He avoids a person charging at him with a knife.

Ishikawa comments where is the real written accusation.

First Case- Genius poet Ishikawa Takuboku moves to Tokyo with the help of an upperclassman of his, Kindaichi Kyousuke. Enraptured by both drink and women, Ishikawa finds himself perpetually out of money. The two men decide to drop by Asakusa and find themselves primary witnesses to a murder. The victim, Tatsukichi, worked in the home of Oguri, the head clerk to the Arakawa mines. When the murder weapon and a letter of accusation written by Tatsukichi are discovered, Oguri is arrested for the crime but Ishikawa isn't convinced. He figures out that the accusation letter found at the crime scene was fake based on the blood stains and shows that the real letter was burned up in pieces in the office's trashcan. Oguri was unaccused. Later Ishikawa reveals to Kindaichi that the letter wasn't actually in the trash can, it was a fake he made because he knew the letter was false, but he just couldn't find the real one.
