Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 485 Deja Vu
  Backpacking requires a lot of paper due to gastrointestinal discomfort.

At the same time, he has mysophobia and does not want to use the toilet paper provided by the KTV itself.

Although this series of reasons is far-fetched, it is still justifiable.

In addition to the problem with the backpack, Lu Ren was also particularly concerned about the fact that this person took a bit long to go to the toilet.

The box he left at 5:50 did not reappear in the surveillance range until 6:05.

It takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet?
  This can also be explained by gastrointestinal discomfort.

Another possibility is that he killed the deceased.

Ten minutes is a long time to go to the toilet, but it's just right for killing people.

Lu Ren temporarily listed him as the first suspect and watched the surveillance video again.

It was still 6:05, and at the same time that Honma walked into the wrong box, the muscular man Yu Yuan happened to leave the box and walked into the surveillance blind spot.

His reason was the same as the first two, he went there to use the toilet.

Next was the old man in box number one.

His name was Kunio Tamai, and unlike Kyouta Honma, he first put all the equipment he had in the house and then walked over empty-handed.

Looking at what he was doing, he looked like he had just come back from fishing.

"You ran to the toilet too?"

"No, I'm going to buy cigarettes." The old fishing man and the other three people had different reasons. "There's not a vending machine next to Box 5. It's just that the brand I wanted to smoke happened to be sold out, and then I just went came back."

At 6:10, the old fishing man returned to his box, followed closely by the muscular man.

Lu Ren recorded the time when the two left and came back in his notebook.

I found that the time overlap between the two people was a bit too high.

They both returned to the box at 6:10, but the time they left was slightly different.

The muscular man is 6:05, and the fisherman is 6:07.

If one of these two people is the murderer, the time spent committing the crime was five minutes and three minutes respectively.

This time is enough to kill people, just like what Riku Ren said to Hayasaka Minyo yesterday.

It’s just that the risk is a bit high.

The two of them could run into each other at any time.

Forget it, maybe the murderer just got lucky, so let’s continue reading.

At 6:18, the main hall Yingyou reappeared in the surveillance range. However, he did not return to his box, but broke into box four.

The reason was the same as Kyota Honma, he accidentally ran into the wrong place.

Hmm... This fits his confused persona quite well.

Lu Ren looked at the time recorded in the notebook. Eiyu Hondo left the box at 6:03, and it took him fifteen minutes to go to the toilet, which was the same length as Kyouta Honma.

If you look at this alone, he suddenly became the second suspect in this case. There is enough time to commit the crime.

"Are you feeling upset about your stomach too?" Lu Ren asked.

Before the court Eyou could answer, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly answered on his behalf: "Brother Ren, he was sick and hospitalized some time ago. Even if he is discharged now, he will still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Is that so?"

Suzuki Sonoko: "Yeah, yeah. We originally wanted to go to cake, but he can't eat sweets. Then we asked to go to a burger restaurant. There was a super spicy chicken drumstick burger that was super delicious, but he couldn't eat chili peppers and fried foods. .I came to sing in the end.”

Super delicious super spicy chicken drumstick?
  Lu Ren made a note in his notebook. After solving the case, I was going to ask Yuanzi where the store was.

As for now, let’s focus on the case itself.

At 6:24, the clerk left the surveillance range.

As he said before, he came here to remind the dead.

This time it was Memu's turn to pause the surveillance video, "Could it be that you used this as an excuse to kill the deceased?"

"I think this is impossible." Conan stood up to testify for the clerk at this time, "I heard his cry and ran out quickly. It was 6:25, and the blood on the ground had basically dried. .”

"Is it?"

Several people continued to watch the surveillance and found that just as Conan said, he rushed out of his box at 6:25.

If the clerk really yelled, he would have committed the crime in less than a minute.

Conan himself is a detective, so it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake and give false testimony on behalf of the clerk.

Although Megure and the others don't know Conan's true identity, they still believe in Conan's abilities after being in contact with him for so long.

Therefore, the clerk’s suspicion can be ruled out directly.

There are four remaining suspects.

They are Kyouta Arima and Eiyu Hondo, who committed the crime for fifteen minutes.

Yu Yuan, a muscular man who committed the crime for five minutes.

Fishing Weng Yujing took three minutes to commit the crime.

Lu Ren thought for a moment and planned to start with the fisherman who had committed the crime the shortest time.

This man's testimony was also different from others. He said that he went to the vending machine to buy cigarettes and did not go to the toilet.

The murderer hit the deceased on the head multiple times with a blunt instrument, causing his death. In the process, the deceased suffered a considerable amount of bleeding.

Even if the murderer paid extra attention, there may not be blood on his clothes, but there should be blood on his hands.

At this time, if you want to clean the blood on your hands, the most convenient way should be to use the toilet sink to clean it.

But it is unlikely that Diaoyu Weng Yujing cannot do this.

Suppose it only takes him a minute to kill.

That's where I ran to the bathroom at 6:08. I had to wash my hands and rush back at 6:09.

Only in this way can he appear in the monitoring range at 6:10.

This is a bit too extreme. It's not like playing a game, you can infinitely load files and rewind the card time.

So if the fisherman kills someone, there are only two situations.

First, there was no blood on his hands and there was no need to clean them at all.

Second, he had blood stains on his hands, which he cleaned up after returning to the box.

Regardless of the above, it is impossible to detect the blood reaction of the deceased in the drainage pipe of the toilet sink.

In other words, if the blood reaction of the deceased can be detected in the drainage pipe, the suspicion of Diao Weng can basically be ruled out.

Lu Ren was prepared to do this alone.

As for the police, they certainly cannot be left idle.

"Officer Mumu, go and take the fingerprints on Box 5. Then compare them with the fingerprints of these people."

"Yeah." Everyone started to move separately.

Lu Ren walked to the bathroom. He stood in front of the sink, put on his gloves and began to disassemble the drainage pipe under the sink.

The pipe was quickly disassembled, and then Lu Ren took out a knife and cut the entire pipe directly through it.

The inside of the pipe was very dark, and after it was dismantled, a stench came out.

Lu Ren held his breath and observed carefully. After a simple visual inspection, he saw no traces of blood remaining in the inner wall of the pipe.

Then he took off one of his gloves and took out a bottle of reagent from his pocket.

"Rumilol reaction reagent. Brother Ren, you actually carry a bottle of this with you."

"Xiao Ai? Why are you here? Stay a little further, the smell is very strong here."

"Ah."

Most people really don't carry this kind of chemical reagent with them.

Even Edogawa Conan, who encounters cases every day, doesn't have this idea.

Because this thing is standard equipment for the police. Generally speaking, there is no need to prepare another bottle yourself. Lu Ren has this reagent on his body because he has a wishing ring.

Anyway, there is enough space, so I can bring a bottle with me in case of emergencies.

He had never considered this before. It was only after the "suicide" case at the Cherry Blossom Festival that Lu Ren thought about throwing a bottle into the wishing ring.

That time they spent a lot of time searching for blood stains in the house. If this luminol reagent had been available at that time, there would have been no need for so much trouble.

Lu Ren dropped the reagent on the inner wall of the pipe, and there were obvious reactions quickly in several places.

Blood stains were detected inside the pipe, and the suspicion of Diao Weng could basically be ruled out.

Lu Ren informed Huiyuan of his guess.

"If you look at it this way, Mr. Tamai's suspicion of committing the crime is indeed not high. But this is not necessarily true. Maybe the blood on the inner wall of the pipe does not belong to the deceased. It may also be that someone suddenly had a nosebleed while washing his hands."

Haiyuan proposed another possibility.

"That's true. I'll let the laboratory check it out later."

"Yes." Seeing that Lu Ren was busy with what he was doing, Haiyuan Dao explained his purpose, "I just saw the deceased not long ago."

"Ok?"

"I met Hondo Eiyu and the others in the bookstore. After leaving the bookstore, I found someone following us from behind. Edogawa also noticed this."

"Because his tracking techniques are so bad, we feel that he is definitely not from the organization. Edogawa speculates that this person may be a member of the FBI, sent to monitor and protect Eiyu Hondo."

"Member of the FBI?" Lu Ren thought for a moment, "It's probably unlikely. If the FBI can still be killed by a group of ordinary people, then he will really live like a dog."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he was unprepared and was attacked by someone he knew?"

Lu Ren understood Haiyuan's hint, "Sneak attack... Do you suspect me, Yingyou?"

"Yes. When I found out that the deceased was this person, I have been observing the expression of our hall Yingyou. Brother Ren, didn't you notice? He is in a very depressed mood and looks very worried."

Haiyuan paused for a moment and then added, "When I met him in the bookstore, he didn't behave like this."

If you want to say that, this hall Yingyou seems very suspicious.

But Lu Ren still didn't think he would be the murderer.

Is this how Fei Yingli felt yesterday?

Thinking that people you know well are unlikely to commit crimes.

Forget it, let’s follow the original plan and investigate a few other suspects first.

This is not the proof question Fei Yingli faced yesterday, which only gave one option.

The multiple-choice question to be solved now has four options. You can definitely explore other options first.

If all other options are really eliminated, only this Hall Yingyou is left.

There's no way that.

Lu Ren left the bathroom and asked Memu about their progress.

Fingerprints are still being collected, and it will take some time for the collection to be completed.

In addition to collecting fingerprints for comparison as Lu Ren said, the police also checked every corner of the crime scene one by one.

If you find it, of course you will. There was a film camera in the deceased's suit pocket.

Chiba has already gone to develop the film, and the results will probably be available in a while.

Apart from this, no murder weapon was found at the crime scene.

No blood reaction was detected on any blunt instruments in the box that could be used to kill people.

Mu Mu: "The murder weapon was probably hidden by the murderer in his box."

Lu Ren could not deny it. He followed Mu Mu and began to check the boxes one by one in order.

Number one, number two, number three, number four.

After checking one by one, the so-called murder weapon was still not found.

The situation was the same as in Box No. 5. No blood reaction was detected on either the items originally in the box or the items brought by the suspect.

Then Megure and his party walked to the bathroom again, trying to find the murder weapon here.

After just some exploration, still nothing was found.

In the bathroom, the most likely place to hide something is the toilet tank.

But the murder weapon was not inside.

"There are no windows in the toilet or the box. It is impossible for the murderer to throw the murder weapon outside. Could it be that the murder weapon was flushed away by him in the toilet?"

Mu Mu couldn't help but look embarrassed. If this was really the case, then all four toilets in this bathroom would have to be dismantled and inspected one by one.

Not only the workload is heavy, but the working environment is also very harsh.

"Brother Lu Ren, what do you think?"

"Don't take it apart just yet."

If the murder weapon can really be flushed into the sewer.

Then it is likely to be soluble in water, otherwise it would clog the toilet.

The first thing Lu Ren thought of was ice cubes.

But if this thing is really used as a murder weapon, even if the toilet is removed, the most you can find is blood reaction. It is difficult to convict the murderer.

But if it wasn't ice cubes, or something of a similar nature.

Where did the murder weapon go?

You can't really beat the dead to death with a pair of iron fists from a muscular man, right?

Not to mention that it is unrealistic. There is absolutely no need for this.

If you can really beat the murderer to death with a pair of iron fists, this power is definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.

If he really had this strength, wouldn't it be easier to just break the dead man's neck?
  Hammering the murderer to death would be too laborious.

Among the four suspects present, the only one who has the ability to do this is the muscular man Yuwon.

But he only had less than five minutes to commit the crime...

In this regard, Lu Ren also asked Yingyou, the main hall, if he heard the footsteps of other people in the bathroom during the time he was squatting in the toilet.

The latter nodded in agreement, and there was not only the sound of footsteps, but also the sound of the toilet flushing.

Hondo Yingyou didn't pay attention to how long this person stayed, but he thought it must have been more than a minute.

If the testimony of our court Yingyou is correct, the muscular man's time to commit the crime will only be further shortened.

So even the people he killed definitely used some kind of tool instead of relying on his own fists.

In this reasoning process, it is not actually important whether the testimony of Bentang Yingyu is credible.

If the muscular man is the murderer and Hondo Yingyu is innocent, then there is no need for him to lie.

If this court Yingyou is the murderer, he lied.

In order to avoid direct suspicion, what Yingyou should say is not that the muscular man did come to the bathroom.

Instead, he chose to accuse and slander him, saying that he had never been to the bathroom at all.

While Lu Ren was thinking, Qianye ran over and brought back two pieces of news.

The first is the fingerprint comparison. There are no fingerprints of the four suspects on the handle of box No. 5.

Lu Ren was not surprised by this result.

The second is the developed photos.

Almost all the photos were taken from the back of Mao Lilan and the three of them.

Looking at this familiar shooting angle, Lu Ren subconsciously thought of a certain famous detective.
