Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Seeing that things developed unexpectedly, Tiantangxiang and his two men changed their expressions and stopped watching the show.

Tian Tianxiang hurriedly ran to Lu Ren and squatted down to check on Kuramoto Yoji.

Jun Makino apologized to Hondo Eiyu on behalf of Kuramoto, and then explained with a forced smile: "Yoji was just a little too nervous, because the current situation is quite special. The rich lady of that year also hanged herself in this room."

As soon as these words came out, it naturally caused a small commotion. Mao Lilan and the others soon thought of some not-so-good things. For example, there might be something wrong with this house and it might have been cursed by a devil.

Of course, this kind of commotion did not last long, because Lu Ren's mood had always been calm and he seemed not to be moved at all. This gesture gave Mao Lilan and the others a great sense of security, and they naturally calmed down.

Then Yuanzi stood up and asked: "Brother Ren, should I call home again and ask them not to come to pick us up? Now that something like this has happened, we won't be able to leave for a while."

"Yeah." Lu Ren nodded, "You might as well tell them not to come over. When the case is solved, we can take a ride and let the police take us to the bottom of the mountain."

The police officer here is Yamamura Cao, who is considered an old acquaintance. This little favor will definitely help.

Of course, as Conan and his gang are known to be acquainted with each other in police departments all over the country. If not now, it will definitely be in the future.

"Yeah." Yuanzi ran to make a phone call and pulled Mao Lilan before leaving. Should she say it or not, she was still a little scared now. Although the latter will definitely not be any better than her, many people will feel more at ease.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxing, Tiantianxiang also breathed a sigh of relief. Kuramoto has already thrown himself into the street, and now he doesn't want to have any more conflicts with Lu Ren.

After all, Lu Ren could easily deal with Cang Ben, so it would be no problem to deal with him again, and it was Cang Ben's fault in the first place. As a result, not only did Kuramoto not repent, but he repeatedly made things worse and brought the matter to this point.

Tiantangxiang was also a little dissatisfied with this, but since everyone was on the street, there was no point in "whipping the corpse". Showing kindness to Lu Ren was not in line with his artist's temperament. After all, Kuramoto was still his companion after all.

It would be great if the matter could stop here and not get worse. Tencho Kyou and Makino Jun teamed up to drag Kuramoto to the bed in the next room, while Conan took the opportunity to run back to the crime scene and observe the surroundings to collect clues.

Lu Ren and Hondou Eisuke were the only ones left in the corridor. Looking at Miss Renko lying on the ground, Hondou Eisuke subconsciously went to Lu Ren's side and thanked him for his previous help.

Lu Ren waved his hand and didn't take this matter to heart. His mind was now focused on the blow he was about to receive.

This demonic murder case seems to be a bluff, but that’s all it will be if it’s really exposed. This is also in line with the consistent tone of Conan's ghost cases. No matter how much suspense is created in the early stage and how incredible it seems, in the end it is humans with ulterior motives who commit crimes.

It’s even an exaggeration to say that these methods of committing crimes seem a bit too simple and unremarkable compared to the terrifying atmosphere created in the early stage. It makes people feel that the method of committing the crime is not worthy of this terrifying atmosphere, it is a bit anticlimactic, or that the force in the early stage is too strong, and the later stage is insufficient.

Lu Ren didn't care much about it, no matter whether it was worthy or not, as long as it didn't affect his ability to solve cases and earn lottery draws. Under this premise, he hoped that the case would be as simple as possible. After all, he was almost done with the prophetic bonus of the plot.

It’s still the Kiel chapter, and the main line red-black showdown hasn’t officially started yet. After the red-black duel ended, Akai Shuichi faked his death, and Bourbon made his official debut, he really couldn't remember clearly what happened.

For the Bourbon chapter and subsequent plots, Lu Ren only has an impression of the main plot and the episodes where Xiao Ai appeared. Either the other episodes were skipped or he only watched them once, so his impression is very vague.

In game terms, that means that he will soon be out of the novice protection period, and he will have to make his own way in the future and rely on his own ability to solve cases with Conan. The difficulty level is neither high nor low, depending on how deep the clues are hidden.

In the next room, Tiantianxiang put Kuramoto on the sofa and did not directly open the door and leave. First, Lu Ren's pervert with superhuman strength is still out there, and he doesn't want to deal with him. Second, I have something I want to say to Jun Makino in private.

He was silent for a while, looked at Kuramoto, who was still unconscious, and whispered: "What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Jun Makino didn't answer, but asked instead.

"The relationship between the three of us and Renzi is not particularly harmonious, after all, she has that kind of personality. But if we really want to say it, the conflict between Yoji and Renzi is the biggest."

After talking about this paradise, he paused for a moment, as if he was trying to determine if Kuramoto Yoji had any signs of waking up. After confirming it, he continued: "That's why when the gentleman asked Yoji if he had a guilty conscience, I chose to remain silent. , I want to hear what Yaoji has to say."

"In the end, he didn't say anything and chose to hit people directly." Jun Makino crossed his arms, stood up and walked to the window, turned his back to Tianxiang, and said calmly, "I don't have any opinion on this. It is the police who solve the case. The most important thing now is not to find the murderer, but what to do next. Renzi is no longer here, and our band is afraid that it will break up, so we have to think about the future."

"You wanna quit?!"

"It's not about quitting. It's just that this band is destined to be unable to continue. The only reason why I can tolerate Bo Lunzi is because she is really talented. You know the level of the three of us.

And I don’t believe in the so-called demon killing people, otherwise I wouldn’t choose to buy this villa. The murderer is definitely among the three of us. If it were you, could you continue to work with the murderer and sleep under the same roof with peace of mind? "

Tiantianxiang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said with a slumped face, "You are right."

Chapter 461: Keep improving

Maybe Lu Ren was a bit heavy-handed, but until the Gunma police arrived, he still maintained a baby-like sleep, lying peacefully on the sofa motionless. Of course, it doesn't matter. As a prisoner, his mission has been accomplished.

"Mr. Lu Ren, we meet again!" As soon as he got off the police car, Yamamura Cao waved to Lu Ren who was standing at the gate from a distance. As he spoke, he ran to Lu Ren, and then looked left and right excitedly, "Where's Detective Maori?"

"Brother Maori didn't come today."

"Ah..." Yamamura Cao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Compared to Riku Ren, he liked and trusted Mouri Kogoro more.

There was no particular reason, he just simply felt that Maori's way of solving crimes was more handsome. Just like Superman fighting monsters, the more handsome the moves, the higher the damage. As for Lu Ren, he almost didn't care. The case was solved smoothly and it was not fun at all.

Lu Ren didn't know what was going on in Yamamura Cao's mind, and he wasn't interested in it either.

"I have subdued the murderer, just take him away."

"Huh? Oh, oh." Yamamura Cao reacted and nodded repeatedly, with joy beyond words, "Okay, okay. I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, police and citizens are cooperating. His name is Kuramoto Yooji, he's upstairs."

"Okay!" Yamamura rushed in at the lead, but before he could take more than two steps, he stopped again, turned around, and said to his police officers, "Follow up quickly, don't dawdle behind."

To arrest a murderer, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself. After all, he is a murderer, and it would not be good if he breaks out and hurts someone. The more people there are, the less likely things will happen.

Going up to the second floor, there was another group of old acquaintances, but this was not the time to reminisce and chat. Looking at a man and a woman coming out of the next room, Yamamura Cao recalled the names of the people Lu Ren said, and looked at the tall man with a straight face. The man said: "You must be Yoji Kuramoto, take it away."

"Ah? No, I am Tian Xiang. Yaoji is still in the room...resting." Tian Tianxiang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to hide the fact that Kuramoto Yoji was knocked unconscious.

Because it was Kuramoto who made the move first, it would be unreasonable even if the police were involved. Besides, in this situation, it is better to have more than less.

"Rest?" Yamacun Cao said angrily, "Have you the nerve to rest after killing someone?"

He waved his hand and ordered his men: "Go in and catch this bastard!"

Seeing the police approaching with murderous intent, Tiantangxiang subconsciously took a step back to make way for them. Then he reacted and said cautiously: "Officer, is there any misunderstanding?"

Although Tiantangxiang is also a little suspicious of Kuramoto Yoji, there is no evidence in these notes, and people are arrested as soon as they come up. How can you handle a case like this? After all, against his teammates, Tiantangxiang still withstood the pressure and stood in front of the police.

"It's not a misunderstanding, the evidence is here." Lu Ren didn't want to waste time here, and he was too lazy to argue with them.

He walked into the bookshelf at the crime scene. After putting on white gloves, he took out a row of books from the bottom of the bookshelf and placed them on the ground. Then Lu Ren stood up and moved out of the way, "You can read it for yourselves."

Yamamura Cao was the first to come over, imitating Lu Ren's posture and squatting down. He immediately realized something was wrong. He reached forward and tentatively explored, "There is a hole behind here!"

"It's not a hole, it's a secret passage." Lu Ren corrected: "This secret passage leads from this room to Kuramoto Yoji's room."

He looked at the two people in Heaven, "Do you know this secret passage?"

They both shook their heads. Even if they knew, they had to pretend not to know now, not to mention that they didn't know the existence of this secret passage in the first place.

"There are his shoe prints and fingerprints here. The evidence is conclusive. Let's arrest him."

"Okay!" Yamamura Cao took action immediately.

Tenten Xian and Makino Jun looked at each other, sighed together, and followed Yamamura Cao out of the room. Seeing that the person was almost gone, Yingyou, the main hall, mustered up his courage and questioned in a low voice, "Brother Ren, I have a question."

"explain."

"I'm wondering, is this evidence enough to arrest someone? Kuramoto Yoji is the most likely suspect right now, but if he insists, he used this secret passage to have a tryst with Hobo Renko, and he didn't kill the person. He initially concealed the existence of the secret passage because he was worried that if the secret passage was discovered, the situation would be very unfavorable to him."

Hondou Eisuke's voice was not loud. If he spoke too loudly, he was worried that his words would be used by Kuramoto. Kuramoto had not expected this, but after being reminded by him, he got the idea. That would be bad.

Lu Ren was a little surprised when he heard Bentang Yingyou's assumption. He turned to look at Bentang Yingyou, focusing entirely on the child for the first time.

Looking at Bentang Yingyou's tense little face, and seeing the way in which although he was a little timid, he still had the courage to look into his eyes, Lu Ren smiled and said, "That's right, it would be a pity not to use your brain to commit crimes."

"!?" Conan suddenly became alert and suddenly raised his head to stare at Lu Ren. What is this for? In front of him, did you recruit Bentang Yingyou to join the gang?

However, our hall Yingyou doesn’t know Lu Ren’s true identity, at least not for the time being. Hearing Lu Ren's words, he thought Lu Ren was ridiculing him, so he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Mr. Lu Ren, I'm serious."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Lu Ren simply reassured Yingyou, and then said seriously, "Then let me explain briefly."

"First of all, the situation you mentioned is unreasonable. If Kuramoto and the deceased really had an affair, there is nothing shady about their relationship, and there is no need to resort to a secret meeting. Your statement itself is untenable. Stop."

"Secondly, if it is true as you said, they were dating through a secret passage. Then why is there only Kuramoto's shoe prints and fingerprints in this secret passage, but not those of the deceased?"

Our hall Yingyou thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because Miss Renzi is afraid of getting dirty."

"Okay, this barely makes sense. There is another problem. The shoe prints in this secret passage must be two-way. But the shoe prints of the pair of shoes Kuramoto wore today are one-way. And they are One-way shoe prints leading from this room to Kuramoto’s room.”

"unidirectional?"

"Yes. The reason is very simple." Lu Ren briefly described the murderer's crime process to Bentang Yingyou.

Kuramoto must have knocked on the door of the deceased's room first, entered the room and strangled the deceased, and then returned to his bedroom through the secret passage. It was impossible for him to walk from his own bedroom to the deceased's bedroom through a secret passage. If there was too much movement, the deceased would definitely sound a warning.

"Of course, it is possible that Kuramoto has walked repeatedly in the secret passage recently, but this possibility is very low. Judging from the violent temper of the deceased, Kuramoto should have killed passionately. He discovered this secret passage a long time ago, But I never dared to kill anyone. After killing the deceased today, I thought of using this secret passage."

Hondo Yingyou frowned. He admitted that what Lu Ren said made sense, but after all, some details were just assumptions, such as the shoe prints just mentioned. What if Kuramoto didn't kill in passion, but in a premeditated manner, and he had really been walking back and forth in the secret passage recently.

Although he is usually confused here, when it comes to such a big event, he will suddenly become alert and try not to miss every detail.

So although it sounded like a bit of an argument, Hondo Yingyu still insisted on expressing his opinion.

"It's very simple. A person's character determines his methods, and vice versa. His character can be seen from his methods. Only fools would use this kind of killing method."

Lu Ren said without mercy, "He is the only one who knows this secret passage. If it were me, I would drag the deceased into the secret passage after killing him. When everyone finds out that the deceased is not at home, they will search for him no matter what. If you don’t arrive later, call the police again at this time.”

"The reason for calling the police was 'My friend is missing and I don't know where he is.' The nature of the disappearance is much lighter than death. People disappear inexplicably every day in Japan, not to mention that she was still in the mountains, maybe she accidentally slipped. Even if most of the missing people will not be found, they are still missing and will not be classified as dead in the short term."

"Different degrees of severity will naturally lead to different efforts by the police. Compared with death cases, the police's intensity in tracing disappearance cases is not too high. Since it is not a death, but a simple disappearance, then look around for someone. If you look for it, there’s nothing you can do if you can’t find it.”

"This is not a special case, it is the same in every country. Because the police force is always insufficient, we must learn to distribute it appropriately. Once the news is over, the police withdraw, and then block this secret passage."

"Of course, this method is not foolproof. Maybe some police officers have a strong sense of responsibility and are particularly concerned about this disappearance case. They come here repeatedly to investigate, or even directly lie in ambush nearby to monitor the movements of other people in the villa for a long time. This is all possible. But after all, it is better than his method of directly provoking the police by jumping in the face."

This hall Yingyou is speechless.

Lu Ren patted his shoulder, turned around and walked out of the room.

Chapter 462 Shocking news

Facts have proved that Kuramoto’s castle is not as deep as Hondo Eiyu imagined. After learning that the secret passage had been discovered by the police, he seemed to have suffered a major blow, and admitted with a dejected face that he was the murderer.

Looking at the new draw on the disc, Lu Ren was thoughtful. In fact, the process of solving the case this time, as Bentang Yingyou said, was a bit sloppy and risky. But with the murderer's confession, the blow finally came into his own hands.

Doesn't that mean that solving the case may be a very simple matter. As long as the murderer pleads guilty and commits suicide, the number of lottery tickets will be obtained. The specific process of solving a crime is not important.

As for what to do specifically...

After thinking carefully for a while, Lu Ren gave up this somewhat tempting idea. Maybe that's true, but once the bottom line is drawn, it's hard to go back.

Maybe Lu Ren only targeted people like Kuramoto at the beginning. He clearly knew that this person was the murderer, but the evidence to solve the case was not enough to close the case directly. Just give him a set of physical therapy to wake him up.

But after tasting the sweetness of doing so, Lu Ren was not sure whether he could resist the temptation and continue to expand the scope. For example, in some cases where it is not known who the murderer is, it would be inappropriate to apply memory recovery techniques to the suspect.

It's troublesome to hit the wrong person, and it's hard to live with your own conscience.

Forget it, just follow the process to solve the case as before. Even if Conan takes the lead in the future, it will be because he is not good at learning and cannot blame others.

After finishing his psychological preparation, Lu Ren rode the Qunma police car down to the foot of the mountain.

When we parted, Shan Cuncao was still a little reluctant to leave. He stuck his head out of the car window and held Lu Ren's hands tightly, "Mr. Lu Ren, come to Gunma with Mr. Maori when you have time."

Lu Ren smiled and took out his hands. "Definitely next time."

After watching the police leave, Lu Ren turned around and said to Mao Lilan and others, "Let's go too."

"Ah."

Just like when he came, Conan sat in the passenger seat and everyone else sat in the back. Lu Ren turned on the air conditioner, played the car music, and prepared to drive home slowly.

Maybe they were tired from climbing the mountain. After driving the car for a while, the three people in the back seat were already drowsy. Conan in the passenger seat kept nodding his head, but compared to Mao Lilan and others, he still held on. Trying not to really fall asleep.

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap. I'll call you when I get there."

Conan shook his head, took out a water glass from his bag, and after taking a few sips of hot water, he felt much better.

Lu Ren wanted Mao Lilan and the other three to continue sleeping, so the car music was cut to soft and soothing piano music. As a result, his cell phone rang suddenly, and the three of them woke up immediately and subconsciously began to reach for their pockets.

"Sorry, it was my cell phone that rang. You can continue to sleep. Conan, the cell phone is in my left trouser pocket. I can't get it while driving. Please help me get it to see who is calling."

Lu Ren thought it was Xiao Ai who called. Not many people knew his mobile phone number, and even fewer called him. Just like Gin, this one only sends text messages.

Ran Ge, "It's Sister Xiao calling."

Conan took out his cell phone and glanced at the caller ID on it. He suddenly became energetic and no longer sleepy. He stared at Lu Ren with high energy, "Would you like to answer?"

"catch."

Conan answered the call and raised the phone to Lu Ren's ear.
