Conan's great cartoonist

Chapter 168 Story: Seeing the Truth

"So that's how it is." After listening to the message, Police Officer Megure turned to look at the two of them, "It was scheduled to see Dr. Hatano at five o'clock, and Mr. Suwa was originally at six o'clock, so he called and said he would arrive earlier. Show up at five o'clock."

"Yes."

Suwa Yujimichi.Xia Qiu looked at the other party, obviously the murderer was this person, but he was very calm, and now his alibi appeared, which is really interesting.

"If it's an answering machine, I also have a message." Seeing this, Ajiu Jincheng said hastily.

"is that true?"

Officer Megure asked, because his message did not play on the answering machine.

"Of course it is true." Ajiu Jincheng said: "I said, although it will be later, I will definitely pay back the money. So if you sell that, I will kill you!"

"Kill him."

Police officer Mu Mu's eyes changed. These words really gave people too much suspicion and motive for killing.

"No, no." Ajiu Jincheng said quickly: "I just scare him. He said that if I can't pay back the money, I will sell the sculptures I pledged as collateral."

"What kind of carvings are they?"

Inspector Mumu asked.

"That's the dragon."

Ajiujincheng took a look, then pointed to the dragon-shaped sculpture on the cabinet on the right.

"Ok?"

Xia Qiu's eyes moved, and he looked over.The carving is really good, and the shape is not a big lizard with two wings inserted in the shape of a dinosaur, but an oriental dragon.

But the strange thing is that there are many works of art on that cabinet, but they are all scattered, except that the dragon has no traces and is still intact.

"Great, there are no scars." Seeing his intact carvings, Akutsujo walked over.That look was almost like looking at his own son.

"Uncle, you are so lucky."

At this time, Conan said from the side.Ajiu Tsujo was taken aback, then turned to look at Conan.

"The room was chopped up in a mess, only the sculpture was fine." Conan said innocently.

"So that's it, I understand." Hearing the prompt, Mori Kogoro acted like a detective again and said, "Mr. Ajitsu, the criminal is you."

"What did you say?"

Ajiu Jincheng clenched his fist, a little angry.This is a natural reaction when a person is framed.

"You killed Mr. Denjiro, and then put the blame on Mr. Suwa." Mori Kogoro said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, but you made two mistakes. The first is that you let the victim hold the knife." The direction is reversed, and there is no scar on the dragon carving."

"Even if you kill someone, you can't harm the sculptures that are more important than life, right?" Mori Kogoro said very seriously, as if that was the truth of the case.

"What are you talking about?" Later, Police Officer Meguro asked again: "Then why did you lie and say that you left a message on the answering machine?"

"I didn't lie, I really left a message." Ajiu Jincheng said: "And I'm just a sculptor, and I've never learned the art of swordsmanship, so how could I kill him?"

"This one……"

Police officer Mu Mu was speechless for a while, and he was right.The victim obviously died on someone who knew how to start a sword, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with a sculptor.

"It must have been you who killed him while he wasn't paying attention." At this time, Kogoro Mori said beside him, "Also, although you are a sculptor, you are also a knife user."

"How come? Your statement is too far-fetched!" Ajiu Jincheng argued.

"That's right, it's impossible for him to kill people. Uncle Mori Kogoro, if you don't have any evidence and only rely on speculation, it's better not to talk about such boring reasoning."

At this time, Xia Qiu said.

"What did you say?"

Mori Kogoro looked at him, a little upset, and everyone looked at him too.

"If it were me, it would be fine to just take that sculpture away after the murder. If only one is suspected, it would be fine to take away some other things too."

"And the things here are very valuable, right? If the murderer is really him, how could he destroy so many valuable things instead?"

Xia Qiu said self-consciously, his words were clear and orderly.It is obviously more convincing than what Mori Kogoro said.The same is true for Conan, looking at Xia Qiu in surprise, because he has never thought of it this way.

"However, it's also possible that after the murder, he panicked and didn't have time to think about it." Maori Kogoro said, but the reason for his rebuttal was a bit weak and untenable.

"It's also impossible." Xia Qiu said: "If he really panicked, he should leave some traces. At least fingerprints are essential. But there are no such things at the scene."

"And the scratches all over the room are enough to show that he had enough time to deal with the scene. How could he panic? But he destroyed all the valuable things here, leaving only That wood carving, why?"

"The answer is simple. Because he is not short of money, he turned a blind eye to everything placed here, but he deliberately left the wooden carving and got the wrong posture of holding the knife, just to frame him. Am I right? Meguro Police Officer?"

"That's right!" Police Officer Meguro said: "The murderer did have enough time to tidy up the scene. If the murderer was Mr. Akutsu, it would be impossible to leave such a big hole."

"Ma'am, can you see if there are any valuables missing in this room?" After speaking, Police Officer Megure looked at Ms. Marudae again and said.

"I'm sure the key to the vault is in the cabinet." Ms. Maruta said, she stepped forward and opened it, and was shocked, "It's gone! The key to the vault is gone."

"Nani?"

Police officer Mu Mu was taken aback, and so was Ajiu Jincheng. This result was not very friendly to him. Xia Qiu frowned, feeling puzzled.

"It really is you!" Mori Kogoro stepped forward, grabbing the opponent's collar with both hands.

But then...

"Ala, I found it, and it's in another drawer." Ms. Marinao opened another drawer and found the key without the vault.

"Mrs……"

For this situation, Mu Mu police officer is very speechless.Mori Kogoro was embarrassed and got it wrong again.Ajiu Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief and made a false alarm, but was it too dramatic?

Looking at the cabinet, Xia Qiu's mind flashed instantly, and everything was figured out.At the same time, the appearance of the cabinet seemed to be imprinted in his brain, as if data tennis mode had been activated.

Finally, as the drawers move back and forth, a pattern is finally formed.

See the truth!
