Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"Yes. Xiaotong, have you ever heard of Bian'an Company?"

"I think I've seen it on TV..."

"I am the vice chairman of that company. I can't say that I am not short of money at all. In fact, I am still quite short of money. It is very expensive to open a company. But with food at the price of eel rice, I can eat it three times a day. Eat every meal. Do you understand what I say?"

"Uh-huh."

"By the way, Xiaotong, what does your sister like? She has helped me a lot, and I want to give her a corresponding thank you gift."

Shiina Tong frowned subconsciously, looking a little troubled. After hesitating again and again, he finally shook his head and said apologetically: "I don't know what my sister likes."

"She likes to eat, but she doesn't seem to have a particular favorite food. As long as it's delicious, she likes everything."

"She also likes to play, but she doesn't have a clear preference for various toys or games. It doesn't mean she likes any one in particular."

"The same goes for dressing up. She seems to like everything, but I don't know what she really likes."

Lu Ren nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll study it further."

Chapter 503: Going straight to the core

She likes everything, but people don't know what she really likes.

Lu Ren thought about it for a while, and finally decided to communicate directly with Shiina Hua to see what she wanted.

Gifts given in this way will lose the sense of surprise brought by the unknown, but correspondingly, the fright will also be reduced.

Shiina Hua really can't think of anything, Lu Ren also has other solutions.

For example...a complete set of physique-enhancing potions.

It's just that it will definitely be an extremely long process to fully realize this gift.

After all, Lu Ren himself has only taken the third pill now.

Using this as a gift seems a bit empty talk.

In addition to this, I also need to give Shiina Hana some visible gifts in the short term.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren called Shiina Hua back.

"Is dinner ready?" The latter ran back excitedly, and soon showed disappointment after seeing the empty dining table.

"It will take a while for the eels to come. I have something to tell you, Xiaohua."

"Oh." Shiina Hana sat back to her previous position.

Then it’s like this, this, and this.

"Huh? That President Shirota gave Brother Jin half of your shares as a thank you gift? That's amazing!"

"Uh. You don't know about this at all?"

The latter shook his head decisively.

"I usually don't watch the news."

"Ok."

Lu Ren originally thought that Shiina Hua was worried and did not want to take the initiative to mention the matter, but now it seems that he is simply overthinking it.

"Xiaohua, that half of the shares is a lot of money. You have a share in it."

"Do you have my share?" Shiina seemed not to understand what Lu Ren meant for a while. After a while, she hurriedly shook her head, "That share has nothing to do with me, and I didn't help much. Can President Shirota be killed?" If he was rescued safely, I am already very happy."

"You were a great help. If you hadn't persuaded me to crack the code and save people, I would have forgotten about this matter long ago. Not to mention what happened afterwards..."

"Brother Ren, you don't need to say any more!" Shiina Hua forcibly interrupted Lu Ren's words. She closed her eyes and waved her hands wildly in the direction of Lu Ren, "I will never take anything that is not mine! If you really want to Thank me, then today’s eel rice is a thank you gift!”

Hmm... Since you don't need money, let's arrange some physical potions for her.

"Then, do you want to add a coupon for a trip to the hot spring hotel? Natural hot springs, free food and accommodation." Lu Ren asked with a smile.

"Um, it seems, um."

"Then add a kaiseki meal coupon. Don't worry, these coupons are given by friends and are not worth much. And it is a multi-person meal coupon. It would be a waste for me to go alone, and you are a family."

"Well, um..."

"There are also VIP tickets to the amusement park, which allow you to enjoy all the entertainment facilities in the amusement park and enjoy dedicated VIP channels without queuing. You can eat inside and buy peripheral toys for free."

"This is also a gift from a friend. You know, I don't usually go to these places. It's a waste to have it in my hand."

"Uh-huh."

"There is also a travel voucher for a three-day trip to Okinawa, for a group of three to four people, including food and accommodation."

"There are also luxury cruise VIP tickets, which allow you to see beautiful scenery and eat delicious food from all over the world. All kinds of entertainment facilities are also available on the ship, so you can do whatever you want."

"Huh? Isn't this last one very expensive?" Shiinahua suddenly became alert.

Shiina Tong on the side lowered his head silently, saying that the first few were very cheap.

"They were all given by friends, and it would be a waste to put them in my hands. I happened to remember that Xiaohua, you don't like taking pictures. You can take pictures of the beautiful scenery around the world and send them back to me in the form of postcards."

"You also know that I have been busy and can't easily leave Tokyo, let alone Japan. You can go out for me and take more photos. I will also be able to learn more about the outside world in this way. "

"Yeah, yeah. Keep it on me!"

Get it done.

Now, by arranging her in this way, I won't owe her anything for the time being, and then I'll wait for the physical potion in the future.

After all, there were Xiao Ai and Bei Dao in front of her. When it's her turn, I'm afraid it won't be many years later.

"The eel rice is ready, let's eat."

"Okay."

……

After the meal, Lu Ren received a call from Mao Lilan. He first sent the Shiina siblings home, then turned the car around and headed straight for the destination given by Mao Lilan.

Come to life!

This place happened to be not far from Shiina's house, and Lu Ren rushed over within five minutes.

Mao Lilan was standing at the door to greet him.

"Hmm? Brother Ren, are you eating eel rice tonight? It smells like eel."

"Your nose is quite sharp. Have you eaten? If not, I will take you to eat eel rice once this matter is settled."

"We've eaten, we've eaten. We ate Western-style kaiseki cuisine." The latter waved his hands repeatedly.

Western kaiseki cuisine...

What is that?

Isn’t Kaiseki a traditional Japanese high-end cuisine? How does this have anything to do with the West?

Is it possible to eat kaiseki in the same way as western food?

Wouldn't that mean removing the essence and taking out the dross...

"This Western-style kaiseki meal, is it delicious?"

“The taste is okay, but the portion is small.”

"That's okay."

Lu Ren walked into the house and met Fei Yingli. The latter didn't show any politeness and soon told him the ins and outs of their trip.

Feiyingli accepted the commission from former national judo ace Yuko Arisawa today. Yuko suspects that her husband, Tsuburo, is panicking because he is being followed.

But this may also be Arisawa Tsuburo's illusion, and Eri decided to go to her house to investigate whether there were bugs or hidden cameras.

But before that, Fei Yingli and his party had dinner with Yuko Arisawa at the restaurant, and then came to Yuko's house after finishing the meal.

After entering the door, Tsuburo Arisawa's shoes were placed at the entrance, but he was nowhere to be found.

Yuko Arisawa searched for a while but couldn't find it, so she had no choice but to start calling Tsuburo Arisawa.

Conan then followed the sound of the phone ringing and found the dead Tsuburo Arisawa in the storage room.

After Fei Yingli's introduction, Lu Ren glanced at the short-haired woman standing not far away.

Hearing Fei Yingli say that this is a former national champion in judo competition, we can indeed see some clues, and he has a fierce aura about him.

But...well, it's still very weak.

Whether she can beat Mao Lilan, who has stopped training, is anyone's guess. Of course, it is still easy to kill an ordinary person.

According to Fei Yingli, Arisawa Tsuburo's death might have been caused by the stalker, or it might have been that the widow in front of him killed her husband with her own hands.

If it was the latter, Lu Ren couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

What happened to him recently? He encountered three cases in a row, all of which were wives killing their husbands.

A high frequency is a bit too much.

If we add to this the incident of a Hammerhead girl indiscriminately hurting people some time ago.

Further back, there was an incident where a barber murdered his ex-boyfriend.

Are there too many female criminals these days?

Lu Ren put this idea aside for the time being, and was still not sure that Yuko Arisawa must have done it. We can't just be preconceived.

After all, it allowed Fei Yingli to temporarily take a break from the busy company affairs. The person in front of him must have a close relationship with Fei Yingli.

Lu Ren asked Conan to lead the way and planned to observe the remains first to see if he could find any useful clues.

The space in the storage room is very small. Tsuburo Arisawa is sitting on the floor with a pile of storage boxes behind him.

There were obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased. It was initially speculated that he was strangled by a thin rope and suffocated to death.

The deceased was wearing a suit, but there were basically no big wrinkles on the clothes. It shows that the deceased did not struggle much during his lifetime.

It can be inferred from this that the murderer was very strong and could forcibly suppress an adult male.

Or maybe he was given sleeping pills and strangled in his sleep.

If it's the latter...

Lu Ren shifted his gaze away from the dead body and focused it on a closed door nearby.

He tried to push the door open and found that it was the back door of the courtyard house, and going out of this door, he was facing the garage of the house.

Lu Ren pointed to the white car in the garage, "Did she drive you here this time?"

Conan replied: "Yeah."

"Has she never left your sight since entering the house?"

"No. Ms. Yuko said she wanted to find her husband, so we were waiting for her in the living room while looking at the trophies." Xiaolan added, "Ms. Yuko is very good. The living room is filled with her trophies."

living room……

It happens to be a blind spot in the field of vision.

The storage room where the deceased was found is right next to the back door of the house, and you can see your car when you go out.

It's hard to say this is just a coincidence.

Assuming that the murderer was Yuko Arisawa, she put her husband's body in the trunk of the car. After returning home, she moved the body to the storage room near the back door in the name of looking for her husband.

It's definitely impossible to kill him now.

Lu Ren also knows some simple autopsy techniques. It is now 9:40 in the evening, Mao Lilan called him around 9:30, and the death time of the body was about half an hour ago.

That is between nine and nine ten.

Lu Ren told Conan and the others his speculations.

"Ah? This is impossible." Mao Lilan's reaction was particularly fierce. As soon as she heard that Lu Ren suspected Arisawa Yuko's murderer, she hurriedly defended her senior and idol, "We have been staying together tonight, Ms. Yuko She didn’t have time to commit the crime.”

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, "Does she have an alibi?"

"No, not necessarily." Before Mao Lilan continued to nod, Fei Yingli denied her daughter's statement, "You forgot, during dinner tonight, she left for about ten minutes on the excuse of going to the toilet. Then It will be exactly nine o'clock in the evening."

Due to professional habits, Fei Yingli is extremely time-sensitive.
