Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Page 429

"Such as shawls, towels, and murder weapons stained with the blood of the deceased."

Ye Ban still feels unwilling, this is different from the script she planned.

"You can't do this! Then tell me, how did I throw the body to the garbage collection site at the bottom of the slope? During the ten minutes I went out, I went to the convenience store in the opposite direction to the garbage collection site. Where was the body? How did I The body that was thrown away?"

"Then who knows." Lu Ren waved his hand, "After you go in, slowly explain to the inmates. They must be very interested."

Chapter 484 The unspeakable secret

In the face of decisive evidence, Hayasaka Minyo had no choice but to plead guilty no matter how unwilling he was.

In particular, she tried to fool Fei Yingli into giving her a false alibi.

She was sincerely let down, and Fei Yingli would definitely give her a surprise when she arrived at the court hearing.

Among the people present, only Conan was still very concerned about the murderer's method of dumping the body.

How on earth did a weak woman throw a 90 kilogram strong man from the top of the slope to the bottom?

Especially during the ten minutes she was out, she ran to a convenience store in the opposite direction.

Conan always felt uncomfortable because he couldn't understand this question.

But this was none of Lu Ren's business. Seeing that he had obtained the lottery number, he took Bei Dao and ran away decisively, preparing to find a restaurant for food.

Although it is already half past ten in the evening, it is already past dinner time in the conventional sense.

But in Tokyo, a city that never sleeps, there is nothing that money cannot solve.

Lu Ren had already had dinner, but he didn't mind having another midnight snack.

Compared to Lu Ren, who was eating his fourth meal, Bei Dao seemed much more restrained. I ate significantly less than usual.

The reason is that eating too late can easily lead to obesity.

"It's a pity that Ms. Ye Ban. Her skills are quite good and she is very careful and conscientious in her work. Once she goes to jail, the concubine will have to find a new hairstylist, which will take a lot of time."

"There's nothing we can do about it. If she does something like this, she won't be able to continue working as a beautician after she comes out. I don't think anyone will dare to go to her for a haircut with a barber who wipes people's necks with scissors."

"Ah."

……

The next day, Rice Krispies Cafe.

This small shop that Lu Ren frequented welcomed a long-lost customer.

"Little sorrow!"

When the wind chime hanging at the door rang, Shiina Hana, who saw who the visitor was, quickly rushed up and hugged Haibara Ai directly.

Huiyuan, who was hugged tightly, couldn't break free and looked at Lu Ren as if asking for help.

[You just don’t care? 】

Lu Ren, who understood Haiyuan's eyes, just smiled back.

Beautiful girls always put people in a happy mood.

Especially after a long day at work.

In the end, it was Shimabukuro Kimie who couldn't bear it anymore and rescued Haibara Ai from someone's 'devil's claws'.

"Brother Ren..."

Haiyuan, who was sitting opposite Lu Ren, had a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Would you like a piece of cake?"

"No."

Haiyuan felt that he should be angry about someone's behavior of 'not saving him until death'.

But looking at his smile, Haiyuan couldn't get angry.

Forget it, as long as he is happy.

"I met this Hall Yingyou today."

"Huh? He hasn't left yet?"

The night before yesterday, after taking Huiyuan home again, Lu Ren, like before, told her everything that happened during this period.

This naturally involves Kiel's younger brother Hondo Eyou.

Lu Ren had the impression that Hondou Yingyou quickly went offline after the red and black chapter and never appeared again.

He also told Haiyuan the same thing, but he didn't expect that he hadn't left yet.

Haibara nodded, "He seems to have returned to school again. The reason for disappearing some time ago was that he was ill and hospitalized for a period of time. To celebrate his recovery, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko took him to sing karaoke. Edogawa Went along too.”

"Conan also followed?" Lu Ren showed a slightly horrified expression. Looking at Huiyuan in front of him, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you didn't follow him. Conan is a bit of a loser when it comes to singing."

"I know. Usually when the music class sings, I always ask him to lip-sync directly and not to sing out loud."

Haiyuan obviously also has a deep understanding of the power of Conan's singing voice.

"When school was over today, Edogawa also told me about Hondo Eiyu. He said that he should have accepted the FBI's witness protection plan. But judging from the current situation, he should have rejected this plan and chose to stay in Japan. .”

"Probably." Lu Ren wasn't quite sure what was going on.

Perhaps because of his appearance, some plot changes have occurred. Or perhaps the main hall Eyou just came back to say goodbye to Xiaolan Yuanzi and the others, and then left Japan.

It doesn’t matter anyway. Whether our hall Yingyou goes or stays doesn't affect Lu Ren's business.

"It's just that if he really chooses to stay in Japan, Conan will have a headache. That kid also likes Xiaolan." Lu Ren was a little gloating. He really liked watching Conan become jealous.

Haiyuan declined to comment. Whether Edogawa is deflated or not has nothing to do with her.

"It's almost five o'clock now, almost six o'clock." Looking at the time on the wall, Lu Ren put away the pen and paper on the table, "Let's go eat, Xiao Ai, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't really want to eat out. Let's buy some food and go back."

The home of the Red Witch Koizumi Anko has a large private library.

Haiyuan found a few ancient cookbooks in it some time ago, and she planned to copy them.

Lu Ren is her first diner, or should we say guinea pig?

There are many reasons why many ancient things are not passed down.

One of them is that they probably don't taste good.

"It works."

Lu Ren, who knew nothing about his future, agreed happily.

After buying two large bags of vegetables at the supermarket, Lu Ren drove Huiyuan home.

As they were approaching home, several police cars roared past and then stopped not far in front of them.

Lu Ren looked over and found that these police cars were parked in front of a KTV.

He couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Xiao Ai, I remember you said that Conan and the others went to sing karaoke."

"Yeah. I guess that's it."

Haiyuan is used to this, "Let's go over and have a look. Just put the food in the car first."

If there really was a murder case, with Lu Ren's speed in solving the case, they would just be late for dinner tonight.

But if you want to stop him from getting involved, then he will definitely not be in the mood to eat tonight.

Haiyuan knew this very well.

"It works."

Lu Ren followed the car and drove over. As soon as he and Haiyuan got out of the car, they saw the familiar Fatty Huang.

"Brother Lu Ren, why are you here too? Oh yes, look at my memory. Your home is nearby."

Lu Ren nodded and asked directly: "Is there a murder case here?"

"Well, not long ago we received a report that a guest died in the KTV box."

"in this way."

Several people walked into the KTV and ran into Mao Lilan's group as expected.

Mu Mu was also used to this, and after a brief chat, they went straight to the scene of the crime.

In the KTV box, an adult male was facing away from the door and fell to the ground with his face covered in blood.

After some inspection, the police determined some basic information.

"The deceased's name was Maoting Tatsumi, male, 46 years old. The cause of death was multiple blows to the head with a blunt instrument. The time of death is estimated to be about half an hour."

Mumu looked at the time and said, "It is now 6:40 in the evening. We received the report at 6:26."

"So the time of death of the deceased was probably between 6:00 and 6:26 in the evening." Lu Ren looked at the reporter, "What were you doing during this time period?"

The first person to discover the body and the person who reported the case was an employee of this KTV.

Facing Lu Ren's inquiry, the young man seemed relatively calm. He pointed to the counter at the door: "I have always been at the front desk to receive guests. When it was about six o'clock, I came over and knocked on the door to call him. He didn't respond. , I tried to push the door open."

"Is it time for his box?"

"That's right. I came to call him because this guest entrusted me with something."

The clerk looked at where Mao Lilan and the others were, "He asked me to wait until the high school students with their children leave the box, and then notify him as soon as possible."

Mao Lilan and the others seemed very surprised when they heard the clerk's statement.

Suzuki Sonoko was the first to speak out: "We don't know him."

The others nodded in agreement.

"What's the reason? Did he tell you?"

The clerk replied: "He said he had left something in box three. He hoped that after the high school students left, he could go in and search for it."

Lu Ren: "Did he tell you exactly what he lost?"

"That's not true." The clerk was also a little confused about this. "The register book in the store does not show any records of lost items recently. Every time a customer checks out of the box, I go in and clean up, and I basically never find any lost items." .”

Mumu gave an explanation: "I guess it was lost in a relatively hidden place, or he remembered it wrong."

"Well." Lu Ren then asked, "What time did the deceased come to the KTV?"

"It should be around five forty. The specific time is written in the register."

"Let me take a look."

Lu Ren followed the clerk to the counter and looked at the KTV's registration book.

He found that there were no guests leaving from 5:40 until 6:26 when the crime was reported. Instead, several new guests arrived.

In other words, the murderer must still be in this KTV.

The scale of this KTV is not large, with only five private rooms in total.

Excluding the No. 5 box where the deceased was, and the No. 3 box of Mao Lilan and others, there were only boxes 1, 2, and 4 left.

The murderer is hiding in these three boxes.

Obviously, this is another multiple-choice question with three choices.

Lu Ren continued to look at the register and found that Mao Lilan and the others came the earliest, at 5:30.
