Chapter 10: A Trick Buried Under the Marks of the Sword
"Hey, Matsuda, I heard that Takagi was miserable by you the other day?" When Matsuda limp in the corridor of the Metropolitan Police Department like a snail crawling towards a lesson, Yumi appeared behind Matsuda and put her right hand on Matsuda's shoulder.
Aha~~~ Matsuda yawned and said forcefully, "How can you blame me." Didn't there be a murder two days ago? After the deal was done, the only thing left was not done, and it happened that I was not there for anything, so I let Takagi go up. ”
"Is it really a coincidence?" Yumi smiled sweetly, her eyes curled into crescents, "You slipped away again." Poor Takagi-kun, I've been bullied by you all the time. ”
"Hey, you can't say that, it's just a transcript. Matsuda waved his hand: "I'm also here to help him grow." ”
"Nonsense. Yumi said: "I heard that the murderer killed his own brother, and he dressed up as his brother during the interrogation. After taking the notes, Takagi took two days of sick leave. ”
"Eh, you have a crush on that kid, why do you care about him so much?" Matsuda looked at Yumi suspiciously: "Congratulations, you're finally willing to like men." ”
"I hate it, I've been there for a long time. Speaking of which, I've only recently thought you're so powerful. Yumi put her hands on her chest and looked at Matsuda with big watery eyes: "Matsuda, next time take me to the scene to see what you look like when you reason." ”
"Come on. Matsuda said, "I hope that the world is peaceful and everyone abides by the law." My wife is so good that every month I get a good salary. ”
"That's a lot of ideas. Yumi patted Matsuda on the shoulder: "But you're late again today." When I came over just now, I happened to see the Twilight Police Department returning from a regular meeting. ”
"Ahh
Yumi waved at Matsuda's back: "Come on, I hope the Twilight Police Department can scold a little bit of something new today." ”
Hey, it's not that kind of sentence to go over and over. Matsuda did not forget to turn around and pout at Yumi.
Pushing open the door of a lesson, Matsuda saw at first glance that in the corner of Sato, there was indeed an unsightly back standing. didn't go to the police department first to cry and pretend to be pure, first walked to Sato's desk and coughed twice.
"Ahem, ahem. Matsuda said, "What a coincidence, Shiratori Police Department." ”
Shiratori shrugged indifferently: "Matsuda, if I were you, I would definitely sit in my seat in three seconds." ”
"Hehe, I'm not a child" Matsuda was retorting to Shiratori, enveloped by a powerful telekinetic force behind him.
"Matsuda, you bastard, do you know what you're doing!!" A loud roar came from the lesson.
Tyrant, pervert, Zhou peeling, endocrine disorder Matsuda sat quietly in his chair, constantly breaking thoughts. At this time, Matsuda had been pinned here by Twilight for a whole day, and for a whole day, under the high pressure of Twilight, it really didn't move at all.
"See you again, Matsuda, let's work overtime. When Shiratori was about to go back, he passed by Matsuda and said to Matsuda gently. Then he turned to Sato behind him and said, "Sato, let's go to dinner together." I know that there is a restaurant in the province that has good food. ”
Matsuda heard Shiratori so provocative, angrily bit off the paper in his hand one by one, and when he was ready to talk to Shiratori, he heard Sato say, "I'm sorry, I made an appointment with Yumi today." ”
"Yes, that's a shame, I'll have to wait for next time. Shiratori was disappointed, but he didn't want to force anything, but he still had hope: "Then tomorrow"
"Sato, send me home tomorrow, please, please. Matsuda immediately interrupted Shiratori, clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, his head lying on the table.
Seeing Matsuda's virtue, Sato felt angry in his heart, tapped on his head, and said, "If you won't be late tomorrow, then I'll think about it." ”
"Really, why don't you pick me up tomorrow morning?" Matsuda immediately asked: "Okay, that's it, I know that Sato is the best." ”
While he was talking, Twilight pushed the door in, "Matsuda, there's a murder, hurry up and come with me." ”
Sato and Shiratori also turned their gaze to Twilight: "Police, we"
"Oh, you guys, don't use it, take a good rest, tomorrow there is tomorrow's work, I'll just take Matsuda." Twilight said, looking at Matsuda, who was about to get under the table.
"Hey, hey. Matsuda smiled awkwardly: "Police Department, it's difficult for your love to ask for battle, I think it's better to hand it over to the White Bird Police Department today, I'll really go with you, don't stare at me like this." ”
When Matsuda and Twilight arrived at the scene of the crime, they saw Mori Kogoro and Conan waiting aside.
"Hehe" Matsuda got out of the car, came to Kogoro's side, and laughed strangely: "I thought I would be in a small class safely, but I didn't expect to meet you, the plague god!"
"It's a bit too much to say about the plague god. Kogoro bowed his head slightly: "This is clearly the incident calling my detective Kogoro Maori." ”
Matsuda still wanted to argue with Kogoro, but the eyes behind him coughed, and Matsuda immediately looked serious: "Now take us to the scene, and tell the story of the crime again on the way." ”
On the way, Kogoro told what had happened: he brought his daughters Ran and Conan to the house of the deceased Marufujiro to report the results of the affair with Marufujiro's wife that he had investigated, and then Marufujiro went to receive a guest halfway, after which they found the body of the deceased in the parlor.
When I came to the parlor where the crime occurred, the whole room was densely covered with sword marks, and Maru Fujiro was nailed to the pillar with a katana. With a katana in his hand, it seems that he has gone through a fierce battle with the murderer.
The forensic division immediately began its work, looking for any traces that might have been left at the scene. Matsuda walked around the deceased and asked the deceased's wife, "Madam, has Mr. Fujiro practiced kendo again?"
"That's right. The wife of the deceased said, "My husband is a third dan of kendo. ”
"Really? That's pretty impressive. Matsuda looked up at the sword marks on the roof: "Tsk, it's really intense." ”
At this time, Twilight found the deceased's notepad at the feet of the deceased, opened it and looked at it: "It's really a tight schedule, dense." "As of today's schedule, there are only four names, Kogoro Mori, Yuji Suwa, Hatano Kiya, and Makoto Akutsu.
"Oh~~~" Matsuda also leaned over and looked at it: "It's not bad, there are only four people on the list of suspects." ”
"I don't have to count it. Kogoro pointed to himself.
Matsuda looked at Kogoro with disdain and was about to speak, when a sentence suddenly came from outside, "We found someone who can."
A few people came out to look, and a police officer pulled a man with glasses: "This man has been hovering in front of this Woods." ”
"It's Dr. Hatano. When the deceased's wife saw the man, she was surprised and said, "He is my husband's attending doctor, and he comes here every week." ”
Several police officers pulled over a man, and that man was Ah Jiujin, who claimed to be a great artist.
"Roar~~ It's a little interesting, there are already three suspicious ones, but it saves a lot of effort. Matsuda smiled funny, then felt something, looked sideways, and a man came out of the darkness: "Hey, you can't be Mr. Yuji Suwa, right?"
The man nodded, "I'm Suwa, what's the problem?" and then Suwa felt something, and looked down to see a small child holding his left hand.
"Uncle, you're practicing kendo. Conan looked up and smiled sweetly, and began to sell cuteness.
Suwa squatted down and said in surprise, "How do you know the way?" ”
"Because I saw a thin scar between my left thumb and index finger on my uncle's left hand, and people who practice Japanese kendo often get a knife wound when they collect their swords, I guessed if my uncle was practicing Japanese kendo. Conan said.
"That's right, I've studied Japanese kendo. Suwa said.
"Then the murderer is you!" Kogoro pointed at Suwa and announced loudly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, murderer? "Suwa is nameless.
"It's useless to be suspicious, so let's ask them to go and see it. Matsuda said on the side.
"Well, that's fine. Twilight thought about it for a moment and said to them, "You three, please come here." ”
When they came to the reception room and looked at the bloody dead, the three of them were very panicked. Suwa even asked, "Do you think I did it?"
"That's right, whoever looks at the scene will know that this is a trace left by a kendo master. Kogoro said, "Of course the murderer is you." ”
"No kidding. I'm here to pay back Mr. Fujiro's money. Suwa took out a large stack of bills: "Five million in total, all here." ”
"And where are you between three and five o'clock?" asked.
"That's the time. Suwa thought for a moment and replied, "I guess I was meditating in the martial arts hall." ”
"Can anyone prove it?" asked Twilight.
"Nope. Suwa replied.
At this time, Xiaolan expressed the doubts in her heart: "I think it's a little strange. After speaking, he pointed to the deceased: "That knife is held in the opposite way, right?"
Being reminded of this, Twilight and Kogoro paid attention to the knife in the deceased's hand. Conan also interjected at the right time: "That's right, the grip on that photo is the opposite of the corpse." ”
"Could it be that someone deliberately put this knife in the corpse's hands?" said Twilight, surprised.
"Do you see that?" Matsuda sat at the door, leisurely lighting a cigarette for himself: "If the deceased has the strength to slash at the ceiling, it is better to run out of the house and go to Maori and them for help." ”
PS: Regarding the issue of promotion, after all, this is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, not a local police station, and it has only solved a few ordinary murder cases, and Matsuda has some life style problems, so he has to take his time.
