Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Looking at Takagi who was bending and bowing in front of him, Megumi's expression changed several times. He took a few deep breaths and finally gave up the idea of ​​scolding Takagi.

It’s not that you can’t scold, it’s that you can’t scold now.

Because Lu Ren is here.

No matter how outstanding Lu Ren's reasoning ability is, Mu Mu will never ignore his damn true identity.

An unscrupulous reporter who makes waves even when there is no wind.

This would allow him to seize the opportunity and publish this matter in the newspapers. Just writing a few sentences will disgrace their entire police system.

Those readers will definitely elevate Takagi Wataru's very individual behavior directly to the entire police group.

Takagi Wataru will definitely be unlucky when the time comes, and as his direct boss, Megure's own fate may not be much better.

"Forget it, I won't do it next time. Takagi, go search Zhuangtang Weika's bag and see if there is any glass from the store in her bag."

"Yes."

Watching Takagi leave, Lu Ren continued: "Actually, even if the cup is found in the bag, it cannot be used as absolute evidence. As Xiao Ai said, this kind of cup is very common. We cannot prove that the cup in her bag must be It’s from the store.”

"Yeah." Seeing that Lu Ren had no intention of holding on to this matter, Mu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "Brother Lu Ren, what should we do next?"

"Let's go over the previous speculations from the beginning." After saying this, Lu Ren paused for a moment, "Assuming that Ms. Zhuangtang Weijia is the murderer, then she was dressed the same as the victim at 12:30 noon. Gothic lolita outfit. The two walked into the Yoyogi Park restroom in Harajuku together."

"Immediately afterwards, Shodo Yuika strangled the victim there. Then she took a car or subway to a cafe in Shinjuku."

Mu Mu nodded, indicating that Lu Ren was right.

"Let's first analyze the time when the crime was committed. It will be lunch time at 12:30 noon. I think Zhuangtang Weijia made an appointment with the victim at the beginning to have dinner together at noon, and then go shopping together after dinner. .So the time they agreed to meet was not at one o'clock in the afternoon, but around twelve noon."

"Ah."

"And because the victim's fingerprints were found on the broken water glass, according to Xiao Ai's speculation, she had prepared this evidence in advance, which was a premeditated murder. In this case, the crime location must have been selected in advance. .”

"In other words, the meeting place originally agreed upon by the two was probably Yoyogi Park in Harajuku, not the Shinjuku Cafe as Shodo Weika said. After the two met here, Shodo Weika used a certain For some reason, he lured the victim to the park toilet and killed her there."

"As for what the reason is..." Lu Ren was silent for a moment and then said thoughtfully, "It should be an appointment to go to the toilet together or something."

"Um. Brother Lu Ren, there is nothing wrong with what you said before. That's the reason. Isn't it wrong?" Mu Mu objected to this, "I also know that good friends will go to the bathroom together, but that's not the case. Is it something we did together when we were students? Junior high school students, high school students, etc. The victim and Zhuangtang Weika have already entered the society and started working. Will they really do this kind of thing together again? "

Regarding Mu Mu's doubts, Lu Ren admitted: "It is indeed a bit inappropriate. But there is no better or more reasonable explanation, right?"

"Change."

While the two were silent, Haiyuan on the side gave another completely different explanation.

"Changing clothes?"

"Yes. The crime occurred in Harajuku. Some of the women queuing up in the public toilets there were not there to satisfy their personal physiological needs, but to change into the clothes they bought in that toilet."

"So Xiao Ai, what you are saying is that Zhuangtang Weijia coaxed the victim into the toilet in the name of changing clothes?"

"Yes. Brother Ren, you said before that the murderer was probably the victim who took advantage of the fashion trend of 'Gemini Fashion'. 'Gemini Fashion' not only refers to the same clothes, it also has requirements for makeup."

"If the two people don't communicate in advance, they will most likely wear different makeup, which will not constitute 'twin fashion.' So I think the murderer probably took the victim to the public toilet for this reason and then changed it together." Clothes and makeup.”

I don't know if it's because it involves the fashion field that Haiyuan is very interested in. Compared with the previous little transparent ones, she talked a little extra much today.

However, Lu Ren is not disgusted with this, and is even very happy to see it happen.

If someone else pointed out and reminded him like this, even if Lu Ren didn't say anything, he would feel a little unhappy in his heart. It’s human nature and inevitable.

Xiao Ai's words are completely fine.

He smiled again and rubbed Haiyuan's little head, his eyes full of doting that "his child has finally made his mark".

"Your guess makes sense. Officer Megure, this should be the truth."

"Well..." Compared to Mr. Lu who was smiling so hard that his molars were almost visible, Mu Mu's smile seemed much more forced, "But brother Lu Ren, if that's the case, then the search would be too difficult. "

"I originally thought that if two goth lolita came to Yoyogi Park together. With such eye-catching clothes, other people would have an impression. Then I would use this to find witnesses and check surveillance. . But if it’s two pairs of ordinary clothes, after investigation..."

Lu Ren asked, "Officer Megure, do you rarely come to Harajuku?"

"Yeah. This is a place for young people. I'm usually busy with work, so I won't join in the fun."

"That's no wonder. In fact, if you come here a few times, you will understand. In Harajuku, a fashionable place for young people in Japan, two gothic lolita clothes are really ordinary and will not attract the attention of others at all. .”

Lu Ren gave Mu Mu a blow, and then said, "But what you said does make sense. According to Xiao Ai, if you include the makeup time, they are probably between 11 and 12 o'clock in the morning. They met at Yoyogi Park. The police can investigate the surveillance in the Harajuku area during this time to see if they can find evidence that the two appeared at the same time."

"Furthermore, if the victim changed clothes after walking into the toilet in regular clothes, then Zhuangtang Weijia should have found a place nearby to dispose of the clothes she took off before. We can send some more people there Look through the nearby trash can.”

"Makes sense."

Mu Mu raised his hand to summon a few tool policemen, and casually relayed Lu Ren's request just now.

Some of them are lucky enough to check the surveillance. As for the other part, I can only give them a hard time and dig through the trash can.

After giving instructions to these men, the policemen who had been sent to investigate by Memu arrived at the scene with the investigation results.

"Sir, we found Ms. Shodo Yuika's fingerprints in the public toilet opposite the Shinjuku coffee shop. But we did not find the Gothic lolita costume you mentioned. In addition, we did not find the victim in that public toilet. fingerprints."

"Yes." Mumu held his stomach up, nodded slightly, said a few words casually, and then waved them away.

"Brother Lu Ren, Zhuang Tang Weijia is indeed very likely to be the murderer."

"That's right. It's just that we haven't found conclusive evidence yet. And we must prepare for the worst now. If Weika Zhuangtang's Gothic lolita suit cannot be found, then the one the deceased may have worn in front of her body Ordinary clothes may not be found within a short period of time.”

Mumu looked confused: "Then what should we do now?"

"Two directions. One is to search the public toilets in Yoyogi Park for evidence that Shodo Yuika has been there, such as fingerprints, skin scraps, hair, etc. Not only the cubicle where the victim was found, but also all the cubicles. We have to look for it every time. Just like what Xiao Ai said, Zhuangtang Weijia also changed her clothes there, and evidence will probably be left behind."

"The second thing is to investigate the store that sells this gothic lolita clothes. If they really bought two pairs of the same clothes, they should have bought them in the same store. And they probably went there together."

"That makes sense. Then..."

"Officer Megure." Before Megure finished speaking, Takagi ran over with an apologetic look on his face. "No glass was found in Ms. Zhuangtang Weijia's bag. I'm really sorry."

After saying that, he bowed deeply again.

"You really did something wrong in this matter. Write me a letter of apology when you get back. Now raise your head."

"Yes."

"I have a very important task for you now. You should go back to the crime scene immediately and check all the cubicles in the women's restroom over there."

Megure briefly told Takagi the importance of this job. He patted Takagi on the shoulder and encouraged him sincerely, "Do it well this time."

"Yes!" Takagi mustered up his energy, followed the order and left quickly.

"Officer Takagi is really motivated."

"Yes. Although he is usually a bit rough, but when he is serious, he is still very good." Mumu sighed.

These compliments could only be said behind the back. If he really had to praise people in person, he was really afraid that Takagi would turn around and get carried away.

While the huge advantages brought by youth are also accompanied by some shortcomings that are difficult to avoid.

But, even so...

Memu looked at Takagi who was walking away, his eyes reflecting himself twenty years ago.

"Brother Lu Ren, let's go and find Zhuangtang Weijia. Let's see where we bought that gothic lolita dress."

"Ah."

……

Just as Lu Ren and others speculated, Zhuangtang Weijia did know the store where the victim bought the clothes, but she firmly refused to admit that she also bought a set of the same style of clothes.

In order to clear herself of the suspicion, she offered to take everyone to a shop selling Gothic Lolita clothes.

This store is located in the Shibuya area of ​​Tokyo and is called "Gothic Lolita Sayaka". It is a gothic lolita clothing store.

Memu handed over the victim's driver's license to the female clerk who was also wearing a Gothic lolita costume.

Looking at the photo on the driver's license, the clerk confirmed: "Yes, this lady came to buy Gothic Lolita clothes yesterday evening. The style she bought is an original style in our store, and it was sold out in one day yesterday. "

"That……"

"Excuse me, did she come alone?" As soon as Mumu started talking, Zhuangtang Weijia asked first.

The female clerk hesitated for a moment visibly, and finally nodded, "Yes."

"You seem a little hesitant. Is there something wrong?"

"Mr. Police Officer, are you asking a leading question? Are you still..."

Lu Ren snapped his fingers, and the latter fell silent instantly. He looked at the clerk and motioned for him to continue.

"The lady did come alone, but she bought two outfits."

really.

Lu Ren glanced at Zhuangtang Weijia, whose eyes were still dull, and thought how dare she offer to bring them to the store.

Then I thought about it, since this dress is an original style of this store. Even if Zhuangtang Weijia didn't bring them here, the police would be able to find the store in a short time, which would make her feel guilty.

But the final result is fine.

"Did Ms. Kuze tell you why she bought two sets of clothes?"

"I didn't say it clearly, but I guess she wanted to wear it with her best friend. This is a very popular fashion trend recently. She is a regular customer of our store and has purchased identical clothes many times before. .”

"Is this the lady that Jiuse mentioned as her best friend?" Lu Ren pointed at Zhuangtang Weijia, who was still in a dazed state.

"I don't know about that. But the relationship between the two of them must be very good. Every time Miss Kuze mentions her best friend, she always looks proud."

"Ah."

"Brother Lu Ren. Takagi has made a major discovery." While Lu Ren was chatting with the clerk, Mu Mu walked over excitedly holding up the phone, "He detected Lu Ren on the toilet shelf in the cubicle at the crime scene. Milo reacted. And the blood was not from the deceased."

"Blood reaction?"

"It should be the arm." Conan added the last stab. "She wanted to raise her hand to see the time on her watch, but she put her arm down halfway and took out her mobile phone from her bag."

Without saying a word, Mumu grabbed Zhuangtang Weijia's wrist and directly rolled up her sleeves. There were scratch marks on her left wrist.

"This should be proof that she strangled the victim's neck to death, and the victim struggled and scratched her." After saying that, Lu Ren snapped his fingers again, "The murderer of Miss Hisase is you, Ms. Shodo Yuika."

ps: There is also a dialogue about friendship in this episode. By Shodo Weika and Suzuki Sonoko. I won’t post it here, I always feel like it doesn’t have that momentum when written down. It’s best for everyone to just watch the anime. In episodes 626-627 of Guide Station B, the dialogue is in the menu at the end of the credits.

Chapter 554 Happy New Year

Faced with the evidence listed by the police, Zhuangtang Weijia did not continue to defend himself.

She lowered her head slightly and smiled silently, as if she suddenly let go of something on her mind, and admitted the crime she had committed before with a very calm expression.

"Yes, I killed her. As for the reason..." Zhuangtang Weijia glanced at the two best friends who were clinging to each other.

They are so close, so nostalgic, and so... disgusting.

Everything in the past appears one by one in front of my eyes like a fleeting glance. Once upon a time, she and Mihiro Kuse were extremely close like this. They talked about everything with each other and were best friends.

But... everything changed unconsciously.

What was once a best friend has turned into a murderous enemy.

Shodo Weika originally wanted to denounce Kuse Mihiro's evil deeds and explain to everyone why she wanted to kill her.

Especially the two young best friends in front of her. Not only did she want to explain her motive for murder to them, but she also wanted to use it to make some sarcastic remarks.

For example, "Friendship is so fragile. I will be you tomorrow."

But as soon as the words came to her lips, she gave up the plan again.

The tears she shed in the car had some effect after all. At first, she just planned to put on a crying scene to clear her suspicions.

But when the love becomes intense, Zhuangtang Weijia himself doesn't know whether he is acting on the occasion or showing his true feelings, or both.

Zhuangtang Weijia couldn't tell the difference and didn't want to.

Forget it.

Think of it as the last dignity and farewell left to Kuse Mihiro.

Perhaps when she stands in the dock in court in the future, in order to get a lighter sentence, she will reveal the evil things that Mihiro Kuze has done.

But at least for now, she prefers to stay silent.

Zhuangtang Weijia took the initiative to tie up her hands, turned around and left the place with Officer Memu.

Before getting into the car, she looked back at the people who were walking out with her.

The pair of young best friends still seemed extremely close, but this time, they were much more pleasing to the eye.
