Conan: Naruto

"Hahaha......"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi scratched their heads in embarrassment when they heard this, and walked to the right of Kogoro Mouri.

"Uh...they were an accident."

Mori Kogoro was taken aback for a moment, and asked seriously again:

"Who are you?

Why murder? "

"My name is Suwa Yuuji, and I'm the person in charge of the Suwa Kendo Gym."

Suwa Yuji looked at Mori Kogoro, and explained angrily:

"Maruden, this damned bastard, sold my family heirloom as collateral, the famous sword [Kikuchiyo]!

I just asked him to redeem [Jiu Chiyo] with interest and principal, but that bastard told me...

I've already sold that scrap iron-like long knife, but I can't sell it for much money!

After he finished speaking, he turned his back, and while counting the stack of banknotes he earned from selling knives, he said to me dismissively...

The money from selling the knife should be regarded as interest on the loan, since it is just a useless knife anyway. "

Suwa Yuuji clenched his fists and said angrily:

"I was so stimulated by his hurtful words that I lost my mind, so I picked up the knife that was used as an ornament in the house and chopped it down from behind him!"

Suwa Yuuji regained his composure a little bit, and told him unhappily:

"The sword technique I used to kill him is my most proficient Iai chop, which is already worthy of him."

"Then why do you have knife marks all over the house?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Suwa Yuuji, and complained in bewilderment:

"And even the ceiling is covered with knife marks!!"

"Because of that phone call just now."

Suwa Yuuji shook his head helplessly.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Suwa, and repeated in surprise:

"The phone call?"

"Yes."

Suwa Yuji looked at Kudo Shinichi, and said calmly:

"After I stabbed Maruden, I thought I had killed him, when the landline in the house rang.

I waited patiently until the end of the call, and found that the phone had an automatic message function, so I listened to the message and found that it was another borrower.

He said......

The date of my repayment will be postponed for a while. If you dare to sell that sculpture, I will kill you. "

Suwa Yuuji paused for a second, then calmly explained:

"After I listened to the message on the phone, I turned around and looked at Maruden, and found that not only was he not dead, but he had engraved my name on the cabinet next to him."

Suwa Yuji looked at the brown vertical wooden cabinet that was leaning against the other wall and was engraved with knife marks, and admitted frankly:

"Yes, I killed him there.

In order not to expose the knife marks on the cabinet, I randomly exchanged the positions of the drawers that can be taken out completely in the cabinet, making the knife marks messy.

But......

If only this cabinet is riddled with knife marks, others must be suspicious.

Moreover, the location where Maruden fell was too close to the cabinet, which also aroused suspicion.

So I came up with a good idea. "

Suwa Yuji looked at Mori Kogoro, and calmly narrated:

"I just need to move Maruden's body, cut the room into a mess, and leave only the exquisite sculpture in the corner, and then I can put the blame on others.

Once the police find that the sculpture is intact, they will definitely list the prime suspect as the owner of the sculpture, the borrower who just called.

For the perfect implementation of the plan...

I rewound and cleaned the tape of the landline phone call, and recorded my message, which not only made the borrower lose the alibi, but also left me with an alibi. "

"I see."

Mori Kogoro nodded, and concluded calmly:

"The landline phone in this room is an extension, and the call we heard through the main unit in the main room just now also reached here at the same time.

So if you just falsified the phone message to be yourself, then the police will definitely not suspect that you who called at the time of the crime were the murderer. "

"Unfortunately, in the end, I fell short.

Ugh......"

Suwa Yuuji sighed, looked at Dongfang Haoyue, and said disappointedly:

"Unexpectedly, when I was about to finish the knife mark, someone would break in and subdue me in the first place...

What surprised me even more is... this person is actually a child... with the power to break the door lock with one kick...

It's unbelievable...”

Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo heard this, but they didn't speak, only a drop of embarrassing sweat dripped from their foreheads.

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Suwa Yuji calmly, thought for a while, and asked in bewilderment:

"But...after seeing the knife marks all over the room, the police must be the first to suspect you!"

Suwa Yuuji gradually regained his composure, and spoke calmly:

"After I finish the knife marks and stab the knife that killed Maruden into his chest, I will let him hold another decorative knife in this room."

"Hold it in your hand?

Didn't everyone suspect that Mr. Maruden had a kendo duel with others, but he failed and was killed? "

Mori Kogoro said in surprise:

"In this way, you who are proficient in swordsmanship must be more suspicious!"

"I let Maruden's sword-holding posture in the third stage of kendo go wrong, and the suspicion can be cleared."

Suwa Yuji looked at a photo hanging on the wall on the right, and explained calmly:

"The picture hanging on the wall shows that Maruden used to hold a knife with both hands, right hand in front and left hand behind.

As long as I change Maruden's knife-holding posture to the left hand in front and the right hand in the back, and then wipe my fingerprints left in this room, I can escape from the back door of the courtyard with peace of mind.

Wait until the police see him holding the knife in the wrong position.Must be suspicious...

I suspect that the borrower who doesn't understand kendo wants to blame me, so he faked the scene as a kendo duel.

I can logically use this to get rid of the crime and get rid of the suspicion.

In my opinion, no one in the world can detect my trick of blaming myself, right? "

Yuji Suwa looked at Kogoro Mori indifferently.

Dongfang Haoyue glanced at the photo, then looked at Suwa, thinking thoughtfully in her heart:

"It seems that because I broke the door violently, the prisoner and the murder weapon were captured on the spot, which turned the originally complicated reasoning plot into a speedrun version...

Is this good or bad...?

Hahaha......"

Dongfang Haoyue smiled awkwardly in her heart.

15 minutes later.

Police officer Megure arrived at the scene 5 minutes ago.

After listening to Suwa Yuji and everyone's confession, he waved his hand and took away Suwa and the physical evidence, leaving behind only a few police officers who took pictures to collect evidence and properly disposed of the body.

After the incident was over, Xiaolan's family bid farewell to the two maids who had never appeared in the courtyard, and walked home with mixed feelings.
