Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 503 Straight to the Core
  She likes everything, but people don't know what she really likes.

Lu Ren thought about it for a while, and finally decided to communicate directly with Shiina Hua to see what she wanted.

Gifts given in this way will lose the sense of surprise brought by the unknown, but correspondingly, the fright will also be reduced.

Shiina Hua really can't think of anything, Lu Ren also has other solutions.

For example...a complete set of physique-enhancing potions.

It's just that it will definitely be an extremely long process to fully realize this gift.

After all, Lu Ren himself has only taken the third pill now.

Using this as a gift seems a bit empty talk.

In addition to this, I also need to give Shiina Hana some visible gifts in the short term.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren called Shiina Hua back.

"Is dinner ready?" The latter ran back excitedly, and soon showed disappointment after seeing the empty dining table.

"It will take a while for the eels to come. I have something to tell you, Xiaohua."

"Oh." Shiina Hana sat back to her previous position.

Then it’s like this, this, and this.

"Huh? That President Shirota gave Brother Jin half of your shares as a thank you gift? That's amazing!"

"Uh. You don't know about this at all?"

The latter shook his head decisively.

"I usually don't watch the news."

"Ok."

Lu Ren originally thought that Shiina Hua was worried and did not want to take the initiative to mention the matter, but now it seems that he is simply overthinking it.

"Xiaohua, that half of the shares is a lot of money. You have a share in it."

"Do you have my share?" Shiina seemed not to understand what Lu Ren meant for a while. After a while, she hurriedly shook her head, "That share has nothing to do with me, and I didn't help much. Can President Shirota be killed?" If he was rescued safely, I am already very happy."

"You were a great help. If you hadn't persuaded me to crack the code and save people, I would have forgotten about this matter long ago. Not to mention what happened afterwards..."

"Brother Ren, you don't need to say any more!" Shiina Hua forcibly interrupted Lu Ren's words. She closed her eyes and waved her hands wildly in the direction of Lu Ren, "I will never take anything that is not mine! If you really want to Thank me, then today’s eel rice is a thank you gift!”

Hmm... Since you don't need money, let's arrange some physical potions for her.

"Then, do you want to add a coupon for a trip to the hot spring hotel? Natural hot springs, free food and accommodation." Lu Ren asked with a smile.

"Um, it seems, um."

"Then add a kaiseki meal coupon. Don't worry, these coupons are given by friends and are not worth much. And it is a multi-person meal coupon. It would be a waste for me to go alone, and you are a family."

"Then, um..."

"There are also VIP tickets to the amusement park, which allow you to enjoy all the entertainment facilities in the amusement park and enjoy dedicated VIP channels without queuing. You can eat inside and buy peripheral toys for free."

"This is also a gift from a friend. You know, I don't usually go to these places. It's a waste to have it in my hand."

"Uh-huh."

"There is also a travel voucher for a three-day trip to Okinawa, for a group of three to four people, including food and accommodation."

"There are also luxury cruise VIP tickets, which allow you to see beautiful scenery and eat delicious food from all over the world. All kinds of entertainment facilities are also available on the ship, so you can do whatever you want."

"Huh? Isn't this last one very expensive?" Shiinahua suddenly became alert.

Shiina Tong on the side lowered his head silently, saying that the first few were very cheap.

"They were all given by friends, and it would be a waste to put them in my hands. I happened to remember that Xiaohua, you don't like taking pictures. You can take pictures of the beautiful scenery around the world and send them back to me in the form of postcards."

"You also know that I have been busy and can't easily leave Tokyo, let alone Japan. You can go out for me and take more photos. I will also be able to learn more about the outside world in this way. "

"Yeah, yeah. Keep it on me!"

Get it done.

Now, by arranging her in this way, I won't owe her anything for the time being, and then I'll wait for the physical potion in the future.

After all, there were Xiao Ai and Bei Dao in front of her. When it's her turn, I'm afraid it won't be many years later.

"The eel rice is ready, let's eat."

"Okay."

……

After the meal, Lu Ren received a call from Mao Lilan. He first sent the Shiina siblings home, then turned the car around and headed straight for the destination given by Mao Lilan.

Come to life!
  This place happened to be not far from Shiina's house, and Lu Ren rushed over within five minutes.

Mao Lilan was standing at the door to greet him.

"Hmm? Brother Ren, are you eating eel rice tonight? It smells like eel."

"Your nose is quite sharp. Have you eaten? If not, I will take you to eat eel rice once this matter is settled."

"We've eaten, we've eaten. We ate Western-style kaiseki cuisine." The latter waved his hands repeatedly.

Western kaiseki cuisine...

What is that?
  Isn’t Kaiseki a traditional Japanese high-end cuisine? How does this have anything to do with the West?

Is it possible to eat kaiseki in the same way as western food?
  Wouldn't that mean removing the essence and taking out the dross...

"This Western-style kaiseki meal, is it delicious?"

“The taste is okay, but the portion is small.”

"That's okay."

Lu Ren walked into the house and met Fei Yingli. The latter didn't show any politeness and soon told him the ins and outs of their trip.

Feiyingli accepted the commission from former national judo ace Yuko Arisawa today. Yuko suspects that her husband, Tsuburo, is panicking because he is being followed.

But this may also be Arisawa Tsuburo's illusion, and Eri decided to go to her house to investigate whether there were bugs or hidden cameras.

But before that, Fei Yingli and his party had dinner with Yuko Arisawa at the restaurant, and then came to Yuko's house after finishing the meal.

After entering the door, Tsuburo Arisawa's shoes were placed at the entrance, but he was nowhere to be found.

Yuko Arisawa searched for a while but couldn't find it, so she had no choice but to start calling Tsuburo Arisawa.

Conan then followed the sound of the phone ringing and found the dead Tsuburo Arisawa in the storage room.

After Fei Yingli's introduction, Lu Ren glanced at the short-haired woman standing not far away.

Hearing Fei Yingli say that this is a former national champion in judo competition, we can indeed see some clues, and he has a fierce aura about him.

But...well, it's still very weak.

Whether she can beat Mao Lilan, who has stopped training, is anyone's guess. Of course, it is still easy to kill an ordinary person.

According to Fei Yingli, Arisawa Tsuburo's death might have been caused by the stalker, or it might have been that the widow in front of him killed her husband with her own hands.

If it was the latter, Lu Ren couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

What happened to him recently? He encountered three cases in a row, all of which were wives killing their husbands.

A high frequency is a bit too much.

If we add to this the incident of a Hammerhead girl indiscriminately hurting people some time ago.

Further back, there was an incident where a barber murdered his ex-boyfriend.

Are there too many female criminals these days?

Lu Ren put this idea aside for the time being, and was still not sure that Yuko Arisawa must have done it. We can't just be preconceived.

After all, it allowed Fei Yingli to temporarily take a break from the busy company affairs. The person in front of him must have a close relationship with Fei Yingli.

Lu Ren asked Conan to lead the way and planned to observe the remains first to see if he could find any useful clues.

The space in the storage room is very small. Tsuburo Arisawa is sitting on the floor with a pile of storage boxes behind him.

There were obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased. It was initially speculated that he was strangled by a thin rope and suffocated to death.

The deceased was wearing a suit, but there were basically no big wrinkles on the clothes. It shows that the deceased did not struggle much during his lifetime.

It can be inferred from this that the murderer was very strong and could forcibly suppress an adult male.

Or maybe he was given sleeping pills and strangled in his sleep.

If it's the latter...

Lu Ren moved his eyes away from the deceased and instead focused on the closed door next to him. He tried to push the door open and found that it was the back door of the courtyard house, and when he went out from this door, he was facing the garage of the house.

Lu Ren pointed to the white car in the garage, "Did she drive you here this time?"

Conan replied: "Yeah."

"Has she never left your sight since entering the house?"

"No. Ms. Yuko said she wanted to find her husband, so we were waiting for her in the living room while looking at the trophies." Xiaolan added, "Ms. Yuko is very good. The living room is filled with her trophies."

living room……

It happens to be a blind spot in the field of vision.

The storage room where the deceased was found is right next to the back door of the house, and you can see your car when you go out.

It's hard to say this is just a coincidence.

Assuming that the murderer was Yuko Arisawa, she put her husband's body in the trunk of the car. After returning home, she moved the body to the storage room near the back door in the name of looking for her husband.

It's definitely impossible to kill him now.

Lu Ren also knows some simple autopsy techniques. It is now 9:40 in the evening, Mao Lilan called him around 9:30, and the death time of the body was about half an hour ago.

That is between nine and nine ten.

Lu Ren told Conan and the others his speculations.

"Ah? This is impossible." Mao Lilan's reaction was particularly fierce. As soon as she heard that Lu Ren suspected Arisawa Yuko's murderer, she hurriedly defended her senior and idol, "We have been staying together tonight, Ms. Yuko She didn’t have time to commit the crime.”

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, "Does she have an alibi?"

"No, not necessarily." Before Mao Lilan continued to nod, Fei Yingli denied her daughter's statement, "You forgot, during dinner tonight, she left for about ten minutes on the excuse of going to the toilet. Then It will be exactly nine o'clock in the evening."

Due to professional habits, Fei Yingli is extremely time-sensitive.

Moreover, an acquaintance of the hairdresser personally demonstrated the one-minute quick-kill method. She now really feels that ten minutes is enough to do a lot of things.

"Then what you are saying is that Ms. Yuko killed her husband within ten minutes of leaving here and then threw him into the trunk of the car. But this is not right either."

Mao Lilan thought for a while, and then raised a new question, "But when we were at the office tonight, my mother had a phone call with Mr. Tsuburo Arisawa. He was at the funeral at that time, and he said that he would not attend until later tonight. go back."

"We were at the hotel at nine o'clock. If it was Ms. Yuko who killed the person, she would never be able to run far in ten minutes. It can't be that Mr. Shirō Arisawa's place of worship is nearby, right?"

Mao Lilan's statement is quite reasonable.

Fei Yingli also added: "I had a phone call with Mr. Tsuburo Arisawa at 7:30, and we made an appointment to meet here at 9:25 tonight."

Called at 7:30, died at 9:00, with an interval of one and a half hours.

At the same time, we made an appointment to meet at nine twenty-five.

It is assumed that Tsuguro Arisawa immediately left the venue from the moment he received the call.

In the two hours in between, if you drive, you can cover the entire Tokyo metropolitan area.

If we were to find out which house was doing the ritual tonight, we would really have to survey more than 30 million people.

It can be done, but the manpower and material resources required are too staggering. Not worth it.

Yuko Arisawa's range of activities is limited to the vicinity of that hotel. Her husband is practicing elsewhere.

Yuko Arisawa had enough time to commit the crime, but the deceased was not with her.

So what is this, the deceased had his own alibi?

Wait, alibi?

The murderer's alibi can be forged. Why can't the deceased's alibi be forged?

"Lawyer Fei, are you sure that the person you are speaking to is the person he is talking to? Is it possible that a recording or voice changer was used on the other side?"

When he said this, Lu Ren glanced at a little boy with an absolute sense of music.

"Recording is basically impossible. As for the voice changer, the voice may be very similar after processing, but the way and tone of speaking are difficult to imitate."

Conan broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. He also made up his mind to never play with his voice changer in front of Fei Yingli in the future.

"Are you familiar with the victim?"

"Yes. Actually, the first person I met was Mr. Tsuburo Arisawa. He was involved in a traffic case and I helped him handle it. We communicated with him many times during this period. Later I found out that his wife is a former judo The champion, Ms. Yuko Arisawa. Gradually, we became so familiar.”

Lu Ren nodded.

Fei Yingli's words are quite credible.

Since she said it was Tsuburo Arizawa on the other end of the phone, it meant that at 7:30, it was indeed him on the other end of the phone.

But it doesn’t mean that Tsuburo Arisawa’s alibi must be true.

After all, it's just a phone call.

Instead of someone witnessing it with their own eyes, Tsuburo Arisawa happened to be in a certain place at what time.

Even the evidence of staying in a certain place for a certain time may be false.

Anyway, regardless of why Arisawa Tsuburo wanted to fake it, let’s assume that Arisawa Tsuburo will happen to be near the hotel at nine o’clock.

Under this general premise, what the murderer Yuko Arisawa had to do was to find and strangle her husband, and then put her husband's body in the trunk of the car.

If this crime was really committed by Yuko Arisawa, then the place where she committed the crime must be near her car.

This makes it easier to hide the body!

"Where is the restaurant where you are dining tonight? Did she drive you there in her car? Do you still remember where she parked the car?"

"The hotel is near the office, and we walked there. As for the car, according to her, it was parked in the underground garage from the beginning."

"Is that so?"

Lu Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this person was unexpectedly easy to deal with.

He had previously considered that Tsuburo Arizawa was hiding in a dark corner near a hotel, Yuko Arizawa drove over and killed him, then packed the body and drove the car back to the original place.

Now, it is much simpler.

This type of private underground parking lot is staffed and charged.

In other words, Arisawa Yuko could not easily move the car's position.

It takes about ten minutes to drive to Fei's Law Firm from here. If they want to get here at 9:30, they must leave the underground parking lot before 9:20.

If Yuko Arisawa parked the car after killing the person, she would have parked her car around nine-five and left at nine-twenty.

This is a bit too conspicuous.

Riku Ren prefers that Yuko Arisawa did park the car in the underground parking lot from the beginning.

The place where Tsuburo Arisawa was killed was also in that parking lot!

If that were the case, things would be much simpler.

"As soon as Officer Megure and the others arrive, I will ask them to investigate the surveillance of the hotel's underground parking lot and the driving recorders of the vehicles parked in that underground parking lot."

"You mean the people she killed under that killer?"

"Well, if she really did it, then the underground parking lot is the only place where she committed the crime. Unless there is a secret passage in that parking lot that allows her to drag the body from other places to her own car in the parking lot. in the trunk."

"Brother Keren, isn't Mr. Tsuburo Arisawa doing something? Why did he appear in the underground parking lot of that hotel?"

"I don't know about that. But when it comes to what he's doing, it's probably a pretense. For example, a few people made an appointment to have dinner together, and one of them kept dawdling, and others called to remind him. He was still at home at this time. He was waiting, but he said he was already on the way and would be there soon. The phone call cannot be trusted after all."

Of course, even if you see it with your own eyes, you may not believe it.

"Ms. Yuko Arisawa saw through his lies and set up this trap. As for whether it is true or not, we will know after checking the surveillance and driving recorders."

"As long as we can find evidence that Tsuguro Arisawa appeared near the hotel around nine o'clock tonight, her alibi will be self-defeating. Of course, the video clip of her murdering her husband can be directly found in the driving recorder. That’s even better.”

"No need to bother, I killed the person."

Yuko Arisawa suddenly appeared behind them.

Except for Mao Lilan, no one else present was surprised.

Lu Ren was the first to discover this fact, so he deliberately raised his voice a little higher in his subsequent deductions.

"A driving recorder? I have this thing installed in my car. After the traffic accident, my husband immediately installed one in the car. I thought it was useless at the time, but I didn't expect it to be used today. Used."

"The recorder did not capture the scene of me strangling him, but it should have captured the scene of me carrying his body. I think this should be enough to convict me."

"That's right." Lu Ren said with a smile, "Technology changes life."
