Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 422 Inquiry
  "Madam is having an affair?!"

In Karitani's house, the two maids exclaimed almost at the same time.

Mumu and the others were standing at the entrance. After the two ladies calmed down, Mumu asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any clues about that man?"

The two of them nodded, and one of them couldn't hide his pain and replied slowly with choked sobs: "This morning a strange man with a mustache came to visit with his child."

Another added: "I remember his name was Goro Mori."

"You two made a mistake, I actually..." Mouri Kogoro took two steps forward and stood next to Megure.

"Yes, that's him!" One person pointed at Maoli and shouted.

The other person's reaction was more radical. He directly picked up the vacuum cleaner lying next to him and pointed it at Maori's head to give him a slap in the head. "You guy actually took my wife..."

Seeing this, Lu Ren tapped his right wrist a few times and temporarily 'invited' this woman who had behaved in an extreme manner to his home. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders like Maori and others who didn't know the situation, this woman seemed to have been suddenly subjected to a body-fixing spell. After raising the vacuum cleaner above her head, she became motionless.

Before anyone else could react, Lu Ren stepped forward and took the vacuum cleaner from her hand, and then repeated the operation just now.

"Mari, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"I..." She was still in a daze, "I seemed to have had a dream just now."

Lu Ren said: "You should be overly sad because of the death of Ms. Banzi, which led to hallucinations. I can understand your mood, but you really misunderstood. This is the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, who previously used a pseudonym It’s because I accepted the commission from Ms. Banko.”

After listening to Lu Ren's explanation, the two maids understood what was going on and began to bow and apologize to Mao Li.

Naturally, Maoli wouldn't care about this offense. Seeing that these two people really knew nothing about the deceased's affair, they continued to walk inside, preparing to ask other people.

Under the leadership of the maid, Maori and the others walked through the atrium, preparing to follow the day's route of action and first visit the head of the family, Karitani Osaku, the father-in-law of the deceased.

"Mouri Kogoro, detective?" At this time, Karitani Daisaku was leaning on his chair. Even when he saw the arrival of the police, he did not get up, but continued to sit. But it's understandable, after all, this man looks very old, with wrinkles on his face and gray hair, and he may not be as tall as he is when he sits.

Memu asked the old man routinely, and it turned out that he seemed to have a complete alibi during the time of the crime, and the two maids could also prove this. So they came to the door of Karitani's second son, brother-in-law of the deceased.

This middle-aged man with pigtails is a well-known author. Before Memu and the others came to the door, he seemed to be writing literature. Facing Mu Mu's inquiry, he looked even more impatient. "you……"

"Wait a moment." Lu Ren motioned to the two maids to step aside. Then he walked to the side of the braided man and looked down at him condescendingly. "Before you answer other people's questions, you should at least stand up. This is A matter of basic courtesy. Where was your upbringing?"

At this time, a cold wind seemed to blow by, and everyone felt a little cold on their necks. The braided man who faced Lu Ren had a different experience. He didn't feel a little cold, but felt like he was falling into an ice cave, as if there was a sharp knife on his neck.

"Yes, sorry."

The braided man suddenly stood up. Then he became very cooperative, but his speech became a bit stuttering.

Coincidentally, he also seemed to have a complete alibi. The maid can attest to this as well. So a few people moved to the room where Karitani's eldest son, the husband of the deceased, was. In fact, after entering Karitani's house, Megure assigned Takagi to go to the deceased's husband and launched an investigation in two groups.

But judging from the current situation, Takagi has obviously not made any progress. With a good temper, he was bending down and constantly begging the old man in front of him to cooperate with the investigation, but it was of no use.

The man stared at his canvas, a pipe in his mouth. Before Megure and the others entered the house, he didn't even look at Takagi.

"This family is really sick." Lu Ren muttered, walked to the pipe-smoking man, and repeated the operation just now. The next process was no different from the previous one, and the pipe-smoking man also became extremely cooperative. But this person also has an alibi.

The case went round and round and seemed to be back to square one. Under the reception of the maid, Lu Ren and his party came to the living room. Memu and Maori exchanged the case together, Conan followed them, and Lan and Lu Ren were last.

This time it was Lan and Lu Ren's turn to whisper, "Brother Ren, I feel that this family is a bit strange. Especially the gentleman just now, his lover was just killed, and he looked indifferent and said that he You have to concentrate on your work and don’t want to waste your time on this kind of thing.”

Lu Ren replied: "This kind of thing is normal. Not all couples are as loving as your parents. Many people have no feelings after being together for a long time. They may continue to maintain the family out of responsibility, or maybe It could be something else. It’s not love anyway.”

Mao Lilan was still puzzled: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to just divorce."

"Who knows, maybe she has other intentions."

While several people were chatting, the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang. The maid picked up the conversation and chatted for a while, then quickly handed the phone to Officer Megure and whispered: "It's a man calling, and he insisted that Mrs. Banko answer the phone."

Suddenly there was a new development in the case. Mu Mu instantly became energetic and took the phone from the maid. He knew without thinking that this call must have come from the deceased's affair partner.

But after chatting for more than ten minutes, the excitement in Megumi disappeared little by little. After hanging up the phone, he shook his head at Maori and the others, "It wasn't him. He was drinking with his colleagues in Hokkaido at the time of the crime. He has a clear alibi."

After eliminating the suspicion of having an affair, Megure and the others placed their suspicion on the head of the Karitani family and his two sons.

The reason is also very simple. Although the three of them have alibi, their certificates can be falsified in the eyes of experienced police officers. Because during the time when the case occurred, the maids who testified for them did not see the three of them with their own eyes. They just placed the prepared curry rice at the door of the three of them. There's something to be said for not being able to see the real person.

"This is a bit strange." Maoli looked at the two maids, "The three of them eat in their own rooms, why don't they eat together? Is there any conflict?"

"Twelve years ago, Master and the others had dinner together."

"Yeah, but after the third young master Ruiyou disappeared, they stopped eating together."

Ruiyu...

"Karitani Ruisuke. I remember!" Megure's suddenly raised voice attracted the attention of everyone present, "There was a phone booth murder case twelve years ago, and the method of committing the crime was exactly the same as this one."
