Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"Why are there two? According to the rules, shouldn't he be the only one to enter the second round?"

Kotani Renzo explained: "The two detective representatives from the east and west gave up. The rules were temporarily changed."

How can you abstain?

Nanatsuki Koshimizu's eyes lit up, she had never expected this move.

This Detective Koshien project was designed by her. Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew that she had not designed the puzzles for the second round, let alone the finals.

It would be better to give up now and kill the game directly.

"Then I'll give up too."

Tokitsu Junya: “???”

"I'm stupid to begin with. It took me so long to think of such a simple locked room technique. Even if I make it to the second round, I can't beat you, Mr. Tokitsu."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at Hiroo Tsuchio, "Since representatives from other regions have abstained from voting, can we just announce the results of the competition now? Don't you agree? Director Tsuchio? Mr. Kotani?"

Hiroo Tsuchio and Renzo Kotani looked at each other, both of them were a little confused for a moment.

I never expected things to turn out like this.

【what to do? 】

[Don't ask me, I don't know. You are the director, you make the decision.]

After exchanging glances, Tsuchio Hiroo gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Since everyone else has given up, then Junya Tsugumo directly won the game. I declare him the final champion of this Detective Koshien."

"That's great." Nanatsuki Koshimizu led the applause.

Shi Jinrunya; "..."

After the sparse applause ended, Hattori suddenly felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that Nanatsuki Koshimizu would also give up.

The end of the competition was a bit unexpected, even a joke. This was a bit boring, as he wanted to see what the second round and finals puzzles would be.

Hattori: "Is this the end? Then we have come here for nothing."

"Not really." Lu Ren thought for a moment, "At least the Australian lobster tastes pretty good."

"Oh, right, food. Mr. Kotani, please go and cook."

After urging Kotani Renzo, Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Tokatsu Junya and said pitifully, "Mr. Tokatsu, I haven't eaten for a whole day. And you won the game. As a winner, I think you won't grab the leftovers from a loser like me, right?"

You call a French dinner leftovers?

Tokatsu Junya really wanted to refute such an unreasonable request.

He was also very hungry now. Especially since setting up the secret room had consumed a lot of his energy. It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, he felt so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, and he felt a little dizzy, probably because of low blood sugar.

Moreover, Tokatsu Junya also had sufficient reasons to refute - as a winner, he should enjoy the fruits of victory.

only……

He really couldn't bring himself to say this in front of so many people.

Especially after Koshimizu Nanatsuki had already defined the food as leftovers.

What others called leftovers became a victory feast for him?

He is not a thief...

"Okay, go ahead and eat. I'll go back to my room first."

Go back to sleep, you won’t be hungry when you fall asleep…

……

After dinner, all the detectives returned to their rooms one after another.

At this time, Yueshui Nanatsuki found Lu Ren again, "Boss, I have something to talk to you about."

"Then go to your room. I just happen to have something I want to ask you."

"Ah."

After returning to the room, Nanatsuki Koshimizu locked the door, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she turned around and sat next to Lu Ren.

"When I first made the plan, I was worried that I might not be able to find the real murderer. So I made up my mind that if I really couldn't find him, I would just stop looking and die together on the uninhabited island. So I didn't prepare a return ship."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki's voice gradually faded away.

Now it seems that her idea was a bit crazy. While seeking revenge, she also implicated innocent people.

"Don't worry about that. I've already arranged it in advance. A boat will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"That's it, that's good."

"Anything else?" Seeing Nanatsuki shaking her head, Lu Ren continued, "It's my turn now. Tell me the whole story of the Lavender Villa murder case. The more detailed the better."

"Ah? OK." Nanatsuki was a little surprised as to why Lu Ren wanted to hear this, but it seemed unnecessary to ask. She put away her curiosity and started from the beginning.

A year ago, a rich girl from Shikoku Island hanged herself in her room.

After investigation, the case was finally determined to be suicide and closed. Because the villa where the rich girl lived was surrounded by lavender, it was also called the Lavender Villa Suicide Case.

However, half a year later, news suddenly came out that the rich daughter did not commit suicide, but was murdered.

The suicide case suddenly turned into a murder case, which caused an uproar at the time.

On the day of the incident, the only maid who stayed at home with the deceased was naturally regarded as a suspect by the police and was interrogated for a long time.

Eventually, the maid could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide. The case ended there - the murderer committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

"That maid is my friend, Mizuguchi Kana."

Even though several months had passed since the case, Nanatsuki Koshimizu still looked extremely sad when the case was brought up again.

"The culprit behind all this is Junya Tokitsu. He traveled to Shikoku half a year ago and discovered the murderer's so-called modus operandi."

In order to prove his reasoning, he repeatedly explained to the police and the media that this was actually a murder case, which eventually led to the death of Kana Mizuguchi.

The method was the same as that used by Tokitsu Junya to set up the secret room: removing windows, cutting screws, and applying glue.

It is said that he came up with this method because he found several shortened screws outside the window of Qianjin's room.

"But I went there once a month before he arrived at Lavender Villa, which was five months after the incident. Because Chanel was worried that this might be a murder case. I didn't even notice the so-called screw head outside the window at that time."

"I tried my best to prove Chanel's innocence. But it was too late."

After Mizuguchi Kana committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, Koshimizu Nanatsuki still did not give up and continued to investigate.

The media at the time did not disclose the specific details of the case, nor did they disclose which high school detective solved the murder.

After several days of investigation, Nanatsuki Koshimizu finally identified a person.

After she left the villa and before Tokatsu Junya arrived at the villa, only one outsider entered the rich lady's room and stayed in the room for a long time.

He was an employee of a cleaning company and went there to do a thorough cleaning of the villa and sort out the deceased's belongings.

"But according to my investigation, there is no employee named Chuiwei in that cleaning company. I later found out that he was an actor in a theater troupe, and he had dirty hands and feet."

"Did he tamper with the window?"

"Yeah. Probably to facilitate a future break-in. After the media announced that this was a murder case, he didn't come forward and tell the police that he had tampered with the window."

"So you called him over this time. After dealing with Tokatsu Junya, he should be the next one."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, "Not only him, but also Kotani Renzo. He is the butler of Lavender Villa and knows the truth about the identity of the rich lady. She was addicted to a certain drug for a long time and finally chose to commit suicide after being unable to get rid of it."

"He knew the truth but chose to remain silent. Because of this incident, I hate detectives. Especially the so-called famous detectives who ignore the facts and are only good for show."

"To show off his reasoning ability, Tokitsu Junya turned the suicide case into a murder case. However, judging by the degree of rust on the screws, they have nothing to do with the original suicide case."

"I understand." Lu Ren paused for a moment, ready to make a summary, "The window was tampered by Tsuchio five months ago, and Shijin Runya discovered the tampering a month later and linked it to the suicide case six months ago. Is that right?"

"Ah."

"So that's how it is. I thought Tokitsu Junya designed this method himself to persecute and slander others."

It had been so long that Lu Ren's memory of the case was a little fuzzy. He only remembered that it was Shi Jin Run Ya who killed the maid, but he forgot how he did it.

"He should have discovered the time discrepancy later, but he also did not take the initiative to come forward. And for the sake of his own reputation, he asked the media and the police to keep his information confidential and not disclose it."

"In this Detective Koshien, in addition to finding the murderer, I also want to see the quality of the other high school detectives and see if they are qualified to be called famous detectives."

"It turns out that only Hattori Heiji is qualified. Always believing in the existence of life until you are sure of death is the reason why a famous detective can be called a famous detective."

"The others are just opportunists in the guise of detectives." Koshimizu Nanatsuki finally concluded, "The stronger their ability, the greater the damage they can cause."

Speculator, this evaluation is quite harsh, which directly deprives Bai Ma Tan of his detective qualifications.

Lu Ren declined to comment on this.

In fact, if you insist, he is also an opportunist. He solved the case just to earn lottery tickets, not to find out the truth and clear the victim's name.

But Lu Ren himself is also aware of this. When he introduces himself to others, he never says that he is a detective. He does not think of himself as a detective either.

At most, he was the assistant of Detective Maori.

Lu Ren has always been indifferent to the lives of Japanese people. Except for a few special characters like Asai Makoto and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, he doesn't care even if other people die in front of him.

But standing idly by cannot be equated with actively causing harm.

He will not take the initiative to save people, but he will not deliberately frame or slander others in order to solve the case.

This is the bottom line of being a human being.

Moreover, I think the system will most likely not recognize cases solved in this way.

"Okay, that's it. Apart from Tokatsu Junya, I've already dealt with the other two, and I'll include them in the news reports when the time comes."

"Forget it, just deal with Tokitsu Junya." Koshimizu Nanatsuki hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head.

"Give them a chance to reform first. If they are willing to be tainted witnesses, come forward to explain the truth and identify Tokatsu Junya, then let them go."

Since Lu Ren is willing to give her a chance to change, she is willing to do the same.

It's just that other people can do it, but Shi Jin Run Ya can't. The sooner this scourge is dealt with, the better!

"Yes. It's getting late. You should go to bed early. The arranged ship will probably arrive early tomorrow morning."

"Boss, why don't you sleep in my bedroom? I'll sleep on the sofa."

"No, it's too dangerous for a girl like you to sleep outside. Remember to lock the door after I leave."

"Oh."

After leaving the room and sitting back on the sofa, Lu Ren did not rest immediately.

"Xiaoyou, check where Tokatsu Junya is now and what he's doing."

【He is in his room, already asleep.】

"Okay. Now let's do an experiment and pull him into the bracelet world."

The bracelet on Lu Ren's hand is actually called a life simulator. This is what he is going to do now.

It's just simulating someone else's life.

Lu Ren believed that just one article of his could ruin Shi Jin Runya's reputation and make him unable to gain a foothold in the police and detective world.

But what happens after he is disgraced? Will Tokatsu Junya seek revenge?

There is one thing that Koshimizu Nanatsuki said that is correct.

——The stronger the ability, the greater the damage it can cause.

There is no doubt about Tokatsu Junya's ability. He was able to solve many murder cases, so naturally, he was also proficient in various murder methods.

It can even eliminate all traces of the crime, making it difficult for the police to investigate.

Lu Ren sometimes feels that every one of these so-called famous detectives must be registered with the police.

When a cold case occurs, first check with detectives active in the local area.

It’s just like when your door lock is picked, you would first ask the local locksmith.

Unfortunately, the world praises detectives too highly, and many detectives have a lot of backgrounds.

For example, second-generation police officers like Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Detective.

How dare ordinary police officers doubt them?

Who in the audience dares to sue me?

I have strayed off topic. Back to the point, what Lu Ren needs to do now is to simulate in the bracelet world how Shi Jin Run Ya behaves after his disgrace.
