Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 516 Sudden Arrival
  One draw for the Whistle Man murder case and one draw for the Nabei Nagaki murder case.

At night, Lu Ren took stock of his gains this time.

Perhaps due to his lack of experience in committing crimes, when the police came to Nabei Nagaki's home to search, the latter had not yet had time to dispose of the murder weapon and the clothes used in the crime.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, Nagai Nabei didn't struggle much and quickly admitted his crime.

The motive for the murder was just as Lu Ren speculated. Heidong Tangji was the murderer Whistle Man who committed many cases fifteen and twenty years ago.

Nagai Nabei found out one thing through his own efforts. Then he came to the door and used a stun gun to force Ping Dongtang to reveal the truth at that time.

The Whistle Man and three other victims from twenty years ago were all regulars at a mahjong parlor and would get together to play mahjong every Saturday night.

In addition, they also like to chat about some reasoning-related topics while playing mahjong.

Once they talked about the possibility of a perfect crime, and the conversation was lively.

The time, place, and goals were all decided.

In fact, in the Internet age, this kind of thing is nothing more than ordinary keyboard warriors getting together to have fun. Let’s just chat and that’s it, don’t take it seriously.

But Pingdongtang took it seriously for the first time.

As an activist, he ran directly to steal the policeman's gun without saying hello to the other three.

The plan was so successful that the police knew nothing about it.

Having succeeded and verified the possibility of a perfect crime, Heidong Tangji happily showed off his achievements with the other three people. Unexpectedly, two of them immediately changed their faces and cursed an entire hall.

Japan has a very strict ban on guns. Illegal possession of guns is a serious crime, not to mention stealing police guns.

After scolding Pingdong Tang several times, the two men chose to cut ties with him directly to avoid dragging them down in subsequent police investigations.

Heidong Doji may not have realized the seriousness of the problem until this moment. In order to protect himself, he killed the two people directly, and then forced and threatened the third person who did not express his position at the time, saying that he was also an accessory.

If this matter is revealed, neither of them can run away.

The third person who was threatened was Susumu Nabei, the father of Nagai Nabei.

Five years later, Susumu Nabei, who was suffering from inner torture, did not want to go on like this. He contacted Tairaudouji again, hoping to persuade him to surrender with him, thus causing a murder for himself.

Everyone knows what happened next. Fifteen years later, Nagai Nabei found out the real murderer and killed his enemy to avenge his father.

This murder, which spanned twenty years and involved four lives, came to an end.

The father died, the mother was critically ill, and the son was arrested and imprisoned.

With just one thought, a family of three collapsed.

The arrested Nagai Nabei not only hated Heitong Doji, but also maintained a high degree of aggression and hatred towards the police.

In his opinion, if the police were not too incompetent, he would not have reached this point.

If the police had caught the murderer in the first place, his father would not have died. Taking a step back, after his father's death, the police could quickly catch the murderer, and he and his mother would not have been tortured by this incident for fifteen years.

When he was a teenager, he went to the Metropolitan Police Department again and again to inquire about the progress of the case. He was full of hope but was always disappointed with no progress.

Disappointment eventually brewed into despair.

"You have been unable to catch the real murderer fifteen years ago, but you caught me very quickly. You are really capable."

Faced with Nabei Nagaki's angry questioning and curses, the police present, starting from Matsumoto Kiyonaga, all remained silent without exception.

There is one thing Nabei Nagaki actually predicted wrongly. The police couldn't catch the murderer twenty years ago, and they haven't made much progress twenty years later. Without Lu Ren's help, they still couldn't catch the real murderer.

But there is no need to explain this embarrassing fact to Nagai Nabei.

Compared to the police who were embarrassed and helpless, Lu Ren didn't react much to this.

Firstly, it was not him that Nabei Nagaki was scolding, and secondly, the appearance of this man who was similar to him was a bit random.

This world always has a little less tolerance and empathy for ugly people.

Compared with the police's lament about Nagai Nabei's "how to be a thief", Lu Ren was actually more concerned about the mystery that he had not solved before.

[What do the letters E, S, and W stand for? 】

Nagai Nabei was the whistle man who killed him this afternoon.

Theoretically, if Lu Ren could find the meaning and inner connection of these letters in a very short time, he could solve the case first and save the life of the whistler man in disguise.

It doesn't matter whether the life of this perverted scumbag Pingdong Tangci is saved or not. But it never hurts to accumulate more experience and solve the case faster. After all, there is a famous detective around who is always ready.

Regarding the question raised by Lu Ren, Nabei Yonggui was not overly harsh and had the intention to hide it.

And for some unknown reason, he explained it very loudly, so that all the police present could hear it.

"The letters E, S, W, and N represent the east wind, south wind, west wind, and north wind in mahjong tiles."

Southeast, northwest wind...

This does seem like a secret code that the poker player can come up with.

If you want to put it this way, then the words "seeing a doctor" and "crybaby" mentioned by several witnesses before should also be mahjong terms.

It’s just that neither lady plays mahjong, so they heard wrongly.

Lu Ren, who had his question answered, waved his hand and signaled Takagi and the others to take Nabei Nagaki away.

As for him, he hurried back home and seized the time to summarize and summarize the Whistle Man murder case involving two generations tonight.

Now that the Internet and TV stations are paying great attention to this matter, the sooner you write it out, the sooner you can get traffic.

Of course, he still had to do some small preparations before that.

"'Crybaby' and 'see a doctor'? In mahjong terminology, 'crybaby' refers to a person who likes to make tiles (eat, bump, gong), and 'see a doctor' means 'always listen', which means poor Just listen to the card."

Faced with Lu Ren’s question on the phone, Maoli, a senior mahjong enthusiast, quickly gave an answer.

"Brother, didn't you join the Metropolitan Police Department twenty years ago?"

"That's for sure. I was only eighteen years old at that time and had just entered the police academy. Why do you ask this?"

Lu Ren's sudden question made Mao Li feel a little puzzled.

"This is actually the testimony of several family members in the Whistle Man murder case twenty years ago." Lu Ren explained the whole story, "If you had been responsible for investigating this case, I would have solved it early. It's a pity. "

Mao Li: "That's it. You are overthinking this. I definitely couldn't solve this case at the time. It was only after I quit my job to work as a private detective that I had a lot of time to play mahjong. I had basically never played mahjong before. Mahjong, let alone mahjong terminology.”

"in this way."

"By the way, I heard you say that. Has this case been solved?"

"It's broken. I'm now preparing to go back and write a detailed report on this case."

"Oh. That's okay. Just get busy. If you have any questions, call me anytime."

……

The next morning, with light and moderate snow, we visited the Rice Krispies Cafe. Perhaps because of the weather, most of the customers who entered the store today ordered hot drinks. Lu Ren was no exception. He was holding black coffee in his hand and reading his morning newspaper.

I have to say that Dongbao’s efficiency is quite high.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Lu Ren finished writing the long report last night. At this point in time, the content and layout of the next day's morning paper of Dongbao had already been completed.

As a result, after seeing the report faxed by Lu Ren, Sato Kiyoshi immediately decided to redo the content of the morning paper and put Lu Ren's article on the front page.

At the same time, Japan TV Station is also following up on the matter in real time. In addition to reporting the truth and inside story of the case, the TV station staff also did something rather unscrupulous.

That is the scrolling broadcast of the "high talk" that took place in Pingdong Hall at noon yesterday. His arrogant posture and disdainful tone, combined with the current situation, are somewhat black humor.

One person's death brings about a group of people's carnival.

Lu Ren put the coffee and newspaper aside and continued writing with his head down as usual.

He ran out of material on the Whistle Man murder case, but he still had a story to write about the rich girl's daughter's search for her first love.

There is no need to publish this, just practice writing is enough.

After writing this for about an hour, Lu Ren's cell phone suddenly rang.

When I looked at the caller ID, I saw it was Belmore.

Lu Ren's heart suddenly became tense. Belmore rarely called him proactively.

I have a feeling it's not going to be a good thing. Could Toru Amuro have crashed his Lexus?
  "Good morning, dear." The voice on the other end of the phone was as lazy as ever.

Lu Ren, however, was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with Belmode and asked directly: "Is something wrong?"

"Well, I had a little accident here. Bourbon and I haven't been waiting for Judy to take the bait. We just happened to be here today."

"Well, then?"

"Then after the disguise, Bourbon followed Judy all the way into the Imperial Bank, and I looked outside. The accident happened so suddenly. Not long after they entered, they encountered five heavily armed robbers robbing the bank."

"..."

Lu Ren paused for a moment and subconsciously began to press his eyebrows, "You mean, Bourbon was taken hostage by the robbers?"

"Ah."

Bellmode didn't know what to say about this result.

But if that was all, there was no need for her to call Lu Ren specifically.

As far as the relationship between the members of the winery is concerned, it would be good if they don't do anything behind the scenes. Regarding the hijacking of Bourbon, to be honest, Bellmore took it for fun.

The real reason that made her feel uneasy and prompted her to make this call was...

"Conan and his gang are also trapped in the bank."

"What?!" Lu Ren's voice subconsciously raised, "Where is Xiao Ai? Is Hui Yuan Ai also with him?!"

"Are you there then? She and Dr. A Li came out early, just in time to miss the robbers."

"Oh. That's all right."

"..."

Belmore was silent for a while, and then he heard Lu Ren on the other end of the phone continue: "Forget it, I'd better go take a look at the scene."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Imperial Bank is not far from Mihua Cafe, about ten minutes’ drive. On the way there, Lu Ren called Huiyuan again, preparing to learn more about the situation from the side.

"Isn't it the end of the New Year? Let's come to the bank to save the New Year's money with Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya."

New Year? When did this happen?
  Lu Ren forcibly suppressed this doubt, and then asked: "Then what? Why did you and the doctor come out early?"

"Ojima Genta suddenly had a stomachache. Edogawa and the others accompanied Genta to the toilet, and the doctor and I went out to the drugstore to buy him medicine. As soon as we bought the medicine, we walked to the door of the bank and found that the bank's rolling shutter door had opened from the inside. Being put down.”

"That's it. If that's the case, Conan and the others might still be safe."

According to Edogawa Conan's alertness, they would probably have chosen to hide in the toilet at the time of the incident.

"Xiao Ai, have you tried to contact him?"

"No. He didn't take his cell phone when he went out today."

"Okay, I understand. You and the doctor stay away from the bank and don't continue to stand at the door. I'll be there in a while."

"Ah."

Five minutes later, Lu Ren and Belmore successfully reunited. Anyway, Haiyuan is staying outside with the doctor now. There is no need to worry about his personal safety. It won't be too late to go look for him later.

The key now is to rescue Bo Ben.

Regardless of whether you really need to take action to save him or not, you must first correct your attitude. Even if it’s just to come and say a few words.

Seeing Lu Ren sitting in the passenger seat, Bellmore said without further ado, "There are five robbers in total. They are wearing uniform gray uniforms and black masks on their faces."

"These kidnappers had real guns. After they entered, they fired a warning shot as soon as possible. Soon another shot was fired, and then the rolling shutter doors around the bank were lowered."

Lu Ren looked in the direction of Belmore's finger and found that just as she said, the Imperial Bank at this time was completely isolated from the outside world.

"It's strange. Don't ordinary kidnappers pay attention to efficiency and pursue quick results? As soon as they get the money, they drive away quickly and try to get out of the encirclement before the police react. What are they doing? Why did they lower the rolling shutter door instead? went?"

As a senior and successful person in the bank robbery industry, Lu Ren was very puzzled by the abnormal behavior of this group of robbers.

"What is this for? To fight a protracted war?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe it's my first time and I have no experience?"

"The possibility is very low. There are so many cases of success or failure in front of us. How can we copy it if we don't know how to do it? And they have got all the guns. It is by no means an ordinary small fight. There should be something else to rely on. "

"Maybe." Belmore couldn't deny it, "My dear, do you have an idea?"

"I'll try it first."

With that said, Lu Ren snapped his fingers.

The world suddenly became quiet at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyou, wearing a white dress, floated out of the bracelet.

Lu Ren ordered: "Xiaoyou, check the identities of the five robbers. Then check to see if they have received my electronic invitation. If so, invite them to my home."

Xiaoyou responded quickly.

[Master, the identities of the five robbers have been found out. As for the invitation, only two of the five of them accepted it. 】

"Yeah, this is a bit difficult to handle."
