Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 148 Eliminate Yonehara first
  Now that Acts 2 and 3 of Sonoko Yonehara's attack have been performed, we are now waiting for Act 4.

But not before that.

【Homo sapiens (sleep)】

Well, there's nothing big going on with Yuanzi. At most, she can ask her family's private doctor to check her out and prescribe some soothing medicine after she returns.

After confirming this, Lu Ren walked to the living room and sat on the sofa, next to Haiyuan.

When the garden was attacked earlier, Huiyuan was also watching. But her focus is different from Lu Ren's.

Haibara was observing the condition of the other attacker and determined that Mihara only had a broken skin on his forehead and a bloody mark. After nothing happened, Haiyuan slipped back into the living room and continued to lie on the sofa.

She didn't take it to heart when the two teachers attacked Lu Ren later. There are always some people who don’t know the heights of the world and have to hit an iron plate to know the pain.

Staying with such a fool makes the air feel turbid.

After sensing the approach of the organization's aura, Haiyuan changed his position, gave up part of the area for Lu Ren to sit down, and then asked. "What do you think? I think the murderer is the thinner male teacher."

The two male teachers who called Yuanzi and Xiaolan little cats were one thin and the other strong.

Lu Ren understood what Huiyuan meant. The teacher was tall and had a large shoe size. It didn't match the footprints in the snow, and the window was only half open, making it difficult for him to climb out given his size.

However, neither of these two people are murderers. But it wasn't Haiyuan's problem, Conan didn't even react at this time.

All I can say is that Mihara's acting was pretty good.

But now is not the time to expose Mihara. As for Haihara's speculation, Lu Ren plans to make circumstantial remarks and answer from the side.

He didn't want to deceive Huiyuan if necessary.

"Nine times out of ten, a person's height can be known from the length of his steps. The steps of young, middle-aged and elderly people are relatively short, only the steps of young people are longer. And there is a formula for height.

——Height (cm) = footprint length (cm) × 6.876. "

Lu Ren looked at Huiyuan, "You can measure the length of the footprints now. Before they are covered with snow."

"It's cold, I'm not interested." Haiyuan refused directly.

Which of the two is the murderer has nothing to do with her.

Conan, who was sitting next to Lu Ren, was somewhat moved after hearing this.

But after a second thought, he gave up going out to measure again.

It's not that I'm afraid of the cold, but it's snowy now and it's still snowing heavily outside.

When we went out, the footprints were partially covered by snow and were no longer accurate. Now a while later, that's even less accurate.

As for judging who is the murderer based on the distance between steps, that is not accurate either.

Because what Lu Ren said before was all from the Sherlock Holmes detective series.

The experience of the great detective Sherlock Holmes.

Conan naturally admires and likes this great detective.

But no matter how much he likes it, Conan has to make it clear that many of the great detective's experience in solving crimes can no longer be used.

Because times have changed.

Sherlock Holmes is so famous that he has already become a well-known detective.

There's nothing wrong with this, it's just that some bastards with ulterior motives used the detective books as a guide to committing crimes and began to learn anti-criminal investigation methods from the books.

For example, Lu Ren mentioned the pace. Some criminals will deliberately control the length of their steps to confuse the audience.

Conan has been exposed to this method more than once or twice before.

It's more troublesome, but there's nothing you can do about it.

What's more, some are so crazy that they directly imitate the plot in the book to commit crimes. Even more of an asshole.

Time turned and it was already late at night.

After dinner, Haiyuan continued to sit on the sofa in the living room.

This point was far away from her rest time, and it was quite boring to stay in the room alone, so she just chatted with Lu Ren for a while.

Normally, Lu Ren would be happy to chat with Huiyuan, but now his mind is not on that. He is waiting for the appetizer.

This appetizer is not a meal, but refers to the fourth act of the Villa Murder Case.

Act IV can be divided into two parts, the appetizer and the main meal.

The main meal is Yonehara strangling another scumbag, and there’s not much to say about it.

The appetizer was more interesting. Mihara moved the body out from under the bed, and then designed a timing device using universal fishing line and rubber bands.

To put it simply, the cold weather will freeze the stretching rubber band, and then the doorbell will ring.

This way you can create an alibi for yourself. This method is more risky.

The door to Mihara's room was basically broken, and Lu Ren doubted that the door would ever be touched again.

He even dared to drop the door and show it to Mihara.

In this case, the crime is basically committed in an open environment.

Whenever anyone passes by there, Mihara will be exposed.

But for now, everything is going well.

Lu Ren went back to the room once after dinner, opened the window and looked down.

At that time, the mechanism had already been designed.

Then he returned to the living room and stayed with everyone.

Being identified as the murderer by these people and then reversed, this kind of drama is enough once.

Another half hour passed before the rubber band snapped and the doorbell rang.

The first deceased appears.

After going through the familiar screaming process, the next step is to study the cause of death.

Just before this session started, there was an unexpected episode.

The thinner male teacher, when he saw Sugiyama dead, screamed and ran away, holding his head, and returned to his room on the second floor.

Lu Ren saw this man's reaction completely.

That's it, the next dead person is locked.

If I remember correctly, this scumbag is called Shimoda Kohei.

Then Lu Ren began to speak for Shimoda, making his escape behavior look more reasonable.

"It's human nature to feel scared when you see a dead body. There's nothing strange about it. Let Mr. Shimoda calm down."

When it cools down, it will be cold.

Everyone accepted Lu Ren's statement and began to study the cause of Sugiyama's death.

"Did Mr. Sugiyama freeze to death?"

"People who freeze to death are usually naked because they feel their body heat up before they die and take off their clothes involuntarily. They also smile."

Lu Ren put on white gloves and turned Sugishan over, turning from his back to facing everyone, "Does it look like he is smiling? And there are strangulation marks on his neck. He was strangled to death."

After solving the cause of death, Lu Ren carried the body to Mihara's original room.

Because the door was broken, Mihara had moved to the second floor.

His behavior was blameless, and no one else wanted to touch the body. So they each left to find other things to do to change their mood.

Only Huiyuan continued to follow Lu Ren.

After the dead person appeared, her vigilance went up a notch.

The murderer may still be waiting outside, and the safest place right now is undoubtedly Lu Ren's side.

After Lu Ren put the body on the bed, he climbed out of the window.

Huiyuan was silent for a moment after watching this scene. She stood by the window and looked around for a while, and found that Lu Ren was walking towards the door. Then she felt relieved, climbed out of the window, and walked quickly to Lu Ren.

【fishing line】

get.

【Broken rubber band】

get.

Lu Ren put these two props into his pocket and used them as evidence for a while.

"Is this a timing device?"

There must be something wrong with such an inexplicable thing buried in the snow. Haiyuan quickly figured out how to use these two things together. "Is the murderer someone from the villa?"

"Yes. That person did what happened before."

That's fine, as long as it's not Yonehara-sensei.

Lu Ren's answer made Haiyuan sigh in relief.
