Chapter 34: The Murder of an Antique Collector (Part II)
"You mean, did I kill Mr. Denjiro?" Yuji Suwa said angrily.
"You'll know when you see the scene." Mori Kogoro said confidently, "The man who killed the man was a very powerful kendo master, and you happened to have practiced Japanese kendo, so you must be the murderer!" ”
Since Conan and the others judged that Suwa was a kendo master, Conan found an excuse and told Officer Twilight about it, and when Mori Kogoro learned about it, he immediately shouted.
"It was a misunderstanding!" Mr. Suwa shouted, "I only came to return the money to Mr. Denjiro, which is the five million yuan I borrowed from him." As he spoke, he pulled out two dozen bills from his pocket.
"Uh......" Mori Kogoro, who was embarrassed, was pushed away by Officer Twilight, "The murder happened between three and five o'clock, where are you at this time?" ”
"My words, I should be meditating alone in the martial arts hall!" Mr. Suwa thought for a moment and replied.
Hearing the word meditation, Asa Yu couldn't help but nodded.
"So, who can testify against you?" Officer Twilight said majestically.
"Uh...... No. ”
"Eh, I think it's a little weird!" Xiaolan suddenly spoke, "Look, the grip of that knife is reversed, right?" ”
"Finally discovered!" Asa Yu and Conan helped their foreheads at the same time.
"No......" Xiaolan's face flushed, "I've used kendo with Xinkan Charlotte before, so I have a demerit ......"
"So," said Officer Twilight, "someone deliberately made him hold the knife!" ”
"Do you want to blame Mr. Suwa?" Mori Kogoro also spoke.
"And, this room," Conan said, looking around, "no matter how much you slash each other, you won't cut the roof and walls, right?" ”
"Speaking of Charlotte and Kudo," Officer Twilight began, "has Ran been in contact with the two of them?" They seem to have disappeared lately! ”
"No......" Xiaolan's face darkened, "Shinichi hasn't called, and I don't know where they are." ”
"Well...... Officer Twilight was disappointed, "if only any of the two of them were here, they're Sherlock Holmes of the Heijo Era and Moriarty the Silent!" ”
"......" A string of black lines appeared on the head of the light feather.
Conan looked at Xiao Lan's gloomy face, and couldn't help but lower his head, where others couldn't see, clenched his fists, his nails sinking deep into the skin on his hands.
A warm hand patted him lightly on the shoulder, and Conan turned his head, a pair of amber eyes looking at him.
"Take care of her more." Asa Yu whispered, "You are different from me, I have nothing, you still have her." ”
"Hmm." Conan nodded and smiled, "It's okay, I see." Moreover, you don't have nothing, don't you still have your sister, Xiaolan and me? ”
"Heh......" Asa Yu chuckled.
"Then, next, let's solve this case!" Conan raised his head, his eyes bursting with confidence and dazzling brilliance again, and the setting sun shone on his face, gilding him with a brilliant layer of gold.
"So, what are you two doing here?" Officer Twilight looked back at Kogoro Mori and Makoto Akutsu.
"I ...... I have come to ask Mr. Denjiro to ask for an extension of the money that I have lent me. Makoto Akutsu bowed his head and said.
"I," said Kogoro Maori, smiling awkwardly, "I'm just here to report to Mr. Denjiro the result of his commission, and his wife's affair report......"
"My wife is having an affair!!!" The maids in the room collectively exclaimed.
"Idiot ......" by Asa Feather and Conan
"There will be detectives who will tell the content of their commission......" Conan was speechless.
"And what are you doing?" Officer Twilight asked the last person, Hatano Kiya.
"Me...... I ......" Dr. Hatano suddenly opened his mouth and stammered.
"Same taste." Asa Yu suddenly spoke. "Auntie, you smell exactly like that uncle!" Asaba said innocently.
"Hey!!" Everyone looked at the wife and the doctor.
"Thanks to your good nose." Conan chuckled, "It's a coincidence. ”
"yes!" Asa Feather glanced at Conan, "Otherwise, you can smell other people's smells with your nose everywhere!" Including Xiaolan's. ”
Conan smiled awkwardly.
"Forget it!" "There's no way to hide it now!" exclaimed. I admit it," she said, looking at Dr. Hatano who was sweating profusely, "Dr. Hatano is the object of my affair!" ”
"Ahh By surprised crowd
"But we are innocent!" Mrs. suddenly rushed up, "Because until five o'clock in the afternoon, we were all in the rice flower restaurant!" ”
"How do I know you two aren't colluding?" Kogoro Maori glanced at the two of them.
"What did you say!" Mrs. yelled.
"I'm Hatano, isn't Mr. Denjiro anymore? It's nerve-wracking, I'll visit at about five o'clock! A voice suddenly came from the phone, and everyone looked back to see that it was Conan and Asa Yu fiddling with the telephone.
"Why are you two again!" Maori Kogoro yelled.
"Forty-thirty-eight." A cold female voice came from the phone, and Asa Yu reached out and pressed the next one.
"I'm Suwa, and I'm scheduled to meet you at six o'clock, but I'd like to visit you sooner because it's about next month's entrance exam. The work has been arranged, and the details will be discussed in person. Suwa's voice came from the phone.
"Forty-four." Asa Yu said lightly.
"If it's a phone message, I'll have it too!" Mr. Akutsu shouted.
"Huh?" Officer Twilight looked at him.
"I said, although it will be a little late, I will definitely pay back the money! If you sell that, I'll slaughter you!" ”
"I'm going to drop him!" Officer Twilight was shocked when he heard this.
"No, I'm just scaring him." Akutsu hurriedly explained. "He said he would sell my collateral if I couldn't pay it back."
"Oh? So what is your collateral? Officer Twilight asked curiously.
"This is it!" Akutsu gestured to the shelf next to him. "It's the dragon!"
Conan looked at the swirling dragon on the severed shelf, and his heart moved, "No! ”
