According to the testimony of Mori Kogoro, Koran, and Conan, who were guests at the deceased's home at the time of the murder, there was a visit to the deceased at around 3 p.m., and the deceased took the guests to a detached room (a Japanese-style house that was built separately from the main house) and never came out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It was about 2 hours later that the maid who returned home found the body of the deceased. ”

In other words, the time of the crime was between 3 and 5 o'clock this afternoon, and the murderer should be among the four people who met with the deceased today. With years of experience as a police officer, Twilight has been able to identify the real culprit of the murder.

Just as Twilight prepares to further interrogate the suspect's alibi, Sxing suddenly yells.

"It's so strange! This uncle's posture of holding a knife is different from that of ordinary people! Doesn't he feel awkward?" Xingchen pointed to the dead Maru Fujiro, and used the coffee milk bottle in his hand as a katana, and gestured to hold the knife, "Most people hold knives with both hands with their right hands in front and their left hands behind. ”

"What's so strange about that, the deceased must have been a left-hander. Mori Kogoro, who had just been hit, jumped out again.

As early as before the police arrived at the scene, Conan noticed the deceased's unnatural knife holding posture, and when he heard Xingchen ask this question, Conan pointed to the photo hanging on the wall and added: "But in the photo, he has his right hand in front and his left hand in the back." ”

"So, the killer deliberately let the deceased hold the knife?"

Although this is the case, Xingchen does not want to see Conan steal the limelight from him, so he is suspicious: "Uncle Maori deserves to be a great detective! Maybe the deceased was really left-handed. He may normally hold a sword in his right hand in front of everyone. And holding the sword in his left hand is his killer move, which will only be used when it is a matter of life and death. ”

After saying that, Xingchen glanced at Conan demonstratively, as if to say that I am better than you.

"But no matter how much you slash each other in this room, will anyone fight to the ceiling?" Conan retorted, unconvinced.

"Conan, it seems that you don't have a good memory, didn't I just say it! The deceased was killed only after using a special move, which means that both the murderer and the deceased are masters. Do you know Roronoa Zoro, the average kendo master can release sword energy, and it's not a strange thing to leave sword marks on the ceiling!"

Everyone was speechless at Xingchen's strong words, where would there be a master of sword qi in reality?

"Ahem. Twilight coughed awkwardly and began to formally interrogate the suspect, "Could you please tell me where the crime occurred and what you are here for?"

"At that time, I was supposed to meditate alone in the martial arts hall. The purpose of coming here has already been said, it is to repay Mr. Marufu. Kendo master Yuji Suwa patiently answered Twilight's question.

"I also borrowed money from Mr. Marufu, and the amount is 10 million. However, I didn't have time to raise so much money, so today I came to ask Mr. Marufu for a few days. At the time of the crime, I was carving alone in the studio. The unpopular sculptor Makoto Kutsu looked a little nervous.

"I am Mr. Marufu's attending doctor, and today I am here to do a routine check-up for Mr. Marufu, who is suffering from diabetes. Dr. Hatano seemed a little slurred, "I, I was watching a movie in Ginza around 3 to 5 p.m. ”

After listening to the answers of the three suspects, Conan held his chin in one hand and pondered, "Except for Uncle Maori, none of these three people have a clear alibi, who is the real murderer?"

He had been paying attention to Conan's stars, and seeing that Conan was thinking about the case, he deliberately shouted, "It's strange! Why did the dead uncle meet three people with different purposes at the same time?"

"yes, why did you all get here around five?" said Twilight, looking at the three suspects suspiciously.

The three of them gave the details of the matter. Dr. Hatano agreed on five o'clock, and Yuji Suwa and Makoto Akutsu agreed at six and four o'clock, but they both left messages to the deceased through the answering machine and changed the agreed time to five o'clock.

Twilight quickly finds the phone in the messy crime scene and presses the message play button.

"I'm Hatano, isn't Mr. Marufu here? It's nerve-wracking! We're still going according to the original plan, I'll arrive around five o'clock, goodbye. "It's 4:38. "The answering machine will prompt the time of this message after leaving a message.

"I'm Suwa, and I've made an appointment to meet you at six o'clock today, but I want to visit early so that I can go home early to prepare for next month's kendo upgrade appraisal. "It's 4:41. ”

There was no message from Makoto Kutsu in the phone message.

"Why don't you have a message on the phone?"

Seeing Twilight's distrustful eyes, Ah Jiujin said anxiously: "I really didn't lie to you, I still remember what I said, 'I'll be late, I will definitely pay back the money!'

Is this man an idiot? He would say such things at such a time!

Knowing that he had lost his words, Makoto Kutsu immediately explained: "I just wanted to scare him, because he said that if I didn't pay the money, he would take the carving I mortgaged and sell it." It was a masterpiece made by my master. ”

As if feeling the suspicious eyes of the people around him, Ah Jiujin Cheng looked around, found a vivid dragon carving artwork on the shelf, and said, "It's that dragon." ”

Taking a closer look, Ajiutsu Makoto breathed a long sigh of relief, "Great, there is no damage." ”

"Wow, uncle, you're so lucky, you see that everything in the house has been cut in a mess, only this dragon carving is intact, and even the things next to this carving have been broken, which is a miracle. Conan said casually.

Looking at the innocent expression on Conan's face, except for Xingchen, who is familiar with the plot, I am afraid that no one can think that he is the blackest here.

"I see, I see!" Immortal Kogoro jumped out again, "Mr. Akutsu, the murderer is you!"

"You killed Mr. Marufu, and then blame Mr. Maru for the crime. Unfortunately, you made two mistakes. First, you have reversed the order in which the victim holds the knife in both hands. Another point is that there are no scars on the dragon carvings. ”

"Even if you kill someone, you can't hurt a carving that is more important than your life, can you?"

At the critical moment when Mori Kogoro was pressing on Akutsu Makoto step by step, Xingchen suddenly burst out laughing, "Ha! Ha! Ha! I know, the murderer is you!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Xingchen's finger and found that the real murderer Xingchen said was actually Maori Kogoro!
