tried to explain, but he couldn't speak.

"That's right, Dr. Hatano is my affair partner. Ms. Maruinako on the other side admitted it first, and she couldn't hide it anymore. As he spoke, he ran over and hugged Dr. Hatano's arm, "So we are innocent because we have been in the rice flower restaurant from afternoon to evening." ”

"But that doesn't rule you out of suspicion, in case you're colluding. Kogoro was talking cool on the side. "Uncle is right. Ye This is also helping on the side, which makes Kogoro find out that this child is also quite cute, but the next sentence completely broke the image of Ye at this moment. "You are just like my uncle now, even if I testify for my uncle, it is possible that I and my uncle are colluding. So I can't believe it. ”

。。。。 Bang!

Conan took advantage of Kogoro's nighttime to go to the answering machine and press the button.

"I'm Hatano, isn't Mr. Funajiro at home? I'll visit at about five o'clock. Four thirty-eight a.m. ”

"I'm Suwa, and he was scheduled to meet you at six o'clock. Now I want to visit early, and the next month's promotion exam has been arranged, and we will talk about the details later. 4:41 a.m. ”

"I see, Hatano was going to come at 5 o'clock, and Suwa was coming early, so he came before 6 o'clock. Officer Mumu listened to the two recordings, collected his thoughts, and said.

"If that's the case, I also have a message, what I left is, if you want to sell that, I'll slaughter you. Akutsu saw that there was no recording of his own, and immediately shouted anxiously. "Slaughtered?" Mumu found the sensitive word as soon as he heard it. "Ah, it's not that I'm just trying to scare him. Because he said that if I couldn't get the money, I would take the carvings I had mortgaged and sell them. Akutsu said nervously, and the voice that had just yelled was lowered.

"What kind of carving is that?" Mumu began to inquire in detail, "Ah, it's a dragon-shaped carving, you see, that's it." Akutsu pointed to the dragon-shaped carving on the table next to him and said, "Ah, that's great, there are no scars." ”

"But you are lucky, uncle, that the house is scarred all over the place, but there is nothing to do with your carving. Conan said in an innocent and crisp childlike voice.

"I see, the murderer is you, Mr. Akutsu. Kogoro said solemnly, "After you killed Funajiro, you thought of blaming Mr. Suwa for the crime." But you made two mistakes. One is that the deceased's knife is held upside down, and the other is that your important carvings do not have any scars. Hmph, even if you kill someone, you won't let your carvings get hurt, right? ”

"What are you talking about? Akutsu resisted weakly.

"Then why do you tell a lie about leaving a message on the answering machine?"

"I'm not lying, I really have a message. Akutsu struggled powerlessly.

It's strange, if he's the murderer, why would he say that kind of lie that will be debunked immediately, but there is no message from him on the answering machine... Wait a minute, if you say that, only one person left a strange message, so the murderer is that person...

"Ma'am, is the vault here for you?" said Mumu, looking at Maruinako.

"Ah, in, in the cabinet right here. Maruinako said as she walked over to the many cabinets that had been marked with knife marks, like the cabinets used in ancient pharmacies to catch medicines, all of which were fixed to a large wooden shelf. "Ah, if it's gone. ”

"Sure enough, the murderer is you. Mori grabbed Akutsu's neckline.

"Ah, I found it, in another drawer. Maruinako said embarrassedly with the key in her hand.

"Huh?" Kogoro and Mumaku were completely defeated.

"But it's strange, I remember it was in this cabinet, but why in another cabinet. Marusako closed the cabinet very strangely.

Ahh Just as Conan was about to take the next step, Night suddenly said:

"Uncle, these cabinets seem to have been replaced, is there something hidden? Night's childish voice came out, attracting everyone's attention perfectly, "You see here, here, and here, it's all in the drawer, and when you get to the cupboard, it suddenly stops. Night said, pointing to some strange drawer. "If you change this here, this one here。。。。。 "Replace all the drawers at night. "What is presented to us is 。。。。。 "The night jumped down, looking at the strange two words. "It's two words that I don't know!" Night was slightly embarrassed, forgetting that he didn't know Katakana.

Mu Mu and Kogoro ignored the night's jokes, and instead stared at the two strange words written with knife marks in great surprise. "Is the murderer Suwa?"

"But why?" he didn't understand.

Conan is also very shocked now, looking at the indifferent night, this little ghost actually came out in front of me... Damn, I'm going to do it too. took out a watch-type tranquilizer gun, anesthetized Maori Kogoro, and then hid behind Kogoro who fainted and said in Kogoro's voice: "I already knew, let me talk about it below." Conan retrieved the scene first, and then continued, "The real reason why there are these knife marks in the room is to cover up the scars on the cabinet, that is, the scars carved into the word Suwa." I think it was Suwa rummaging for something, and Mr. Funajiro said he couldn't stop carving it. When Mr. Suwa found out, he changed the cabinet and scratched the inside of the house. The mis-held knife and the dragon-shaped carving without any scratches are also meant to confuse our vision. I'm right, Mr. Suwa. β€œ

"That's right. Suwa generously admitted.

"Then why are you? Mumu asked.

"For the knives. ”

"Is the knife in the victim's hand?"

Suwa looked at the katana and said disdainfully, "Hmph, what is that broken copper and iron?" What I'm talking about is as collateral, a famous sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family - Kikuchiyo. At this time, Suwa's eyes became fierce and said, "But that man actually sold Kikuchiyo, and said that he didn't have a few cents to sell, so I killed him with a knife in a fit of anger." Saying this, Suwa suddenly rushed away from the guards, pulled out the knife in his hand, and charged it to Kogoro. "That's right, it's like this. The knife slashed at Kogoro's head, and when he was about to touch it, it suddenly stopped, and Conan behind him was scared into a cold sweat.

Xiaolan also screamed in fright. Zhiye looked calm and muttered in a low voice: "There is no murderous aura, don't care." ”

Suwa put away his knife, "The next thing is like you said, even so, you didn't move when my big knife approached, and the biggest mistake for me was not counting the famous Maori detectives. Suwa bowed to Mori Kogoro, and then walked out of the house under the guidance of the police officers around him.

"Hey, uncle, since that knife is a famous knife that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family, why do you have to take it as a mortgage?" said Yato Suwa, who had passed by him. "Or is it that you gave up first? ”

Suwa walked out the door and looked at the beautiful starry sky, "Maybe you're right, maybe the moment I take it as collateral, I'm doomed to lose it... Suwa left with a dejected expression and never looked back.
