Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 83
In this so-called real sword duel scene, ordinary people might be able to see the problem, let alone Kaneda Kazuto, a rookie detective who is still familiar with kendo.

This scene is obviously fake, and it may be someone who doesn't know much about kendo, and the source of information tends to be exaggerated film and television works.

Then it couldn't be Yuji Suwa.

But according to Conan, he only found Suwa Yuuji going in and out during this period, and there were no other suspects except him.

Kindaichiji walked around the neighborhood before the police arrived.

Conan and Xiaolan have been staying in the courtyard of the main house, which is adjacent to the road leading to the gate of the main house, but a row of ornamental trees with a height of one person is planted between them, completely blocking the sight on both sides.

Conan can only see people coming in and out through the gaps exposed by the tree trunks, and it is impossible for him to keep looking there, so it is still possible for someone to sneak in and rely on the cover of these ornamental trees without being discovered. The gate was unlocked, and no one could come in.

There are no anti-theft facilities on the top of the villa courtyard wall. There are only some beautiful relief patterns carved on the top of the wall. The height is only normal. It is very effective for viewing and blocking the line of sight. But if you really want to climb, it is not impossible. arrive.

So even if you don't enter through the gate, you can enter from other places, not to mention that this villa has a back door.

The back door is tightly locked, but it is only a simple chain and padlock configuration. This set of locks is locked outside at the moment, and the possibility of locking it from the outside after prying the lock cannot be ruled out.

All in all, the possibility of others sneaking in during that time cannot be ruled out.

"The deceased was Denjiro Maru, 51 years old. The cause of death was that a Japanese sword was stabbed from the chest to the heart..."

Officer Mu Mu looked at the surrounding environment, and then at the state of the corpse.

"Judging from the traces at the scene and the stab wounds on the deceased, he should have been brutally killed after a fierce battle with the murderer."

"······" Kindaichi felt that he should take back the idea that ordinary people can see that something is wrong at the scene.

"Why are there Japanese swords here?" Megure Police Department asked.

"It was used by my husband as a display. He was originally interested in kendo, and he is a master of the third stage of kendo." Maru Rice said.

Maru Ineko is the wife of Marudenjiro, in her 30s, with exquisite makeup and good looks, and a tear mole under the corner of her right eye is even more charming.

Not long after the police arrived, she also returned home. At the same time, the maids Kumi and Saori came back one after another.

Kindaichi looked at several people carefully, and found nothing unusual so far, the emotions that should be surprised and sad were all displayed, and it didn't seem like acting.

While talking about her husband's attainments in kendo, Maruinako pointed to a large framed photo hanging on the wall. In that photo, Marudenjiro was wearing a gorgeous kendo costume, posing a very handsome kendo with two hands holding a sword Starting position.

"You can defeat Mr. Maru, who is a third-level swordsman, so the murderer is also a master of swordsmanship?" Mouri Kogoro analyzed.

"Brother Kindaichi, didn't you say you wanted to come here to find your kendo master?" Conan said in a loud voice.

"Master of swordsmanship?!"

The eyes of Megure Police Department and Mori Kogoro stabbed at him with a flash of light.

"Speaking of which, why is Brother Jin Tianyi here?" Meguro Police Department asked.

As a last resort, Kindaichi told the police about his fabricated intention of coming, and also mentioned his relationship with Suwa Yuji by the way.

Conan also testified on the sidelines, saying that he saw a person visiting around three o'clock and left about four or ten minutes later.

"How is Suwa Yuuji's strength?" Megure Police Department asked.

"Master Suwa's strength is unfathomable, and he already has the strength of sixth-level kendo." This question is easy to find out, and there is no need for him to lie.

At this moment, a forensic officer found a notepad from the corpse.

The Mumu Police Department took it over and looked through it, and found that a total of four visitors had been booked for this day, but the specific visit time was not specified.

The four are Mori Kogoro, Suwa Yuji, Akutsu Makoto and Hatano Ikuya.

"I know! The murderer is Yuji Suwa!" Mouri Kogoro shouted triumphantly.

"This Yuuji Suwa is one of the people that Kaneda made an appointment to meet. Koko Kaneda can prove that he is the one who came at the time of 3 o'clock. Conan and Xiaolan can prove that he is the only one who came during this time! Most importantly, his Kendo is much stronger than Maru-san, and he is the only one who has the ability to win and kill people in the kendo competition!"

Mori Kogoro's eyebrows were about to fly with pride.

There was nothing wrong with this reasoning, but Jin Tianyi had already seen the strangeness in it, so he wanted to refute it.

"But Dad, there is something strange!" Mao Lilan said suddenly.

"Ah?" Mori Kogoro was used to Conan's "Ah Lie Lie", this time Conan finally didn't say anything, but his daughter appeared out.

"What's so strange, Xiaolan?" Mumu Police Department asked.

"Look, his posture for holding the knife is reversed?" Mao Lilan pointed to the corpse's hand holding the knife.

Everyone looked over and saw that Maru Denjiro was holding the sword with his left hand in front and his right hand behind him.

"I used to watch the training of the kendo club next door when I was taking breaks between practicing in the karate club. They always hold the bamboo sword with the right hand in front and the left hand behind. It is said that it is more convenient for the right hand to exert force."

While speaking, Mao Lilan assumed the correct posture for holding a sword in kendo.

"That's right..." Megure Police Department moved closer to the corpse and observed carefully: "It is indeed the wrong grip..."

"Xiaolan is right!" Even Kindaichi and Er, who had studied kendo, didn't notice this flaw for a while, which made him couldn't help but look at Mao Lilan with admiration.

"Oh! Children, don't interrupt me! Mr. Maru must be left-handed!" Mori Kogoro said impatiently.

"It's not like this, Dad!" Mao Lilan insisted, she pointed to the photo on the wall: "Look at that photo, Mr. Marudenjiro in it holds the knife with his right hand in front and his left hand behind! "

"Ah~~~~" Mori Kogoro looked up at the photo, and as expected, he felt a little embarrassed as Mao Lilan said.

This feeling of strangeness and familiarity is so annoying...
"So, it was the murderer who held the knife for the deceased!" said the Memu Police Department.

"Yeah, although there are many traces of fighting in this room, there are too many of them, and although there are moves in the kendo that focus on upper-stage attacks, that doesn't mean that all the moves will be used on the ceiling." Kindaichiji finally took the opportunity to tell his discovery.

"I remembered that I heard some faint scraping and hitting the wall around 03:30, some of which were slower, it was very similar to the naughty students in our class who took chalk on the wall. Scratching makes sounds at all speeds," Conan added.

"So this scene should be faked. To create the illusion of a fight, the room was deliberately chopped up in a mess, so that Mr. Suwa Yuji could be blamed!" Megure Police Department concluded.

Seeing the four people in front of you analyzing seriously, you refute yourself every word, especially the new member Mao Lilan... Mori Kogoro suddenly felt very tired.
