20. Handle cases independently
Then Officer Twilight took Kei Suzuki and Takagi to the scene of the murder that Conan said.
Keisen Suzuki chatted with Conan for a while to understand the purpose of their visit this time. It turned out that Mori Kogoro had received a commission from the deceased to come and investigate the case of his wife's cheating. But I didn't expect that not long after I came, this person died.
At this time, Takagi was reporting to Officer Twilight about his inquiry.
"The deceased's name was Maruhiro Hajiro and he was fifty-one years old. The owner of this home, an antique collector. Kendo 3rd dan. ”
Kei Suzuki looked at the slashing marks on the walls of the room and didn't speak. From these knife marks, Suzuki Kaineng could see that these knife marks were all cut by one person, not when two people were fighting. After squatting down and checking the Japanese sword on the corpse, Kei Suzuki also determined that the murderer was a kendo master (although we all call the Japanese sword a sword, but Japan itself calls it a sword), and the wound on the deceased's body was very neat, and it seemed that the deceased was pierced through the chest with a single knife and nailed to death on the cabinet. Other than that, there is only a wound in the back.
At this time, Officer Twilight looked at the knife on the corpse and said solemnly: "In this case, the murderer is also quite a master." Well, what's on the ground? A victimized notepad? ”
Speaking of the back, Officer Twilight seems to have found something on the floor. After picking up the notepad from the floor, Officer Twilight said, "The itinerary is dense, Conan, are you sure you saw a guest visiting just now?" ”
Conan nodded, "Yes! Although only their feet were seen. ”
After all this time, although he didn't say anything, Kei Suzuki's ability also reassured Officer Twilight. Officer Twilight plans to take a look at Kei Suzuki's case a few more times, and if Kei Suzuki can reassure him, then Officer Twilight will let him go and leave him alone to handle the case. Seeing that Kei Suzuki had looked around the house, Officer Twilight also asked Kei Suzuki, "Brother Suzuki, did you find anything?" ”
Kei Suzuki first nodded, confirming Officer Twilight's opinion, and then shook his head again, "Officer Twilight, I also think that this murderer is a kendo master. But I don't think the killer ever fought the deceased. The knife marks on the walls of the room looked messy, but a closer look reveals that they were the work of just one person. I found only two wounds on the deceased's body, one of which was on the deceased's back, and the other was a fatal wound that pinned him to the cabinet. ”
Kei Suzuki's remark also stunned Officer Twilight, and he randomly found a few knife marks from the four walls of the room to check them. But with Officer Twilight's eyesight, how could he possibly find anything? After watching it a few times, Officer Twilight had to give up his futile move.
However, although Officer Twilight didn't see anything from these knife marks, he still believed Kei Suzuki's conclusion, and continued from this point: "In this case, the murderer must be familiar with the deceased, otherwise the deceased would not have used the back of the back to face a person with a sharp blade." In that case, the people in the room seem to be a little okay. Since all these knife marks in the house were left by the murderer alone, why did he leave so many knife marks? ”
As he said this, Officer Twilight also opened the notepad in his hand. And when Conan heard Kei Suzuki say that the knife wounds in the house were all left by one person, his heart was full of inspiration, but he didn't find any clues, so he looked around the house. However, the room was indeed quite cluttered, and Conan hadn't noticed anything for a while.
Kei Suzuki looked at the notepad, flipped to today's itinerary, and said, "Well, the people I am scheduled to meet today are Mori Kogoro, Yuji Suwa, Hatano Kiya, and Makoto Akutsu. In this way, these four people and the people in this family are very suspicious. By the way, the people who visited the deceased before his death, go and invite them back! ”
At this moment, Conan suddenly shouted loudly and said, "Ah! Look, the scars on that cabinet are so strange! Look here, why did this trace suddenly break? ”
"What?" When Kei Suzuki heard Conan say this, he also noticed that something was wrong on the cabinet, and after taking a closer look, he said, "Yes, the knife marks on this cabinet were carved by two people, and some of them are the same as the other knife marks in the room, but there are other scars on the cabinet." ”
When Officer Twilight heard this, he hurriedly pointed to a few police officers and ordered, "Go and find the other three people that the deceased had seen before his death, and you will rearrange the drawers on this cabinet to see if there are any hidden clues on one of the cabinets." ”
Before the three who had left arrived, Kei Suzuki discovered the secret hidden in the cabinet. It turned out that on the cabinet, there were two large Suwa characters engraved.
Linked to the name of the person who came today, Kei Suzuki arrested Yuji Suwa when he came. At first, Suwa had to quibble, but when he saw the picture on the cabinet, he couldn't say anything more to quibble.
After being taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department, without much interrogation, Suwa confessed his motive for killing Maruhiro Hirojiro. It turned out that in order to borrow money from Maruhiro, Suwa mortgaged his family's ancestral famous sword "Kikuchiyo" to Maruhiro Jiro. But when Suwa brought enough money to redeem Kikuchiyo, which had been passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, Maruhiro casually counted the ransom he paid, and said, "You said that knife?" I had already sold that knife, and it didn't sell for much at all. So the money from the sale will be used as interest on my borrowed money, thank you! ”
Speaking of this, Suwa also said, "So in a fit of rage, I killed him." ”
Kei Suzuki participated in the interrogation of Suwa this time, but since it was the deceased who left clues this time, Suwa had no idea of denying it. The whole case came to an end very smoothly.
When Kei Suzuki came out of the interrogation room, Officer Twilight beckoned to Kei Suzuki, walked to a corner with Kei Suzuki, and said, "Brother Suzuki, you've been a police officer for a while, haven't you?" ”
Kei Suzuki nodded and said, "That's right, Officer Twilight, I've been a police officer for half a year." ”
Officer Twilight smiled and patted Kei Suzuki on the shoulder and said, "Brother Suzuki, in the past half a year, I already know your abilities." Now it seems that you have the ability to handle cases independently! In the future, you can lead the team by yourself, you don't have to follow me! ”
Kei Suzuki laughed, and said loudly at Officer Twilight's experience, "Thank you, Officer Twilight." ”
Officer Twilight also laughed and said, "Brother Suzuki, this is all your effort, and it has nothing to do with me. Okay, I'll tell you a little bit before I go on my next mission. ”
Kei Suzuki didn't say anything else, but still said, "Officer Twilight, thank you!" ”
