After investigating the corpse, Qin Zhibo began to investigate other investigation points.
On the huge chest of drawers, a dragon-shaped carving shows an investigation point.
【Survey√】
[There is no knife mark on the body of the dragon-shaped carving. Is it luck? Or is it intentional? 】
The investigation showed that the facts were not very accurate, but Qin Zhibo still had some impressions of this dragon-shaped carving.
Just now Akutsu Makoto said that he had mortgaged a sculpture, and Akutsu Makoto's father was good at carving dragon and tiger-shaped sculptures.
Could it be...
At this time, Akutsu Makoto's eyes also fell on the dragon-shaped carving on the chest of drawers.
"That's great! There aren't any scars."
Akutsu Makoto lived up to his name. He walked up to the sculpture very matter-of-factly and looked at the work of art with a smile on his face. However, this also attracted the attention of Conan next to him.
The other ornaments on the cabinet have been chopped into pieces, so why is this carving still intact?
With this discovery, Conan first glanced at Qin Zhibo next to him.
Seeing that Qin Zhibo had no intention of speaking out, he had no choice but to speak out in person.
But change your tone.
"Ah?"
"Uncle's luck is really good. The room was chopped into a mess, but this carving is the only one that is intact."
Conan's innocent voice seemed to awaken the dormant intelligence in Mouri Kogoro's brain, and Moori Kogoro's face immediately showed the same confident smile as a high school detective.
"Hmph..."
"I see, I completely understand..."
"Mr. Akutsu, you are the culprit."
"And the proof is that there are no scars on your most beloved dragon-shaped carving!"
With the help of Conan, Mouri Kogoro pointed his finger at Akutsu Makoto.
Faced with Detective Mori's identification and Officer Megure's scrutinizing gaze, Akutsu Makoto instinctively shook his head and defended: "I didn't kill anyone!"
...
At this time, Qin Zhibo did not pay attention to Maoli's side, but turned his attention to the third investigation point, which was also the last investigation point that landed on the chest of drawers.
【Survey√】
[Some of the knife marks on the chest of drawers are obviously different from the knife marks in other places in the room]
[Investigation completed]
[Replay of the scene begins]
In the room, a series of actions performed by "Little Black" during the crime were replayed.
Qin Zhibo stood aside carefully and observed "Xiao Hei"'s movements, and discovered something suspicious.
"Xiao Hei" did not chop the room full of scars during the fight, but hacked randomly and even deliberately chopped the ceiling.
Moreover, after "Xiao Hei" finished chopping, he walked to the chest of drawers and arranged to disrupt all the drawers.
This is...
After the reenactment of the scene was over, Qin Zhibo began to play back the contents of the reenactment, took out Kudo Shinichi's handkerchief, and restored the drawers one by one according to "Xiao Hei's" movements.
...
Mouri Kogoro is still arguing with Akutsu Makoto.
"It was you who killed Mr. Maruden, and then in order to blame the kendo master Mr. Suwa, you left the room full of knife marks. It looked like a fierce fight between two kendo masters."
"But you made two mistakes!"
"First, you are reluctant to harm a sculpture that is more important than your own life!"
"Also, you are an amateur at swordsmanship. When you held the knife in the deceased's hand, you turned your front and back hands backwards!"
Mouri Kogoro confidently stated his reasoning, selectively ignoring what he just discovered after Conan prompted him, that is, no one would leave traces of a fight on the ceiling.
No matter how stupid Mr. Akutsu is, he shouldn't be able to discover this, right?
Conan rolled his eyes at Mouri Kogoro, but other than that, Conan could not find any other loopholes in Mouri Kogoro's reasoning for the time being.
At this time, Conan thought of the most classic solution to the three-choice problem, the elimination method.
Besides Akutsu, the other two options are Dr. Hatano and Mr. Suwa.
Dr. Hatano has a weak character, and even though his family is dead, he dare not take the initiative to admit that he and his wife had an affair to dispel the police's suspicion of him.
Would such a person dare to kill someone?
Mr. Suwa seems to be hiding his secrets. He is also a master of swordsmanship and has the ability to kill the dead easily.
But he should not be able to make sword-holding mistakes that only amateurs of kendo would make.
But what if he just wants to use this method to remove his suspicion?
Conan's brain was in a mess, and he always felt that he was missing something crucial to understand the truth behind this case.
That key thing will be accompanied by a lightning bolt in the brain.
Yes! It was a flash of inspiration!
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but that one percent inspiration is particularly important.
This sentence is especially accurate when it comes to Conan.
At this time, Conan knew that he was in a bottleneck and needed a "lightning" to stimulate his brain.
Just when Conan turned his perspective to look for "Lightning", he finally noticed Qin Zhibo playing with the chest of drawers in the corner of the room.
Qin Zhibo pulled out the drawers one by one and then seemed to put them back in a certain order.
Every time he took out a few, Qin Zhibo took two steps back to look at the entire chest of drawers.
After Qin Zhibo restored all the drawers, Conan's "Lightning" also arrived.
Click!
This is!
Conan stared at the chest of drawers. Not only that, Maoli and others next to him also noticed the "career" Qin Zhibo had completed quietly.
At this time, not only did Conan's brain "lighten", but anyone who could read at the scene also had an intracranial orgasm.
Click! Click! Click!
Because there is a big fake name engraved on the chest of drawers.
すわ...
Suwa!
After everyone confirmed that the twisted mark that was obviously different from the sharp knife marks around him was engraved with the word "Suwa", they all turned their attention to Suwa Yuuji.
And Suwa Yuuji never expected that the trick he was secretly congratulating himself on acquitting himself just now would soon be completely believed by the police and the recently famous detective.
The next moment, the thing that worried me most happened quietly.
Is this going from heaven to hell?
That chest of drawers was the posthumous message that Marudenjiro tried his best to engrave before his death. At that time, Suwa Yuuji was listening to the phone recording of Akutsu Makoto who happened to call.
By the time Suwa Yuuji, who had forgotten the last touch, looked back, it was too late.
But Yuji Suwa had an idea and devised a whole set of tricks in a short time to get rid of suspicion.
But he didn't expect that his ruse would be solved quietly by another detective who appeared out of nowhere.
If I had known this, I might as well have burned it all!
I hate that I chose to mortgage the famous family sword to an unscrupulous businessman because I was short of money.
I hate myself for not finishing the kill in time.
I hate myself for not setting fire to everything cleanly and leaving clues for future generations to reason.
All kinds of regrets were entangled in his heart, so Suwa Yuuji suddenly turned around and grabbed the decorative knife that the Tome forensic officer had just broken off from the corpse.
He drew his sword and chopped in one go, and the target of the attack was directly at Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo was also very surprised when he saw Suwa Yuuji suddenly violent, but the next moment, his body also reacted.
I saw Qin Zhibo raise his hands upward, and his palms suddenly closed at a certain moment, just in time to tightly clamp Suwa Yuuji's falling blade.
