Sunday, May 19th, evening, Maru Fu House.

After listening to the two messages, after a while, there was still no more message playing, and Mr. Akutsu said, "It's strange, I obviously left a message, why don't you have mine?"

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Oh, what did you say?"

Mr. Akutsu said, "What I said is that although it will be a little later, I will definitely pay back the money, so if you sell that, I will definitely slaughter you." ”

"Slaughtered?" the Twilight Police Department asked rhetorically.

"No, no," Mr. Akutsu said quickly, "I'm just scaring him." Then he explained, "He said that if I could not repay the money, I would sell the carvings that I had taken as collateral." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "What kind of carving is it?"

Pointing to the top of the cabinet in the reception room, which was scratched with knife marks, Mr. Akutsu said, "It's the dragon." Then he walked over, looked at it carefully, and smiled, "Great, no scars." ”

Looking at the three damaged ornaments next to him, Conan said, "Uncle, you are so lucky, the room was cut into a mess, and only that carving was fine." ”

"Huh?" Glancing around the reception room, where none of the other furnishings were intact, the Dusk Police Department asked, "Mr. Akutsu, what do you explain about that?"

"You killed Mr. Marufu, and then you tried to blame Mr. Suwa for the crime," Mori said, "Unfortunately, you made two mistakes, the first is that you made the victim hold the knife in the opposite direction, and the other is that the dragon carving did not leave any scars, and even if you want to blame, you can't let the carving, which is more important than your life, suffer any damage." Then he asked, "Is that so?"

"I don't know kendo," Mr. Akutsu asked, "how can I win against Mr. Marufu?"

Maori asked rhetorically, "Wouldn't it be easy for you to stun him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" shouted Mr. Akutsu.

"So, why would you lie that you left a message on the answering machine?"

Mr. Akutsu said, "I'm not lying, I called at three o'clock, and I really had a message. ”

"At three o'clock?" said Maori, "at three o'clock, a call did come in, but it was strange. He then explained, "The phone rang three times this afternoon, and the second and third rang, and according to the time, it must have been Dr. Hatano and Mr. Suwa." But the first call at three o'clock rang a lot. ”

"That's what I called. Mr. Akutsu immediately said, "My phone rang for a long time, and then I got through, but it turned out to be the sound of the answering machine. ”

"Ah, that's how we set it up," Mrs. Inako explained, "and our phone is set up so that it will automatically switch to an answering machine as soon as it rings a dozen times. ”

"By the way, you heard the phone ringing in this reception room, at the scene of Mr. Fujiro Semaru. Maori asked, "That should be the time of the crime, so doesn't that mean that you are the murderer?"

"You talk nonsense, I hit it at home. Mr. Akutsu said.

The Twilight Police Department said, "We'll find out about it." ”

"Mr. Akutsu's collateral is a dragon carving," Yamazaki whispered, standing behind Mori, "Mr. Suwa......"

"By the way," Mori asked, "Mr. Suwa, what did you use as collateral, and when you borrowed money, you must have paid collateral too, right?"

"......," Mr. Suwa replied, "a famous sword." ”

"Oh," the Twilight Police Department asked, "So, where is this knife now? in this reception room?"

Mr. Suwa said, "Not here. ”

"So, Mrs. Inako," asked the Twilight Police Department, "where does Mr. Maru Fujiro usually keep these things?" ”

"My husband's collection is usually kept in the vault. "And the key is in the cabinet in this reception room." So saying, he walked to the front of the cabinet and opened a drawer, but Mrs. Inatoko immediately exclaimed, "Ah, it's gone, the key to the vault is gone." ”

"What?" said the Dusk Police Department in surprise.

Quickly pulling up the other drawers on the cabinet, after a moment, Mrs. Daozi exclaimed in surprise, "I found it." ”

The Dusk Police Department asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, in another drawer. After closing the drawers one by one, Mrs. Inatoko turned and said, "But, strangely, my husband usually keeps it there." Then he went to the vault accompanied by the police.

These drawers, Conan thought to himself, the knife marks on them are not coherent, these cabinets have been replaced, it turned out that they were to cover up the marks on them, so there should be a death message on them, as long as they are restored, then they can know who the murderer is.

Thinking of this, Conan turned around and wanted to ask the maid if she had a camera, but as soon as he turned around, he was held down by Yamazaki.

Yamazaki asked, "What do you want to do again?"

"I'm going to borrow something. Conan said, then asked in surprise, "No, you know the clue to the drawer." So you just reminded Uncle Maori, did you reassemble the drawer and know that the murderer was him?"

"Although he has not been regrouped, if no one else has done it by other means, he is the only one who can do it. "And you can ask Uncle Maori to spell it out first." ”

"Me?" Conan asked rhetorically.

"Is it me?" said Yamazaki with a smile, "I'm long past the age of playing such simple puzzles." ”

"Alright, alright," Conan whispered behind Maori, "Ahh ”

"Puzzles?" Mori said, looking at the disjointed marks on the cabinet, "If so......"

Seeing Maori walk to the front of the cabinet and observe the cabinet carefully, the Dusk Police Department asked, "Maori, what are you ......?"

"Look at the marks on the drawers, look at the twilight department," asked Maori, "can't the drawers connect to the marks on the adjacent drawers?"

"Hmm......" exclaimed the Dusk Police Department, "really, if that'......"

"Death message," Mori laughed, "Mr. Maru must have left a death message on it, which is why the murderer will adjust the position of the drawer out of order, and the knife marks in this room must have been made to cover up the unnaturalness of this cabinet." ”

"Alright," the Twilight Police Department laughed, "and when Mrs. Inatoko comes, let her bring the drawers back." ”

After a while, seeing that Mrs. Daozi still did not come, everyone came to the outside of the reception room.

Seeing Mr. Suwa standing under a tree and walking behind him, Yamazaki said, "Hey. ”

Taken aback, Mr. Suwa immediately looked back.

"Your heart is upset," Yamazaki said, "and it's too late to turn yourself in." ”

"What did you say?" asked Mr. Suwa.

"In the afternoon, meditate in the sword room, you are collecting your heart after killing someone. Yamazaki said, "The calluses on your hands are growing again, and the knife will still hurt your hands, and you can't control your heart anymore." ”

"What did you say?" asked Mr. Suwa, surprised.

"There is a famous sword, there is history, and the surname is Suwa. Your Suwa family inherits the techniques of the new Yin Stream, but it's just a few skins, and it can only be said that the history is long enough. If it's a famous knife, Kikuchiyo, who has a long enough history, can barely be considered a one. Yamazaki said, "With Kikuchiyo, which has been passed down from generation to generation, as collateral, it's no wonder you're upset, and now that the knife is gone, it's no wonder you're killing." ”

"You, you......" Mr. Suwa was speechless in surprise.

"That's what Uncle Maori told me to say," Yamazaki said with a smile, "and he said to turn himself in while the results of the investigation are still in." ”

"Mao, Maori detectives?" Mr. Suwa asked rhetorically.

"Yes," Yamazaki laughed, "Uncle Maori has seen through all your tricks. Mr. Maruko knew that he couldn't defeat you, so he deliberately fought by the cabinet, so that the knife could be split on the cabinet, and as long as there were two crosses, then he could leave your hiragana with a little more processing. Therefore, in order to get away with the crime, after killing Mr. Marufu, you heard the phone ringing, heard Mr. Akutsu's message, washed his message, and then reversed the drawers on the cabinet, and then left a knife mark in the room to cover the name on the cabinet, and left Mr. Akutsu's carving, trying to blame him. And when you finally fought back, let Mr. Marufu take it back, also to reduce the suspicion. ”

"It seems that I have been completely seen through by the Maori detectives," Mr. Suwa said to himself, bowing his head, "My heart is really messed up, so it took me ten knives to kill him, and that's why I did so much." ”

Yamazaki said, "Mrs. Inako is back, and it's time to decide." ”

"I decided. As he spoke, Mr. Suwa walked over to Mori, who was standing alone under a tree and smoking. ……
