Chapter 549 Sonoko is a swordsman genius

Under Oki Iwamatsu's photo, the five people in the photos are Mio Tokiwa, Tomomi Sawaguchi, Yoshiaki Hara, Minesui Kisaragi, and Hidehiko Kazama.

Officer Memu nodded slightly and said, "That's right! Because the building where Mr. Oki lives has not been officially put into use, the murderer should be the person who was at the scene at the time and knew that Mr. Oki would live in the suite in Building B."

If it hadn't been for Mouri Kogoro and the others who had returned to Tokyo long ago, they would have definitely been included as suspects.

"Shot glass...I understand!"

Mouri Kogoro stared at the photos of the five people for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and said: "The small wine glass means chocolate, so the murderer is Hara Jiaming who likes to eat chocolate!"

Suzuki Seimei secretly complained: "Very good! Successfully eliminated one wrong answer."

According to Ke Xue's law, the suspects identified by Kogoro Mouri as the murderer are basically innocent.

Officer Memu said: "Brother Maori, Mr. Yuan should be innocent. We have already summoned five of them, and only Mr. Yuan has an alibi."

"Alibi?"

Mouri Kogoro twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly: "Officer Megure, you are serious, why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing earlier?"

Even if Mouri Kogoro is thick-skinned, the feeling of being slapped on the spot is still uncomfortable!

Conan looked curious and asked: "Officer Megure, what was the murderer's motive?"

"The murderer's motive is still under investigation, but according to the information we have investigated so far, although Mr. Oki is only a council member, he seems to have greater power than the mayor and has made many enemies."

Officer Megure was halfway through his words, and then said: "For example, the twin-tower skyscraper that is about to open was driven by Mr. Oki, who forcibly changed the municipal bill that originally did not allow the establishment of high-rise buildings."

"It turns out that's why Miss Mio couldn't refuse Mr. Oki's offer to move in before the opening."

Hearing Mao Lilan's words, Conan suddenly said: "Come to think of it, the brooch Miss Mio is wearing seems to be somewhat similar to this small wine glass~"

"impossible!"

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he retorted without thinking: "It can't be Mio!"

"No! In fact, in terms of crime success rate, Miss Mio is the most suspected criminal."

Officer Megure shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Because the suite on the 68th floor where Miss Mio stayed that night was directly above the suite on the 67th floor where Mr. Oki lived, so she had enough time to commit the crime."

"..."

Mouri Kogoro's expression changed slightly and he fell into silence.

Although Mouri Kogoro still believed in his heart that Mio Tokiwa could not be the murderer, from the perspective of the police and detectives, her suspicion was indeed very high.

Suzuki Seimei touched her chin and thought to herself: "She shouldn't be the murderer."

With Mio Tokiwa's status, even if she really wanted to kill someone, there was no need to do it herself.

After all, Mio Tokiwa is the chairman of the Tokiwa Group, and a chaebol power like this with a market value of over one trillion yen must be both black and white.

If Mio Tokiwa really wanted to kill Oki Iwamatsu, she could have hired a professional killer to kill him, and she wouldn't have let him die in the skyscraper that was about to open. Isn't this asking for bad luck?

Therefore, in Suzuki Seimei's mind, he had secretly eliminated Mio Tokiwa's suspicion.

"Huh?"

After staring at the small wine glass in the evidence bag for a while, Suzuki Seimei suddenly said in surprise: "This small wine glass is quite similar to the mortar."

"Qingming, what is the mortar?"

When Yuantai and the others heard this, their faces were full of doubts.

Suzuki Seimei explained: "The pigments of island traditional paintings are mainly made of mineral or plant matter powder mixed with glue, so a bowl-shaped vessel is often needed for grinding. That vessel is called a mortar.

"

"Wait a moment!"

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help shouting: "If I remember correctly, Mio's art teacher Mr. Kisaragi Minesui should be a national treasure-level master of island painting, right?"

"That's right! It seems that this small wine glass can also be related to Mr. Kisaragi."

Officer Megure thought for a while and said, "But judging from the small wine glass, it doesn't seem to have any obvious connection with Mr. Hidehiko Kazama and Ms. Tomomi Sawaguchi."

"Sonoko, what is this? A wooden knife?"

Mao Lilan was not very interested in solving the case. She looked around and finally landed on the two short knives stuck in Yuanzi's waist.

Facing Mao Lilan's curious gaze, Yuanzi smiled and said: "Xiaolan, I am actually practicing swordsmanship recently, and I am still practicing the double-sword style. These two wooden swords are my weapons."

Although Suzuki Shiro had already used titanium alloy to help Sonoko build two daggers suitable for performing the "Breath of Sound" sword move, these titanium alloy daggers were not suitable for carrying around.

Therefore, Suzuki Shiro had people use purple sandalwood to help Sonoko make two short knives of the same style so that she could carry them with her.

Purple sandalwood is one of the hardest woods in the world. A short knife polished from it is not only very beautiful, but also has good attack power.

Moreover, in a relatively peaceful modern society, daggers made of titanium alloy are actually not as practical as daggers made of purple sandalwood.

Judging from Sonoko's character, even if she does encounter bad guys, she cannot directly chop them to death. It would be more appropriate to knock them unconscious with a wooden knife.

"Really?"

When Mao Lilan heard what Yuanzi said, she was slightly startled at first, and then said excitedly: "Yuanzi, are you really learning swordsmanship? How are you doing?"

"The swordsman who taught me said that I am very talented in swordsmanship and that it won't be long before I can become a swordsman."

In order to facilitate the use of swordsmanship in front of Mao Lilan in the future, Yuanzi deliberately created a persona for himself as a swordsman genius.

Looking at Yuanzi's rather proud expression, Mao Lilan smiled and cooperated: "Then after you leave the army, you can protect me~"

Yuanzi put his arm around Mao Lilan's shoulders, smiled and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! Leave those bad guys to me from now on."

"Haha~"

Hearing the conversation between Yuanzi and Mao Lilan, Conan smiled disdainfully.

Anyway, Conan would not believe that Yuanzi could surpass Mao Lilan in strength, unless he was dreaming.

But what Conan doesn't know is that Sonoko, who has mastered the perfect "Breath of Sound", has already surpassed the range that ordinary people can imagine, and the current Mao Lilan is really no match for her.
