Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Hiroo Tsuchio also gave an explanation at the right moment.

"This house is very old and no one has lived in it before. We have only cleaned up six rooms. Mr. Kotani, I, and the four detectives will each have one room."

"Mr. Lu Ren, how about this? You stay in my room and I'll sleep on the sofa."

Hiroo Tsuchio still doesn't know Lu Ren's true identity, but based on the aggressive attitude of the professional woman before and the rude and respectful behavior of the Northern Detective.

This is enough to explain the problem. This person must be someone extraordinary. There is no need to offend him over such a small matter.

Shi Jin Runya retorted: "No, no, Mr. Lu Ren can sleep in my room, I will sleep on the sofa."

Hiroo Tsuchio was stunned.

Damn, you want to rob this too?

Do you want to lick me like this? You are a famous detective, why are you so mercenary?

"No need. Since there is no room, I can just sleep on the sofa. Director Hammertail has a show to shoot tomorrow and needs to rest well. You are a contestant, and if you don't rest well and end up in poor condition, even if you are willing, I'm afraid other contestants won't be willing."

"Since you're not a contestant, what are you doing here?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly asked.

She now felt very disgusted with Lu Ren. Whether it was when he was on the boat before, he was deliberately mysterious and kept things to himself, or now he was so hypocritical and sanctimonious.

Of course, this is not the key.

The key point is that Lu Ren was not in her plan. In the original plan, she had not even thought of inviting this person over.

This change made Nanatsuki Koshimizu feel uneasy.

Faced with this kind of question, Lu Ren just smiled back. According to his past experience, someone would help him answer it.

"It's an honor for this program that Mr. Lu Ren is willing to come and participate in this program." Shi Jin Runya directly retorted, "If you don't believe me, just ask the director and see which program on Nichimi TV dares to refuse Mr. Lu Ren's guidance."

"Ah? That's right, that's right. That's right." Hiroo Tsuchio was still confused, but he didn't want to think about it anymore.

Just nod and it's done.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki hit a snag, snorted coldly and said nothing more.

For the sake of tonight's plans, I have to endure it for now.

The adult world is never easy. Nanatsuki Koshimizu warned herself in her heart.

She is already 20 years old this year, and has been in society for two years. She is no longer as youthful as before. She can't and shouldn't argue with a high school student like Tokitsu Junya who hasn't graduated yet.

Seeing that Nanatsuki Koshimizu shut her mouth and had no intention of retorting, Lu Ren withdrew his gaze.

I have to admit that when facing doubts from others, the presence of certain people makes things a lot easier.

For example, Atsushi Mori and Junya Tokitsu.

To curry favor with the powerful and please superiors.

He did a pretty good job just now.

But compared to Atsushi Mori, Junya Tokatsu has a worse personality and does worse things.

People like this can use things when they can, and there's no regret in throwing them away after use.

Several people walked into the cabin in silence. The Eastern representatives had been waiting there for a long time.

He was a high school student with outstanding appearance, wearing a well-fitting black suit, with slightly curly hair and a slightly pale complexion. Especially when standing next to Hattori, the difference between the two was even more obvious.

Seeing that all the contestants had arrived, Hiroo Tsuchio remembered his duty and led everyone to the living room. "Since the representatives of the East, West, South, and North detectives are all here, let's introduce ourselves to each other."

"That's no problem. Just do it now?" Tokatsu Junya looked around, "The TV station staff haven't arrived yet, right?"

"And I didn't see any cameras or anything." Hattori added.

"I asked them to come back tomorrow. I brought you here today so that you can prepare in advance."

"Okay." Koshimizu Nanatsuki took off her headphones. "Let me go first. My name is Koshimizu Nanatsuki, I'm a third-year high school student, from Fukuoka, and I'm the southern representative. But even though I'm a representative, I've only solved over a hundred cases so far, so please go easy on me."

Just over a hundred cases?

Lu Ren was instantly disappointed. This man had handled fewer cases than him.

Not to mention that her more than 100 cases are the sum of various types of cases, and the actual number of homicides solved will be even smaller.

If this is to be adapted into a story, it would have to be made up out of thin air without much writing.

"My name is Junya Tokizu, the Northern Representative. I have solved over 300 cases and arrested and prosecuted over 250 people."

"My name is Hattori Heiji, a well-known detective in Kansai. As for the cases I solved..." Hattori counted with his fingers, touched the back of his head and smiled, "Sorry, I haven't kept track of the number of cases since it exceeded a thousand."

"You said more than a thousand cases?" Yue Shui couldn't help asking. In her opinion, the number of cases was too shocking, ten times her number.

Tokatsu Junya: “How scary.”

"More than a thousand is normal." Lu Ren glanced at Shi Jinjunya who looked disdainful. "He has been involved in solving cases since junior high school. One a day, occasionally two murders, in three years there are more than a thousand, not to mention other types of cases."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren was also a little envious.

More than a thousand cases, even if not all of them were homicides, could still rake in a lot of money after some deductions. If he had this many cases, he would have closed down the winery long ago.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu couldn't help but ask, "Where else can there be one or two murders a day?"

Could it be that this guy is here just to make people laugh? He is a complete amateur!

Lu Ren smiled but said nothing.

It's obvious that he has never trained in the detective mecca of Beika Town. It's understandable that he has little knowledge.

"That's an exaggeration." Being praised by Lu Ren, Hattori felt a little embarrassed. "Murder cases usually happen every two days. The public security in Osaka is still pretty good. I also included the commissions to find cats and dogs when I was a child."

Two days together is also exaggerated, okay...

And how can this be considered good public security?

Yue Shui began to think that Hattori and Lu Ren were here to perform crosstalk. It was totally out of tune.

"So you are Hattori Heiji." The Eastern representative, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"I often heard my father mention you. He said you were a very sharp detective."

"Who is your father? Why does he know my name?"

After the incident with the monk Chuanjiu, Hattori realized that his reputation in Osaka would hardly spread to Tokyo.

Could it be that the father of this so-called Eastern representative is actually from Osaka?

Conan explained: "Because his family background is similar to yours. Right, Hakuba brother."

As soon as he entered the door, Conan recognized who the person in front of him was.

White Horse Detective, the son of the White Horse Superintendent of Police, has been studying in the UK for many years.

"Yes. My father is the Superintendent of Police, and he has the same family background as you. As for the number of cases solved, it's more than 500."

“Only half of mine.”

"But this is only the number of cases solved in Japan. I have been studying in the UK for many years and rarely return to Japan. It's just that my mother-in-law always agrees to other people's commissions casually."

Lu Ren: "This time too?"

"Yeah. It was said that the representative of the East was supposed to be Kudo Shinichi, but because they couldn't contact him, they called my mother-in-law. When my mother-in-law heard that I was going to compete in place of Kudo, she was very sad."

"She called me with tears in her eyes, saying that she must let everyone know that there was still a White Horse Agent like me in the East. So I had to buy a ticket and rush back at the last minute." When she said this, the White Horse Agent acted as if he was helpless and had a headache.

"Okay, now that we've all been introduced, is it your turn to introduce yourself?"

Bai Ma Tan looked at Lu Ren with a smile, "I remember the program team only invited four people."

"My name is Lu Ren, and I'm a reporter for the East News. I heard that there's a detective show called Koshien going on here, so I came here to collect some material for my article. This is my business card."

Although Bai Ma Tan doesn't appear many times, he is still a plot character. He must be given a business card.

The latter took the business card, glanced at it and put it in his suit pocket. He did not react much to Lu Ren's self-introduction, probably because he had never heard of Lu Ren's name.

"It's Mr. Reporter. When I came here this morning, I found that only six rooms were cleaned in advance. The other rooms are not tidy and I'm afraid they can't be lived in. How about this, you sleep in my room and I'll sleep on the sofa."

As an international student who has been staying in the UK for many years, Bai Ma Tan has never been reluctant to show his gentlemanly demeanor to outsiders.

"No, I'll just sleep on the sofa. Just focus on the game."

"Okay, it's getting late. Mr. Jia Gu is preparing dinner for everyone. Please go back to your rooms and don't leave until I call you." Hiroo Tsuchio reminded.

"Ah."

"no problem."

"By the way, there are clothes prepared for you in the room. They are for tomorrow's photo shoot. But I want to see if they fit you first. Please try them on after you return to your room."

After Hiroo Tsuchio arranged rooms for Conan and the others, he looked at Lu Ren who was still outside. He hesitated for a while and remembered what Tokatsu Junya had said.

[No director would refuse Mr. Lu Ren's guidance! ]

Hiroo Tsuchio knew that he was a fake and not a real director at all. However, due to the existence of the contract, he still hoped to keep the show as secret as possible and continue to perform.

Fortunately, this is not difficult for him.

At least that's what Hiroo Tsuchio himself thinks.

Hiroo Tsuchio walked up to Lu Ren and gave what he thought was a flattering smile, "Mr. Lu Ren, this is what happened. In fact, the show has officially started after they entered the room. Next, I will do some tricks in my room and set up the first puzzle myself. This is what I think..."

"You don't have to say it. I understand that you want me to keep it a secret. Don't worry about that. I won't interfere with your actions."

"Thank you for your understanding." After saying that, Hiroo Tsuchio was about to leave.

Lu Ren stopped him at this time: "Wait a moment. I have something else to ask. You asked me to sleep in your room. If I agree, will you not arrange the first puzzle?"

"That's not the case. There's also Jia Gu's room. If I set up a puzzle in his room, the effect will be the same."

"Well, go ahead."

After Hirosheng Chuiwei left, Lu Ren sat on the sofa and had no intention of following him.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu's current target is not Hiroo Tsuchio, but at least he is safe now.

To be more precise, Nanatsuki Koshimizu didn't know who her target was at this time.

All she knew was that a detective who spoke strangely killed her friend, so she created this program and invited Hattori and his team to come.

Hattori speaks with a Kansai accent, Hakuba Tan studied abroad for many years and his accent has changed accordingly, not to mention Tokitsu Junya, who calls himself a young man all the time.

It took Nanatsuki Koshimizu a lot of effort to bring this group of "weirdos" together.

The puzzle that Hiroo Tsuchio set next was also related to this.

The method he used was exactly the same as that case back then.

In the Lavender Villa Murder Case, the police believed the detective's words and determined that Nanatsuki Koshimizu's friend was the murderer, and finally forced her to jump into the sea and commit suicide.

In other words, no matter who it is, as long as he is the first to think of this method and solve the puzzle, he must be the scum detective who killed her friend.

Then, his death will come.

What Lu Ren needs to do is to stop Yueshui Nanatsuki before that.

As for how to do it specifically.

Lu Ren felt that severe cases required strong medicine...

Maybe he was a little too gentle before.

……

"The clothes they prepared are actually of this type." Hattori adjusted the collar of his suit, "I usually only wear this kind of clothes to school or funerals. By the way, do you know that Hakuba detective?"

"Well, after all, his father is the chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. What's the matter?"

"I don't like that guy very much. I always feel that his attitude is very arrogant and looks down on people."

"Is there any?"

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Jia Gu Lianzo opened the door and said, "The meal is ready."

"okay."

On the way to the restaurant, Tokatsu Junya asked, "Has that girl already arrived at the restaurant?"

"Girls, there are girls on this island?" Hattori was a little surprised.
