Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 71
The doctor Hatano and the sculptor Akutsu next to him nodded their heads, but in the middle of the click, they suddenly found that everyone was looking at them, and immediately realized, "What do you mean! I don't know that Suwa!"

"Hmm..." Without conclusive evidence, Mu Mu certainly wouldn't directly say that the two of them are the murderers, but his eyes clearly expressed his meaning, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the purpose of the visit first."

The two stared blankly at each other for a moment, and Ajiujin spoke first, "I borrowed 900 million from Mr. Maru, but I couldn't pay it for a while. Today I came to ask him for a few days of grace."

With these words, the suspicion of this person suddenly increased by countless points. Mori Kogoro saw that his eyes were not right, so he gave up chasing Suwa and ran over to ask Akutsu, "Between three to five o'clock when the murder happened Where are you?"

"At that time, I was sculpting alone in the studio..." Ajiujin also realized the problem, sweating, and he raised his hand to wipe it off.

Dr. Hatano was also very nervous for some reason. After Ajiujin finished speaking, he also hurriedly said, "I, I am here today to give a routine examination to Mr. Maru who is suffering from diabetes."

He moaned and chirped for a long time, but he never said where he was from three to five o'clock.

Bai Shu knew it very well, he had met this man in the morning - this is the man in the photo he took, wearing a hat and collar, covering himself tightly, and also Maru Rice's lover.

I have to say, from the point of view that Mori Kogoro has not recognized him until now, these disguises really work.

At this time, Conan raised his nose and sniffed behind Hatano. He seemed to smell something. After frowning for a while, he began to scurry around, sniffing around, and when he passed by Bai Shu, he held him down. , "What are you doing?"

"This doctor smells like women's perfume." Conan did not shy away from him, and analyzed in a low voice, "Before he came here, he probably had close contact with women."

... This sense of smell is really good. Although up to now, Conan still doesn't know that Hatano is Maruroko's lover, but if he continues to smell it, he will probably know it soon.

Compared with the murder case, the cheating incident can only be regarded as a small episode, there is no need to waste time here, and...

"Don't let this brat speak out! I'm fucking ashamed!", Maruden Jiro howled bravely.

Being green is one thing, being green and being publicized is another.

He didn't want to run to reincarnation wearing a green light!

Bai Shu was speechless for a moment, feeling that his little self-deceiving wish could be satisfied, so he tried to divert Conan's attention, "This is not the point, look at the cabinet over there..."

He pointed to a close-to-square vertical cabinet by the wall. The cabinet was composed of small 4x5 drawers. The surface of the cabinet was scratched like the rest of the room.

When Conan heard that he didn't pretend to be stupid, he was surprised and immediately looked at the cabinet carefully. After a while, his eyes widened: most of the things on the cabinet were chopped to pieces, but there was a sculpture in the shape of a coiled dragon that was in good condition. put it on top, unharmed.

... Even a fool can see that there is a problem.

At this time, the Mumu police department and Ajiujin just started to quarrel.

The reason is that Meguro asked, why did the three of them come to Maruden Jiro's house at the same time when the time agreed by the three of them was clearly different, and the three of them had their own excuses, saying that they had left messages on the answering machine.

But when I listened to the message, there were only two messages, one was "beep——I'm Hatano, isn't Mr. Maru at home?... Well, that's what I said before, I'll be there around five o'clock, wait See you later. Beep - it's 4:38"

The other one is "Beep——I'm Suwa. I originally made an appointment at 6 o'clock, but I want to visit early so that I can go home early and prepare for the kendo upgrade appraisal next month. See you later. Beep— —It's 4:41."

But I played it back and forth several times, but I didn’t hear Ajiujin’s message, but Ajiujin insisted that he recorded it and repeated the content, "I really didn’t lie! What I said at the time was 'I will be late, I will I will definitely pay it back, but if you dare to sell my collateral, I will never be polite!'”

"You're not polite?" Meguro and Mori Kogoro felt more and more suspicious of him.

Ajiujin suddenly panicked, "No, I just wanted to scare him. After all, he has a record of selling collateral indiscriminately... My collateral is my master's masterpiece, which is very important to me."

Hearing this, Conan's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the only intact sculpted dragon on the cabinet. He opened his mouth and was about to yell, Uncle, why is it that your things are intact, and finally made a gasp, Leng Buding was covered by Bai Shu from behind.

"No, no, that's not the point." Bai Shu blushed, thinking that your Uncle Mao Li had been misled in the first place. If you add such a fire, even if the case is solved, the prestige of the famous detective will easily increase. Discounted.

He held Conan's head and pressed it down slightly, letting his gaze drop to the cabinet, "Look at those scratches, don't you think something is wrong?"

Conan was still trying to grab his hand, but when he heard this sentence, he stopped immediately and looked at the cabinet again.

After turning my attention away from the overly conspicuous sculpture, I realized something was wrong.

Compared with other places, the scratches on the cabinet are particularly dense, and they are deep and shallow. Some of them are particularly deep, and they are a bit intermittent: many places are staggered when they reach the edge of the drawer.

Seeing that Conan was finally no longer obsessed with that sculpture, Shiraki withdrew his hand, pretending nothing happened and asked Maru Inako, "Ms. Maru, are there any valuables lost here? In case the murderer takes something indiscriminately, I can just search for it." Come out as evidence."

"oh oh.".It was only now that Marunane remembered this, she hurriedly looked for the key to the safe, but when she opened the drawer she was startled, "The key is gone!"

"What?!", Mumu Police Department was startled, glanced at Bai Shu, and thought with relief that this junior was indeed more capable than Mori Kogoro.

He was about to send his subordinates to search for the lost items, but when he heard Maruinako open several drawers in succession, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "I found it! When did it move to this drawer..."

"...", Mumu was discouraged for a moment, and accused him weakly, "Look carefully."

He didn't find the problem, but this little episode made Conan suddenly realize: the positions of those drawers have been changed!
So... the scratches all over the room may not only be used to blame the kendo master Suwa, but also to cover up the death message left by Maruden Jiro!
"The guidance was wonderful. As expected of you, you discovered the truth at a glance!" Maruden Jiro didn't pay much attention to Conan, a child, and applauded Shiraki clapping.
