Looking at Bei Dao with a serious look on his face, Lu Ren forced himself to swallow "Do you believe in the light?"
What the hell is talking to a cat...
He, the owner of Ten Thousand Rings, a person who senses the emotions of animals and can initially communicate with them, has never thought of talking to cats and dogs.
Wait, Bei Dao's attraction to cats seems to be even stronger than Wan Jie's. So what does this mean to her? Humanoid druid?
Is it possible that she can really communicate with small animals without any barriers?
Lu Ren fell into deep thought for a while.
"Brother Ren, Brother Ren?"
"Um?"
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you speak suddenly?"
"Nothing." Lu Ren shook his head and pointed at the clock on the wall, "It's o'clock. Let's go to dinner and buy some pet supplies for Nobel after dinner."
"Why don't you go to the pet store first?" Bei Dao had a different view on this. She was worried that the store would close after dinner.
"It's okay. I have a friend who does this. I just give him a call."
"Um."
The friend Lu Ren mentioned was Bai Ji Daoxing, the very tall veterinarian.
He was the one who picked the bells for the oranges at first. Later, during routine physical examinations, Lu Ren gradually became familiar with him. It’s a level where you can say hello to each other when you meet on the street.
After calling him, Lu Ren put down his phone and looked at Bei Dao, "Shall we go have something to eat?"
"There is a premium sushi restaurant near here. I happen to have a coupon there, let's go eat there."
"It's possible." Lu Ren nodded and agreed. Sushi tastes good when it's done, so it's okay to eat it once in a while.
"This is mainly about the taste, and the portion size is a bit small. The restaurant next to his house has good pork chop rice and fried food. Then you can order a set of pork chop rice and fried chicken cutlet, and a bowl of hot bone soup will also be given. .”
"Uh-huh."
This is good, this is good.
Lu Ren put Nobel into the cat bag, and Bei Dao packed up the documents on the table. After finishing, the two of them left the newspaper office and went straight to the sushi restaurant.
This store is indeed not far from the newspaper office, about a five-minute walk. There is a white curtain hanging in front of the store, and the signboard reads "Takara Sushi" in italics.
After pushing the door and entering, the store was very clean, but there were not many tables of customers. Business seems to be ordinary.
After Bei Dao finished ordering, Lu Ren looked at the busy chef and whispered: "There don't seem to be many people in this store. We should be here soon."
"I guess it will take a while."
While talking, a young man in a blue uniform walked into the store, picked up the food box on the dining table, turned around and left.
"You see, they also deliver food. Sometimes I work overtime and don't have time to eat, so I call and ask them to deliver one."
"in this way."
The fact is exactly what Bei Dao said. There were no people in this store, but the takeout business was surprisingly good. The errand boys were coming in and out, and the master was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.
The meal was not served for a while, so Lu Ren and Bei Dao chatted. The focus of the chat was the case that happened this afternoon. Bei Dao had an impression of Wanda, a great author, and she still had Wanda's previous works in her home.
So Lu Ren told the whole story from the beginning. Bei Dao listened attentively and raised his own questions from time to time.
"The evidence to solve the case, those two disks. The first disk contains the manuscript Wanda wants to submit to the editorial department.
He has been locked in the room writing since the past few days, and even during this morning's dental appointment, the editor accompanied him throughout.
The disk should theoretically only have his own fingerprints and that of the editor. But the deceased's original fingerprints were found on it. "
Lu Ren paused, "But Wan Tian himself also noticed this. So after the police arrived, he made an excuse, saying that he was his assistant originally, and his manuscripts were all stored here. In this case, on the disk It’s not surprising that there are original fingerprints.”
Bei Dao thought for a moment, "If it were me, I would wipe off the fingerprints on the disk after taking it away."
"It's a method, but it's not very useful. Because the original computer contains Wanda's original manuscript. Wanda still has to explain it."
Lu Ren smiled and said: "As I said before, this disk is not enough to convict Wanda. The real key is the second disk he took away from the original hand. There were original blood stains on it. The police found it from his home .”
"Ah?" Bei Dao said he couldn't understand this operation. "Why didn't he get rid of the disk box? I remember there is a river over there at his house. Take out the disk and throw the box into the river."
"Maybe it's because there is not enough time." Lu Ren pointed to the cat bag, "As I said before, Wanda will take Nobel with him wherever he goes, and this time too. After he killed Yuan, Nobel ran away, and he was in the house I've been looking for it for a long time, which wasted time."
"Another possibility is that he was too confident. He felt that he was committing a perfect crime and a few mistakes were not a big problem."
Bei Dao: "What a perfect crime."
"That's not bad. Wanda originally thought of sneaking out of the hotel, so that Editor Shimaki could provide him with an alibi. After killing Yuan Yuan, he would talk to Shimaki all night long, which was a good trick."
"Originally, this person was extremely unsociable and rarely went out. Apart from Wanda, the only person who had contact with him was a cleaning lady who came to clean the house regularly."
"Wanda also knew this. He closed the door of the study room where the crime occurred and put a sign saying "Do not disturb me while I am writing." It is very likely that the cleaning lady would not go in. "
"This way Wanda will have enough time to dispose of the disc. Whether you pack it and wait for the garbage truck to pick it up, or drive to a far away place to dispose of it yourself. Once this evidence is disposed of and there is an alibi, the police It would be difficult to convict."
Kitajima: "Then Wanda is really unlucky. He was discovered by Conan and the others too early, so he didn't have time to deal with the disk."
"Not only that. Because of my arrival, Editor Shimaki came out of the hotel to pick me up, and was not in the hotel for a period of time. As a result, he was unable to provide an alibi for Wanda."
Lu Ren smiled and said: "Of course, Wan Tian left more loopholes than these. Even if I don't go, there is still a risk that his plan will be discovered."
"The easy way for him to slip out of the hotel without Shimaki's sight is to pretend to be a hotel staff member who cleans the room. The work clothes he wears will have his fingerprints and skin flakes on them. Wanda can't do this. explain."
"And as he said himself, he was so old that he was abandoned by the times. He only wanted to hide from Shimaki's sight, but did not consider surveillance."
"The New Rice Flower Hotel is under surveillance. Even if he may have made some disguises, his figure cannot be disguised. Visitors to the hotel will be registered, including those of us who come in temporarily to find people like us."
"As long as we check where the tenants who were similar to Wanda were at that time, plus the work clothes stained with his fingerprints and skin flakes, we can lock his identity."
"Now there are surveillance cameras installed on main streets and some stores. Follow the surveillance cameras to check. Even if you can't find out his specific path, you can still know the general direction. This is enough for the police to list him as the first suspect."
"There are also computer traces. The entire book "The Story of Manda" was ghostwritten by Yuan. Comparing the original and Wanda's computer data, you can find that this book was mainly written on Yuan's computer."
"Not to mention the new work Wanda said, there are various traces of creative data that only exist in the original computer. This is simply sending evidence to the police. In addition, the fingerprints on the first disk and the drawer Something that is missing."
"With so much evidence, even if it takes some time, Manda can still be brought to justice. However, the capabilities of the Tokyo police are probably not enough to do this."
"That's right."
