"I see." After listening to the message, Officer Twilight turned to look at the two of them, "I was scheduled to see Dr. Hatano at five o'clock, and Mr. Suwa was originally scheduled to be six o'clock, and he called to say that he would arrive a little earlier, so he would show up at five o'clock." ”

"yes."

Yuji Suwa. Xia Qiu looked at each other, it was clear that the murderer was this person, but he was very calm, and now there was even his alibi, which was really interesting.

"If it's an answering machine, I also have a message." Seeing this, Akutsu Castle hurriedly said.

"Is it true?"

Officer Twilight asked, as his message wasn't playing on the answering machine.

"Of course it's true." Akutsu said: "I said, although it will be a little late, I will definitely pay back the money." So if you sell that, I'll slaughter you! ”

"I'm going to kill him."

Officer Twilight's eyes changed, and his words really gave people too much suspicion and motive for killing.

"No, it's not." Akutsu Castle hurriedly said, "I'm just scaring him." He said that if I could not repay the money, I would sell the carvings that I had taken as collateral. ”

"What kind of carving is it?"

Officer Twilight asked.

"It's the dragon."

Akutsu Castle looked at it for a moment, then pointed to the dragon-shaped carving on the cabinet on the right.

"Huh?"

Xia Qiu's eyes moved and looked over. The carving is really good, and the shape is not the kind of big lizard with the wings of a dinosaur, and it is an oriental dragon.

But the strange thing is that there are many works of art on that cabinet, but they are all scattered, except for the dragon, which has no traces on its body and is still intact.

"Great, there's nothing arrogant." Seeing his own intact carving, Akutsu Castle walked over. That look was similar to looking at his own son.

"Uncle, you're so lucky."

At this time, Conan said beside him. Akutsu Castle was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Conan.

"The room was a mess, and only the carving was fine." Conan said innocently.

"I see, I see." Hearing the prompt, Mori Kogoro made the appearance of a detective again and said, "Mr. Akutsu, the prisoner is you." ”

"What did you say?"

Akutsu clenched his fists, a little angry. This is the natural reaction of a person when he is framed.

"You killed Mr. Denjiro, and then blamed Mr. Suwa for your sin." Mori Kogoro said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, but you made two mistakes. The first is that you have the victim hold the knife in the opposite direction, and the other is that there are no scars on the dragon carving. ”

"Even if you kill someone, you can't let the carving, which is more important than your life, suffer any damage, right?" Kogoro Mori said it very seriously, as if that was the truth of the case.

"What are you talking about?" Later, Officer Twilight then asked, "Then why did you lie and say that you left a message on the answering machine?" ”

"I'm not lying, I really have a message." Akutsu said: "And I'm just a sculptor, I've never learned kendo, how could I kill him?" "Beans Literature Network

"This ......"

Officer Twilight was speechless for a while, and what he said was right. The victim apparently died on the body of the man who knew how to start the sword, and it seems that it has nothing to do with a sculptor.

"Then you must have killed him while he wasn't looking." At this time, Mori Kogoro said beside him, "And, although you are a sculptor, you are also a sculptor." ”

"How so? That's too far-fetched! Akutsu argued.

"That's right, there's no way he's going to kill. Uncle Kogoro Maori, there is no evidence, only based on speculation, so it's better not to say such a boring reasoning. ”

At this time, Xia Qiu spoke.

"What did you say?"

Maori Kogoro looked at him, a little unhappy, and everyone's eyes also looked over.

"If it were me, it would be nice to take that carving away after the killing. If only one is suspicious, it would be nice to take some of the other things as well. ”

"And the stuff here is valuable, isn't it? If the murderer was really him, how could he have put so many valuable things away and destroy them? ”

Xia Qiu said to herself, her words were clear and orderly. Obviously more convincing than what Kogoro Mori said. Conan was the same, looking at Xia Qiu in surprise inwardly, because he had never thought of it that way.

"However, it is also possible that after he killed someone, he panicked and didn't have time to think so much." Maori Kogoro said, but the reasons for the rebuttal were a little false and untenable.

"Equally impossible." Xia Qiu said: "If he is really panicked, what traces should he leave behind, at least fingerprints are essential." But there are none of these on the scene. ”

And the scratches in the room were enough to show that he had enough time to deal with the scene. And how can you panic? But he destroyed all the valuable things here, leaving only the wood carving, why? ”

The answer is simple. Because he wasn't short of money, he turned a blind eye to everything that was here, but he deliberately left the wood carving and made the wrong gesture of holding the knife, just to frame him, am I right, Officer Twilight? ”

"That's right!" Officer Twilight said, "The murderer did have plenty of time to tidy up the scene, and if the murderer was Mr. Akutsu, it would be impossible to leave such a big flaw." ”

"Madam, can you see if there are any valuables missing in this room?" After saying that, Officer Twilight looked at Ms. Maruina again.

"I'm sure the key to the vault is in the cupboard." Ms. Marudao said, stepped forward and opened it to take a look, shocked, "It's gone!" The key to the vault is missing. ”

"Nani?"

Officer Twilight was taken aback, and so was Akutsu Castle, this result was not very friendly to him, Xia Qiu frowned, puzzled.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Mori Kogoro stepped forward and grabbed the other party's collar with both hands.

But then...

"Allah, I found it, and put it in another drawer." Ms. Maruina opened another drawer and found the key to the vault.

"Too much, too ......"

Officer Twilight was speechless about this situation. Kogoro Mori was embarrassed and got it wrong again. Akutsu Castle breathed a sigh of relief and made a false alarm, but it was a little too dramatic.

And looking at that cabinet, Xia Qiu's mind instantly flashed with inspiration, and everything was figured out. At the same time, the appearance of the cabinet seemed to be imprinted in his brain, as if the mode of data tennis had been activated.

Finally, as the drawers move back and forth, a pattern is finally formed.

The truth is there!
