Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Not only is time tight, but things can easily go wrong.

The best option is to come a day earlier and stay overnight.

It's really not easy to make this money.

"So, did they all sleep here last night?"

"Yeah. Mr. Morokuchi's house is pretty big."

"By the way, Brother Ren, have you noticed..."

"What did you notice?" Lu Ren felt a little strange because of Mao Lilan's hesitant expression.

"It's the ring."

"ring?"

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then hurried back to carefully observe the deceased's left hand.

When searching for evidence earlier, he also found a silver ring on the deceased's left hand.

But he didn't notice anything wrong at the time, he just took a quick look and passed it over.

After Mao Lilan's reminder, Lu Ren looked at it carefully again and realized something was wrong. "Is this ring worn upside down?"

[100th] is engraved on the inside of the ring.

At this time, these numbers and letters are reversed.

"Huh?" Maori took a few glances and said, "Really? I understand!"

Maori yelled, as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened. Of course, in the scientific world, it would be like being struck by invisible lightning.

If he was wearing glasses, the lenses would suddenly start to reflect light.

Then Maori called Takagi and Sato over. He pointed at the ring on the dead man's hand and said firmly: "This is indeed a murder case. The murderer put the ring on him after killing him, so he put it on the wrong way!"

"Uh. Is it possible that he accidentally put it on the wrong way around?"

"Impossible." Mao Li shook his head. "Mr. Morokuchi has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and is extremely demanding in his pursuit of details. Someone like him would not wear the ring upside down. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Maori pointed to the trio standing nearby.

The editor, cameraman and writer, all three nodded in unison, indicating that what Kogoro Mori said was correct.

"As for why the murderer touched this ring." Maori motioned Takagi to come forward and ask him to gently turn the deceased's left hand over.

As their hands turned over, they truly noticed the true appearance of the ring.

This is a silver ring with a large number of bricks and stones inlaid on the ring surface. The number is so exaggerated that anyone who sees it for the first time will be dazed for a moment.

"The murderer made a fake ring in advance. After killing the person, he replaced the real ring with the fake one."

Seeking wealth?

Lu Ren subconsciously felt that this possibility was not high.

As for the criminals in the scientific world, this reason for murder seems too simple and not convincing enough.

But no new conclusions have been found yet. Let's just assume that the murderer was seeking money.

Lu Ren looked at Mao Lilan and praised, "Xiao Lan, you did a great job."

"Ah? Oh." Mao Lilan's cheeks were a little red, and she whispered, "I didn't mean the ring. It's the one on Officer Sato's hand."

"Ok?"

As soon as Officer Sato walked in, Lu Ren immediately noticed that she was wearing a ring on her left hand.

But what's so strange about this?

He still has two rings on his hands.

"The ring on the ring finger of the left hand represents engagement." Seeing that Lu Ren really didn't seem to understand, Mao Lilan added in a low voice.

"It seems there is such a saying. What do you mean?"

"Yeah. I'm going to go congratulate Officer Takagi."

As she spoke, Mao Lilan jumped all the way to Takagi like a little deer.

"Congratulations, Officer Takagi!"

"Congratulations for what?"

Seeing that Takagi was still pretending to be confused, Mao Lilan had to speak up and point it out herself, "The ring."

"Ring? Oh! I almost forgot about it! Xiaolan, wait a moment."

Takagi glanced at Sato Miwako who was continuing to interrogate the three people. He hesitated for a moment and chose to walk to Lu Ren's side.

Then he stared at his left hand.

But after watching for a while, Gao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lu Ren has two rings on his hands, neither of them is the same style as the ring on Sato Miwako's hand.

"Officer Takagi, what's wrong?"

Seeing Gao Mu staring at him, Lu Ren felt a little strange.

"Nothing, I just think the ring on your hand is pretty. I want to ask where you bought it."

ring?

Why the ring again?

People have been talking to him about this topic these days.

Lu Ren recalled what Mao Lilan had just said and had some guesses about the purpose of Takagi's visit.

【A ring on the left ring finger represents engagement. 】

This guy Gao Mu probably came here to show off to him secretly.

Showing off that he is engaged to Miwako Sato.

This was really unnecessary in Lu Ren's opinion, because he had no interest in Meihezi from the beginning to the end.

However, since Gao Mu came to him on his own initiative, Lu Ren felt that he should give him some corresponding feedback.

After all, Takagi is a pretty nice person, even if he just wants to show off.

This show-off also seems a bit cute.

"Yeah, I saw it." Lu Ren nodded with a smile, "The ring on Meihezi's hand is also very nice. Congratulations."

"..." After a moment of silence, Gao Mu said with difficulty, "Mr. Lu Ren, you may have misunderstood. That ring was not given by me..."

"what?"

Lu Ren was also stunned.

Is this another emotional crisis?

No, there’s no third party between Takagi and Sato in the original work, right?

Even Shiratori, who might have been the third party, was sent away by him early on.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ren realized a fact.

"You came here just now to ask if the ring on Officer Sato's hand was given by me?"

"Um……"

Lu Ren found this somewhat funny, but at the same time felt a little helpless.

The day before yesterday, Mouri Ran thought that the person Kisaki Eri was having an affair with was him.

The same thing happened to Takagi Wataru today.

Why are these two people so determined to not let him go?

Does he look like the type of guy who attracts women and behaves frivolously?

Lu Ren didn't know what to say about this, so he had to put it aside for the time being and continued to ask Gao Mushi: "Why don't you just ask the person involved?"

"I……"

"Forget it. You wait here. I'll go ask."

Without waiting for Takagi to continue expressing his opinion, Lu Ren walked straight towards Sato Miwako.

After what happened with Hibiki Eri the day before yesterday, Lu Ren finally understood something.

When dealing with these people, you cannot hesitate. If you have any questions, ask them directly in person.

If you are willing to say it, say it. If you are not willing, then just break up.

The main point is efficiency first. He doesn't have the leisure to play house with these people.

What can't you do with this time?

"Officer Sato, I have something to ask you."

At this time, Miwako Sato was still interrogating and investigating the trio.

After confirming that this was a murder case, she asked more detailed questions, such as what kind of person the deceased was, their views on the deceased, and their specific actions at the time of the crime.

She tried to find possible flaws in these ordinary conversations.

Sato Miwako seemed a little dissatisfied when she was suddenly interrupted by Lu Ren.

"Can't we talk about it later? I'm very busy now."

“This is a crucial matter.”

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, you go ahead and do your work."

When the three suspects saw that Lu Ren had something to ask the female police officer, they dared not continue to get in the way.

"Okay then." Sato Miwako and Lu Ren walked to the corner of the room. She crossed her arms and said in a very cold manner, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Try to be brief."

"Who gave you this ring on your hand?"

"Ring?" Sato Miwako didn't expect Lu Ren to mention this suddenly. "I bought it myself. Why, is it not okay?"

She pointed at Lu Ren's left hand and said, "You still have two rings on your hand. What's wrong with me wearing a ring? You are too nosy."

"No, of course. It's your freedom. But your attitude towards me seems a little unfriendly. Did I do anything wrong?"

"You really don't know?" Sato Miwako's eyes were complicated and unintelligible.

"I think so. But I don't think I did anything wrong."

Is torture necessary?

In fact, no one knows.

It may be a necessary evil.

After all, for some diehards, ordinary interrogation methods are completely useless to them.

Gotta hit hard!

But in the process of delivering a heavy blow, no one can guarantee that they will not implicate innocent people.

By sacrificing a small number of innocent people, we can exchange the safety of the vast majority of people.

A simple analysis will reveal that the essence of this matter is the classic trolley problem.

Is it to save one person or a group of people?

Everyone has their own ideas and reasons.

As for Lu Ren himself, he actually didn't have any special ideas.

No matter that person or that group of people, it has nothing to do with him.

If he really had to choose, he might study how to create and kill everyone equally.

Ahem... back to the topic.

After finding out about the ring, Lu Ren walked up to Gao Mu and said truthfully, "She bought the ring herself, not given by anyone else. I don't know anything else, you can ask yourself."

"Yes, thank you so much, Mr. Lu Ren!"

Lu Ren waved his hand and turned his attention back to the murder case itself.
