Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Visitors
"Brother Kudo! How's it going this weekend? Exciting, right? Listening to Takagi, there was a murder in the party villa where you played? Or is it a serious case of mutilation? ”
"No kidding, Dusk Police! I'm going to be tortured to death! If it weren't for Uncle Maori saying he couldn't leave because he had a job, I wouldn't have gone to this muddy water! Now let's search for a lesson, who doesn't know the name of the Grim Reaper duo, how could I take the initiative to get involved and be the third person! Putting down the paintbrush in his hand, Yuichi, who was sitting on the desk but relied on his police department to make up for his identity and not do his job as a comic, hurriedly complained to his boss Mudu Police Department.
"Humph! Everyone just talks about it privately, you really take it seriously! Death? If there is such a thing, prove it to me! Today, if there is a murder, as long as it has something to do with the Maori brother and his child, I will invite everyone to have dinner together in the evening! If not, Brother Kudo? Do you have to be funny too? I heard that Matsumoto Police is already paying attention to you, and when your internship period is over, maybe you will be promoted to become a police department like my brother and me! ”
"Good! The Twilight Police Department is bold enough! How about changing this condition? If a murder happens, we all try to solve it! After the case is solved, how about the Twilight Police Department invite guests to celebrate again? If Officer Kudo loses, we'll slaughter him when he gets promoted! The case of the Maori detective is still too ethereal! Hearing all the search lessons of Twilight's bets, the officers all shouted loudly.
However, after hearing the words of the Twilight Police Department, which was obviously the flag, Yuichi couldn't help but smile and glanced at him strangely before pretending to sigh helplessly, "Originally, I was going to visit Suzuki's house today to see the situation of Miss Ayako and Miss Sonoko!" After all, I encountered such a bloody case, but since the Twilight Police Department wants to let blood and invite everyone to dinner, I can't refuse the kindness of the Twilight Police Department! I played this bet! I hope the Twilight Police Department doesn't regret it! ”
"Well, gentleman's words, horses are hard to chase! Everyone is busy with their own work, maybe there won't be a murder today! Hahaha! What a great day! When it's time to eat, everyone brings their families! Brother Kudo made a lot of money drawing comics, so let's go fight the local tyrants! ”
However, just as the Dusk Police Department was excitedly planning where to go for dinner in the evening, an abrupt call rang.
"What? Is there a murder in the Maru's family in Rice Flower Town? Informant...... Mori Kogoro? ”
"Strange? No, no, no! Not surprising! Mr. Maori! We've received your report! The police will arrive immediately! Be sure to protect the crime scene! ”
As the police officer who answered the phone looked at the Twilight Police Department, who was already standing in place and completely stunned, the police subconsciously set their eyes on the Twilight Police Department after hearing the search lesson of this report through the hands-free.
"Poof, hahaha! What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and call the police! After the investigation is over, we still have to go to dinner! Yuichi, who finally put down his paintbrush and packed up his manuscript, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then the whole search lesson was cheered lively, and everyone quickly packed up their things and ran towards the Metropolitan Police Department parking lot.
"The deceased, Marudenjiro, 51 years old, was the president of the Marushi Group, and the time of death can probably be determined to be between 3 and 4 o'clock. The cause of death was due to a katana stabbed through the chest, killing with a single blow. Judging from the mess in the house, the scar scars, and the knife wounds on the deceased's body, the deceased should have been killed after a fierce battle with the murderer. ”
"Really? But why are there katanas? Could it be that Mr. Maru is a kendo enthusiast? Listening to Takagi's loud report from the forensic department, the Twilight Police Department, who was standing at the scene of the crime, glanced at Marudenjiro, who was nailed to the wall and holding a knife, and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes! My husband was very interested in kendo, and I remember that he was a master of the third dan of kendo! ”
"Oh? That's pretty impressive, who are you? ”
"Oh! My name is Maruinako! Be the mistress of this house! ”
"It turned out to be Mrs. Inako, so do you know that Mr. Marudenjiro had any kendo master friends when he was alive? Or an enemy! ”
"Well, I'm sorry! I've always been a no-brainer about my husband's business! ”
"I see? Excuse me! Maori dude! You arrived at the scene before the crime, did you see any suspicious characters? After finishing the questioning of Maruinako on the side, the Twilight Police Department, who was full of anger, immediately locked their eyes on this bastard who had ruined his fortune.
"Huh? Suspicious people? This one...... At that time, Mr. Maru told me to stay in the room and wait for him, so I ...... Hey! ”
"Humph! Haven't you been very popular lately? The detective who has solved so many cases is so alert, and his sense of smell is also paralyzed and careless, and he always recruits people to go to heaven, saying that you are the god of death! The whole thing is a disaster! ”
"Dusk Police! What you said, I was also summoned by the case! How can I say that I am the Grim Reaper? At this time, don't joke, it's important to handle the case! Hahaha! ”
"I hope it's a joke, too!" Looking at Maori Kogoro, who was smiling and laughing with himself, the Twilight Police Department, who had finished spilling resentment in his stomach, didn't say anything anymore, turned around and continued to look around.
"Dusk Police Department, I saw a suspicious visitor! At about three o'clock, Mr. Maru left Uncle Mori alone in the main house because a guest came, and went to enter the visiting guest into a private room next to it, and Mr. Maru never came out again for the next two hours! ”
"Oh? Is it? Strange visitor? Did you see what he looked like? Looking at the cute little ghost with big eyes blinking in front of him, thinking of Yuichi's complaint, the corners of the Dusk Police Department's mouth twitched, but he still endured his resentment and squeezed out a smile and asked.
"Not really! Because there was a forest between the main house and the detached house, I only saw the visitor's feet and didn't see his face! ”
"Oh? Is it? Okay, thank you, Conan, since the clue has been provided, you can go and play! Don't get in the way of your uncles, you know? Seeing that Conan couldn't provide any clues, the Twilight Police Department shoved him into Xiaolan's arms with his back collar and turned to set his eyes on his Hope Yuichi.
"Yuichi, did you find anything?"
"Hmmm! There's a clue! We found this notepad in the arms of the deceased, which showed the deceased's daily arrangements for his own itinerary, and from the notepad, the deceased had four people to receive today, namely Mori Kogoro, Suwa Yuji, Hatano Kiya and Akutsu Makoto. The other three are not present at the moment, except for Mori Kogoro, so I think they should be summoned! You might find out! ”
"Oh? Is it? It's really worthy of Brother Youyi! I'll immediately arrange for someone to summon them, and you continue to investigate the scene first!" ”
"Yes! Twilight Police Department! However, just as Yuichi sent the Twilight Police Department to turn around and investigate the scene again, a policeman who was maintaining the scene outside walked in with a man wearing glasses, a suit and a leather suit, and carrying a briefcase.
"Report to the Dusk Police Department, this person is sneaky at the door, and his appearance is suspicious, I see that he has a ghost in his heart, so I brought him in first!"
