Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 299 Friday (Thursday)

This farce went away as quickly as it came.

The rock man, who was compared to a wild dog by his father in public and lost all face, did not go crazy and make a scene at the venue as Lu Ren expected.

Instead, he apologized to Bai Niao for disturbing his family's banquet, then picked up his guitar case and turned around and walked out of the banquet door.

Feel……

This guy is actually quite polite. I just shouldn't be born into such a family.

Lu Ren subconsciously commented, then reacted and shook his head slightly.

This matter has nothing to do with him. No matter how the father and son make trouble.

Just treat it like watching a good show.

Or……

If I really don’t have anything to write about in the future, I will use today’s events as material to write about the police chief’s gossip.

——Stern father and his useless son.

That's not bad.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren felt that he had come to the right time for this banquet.

As for now, it's almost time to leave.

I also met the new members of the Shiratori family and watched the fun.

As expected, the rest of the time was filled with various social events and drinks.

Except for Maoli's family, Lu Ren was basically unfamiliar with the rest of them. Lu Ren doesn't need the connections here.

Networking definitely helps.

But what can I say, no matter how wide and strong your connections are, once the organization discovers that you have the heart of a kid, it’s just a matter of one shot.

Rather than bothering to make connections, it would be better to go back to practice martial arts or solve a case.

I have been very busy these past few days, but I can’t say that there are no substantial gains, but they are very few compared to before.

I used to smoke once a day and follow the plot easily.

Now, every two or three days, I have to go out and find cases to solve on my own.

The reason is that the Maori family is in the midst of a theatrical plot, and they have no time to get involved in other cases before this story is over.

This is the bad thing about the theatrical version. There were a lot of small incidents, and many people died. It took a long time and took a lot of effort. But in the final settlement, Lu Ren estimated that it was just a draw.

Because Lu Ren had solved many serial murder cases, but in the end it was just one case. In Lu Ren's opinion, the theatrical version is just a serial murder case, it just lasts longer and makes more noise. There is no other difference.

Anyway, it’s a big loss.

The theatrical version of the story of Fourteen is coming to an end soon, and there won't be any more trouble before Sunday.

Lu Ren felt that he could ignore the theater issues for the next two days and go find some murder cases to solve on his own.

Without plot endorsement, it would be difficult to solve the case, but with the identification in hand, it is not particularly difficult. After all, in most cases, the murderer is not as crazy as in the Conan plot, and he uses a bunch of weird and bizarre methods of committing crimes.

That's okay.

……

"Strange, I seem to have seen that woman somewhere."

Lu Ren was thinking about withdrawing here, while Maori continued to pay attention to Odagiri Toshiro.

He was not looking at the police chief, but at a woman standing near him.

Lu Ren followed and looked over, with big brown waves and a blue suit and skirt.

She is quite beautiful, but in this Ke Xue world where everyone has good looks, she can only be considered average.

Seemingly noticing someone staring at her, the woman turned her head and met Lu Ren's gaze. A smile immediately appeared on her face, she rushed towards Lu Ren and walked over quickly.

"Editor Lu Ren, I didn't expect to meet you here." The wave girl bowed slightly to Lu Ren.

"you are?"

"I'm Shimo Nino Tamaki, a reporter from Toho News, working in Cupido Town. I've read every one of your reports..."

Oh, a regular journalist crush.

Lu Ren had a casual chat with her and then sent her away.

During this period, Maori looked at Nino Tamaki and hesitated several times to speak. In the end, he did not speak and watched the man leave.

Lu Ren noticed something unusual about Mao Li and asked randomly, "Brother, do you really know her?"

The way Mao Li behaves now is nothing like his usual self. He usually strikes up a conversation in the morning, but even if there are a lot of cases on him now, he will have a few token conversations, not like now.

"We know each other. This person came to the office some time ago."

"Oh?"

"It was what she asked me to do for her when she came to the office. I forgot about it." Speaking of this, Mao Li blushed and felt a little embarrassed. "She came too late. I would have been drunk." No wonder he hesitated to speak.

It's you who can do such a thing.

...Wait a minute, Nino, his name has Ren in it.

Lu Ren stopped teasing and said seriously: "Is it possible that this person is the number two?"

"Huh? Shouldn't it be you?" Maoli was stunned for a moment.

"Not necessarily." Lu Ren looked at Fei Yingli not far away and lowered his voice, "Towako or Tsuji Hiroki, brother, which one do you think is closer to you?"

"Then it must be Miss Towako." At this point, Maori's expression changed, "You mean..."

Lu Ren nodded slightly, "The murderer probably doesn't care about the distance of the relationship. Just have a number in the name."

"That's right. That being said, there is someone who is more likely to be the number two."

"Ok?"

"The architect Teiji Moritani, I was invited to a tea party at his house a few days ago."

"Who?!"

"Moritani Teiji." Mao Li was startled by Lu Ren's reaction. He has never seen Lu Ren like this.

In Mao Li's impression, Lu Ren has always been calm and unhurried, not surprised by changes. I have never seen him lose his temper like today.

"Is there something wrong with this man? Do you know him, Ren?"

"I don't know. As for whether there is a problem, it's hard to say yet." Lu Ren said vaguely. He turned his head and looked around, "Where did Lan go?"

The key now is to find Mao Lilan and ask her something to confirm Lu Ren's guess.

"Sister Xiaolan seems to have gone to the toilet."

"That's it." Lu Ren nodded, pulled Conan to the corner, and said seriously, "The next thing is very important, I will ask you to answer."

"Ah."

"On what date are you going to watch a movie?"

"May 3rd, Sunday at ten o'clock in the evening."

"Title of movie and location."

"The Legend of the Red Line, Rice Krispies City Hall."

Sure enough, everything fits.

That's right, it's the plot of the movie version that explodes the Ferris wheel.

Lu Ren rubbed his eyebrows, unexpectedly, two theater versions appeared together.

The theater version of "Exploding Skyscrapers" is all about blowing up the skyscrapers, and finally even blowing up the Popcorn City Hall.

Generally speaking, the movement is even greater than the second one.

But it's not bad.

Lu Ren was deeply impressed by this theatrical version. After all, it was the first theatrical version and he knew exactly what happened.

The city hall won't be blown up until Sunday, just stop this. As for other explosions, it is best if they can be prevented. If there is not enough time, it cannot be prevented in advance, and there are solutions.

The premise is that the plot is the same as Lu Ren remembers.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren then asked Conan, "What did you talk about at the tea party you attended this week?"

"4.29. Tuesday afternoon." Lu Ren's series of questions made Conan a little confused, but out of trust in Lu Ren, he did not ask more questions, but continued to think carefully about what happened at that time.

"After eating some pastries in the courtyard, I guessed the anagram. Moritani Teiji invited Ran and me to visit his exhibition room. We chatted with Ran there for a while. Do you want to hear the details?"

"Say."

"Probably so..."

After five minutes, Conan stopped talking. Lu Ren also felt a little more relaxed.

Although the two theatrical versions are mixed together, the plots of each have basically not changed much.

The next step is to find an opportunity to catch Moritani Teiji before Sunday.

The problem is not big.

... Seeing Lu Ren's brows raised, Conan, who had been suppressing his curiosity, realized that it was almost time, so he asked aloud, "Brother Ren..."

bomm!

A sudden explosion interrupted Conan's words, and the lights of the party were dimmed.

The next moment, a familiar scream sounded.

Lu Ren's expression changed, and Conan ran away.
