38. Antique Collector Incident (1)

\"Jumping up again.\" Xiaolan, Conan, and Xiaobai squatted next to the small pool, and Xiaolan looked at the fish that jumped up and said.

\"Well,It's really boring.,I didn't listen to Conan if I knew it wouldn't have followed.\" Xiaobai also squatted and looked at the fish jumping up and thought.\ "Xiaobai also squatted and looked at Conan beside him, looking at his slightly small eyes, showing a lifeless look, I guess he thinks the same as him now.

\"Huh?\" Suddenly, Xiaobai and Conan seemed to hear something and turned their heads to look behind them.

\"Hey, there's a guest, is there anyone going to take a look.\" From inside the house, a man's voice came.

After waiting for a while, still no one responded, and then a bald man with a thick beard came out of the room.

\"I'm sorry, I'll invite you to the parlor.I'll be right back.\" The man said, closing the door and walking towards the parlor.

"When...\" Maori who was left in the room, and Conan, Xiaolan, and Xiaobai who were squatting next to the small pond listened to the sound of bamboo in a daze.

\"Hey, it looks like it's going to be boring in such a good weather.\" Xiaobai sat on the wooden board in the corridor and looked at the sky, feeling everything around him.

\"Toot Toot Too It didn't take long for the sound of the phone to break the silence.

\"Hmm.\" Xiaobai, Conan, Xiaolan and the others looked in the direction of the sound.

"It's noisy, what the hell is that old man doing?\" Maori opened the door, probably unable to stand the sound of the phone, and looked at the source of the sound.

\"It must be because I'm in the living room, so I can't hear it.\" Xiaolan walked over from the pond, I really don't know how she and Conan could stare at the pond for so long.

"Damn.\" When Maori walked up to the phone to answer it, the voice suddenly stopped.

"Hmph.\" Maori turned around, walked back to the room in a rage, and slammed the door open.

"Huh?\" Waiting for Maori to bring the door to the door, Conan and Xiaobai looked towards the vicinity of the living room.

"What's wrong? Conan.\" Ran asked, looking at Conan suspiciously.

\"Did you just hear any strange noises?\" Conan asked, looking in the direction of the meeting room.

"I didn't hear any strange sounds.\" Ran replied.

"It's a strange sound.\" Whiteie echoed Conan.

"Let's go have a look...\" Conan said as he prepared to run to the parlor.

"Don't come Conan, people are talking, it would be rude for us to go,\" Lan said as he pulled Conan to his way.

"But...\" Conan wanted to say something.

\"And if Dad finds out, you two will have to suffer a little.\" Xiaolan said with a straight face, interrupting Conan's words, and then laughed as if she had thought of something.

\"Hmm...\" Conan also seemed to remember Uncle Maori's fist, and had to give up.

\"It seems that today is another day of the case.\" Xiaobai looked at Conan and shook his head helplessly.

The sun is almost setting, dyeing the sky reddish, Xiaobai looks at the sky, I don't know if I feel stunned.

\"What's the matter, that old man is too slow.\" Conan said to Xiaolan beside him with his hands on the floor, and at the same time interrupted Xiaobai, who was looking at the sky.

"Well, what is he doing?\" Ran seemed to agree with Conan's words.

\"Beep, beep...\" The phone rang a few times.

"What? hung up again.\" Maori opened the door from inside the room and muttered as he listened to the stopped phone, while Conan looked at the phone and thought about something.

"What the hell is wrong with him?'ve been around for two hours, so long...\" Maori shouted as he looked at his watch.

\"Toot beet...\" When Maori turned around and was about to go back to his room, the phone rang again, and then it stopped after a few rings.

\"I'm getting up to it anymore, I'm going to take a look at the parlor.\" Maori angrily walked towards the parlor.

\"Ahh

"What's the matter?\" Conan heard the voice, jumped down and ran towards the source of the sound.

\"What happened?\" Conan just turned the corner, looked in front of him and asked.

\"You, who are you?\" The aunt sitting on the floor looked at Conan, and then at Maori, who was also sitting on the ground, and asked.

"I want to ask who you are.\" Maori touched his head, then pointed to his aunt and asked.

\"We're the servants here,\" Auntie said as she stood up and clenched her fists as if to cheer herself up, while the young girl behind Auntie also looked at Maori sitting on the ground with her hands clenched into fists.

"What's the matter? It's so noisy...\" Xiaobai looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a woman in a kimono standing not far away with a purse, as if she was the one who had just spoken.

"Yes, Mrs.\" the servants looked behind them and called out to the woman in the kimono.

"What the hell is going on?" the woman asked, looking at the maid's aunt.

\"This man is walking around our house casually.\" Auntie said, pointing to Uncle Maori, who was still sitting on the ground.

"Is it a thief?\" said the woman, known as Mrs., as she walked forward.

"No, no, I'm a detective hired by the master here.\" Uncle Maori stood up and quickly explained.

"Detective?\" The woman squinted slightly at Maori, and as for Maori, she also seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and covered her mouth with her hands.

\"Uncle, be a detective to your level, I...\" Xiaobai also stroked his head and leaned back slightly, really powerless to complain.

\"What are you doing with a detective in our house?\" the woman asked, looking at Maori.

\"That, please... Please ask your husband directly.\" Maori let go of his hands covering his mouth and replied to the woman in front of him with an embarrassed smile.

"Where's my husband?" asked Maori with her purse in both hands.

"Well, he went to the parlor and didn't come back.\" Maori replied with an awkward smile.

"Please go over and call the gentleman over for a moment.\" the woman instructed the servant beside her.

"Hi.\" The aunt and the young girl said yes and ran towards the living room.

"So, how far have you go?\" The woman squinted at Maori.

\"I can pay you double the money, but please be sure to help me hide it.\" The woman stepped forward and approached Maori while talking and her face approached Maori.As for Uncle Maori, she looked at the face that was getting closer and closer to her, and lowered her body slightly.

\"Hmm,**, this is really boring, don't even think about it, my uncle must have already explained everything, woman...\" Xiaobai looked at the woman's appearance and shook his head.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?\" Conan and Maori hurriedly ran over, looking at the young woman sitting on the ground and asked.

"Ahh

"Ha.\" Maori and Conan looked inside with their mouths open.

"Old, husband?\" Then Xiaolan and the woman, as well as Xiaobai, also followed, the woman looked inside, and shouted in a trembling voice, obviously unable to accept this reality.

"Ran, go tell the police.\" Maori turned his head and said to Ran behind him.

\"Okay.\" Xiaolan finished and ran towards the phone.

\"Sister Xiaolan, I'll lend you my phone.\" Looking at Xiaolan who was about to leave and run, Xiaobai took out his mobile phone from his pocket and gave it to Xiaolan.

\"I almost forgot that you still have a mobile phone.\" Xiaolan took her mobile phone and called the police.

\"The victim was Maruhiro Hirojiro, fifty-one years old, is he the owner of this house?\" Then Twilight, who came over, ordered his subordinates to take pictures, and asked for some relevant information as usual.

The woman, whom the servants called Mrs. nodded.

\"Miss Maruko, your husband is usually practicing kendo, isn't he?\" Twilight looked at the victim with his mouth wide open, his body nailed to a wooden board by a sword, and a knife in his hand, and asked the woman next to him.

"Yes, it's already three paragraphs.\" The woman replied with her head down, then looked at the picture hanging next to her.

\"Oh... That's pretty powerful, so is this Japanese katana your husband's?\" Twilight asked, looking at the victim.

"Yes, that's what adorns the walls.\" replied the woman with her eyes closed and her head down, as if she didn't want to see everything in front of her.

\"Do you feel a little strange about this room.\" Shiro asked, standing next to Conan.

\"Strange?\" Conan looked at Xiaobai suspiciously.

\"Well, it's...\" When Shiro wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Twilight.

\"Conan, Shiro, are you sure you just saw the visiting guest?\" Twilight turned her head and asked Shiro and Conan who were talking.

"Well, it's just the feet.\" Conan replied to Twilight.

\"You just said this room was a little weird?\" Conan looked at Twilight as he flipped through the notepad he picked up from the ground, and then asked the white next to him.

\"Well, especially...\" Just as Xiaobai wanted to explain, a police officer's voice came from outside the door.

\"Police Department, we found a suspicious man.\" An officer's voice came from outside the door.

"What?\" Twilight listened, walking towards the door, accompanied by Mori and the woman known as Maru Inako, while Conan and Shiro followed closely and watched from near the door.

"This man has been lingering in front of this room just now.\" The officer outside the door said to Twilight with a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"I'm not suspicious.\" the man explained, shouting.

"It's Dr. Hatano.\" Maru Inako shouted as she watched the man, her mood seemed to be a little lighter.

\"Hatano?\" Twilight listened to Maru Inako next to her call out the other party's name and looked at the notepad in his hand.

\"Seeing that she is so emotional, it is estimated that Uncle Maori has found that the ** person who is inseparable from ten is this one.\" Xiaobai whispered to Conan beside him.

\"Hey...\" Conan looked at Xiaobai with dead fish eyes, this guy is too gossipy.

"It's a doctor.\" Twilight said to herself, looking at her notepad.

\"Let go of me, I told you to let go I don't hear, do you know who I am.\" Before the matter was over, a man's voice came from a distance.

\"Hmm,Why is this line so familiar.\" Xiaobai listened to this line, and really felt speechless.

\"I'm the sculptor Akutsu Dai-artist.\" When I got closer, I looked at the man who was a little fat and claimed to be a great artist.

"Hey, that doesn't seem right, I thought he was someone's son...\" The little white ventriloquist whispered.

\"Did you just say something?\" Conan asked, looking at the little white on the side.

\"Ah, I didn't say anything, there's another person there.\" Xiaobai said as he pointed to the man behind Maori.

\"Suwa is me, what the hell is going on?why is it so noisy?\" The man who called himself Suwa asked with squinting his eyes at Mori, and then looked to the lower left as if he sensed something.

\"What's the matter with this kid?\" Suwa asked, looking at a child looking at his palm.

"Why are you again.\" Uncle Maori exclaimed loudly, looking at Conan.

\"Uncle, you're practicing Japanese kendo.\" Conan said as he looked at Suwa with confident eyes.

\"Well, it's true that there are traces left by practicing Japanese kendo.\" Xiaobai looked at Suwa's thumb and index finger with a faint scar.

\"Sure enough, you're the murderer.\" Uncle Maori said confidently pointing at Suwa.

\"Could it be that my uncle is so powerful??\ can he find the murderer so quickly?\" Xiaobai looked at the confident Maori and thought to himself, although he thought that the probability was infinitely close to zero, but he should also have a little confidence in his uncle.

"After watching the scene, you will understand that the murderer is quite good at using a sword, that is... The murderer is you.\" Mori brought the people involved in the incident into the victim's room, pointing to the knife marks in the room while doing his own reasoning, and finally pointed to Suwa and said.

"It's a misunderstanding, I'm just here to repay Mr. Hakujiro, it's just five million yuan I borrowed from him.\" Suwa explained to Mori.

\"Come to repay the loan?\" Mori looked at Suwa dumbfounded.

\"I also have the money with me.\" Suwa took out a thick bundle of money wrapped in a stack of newspapers from his coat pocket.

\"Oh...\" Maori has apparently fallen into a crash and doesn't know what to say well.

\"Sure enough, the greater the confidence in my uncle, the faster I will be disappointed.\" Xiaobai shook his head helplessly.

\"By the way, I think it's weird.\" Ran looked at Twilight and Mori asking Suwa something, and she looked around bored, as if she had found something, and muttered to herself.

"Strange?\" Maori looked at his daughter Xiaolan suspiciously.

"Look, the knife is held in the opposite direction, isn't it?\" Lan said, pointing to the knife in the victim's hand.

\"It's Xiaolan.\" Xiaobai looked at the place Xiaolan pointed.

\"However, it's not just that, it's strange, I always feel that there is a little incongruity in the house.It's just, what is this incongruity?\" Xiaobai put his hands in his pockets, looked at the knife marks in the room, and thought to himself, and Conan, he was talking to Twilight.

"What the hell is this incongruity?\" Xiaobai looked around and fell into deep thought.
