Chapter 528 Fei Wo Si Cun
Maori Kogoro?!

When they heard that the unprepossessing man with a mustache in front of them was actually the famous Tokyo detective who was often reported on TV, the remaining adopted sons of the Inufushi family all looked unhappy.

Looking at the wonderful changes in expressions in front of him that were obviously comparable to those of a master of face-changing, even if Lu Ren could not read minds, he could roughly guess what they were thinking.

It was simply that the stupid policeman in Gunma was easy to fool. The two previous murders were eventually classified as accidents. It should not be difficult to fool him this time by following the same pattern.

But it would be a completely different story if the famous detective from Tokyo were to investigate the case.

Although it is still unclear what his abilities are, there is no false reputation. He must have some real abilities since he is praised so much on TV and in newspapers, right?

What if he really finds out something?

The overly obvious face-changing performances of several people were noticed not only by Lu Ren, but also by Hattori and others who had already noticed the abnormality.

In comparison, Hattori's reaction was much more direct than Lu Ren's. He raised his eyebrows and said in a mocking tone, "Why are you so nervous?"

The adopted sons of the Inufushi family seemed to realize their own gaffe, and they began to explain one after another.

"I was just a little surprised.", "Before Mr. Shinichi left, he told us...", "He had asked a police friend he knew to investigate what happened at the Inufushi family, so we should be prepared.", "But I didn't expect that the person he invited was the famous Sleeping Kogoro."

After hearing the compliments between the lines, Maori Kogoro straightened his back and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously. After coughing twice, he adjusted the tie of his suit and said in a serious tone: "When Mr. Shinichi passed away in Tokyo, who among you went to Tokyo?"

This question was originally going to be asked in front of everyone after Inubushi Saki returned.

But it doesn't hurt to ask now, since Inubushi Saki has been ruled out as a suspect.

"The four of us went to Tokyo," Inufushi Koko replied.

"Eh?"

Inubushi Yukihime: "Because we want to persuade Mr. Shinichi to come back."

Persuade to come back?!

Lu Ren raised his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on Inubushi Yukihime. He was puzzled by the reason why the other party acted like this, it was simply unbelievable.

Does she know that once Kudo Shinichi comes back, the share of the inheritance she gets will definitely be less?
Judging from the size of the Inufu family's mansion, the inheritance of the Inufu family is definitely rich enough. If she really persuaded him to come back, then her action would undoubtedly reduce her share of the inheritance.

That's not a small number.

Are you really not interested in money?
Assuming she was the murderer, she went to Tokyo to kill Kudo Shinichi. What she said just now was just a lie she made up.

But even if you are looking for an excuse, at least find one that is normal and reasonable, right?
Lu Ren turned his attention to the other adopted children, ready to see if they would have different explanations for this.

Inufushi Koko: "He seems to suspect one of us, so we want to go up and hear his reasons."

Hmm... this sounds like human language.

The words just now were so great and glorious that Lu Ren felt a little nauseous after hearing them.

It’s not that he has a dark mentality and looks down on others.

only……

Well, he is just mentally dark.

If such a great saint appeared on the Internet, Lu Ren would not applaud, but at least he would give him a thumbs up, stay for a few minutes for him, and feel moved that there are still many good people in the world.

But if such a great saint were to appear before him, then forget it...

How could he have the honor to meet such a saint?

The light is too hot and you will get burned if you get too close to it.

If a saint stops shining one day, it will be a harm to himself and others.

If he really met such a person, Lu Ren's first reaction would definitely be to question him. He would subconsciously want to take off his mask to see if he was who he said he was.

But he also knew clearly that this kind of behavior of exposing people's identities was not good. Even if he succeeded in exposing the fakes, he would not feel happy, but would only feel more disappointed in human nature.

So forget it. It's better for everyone to stay away.

Fortunately, at present, the Inufushi family still has a lot of "normal people". The remaining two adopted sons were all following Inufushi Koko's words and didn't talk to Inufushi Yukihime at all.

Inufushi Zenya: "He looked very scared and didn't say anything in the end."

Inubushi Chiaki: "It's as if one of us is the murderer."

It’s okay to ask questions, but there’s no need to bring people back.

Inufushi Koko continued, "As for the news of Shinichi's death, we learned about it from Miss Saki after we returned home."

"Wait." Lu Ren interrupted Inufushi Koko's speech, "You mean, Inufushi Saki didn't go to Tokyo with you guys?"

"No. Someone must be left to look after the house and mother."

That's not right.

During the previous casual chat, Lu Ren learned about the occupations of several people. It can be said that except for Inufushi Chiaki who is still a doctor, the others have retired early.

Simply put, do nothing.

Then why did Inubushi Saki not go to Tokyo, but Inubushi Chiaki, a doctor, went with them?
Isn't he the one who should stay and take care of the old lady?
If something unexpected happens to the old lady, he will definitely have more experience than Inubushi Saki, the housewife.

Unless he has a reason to go to Tokyo, such as to make Kudo Shinichi shut up forever.

Well, after Inubushi Yukihime, Inubushi Tomoaki has won the top spot on the list!
Of course, just like the previous number one on the list, he is now just the most likely suspect, and we cannot conclude that he is definitely the murderer.

Perhaps he went to Tokyo not because he wanted Shinichi Kudo, but because he wanted his fucking life.

Just as they were heading to Tokyo, Inufu Soshin fell ill and died. What a perfect script.

The sooner Quan Fu Suo Chen dies, the sooner they can divide the money. I can understand why they can't wait.

Moreover, although everyone knows what the disease is that Inufu Soshin has, if he really dies at the hands of Inufu Chiaki in the end, it would certainly not sound good if the news got out, and it might even affect the amount of inheritance he would eventually get.

Seeing that Lu Ren remained silent and did not ask any more questions, Mao Li felt a little strange, but he did not take it to heart. He continued to ask according to his previous investigation habits and ideas: "So did you stay together after you arrived in Tokyo? Or did anyone leave in the middle of the trip?"

This time it was Inubushi Yukihime who answered: "We went together before we left, but came back separately."

"Can you tell me the reason? Why didn't you come back together?" Lu Ren came back to his senses and continued asking.

Inubushi Koko was the first to answer: "I'm old, a little carsick, and not feeling well, so I just rested there for two more days." "I heard that there's a very effective temple in Tokyo, so I went there to burn incense and pray for my mother," Inubushi Yukihime explained.

"There happened to be a medical seminar in Tokyo during those two days, so I went there to attend and learn a lot."

"Huh?" Seeing that the other three had explained their reasons, Inufushi also faced everyone's gazes, looking a little uncomfortable. After hesitating for a while, he stammered, "I saw that they were not in a hurry to go back, so I went to Ginza to drink alone. As a result, I drank too much and missed the bus back the next day..."

"..."

It turns out that he is a fellow Maori brother...

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up slightly, and he wanted to discuss this knowledge in depth with him. However, after Maori Ran's elbow, he quickly became honest.

"Speaking of which, you should also tell us what clues you found in Mr. Shinichi's murder case?" Not only did Maori and his friends have many questions, but Inufushi Koko and his friends also had many questions. "I remember you said before that the clue was also related to the deaths of Hotaru and Migako."

"We are still unable to confirm whether there is a connection." Hattori did not continue to keep the secret like before, "We found a pearl from the tie clip of Mr. Shinichi who was killed in his mouth."

Hearing this, the adopted sons of the Inufushi family all changed their expressions again.

The change in his expression was so drastic that even the "dragon among men" Shancuncao noticed it. "What's wrong with you?"

"Because... because there was a small steel ball next to Mr. Yingci who also fell off the cliff and died!"

"Small steel balls?!" Yamamura Cao repeated in surprise, looking as if he had never participated in the previous on-site investigation.

"That uncle loves playing marbles the most, so we didn't think much about it and thought it just fell out of his pocket." When talking about his adopted brother, Inubushi Chan was full of disdain, completely unaware that going to nightclubs is not much better than playing marbles.

Inubushi Chiaki: "Not long after, I found a ping-pong ball near the swamp where Miss Migako died."

At this point, the meaning was already very clear. Hattori frowned, "Small steel balls, ping-pong balls, pearls, are all spherical objects."

"If that's the case, the pearl is not a death message left by Mr. Shinichi. Instead, it looks like some kind of mark deliberately left by the murderer." Maori was not surprised by this kind of behavior.

There are always murderers who like to mark the scene after killing someone. In his opinion, it is similar to wild dogs urinating everywhere to mark their territory. They are all excessive self-expression behaviors.

"If that's the case, then that's the same thing."

Listening to the conversation between the few people, the two sisters began to discuss in a low voice.

"What?"

"After Ms. Sato was taken away by the ambulance, we saw a glass bead on the ground." Mao Lilan replied nervously, "We thought it was a tribute, so we placed it in front of Fusataro's grave."

After hearing this, Lu Ren didn't know how to complain.

Who uses glass beads as tribute?
Looking at He Ye nodding continuously, Lu Ren now deeply realized that there was a reason why the two of them could play together.

Hattori was used to it. He turned his head and looked at Yamamura Cao, "We are going to the tomb to look at the glass beads. Officer Yamamura, are you going? I just happen to have something to ask you."

"Yeah. Let's do it together."

After that, several people started running in the corridor.

"He Ye, you stay here."

"Sister Xiaolan, you too."

Seeing that they had no intention of taking her, Mao Lilan shouted loudly: "We want to go too!"

"You can go if you want, but if you encounter a demon dog..."

"Uh, forget it." The two sisters looked at each other and suddenly felt that staying at home was a good choice.

Seeing that they had dealt with the two men, Conan and the others continued to run forward, but not long after, they stopped.

The reason is simple.

"Brother Ren, aren't you going?"

Conan and the others were almost running to the gate, but Lu Ren was still standing beside Xiaolan and the others, proving with his actions that he had no intention of returning to the crime scene.

"No, you guys go ahead. No need to wait for me." Lu Ren waved at Conan and the others, signaling them to continue.

Xiaoyou had already scanned and recorded all the data of the crime scene. He would return to the bracelet world and look at the glass bead. He also didn't think that a glass bead could contain any evidence to solve the case.

After Conan and the others left, Lu Ren joked, "Actually, what Conan said just now was a little wrong."

"Ok?"

"Look, the few times the demon dog has appeared so far are all related to the Inufushi family. So we can actually draw a conclusion that the demon dog will only exist where the Inufushi people exist. Conan and his group are not accompanied by any Inufushi people, but this side..."

Lu Ren didn't finish his words, but Mao Lilan and the others understood what he meant.

One, two, three, four. Including the old ones, there are a total of five Inufu people here!
Their faces turned pale in an instant.

The people of the Inufu family also looked unhappy, after all, they were the main characters in the arrangement. But due to Lu Ren's identity (the assistant of the great detective), they couldn't say much, and could only force a smile and said: "You worry too much, the demon dog has never appeared at home, it's safe here."

Whether they themselves believed this or not, Mao Lilan and the others definitely did not believe it. When they first came here at noon today, they also swore to do so.

[There is no curse from the demon dog at all, that's just a rumor, it's safe here. ]

The result? Inufushi performed a trapeze show for them in person that night.

"They shouldn't have gone far. If we go out and chase them now, we'll still have time."

"No, let's not go. We'll just stay here." Mao Lilan thought for a moment and shook her head decisively.

It's easy to imagine that if they use this reason to chase after them, Conan and his father will not refuse or not, but they will definitely laugh at them!

Although they are a little scared...

But we can't let them laugh like that, girls have to save face too!
Of course, the key reason that prompted Mao Lilan to make this decision was - "Brother Ren, you will protect us, right?"

"Yeah. Of course."

You know this without asking.

Not to mention other places, but as long as they stay by his side and don't run around, Lu Ren is still confident that he can protect them.

As for the demon dog, if it really gets pushed into a corner, I wonder how many high-explosive grenades it can withstand?

As for the magic side, it’s not like he hasn’t beaten it before…
