Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 562: Mantis stalks the cicada
When Lu Ren sent the text message, the reasoning in the department store was nearing its end.

Under the aggressive rhetoric of the famous detective, the psychological defenses of the "unlucky" ordinary middle-aged man were gradually broken down.

Just like the prey targeted by the hunter, every attempt and effort made by the prey is just one step closer to the hunter's trap.

Like Lu Ren, Edogawa Conan also saw through this self-righteous idiot.

With his psychological defenses completely broken, the ordinary citizen, who was completely unable to identify himself, fell to his knees and began to confess his past crimes.

On December 28th thirteen years ago, this clown named Fossey killed his immediate boss on the snowy mountains and framed his boss for his own ugly act of embezzling public funds.

This also led to the family's revenge behavior thirteen years later.

However, compared with the families of other victims, the young lady's revenge method this time undoubtedly seemed too mild and conservative.

She simply mailed Fauci two folded red long-sleeved T-shirts and an incomplete receipt with two corners torn off every once in a while.

Even the anonymous call that Kogoro Mori and his friends received was made by this young lady using a voice changer.

Her original purpose was not even to bring the murderer to justice, she just wanted to sneak a peek at Fossey's panicked expression.

Just...what to say.

Her revenge method was a little too childish. It was so harmless that it seemed like something a kindergarten kid could come up with. Some kindergarten kids were even more vicious than her.

When it comes to revenge, Asai Makoto and Shimabukuro Kimie are still somewhat capable, so at least there's no problem in giving her some advice.

Fortunately, the final result was not bad. The detective she hired completed the task beyond expectations and successfully put Fossey in jail.

Moreover, due to Fauci's self-righteousness, this farce he directed and acted out will further increase the court's sentence on him.

After Fukushi knelt down and confessed his crimes, Conan, under the name of Mori, began to direct the mall staff to restore everything to its original state.

The police on standby downstairs also began to go upstairs to clean up and escort the criminals.

When everything was settled, the customers who had been forced to watch a "good show" had no intention of staying in the department store to shop and consumed anything, and they all flocked to the mall entrance.

Meanwhile, Chianti is making final preparations.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the undead has appeared! Just to the left of the main entrance! If you want to confirm it, hurry up! I can't wait any longer! The finger on the trigger is about to lose control!"

Having confirmed the target, Chianti was like an agitated drug addict, constantly urging Gin to give the order to open fire.

Just as Gin was about to confirm, another member of the brewery appeared in front of the car window, blocking Gin's view.

"Belmod."

"Ah."

After the visitor whispered the adult's meaning, he quickly left on his motorcycle.

Chianti, who was sniping above, was getting more and more angry as he could not get any orders.

"To kill or not to kill? What should we do?" Following an exclamation, the voice on the other end of the phone began to become uneasy, "He saw me! He even smiled at me!"

"Brother, something doesn't seem right."

As soon as Vodka finished speaking, the consumers who had just walked out of the door turned back to the department store as if they had received some kind of instruction.

Chianti thus lived up to expectations and completely missed its target.

"Chianti, retreat and notify Cohen by the way." Gin gave the order through the intercom.

Ignoring Chianti's question, Gin hung up the intercom and sneered, "What a dictatorial guy."

Lu Ren: "What do you mean?"

"The scarred Akai is Bourbon in disguise, in order to trick out the real Akai."

"I see."

"The plan is over, and it's time for us to retreat."

"You guys go ahead. Mr. Mao Li is still in the department store. I'll go say hello to them."

Gin lowered his head and started to light a cigarette. He didn't want to pay any attention to this guy who kept yelling about getting off work for no reason.

The winery withdrew, but the commotion in the department store continued. All the returning customers crowded at the reception desk, waiting for the distribution of shopping vouchers.

"What? No?!" the middle-aged man in the front repeated, "Didn't you say that because of the sudden bomb incident, in order to compensate customers, we will give everyone a 10,000 yen shopping voucher? There's a kid wearing glasses saying this everywhere!"

The front desk staff was embarrassed and said, "But we have never heard of this."

"How could this happen? We finally got back here."

Amid the complaints, Conan, who was quietly observing the situation, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see. Gift certificates. It's not a smart move to allow customers to escape, but it's a last resort."

Conan looked up: "Mr. Subaru, why are you here?"

"I came to the nearby Imperial Capital Bank to do some work. When I was done, I saw you and wanted to say hello, but I didn't expect to be involved in the incident."

Seeing the strange man suddenly appear beside Lan, the old father became alert again and his face was full of defense. "Lan, who is this?"

"He is a graduate student, Mr. Subaru Okiya. There was a fire at his previous residence, so he is now temporarily staying at the new house."

"Oh--"

After resolving the old father's doubts, Ran asked her own question, "What was that you just said? Conan asked the customers to take shelter or something."

"Nothing." Okiya Subaru said with a smile, "It's just a boring story about a group of stupid wolves letting their prey slip away."

"Really? That's pretty boring. But prey is just prey after all. Whether it lives or dies depends on the hunter's mood. Don't you agree? Okiya Subaru."

"Jin, Jin-ge!" Hearing this overly familiar voice suddenly ringing in his ears, Conan turned around suddenly as if frightened, "Why are you here?"

Also shocked was a certain pink-haired man who had been talking a moment ago.

This was the case again. He was completely unaware of this person's arrival.

"What? You don't welcome me?" Lu Ren smiled and touched Conan's head. "I saw on the news that the department store was hijacked by terrorists, and I thought you might be here too, so I drove over."

"..."

"Didn't I send you an email? Didn't you receive it?"

"It seems there are two emails." Mao Li replied, "But just as I finished reading the first one, my phone was snatched away by this guy."

As he was talking, Mao Li took out his cell phone, opened the email and scanned it, then said in a daze, "So, Ren, you have also found the real culprit."

"Let me see." Mao Lilan, who was standing by, snatched the phone and flipped through it carefully. "Is this how you found it? Brother Ren, you are amazing!"

"It's just that the murderer this time was too stupid."

"By the way, Ren Ge, there's another person in the department store who has also found the real murderer this time." Mao Lilan opened another email and handed the phone to Lu Ren. "His reasoning is almost exactly the same as my dad's."

Lu Ren browsed the emails.

"I just don't know where he went. It seems like he left right after sending the email. Even this email was sent using someone else's phone."

"how does he look like?"

Mao Lilan: "A young man wearing a hat and with burn scars on his face. I don't know what he looks like."

"Brother, do you know anyone like this?"

Maori shook his head decisively.

"That's weird. That person used someone else's phone to send you an email. That means he memorized your phone number. A person like that should be familiar with you."

“But I really don’t have any impression.”

"That's fine. Since he's still in Beika Town, we'll meet someday." After Lu Ren explained the matter, he turned to look at Okiya Subaru, "Don't you agree, Mr. Subaru?"

Okiya Subaru: "..."

"Brother Ren, do you know Mr. Subaru?"

Lu Ren smiled and said, "Yeah. Yuanzi mentioned it to me. She said a handsome guy with pink hair moved into the new family, and she also said that you mistook him for a thief and gave him a good kick."

"Ah? How can this guy, Sonoko, tell everything to others?"

"To think that something like this would happen..." Maori began to apologize, "Mr. Okiya, I'm so sorry. This kid learned some boxing and used his brain as muscle. He doesn't care about the severity of the situation. Are you hurt?"

Mao Li knew very well how powerful Ran Mao's punches and kicks were. Although the graduate student in front of him was tall and big, he didn't look like someone who could take a beating.

If this really happens, it will be troublesome.

"It's okay." Okiya Subaru forced a smile, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

His unnatural reaction also successfully made Maori mistakenly think that he still had some grudges. Maori subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Okiya Subaru walked too fast and disappeared in just two steps.

"This……"

"Brother, he's fine. I know him. He's very tough. He's the tough little prince. Even bullets can't kill him."

"Aren, what are you talking about?" Maori paused for a moment, "Are you really okay?"

"It's nothing. He's like this now because he has other things on his mind. Don't worry, brother. If it doesn't work, I'll take him for a checkup. I happen to know someone who runs a pharmaceutical company. It'll be a piece of cake for me to check him up."

"That's a lot of trouble for you."

"Small things."

This pharmaceutical company you are talking about...is it serious?
Conan suddenly remembered that the black organization seemed to be a pharmaceutical company.

My heart was finally at peace.

Lu Ren has almost made it clear. If he still doesn't understand, he would be really stupid.

But the question is, where did the mistake go?
