Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Lu Ren took the knife and fork and lowered his head to start cooking.

The movement was so swift and precise that Sato was stunned for a moment.

What's wrong with this? You don't follow the process.

She looked at Lu Ren, and after a minute or two, she came back to her senses under the stimulation of the aroma of food.

He clasped his hands together and whispered "I'm starting."

Just then he picked up the knife and fork and lowered his head to eat.

"I'm ready" is considered table manners in Japan. You should shout this before eating, just like shouting "I'm back" after returning home.

Lu Ren knew, but he had never done this.

He's not from here.

A quarter of an hour later, Sato put down the tableware and saw that Lu Ren was still working hard with his head down. The plate in front of him was mostly empty.

Just half the pasta and one hamburger.

These two things are disappearing at an alarming rate.

Sato couldn't help but sigh that she had wrongly blamed Lu Ren just now.

This guy can really eat, and he definitely has a place in the Big Eater Competition.

Sato took out his wallet and stood up to pay.

After Sato came back after paying the bill, Lu Ren also finished his meal and was waiting for her at his seat.

"How was your meal?"

"Not bad, 70% full." Lu Ren stood up from his seat, "Let's go and chat somewhere else. Is there any park nearby?"

"Yes, come with me."

Lu Ren sat in a Sato Porsche and arrived at a small park attached.

It was noon and the weather was still hot.

There was no one in the park except them.

Sato parked the car and walked to the bench under the shade of the tree.

Lu Ren sat next to her.

"We've eaten this meal, now we can talk about the case of Chou Silang." Sato stared at Lu Ren with bright eyes.

"Yes. The murderer back then was your father's friend. He was the hook-nosed man who presented the flowers just now." Lu Ren said.

"Uncle Luye? Where is the evidence?"

"The evidence is"

Lu Ren read out the standard answer according to the script.

Sato was stunned for a while before he accepted this cruel fact.

Her beloved elder was the murderer of her father.

"Actually, the person next to me misheard, Chou Silang." Lu Ren watched the dried leaves falling from the sky, "What your father really shouted was, 'surrender yourself.'"

The evidence is here: The interpretation method of カンオ is to recombine the Roman sound KANO of the three katakana into KANO (かの) the pronunciation of Kano Shuji's surname. (The clue given on the Shinagawa Station signboard for solving the crime is that the part written in Roman pronunciation SHINA in Shinagawa can be divided into SHINA or SHINA)

In the footage captured on the bank's surveillance camera, the prisoner used the butt of his gun to attack the guard in the same manner as Kano's special shot. (Officer Sato often heard his father say that Shuji Kano’s hitting style was special but he was very powerful when he was a child.)

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 245 The winner is decided (four thousand words in one)

The sun is scorching, the cicadas are chirping, and the heat wave is rolling.

After an unknown amount of time, Sato stood up and walked forward without saying a word.

"Where are you going?" Lu Ren saw this and called out to her.

"Go and confront him!" Sato said without looking back.

"Don't worry, come back!"

When the weather is hot, people's hearts become impetuous.

According to the past, Lu Ren would be calm and adopt a gentler approach to handle this matter.

But now, he just wants to use the simplest way.

That was to raise his voice and call Sato back with a commanding tone.

Facts have proved that the effect is not bad.

Sato stopped, turned around and stood still, looking at Lu Ren, "What else do you want?"

"If you go now, you won't be able to avenge your father. If you want to go, you have to wait until night, close to twelve o'clock."

"Even if that happens, so what? The prosecution period of the case is fifteen years. It has been eighteen years since my father passed away, and the prosecution period has long expired."

"No. Go at night, there will be fewer people. It will be easier to kill him." Lu Ren smiled and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

".Are you serious?"

"It's up to you. If you ask me, I will definitely do this. The hatred of killing relatives is irreconcilable."

Even under Sato's death gaze, Lu Ren's smile remained unchanged.

"In front of a police officer, if you say something like this, can I consider you to be provocative?"

"Whatever you think. Anyway, I will do it. Anyway." Lu Ren slowly stopped smiling, "If I really want to commit a crime, at your level, there is nothing you can do to me."

"you!"

Sato clenched his fists, took two steps forward, and then stopped, "I really still hate you."

"You can tell your true feelings. It would be better if you did this earlier." Lu Ren stood up from the chair, picked a fresh leaf, and slowly tore it along the veins of the leaf.

"You said before that Takagi wouldn't lie, so why don't you? You are obviously disgusted with me, but you still pretend that nothing happened and act coy. If you're not awkward, I still feel awkward."

"."

"It's convenient to ask why you hate me. I should have never offended you." Lu Ren scattered the torn leaves into the flower bed behind him.

It was undeniable that he was indeed curious about this issue.

Usually I just have a vague feeling and cannot be sure. After staying together for a long time today, Lu Ren's feeling became stronger.

"Two things. First, you have written many articles to discredit us before. Second, since you took over Kudo's position, the police have become more lax."

"..." Lu Ren frowned, "Are you sick? Firstly, reporting truthfully is a crime? Besides, after I started solving the case, I never wrote a police crime story again. Secondly, you are useless, blame me. Solve the case too quickly?"

"I know. I don't blame you for this. That's why I kept it hidden. If you insist on saying it, the attitude you showed just now is very disgusting to me."

Having said this, Sato became more angry, his brows relaxed, and he said calmly:

"No matter what, justice cannot be blasphemed. My father did not tell who the murderer was before he died, because he firmly believed that the murderer would surrender. He firmly believed in justice, and so did I."

Hey, that’s really sensational.

Lu Ren didn't accept this trick at all, "Yes, I understand. Just police officer Miwako."

"Yes, and that's more. I'm not familiar with you at all. Don't call me that again in the future."

"Okay." Lu Ren picked a leaf again. This time he did not tear it, but held it above his head and used the sunlight to observe the veins of the leaf. "So, Officer Sato, how does it feel to speak your mind and no longer hide it?"

Sato was stunned for a moment and then responded, "Very good. Thank you very much. Although I don't agree with your point of view, you are not a bad person."

"Maybe." Lu Ren lowered his head and put the leaf in his pocket, and said seriously, "Okay, now that your anger has subsided, let's get down to business now."

"Business, a magic show?"

"We'll talk about that later." Lu Ren waved his hand and sat on the bench, "It's about avenging your father. Since you have calmed down now, you should be able to think of something."

Sato thought for a moment and finally reacted, "Itali, he stayed there for three years. According to Article 255 of the Criminal Code, after the suspect leaves the country, if a valid copy of the indictment cannot be served or a summary order is issued to him, , then the time spent abroad will not be counted in the legal prosecution period."

"Ah."

“The litigation period actually just ended today!”

"Don't worry, it's actually tomorrow. His flight back home has been delayed. But he probably didn't expect this," Lu Ren added.

Until this moment, Sato fully understood what Lu Ren meant before.

"That's why you asked me to ask him before twelve o'clock. He probably thought that after twelve o'clock, he felt that the prosecution period had passed and he was safe, so he told me the truth about that year. But in fact"

"That's right. It seems there are some smart people in the police."

"But how do you know this?" Sato asked.

"I'm a reporter, so it's not normal for me to be well-informed." Lu Ren said casually.

"Yes, but you would have ended it if you had said so earlier." Sato sat next to Lu Ren, "I have to say something to kill Luye. This joke is not funny at all."

"I'm not kidding." Lu Ren shook his head, "If it were me, I would only do that. I believe in blood repayment with blood. And you rarely sentence prisoners to death. And the prisoners are older. If they are locked up for two years, they might Out."

He looked at Sato, "Is this really okay? Your father died because of him. You also lost your father when you were ten years old. Are you willing to let go of the blood feud for these eighteen years?"

"Otherwise?" Sato smiled, "I understand what you mean. But I won't do that. As for the reasons, there is no need to say more. You can't convince me, and I won't try to convince you."

"Okay." Lu Ren changed the subject, "By the way, how about making a bet. Guess who will be the second to solve the riddle of Chou Si Lang."

"There's no need to gamble. They would have solved it long ago. Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department knows about it." After saying this, Sato was stunned, "No, this is the first time Takagi knows about it today. What do you mean? "

"That's right." Lu Ren snapped his fingers, "You said earlier that Takagi didn't have the ability to solve the case, but I have confidence in him. I think he can solve this case. What do you think, do you want to bet?"

"No gambling."

"Why, I have no confidence in him. Brother Takagi is usually dull. But it is different now. Once a person's potential is stimulated, it is very powerful. Just like now, if you offer such conditions, Brother Takagi must I will work hard regardless of my own safety." Lu Ren said.

"Ok?"

"I still don't understand, Takagi likes you." Lu Ren hit the ball straight.

"Huh? Really? I don't feel it, but I know Baitiao likes me."

As a result, Sato caught it perfectly.

Fine.

Lu Ren then asked, "Now that you know it, how do you feel?"

"I don't know. Takagi is a very good person, very hard-working, and very kind. I have a good feeling about him. But it's just not possible for us. Okay, don't talk about this. I don't like this topic."

Sato looked at Lu Ren, "Let's talk about what you want. After all, you have uncovered the truth of that year."

"I owe you first." Lu Ren stood up and left the bench, walked a few steps forward, then turned around and faced Sato, "Now the magic show starts. You can just sit there."

"Ah."

Lu Ren looked at Sato and silently thought about his hypothesis. As for the imaginary character, it must be Kyogoku Makoto, an old acquaintance.

The familiar headache came again, but this time, it was not as strong as before.

It falls into the category of being able to endure it.

Does this mean that he succeeded?

Lu Ren held his forehead and asked softly, "Did you see anything?"

"There is a white figure in front of me." Sato frowned and said uncertainly, "This person is about the same height as you. How did you do this?"

That seems to be a success.

That plan three was successful.

But the limitation is that using assumptions about others will increase mental drain and cause headaches.

Lu Ren first withdrew and continued to imagine, and then replied, "Magic effect. A kind of sleight of hand. In addition to being a reporter, I am also a part-time magician."

"Then you are really versatile." Sato complimented casually, and suddenly realized something, "Can the appearance of this figure be changed?"

"Okay. I know what you mean. Do you have a photo of your father? If so, show me."

"Yes." Sato took out his wallet and took out a yellowed photo from its compartment. It showed a family of three.

She handed the photo to Lu Ren with both hands.
