Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 574: Love Confession
In the first round of investigation, the police found three suspects: two women and one man.

When Lu Ren arrived at the interrogation room, Gao Mu's interrogation was nearing its end.

They have already questioned the first two female suspects and are now focusing on the testimony of the final male suspect.

Lu Ren did not disturb them, but picked up the interrogation materials of the first two suspects and looked at them first.

The first suspect is Kikuna Kagetani, 25 years old, who has a bosozoku background and claimed that she was watching a football match at home at the time of the incident.

The reason for the feud with the deceased was that Sumida Akira stole the belongings of Kikuna Kagetani's mother.

Because she was short of money, Kikuna Kentani went to the pawn shop run by the deceased to pawn the ring left to her by her mother.

But when the pawn period expired, she still couldn't raise enough money, so she went to ask Sumida Akira to extend the period, but was rejected and ridiculed by the deceased.

[That worthless ring has been pawned. As for the one on my hand, although it looks very similar to your mother's, it is actually a completely different thing, and even the value is more than ten times different.]

Kikuna Kagaya also claimed that if last night's football match had not been so crucial, she would have been the one who turned into the murderer and killed people last night.

The second suspect is Takimoto Aiko, 31 years old. She claimed that she did not go to work at the time of the incident because she had a bad cold and stayed at home all day.

The reason for the feud was that the deceased sold fake goods.

Takimoto Aiko previously bought an antique dinner plate worth 500,000 yen at Sumida Akira's pawn shop, but it was identified by experts as a fake worth only 300 yen.

She went to ask Sumida Akira to return the product, but she turned the tables and said that she had switched the product and found a fake one. She didn't even admit that the plate came from her pawn shop.

Takimoto Aiko was so angry that she hired a professional team of lawyers to collect materials to sue Sumida Akira.

The third suspect is Ryusuke Mitama, 27 years old, who is currently talking to the police.

By the time Lu Ren finished reading the information of the first two people, the police had almost finished questioning Jian Yu Liujie.

Lu Ren walked out of the interrogation room with Takagi and Sato. He asked Takagi for the recording equipment and listened to Jianyu Liujie's testimony as he walked.

The reason why this person became enemies with Sumida Akira was very simple: he owed Sumida Akira five million and had not repaid him.

Jianyu's neighbor also testified that the day before his death, Sumida Akira ran to Jianyu's apartment and yelled at him to pay back the money.

However, Jianyu himself has another explanation for this.

He had already agreed with Sumida Akira on how to repay the money. As for Sumida Akira coming to collect the debt roaring, he called it an excuse to come looking for him.

As for the reason——"That woman must be fascinated by me, fascinated by me, the former hero of Koshien."

After listening to the recording, Lu Ren returned the device to Gao Mu who was standing beside him.

In terms of the motive for murder alone, Mitama Ryusuke had the most complete motive for murder, followed by Kagetani Kikuna, and Takimoto Ako was last.

Let’s talk about Takimoto Aiko first. A dinner plate worth 500,000 yen is certainly not cheap, but is it really worth killing someone for that money?

As long as you calm down and think about it, you will know that this is totally not worth it.

Of course, sometimes the murderer kills not for money, but simply because he can't get over it.

But in order to vent her anger, Takimoto Ako had already spent a lot of money to hire a team of lawyers to sue Sumida Akira. Why would she go to the trouble of killing someone?

Since she has the money and is willing to pay it, even if the lawyer can't deal with Sumida Akira, she has plenty of ways to deal with Sumida Akira. There is no need to go to extremes.

And Xiaolin Chengzi's testimony can also indirectly prove this point. According to her, the murderer shouted at the beginning: "Give me that thing quickly, or I will kill you!"

If it was Takimoto Ameko who was there, she could just threaten Sumida Akira to return the money to her. There was no need to use that thing to refer to money.

The situation of Kikuna Kanaya is consistent with Kobayashi Touko's testimony. "That thing" could refer to the ring her mother left her.

The ring itself is probably not worth much money, but it has special meaning to Kikuna Kaedani, so it is not excessive to kill someone for it.

But if it was Kikuna Kentani who said it, she should have said to return "that thing" to her instead of giving it to her. Lu Ren was most suspicious of Jian Yu Liu Jie.

Five million is not a small sum, and the creditor is Sumida Akira, a top-notch person in the world. That's even more terrible.

Furthermore, the explanation given by Jian Yu Liujie was too ridiculous.

If Sumida Akira really fell in love with him, then the best thing to do is not to write off the debt? Even if it is not written off, you can let him pay it back slowly.

But what Sumida Akira actually did was to go to the house and make a scene.

What is this? Did she learn her love skills from the tsundere young ladies in old anime?
Are you kidding...

Even if you have no self-awareness, there should be a limit.

The only problem is that his gender doesn't match Kobayashi Touko's testimony.

The latter swore and repeatedly reiterated that the murderer was a woman.

This is a place worthy of attention, but as for how important it is, in Lu Ren's opinion, it is just that-so.

Eyes and senses can be deceiving.

Kobayashi Chengzi didn't see the murderer's face, and the key evidence for her to determine the murderer's gender was "the murderer has plump breasts."

But was the plump bulge that Xiaolin Chengzi saw at the beginning really the murderer’s breast?
Is it possible that the murderer stuffed the weapon into his arms while escaping? This action caused the clothes to be lifted up, thus creating a visual illusion?

Or, it is possible that the murderer did not zip up his coat, and when he ran away after killing the person, the wind blew and the coat was blown up.

There are many similar reasons...

"Since Mr. Kobayashi said the murderer was a woman, then it has nothing to do with the third suspect."

Compared to Lu Ren's prudence, Gao Mu seems much more optimistic.

"By the way, Mr. Lu Ren, could you please give this recording device to Officer Shiratori? Miwako and I have something else to do."

"no problem."

"Huh? I also want to meet that teacher Kobayashi. I really want to see who can be so obsessed with Shiratori." Sato Miwako looked very disappointed.

"There will be a chance, there will be a chance." Takagi nodded to Lu Ren, then he put his hand on Sato's shoulder and almost pushed her forward.

[Takagi seems to be deliberately avoiding meeting Sato and Kobayashi. ]

Lu Ren realized this immediately.

Ok……

It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with solving the case anyway.

Lu Ren withdrew his gaze, turned and walked into the meeting room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Bai Niao standing up from his chair. "Mr. Lu Ren, this is the suspect's testimony, right? Just give it to me."

After Lu Ren handed over the equipment, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, which was obviously different from before.

Before leaving, Xiaolin Chengzi was still flirting with Shiratori, playing "I only have eyes for you". Now, he is completely different.

She just lowered her head and looked gloomy, and the words "I'm worried about something" were almost written on her face.

Out of habit, Lu Ren casually threw out an appraisal.

[Homo sapiens (sadness, anger, pain, sorrow, trance...)]

Huh?
