Chapter 130: Knife Marks on the Cabinet

May 19, Sunday, evening, at Maru Fu House.

After listening to the two messages, after a while, still did not hear any more messages played, Mr. Ajiujin said: "It's strange, I obviously left a message, why is there no mine?"

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Oh, what did you say?"

Mr. Ajiujin said: "What I said is that although I will arrive later, I will definitely pay back the money, so if you sell that, I will definitely kill you."

"Kill it?" Mumu Police Department asked back.

"No, no," Mr. Ajiujin said quickly, "I just scare him." Then he explained, "He said, if I can't pay back the money, I will sell the sculptures I pledged as collateral. "

Meguro Police Department asked: "What kind of sculpture?"

Pointing to the cabinet in the reception room that was scratched with knife marks, Mr. Ajiujin said, "That's the dragon." Then he walked over, looked carefully, and said with a smile, "Great, there aren't any scar."

Looking at the three damaged ornaments next to him, Conan said: "Uncle, you are so lucky, the room has been chopped up in a mess, and only the sculpture is safe."

"Huh?" Looking around the reception room, none of the other furnishings were in good condition. Megure Police Department asked, "Mr. Ajiujin, what's your explanation for this?"

"You killed Mr. Marufu, and then tried to blame the crime on Mr. Suwa," Mouri said, "Unfortunately, you made two mistakes. The first is that you let the victim hold the knife in the wrong direction." Another point is that there are no scars left on the carvings of the dragon, even if you want to put blame on it, you can't let the carvings that are more important than life suffer any damage." Then he asked, "Is that so?"

"I don't know how to do swordsmanship," Mr. Akutsu asked. "How can I beat Mr. Marufu?"

Mao Li asked back: "As long as you stun him, isn't it easy for you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Akutsu called.

"So, why did you lie about leaving a message on the answering machine?" Megure asked.

Mr. Akutsu said: "I didn't lie, I called after three o'clock, and I really left a message."

"It's past three o'clock?" Mao Li said, "A phone call came in after three o'clock, but it was very strange." Then he explained, "The phone rang three times this afternoon, and the second and third phone rang According to the time, it should be Dr. Hatano and Mr. Suwa who called. But the first call after three o'clock rang a lot."

"I made that call." Mr. Ajiujin said immediately, "My phone rang for a long time, and then I got through, but it turned out to be the voice of the answering machine."

"Ah, that's how we set it up," Mrs. Rice explained. "Our home phone is set so that it will automatically switch to an answering machine after it rings more than a dozen times."

"By the way, you heard the phone ringing in this reception room, right at the scene of Mr. Fujiro Samaru." Mori asked, "That should be the time when the crime happened, so it doesn't mean that you are the murderer ?"

"You are talking nonsense. I called at home." Mr. Ajiujin said.

The Mumu Police Department said: "We will confirm this matter."

"Mr. Akutsu's collateral is a dragon carving,

Standing behind Maori, Yamazaki whispered, "Mr. Suwa..."

"By the way," Maori asked, "Mr. Suwa, what did you use as collateral? When you borrowed money, you should also have provided collateral, right?"

"..." Mr. Suwa replied, "A famous sword."

"Oh," Meguro Police Department asked, "so, where is this knife now? Is it in this reception room?"

Mr. Suwa said, "Not here."

"So, Mrs. Rice," Megure Police Department asked, "Where does Mr. Marufu Jiro usually keep these things? Can you take the famous sword and have a look."

"My husband's collection is usually kept in the vault." Mrs. Daozi said, "and the key is in the cabinet in the reception room." As she spoke, she walked to the front of the cabinet and opened a drawer. However, Daozi Madam immediately exclaimed, "Ah, it's gone, the key to the vault is gone."

"What?" Mumu Police Department asked back in surprise.

Quickly pulled up the other drawers on the cabinet, and after a while, Mrs. Rice exclaimed in surprise: "I found it."

The Mumu Police Department asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it's in another drawer." After closing the drawers one by one, Mrs. Rice turned around and said, "But, it's strange, my husband usually puts it there." Then she went to the vault accompanied by the police. .

These drawers, Conan thought, the knife marks on them are not coherent, these cabinets have been replaced by someone, so the room is full of knife marks in order to cover up the marks on the top, so the top should be There is a death message left, as long as it is restored, then we can know who the murderer is.

Thinking of this, Conan turned around and wanted to ask the maid if there was a camera that could take pictures, but just as he turned around, Yamazaki held him down.

Yamazaki asked, "What do you want to do again?"

"I'm going to borrow something." Conan said, and then asked in surprise, "No, you know the clue of the drawer. So you will remind Uncle Maori just now, did you reassemble the drawer and know that the murderer is him? "

"Although we haven't regrouped, but if we don't use other means and no one else has been here, he is the only one who can do it." Yamazaki said, "And you can ask Uncle Maori to spell it out first."

"Me?" Conan asked back.

"Could it be me?" Yamazaki laughed, "I'm too old to play this simple puzzle."

"Okay, okay," Conan said in a low voice when he walked behind Maori, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs

"Puzzle?" Looking at the incoherent traces on the cabinet, Maori said, "So..."

Seeing Maori walk to the front of the cabinet and observe the cabinet carefully, Mumu Police Department asked: "Maori, what are you..."

"Mumu Police Department, look at the marks on the drawer," Mao Li asked, "Can't you connect the marks on the drawer and the adjacent drawer?"

"Hmm..." Mumu Police Department exclaimed, "Really, if you say that..."

"Death message," Molly said with a smile, "Mr. Marufu must have left a death message on it, so the murderer messed up the position of the drawer, and the knife marks in this room should be to cover up this It came out of the unnaturalness of the cabinet."

"That's good," Mu Mu Police Department said with a smile, "When Mrs. Rice comes, ask her to put the drawer back."

After a while, seeing that Mrs. Rice still hadn't come, everyone came outside the reception room.

Seeing Mr. Suwa standing under a tree and walking behind him, Yamazaki said, "Hello."

Surprised, Suwa-san immediately looked back.

"Your mind is disturbed," said Yamazaki, "it's too late to turn yourself in now."

"What did you say?" Suwa-san asked.

"In the afternoon, meditate in the sword room. You are calming down after killing someone." Yamazaki said, "The calluses on your hands have grown again, and closing the knife will still hurt your hands. You can no longer control your heart. .”

"What did you say?" Suwa-san asked in surprise.

"There is a famous sword with a history, and the surname is Suwa. Your Suwa family has inherited the techniques of the Shin-Gage style, but it is just superficial. It can only be said that the history is long enough. As for the famous sword, Kikuchiyo with a long history can barely be considered Just one." Yamazaki said, "Using Kikuchiyo, which has been passed down from generation to generation, as collateral, no wonder you are upset, now that the knife is gone, no wonder you will kill people."

"You, you..." Mr. Suwa was startled speechless.

"Uncle Mori asked me to say the above," Yamazaki said with a smile, "He said that before the results of the investigation come out, you should surrender yourself."

"Detective Mao, Moori?" Mr. Suwa asked back.

"Yes," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Uncle Mori has seen through all your tricks. Mr. Marufu knew that he couldn't beat you, so he deliberately fought by the cabinet so that the knife could hit the cabinet. As long as there are two crosses, then He can process it again, and he can leave your hiragana. So in order to get rid of the crime, after killing Mr. Marufu, you heard the phone ring and heard Mr. Akutsu’s message, you deleted his message, and then closed the cabinet. When you reversed the drawers in the room, and left knife marks in the room to cover up the name on the cabinet, you left a carving of Mr. Akutsu, trying to blame him. And when you finally returned the knife, let Mr. Marufu take it instead. Alleviate suspicion."

"It seems that I have been completely seen through by Maori detectives," Mr. Suwa said with his head lowered. "My heart was really disturbed, so it took me ten knives to kill him. That's why I did so many extra things."

Yamazaki said: "Ms. Rice is back, it's time to make a decision."

"I've decided." Mr. Suwa said and walked towards Moori who was smoking under a tree. ...
