Chapter 21: The Cursed Man
In the palatial western restaurant, elegant luthiers are playing beautiful music. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fragrance of the incense candle when it burns fills the air and makes people feel intoxicated.
After a meeting, the leaders of the Metropolitan Police Department decided that in order to encourage the good citizens of the Junior Detective Corps to actively report the crime, they specially approved Twilight to take them to a big meal, and all expenses during the period could be reimbursed with public funds.
So, Twilight found a high-grade Western restaurant and ordered a table full of delicacies.
"I'm moving!" Before the words fell, the sound of knives and forks colliding was endless.
An hour later.
"Uh!" Yuan Tai burped, patted her stomach with her hand with satisfaction, and said, "It's so full!"
"yes, it's delicious!" Mitsuhiko smiled and picked up a tissue to wipe the rice stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Thank you, Officer Twilight, you're such a nice guy. Ayumi was very sensible and thanked Twilight.
Seeing the children eating happily at the table, Twilight was also in a good mood and had a great appetite. Isn't it just to be a police officer to see such a smile every day!
Especially if you don't have to spend your own money yet!
"Since everyone has finished eating, then I will pay. Twilight called out to the waiter.
The waiter said with a professional smile on his face, "Hello sir, it's 25,000 yen in total." ”
Twilight took out her wallet very proudly, counted out the corresponding number of bills and handed it to the waiter, "Take it, I want to issue a bill!"
"I'm sorry, sir. Our store has just run out of invoices. The waiter took the bill and said apologetically.
What? If you don't have an invoice, you can't be reimbursed, and you have to pay for the money yourself.
Thinking of this, Twilight's expression suddenly became tangled.
Xingchen, who saw all this in his eyes, suddenly said to Twilight: "Dad, did you bring a police gun out?
Twilight immediately understood the hint from the stars, and pretended to be angry, "How can a child play with a police gun casually! ”
Then, when Twilight puts her wallet back in her pocket, she doesn't know what happened, and Twilight's police ID card "accidentally" falls out.
"If you don't have an invoice, let's do it, we have time to wait. Twilight picked up the police ID card that had fallen on the floor, and instead of putting it back in her pocket as soon as possible, she placed it in a prominent position on the dining table.
After a while, the lobby manager of the western restaurant personally took the invoice, apologized to Twilight, and gave coupons. also said that the waiter just now did not serve well, and promised to deduct the person's bonus.
Looking at the smiling face of the lobby manager, Xingchen sighed in his heart: "The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are not ancient!"
After eating this hearty lunch, Twilight drove Motota and the others home in a police car.
Xingchen didn't want to go home directly, and shouted to visit the inside of the Metropolitan Police Department, "In order to inherit my father's profession in the future, I want to familiarize myself with the internal configuration of the police station first." ”
Isn't it true that criminals have to step on the spot before committing a crime?
After careful consideration, Twilight felt that with his position in the bureau today, this little thing would not be harmful. So I decided to go home with the stars in the evening.
I didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and just before getting off work, the bureau received a call to report the case.
"Damn, won't the prisoners rest? Yesterday there was a murder, and today another person died. Twilight put on his brown trench coat, which he never changed. "Xingchen, go back by yourself, I have a case to deal with now. ”
"The informant's name is Moriran, and according to him, there was a murder at No. 23 Seven-chome...... "Police Officer A briefly reported the situation to Twilight.
Hearing that it was Sister Xiaolan, Xingchen suddenly became interested, and coquettishly wanted to go with her.
In desperation, Twilight can only compromise, hoping that Xingchen can bring good luck to solving the case as usual.
At the scene of the murder, the first thing Xingchen noticed was not the messy furniture, nor the sword marks all over the house. It's a detective cursed by death - Conan.
"Conan, what a coincidence, how can I meet you every time someone dies?" Xingchen appeared from behind Twilight with a bottle of coffee milk and teased Conan, "Could it be that you have something dirty on you?"
"Huh...... "......In order not to make people think of it, Maori Kogoro is present every time he solves a case, and Conan can only laugh helplessly.
"The victim, Marufujiro, fifty-one, is the owner of this house, and the fatal wound was stabbed in the chest with a katana...... "Although the Japanese police's reasoning ability is not good, their information-gathering ability is not bad.
Seeing a picture of the deceased wearing a kendo uniform and holding a sword on the wall, Twilight asked the deceased's wife, "Does your husband usually practice kendo?"
"Kendo three dan. The wife replied cautiously.
"Oh, the technology is pretty good!" Twilight complimented.
Kendo is divided into ten dans, and the strongest ones are generally seven and eight dans. Honors that can only be earned based on contributions made through life deeds. In other words, the third stage is just slightly stronger than the entry.
Twilight's own reasoning ability is average, and he knows how high he is by looking at his body type, and the reason why he can mix into his current position is that in addition to being serious about handling cases, his ability to praise people is a major factor.
There is Kudo Shinichi in the front, and Kogoro Mori in the back. They are the ones who solve the case, but most of the benefits are taken away by Twilight.
People who know how to use the abilities of others are often more likely to achieve higher status than those who are more capable of their own.
Xingchen walked up to Conan and whispered, "Conan, are you interested in who will solve the case first this time?"
"Detective is not a mystery game, catching the murderer is the duty of the detective, I have no interest in competing with you. Conan said coldly.
"Damn! Then I'll make it impossible for you to catch the real culprit. "The innocent Conan was so hated by the careful-eyed stars.
The police officers who collected evidence at the scene found a notepad next to the deceased, which recorded the four people that the deceased was going to meet today, namely Mori Kogoro, Yuji Suwa, Hatano Kiya, and Makoto Akutsu.
At this time, the police officer guarding the door noticed a suspicious man wandering in front of the house.
"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 my husband asks him to come here every week." ”
After a while, several police officers caught Ah Jiujin, who claimed to be a carving artist.
In this way, the four people in the notepad have reached three. Twilight checked with the deceased's notebook.
"I know, since the murderer has already come, it is definitely Yuji Suwa who did not appear. Mori Kogoro reasoned confidently.
"Yes, it's rare to be fooled by you once. Xingchen, who knew the plot, praised Maori Kogoro a little in his heart.
Just as Mori Kogoro was proud, a flat voice came from behind him, "I'm Yuji Suwa, what's going on here?"
"Uncle, you're practicing Japanese kendo!" Conan grabbed Yuji Suwa's left hand and said, "Uncle, you have a thin scar between your thumb and index finger in the palm of your hand, and people who practice Japanese kendo often get injured in this part when they put their knives away. ”
"Sure enough, you're the murderer. "The undead Mori Kogoro pointed his finger at Yuji Suwa again," the scene was full of sword marks, and from the conclusion that the deceased died with a katana. The murderer is a kendo master, you!"
"Nonsense, I'm just here to pay it back, and I borrowed five million yen from him. With that, Yuji Suwa took out a thick stack of money from his inner pocket.
In the face of a huge amount of cash, Mori Kogoro went down again.
Twilight, who knew that he could no longer count on Maori, realistically pushed him aside and began to interrogate the remaining three suspects.
