Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 510 Someone else
  Ms. Walnut's home is not far from the Maori Office, only a twenty-minute drive.

It was already evening. After arriving home, Hutao asked the housekeeper to prepare food and accommodation for Maori and his party.

It's true that Mori is a detective, but even so, it's a bit difficult to tell who the real Gari is in just one night.

If it was really that easy to tell, they wouldn't have spent so many days and ended up running to the detective for help.

Hu Tao was not worried about this, anyway, the two real and fake Gari-kuns had been staying at her house for several days.

She had been waiting for this for thirty years, and in this long time span, a few days was simply insignificant.

Maori is quite anxious about this. The sooner this commission is completed, the sooner he can get the money.

The job of a detective is not based on working hours.

It doesn’t mean that the longer you work, the more you earn.

Detectives earn commission fees, but clients value results.

The longer this one-shot deal takes, the greater the loss in gross profit.

So after arriving at Ms. Walnut's house, before dinner was ready, Maori asked a bunch of questions he had just prepared.

For example... the car accident thirty years ago, the style and color of the vehicle involved; the specific time of the accident; the name of the hospital where she was staying at the time; the color of Ms. Walnut's clothes that day; the color of Mr. Gari's clothes that day, etc...

Ms. Walnut answered each question one by one.

After getting the exact information, Maori's confidence increased greatly. At this time, the housekeeper came to say that dinner was ready.

Mao Li immediately patted his chest and promised that after dinner, he would start the investigation and give Ms. Walnut a definite result tonight.

Then something unexpected happened.

"These two people are saying almost exactly the same thing. Damn it."

The brown-haired man with the wound on his back is named Kusumoto Ryuhei, and he is 42 years old this year.

The scarred man with dreadlocks on his chest is named Banba Sogo, and he is 41 years old.

Apart from this basic information, the other information they provided was basically the same. Even the length of the wound was the same thirty centimeters.

Mauli scratched his scalp, puzzled by this. It was even suspected that there were actually two Gari's back then.

Mao Lilan, who learned about this situation, quickly explained it.

"Dad, the TV host also asked the questions you asked, and Ms. Hutao answered them one by one..."

"This is not going to cause trouble...Why are you saying everything to others?"

When it comes to his employer, Mao Li doesn't have much to blame. He looked at Lu Ren beside him and asked out of habit: "What do you think?"

"Me? I have to go out and take a look."

"Outside?" Looking at the darkened room outside, Mao Li was a little puzzled, "Will going outside be helpful in finding Gari-kun?"

"That's not true. But there are people outside keeping an eye on this house. I'll go out and take a look."

While eating, Lu Ren noticed someone outside looking at the room. He didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, Hu Tao lives in a mansion, so it's not unusual for someone to look outside. But now it's completely dark, and there are still people watching outside.

Something is definitely wrong.

"Ah?! Then I'll go with you!" When encountering this kind of thing, Maori subconsciously showed his responsibility as a former criminal police officer.

Although he has been out of office for many years, he still puts the safety of the people's lives first and immediately wanted to investigate the matter.

I didn't think about my own safety at all.

"Okay. Then let's move faster."

Lu Ren agreed to Mao Li's proposal, not because he believed in Mao Li, but because he had confidence in himself.

Lu Ren still doesn't know the identities of the people watching outside, but it's not very likely that they have guns.

As long as you don't have a gun, you can get food wherever you come.

Even if he brings a profit, he still has no pressure.

The two immediately walked towards the door, and Conan followed naturally, and then was picked up by Mao Lilan.

"You are not allowed to go."

"Sister Xiaolan, I... okay."

After leaving the room, Lu Ren burst into flames instantly, so fast that even Maori, a judo master, couldn't react in time.

By the time he truly realized what had happened, the former had disappeared without a trace.

Lu Ren, who had taken three bottles of physique-enhancing potions, although he did not master professional running skills, could still run faster than the Olympic champion just by relying on his body.

Not to mention Maori couldn't react, the people monitoring the house also didn't react.

According to the normal process and progress, the matter is over at this point.

The next step is to call the police, take these malicious stalkers to the police station, and maybe call an ambulance.

For such hidden criminals, Lu Ren could only ensure that he would not kill them directly or attack those fatal parts directly.

Confidence comes from strength, but holding back would be disrespecting your own life.

The only problem is that this time the stalkers are the police. And they were old acquaintances in the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba.

If it weren't for Qianye's obvious physical features, Lu Ren would have recognized him just before taking action. At this point, the two men should have fallen to the ground unconscious.

But...even if Lu Ren stopped in time.

The current state of these two people is not good, and their spirits have become extremely dazed.

Maori simply felt that Lu Ren was very fast, but Chiba and Takagi who faced Lu Ren had more complicated feelings.

They just seemed to have seen a big, colorful cat that was eager to devour others and rushed toward them with a vicious wind.

Walking on the edge of life and death, even if they are police officers with slightly higher willpower than ordinary people, this feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Ren frowned and asked, "Officer Takagi, Officer Chiba, why are you here?"

"We are here to monitor the suspects in a certain case fifteen years ago." The person who spoke was not Chiba or Takagi, but Megure who came out of the shadows further away.

"Fifteen years ago?" Mao Li looked very surprised.

If this old case hadn't had such a huge impact, it would have been archived and sealed long ago.

After all, there is at least one murder case in Tokyo every day. The police force of the Metropolitan Police Department is insufficient, so there must be choices.

But the problem is that Mao Li really doesn't remember any particularly egregious cases that happened fifteen years ago.

"Maoli, have you forgotten? The serial murderer who left scars on my face."

"Matsu...Chief Inspector Matsumoto?!" Maori looked even more surprised now.

The person who just spoke was none other than Inspector Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the manager of the First Investigation Section and Megure’s immediate boss.

Compared to the chubby, round, and friendly-looking Megure, Chief Inspector Matsumoto undoubtedly looked much more sinister. He is tall and looks...not quite worthy of the audience. The straight scar on his left eye adds a bit of ferocity.

He is more like a club member than a policeman, and he is the kind of club member who cannot be cleansed at all and whose hands are full of blood.

However, Lu Ren knew that this man was actually a good man with a strong sense of justice.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have to personally keep an eye on him outside at night.

The problem now is that when faced with the examination of his former boss, Mao Li couldn't remember what kind of case it was.

Fortunately, Memu stepped forward in time to help Mao Li, "Sir, Mao Li just became a police officer fifteen years ago, so I don't know much about that case."

"I see."

Mao Li, who was relieved, then asked, "But Chief Inspector, I remember that you had such a scar on your face before I officially joined the job."

"Oh, you are talking about this scar. It was not left fifteen years ago, it was left twenty years ago."

Then Police Chief Matsumoto told everyone a story from the past.

Twenty years ago, when Matsumoto Kiyonaga was personally chasing the serial murderer, he was accidentally stabbed by him.

Even though his eye was slashed, he did not feel fear or retreat. Instead, he directly took the murderer's knife and chopped off the murderer's body.

To put it bluntly, it means cutting horizontally.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren immediately realized the problem, "Where is the specific location of that knife?"

"I don't know. My vision was damaged at the time. I can only remember that it was a horizontal cut. The scar extended from one armpit to the other."

Mao Li also reacted at this time, "Chief Inspector, do you mean that one of the two people in the villa may be the serial murderer back then?"

"That's right. After he committed three consecutive crimes twenty years ago and successfully escaped, he killed another person again fifteen years ago."

The Japanese police's prosecution period is fifteen years. If the case is not solved this year, it will no longer be possible to pursue it next year.

If you put it that way, it's no wonder that Chief of Police Matsumoto would come to keep an eye on him personally. If we don't catch him, it will be too late.

Chief of Police Matsumoto: "After seeing the news a few days ago, I felt that the murderer might use this to defraud him of the bonus, so we came here to keep an eye on him."

"Just watching from the outside? No manpower arranged in the villa?" Lu Ren asked.

Chief Inspector Matsumoto: "No. Apart from the lady, there is only one housekeeper and two maids in the villa."

Lu Ren: "Then do they know about this matter?"

Chief Inspector Matsumoto: "The prisoner was very alert. In order to prevent him from noticing something was wrong, we did not tell them about it."

"In order to keep it secret..." Lu Ren was silent for a moment and said coldly, "Then have you ever thought about a question? A murderer who has exceeded the bottom line and is stained with blood will face a huge sum of 100 million yen. What will he do? What to make?"

"We took this into consideration, so we sent people to monitor here day and night. It has been several days in a row, and nothing has happened. So..."

"That was before, but it doesn't mean nothing will happen tonight." Before Matsumoto Kiyonaga could finish speaking, Lu Ren directly interrupted his explanation.

Not that Conan is here tonight.

"Conan will die wherever he goes." This kind of science of causality is often ridiculed by Lu Ren, but tonight is obviously different. There is a definite theoretical basis for it tonight.

"If the murderer is really one of those two people, he might have been able to suppress his murderous intention and choose to abide by the rules before. But that's different now."

"The famous detective Mouri Kogoro is here. First, the detective is very likely to identify who is the real Gari. This will completely ruin his plan to defraud the bonus. A vicious serial murderer, after his hope is shattered, you What do you think he will do?”

Without waiting for Matsumoto Kiyonaga and others to answer, Lu Ren continued: "Secondly, do you think this person is worried that the famous detective who has been dealing with cases and murderers all year round may find out his identity?"

"In order to prevent long nights and long dreams, if the two are combined, will he choose to strike in advance and kill people and seize wealth?"

Lu Ren was a little strange before.

The number of people commissioned today is quite enough.

The client, Zhuang Tang Hutao, the housekeeper beside him and two people suspected of being Gari.

Four people just fit the three-choice-one rule, one dead person and three suspects.

The only question is who is the deceased and why the murderer committed the murder.

This kind of person who is trying to get by and defraud money is theoretically unlikely to kill anyone.

They don't have the guts.

The possibility of a housekeeper killing someone for money is even lower. On the way here, Ms. Walnut also explained the identity of the housekeeper.

Her mother died of illness a long time ago, and her father also died of illness three years ago. This housekeeper, Bao Gu, was the one who had been arranged for her not long ago by her father to continue to take care of her.

If such a person killed someone for money, he should have done it long ago. Because Hu Tao, a rich young lady, has a wealth far beyond the 100 million yen bonus.

It makes sense now. If one of the injured two people was originally a murderer, then killing someone would not require much reason or psychological construction.

This is also something Lu Ren is more concerned about, just as Lu Ren said just now.

It is really possible that their arrival tonight led to Ms. Walnut's death.

He himself didn't care much about it, and he didn't feel any regret about the accident like Mr. Gari did back then.

But Mao Lilan is hard to say.

Last time, Miwako Sato's life was hanging by a thread because of her mistake. Mao Lilan was directly stimulated to the point of temporary amnesia.

What about this time?

"The third thing is, don't you think your actions are so thorough? If so, why are we here? If the murderer is as cautious as you said, he must have noticed you a long time ago. existence. I don’t think I need to say much about what will happen next.”

Hearing this, Takagi and Chiba lowered their heads in shame.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga wanted to say something, but Megure quickly stopped in front of him and kept apologizing to Lu Ren.

"Brother Lu Ren, I'm really sorry. It's because we didn't think carefully and didn't do a good enough job. It's all our fault."

Mu Mu directly acknowledged the matter and followed Lu Ren's wishes and began to apologize.

He knew that his boss had a bad temper. After hearing what Lu Ren said just now, he would definitely choose to refute and cause a conflict.

But the problem is that Mu Mu knows Lu Ren better.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a bad temper, but Riku Ren is easy to get along with?

In terms of explosive temper, who in Japan can compare with him?

Especially what Lu Ren said was indeed reasonable. This Lord doesn't spare anyone without being reasonable, let alone being reasonable.

Last time, because the young master of the Baima family made rude remarks, Lu Ren directly used the topic to his advantage, causing great distress to their entire police system.

Director Baima was so forced that he asked his son to go abroad overnight, and then had to stand up and publicly bow and apologize.

If this happens again, who can bear it?
  Moreover, Detective Baima is the only son of Director Baima. If he makes trouble, the most he can do is scold him.

These subordinates have caused trouble, and I'm afraid it can't be solved with just a few curse words...
