Chapter 71 Learning to grasp the key points can save a lot of words

The doctor next to him, Hatano, and the carver, Akutsu, nodded when they heard this, but halfway through the order, they suddenly found that everyone was looking at them, and immediately reacted, "What do you mean!" I don't know that Suwa! ”

"Well......", there is no conclusive evidence, of course Twilight will not directly say that they are the murderers, but his eyes have obviously expressed his meaning, "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the purpose of the visit first." ”

The two looked at each other blankly for a moment, and Akutsu spoke first, "I borrowed nine million from Mr. Maru, but I can't pay it back for a while, and today I'm here to ask him for a few days." ”

With these words, this person's suspicion was raised by countless points, and Maori Kogoro looked at him wrongly, gave up chasing Suwa, and ran over to ask Akutsu, "Where are you between three and five o'clock when the murder happened?" ”

"At that time, I was sculpting ...... alone in the studio", Akutsu also realized the problem, and the sweat came down, and he raised his hand to wipe it.

Dr. Hatano was also quite nervous for some reason, and after Akutsu finished speaking, he also hurriedly spoke, "I, I'm here today to give Mr. Maru, who has diabetes, a routine checkup. ”

He grinded and chirped for a long time, but he never said where he was at three or five o'clock.

Bai Shu knew very well, he had met this man in the morning - this is the photo he took, the man with a hat and a collar and a tight cover was also Maru's lover.

I have to say that from the fact that Mori Kogoro still hasn't recognized him, these disguises are really effective.

Conan shrugged his nose behind Hatano at this time and sniffed, he seemed to smell something, frowned for a moment, and then began to run around the ground, sniffing around, and when he passed by the white tree, he held him down, "What are you doing?" ”

"This doctor smells of women's perfume." , Conan didn't shy away from him, and analyzed in a low voice, "Before he came here, it was likely that he had close contact with women." ”

…… This sense of smell is really good to say, although until now, Conan didn't know that Hatano was Maruinako's lover, but if he sniffed it again, he probably knew it right away.

Compared with the murder, the derailment incident can only be regarded as a small episode, there is no need to waste time here, and ......

"Don't let this bear kid say it! I'm ashamed enough! Maru Jiro howled boldly.

It's one thing to be green, it's another thing to be green and get hyped up.

He didn't want to run to reincarnate with a green light!

Bai Shu was speechless for a moment, feeling that he could satisfy his self-deceptive little wish, so he tried to divert Conan's attention, "This is not the point, look at the cabinet over there......"

He pointed down to the wall, an almost square cabinet made up of small 4x5 drawers, the surface of which was covered with scratches like the rest of the room.

Conan was surprised to hear that he was not pretending to be stupid, and immediately took a closer look at the cabinet, and after a moment, his eyes widened: most of the things on the cabinet had been cut to pieces, but there was a dragon-shaped sculpture that was placed on it unharmed.

…… Even a fool can see that there is something wrong with this.

At this time, the Twilight Police Department and Akutsu's side happened to quarrel.

The reason is that Twilight asks why the three of them came to Maruton Jiro's house at the same time when the time they agreed on is different, and the three of them have their own excuses, and they all say that they left a message on the answering machine.

But when I put out a message to listen, there were only two messages, one was "Beep-I'm Hatano, isn't Mr. Maru at home?" …… Well, as I said, I'll be there around five o'clock, and I'll see you later. Beep - it's 4:38"

The other one is "Beep-I'm Suwa, and I was supposed to make an appointment at 6 o'clock, but I want to visit early so that I can go home early to prepare for next month's kendo upgrade appraisal, so I'll see you later." Beep – it's 4:41. ”

But after playing back and forth several times, I didn't hear Akutsu's message, but Akutsu insisted that he recorded it, and retold the content, "I really didn't lie!" I was like, 'I'll be late, I'll pay it back, but if you dare to sell my collateral, I'm not welcome!'" ’”

"You're welcome?" , Twilight and Mori Kogoro feel more and more suspicious about him.

Akutsu's momentum suddenly froze, "No, I just want to scare him, after all, he has that kind of history of selling collateral indiscriminately...... My collateral is my Master's masterpiece and is very important to me. ”

Hearing this, Conan's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the only intact sculpture dragon on the cabinet, and he opened his mouth to shout Uncle is so strange why your things are intact, but only then did he make a breath sound, and Leng Buding was covered by Bai Shu from behind.

"No, no, no, that's not the point." , Bai Shu was embarrassed, thinking that your Maori uncle was already misled, and if you add such a fire, even if you solve the case, the prestige of the detective will be greatly reduced.

He pulled Conan's head down slightly, causing his gaze to fall on the cabinet, "Look at those scratches, don't you think something is wrong?" ”

Conan was still trying to pull his hand, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped his movements and looked back at the cabinet.

After taking my attention away from the overly conspicuous sculpture, I realized that something was wrong.

Compared to other places, the scratches on the cabinet are particularly dense, and they are deep and shallow, and a few of them are particularly deep, and they are a little intermittent when you look closely: many places reach the edge of the drawer, and they are staggered.

Seeing that Conan finally stopped being entangled in the sculpture, Bai Shu withdrew his hand and asked Marudaoko pretending that nothing happened, "Mrs. Maru, have you lost any valuables here, in case the murderer takes advantage of the chaos to take something, it can be found as evidence." ”

"Oooh.". Maru Inako also remembered this stubble, she hurried to find the key to the safe, but as soon as she opened the drawer, she was shocked, "The key is missing!" ”

"What?!" , The Twilight Police Department was taken aback, glanced at Bai Shu, and was relieved to think that this junior was really more capable than Maori Kogoro.

I was about to ask my subordinates to search for the lost items, but after hearing Maru-Inako opening several drawers in a row, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Found it!" When did you move it to this drawer......"

"......", Twilight suddenly deflated, and accused weakly, "Look carefully." ”

He didn't see the problem, but this little episode made Conan suddenly realize: the position of those drawers had been changed!

So...... These scratches all over the room may not only be to blame the kendo master Suwa, but also to cover up the death message left by Maru Don Jiro!

"The guidance is very exciting, it is worthy of you, you found the truth at a glance!" , Marudo Jiro didn't care too much about Conan, a child, and applauded Shiraki.
