39. Antique Collector Incident (End)
"Mrs. has **?\" A voice interrupted Xiaobai's thoughts.
\"Uncle, how nervous are you going to be.\" Xiaobai looked at Maoli who covered his mouth with his hands, and complained weakly.
\"Wait a minute, Conan, it's rude for you to smell someone like this.\" Xiaolan blushed and looked at Conan who was sniffing the smell.
"Huh?\" Conan smiled awkwardly and waved his hand back.
\"I feel like this kid isn't much better.\" Xiaobai looked at Conan's actions and couldn't complain.
\"Auntie, you smell the same as Uncle Doctor.\" Conan said something shocking, startling Maruinako and Hatano and the others.
"I see, the same smell of perfume. You have a woman's perfume on you.\" Maori said as he walked up to the doctor and sniffed the doctor's scent.
\"......\" Xiaobai wordlessly pushed his glasses.
\"By the way,,You're not the object of my wife's **.\" Mori said as if he had thought of something, pointing at Hatano.
"I...\" Hatano clearly wanted to explain something.
\"That's right, it's impossible to hide now.\I admit that Dr. Hatano is the object of my **.\" Maru Inako shouted loudly with her head down.
\"But we are innocent, because the doctor and I have been staying at the Rice Flower Hotel from noon to evening.\" Maru Inako said as she hugged Dr. Hatano's shoulder.
\"Heh, my husband just died not long ago, and now he is talking about it in front of his body...\" Xiaobai looked at Maruinako, who was talking loudly, and turned sideways not to look at the other party, he really didn't want to see such a woman.
"Huh?\" Turning around, Xiaobai looked at the knife marks on the cabinet.
"Why are you again.\" Uncle Mori said, pointing to Conan who was squatting on the ground.
\"I'm Hatano, Mr. Hakujiro isn't there, is it? At 4:38...\" I saw Hatano's voice coming from the answering machine.
\"I'm Suwa, I was scheduled to meet you at six o'clock, and now I want to visit you early, it's about next month's promotion exam, the work has been arranged, and we'll talk about the details when we meet... At 4:41...\" Then the voice of Suwa came from the answering machine.
"I see, I was scheduled to see Dr. Hatano at five o'clock, and Mr. Sutori was supposed to be six o'clock, and he called and said that he would arrive early so that he would show up at five o'clock.\" Twilight said as she looked at Sutori on the side.
"Yes.\" Sutori replied.
\"If it's an answering machine, I have a message too.\" The man who claimed to be a great artist next to Sutori walked out and said to Twilight.
\"Really?\" Twilight asked, looking at the other man.
"Of course it's true, I said I'll pay you back even though I'll be late, so if you sell that, I'll slaughter you.\" The man explained to Twilight what he had recorded.
\"Well, the answering machine doesn't seem to have his...\" Xiaobai saw that the answering machine had stopped working, walked over and pressed it.
\"I'm Hatano, Mr. Hirojiro......\"\"I'm Suto, and I'm scheduled to meet you at six o'clock...\" The same words came from the answering machine.
\"Xiaobai, don't mess around with things in the scene like Conan, otherwise Dad will be angry.\" Xiaolan stepped forward and hugged Xiaobai.As for Maori, he glanced at Xiaobai and didn't say anything.
\"Hi.\" Xiaobai turned his head and smiled, he finally knew the answer.
"Madam, are there any valuables in this room?" asked Twilight as she turned to Maruinako.
\"I'm sure the key to the vault is in the cupboard.\" Marinako replied and walked towards the cabinet next to him.
\"It's gone.\" When he walked to the cabinet and opened a drawer, Maruko said as she looked at the contents of the drawer in surprise.
"What do you think?" asked in a low voice as he walked up to Conan.
\"Huh?\" Conan looked at Xiaobai suspiciously.
\"The murderer's problem.\" Xiaobai reminded.
"Well, there's a clue, but there's still a little bit of key missing... Important evidence.\" Conan replied, touching his chin.
\"There's a Evidence Answering Machine, maybe that evidence isn't so obvious, but there's another ironclad evidence in this room.\" Xiaobai looked at Conan who was thinking, and reminded him.
"Where is the ironclad evidence?" Conan asked hurriedly with his hands on Xiaobai's shoulders.
\"Well, Conan, what's wrong with you?\" Twilight asked, looking at Conan and Shiro.
\"Hahaha, it's nothing, Officer Twilight.\" Conan turned around and touched his head and laughed.
\"What kind of proof are you talking about?\" Conan asked Xiaobai in a low voice.
"Look, didn't that woman point it out to you.\" Xiaobai pointed to the pill rice that was talking in front of the cabinet.
\"By the way, is there a camera here that can take pictures?\" Conan looked at the cabinet and seemed to think of something, and ran to the young maid and asked.
"I know I have one at home.\" The girl replied.
...
"Kendo master...\" Xiaobai stared at Suwa, thinking about something.
\"I'm playing puzzles.\" Conan, who had been thinking for a while, walked to the side and was putting together something.
\"......\" Conan ignored.
\"Actually, I don't need to put together this puzzle, I know what's on it.\" Xiaobai squatted and looked at the puzzle pieces that Conan laid out on the board.
\"......\" Conan as always.
\"You're really, you know the answer...\" Xiaobai muttered on the side.
\"That's because I have to prove that my reasoning is right, just knowing the answer, that's just guessing, and only getting real evidence can we convict the prisoner.\" Conan said as he stood up, smiling as confidently as he was.
\"That proves it now?\" Xiaobai asked with a confident smile as he looked at Conan.
\"Well, everything is understood.\" Conan smiled.
\"Please come back to the office with me.\" Xiaobai said as he looked at the man who called himself a great artist.
"You're still not dead.\" Maori said to the man opposite.
"Uh...\" Maori seemed startled, then took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
\"Damn, that guy is making his own decisions again.\" Xiaobai looked at Maori who was sitting on the ground and frowned.
\"It seems that the most important thing to pay attention to at this time is Suwa.,If the victim's three-stage kendo is not a fraud.,Then Suwa will only be more powerful than him.,The current uncle has been stunned by the anesthetic needle.,There is no way to do anything in this state.If Suwa takes out any weapon and does it against his uncle,The consequences are unimaginable.\" Xiaobai thought as he slowly walked to Maori's side, he had to be fully prepared.
\"Huh?\" Xiaobai looked at the slowly tilted body that was about to fall to the ground, and hurriedly ran forward, although Conan was not very good at doing such a thing to his uncle, but he couldn't let his identity be exposed.
\"Uncle, you just tell the murderer's modus operandi.\" Xiaobai ran to Maori, straightened Maori, and shouted coquettishly.
\"Xiaobai, don't disturb Dad's work.\" Xiaolan said as she walked towards Xiaobai.
\"Ahem, Xiaobai, Uncle Hui is telling you about the murderer's modus operandi, now let's clear Akutsu's suspicion first.\" Maori, who lowered his head, coughed a few times,
"Oh...\" Xiaobai was picked up by Xiaolan and then taken aside.
"Huh, why didn't you see Conan?" Ran looked around and asked suspiciously.
\"Conan, Uncle just said that he had something to do, and now he doesn't know where to go.\" Seeing Xiaolan looking for Conan's figure, Xiaobai explained where Conan went.
\"That's right... Dad is really, he can't do anything by himself, since he wants a child like Conan to do it, I won't be able to spare him later.\" Xiaolan said menacingly.
\"Hehe, uncle, this is really a disaster.\" Xiaobai looked at Xiaolan who seemed to be gushing flames from behind, and could only pray to his uncle.
...
\"Because Mr. Hirojiro told me that someone would come to his house between four and five o'clock, so he made an appointment with me for another time, so I thought, even if I came earlier than six o'clock at the scheduled time, how about it? Detective Mori, do you still doubt me?\" Sutori explained the reason why he came so early when he mentioned on the answering machine that he knew that Hirojiro was not at home.
"I'm not suspicious of you, but I'm pretty sure you're the murderer.\" Maori's confident voice came.
\"It seems that we have to keep an eye on him next.\" Xiaobai's eyes kept staring at Suwa, no longer paying attention to anything else.
...
\"This, this is...\" As Maori reasoned, Twilight exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the cabinet that had been put back in its original position.
\"It's a knife...\" Suwa whispered as Mori said something.
"Is the knife in the victim's hand?"
\"Hmph... What is that broken metal.\" Suwa looked at the katana held by the police officer next to him, then turned his head and said.
\"As collateral is the famous sword Kikuchiyo that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Suwa family, and the man took that knife...\" Suwa said as he fell into a memory and told what had happened.
\"That guy sold Kikuchiyo to someone else, and said that he didn't sell it for any money at all, and said that he would use it as interest... Then I killed him in a fit of rage.\" After Suwa finished speaking, his squinted eyes suddenly opened.
\"That's right, it's like this.\" I saw Suwa snatch the katana from the police officer on the side, push it away, and rush towards Mori.
The sword was unsheathed, and Suwa had rushed in front of Mori with his katana, and was ready to fall.
\"How can I let you succeed.\" Xiaobai had already acted at the same time when Sutori acted, and rushed to the left side of Sutori at a faster speed than Sutori,
The sword fell in a semi-circular arc, and it was only a few meters away from Maori, and Xiaolan's screams also came out, but at this time, Xiaobai couldn't hear everything, and he stared at Sutori intently.
\"No murderous aura?\" Xiaobai frowned, as if he didn't feel anything, but looking at the arc of Suto's arm falling, he bumped into Suto.
\"Bang...\" I saw Suto being knocked by Xiaobai and sitting on the ground against the wallboard, and the katana was held tightly by him and did not let go.
\"Xiaobai...\" Xiaolan looked at Xiaobai who fell beside Sutori and screamed worriedly.
"What a brave child.\" Suto said, standing up and looking at Shiro, who was also standing up.
\"And then, as you said, even so, I didn't move when I saw my big knife approaching, worthy of the famous detective Mr. Mori Kogoro.For me, the biggest mistake was not counting you.This is also my biggest mistake.\" Suto put the knife into the scabbard, looked at the side of the Mori and said, then bowed his head to Mori in respect.
\"Uncle, you're wrong.On the contrary, you haven't found out your mistake until now.\" Xiaobai patted the dust off his body, although the death overlord suit he was wearing was black and he couldn't see the dust.
\"Oh?\" Sutori looked at Xiaobai behind him with a surprised expression.
\"You've given up your dignity as a swordsman.\" Xiaobai said as he looked up at Suto.
\"Huh?\" Sutake looked at Xiaobai suspiciously.
\"Ever since you gave up Kikuchiyo, which has been passed down from generation to generation in your family, it also means that Kikuchiyo has also given up on you, and the reason why swordsmen are swordsmen is because of the sword in their hands that makes them called swordsmen.\" Xiaobai glanced at Sutori, and then didn't know what he was thinking.
\"I don't know why you sold Kikuchiyo to that old man, and I don't know if you ever thought about whether you heard Kikuchiyo cry when you gave Kikuchiyo to this old man.\" Xiaobai looked at Sutori and shook his head.
"Crying?\" Suto looked at Xiaobai, shaking his head, and muttered to himself with his head down.
\"Yes, cry.\" Xiaobai looked at the knife marks in the room, and said to Suto in front of him, but because the voice was so small, only Suto could hear it, and I didn't know whether this sentence was for Suto or for himself.
\"Alright, please come with me to the office.\" Twilight instructed the officers, and the two officers walked up to Suto.
"Maybe I get what you mean, but I'm a sinner now... Maybe I can't pick up Kikuchiyo.\" Sutori, who was handcuffed, turned to Xiaobai and said when he was taken out.
\"Whether you are a sinner or not has nothing to do with whether you can afford to pick it up, the point is, whether you still have the courage to pick it up again.\" Xiaobai raised his head and smiled.
\"Thank you, I think I know what I'm going to do.\" Suto lowered his head, as if he had made up his mind, raised his head and said seriously to Xiaobai.
Looking at Sutori who was taken away, and Sutori's smile when he left, Xiaobai smiled slightly.
\"Hey, you guy, I really didn't expect you to have a study of kendo.\" As Xiaolan comforted Maori, Conan walked up to Xiaobai and whispered.
\"...\" Xiaobai glanced at Conan, and surprisingly didn't say anything.
\"Conan, Xiaobai, we're going home.\" After Xiaolan explained many times and checked with Dr. Hatano to confirm that there was no wound, Maori finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then Xiaolan said to Conan and Xiaobai,
\"Hi.\" Conan replied loudly, but Xiaobai didn't respond.
"What's wrong?is it uncomfortable?\" Xiaolan squatted down and touched Xiaobai's forehead.
\"Ah, it's okay, Sister Xiaolan.\" Xiaobai raised his head and said to Xiaolan with a smile.
\"This smile...\" Xiaolan seemed to remember the lonely back of Xiaobai on the day of the ** Festival.
"Then we're going home.\" Xiaolan said as she stood up.
\"Hi.\" Xiaobai responded.
"What's wrong?\" After going home, after dinner, it was a bath, which was different, Xiaobai also pulled Conan closer to the bathroom and lay in the bathtub, Xiaobai asked Conan on the other side in a low voice.
\"Have you ever wondered what would happen if that knife really hit Uncle Maori?\" Xiaobai asked, looking up at Conan.
\"And the time on the Shinkansen, if Gin or Vodka went to check the gum, what would the result be?\" Before Conan could speak, Xiaobai seemed to continue talking to himself.
\"I...\" Conan hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
\"If Uncle dies, Sister Xiaolan will be sad.\" Looking at Conan, Xiaobai continued.
\"If the gum had been viewed at that time, the bugging in it would have reminded them a lot, and if then, they had found Uncle Maori, then, perhaps, we...\" Xiaobai said and stopped.
\"...\" Conan surprisingly didn't retort, but lowered his head.
\"I'm out.\" Xiaobai got up to wipe the water stains on his body, said to Conan, who was still soaking in warm water without saying a word, and then put on his clothes and walked outside.
\"Oh, I really don't know what I'm angry with Conan, I know that in the animation, Conan will put Uncle Maori to sleep with an anesthetic needle when he is reasoning. Why are you so angry?Perhaps,Maori in animation,It's always animation.,Here... It's reality.\" Xiaobai sat in the computer chair, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and muttered to himself.
\"Swordsman...\" looked at the moon in the sky that was about to be full, and never turned his gaze.
