Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"That's what I think. I don't have an antidote in my hand. When the time comes, I'll take the antidote and let Haiyuan disguise himself as..."

"Wait a minute." Lu Ren couldn't help interrupting Conan's speech, "Why do you have the antidote in your hand?"

Conan subconsciously looked at Haiyuan, but found that Haiyuan avoided his gaze, and Conan reacted instantly. Huiyuan didn't mention this matter to Lu Ren at all. Wait, if he accidentally let it slip, wouldn't it mean that Hui Yuan would hate him again? To suffer...

"I gave him the antidote. I forgot to tell Brother Ren."

"This way." Lu Ren looked at Conan, "That antidote is not good for the body, especially the heavy load on the heart, and if you take too much, you will become drug-resistant, and you will never be able to change again. These little Ai should have told you that since she handed the medicine to you, I won’t ask any more questions. You can use your own discretion. But I don’t recommend that you take medicine rashly just for this reason."

"Well." Conan looked at Dr. A Li, "Doctor, hurry up and prepare a new mobile phone and a mobile phone card for me. It's best to hurry up. I probably need to use it tonight."

"I think there is one at home. I'll go look for it." After saying that, the doctor got up and left.

Lu Ren suddenly asked, "Why do you need a SIM card? I can just give you a phone."

"The mobile phone doesn't work. I'm going to call Lan tonight and I need to get another mobile phone card."

"What do you mean?" Lu Ren frowned, and then he slowly came to his senses. He asked tentatively, "Have you never given Lan your mobile phone number before?"

"I gave it to Conan, but not to Shinichi Kudo."

"So how do you usually keep in touch?"

“I don’t contact you usually, I only send emails at most.”

"..." Lu Ren pressed the knuckle of his right index finger between his eyebrows, "You have confirmed your relationship for so long, and she doesn't even have your mobile phone number?"

Lu Ren's blood pressure was a little high after hearing Conan's words just now. Especially when he recalled what Lan had said to him while holding a rose in her hand at that holy place for marriage proposal.

[I, Mao Lilan, am Kudo Shinichi’s girlfriend. 】

Her firm look and tone at that time are still fresh in Lu Ren's memory.

"No."

Lu Ren sighed, "You'd better disappear from my sight now."

"Oh." Conan immediately got into the basement and followed the doctor to find his cell phone.

After his figure completely disappeared, Lu Ren put down his hand and said softly: "I feel a little unworthy for Xiaolan now."

Haiyuan neither affirmed nor denied. She stretched out her right hand, gently smoothed Lu Ren's frown, and then put her hands on Lu Ren's hand. "Whether it's worth it or not, feelings are a matter between two people. Brother Ren, please don't interfere."

"Well, I know. I just don't understand. Even if he thinks it's troublesome to carry two mobile phones on his body, why not put two mobile phone cards in one mobile phone?"

This time it was Haiyuan's turn to frown. She repeated what Lu Ren had just said, "Two SIM cards for one phone? What does this mean?"

"Dual-SIM dual-standby. Wait a minute." Lu Ren suddenly reacted, "Don't current mobile phones have this function?"

"At least not as far as I know. Is this the technology from your hometown, Brother Ren?"

"Well, probably." Lu Ren said vaguely, "I don't know much about this. But if the current mobile phones don't have this function, then I can contact the mobile phone manufacturers or operators and sell them this idea. .”

"Ah."

"By the way, Bei Dao seems to know someone from the operator. I'll tell her about this tomorrow."

Haiyuan raised his eyebrows and retracted his hand silently.

About three to five minutes passed before Conan and the doctor came out of the basement together.

"I'll leave first, Xiaolan and uncle are still waiting for me outside."

"Wait a moment."

Lu Ren called out to Conan, not because he had anything to do with him, but because he was reminded to do so. In addition, Xinjue also reminded him...

"Xiao Ai, go turn on the TV and tune it to Rimai TV Station."

After a while, the host's voice came from the TV.

"At around 7 o'clock tonight, a female deceased was found in a car parked next to the Tsumutsu River. Preliminary investigation showed that the deceased was Ms. Karitani Honoko, a housewife from Cupido Town."

"What?!" Conan quickly walked to the TV. After confirming the face of the deceased, his expression suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

"She is the client I told you on the phone this morning. Unexpectedly..."

"It's interesting." Lu Ren got up from the sofa, "Let's go, I'll go take a look with you. Are you going, Xiao Ai?"

"No. I want to rest."

"Row."

ps: Dual SIM dual standby was invented in 06, but it is not available yet.

Chapter 421: Heavy Punch

The two left the doctor's house and got into Maori's temporarily rented car. Looking at Lu Ren who suddenly appeared, Mao Li had no intention of chatting. After saying a few words, he quickly turned around and headed to the scene of the crime.

While Conan and the others were watching the news in the house, the Maori father and daughter in the car also learned about the incident through the car radio. Naturally, Maori had no intention of chatting, because the nature of this matter was very serious.

Strictly speaking, the three members of their family are all criminal suspects. After all, they had close contact with the deceased today. Even if they don't go over now, they will still be summoned when the police find out about them.

It would be better to take the initiative to go there early and solve the case to clear the suspicion. As a famous detective, Mouri Kogoro has this confidence. Anyway, Lu Ren will take care of everything good or bad, so it won't be a big problem.

At this time, Conan was sitting in the passenger seat as before, and Lu Ren and Lan were sitting in the back seat of the car. Mao Li had no intention of chatting with Lu Ren, let alone Lan. Ever since Conan got into the car, her attention had been on Conan without blinking.

[Homo sapiens (irritated/depressed/angry)]

Recalling Haiyuan's previous instructions, Lu Ren turned off the appraisal and stretched out his hand to smooth his subconsciously frowned brows.

That’s all. At an age when you don’t need to be polite when eating, you can’t get out of love.

At this time, Maori did not notice anything strange about his daughter. This is also normal. Maori didn't identify, couldn't read minds, and didn't know what happened. Naturally, he wouldn't notice anything wrong with his daughter.

In most cases, no matter how chaotic a person's heart is, to outsiders, he is only a little more silent than usual. Nothing worth paying attention to.

While driving, Mao Li told Lu Ren as briefly as possible about the strange commission they received this morning.

The client doesn’t need to mention that the dead ghost on TV just now, Karitani Banko. The commission content is to help her find her lost mobile phone at home. And this matter is quite urgent. Because the companion lady’s affair partner will send her an email tonight.

If the phone was simply lost somewhere, it would be easy to say. She is afraid that her mobile phone will be secretly taken away by her husband, brother-in-law or father-in-law. If that were the case, it would be all over.

Maoli and the others followed their companion to the bedroom where the father-in-law's brother-in-law's husband was, but they didn't find anything. In the end, the companion found the mobile phone by himself, sent them out as gifts, and said that he would pay the commission fee as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute." Lu Ren suddenly realized a problem, "So, brother, is your help this time in vain?"

Mao Li sighed and did not answer Lu Ren directly. He just said: "These are all trivial matters. Find out the murderer first."

"Ah."

When Maori was telling about their day's itinerary, Lu Ren noticed that Conan wanted to interrupt several times, but he forced himself to hold back. Lu Ren guessed that he realized that he was about to fall off the horse and wanted to pretend to be a cute kid for a while to get through.

It's just that it's of no use, it's too late. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will only take root and sprout in your heart until they flourish. This is what is known in psychology as confirmation bias. People subconsciously filter out ideas or data that conflict with their ideas.

And what should I say, according to Lu Ren's understanding of Conan, he doesn't think Conan can pretend for long. I can still control it consciously now, but it won't be possible when I get to the crime scene. Various past experiences have already confirmed this.

……

"The deceased had injuries on his head and abdomen. According to forensic identification, it seems that he was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife and then hit on the head with a blunt object, causing his death."

Beside the Tsutsu River, Takagi was holding a small notebook in his hand, providing the police with the information currently in his possession to Lu Ren and his friends who had arrived shortly afterwards. The experienced Maori immediately returned the favor and exchanged information with Megure and his friends.

Mumu nodded, "If you put it that way, the murderer is probably her affair partner."

"Yes." Mao Li patted his thigh, and Mu Mu wanted to go with him. "The man must have felt that he was about to be exposed. In order to preserve his reputation, he chose to kill Miss Banzi directly."

Lu Ren nodded, what Mao Li said made sense. Now the suspicion of the affair partner can be eliminated.

Conan had a different view on the matter. He believed that the murderer was probably a family member of the deceased, and told Megure and the others his reasoning process.

With the same rationale, Mao Lilan walked behind Conan and put his fists on his hips.

"What you said makes sense." She lowered her head and looked down at Conan, her face seemed to be cast into a shadow, "If it were Shinichi, he would definitely reason like this."

Lu Ren, Le.

He found that Mao Lilan now has a sense of beauty that does not care about Conan's life or death. Lu Ren remembered this plot. At this time, Mao Lilan did not directly suspect that Conan was Kudo. She just felt that Kudo was monitoring her every move through Conan. At the same time, she also believed that Kudo was probably having an affair outside, rather than investigating a case.

Lu Ren thought for a moment and decided to help Conan support the situation, "This does not mean that only Kudo can reason like this. I think many people should think of that aspect."

Conan's eyes lit up and he began to nod vigorously. Although Lu Ren said not to help him before, he still helped him now. It was only when he heard Lu Ren's next words that Conan realized that he seemed to be happy too early.

"Because this is human nature. If the family really knows that she is having an affair, I think whatever behavior she does is normal." When he said the last sentence, Lu Ren looked at Mao Lilan and said warmly, "After all, We must deal with such half-hearted people with a heavy blow."

"That's right." Mao Lilan agreed with Lu Ren casually, but her eyes were focused on Conan. She smiled slightly and cracked her knuckles.

Conan didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Mao Lilan was thinking at this time. He simply thought that Mao Lilan was doubting his identity at this time. He didn't expect that Mao Lilan had perfectly inherited her father's talent, and her brain circuitry was born with one step more than ordinary people. .

But even if he didn't know Mao Lilan's true thoughts at the moment, Conan also knew that his current situation was somewhat dangerous.

Mumu coughed twice and came to a conclusion on this matter. They will now set off to the deceased's house to see if there are any clues. Although he also felt that what Lu Ren said was reasonable, it was still somewhat inappropriate to say it next to the victim who might have died due to an affair.

Seems a little cold-hearted. Mu Mu, who was a generous person, couldn't see this and simply ended the topic.

It takes about twenty minutes to drive from the deceased's home to the Tsutsumi River. Maoli and the others turned around and walked towards where the car was parked previously. Conan deliberately slowed down his pace and pulled Lu Ren to whisper.

"Brother Ren, what do you mean by what you just said to Xiaolan?"

"You don't know? It doesn't matter if you don't know." Lu Ren smiled and rubbed Conan's head, "You only need to remember one word. 'Punch hard'."

Chapter 422 Inquiry

"Madam is having an affair?!"

In Karitani's house, the two maids exclaimed almost at the same time.

Mumu and the others were standing at the entrance. After the two ladies calmed down, Mumu asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any clues about that man?"

The two of them nodded, and one of them couldn't hide his pain and replied slowly with choked sobs: "This morning a strange man with a mustache came to visit with his child."

Another added: "I remember his name was Goro Mori."

"You two made a mistake, I actually..." Mouri Kogoro took two steps forward and stood next to Megure.

"Yes, that's him!" One person pointed at Maoli and shouted.

The other person's reaction was more radical. He directly picked up the vacuum cleaner lying next to him and pointed it at Maori's head to give him a slap in the head. "You guy actually took my wife..."

Seeing this, Lu Ren tapped his right wrist a few times and temporarily 'invited' this woman who had behaved in an extreme manner to his home. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders like Maori and others who didn't know the situation, this woman seemed to have been suddenly subjected to a body-fixing spell. After raising the vacuum cleaner above her head, she became motionless.

Before anyone else could react, Lu Ren stepped forward and took the vacuum cleaner from her hand, and then repeated the operation just now.

"Mari, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"I..." She was still in a daze, "I seemed to have had a dream just now."

Lu Ren said: "You should be overly sad because of the death of Ms. Banzi, which led to hallucinations. I can understand your mood, but you really misunderstood. This is the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, who previously used a pseudonym It’s because I accepted the commission from Ms. Banko.”

After listening to Lu Ren's explanation, the two maids understood what was going on and began to bow and apologize to Mao Li.

Naturally, Maoli wouldn't care about this offense. Seeing that these two people really knew nothing about the deceased's affair, they continued to walk inside, preparing to ask other people.

Under the leadership of the maid, Maori and the others walked through the atrium, preparing to follow the day's route of action and first visit the head of the family, Karitani Osaku, the father-in-law of the deceased.

"Mouri Kogoro, detective?" At this time, Karitani Daisaku was leaning on his chair. Even when he saw the arrival of the police, he did not get up, but continued to sit. But it's understandable, after all, this man looks very old, with wrinkles on his face and gray hair, and he may not be as tall as he is when he sits.

Memu asked the old man routinely, and it turned out that he seemed to have a complete alibi during the time of the crime, and the two maids could also prove this. So they came to the door of Karitani's second son, brother-in-law of the deceased.

This middle-aged man with pigtails is a well-known author. Before Memu and the others came to the door, he seemed to be writing literature. Facing Mu Mu's inquiry, he looked even more impatient. "you……"

"Wait a moment." Lu Ren motioned to the two maids to step aside. Then he walked to the side of the braided man and looked down at him condescendingly. "Before you answer other people's questions, you should at least stand up. This is A matter of basic courtesy. Where was your upbringing?"

At this time, a cold wind seemed to blow by, and everyone felt a little cold on their necks. The braided man who faced Lu Ren had a different experience. He didn't feel a little cold, but felt like he was falling into an ice cave, as if there was a sharp knife on his neck.

"Yes, sorry."

The braided man suddenly stood up. Then he became very cooperative, but his speech became a bit stuttering.

As it happens, he also seems to have a perfect alibi, and the maid can also prove this.

So they moved to the room where the eldest son of the Kariya family, the husband of the deceased, was. In fact, after entering the Kariya family, Megure assigned Takagi to go to the husband of the deceased and split up to investigate.

But judging from the current situation, Takagi has obviously not made any progress. With a good temper, he was bending down and constantly begging the old man in front of him to cooperate with the investigation, but it was of no use.
