Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 598: Bold Assumption
To be honest, Lu Ren is not new to revenge dramas.

There are too many people who kill in anger and revenge for their children, friends, family members, lovers, and students.

But the problem is that in order to avenge the deceased, he chose to kill the deceased's father...

Lu Ren had never seen this scene before.

Looking through the hundreds of episodes of Conan, Lu Ren has never seen a case where parents took the initiative to kill their own children. Even if there are any, it is basically the children who betrayed their fathers.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs." - This is people's very simple and universal concept of good and evil.

For example, a murderer has come forward and said that his motive for killing was to avenge the drowned child, and the murderer back then was the child's biological father.

Lu Ren just thought this was nonsense.

Unless...the child named Tatsuhiko is not Numayama's biological child.

Lu Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps it was because the child was not his biological one that the bald man Numayama felt evil in his heart, so he deliberately created an accident on a rainy day more than ten years ago and drowned the child.

The child's biological father didn't believe it was just an accident, so he has been searching for evidence over the years.

Until recently, he finally found evidence proving that the bald man was the murderer. In order to avenge his child, he chose to kill the bald man this morning.

If so, it all makes sense.

Including the bald man's action of kicking the grave yesterday afternoon, which corresponds exactly to the evil ghost in Lu Ren's story.

His purpose was to make that child never be reborn, because that child was not his at all!
But if this is true, then this bald boss is really pitiful.

The child was not his, and judging from the condition, his wife had probably died long ago, and maybe she had died of complications during childbirth. Now he himself had been killed, and was being pressed into this stinking water, enduring both mental and physical torture, and dying in endless pain.

Judging from the stench of the stinking water, it's no different from committing suicide by swallowing feces.

Being pressed to death in here... Lu Ren rarely felt sympathy for the deceased.

The death was too miserable and too undignified.

And even if the deceased was at fault for killing someone else's child, there was no need for the murderer to take such extreme revenge.

Besides, don’t all these tragedies originate from the murderer himself?

If he could control his lower body, he wouldn't have ruined a family of three.

After secretly complaining about it, Lu Ren turned his attention back to the case itself. If the murderer's motive for murder was really as he guessed, then the next thing would be much simpler.

First of all, we can rule out Xiaopang as a suspect. It is unclear whether he was born more than 20 years ago.

The only ones left were Tokubi Rokuro, the curly-haired man, and the hotel receptionist who was also a waiter and chef.

These three people are all in their forties, and their twenty years are the time when they are at their most vigorous and full of youthful vigor.

There was a high possibility that I would have made a big mistake accidentally at that time.

The next thing to do is to collect the DNA of these three people and see who can match Chen Yan's DNA. The one who can match is most likely the murderer.

The only problem is that Chen Yan has been dead for more than ten years, and his remains are probably just a skeleton. It is not easy to extract DNA from it.

But this was not the problem he was worried about. Lu Ren stepped forward and put his arm around Shancuncao's shoulders, led him out of the attic, and then repeated his guess in his ear.

"What?!" Shancuncao was startled. He was about to repeat loudly what Lu Ren had just said, but then he came to his senses. He looked back at the people standing in the attic and whispered to Lu Ren in a low voice, "Your guess makes sense. I will order my men to dig up the child's grave right now."

"..." Hearing this, Lu Ren felt powerless. "It's an investigation and evidence collection. Please don't act like a gang member, okay?"

"It's all the same." Shancuncao smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about these details."

As he said that, he walked aside and started making phone calls.

Looking at Shancun Cao, who was extremely excited and had a hint of fanaticism in his expression, Lu Ren shook his head slightly, turned around and walked back to the attic.

Honestly speaking, judging from Shancuncao's current performance, Lu Ren began to doubt whether this guy was also his colleague. Even if he was not yet, his madness was enough to meet the standards for joining the club.

Seeing Lu Ren coming in, Conan was the first to come over. He was very curious about the private conversation between Lu Ren and Shancuncao, and if he hadn't known Lu Ren's methods, he would have sneaked over to eavesdrop.

"Brother Ren, what were you talking about with Officer Shancun just now?"

"Nothing." Lu Ren smiled and rubbed Conan's head, "Just a little guess."

Telling Yamamura Sou could be considered necessary to solve the case, but telling Conan would be completely unnecessary.

Besides, even if it is confirmed that one of the people present is Chen Yan's biological father, we cannot directly say that the bald man was murdered. We must have other more direct evidence to support it.

"Have you made any new discoveries?"

"One thing." Conan pointed to the children's shoes on the ground. "These are the shoes that Tatsuhiko wore on the day he drowned. Also, the source of the stinky water has been basically determined. It should be a reservoir downstream, more than ten kilometers from here."

"Reservoir?"

"Yes. The reservoir was seriously polluted because the villagers dumped garbage into it all year round. The villagers even gave it a name - 'Hell Swamp Where Kappa Lives'. And it is said that Tatsuhiko was also found in the reservoir at that time."

"Kappa Swamp." Lu Ren repeated in a low voice and laughed, "It seems that this murderer really likes to compare himself to a kappa."

"Yeah." Conan nodded in agreement.

"Hin, Jin-nii," Ran Mao's voice trembled slightly, "What if it was really done by a kappa?"

Lu Ren was silent for a moment, then he reached out to pick up Conan, and the next moment he stuffed him into Mao Lilan's arms, "It's okay, even if it was really done by the kappa, this kid will protect you."

After using the big pillow technique to temporarily seal the couple, Lu Ren turned his attention back to the case itself.

If the smelly water really comes from the reservoir more than ten kilometers away, there are two possibilities.

1. The smelly water is prepared in advance and stored in a portable container.

2. The stinky water was prepared by the murderer between the time after dinner last night and when the bald man was killed.

Of these two possibilities, Lu Ren was more inclined to the first one, because it sounded ridiculous to premeditate a murder and then go looking for the murder weapon that night.

However, the second possibility cannot be ruled out at present.

Lu Ren snapped his fingers and called Xiao You out. "Except for us and Mr. Ye Ping (the curly-haired man), did anyone else leave the hotel last night?"

【there is none left. 】
