Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 588: Secrets to Clearing a Level
"Okay, since the secret room is no longer a problem, let's talk about something else now." Lu Ren clapped his hands lightly, attracting everyone's attention to him.

Unlike the many police officers and detectives present, Lu Ren himself was not interested in the formation of the secret room or the murderer's modus operandi.

It is true that some progress can be made by investigating from these two aspects, but it is still too slow.

If there is really no other way, then it is understandable to start from these two aspects. But the current situation is obviously not the case.

Simply put, Lu Ren is ready to skip steps...

"Lawyer Fei, I remember you said before that the deceased's husband promised to take the deceased back to his room before eleven o'clock, right?"

"Yeah." Kisaragi nodded.

"In that case, why don't we go ask him now why he broke the appointment and why he didn't come to give you an explanation afterwards." After that, Lu Ren looked at Shanhutou and asked with a smile, "Officer Henggou, what do you think?"

"That makes sense. This person is indeed suspicious." Yokomizo turned around and ordered, "Ask the hotel manager which room he is staying in."

"That's not necessary." Hibiki Eri interjected, "He lives in Room 309 on this floor."

"Well, that's pretty close." The room where Hibiki lived was 306, and it was only a few seats away from the room where the deceased's husband lived. Yokomizo nodded, and suddenly realized, and said in astonishment, "Since he lived next door, and his wife died, didn't any of you notify him?"

Everyone was silent.

Lu Ren had never thought of this. He was used to seeing corpses, and he was not interested in the love, hate, sorrow, joy, and separation of family members.

Notify the family? This kind of humanistic thing was not in his consideration at all. Not to mention that he listed the husband of the deceased as the first suspect in the case.

Why call him over if there is nothing wrong?

As for the others, their minds were either focused on solving the case or on the safety of Kisaki Eri herself.

Taking all these into consideration, the deceased's husband became an insignificant outsider in their eyes.

In other words, they completely ignored or neglected the spiritual needs of their family members.

When this accustomed cold-bloodedness was suddenly exposed by a normal person, it made them feel uncomfortable from the inside out.

We are all the same, why do you have to be so blind as to make that conspicuous bag?
Besides, if the couple had not had a quarrel or conflict, Kunibu Akiho would not have come to her house tonight and insisted on sleeping at her place.

If Kunibu Akiho's husband had kept his promise and taken Kunibu Akiho back to his room, this tragedy might not have happened. Even if it had happened, it would have happened somewhere else, and it would not have directly involved Eri Kisaki like it does now.

He had caused such a big trouble, it was good enough that he didn't take action to punish him. Why did he notify him in advance and call people over to quarrel with them?
Yokogami touched his head and laughed, seeming to realize that he had just asked a very stupid question. He turned around and walked out of the room first, "Let's go and question him now."

Everyone walked to room 309 and rang the doorbell. After a while, someone finally opened the door.

A young man with a hooked nose and semi-long hair stood at the entrance. He looked at everyone blankly, as if he had no idea what was going on. "Excuse me, who are you?"

Hibiki Eri stepped forward and handed over her business card out as usual. "I'm Hibiki Eri, the lawyer who is responsible for coordinating the case of your lover being harassed by a stalker. I've talked to you on the phone before." The man suddenly realized, "Oh, so you are Attorney Hibiki."

He took the list with a smile, and bowed to apologize, "I'm really sorry, Attorney Fei. My wife got drunk tonight and caused you trouble. I originally wanted to take her back to the room, but when I called Qiu Sui at around 9 o'clock in the evening, she yelled at me on the other end of the phone and said she would not open the door for me. So I would like to ask you to let Qiu Sui stay at your place tonight. I will pick her up tomorrow morning when she is completely sober. By the way, do you know who these people are?"

Kisaki Eri did not respond and remained silent.

Yokomizo walked up to the man, took out his police ID, and identified himself. "I am Yokomizo Sango, the police inspector of Shizuoka. Excuse me, you are Mr. Takehiko Kunibu, the husband of Akiho Kunibu, right?"

"Well, yes, it's me."

"I regret to inform you that your lover Kunibu Akiho has been confirmed dead. The cause of death was a blow to the back of the head with a blunt object."

"What, what?! This is impossible." Hearing this, Kunibu Takehiko staggered back a few steps with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"I have no need to lie to you. Now please calm down and answer my next question. From what I can see, you have a lot to do with this case."

"Mr. Officer, you are not doubting me, are you?!"

Yokomizo didn't respond, and asked directly: "Just as you told Attorney Hime just now, after you called to ask about the deceased and she refused, you didn't go to see her again. During this period, you stayed in the room, right?"

"You are indeed doubting me." Having confirmed this, Kunibu Takehiko became even angrier. His face turned red and he seemed to want to say something else, but after a glance from Lu Ren, he suddenly became quiet again.

"Mr. Kokubu, it's almost three in the morning. It's already very late. How about you cooperate with the police and not waste time on such unimportant matters?"

Lu Ren put his hand on Kunibu Jianyan's shoulder and discussed with him in a calm tone. Although with his current physical condition, not sleeping for a night would not be a problem at all.

But if you choose to stay up late, that's your own business. If you're forced to stay up late because of work, it's not going to make anyone feel good.

Even if it was for the sake of his own life, Kunibu Takehiko should have chosen to cooperate.

"Uh-huh……"

"now it's right."

As Lu Ren let go, Kunibe Takehiko slowly reloaded his thinking and language modules. At that moment, he felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell. That was not the look a human should have. It was more like some kind of wild beast, some extremely dangerous, bloodthirsty, and murderous top predator.

Extreme fear caused the brain to go blank, the body to become stiff and unable to move.

Are the local police so fierce?

Kunibu Takehiko shuddered, not daring to think any further, and answered Yokomizo's previous question honestly, "After I answered the phone, I stayed in the room and didn't leave."

"Well, okay. I heard from Hibiki Eri before that your lover went to stay at her place because you had a quarrel. What was the reason for your quarrel?"

"The reason..." Kunibu Takehiko sighed. He turned sideways and stopped blocking the door with his body. "Come in and see for yourself."
