Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 511
  Seeing Mugu admit the matter, Matsumoto could not directly refute Mugu's face, so he chose to remain silent.

And his attitude naturally means that the police have taken a step back. In this case, Lu Ren will not continue to pursue and fight fiercely, and the matter will be revealed.

Lu Ren sorted out his thoughts and returned the topic to the case itself, "Apart from the scars? Is there any other evidence that can identify the suspect?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga: "When the murderer committed the crime, he was wearing a hat and a beard. It seemed that he had specially disguised himself. It was basically impossible to identify the murderer from his appearance. And after all, it had been twenty years. Now, the appearance will definitely change a lot."

"What about the fingerprints? Didn't you take the samurai sword from the prisoner's hand? Didn't he have his fingerprints on it? And didn't you also cut him? There should be blood stains on the sword."

"The murderer had been wearing gloves, and his fingerprints were not detected on the knife. As for blood stains, the knife was the murder weapon he used to commit serial murders. There were too many people's blood on it to detect his blood alone. "

After committing consecutive crimes, he still disguised himself and always wore gloves.

This person's vigilance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities are very strong.

Wait, in that case...

"Then how can you be sure that the case fifteen years ago was also committed by him?"

"Because we have not fully disclosed the murderer's specific killing methods to the outside world. The killing methods of the case fifteen years ago are very similar to those of twenty years ago. The possibility of copycat crimes can basically be ruled out."

"Twenty years ago, fifteen years ago." Maoli muttered in a low voice while still trying to mobilize his memories.

Fortunately, he finally got something, he said excitedly, "I remembered, was it the case where letters were carved on the back with a knife?"

"That's right." Mu Mu nodded and continued to explain to Lu Ren: "The murderer first stunned the victim with a stun gun, then killed him with a knife, and then carved English letters on his back. Because we concealed it from the outside world The existence of letters has been eliminated, so this method is basically impossible to imitate and commit crimes.”

This little Japanese is quite fancy.

Lu Ren then asked: "Besides, does the murderer have any other characteristics?"

"The prisoner likes to whistle a tune."

"But the Chief of Police..." Maori prisoner said, "Twenty years have passed. It's unlikely that the prisoner still likes that song, right?"

"No, this possibility is actually very high." Lu Ren agreed with Matsumoto Kiyonaga this time and gave a corresponding explanation, "The murderer used the same technique in two consecutive murder cases twenty years ago. .”

"Five years later, when the samurai sword was taken away, he changed his knife and insisted on using the same killing method. In addition to being seen as a provocation to the police, this behavior can also reflect, The murderer is likely to be an extremely conformist and conservative person."

"Yes, we the police think so too." Matsumoto Kiyonaga hesitated for a moment and came up with a guess, "And we guess that the song the murderer whistled has a special meaning to him."

"Special meaning? What meaning, what is that song?"

"We can't tell you this for now. We need to ask you to do something."

Mumu then replied, "We hope you will try it out to see what songs they usually like to hum. If you know that song in advance, you will probably reveal your flaws by then. This will allow you to be noticed by the hidden murderer. .”

There is some truth to this statement...

Maoli had already raised his hands in salute, indicating that he would definitely be able to complete this task.

Hmm... He probably recalled his past career as a police officer and regarded this matter as a task assigned to him by his superiors.

After Matsumoto Kiyonaga explained a few more words, Maori turned and left. Lu Ren did not go back with him.

Megure's statement is reasonable, but for gathering information, Maori alone is enough.

"Brother Maori has left. Now can you tell me what that song is?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't insist anymore and said directly: "That song is "Let It Be"."

A Beatles song?
  Lu Ren had heard this song in his previous life. It was written and performed by The Beatles in 1970.

The Beatles are known as one of the greatest rock bands in the world, and "Let It Be" was their last song before they broke up, and it is very famous.

This song has been sung for twenty years, which is quite normal.

But if it had any special meaning, Lu Ren couldn't think of it for a while. In his previous life, he had only listened to this song and had not delved into its connotation.

And after any work is created, the right of interpretation no longer belongs exclusively to the creator himself.

Different people have different opinions on this.

Who knows what the murderer thought of this song.

Forget it, just ask the police directly.

"What's the special meaning?"

"We don't know either. This is just a guess. The reason is because we have seen him shed tears when humming this song."

"..."

No wonder it's just a guess.

If you cry while humming, you might just have something stuck in your eyes.

"Apart from this, are there any other clues?"

"This scar on my face." Matsumoto Kiyonaga touched his left eye. "When I approached the murderer again fifteen years ago, it suddenly became very painful. Now that I have come outside this villa, it hurts again. .”

"..."

Is it possible that people in your Kexue world have super powers?

Huiyuan has a winery radar that can accurately identify who has worked in the winery.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga This is scar radar. As soon as you get close to the prisoner, the scar will hurt.

"In that case, why don't you take both of them away and interrogate them separately. Whoever caused you scar pain is the murderer."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga shook his head, "How can solving a case be such a child's play?"

It's as if what you just said was nothing but a joke...

"But it really can't be delayed any longer. There are only three days left for the prosecution of the case fifteen years ago. Mr. Lu Ren, I'd like to ask you to find out who is the benefactor of the villa owner. After finding this person , we will take the other person away for investigation."

"Then you must be prepared to take away two people at the same time."

"What do you mean? Those two people are liars?"

“One is a liar, and the other may be both a savior and a murderer.”

It's just that this is a bit troublesome to explain, and it won't be long before he comes out.

"Forget it, let me go in and investigate first."

After saying that, Lu Ren turned around and walked back to the villa.

After entering the house, Lu Ren immediately saw the Maori couple.

"Have I told you about this?" "Yeah." Mao Lilan lowered his voice, "One of those two people was a murderer fifteen years ago. Now the two of them are going to the bathroom to take a bath with their father. Take a shower."

"Well, just leave this matter to Brother Maori. Our mission is still to find who is Ms. Walnut's savior."

It's still a bit outrageous to find the murderer just by whistles. And even if you find it, so what?

"Let It Be" is not an unpopular song, it is quite popular.

The person who hums this song must not be the murderer.

And there is no blood or fingerprints, and even a song cannot convict him.

It is better to find the savior first, at least Ms. Walnut should give more clues.

Since he knew the police's arrangements and the inside story in advance, Lu Ren felt that today's commission would not continue in the direction of a murder case.

That being the case...

Lu Ren looked at Conan, who was looking down in thought, "What do you think? Do you have any ideas?"

"Ah? Me?" Conan was obviously not expecting Lu Ren's sudden question. He never thought that Lu Ren would take the initiative to ask his opinion.

But Conan didn't hide it, he directly expressed his opinion.

"I think those two are not the real Gari-kun. The first reason is what you said before, Brother Ren. If Gari-kun is a very upright person and feels guilty about this matter, he will not take the initiative to stand up. Came out to claim the bonus.”

"Well, continue."

"The second is that the length of the scar is wrong."

"The length is wrong?" Mao Lilan asked strangely, "Didn't Ms. Walnut say that the wound was from one armpit to the other armpit? It's the same for both of them."

"Sister Xiaolan, the length of the scar remains unchanged. Gari-kun was only about ten years old when he was injured. His shoulder width should be 15cm, so the scar should be about 15cm."

"Is that so..."

"Uh-huh."

"No, not necessarily. Whether the scar will continue to grow will be discussed based on the score."

Lu Ren directly refuted Conan's point of view, "Scars are also called scars and can be divided into ordinary scars and hypertrophic scars. The former generally will not continue to grow, while the latter will continue to grow."

"Of course, no matter how long it is, it is completely impossible to grow from 15cm to 30cm. So my opinion is, either they are both liars. Or it is Gari-kun back then who went astray in adulthood. .”

"The knife Matsumoto Kiyonaga slashed at him happened to hit his old wound. The two overlapped, and the scar changed from 15cm to 30cm."

"There should be a difference between old and new scars, right?"

Lu Ren: "I would have definitely noticed the difference when I was first chopped. But now fifteen years have passed..."

"If it's like what you said, Brother Ren, then this is too sad... The young man who sacrificed his life to save others turned into a murderer with bloody hands when he grew up." Mao Lilan's emotions became visible to the naked eye. Very low.

"This is just a guess, and the probability of this guess is very low. Cheer up and don't be so pessimistic."

"Um……"

"By the way, Brother Maori went to take a bath, why don't you go?"

The Japanese people's love for bathing is ingrained in their bones. No matter how small the room is, there must be a bathtub in it.

And today I live in a mansion, and the experience of taking a bath in a mansion is quite rare.

"Well, I originally wanted to hang out with Conan. But Conan refused. Then I didn't plan to continue hanging out."

Oh--

Lu Ren looked at Conan with a somewhat teasing smile in his eyes. The latter's face also turned red visibly.

He lowered his head and avoided looking at Lu Ren.

It can't be said that he was at a loss at that time, but he just refused out of habit out of boyish reserve, and Xiaolan probably took it seriously.

Now that I think about it, it's a good thing he refused. Otherwise, there will be another chapter in the dark history.

Conan could imagine how Lu Ren and Haiyuan, the poisonous partners, would ridicule him.

Half an hour later, Mao Li came out of the bathroom and met Lu Ren and the others.

His expression at this time was rare and serious. He looked behind him to make sure no one was following him, and then lowered his voice and said: "Butler Baogu also has a horizontal scar on his back. He may also be a murderer back then. "

"He does too?" A little hope suddenly emerged in Mao Lilan's heart. She asked urgently but very carefully, "How long is that scar?"

"How long? About 15cm. Don't think this scar is short, but it's possible that Inspector Matsumoto remembered it wrong at the time. After all, he had an eye injury and couldn't remember the pros and cons of the wound, let alone the length of the scar. said."

"It turns out it's him. Dad, the butler is Gari-kun!"

"what?"

Conan then explained it on his behalf.

"I see." After solving one question, Maori soon faced a new one, "But this doesn't make sense. If the butler was Gari-kun back then, why didn't he take the initiative to stand up? Just watch helplessly. Two impostors deceived Ms. Walnut?”

Lu Ren: "He probably still feels guilty. That's why he never dared to recognize Ms. Hutao. But I think the latter couldn't wait any longer, so he took the initiative to set up this trap."

"Set up? Are you saying that Ms. Walnut already knows who the real Gari-kun is?"

"I guess so, otherwise I can't explain her abnormal behavior. Although the time we have been dealing with her is still very short, brother, you should be able to feel that Ms. Walnut is by no means a fool."

"If that's the case, then why did she reveal all the details on TV? The reason why she did this is that the real Gari-kun has always been by her side."

"Then why did she call me over? She was just kidding me!"

Seeing that Mao Li seemed really angry, Lu Ren directly started to praise her, "I think it's because she wants to use the wisdom of the famous detective."

"Oh?"

"Ms. Walnut's initial assumption was that as long as this situation was set up, the real Mr. Gari would take the initiative to stand up and confess to her. But she didn't expect that Gari would be so tolerant and never come forward for so many days. The matter fell into a trap There was a deadlock, so she came to seek your help, brother."

"That's it..." Maoli nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to look at his dog-headed military advisor Lu, "Then what should we do now?"

"Confront her directly. See what she thinks. After all, there is still a murder case waiting for us, and we can't continue to waste time on this kind of thing."

"That's right. Let's go!"

ps: On January 2005, 1, Japan amended the bill to extend the statute of limitations for public prosecutions, and the statute of limitations for homicide was extended from 1 years to 15 years. On April 25, 2010, the statute of limitations for public prosecutions was extended again, and the prosecution of homicide is no longer subject to the statute of limitations.

However, this bill targets new cases and previous cases are not included. For example, in the serial murder case mentioned this time fifteen years ago, the prosecution period is still 15 years. For homicide cases after 05, the prosecution period is 25 years, and for homicide cases after 10 years, the prosecution period is unlimited.
