Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 590: Final Gunshot
In theory, the role of a detective is to simplify a complex case, so that even a police officer like Yamamura So can understand it.

But many times, the opposite is true.

They will make the case more complicated, confusing people and forcing them to follow their pace until the mystery is finally revealed, when they will suddenly realize and say, "So that's how it is."

Most detectives are keen on exploring the criminals' mental processes. They particularly like to put themselves in the criminals' perspectives to trace their methods and processes.

As for decisive evidence such as fingerprints, they are often regarded as the ultimate killer.

They usually describe the criminals' modus operandi exactly, and then when the criminals' psychological defenses are basically breached, but they are still hoping for luck, struggling desperately, and hysterical, they will pull out such evidence to make the final decision.

It's like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly torturing the criminals.

There is nothing wrong with doing this, it is just troublesome, time-consuming, inefficient and a waste of time.

This method of solving cases by detectives was actually a helpless move in the last century or even the century before last, when the level of science and technology was underdeveloped and even the average level of prenatal education was low.

There was very little evidence to be found at that time, so we were forced to guess the murderer's thoughts and his possible methods and tendencies of committing crimes.

But times have changed. Detectives who still use the old methods to solve cases are somewhat reversing history.

But it’s understandable.

Because most detectives are fictional.

It's not that they want to complicate simple things, but that the creators need the characters in their works to complicate simple problems.

If a gun appears at the beginning of a story, it will definitely appear before the end of the story.

As long as something is well designed, it will be used. It’s a very simple truth.

In detective novels, the creator has carefully designed a set of sophisticated and complex criminal methods, or a brilliant trick.

Then he would definitely let the characters in his works fully reveal this set of techniques or tricks. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of design?

Lu Ren expressed his understanding of this, but as to whether this kind of reasoning-based crime-solving method has any relationship with efficiency, it is most likely not related, and even if there is, it is a negative correlation.

At least he himself could not figure out the modus operandi in a short period of time, so it would be better to wait until the profile reached the maximum level.

Fortunately, it is not necessary to be so troublesome now. We can just seize a flaw in the suspect and pursue him relentlessly.

Kisaki Eri's room was undoubtedly the crime scene. Kunibu Akiho must have died there.

In this case, assuming that Kunibu Takehiko is the murderer, there are two possibilities for him to have committed the crime.

1. It was premeditated. The moment he received the call from Eri Kisaki, he had already conceived the whole murder plan in his mind. He went to Eri Kisaki's room, either to pick her up, or to kill her.

Second, he acted on impulse. When he went to Eri Kisaki's room, he intended to take her away. However, they had some conflicts in the room. This time, Kunibu Takehiko failed to control his emotions and killed someone in anger.

If it was the first case, then Kunibu Takehiko should have paid attention in advance and worn gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.

Of course, even if he wore gloves, there would still be his fallen hair in the room. After all, killing is a physically demanding job.

Even for women, the weight is still over 100 kilograms. Some people are exhausted just carrying a 50-kilogram bag of rice and flour, let alone moving a weight of over 100 kilograms.

If it is the second case, it is even simpler.

Lu Ren turned to Yokomizo and said, "First, let the technical department check to see if there are any fingerprints of Kunibu Takehiko on the doorbell and the interior and exterior door handles."

Yokomizo waved his men to check first, and then pointed out the difficulty: "The doorbell and doorknob have been touched by so many people, there must be a lot of fingerprints on them. It is hard to say whether we can identify Kunibu Takehiko's fingerprints." "Yeah." Lu Ren expressed his understanding. The technical members of the police must have the skills, but it is hard to say how much exactly they have.

Knowing how to do something and doing it well are two different things.

At this time, Hibiki Eri suddenly added, "Not only these places, but also check the refrigerator and the drinks inside to see if there are any of his fingerprints."

The luxury hotel they rented this time did not have surveillance cameras inside the corridors, but each hotel room had a small refrigerator with a variety of drinks in it, which were included in the room rate, so they could drink as much as they wanted without paying extra.

"Drinks in the refrigerator?" Yokomizo wondered.

"Yeah. I was wondering why there were so many carbonated drinks in my room. I thought that was the case, but I just asked Xiaolan, and there were more than just carbonated drinks in her room. Things like this, once the previous guest checks out, the hotel cleaning staff will definitely replenish them. In that case, where did the other drinks in my room go?"

Yokomizo asked subconsciously: "Was it taken away by the murderer? But why did he take it?"

"The first thing I did when I got back to my room was take a shower because of a bottle of drink. I was thirsty and wanted to drink something, but when I opened the refrigerator, I found it was full of carbonated drinks. I had no choice but to open a bottle at random, and ended up getting sprayed all over myself."

"It's easy to get thirsty after drinking. The murderer took advantage of this and took away other drinks and shook all the remaining carbonated drinks to ensure that no matter which bottle you opened, you would be sprayed all over."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren is very familiar with it. He and Bei Dao watched from a distance during dinner tonight. Mao Li was drunk, and even though Kisaki Eri did not lose her composure, she also drank a lot.

The hotel bathroom is separated from the others. The glass in the bathroom is also specially made. When the door is closed and the water heater is turned on, the water will flow. It is difficult for Hibiki Eri in the bathroom to notice what is going on outside. Not to mention that she drank a lot of wine tonight.

In that case, it didn't really make much difference whether she was in the room or not.

There are so many places in this room where people can hide. Under the bed, in the closet, in the curtains...

The murderer only needed to hide for a while and not be discovered by Hibiki Eri. When she went into the bathroom to take a shower, he would take out the body, close the door quietly and leave.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Kisaragi's explanation and Lu Ren's supplement, everyone present thought of this.

"Sister Yingli, you are so awesome." Kitajima praised with a smile. Seeing that the real murderer was about to surface, she felt a lot more relaxed.

"No. I actually didn't think of it at first. I have to thank Kunibu Takehiko for his help." Kisaki Eri also smiled, but her smile was cold and heartless. "I told him on the phone that I had something to go out for a while and would probably be back after eleven o'clock."

"But when he said that, it became like you went to eat with others and drank a lot."

"That's right. It's the word 'drink' that reminds me of the drinks in the refrigerator."

"The murderer must have been hiding under the bed with the body, right?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu pointed at the bottom edge of the bed sheet. "There's blood on it."

"If that's the case, then he must have moved the bed here first, and then moved it back to its original position after Attorney Hime went into the bathroom." Yokomizo tried to lift the bed with both hands, but it was quite difficult. "It's very difficult to lift this bed. It feels like there must be two murderers."

Lu Ren had a caring expression on his face: "What are you talking about? Lifting the bed is laborious and noisy, and if such a large thing is moved randomly, it will be easy for people to notice that something is wrong. Could it be that he dragged the body under the bed and dragged it out after a while?"

"Yes."

"Besides." Lu Ren walked to where Henggou had stood before, bent down, grasped the edge of the bed, and lifted the bed up with one hand, "Is this a difficult thing to do? Xiaolan, you try it."

"Oh, okay." Mao Lilan was not as relaxed as Lu Ren. Simply put, she used both hands.

"..."

The corner of Henggou's mouth twitched, and he decisively chose not to respond. He turned around and said to his subordinates: "Speed ​​up, as long as we find his fingerprints in the refrigerator, he will not be able to escape!"

He was also stupid just now, why did he have to dwell on this? Wouldn't it be enough to just throw the decisive evidence in the criminal's face and then slowly interrogate him about the details of the crime later?
Now, I have completely lost face.
