Chapter 97 Mrs. Rice: My husband died and I'm so sad, hehehehe...
The man rushing towards them was named Yuuji Kafumi, a kendo instructor. He had come to redeem his family's heirloom sword, "Kikuchiyo," but unfortunately, it had already been sold by the deceased.
A loan of five million, along with the family heirloom sword, is something a person devoted to the way of the sword could never accept.
So, without further ado, he picked up a sharpened wooden sword that was clearly meant as a decoration and stabbed him in the back.
Who would have thought that, under these circumstances, this amateur third-dan enthusiast would still be able to carve crucial information onto the cabinet while he was distracted by the phone message?
Now, he was planning to stage a crime scene to exonerate himself, but suddenly a group of four people stumbled upon the murder scene.
Regardless, Xie Fangxiong was not going to sit idly by and wait for his death. These people definitely didn't know him; they had never met him before. Whether it was waiting for the police to arrive or confirming his identity, it would take some time.
With that time difference, he could easily escape Tokyo.
However, he only carried the knife to deter his opponent from harming him; he had no intention of taking another life.
It was simply to make the people on the other side be sensible and not block the way.
However, Mr. Yuji may be disappointed. Even Conan, who seems to have the least fighting ability, is not so easy to subdue after several days of short-term special training, not even with technological means.
With her father present, friends by her side, and Conan at her feet, and her opponent wielding a dangerous samurai sword, Ran Mouri's fighting prowess is unpredictable thanks to these multiple buffs.
Kogoro Mouri has surprisingly not touched a drop of alcohol all day. Although his energy and spirit are still severely depleted, his daughter is right beside him, and the strength of a judo champion should not be underestimated.
And Akutagawa Hiko.
Looking at the group of people, some calm, some angry, and some eager to try, but none of them showed any fear, Fang Xiong Er felt a sudden pang in his heart.
His long-cultivated kendo intuition told him that he might be in trouble this time.
Akutagawa Hiko casually picked up a samurai sword hanging on the wall. Although he knew nothing about swordsmanship, the moment he held it, his extensive combat knowledge...
This allowed him to quickly learn the best way to hold the grip.
Without needing any fancy techniques, Akutagawa Hiko, with his exceptional eyesight, speed, and strength, directly swung his kodachi at the weakest point of the opponent's blade.
With a single sword cry, Xie Fangxiong's sword snapped in two, and Akutagawa Hiko appeared behind him.
"Excellent swordsmanship, may I ask for a name?"
"No, it's just a normal strike aimed at a weak point."
"admire-"
After saying that, Xie Fangxiong fell straight down.
The group knew Akutagawa Hiko to some extent, so they weren't worried about the safety of Yuji, who was lying on the ground, but they still came forward to check on him.
"Don't worry, I used the back of the blade for the second cut."
Ran Mouri exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's amazing! I only saw one stab, right? Dad and Conan did too?"
Kogoro Mouri examined Yuji Safang's neck and indeed heard a dull thud from a blunt object. He exclaimed incredulously, "That's right. It was unbelievable speed."
No, compared to dodging bullets, I'm far behind. Akutagawa thought to himself, and was about to tell Ran to call the police when he realized she had already dialed the police station's VIP hotline—Inspector Megure's private phone number.
Although Conan wears glasses, his eyesight and dynamic vision are excellent, and his glasses were recently improved again, so he could vaguely see the trajectory of the second stab.
However, seeing it doesn't mean you can avoid it.
It seems I've been too lenient with Yan during his usual training.
Conan secretly prayed that there was no such person in the Black Organization, otherwise just thinking about it made him want to give up and just lie down.
As the police arrived, the people in Marudenjiro's family returned one after another, and two other visitors who had made appointments also arrived at the room that had been hacked to pieces.
Upon seeing that Marudenjiro had died a violent death and that the murderer had been caught, Maru Inako, holding the hand of her lover, who was also Marudenjiro's family doctor, Hatano Takaya, let out a strange laugh.
It's no wonder she was so excited. As the saying goes, there are three great fortunes in life: promotion, wealth, and the death of one's husband. She directly accomplished the second of the three things by getting a promotion, and became extremely wealthy because of the death of her husband.
Now that she has inherited a large fortune, plus her youthful appearance and a beloved lover, it's no wonder she's so happy.
The third visitor, Akutsu Makoto, found his precious, intact possession—a rather exquisite dragon-shaped carving.
Perhaps she was genuinely happy, or perhaps she had learned from the tragic death of her husband, Maru Inako, or soon to be renamed Hatano Ta Inako, left for a while and retrieved a cloth bag.
He handed it to Yuuji, who had regained his senses thanks to Akutagawa Hiko's mercy: "My husband is very fond of kendo, so he wanted to keep this sword. But since you have already repaid the loan, it's best to return it to its rightful owner."
Akutagawa thought about it and actually found it quite reasonable.
First of all, a person who loves Kendo would naturally love a fine sword. And for someone who has no sense of public morality and likes to sell off their belongings as collateral, wouldn't it be a loss if they didn't sell the sword for a good price?
Since it's a famous sword, it's sold to someone who appreciates fine swords, so it certainly wouldn't be the worthless item that Maru Denjiro described.
It now appears that it was embezzled.
That's a reasonable explanation, I suppose.
Faced with the man who killed her husband, Mrs. Inako couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, sweetly clinging to Dr. Hatano's arm.
If it weren't for the two younger brothers, Ran, and Conan witnessing it firsthand, Inspector Megure would definitely have believed that Mrs. Inako was the murderer.
With this kind of excitement, she would normally be hoping for her husband's death so she could stand in front of them and cover herself up a little!
As the police car was taking Yuji Momo, who was supposed to go to jail but was actually quite happy to have recovered his family heirloom, to the Metropolitan Police Department...
Mrs. Inako found Akutagawa and the others.
"I would be grateful if you could help me clear my husband's name. I will also pay for the fees my husband entrusted to you. I can't let you come all this way for nothing."
As he spoke, he gave Akutagawa Hiko and Mouri Kogoro two large red envelopes each, and surprisingly, Mouri Ran and Conan also received some, and the envelopes were quite heavy.
but.
Mrs. Rice, could you please stop laughing like that? Your husband isn't being exonerated; he's been cuckolded!
However, that person was bald, and having a hat to accompany him to the afterlife must have been comforting.
