Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 84 Three Visitors
Mori Kogoro's embarrassment did not last long, because there was a sudden noisy sound outside.

Everyone walked out of the single room upon hearing the sound, only to see a few police officers escorting a man in a suit and leather shoes over.

"Police, this man is sneaking around the door!" said a policeman.

"I'm not sneaky!"

This person looks to be in his thirties. He is well dressed, wears glasses, has a kind complexion, and although he is not very handsome, he looks very gentle, but his stature is a bit short.

"Mr. Hatano!" Maru Rice couldn't help shouting out: "This is Mr. Hatano, he is not a bad person!"

The Mumu Police Department waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to let go of the man.

The man stretched out his hand to tidy up his messy clothes, and then walked to the Mumu Police Department.

"Does Mrs. Maru Inoko know this person?"

"Officer, this is my husband's attending doctor. She checks my husband who has diabetes every week, and it's the same today..."

"So you are [Hatano Ikuya] recorded in this book?"

"Yes, it's me." Hatano also handed over his business card.

Just as the identity of Hatano Jiya was confirmed here, there was another commotion over there, and this time it was even more violent.

"Do you know who I am?! What are you doing!" A rough male voice came.

The police brought in another man, who was also said to be sneaking around.

This person had a braid similar to that of Kanedaichi, but his appearance was a bit unsatisfactory, and he was unshaven, dressed in sloppy, greasy style, and even only wore a red singlet on his top, showing his muscular figure.

"Do you know who I am?" The man struggled: "I am the master sculptor Akutsu!"

"Ajiujin? Is it Makoto Ajiujin?"

"Yes, I am. I just made an appointment with the owner of this house, why did you arrest me!"

The Mumu Police Department took a look at the notebook, and there was indeed such a person in it, so he signaled everyone to let him go.

"Officer Megure, three of the four people recorded in the notebook are already here, and the only one who hasn't come is Suwa Yuuji." Mori Kogoro quickly regained his confidence: "Among the four visitors, I am They have come but haven’t left yet. These two have just arrived at the appointed time. Since Yuji Suwa has already been here, there is no need for him to come again, so he is the only one who has time to commit murder, plus According to the testimony of Kindaichi and Conan, he is the murderer, and he is not wrong!"

"But Dad, didn't we just confirm that the scene was fake?" Mao Lilan said.

"So what, that may also be Suwa Yuuji's deliberate reverse operation to deceive a simple child like you in order to clear his suspicion!"

"It's too early to draw conclusions..." Kazuto Kinda couldn't help but argue.

"That Suwa Yuuji is your friend, so naturally you talk to him!"

"There is some truth in what you said, but no matter what, I think it is necessary to call Suwa Yuuji to check." Megure Police Department said.

"What... what do you mean by this?" Hatano asked curiously.

"That's right! You are talking about the murderer, the one at the scene, did something happen to Mr. Maru? Who is Suwa Yuuji?" Akutsu Makoto also asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have to tell you a piece of unfortunate news. Mr. Maru Denjiro was killed in the afternoon." Megure Police Department said.

"what?"

"Mr. Maru died in this single house!" Mori Kogoro said.

"Let's go take a look at the scene together. It just so happens that I also have something to ask you."

At this time, Police Officer Megure has ordered his subordinates to find Suwa Yuji based on the information provided by Kanedaichiji.

When everyone was walking towards the single house together, Kazuto Kaneda secretly put on a thin-looking glove, and deliberately walked past the three people next to Maruinako, Hatano Ikiya, and Akutsu Makoto one by one, and finally took off the glove while others were not paying attention. down.

Conan noticed Kindaichiji's strange behavior, but didn't point it out.

In the single room, the two visitors saw Marudenjiro's body, and they both showed expressions of horror. Unfortunately, the magic mirror did not warn.

Maybe the emotional contrast between these two people has not reached the critical point, or maybe they are not the murderers in the first place.

Police officer Megure deduced from the available information that the time of the deceased's murder was between [-] o'clock when Yuji Suwa visited and [-]:[-] o'clock when Kaneda Kazuji visited. The murderer preliminarily judged that it was one of the four scheduled visitors.

"Brother Maori, what are you doing here today?" Mumu Police Department asked.

"Ah I?"

"Of course! You are also one of the four visitors, so you are also suspected!"

"Please, I'm just accepting the entrustment of the deceased to come here to report whether Mrs. Marinade is having an affair... Ah!"

Mori Kogoro quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late, everyone in the room heard it, including the police guard outside the house and the two maids watching.

These two people have been investigated, and they don't have the time to commit the crime at all, so they can be ruled out.

Everyone loves to listen to gossip, and the sound of "swish" suddenly sounded around.

Mrs. Marutane didn't refute, but just blushed.

Mori Kogoro secretly glanced at Marinako from the corner of his eye, coughed twice in guilty conscience, and everyone seemed to be quiet again.

"What about this guy's work ethic?" Kazuto Kinda couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Mori Kogoro had her daughter and Conan testify that she had not been near the single house during this time, so there was no chance of killing.

According to Kazuto Kaneda, Suwa Yuji borrowed 500 million yen from Marudenjiro with the heirloom sword [Kikuchiyo]. They agreed to come at three o'clock to repay the sword, and then they probably left four or ten minutes later. The suspect is the biggest, but it cannot be fully confirmed that he is the murderer.

Therefore, it is necessary for the remaining two people to talk about their whereabouts at that time and the purpose of coming here.

The first to make a statement was Makoto Akutsu.

"I am the sculptor Akutsu Makoto. Like the guy you mentioned, I also mortgaged a work of art and borrowed 900 million yen from Mr. Wazumaru."

"Are you here to pay back the money too?"

"No, I haven't raised enough money yet, so I want to ask him for a few days."

"Then what were you doing between three and four ten in the afternoon?"

"I work in my own sculpting studio, it's just me, there's no one to prove it."

"So you don't have an alibi!" Mao Lilan said.

"Well..." He really couldn't provide valid proof.

Next is Hatano Ikuya.

"I am Hatano Ikuya, Mr. Maru's attending physician. I have made an appointment to come here for a routine physical examination for him today."

"What were you doing between three and four ten in the afternoon?"

"I······"

At this moment, Conan, who was standing beside Hatano Ikuya, suddenly pouted his nose.

"This man has a smell, like a woman's perfume, this smell... I seem to have smelled it somewhere?"

Conan quickly walked around everyone, smelling everyone's scent.

When he smelled Kindaichiji's side, he caught him.

"What did you find?" Kazuto Kinda asked.

Conan now has some recognition of Kinda Kazuo's abilities. Although he always felt that there were some mysteries in the other party that made him unable to fully trust him, he was still trustworthy when solving cases, so he quietly told Kazuo Kindaa Kazuo what he had discovered.

Finding someone with the same scent as Hatano Jiya can really only be done by Conan. If it was Kazuto Kinda, he might be arrested by the police on the spot for obscenity.
