Chapter 26 Strange Knife Marks II(1/2)

Memaku picked up a notepad in front of the deceased, "Oh, here is the list of visitors who are coming every day." Memaku turned to the list of visitors today, "Let me take a look, the one who is coming today is Moori Kogoro.

, Suwa Yuuji, Hatanoya, ah Kutsu Makoto, are these four people?"

"Officer Memu, a suspicious man was found outside." A police officer came in from outside.

"What?" The police officer heard this and went out with a few people to see a police officer pulling a man wearing glasses: "This man has been lingering in front of this house."

"Ah, he is Dr. Hatano." Maru Inoko, the wife of the deceased, said in surprise as soon as she saw the man: "He is my husband's attending doctor. My husband invites him to see him every week."

Several police officers pulled over a suspicious man, who claimed to be the great artist Akutsu.

"Ho~~ I know, the murderer is Suwa Yuuji who hasn't appeared yet. Yes, he is the only one who has been here. Hehe..." Mouri Kogoro said his reasoning like a trick.

"Are you talking about me?" A man walked out of the darkness again, "I am Suwa, Suwa Yuuji. What happened, why is it so noisy. Um, little brother, what are you doing." Suwa lowered his head and found that Conan was making trouble.

The palm of his hand.

"Uncle, you should practice Japanese kendo again!" Conan opened Suwa's thumb and index finger. "Look, there is a thin scar between the thumb and index finger of uncle's left hand. This is when people who practice Japanese kendo put away their swords.

I would get injured by the knife, so I asked my uncle if he practiced Japanese kendo."

"Yes, I am practicing Japanese Kendo." Suwa said.

"Sure enough, you are the murderer." Mouri pointed at Suwa and loudly announced his verdict.

"Murderer? What are you talking about?" Suwa said blankly.

"Look at the scene and you will know everything." Kogoro brought a suspicious person to the scene of the murder, and once again saw the tragic death of Jiro Marufune.

"Ah, how could this happen?"

"Did you just doubt me?" Suwa realized that just now Mouri Xiaowu was saying that he was the murderer.

"You should have understood after watching the scene. The murderer is very good at using swords, and you are Suwa Yuuji." Maori Xiaowu reasoned ruthlessly, pointing to the knife marks all over the room, "You are the only Japanese here.

A master of swordsmanship."

"You're kidding me. I'm just here to repay Mr. Funajiro's money." Suwa took out a large pile of banknotes wrapped in an envelope from his arms: "Look, a total of five million is here."

"Ah, I'm here to repay the loan." Mouri Kogoro said at the end of his sentence. He pushed the useless Mouri away, "Then what were you doing at 3 o'clock when the crime happened."

"I was meditating in the martial arts hall at that time." Suwa thought for a moment and said. "Then is there anyone who can testify for you?" Memaku asked.

"No." Suwa said.

At this time, Xiaolan discovered that the knife in the deceased's hand was held backwards, which made new progress in the case.

"By the way! The murderer wanted to pass the blame on Mr. Suwa, who was practicing Japanese kendo, and then deliberately made knife marks in the house, but the criminal made the mistake of holding the knife backwards."

"Uncle, you are also suspicious." Ye said with half his head shrinking. He was very upset about Kogoro kicking him away without hesitation, and now it was time to take revenge.

"ah?"

"What Xiaoye said is right. Brother Maori, you are also one of the suspects at the scene." Officer Memaku remembered it after being reminded by Ye Ye, and it turned out that there were four suspects.

"No, I just reported to the victim what he entrusted me to investigate, which is the investigation report on his wife's cheating." Maori Xiaowuyi was excited, as if he said something that shouldn't be said.

"Ah, Madam cheated on her?" the maid said in surprise.

"Uncle, you are such an idiot, you actually revealed the entrusted task in front of the investigators." Ye spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, "It is really difficult to work with such a detective."

"..." Conan, Xiaolan, and Momo were all dumbfounded. You must be an idiot to say that in front of Kogoro.

"I'm the one who said that, kid. I can't work with a kid like you." Maoli was furious.

After this farce, I asked the other two people, but unfortunately they were all the same. They all said that they were not here at the time, but no one could prove it. In the end, no one was ruled out as a suspect.

"Well, I think I've smelled this somewhere before." When Ye passed Dr. Hatano, he asked because he had a familiar smell on his body.

Ye lay on the maid, sniff! Sniff! That's not right. Then he lay on Xiaolan, who was wearing a short skirt, and sniff! Sniff! That's not right either.

"It's not good of you to do this to Ye. It's very rude to lie on someone and smell her like this." Xiaolan blushed slightly and stopped Ye's bad behavior.

"Ah, I understand." Ye Gang agreed and trotted over to Marudozi, lay on her body and smelled it. "Well, this is the smell."

"Sister, the smell on your body is exactly the same as the smell on that uncle." Ye lay on her body and smelled it again, "This brand of perfume is so special, it looks like grilled high-quality steak." Ye looked intoxicated.

I sniffed it again, and it looked like my saliva was almost drooling.

"You kid, how could this be the smell of high-end steak? This is high-end perfume, high-end perfume!" Maru Inoko shouted hysterically, her face turning red.

When Mao Li heard what Ye said, he suddenly thought about it, "Are you the wife's affair partner?"

"Ah...ah..." Dr. Hatano wanted to explain but couldn't speak.

"Yes, Dr. Hatano is my affair partner." Ms. Maru Inoko on the other side admitted first and could no longer hide it. After saying that, she ran over and hugged Dr. Hatano's arm, "So we are innocent, because

We were at the Rice Krispies Restaurant from afternoon to evening."

"But this does not rule out your suspicion. What if you are colluding." Kogoro said sarcastically. "Uncle is right." Ye also helped, which made Kogoro discover the child.

It's quite cute, but the words that followed completely broke Ye Mo's image. "You are just like uncle now. Even if I testify for uncle, it's possible that uncle and I colluded. So I can't believe it."

....Dang! Dang!

Conan took advantage of Kogoro's beating at night, went to the answering machine, and pressed the button.

"I'm Hatano. Isn't Mr. Funjiro at home? It's troublesome. I will visit at five o'clock as promised. Four thirty-eight."

"I'm Suwa. I was originally scheduled to meet you at six o'clock. Now I want to visit you as soon as possible. The promotion exam for next month has been arranged. We will discuss the details when we meet. Four forty-one

.”

"I see, Hatano planned to come at 5 o'clock, and Suwa came before 6 o'clock because he wanted to come in advance." Officer Memaku listened to the two recordings, sorted out his thoughts and said.

"If that's the case, I also have a message. What I left is, if you want to sell that, I will kill you." Akutsu saw that there was no recording of himself, and immediately shouted anxiously. "Kill?" Memakuichi

I found this sensitive word when I heard it. "Ah, it's not that I just wanted to scare him. Because he said that if I still can't get the money, I will sell the sculptures I mortgaged." Akutsu said nervously,

The voice I was yelling at just now was lowered...

"What kind of carving is that?" Memaku began to ask in detail, "Ah, it's a dragon-shaped carving. You see, that's the one." Akutsu pointed to the dragon-shaped carving on the table next to him and said, "Ah, it's really good.

Yes, there aren’t any scars.”

"But uncle, you are so lucky. There are scars everywhere in the house, but nothing happened to your carvings." Conan said in an innocent and clear childish voice.

"I understand, the murderer is you, Mr. Akutsu." Kogoro said seriously: "After you killed Funajiro, you thought of putting the blame on Mr. Suwa. But you were nervous and made two mistakes.

One is that the deceased held the knife upside down, and the other is that your important carvings don’t have any scratches. Huh, even if you kill someone, you won’t let your carvings get hurt, right?”

"What are you talking about?" Akutsu resisted weakly.

"Then why did you lie about leaving a message on the answering machine?" Maku also questioned at this time.

"I didn't lie, I really left a message." Akutsu struggled helplessly.

This is strange. If he is the murderer, why would he tell lies that will be exposed immediately? But there is no message from him on the answering machine... Wait, let's put it this way, there is only one person left.

Strange message, saying that the murderer is that person...

"Madam, is the treasury here with you?" Memaku looked at Maru Inoko and said.

"Ah, in the cabinet right here." Marunoko said and walked to the many cabinets that had been scratched by knives. These cabinets were like cabinets for medicine in ancient pharmacies. All cabinets were fixed on a large wooden

On the shelf. "Ah, what if it disappeared."

"Sure enough, you are the murderer." Maori grabbed Akutsu's collar.

"Ah, I found it and put it in another drawer." Marudoko said sheepishly, holding the key in her hand.

"Ah?" Kogoro and Memaku were completely defeated.

"But it's strange. I clearly remember it being in this cabinet, but why is it in another cabinet?" Marunoko closed the cabinet very strangely.

Ah! Is this, that incongruous mark, a knife mark? What did Conan think of when he looked at that strange mark. Just when Conan was about to take the next step, Ye suddenly said:

"Uncle, these cabinets seem to have been changed. Is there something hidden there?" Ye's childish voice came out, perfectly attracting everyone's attention, "Look here, here, and here, they are all in the drawers

It was there, but it suddenly stopped when it came to the cabinet." Ye pointed to some strange drawers and said. "If you change this to here, and this to here..." Ye finished changing all the drawers. "Present

What is in front of us is... "Ye jumped down, looking at the two strange words." What appeared were two unfamiliar words! "Ye was a little embarrassed, forgetting that he didn't know the katakana.

Memaku and Kogoro ignored Ye's cold joke, but stared in surprise at the two strange characters written with knife marks. "Suwa? Is the murderer Suwa?"

"But why?" Mumu didn't understand.

Conan was also very shocked now. Looking at the indifferent Ye, this kid unexpectedly got out in front of me... Damn it, I have to take action. I took out a watch-type anesthesia gun, anesthetized Mouri Kogoro, and then hid in

Behind the fainted Kogoro, he said in Kogoro's voice: "I've known it for a long time, let me tell you now." Conan regained some of the scene first, and then continued: "The real reason why there will be these knife marks in the room is

The reason is to cover up the scars on the cabinet, which are the scars with the word "Suwa" carved into them. I think it was Suwa rummaging for something, and Mr. Funajiro said he couldn't stop carving them. When Mr. Suwa found out, he made them

The cabinets were exchanged, and the room was filled with scratches. The wrong knife and the dragon-shaped carving without any scratches were also meant to confuse our sight. What I said is right, Mr. Suwa."

"That's right." Suwa admitted generously.

"Then why are you doing this?" Memaku asked.

"For the knife."

"Knife? Is it the knife in the victim's hand?"

Suwa looked at the samurai sword and said disdainfully: "Humph, that piece of scrap metal is nothing. What I said was used as collateral, the famous sword Kikuchiyo passed down from generation to generation in our family." At this time Suwa said.
