Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"News? What news."

He basically spent the last night drinking with Maori and had no time to watch the news. It was too late to finish the work, so he spent the whole night on the sofa in the office.

I just got up this morning and went home to change clothes and wash up, etc., which even delayed my arrival at the cafe for a long time.

Lu Ren pointed to the paper airplane in Shiina Hana's hand, "Does that news have anything to do with paper airplanes?"

"Yeah. In recent days, a large number of paper airplanes have suddenly appeared in the sky over Tokyo. Many people have seen it. There are more than a hundred paper airplanes recycled alone."

"Is this what you have in your hand?"

"That's right! I just picked up one! Isn't it amazing!"

"It's amazing." Lu Ren praised Shiina Hana like a stick, then took the paper airplane from her hand and began to observe subconsciously.

This paper airplane is made of paper from a certain magazine.

The shape is the most common shape of a paper airplane. If there is any difference between it and ordinary paper airplanes, it is the black dots painted black with markers on the fuselage and wings of this paper airplane.

"Does every paper airplane have these dots on it?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. There are paper airplanes with other patterns. Mine is the earliest batch of paper airplanes. I wanted to show you Brother Ren for a long time, but you haven't come these days."

"Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just say it casually." Shiina Hana waved her hands repeatedly, and then asked: "Brother Ren, why do you think someone would drop a large number of paper airplanes in Tokyo?"

"It's not clear yet, what do you think?"

"I think it should be for love. No, it should be to commemorate love." Shiina Hana looked solemn, "Other students in the class said that this person folded paper airplanes to relieve stress."

"I'm afraid not." As Shiinahua spoke, Lu Ren had already restored the paper airplane to its original paper appearance.

In addition to the dots, there are also black lines on it.

"Do you know this?"

"Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Huh? What is this?"

"Morse code, translated as SOS. You always know SOS, right?"

"Hmm, please ask for help. Huh?!" Shiinahua's little brain was down for a while before she realized it belatedly, "Someone is asking for help?!"

"Yeah." Lu Ren re-folded the paper into a paper airplane and returned it to Shiina Hana.

What he cared more about than someone asking for help was, "Don't Koshimi Nanatsuki come here every day? Why don't you ask her?"

That guy is a detective, so he should be able to understand this distress signal.

"Huh?" Shiina Hana tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Brother Ren, are you talking about the short-haired sister?"

Lu Ren nodded.

"She comes here every day and drinks juice like beer. After drinking, she lies on the table motionless. She looks extremely tired, so I don't want to disturb her. Sister Jun Hui usually takes care of her when she comes over. "

"Is that sister very powerful?"

"Uh. Forget it, it's nothing." Lu Ren forcibly changed the subject, "Let's find out who is asking for help."

"oh oh."

"When did you get this paper airplane?"

"The day before yesterday."

"That means someone started using paper airplanes to ask for help the day before yesterday or even earlier. And then a new batch of paper airplanes appeared yesterday?"

"Yeah. Actually there was one this morning too."

"That means that person hasn't been rescued yet. That's a bit troublesome." Lu Ren picked up the coffee cup, "This person has been trapped for at least three days. And the limit for a person without eating or drinking is basically Three days. Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, but we have to take it into consideration."

"Ah, then..."

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll call the Metropolitan Police first." Lu Ren said, taking out his cell phone and dialing Mu Mu's number.

"Officer Megure, it's me. I have something to ask... um, okay."

"The police have not found the person who threw the paper airplane, but a celebrity did go missing recently. That person is the president of a shipyard, named Ikuo Daida, and he has not been found yet."

The president of Kexue World is really a high-ranking profession.

"Brother Ren, what do you mean..."

"Well, this paper airplane master is, as expected, President Daida who was kidnapped and imprisoned."

After Lu Ren made his conclusion, he continued, "By the way, the police also gave me a piece of information. They caught one of the kidnappers, but during the pursuit, the kidnapper jumped off the building and died. So the police still don't know the exact whereabouts of Daita Ikuo."

"Then there are only two possibilities. One, they are a gang. After one of their members was missing, Daita Ikuo's supervision became lax, so he was able to fold the paper airplane."

"Second, the kidnapper committed the crime alone. After his death, Ikuo Hinata was left unattended. He started throwing paper airplanes the day before yesterday or earlier, which only means that his physical condition is very bad and he must be exposed to the outside world. Please help.”

Shiina Hana asked hesitantly, "Of these two possibilities, which one is more likely?"

"I also hope it's the first, but actually the second is more likely."

Unless the prisoner is like him and hasn't paid attention to the news these days. This way we don’t know about the so-called “paper plane incident”.

Otherwise, he would probably find that Ikuo Shirota was tearing up the magazines in the room to fold them.

If that were the case, even if he couldn't understand the symbols on the paper airplane, he would definitely stop Daita from continuing to fold it like this.

There was no way he could be allowed to make origami airplanes for three days in a row.

It is impossible for prisoners not to watch the news.

Because one of their accomplices is being hunted by the police. They are definitely the group of people most eager to collect intelligence now.

Such a group of people did not see the paper airplane news, and did not stop Daita from continuing to fold paper airplanes.

That actually speaks volumes.

That is, there was only one kidnapper from beginning to end. After he committed suicide, no one continued to supervise Daita.

But when explaining to Shiina Hana, there is no need to say so much, as it will easily confuse her.

"The paper airplanes the day before yesterday and yesterday were discovered late at night, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Today's paper plane was discovered this morning. That means that Daida's situation is no longer optimistic. He may not be able to survive the night, so he takes the risk of flying during the day."

"Ah? Then Brother Ren, we have to save him quickly!"

"Well..." Before Lu Ren could respond, his cell phone rang first, "I'll answer the call later."

"Hey, Xiao Ai, what's wrong? Oh, okay. Then just give him the phone number directly."

Haibara's intention for making this call was actually similar to Shiina Hana coming to see him with a paper airplane.

The difference is that the former already knows that this is a rescue incident. She called to ask if Lu Ren was interested.

The voice on the other end of the phone was replaced by Conan's voice. Before Lu Ren could speak, he couldn't wait to say: "Brother Ren, have you also discovered the meaning of the signals on the paper airplane? I have already sent an email asking Xiaolan to find more other patterns for me. Paper airplane, Brother Ren, do you have any new paper airplanes over there?"

"Not yet, I will send you an email if there is one."

Lu Ren hung up the phone and said to Shiina Hana with a smile: "Okay, don't worry about this problem now. I entrusted this matter to a very powerful detective. He will find Ikuo Daida."

There is only one kidnapping case, and even if it is solved, the number of draws will not be added. Let's leave it to Conan.

By the way, he seems to be a little lame lately. How come the several incidents I encountered in succession were not murder incidents.

He hasn't opened for several days.

Wait, this all seems to have happened after receiving Bourbon.

Could it be that that kid defeated him?

Lu Ren suddenly became wary.

"How is that possible! In this kind of life-threatening matter, you can't put all your hopes on others. In my eyes, Brother Ren, you are the most powerful!"

"Even if you say so..."

"I'll treat you to cake for a month!"

"Oh?" Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, "Do you know President Daita?"

Shiina Hana shook her head.

"Then why did you do this?"

"Because I want to save him."

"Even though you already know there's a great detective looking for him?"

"I don't know him, and I don't know how powerful he is. I only believe in you." Shiina Hua looked directly into Lu Ren's eyes and reiterated her point of view, "Brother Ren, you are the strongest in my eyes."

"Okay, okay. Stop it, don't say the word strongest again."

Anyone who carries the reputation of being the strongest will end up badly.

Lu Ren didn't want to plant such a flag on himself.

"Then let me give it a try. Even if I find him, you don't have to treat me to a cake. I'm not the kind of person who is only interested in profit. I just chose to leave it to him because the detective I asked is really good enough."

"Uh-huh."

"I'll call the police again."

After a conversation, Lu Ren put down his phone and said, "Okay, now it's confirmed that President Daida is imprisoned in a high-rise building in Miwa Town."

"Why?" Shiina Hua looked confused. She was listening when Lu Ren made the call just now.

But what Lu Ren asked about was not the landing point of the paper plane? How can this determine the position of President Daida?

"At present, most of the paper airplanes are recycled by the municipal center. I just called the Metropolitan Police Department just to ask them where most of these paper airplanes landed."

"Uh-huh."

"According to the sanitation workers' recollections, most of these paper airplanes landed in Miwa Town. Then the matter was already very simple."

"First of all, we have to make it clear that these paper planes can land all over the town of Mikka, and some can even fly to the neighboring town of Aipado. That means that the president who threw the paper plane must be in a high-rise building . Only at a high enough position can the paper airplane fly far enough."

"Uh-huh."

"There is nothing special about the structure of this paper airplane. It is just the most common paper airplane. There are many paper airplanes in the world that can fly far enough, but this one is obviously not included among them."

"So even if these paper planes can fly a long distance with the support of wind and altitude, this distance still has its upper limit, and it is impossible to support it from flying all over Tokyo."

"In this case, the place where the paper planes landed the most is the place where President Daida was imprisoned, which is Yoneka Town."

This was also expected by Lu Ren.

After all, Yoneka Town is the city of crime.

Including the hammer-headed man we were looking for earlier. Toru Amuro set his sights on the whole of Tokyo, while Riku Ren immediately set his sights on Miwa Town.

In fact, it's all the same.

"Mika Town has many high-rise buildings that can hide people, such as major luxury hotels."

"Hotel?" Shiina Hana was a little confused, "Doesn't the hotel have room service?"

"Ask the front desk in advance not to ask the waiter to do room service these days. The reason is justifiable. For example, I am a creator and I need an absolutely quiet environment and I can't let others disturb me."

Lu Ren smiled and said, "If they really hid Daita in the hotel, this is their flaw. Just check if any major hotels have encountered guests with similar requests in the past few days. I think even if they have, , the number of guests must not be many.”

With that said, Lu Ren made a phone call again.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 498 Gentle and Submissive

Lu Ren did not try to continue collecting aircraft with different patterns and then crack the code.

He's never been good with secret codes.

Even if it can be cracked, it will definitely not be faster than Conan.

What he has to do now is to satisfy Shiina Hana's expectations of him and solve the kidnapping case before Conan.

Then naturally we have to start from other aspects.

Compared with Conan, who can only rely on Xiaolan, his advantage lies in his strong enough connections and the accompanying intelligence gathering ability.
