Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

As Riku Ren had previously speculated, the fingerprints of the victim Mihiro Hisase were not found on the sofas, chairs, and menus of the Shinjuku coffee shop.

But the problem is that on the cup that was accidentally broken by Shodo Weika not long ago, the forensic department personnel detected Mihiro Kuze's fingerprints on it.

This discovery successfully shook Mu Mu's previously firm belief, and he swayed from side to side as before, hesitatingly asking: "Brother Lu Ren, did we make a mistake?"

"The cups used in coffee shops are not rare treasures. As long as you pay attention, you can easily buy the same style."

Before Lu Ren could reply, Hui Yuan on the side took the lead and said, "Since Zhuang Tang Weijia and the deceased were good friends, then invite her to your home as a guest, entertain her with a cup of this style, and let her leave a mark on the cup. Fingerprints, I think this is not a particularly difficult thing. Then she exchanged the cup with fingerprints and the cup in the store."

"That's right. I should have thought of it earlier. I was confused." Megumi laughed a few times, trying to cover up the embarrassment of being pointed out by a first-year primary school student.

Although this experience is very common for him, it is usually done by Maori children.

Mu Mu was really not used to this sudden change of people.

"I actually didn't expect it at first." Lu Ren echoed Mu Mu's statement. He put his hand on Haiyuan's head, rubbed it from side to side and said with a smile, "This kid is very smart."

"That's right, that's right."

The two chatted awkwardly for a few words, and soon brought the topic back to the case.

Mumu said sternly: "If this cup was really prepared by Zhuangtang Weika in advance, then she would have another reason to break the cup. That is to leave her fingerprints on the broken cup."

Lu Ren nodded: "That's right. If you sit across from the Goth Lolita, it would be a bit unreasonable to reach out and touch this cup. Of course, her previous actions may not be very reasonable."

"Wait a minute. Brother Lu Ren, I remember you said before that Zhuangtang Weijia had been sitting in the coffee shop without moving before receiving a call from our police. After receiving the call, you drove her there yourself. Came here."

"Ah."

After verifying the guess, Mumu said excitedly: "If this is really the case, doesn't it mean that Zhuangtang Weika has no chance to dispose of the replaced water cup? She should still have the water cup from the coffee shop hidden in her bag! So …”

"Officer, Officer Megure..." Takagi, who stood aside and listened to Megure's complete reasoning, quietly interrupted Megure's next speech.

"What's wrong, brother Takagi? Is there something wrong?"

"Well, officer, when you asked me to take Miss Zhuangtang Weijia out before, she said she was a little thirsty, so I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Memu's newly excited mood began to turn bad, and his limited wisdom had already foreseen a not-so-good future.

"I ran to the police car and got her a bottle of mineral water."

"..." After hearing this, Memu was silent for a long time. Under Takagi's increasingly uneasy expression, he asked with complicated emotions, "I remember that the police car was some distance away from the crime scene, so what you mean is, 'Suspect I was completely out of your sight not long ago, right?'"

"Hi! I'm really sorry!"

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, don't you come to Harajuku often?" "Well. This is a place where young people come. I am 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.
