The man stared at his canvas, a pipe in his mouth. Before Megure and the others entered the house, he didn't even look at Takagi.
"This family is really sick." Lu Ren muttered, walked to the pipe-smoking man, and repeated the operation just now. The next process was no different from the previous one, and the pipe-smoking man also became extremely cooperative. But this person also has an alibi.
The case went round and round and seemed to be back to square one. Under the reception of the maid, Lu Ren and his party came to the living room. Memu and Maori exchanged the case together, Conan followed them, and Lan and Lu Ren were last.
This time it was Lan and Lu Ren's turn to whisper, "Brother Ren, I feel that this family is a bit strange. Especially the gentleman just now, his lover was just killed, and he looked indifferent and said that he You have to concentrate on your work and don’t want to waste your time on this kind of thing.”
Lu Ren replied: "This kind of thing is normal. Not all couples are as loving as your parents. Many people have no feelings after being together for a long time. They may continue to maintain the family out of responsibility, or maybe It could be something else. It’s not love anyway.”
Mao Lilan was still puzzled: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to just divorce."
"Who knows, maybe she has other intentions."
While several people were chatting, the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang. The maid picked up the conversation and chatted for a while, then quickly handed the phone to Officer Megure and whispered: "It's a man calling, and he insisted that Mrs. Banko answer the phone."
Suddenly there was a new development in the case. Mu Mu instantly became energetic and took the phone from the maid. He knew without thinking that this call must have come from the deceased's affair partner.
But after chatting for more than ten minutes, the excitement in Megumi disappeared little by little. After hanging up the phone, he shook his head at Maori and the others, "It wasn't him. He was drinking with his colleagues in Hokkaido at the time of the crime. He has a clear alibi."
After eliminating the suspicion of having an affair, Megure and the others placed their suspicion on the head of the Karitani family and his two sons.
The reason is also very simple. Although the three of them have alibi, their certificates can be falsified in the eyes of experienced police officers. Because during the time when the case occurred, the maids who testified for them did not see the three of them with their own eyes. They just placed the prepared curry rice at the door of the three of them. There's something to be said for not being able to see the real person.
"This is a bit strange." Maoli looked at the two maids, "The three of them eat in their own rooms, why don't they eat together? Is there any conflict?"
"Twelve years ago, Master and the others had dinner together."
"Yeah, but after the third young master Ruiyou disappeared, they stopped eating together."
Ruiyu...
"Karitani Ruisuke. I remember!" Megure's suddenly raised voice attracted the attention of everyone present, "There was a phone booth murder case twelve years ago, and the method of committing the crime was exactly the same as this one."
This one is considered an additional update. Thank you book friends for your monthly votes. It was the first time for the author to receive so many monthly tickets and he was flattered. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 423 Insinuations
The modus operandi this time was exactly the same as that time.
Looking at the excited Mu Mu, Lu Ren said lightly, "So, has the case from twelve years ago been solved?"
"Um...no. We're still working on it."
Lu Ren spread his hands, "That means there are no successful ideas for solving the case for reference."
"Um. There should be a little bit of it, right?" Mumu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and told everyone the circumstances of the case as quickly and briefly as possible.
Twelve years ago, a female body was found in a remote phone booth. After investigation, it was found that the deceased was named Soka Aida and was the fiancée of Ruiyu Karitani. At the same time, Karitani himself was also missing at this time.
At first, the police suspected that the murderer was the missing Karitani Ruiyu. But after sampling and analyzing the scene, they found a large amount of blood belonging to Ruiyu Karitani next to the phone booth, and at the same time, Ruiyu Karitani's savings were withdrawn. So the police changed their investigation thinking and began to think that this was a typical murder case.
They launched an investigation in this direction, and the results needless to say. Not to mention getting nothing, it can be considered as making no progress.
As for what Mumu said, the same thing is that the deceased were stabbed in the abdomen with a knife and then hit on the head with a blunt instrument, eventually leading to death.
But for now, as Lu Ren said, this twelve-year-old case will not be of any help in solving the case for the time being. Mumu and the others quickly put the matter behind them and started discussing the case again.
When it comes to solving the case, Mu Mu instinctively wants to find Lu, whom he trusts most... Huh? Who is coming? Memu looked at Brother Maori and began to communicate with him about the case with some suspicion.
At this time, Lu Ren had already put on the marginal two-piece suit. Because if nothing else, Conan’s Showtime will be next. Of course, it can also be called Conan’s death rush time.
Lu Ren promised Huiyuan not to interfere in this matter. Not intervening means that the two parties are not helping each other, just sitting on the fishing platform and watching the show. As a good friend of Conan, putting aside his personal feelings, Lu Ren was still very happy to see Conan commit suicide.
Anyway, let Conan reason first, and he will finally reap the fruits of victory. This way you can earn lottery draws and watch a good show. It's really a win-win, the kind where he wins twice.
No, at this time, Conan was facing away from the sofa, holding his chin in his hand and reasoning seriously. He didn't even notice that Mao Lilan was sitting on the sofa behind him, watching his every move.
Then Conan took the initiative and got the three of them back on track.
[Homo sapiens (confusion/shock/disbelief)]
Oh, there's a good show to watch. You should take a handful of melon seeds from the doctor's house before going out.
In the next period of time, Lan began to stare at Conan, or in other words, at Kudo Shinichi.
At the same time, Lu Ren also witnessed with his own eyes what it means to criticize others, insinuations, and puns.
"Worrying about the other person who has not yet appeared, the feeling of waiting is very helpless and sad. It is very different from the kind of bad guy who is obviously there but doesn't say anything, and just secretly observes the other person's every move. Are you right, Conan?"
"I don't know, I'm just a kid."
"Are you right, Conan?"
"Yes……"
After watching a wonderful show, Lu Ren took off the marginal man's two-piece suit and caught the murderer before Conan could. That is, the deceased's brother-in-law, the writer with pigtails. As for the motive of the murder and the method of committing the crime, it is really as bloody as possible. If I have to say it, this family is a little bit crazy.
One night twelve years ago, the third young master of the Karitani family found out that he had been cheated on by his fiancée. Emotionally, he had some arguments with his fiancée and accidentally stabbed her with a knife. The third young master, who thought he had killed someone, ran home and told his brother, the second young master, the braided man, about the incident.
The second young master's method of dealing with it was also very simple. He returned to the scene of the crime and killed the head with his own sword. Because the third young master’s fiancée, Ms. Aida, was having an affair with him. Then the second young master hid the third young master in the attic of his bedroom. But unfortunately, this long-hidden secret was discovered by Ms. Banko.
Ms. Banzi happily accepted this pie that seemed to fall from the sky. She regarded the second young master as her nobleman and extorted 10 million from him. Then the second young master killed her too, and used the third young master to help her prove her alibi.
As the mystery was solved by Lu Ren, the murderer was successfully brought to justice and the lottery was successfully obtained. Lu Ren was not rewarded for the murder case twelve years ago, probably because it was too long ago. Of course, this was not important. Lu Ren was mentally prepared for this. If there was a reward, it would be a pleasant surprise, but if there was no reward, it would be normal.
There were only a few points that Lu Ren was more concerned about. He stopped Megure and prepared to ask the second young master a few more questions.
"There's something I can't understand. Lan told me that you are a very successful writer, and the movie adapted from the novel is about to be released. It stands to reason that you are not short of money. How could you choose to kill someone for 10 million."
"You don't understand." The man with the pigtails smiled miserably, "Her tone and expression, it's obvious that ten million won't satisfy her."
"It's a bit like 'I'll keep this secret of yours for the rest of my life?'"
"Yep."
"Also, you two grown men can have a meal. Is it enough?"
Faced with this question, the braided man was stunned for a moment and replied honestly: "Actually, my brother ate most of it. I can go out to eat when I'm hungry anyway."
"That's it. There is also the issue of personal hygiene. I see that there is no independent toilet in your room."
"Brother Lu Ren..." Mu Mu had a dark look on his face.
"Don't worry, I have questions to ask you too. Didn't you search his house at that time? How could you find such a big man?"
"Ah, that. The weather is quite nice today."
After leaving Karitani's house, Lu Ren got into the car rented by Maori and got off at the office with Conan and the others, while Maori set off to return the car.
"You guys go up, I'll go sit at the doctor's house for a while."
Mao Lilan nodded. She was so preoccupied at this time that she didn't even bother to invite Lu Ren to sit upstairs.
Lu Ren didn't care about this. After watching Mao Lilan go upstairs, he wandered to the doctor's house alone.
It was already around ten o'clock in the evening. Raising his hand and knocking on the door of the doctor's house, Lu Renxin thought that if no one opened the door, he would go home directly.
As a result, Haiyuan came running to open the door for him after a while.
"Xiao Ai, didn't you say you wanted to take a rest?"
"Lying still on the sofa is also rest." Haiyuan turned sideways and let Lu Ren enter the room, "Is there something wrong at this late hour?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Conan's vest is about to fall off." Lu Ren sat on the sofa with a smile on his face.
"Oh? You didn't interfere?"
Lu Ren waved his hand, "No. Lan is actually quite smart. I didn't say anything during the whole process. She reasoned it out on her own. It just depends on whether Conan can survive tonight's test."
"There should be no problem. What a famous detective is best at is deceiving girls."
"Forehead."
ps: I originally wanted to save this chapter until April 1st. But this chapter happens to be the end of this case, so I’ll just post it together. Let’s talk about April’s matters in April.

Chapter 424 Internal and external cooperation
Perhaps as Haibara said, Edogawa Conan finally passed this test without any danger, but the price was that he had to carry two mobile phones with him at all times. Unless we wait for the day when dual-SIM dual-standby is developed.
Speaking of which, Lu Ren didn't take the issue of dual-SIM dual-standby seriously at first. He only briefly mentioned it when he was on the phone with Bei Dao at night. As a result, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Bei Dao takes this matter very seriously. She thinks this technology is very useful and gave corresponding suggestions - "If possible, apply for dual SIM dual standby as your own patent. In this way, no matter which mobile phone manufacturer uses this technology, They all need to pay a patent fee.”
Lu Ren thought about it and felt that Bei Dao was right. It's just that Bei Dao really doesn't have the skills to handle both tasks. She is the minister of two departments and also needs to operate new media independently. It is simply unrealistic to expect her to continue to patent mobile phones.
After going round and round, this matter was finally entrusted to Dr. Ali. Lu Ren signed a written contract with him and went through the process. The agreement stipulates that if this patented technology really makes money, the money will be invested in the research and development of the antidote to Drug A. I won’t talk about it if I don’t make any money.
Anyway, Lu Ren didn't have high expectations for this, whether it was successful or not.
……
The next morning, Lu Ren received a call from Ginjiu, saying that he had something to find and made an appointment to meet at the Dahei Building Bar.
About fifteen minutes later, Lu Ren parked the car and took the elevator to the rooftop bar. The people standing at the door of the bar at this time were not the two black vests from before, but Vodka. After seeing Lu Ren's arrival, the latter immediately showed an honest smile on his face and reached out to open the door of the bar for him, "Good day, Master Glen."
Lu Ren nodded to him, turned around and walked into the bar. At this time, the bar was empty except for Gin, which was normal. The bar was closed during the day. Lu Ren adjusted his facial expression, walked straight to the opposite side of Gin, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I have submitted your previous proposal and it was rejected."
"The one who donates money?"
"Yeah. Rum said this move is subject to discussion."
"The boss is here, what did he say?"
Gin was silent.
After five seconds, ten seconds, and a full half-minute of silence, Lu Ren spoke up again: "Don't tell me, your and my joint proposal didn't reach Boos, Rum just called back."
"Yeah. He is the second in command of the organization after all."
Lu Ren sneered a few times without comment and did not express any personal opinions on Rum. But from his body language and expression, Gin already knew the answer. It's just that Lu Ren can do this, but he can't.
Gin: "There are indeed some problems in the organization at present. I can understand your mood, but many things cannot be solved overnight. The task at this stage is to pay back the funds required for the relocation of the base as soon as possible."
"How much is left?"
Gin continued to remain silent.
"Okay, I understand. If nothing happens, I'll leave first." After that, Lu Ren was about to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing." Ginjiu stopped Lu Ren, "You don't need to worry about funding, you have plenty of time."
Although Rum rejected their proposal, he was relieved at the same time. He said that he still had to pay back the money for moving, but there was no need to be too hasty and it would not be too late to pay back slowly. It was completely different from his initial attitude towards asking for debt.
"So? Are you going to give me another job?"
Gin nodded slightly: "There is a council election going on recently, and one of the candidates is very difficult. If he is successfully elected as a council member, it may be detrimental to the organization."
After saying that, he took out a document from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Lu Ren.
Lu Ren reached out and flipped through the information. Domen Yasuhui had a strong sense of justice. His father was once a defense court official and had stated in public many times that he would severely crack down on criminal activities.
Hey, this is not the main plot in the original work. Is the Geel chapter so fast? I didn’t feel like I had much experience in daily life, so I entered the main line.
Thinking this in his mind, Lu Ren still looked as usual, "What does it mean, kill him?"
Gin replied: "You make your own decision, whether you choose to get rid of him or choose other methods, as long as he fails to run for election."
Now that the matter has been handed over to Glenfiddich, it must be Glenfiddich’s sole discretion. At most, he would discuss coming with Glenfiddich, but Gin didn't think it was necessary to come. After all, Glenfiddich's ability lies there...
"That's it. Then I plan to fail this mission."
After all, Glenfiddich's abilities are...
Gin's face froze, and he forcibly took back the shark energy that overflowed from his body, and asked coldly: "The reason."
"The reason is very simple." Lu Ren threw the information on the table and replied nonchalantly: "Because I am unhappy."
