| Another. Yamamura lieutenant:Right To kill Mrs. Machiko piercing her breast with a blade... and to hide her body in the well. has been the person... Yoshiyuki: Hey, but wasn't that guy with the sunglasses that strolled around here? Probably he is the brother of our mother, that fifteen years ago has inveighed against us after the death of his sister, falled in the well and drowned... He had all the motives for do it, but we will clarify the motive after he will be halted... Yamamura lieutenant: No, he isn't the murderer Yoshiyuki: Whaaat? Yamamura lieutenant: Mrs. Machiko has stopped the auto in the wood and has returned here walking,right? If that man wanted to attack her it would have done it out of the residence, where nobody could seen him...Do you think that he would have put him on danger to hide the dead body in the well? As more he would not have tied the body to the rope, making it easier to discover... Hidekazu: But if would he have done it to remember us the accident of fifteen years ago? Hiromi: In his pocket there was even a flower of camellia... Yoshiyuki:Certainly that man wants kill us all!!! Yamamura lieutenant: Kill you all? This isn't a closed place cut out from the outside! Once the dead body has been found , we of the police arrived immediately! You don't risk nothing from a suspect that even couldn'tenter here freely... Besides Mrs. Machiko was extraneous to the accident of fifteen years ago... there wasn't any necessity of hide a camellia on her body and place her in the well to remember the accident... Yoshiyuki: But then that man with the dark glasses? Yamamura lieutenant: Probably he is a detective engaged from someone to discover if Mr. Yoshifusa is an impostor or not... As more that he wandered in the environs also after the arrival of the police... Hiromi: Just a moment...but if he is not the guilty... Yoshiyuki: It...it's absurd!! Yamamura lieutenant: instead it's the truth... The murderer of Mrs Machiko is in... this room!! Yoshiyuki: Hey, we have told it many times! Last night that woman had gone to the hotel in front of the station, and about at nine o'clock she has called from the reception!! Hidekazu: Also going out immediately after the phone call, she could not arrive before the ten o'clock... And from before the ten we were all together in the same room, nobody could have committed the crime... Was really her that has called? Hiromi: Yes....She has phoned also at eight o'clock and in both the calls, the voice was the same,even the noises of the reception were the same... Yoshiyuki: Understand? With all this you still insist to suspect of us? Yamamura lieutenant: Seems that all you have an alibi. But that phone call has really been made from the reception? Yoshiyuki: What? Yamamaura lieutenant: Retry to think about the strange behavior of Mrs. Machiko before her death... She tells that she would have came back only after the eleven, but at ten o'clock she was already here... Besides she leaves the car with the key inserted, in the wood and inside it there is the empty custody of an audio tape... The fingerprints of Mrs. Machiko on the knife point out that she held it with the blade toward the outside...and that was wrapped in a woman raincoat... Finally, and this is the conclusive element, that tape found near the oven. with recorded the noises of the reception where she had gone... What do you deduce? After the eight o'clock Mrs. Machiko phones from the reception, immediately after that she gets out of the hotel and drive by car for return here! Then,after the nine, without anyone notice,the car in the wood near here, she reproduces the recorded tape with the stereo of the car and she calls a second time... To make us believe that she is still at the hotel... Yoshiyuki:Ha ha ha!What are you talking about?To put it in this way it seems that she wanted to have an alibi! Hiromi: It's right! But she has been killed,instead!Why should have she acted in this way? Yamamura lieutenant: Because the situation has been inverted!! Yoshiyuki: "inverted"? Yamamura lieutenant: Yes, Mrs. Machiko, using this alibi built on purpose, wanted to kill a certain person!! But,instead,she has been killed by her target!! Yoshiyuki:Wh...what? Yamamura lieutenant:Unfortunately, The trick that she used has finished to furnish an alibi to the person that has killed her before she could strike... The raincoat found in the well, she wore it in the moment of the crime,otherwise her clothes would have get dirty with the blood of the victim... and she wanted to leave the camellia in the pocket of the body, to make this crime seemingly connected to the accident of fifteen years ago... The tape found near the oven... it must be fallen while she was going to kill the target that was in the bathtub... or maybe it's slipped out from the pocket after she has been killed in the bathroom , while she was pulled to the well... However it has gone, the intention of the woman was destroy the tape throwing it in the fire... Yoshiyuki: I...in the bathroom? Yamamura lieutenant: Exact. .the place of the crime is very probably the bathroom. ..she would not have problems to take off the blood after the crime! The proof is that in the first phone call, Mrs. Machiko has pointed out the location of the firewood. Is not it, Mrs. Hiromi? Hiromi: ye...yes and immediately after, I have prepared the water. And she called the second time to be sure that the tub was ready. Yosiyuki.And then,who was the murderer? SPEAK!WHO IS THAT HAS KILLED THAT WOMAN? Yamamura lieutenant: The target of Mrs. Machiko loves much to take a bath,she knew that would be the first to enter in the tub. Among you there's only one person whose turn is determined... Mr. .YOSHIFUSA YABUUCHI!IT'S YOU!!! Hiromi: U...Uncle...but how...? Yoshifusa:... Yamamura lieutenant:The fingerprints of mrs. Machiko,that held the blade toward the outside,prove it.... There is a technique in the Brazilian Judo in which you wring the hand of an assailant armed with knife for pierce it with his same blade... When you have been attacked by Machiko, Mr. Yoshifusa has used it instinctively... The motive of the woman must be the inheritance, to increase his part... Hidekazu: But if was just defense, why the uncle hasn't spoken? Yamamura lieutenant: Because the letters were two... Hidekazu:!? Yamamura lieutenant:Yes, the letters of threat sent to Mr. Yoshifusa... Do you remember the words Mr. Yoshifusa told after the arrow has missed him? His phrase pointed out that he has been already attacked... Then,even Mrs. Machiko had sent a threatening letter...Exactly like Mrs. Keiko that had prepared the arrow. The body had been tied up to the rope of the well as warning for the sender of the other letter... with the hope that, terrorized to this sight, she desist from his intentions... In any case,is always just defense. I think you should confess,Mr. Yoshifusa. Mysterious man:No good yet... Yamamura lieutenant: Eh? Yukiko: Hey! Hiromi: What happens? Conan: WHAAT? Mysterious man: Listen the tape with the will! I think that it will solve any remaining mystery... Come on,quick!! Lawyer: Y...yes... Radio: The following persons listed,will take possession of my substances... My wife Machiko, my daughter Hiromi, his husband Hidekazu,my son Yoshiyuki, his wife Keiko... and Carlos... Yoshiyuki: Ca. .Carlos? Why he has said his name? Hiromi:It's absurd!! Why is not there? There isn't the name of the uncle!! Mysterious man: Logical that he isn't named... Because this old gentleman has come from the brazil only to protect Carlos... HE IS NOTHING ELSE OF HIS BODY GUARD!! Conan: What? Hiromi: But then Carlos... Mysterious man: Is the son that the true Yoshifusa has had by a Brazilian woman... Yoshiyuki: S...son? Hidekazu: But Mr. detective, where have you found out... Mysterious man: No, I am not a detective... Yuhsaku: I'm a simple story-writer... Conan: D...Dad!? Hiromi: Yuhsaku!? Why have you come here? Yuhsaku.Any particular motive... Hidekazu: But he is not really the uncle? He is left-handed, and the calligraphy is the same... Yuhsaku: In this world there many left-handed persons... And it is logical that the calligraphy corresponds!Because Mr. Yoshifusa had made write that phrase to him... Hiromi.Eeeeeh? Yuhsaku: Yoshifusa and this gentleman directed a farm in Brazil together... But, ten years ago, an hurricane stroke their farm causing the wound to the leg of this gentleman and depriving Yoshifusa of the left arm... From that day all the communications of Yoshifusa, were written by this man... If also Carlos participates to the inheritance is because Yoshiichika, brother of Yoshifusa, had compassion of this young that, beyond the lost of the farm , six months ago has seen the death of his father for an illness... It's all written here...in these numerous letters hidden in the wharehouse... Hidekazu: B...But why does this man said to be the uncle? Yoshiyuki: Perhaps he wanted the inheritance... Would Yuhsaku:which man, for cupidity,should personify a person that has received threats of death? If someone would have found out that Carlos was the child of Yoshifusa, the attempters would have tried to kill him for sure... And then, this gentleman has studied and took advantage of all the particularities, like the scar, that Yoshifusa said to him... So the threats should had felt down only on him... A proof is that Carlos stays in the room with the others, when he went to the bathroom... Leave him there with the others was safer... The intention was to catch who threatened him, but he has finished to kill Machiko... It was just defense, but if he 'd had denounced it,he would have to go with the police for the questioning... And he could not surely leave Carlos in the hands of the second assassin... He wanted to talk with an agent, so he had tied the body in the well to be sure that someone could find it... But to come,was a rookie agent with his first experience, that he didn't give any trust... So he was waiting the opening of the will to speak... Perhaps there were some errors, Mr... Jixon Tanaka, born in Brazil from Japanese parents? Tanaka:. pf...it's like he has told... There were no errors... Yuhsaku: To appear in front of the police,you want a valid person to present you? I Know a devil of inspector... Tanaka: yes, I thank you...I know I can trust you... Two hours after, the inspector Megure is arrived...has been decided that Mr. Tanaka and Mrs. Keiko came to the police station of Gunma... Carlos that don't understand the Japanese very well,followed the car with a sad look... but was happy like a child, as soon as my father said to him that his "tutor" would be soon back... Seems that Mr. Tanaka ,with the purpose of protect him, didn't told nothing of the inheritance, neither this was the family of his father... Finally, the long night ended... Conan: EEEH? WERE YOU LISTENING WHAT I TOLD? Yuhsaku: Yes! Professor Agasa has given me this receiver that gets the sounds produced by your bow-tie! I have allowed Myself to follow your deductions! Conan: Tsk! If I had found those letters, I would have discovered if that man was what he pretended to be too.. Yuhsaku: I knew that he was not him,Before I discovered them... Conan: Eh? How? Yuhsaku: The scar on the leg! A left-handed first base lengthens the left leg... that man instead has it on the right leg... This has made me suspicious, so I have rummaged in the wharehouse where I have found the letters! You are still scarce, my dear Shinichi! Conan:.. Yukiko:Heard him how is talking! you have arrived here to pursue me and you pose in that way... Tsk, " I am a simple story-writer..."!! who do you think you are? Kogoroh Akechi perhaps? Yukiko: Mah. awful! awful!! I can't stand these men.... Yuhsaku: Yukiko... Let's go... Yukiko:.. Don't you have a minimum of tact you? Let's Go, that's all? Conan:.. Yukiko: What are you doing Shinichi?We will leave you here! Conan: Ah... In any case, the homicide... as the conjugal quarrel has been resolved... Yukiko: See you soon, Shinchan! Yuhsaku: Greet me Ran! Ah, by the way, you have to pay attention with her... Conan: Eh? Yuhsaku: There is something that doesn't convince me... in her last smile... Conan:.. Yuhsaku: Don't underestimate the women or else... remember it. Yukiko: Oh, I see that you have understood it! Bye bye! Conan: Ha ha ha...ridicolous... Ridicolous... I am at ho... ...me... Ran: I have known it from the professor Agasa... Conan: W... what...? Ran: If you go to some place, you could at least tell me ,couldn'y you? Conan: Eh? Ran: I was worried for you!! I Have phoned more times at Shinichi's home but there was never anyone!! Always the same rascal!! Conan:I...I'm really sorry... Pf, she had gave me a fear... ----hope we translated it right.it has been a real challenge, with our poor english---- Manuel and Stefano |
