Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Chapter 221 Mr. Shirakawa... is related to the murder case?

A few days later, Shirakawa Qiu received a text message from the target.

[Yoko Nakata: I will follow your instructions. Please help me.]

Baichuan Qiu had a calm expression. He glanced at the content above and did not reply immediately.

"Ding--"

The door of the cafe was pushed open and the Maori family walked in from outside.

"Mr. Mori, Xiaolan, Conan, good morning!" Azusa Enomoto was the first to greet them.

"Good morning, Xiaozi/Sister Xiaozi."

The three of them greeted each other and chose a seat at the bar.

"Sandwiches and hot milk, right?"

"Yes, Thanks."

Toru Amuro started making sandwiches for the three people.

While chatting, they talked about the fire a few days ago.

As expected, the case was finally solved by Conan.

Maori Kogoro woke up knowing nothing, but he probably heard a lot from Megure Jusan.

"The murderer is the husband of the woman that Officer Matsuda and his team rescued," Maori Kogoro explained. "They were getting a divorce and faced a huge financial dispute. To prevent the victim from getting a larger share of the property, he chose to set the fire and kill people."

The reason why the test was conducted in the mall was because the victim originally planned to go to the upstairs of the mall to eat after shopping.

However, because the victim changed his plan at the last minute, the murderer simply tripled the dosage based on the test and changed the target location to the hotel where the victim was staying.

"The murderer worked in chemical production and sales, and originally was a researcher. However, due to subsequent industrial reforms, he moved from that position to sales," Maori Kogoro said, tapping the table indignantly. "Their impending divorce was not disclosed to anyone else, so the police were initially unaware of it."

When they went to the hospital, they saw the man looking at his wife who was in intensive care outside the ward with a sad face. No one expected that he would be the murderer.

Maori Kogoro proudly stroked his hair, his face full of pride: "Fortunately, none of this escaped the eyes of the famous detective Maori Kogoro! A righteous detective will not let such a murderer go. In the end, thanks to my perfect reasoning, the police successfully arrested this hateful criminal! Ahahaha——"

Enomoto Azusa's emotional value was at its peak, she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Wow! As expected of Mr. Mori! That's amazing!"

Shirakawa Akane: "...Haha, indeed, worthy of being called Detective Mori."

Knowing nothing but still being able to pretend to be competent - this is indeed Kogoro Mouri's style.

Amuro Toru smiled and said, "As expected of Mr. Maori! It's a pity that I wasn't there and couldn't see Mr. Maori's wonderful reasoning show."

Maori Kogoro laughed out loud with his mouth open, his tongue almost popping out of his mouth: "Ahaha, it's just so-so!"

Conan's mouth twitched: "..."

Forget it, as long as uncle is happy.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, the door of the cafe was pushed open again.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of people in uniform.

Conan froze for a moment and pushed his glasses up.

Someone from the Special Investigation Department again? Why do they always come looking for Mr. Shirakawa?

really weird.

The leader was still the fox-eyed man. His indifferent eyes swept over the people in front of him, and then fell on Baichuan Qiu: "Manager Baichuan, can we talk alone?"

The smile on Baichuan Qiu's face faded a little: "Until you find more detailed clues, I don't think there is anything else for us to talk about."

"It's about a murder." Morimoto stared at him, "...just a few days ago. Do you need me to explain it in more detail?"

Baichuan Qiu's face suddenly darkened.

Wasn't that case handled by another inspector from the First Investigation Division? How could they have taken it over?

Conan and Amuro Toru frowned at the same time.

What murder?

How did Mr. Shirakawa/Shirakawa get involved in another murder case?

Suddenly, something flashed through Conan's mind——

It seems that while they were investigating the arson, something else happened that night.

In an alley not far from the fire scene, a police officer from the Crime Countermeasures Department committed suicide.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the police officer seemed to have had a fight with someone, and finally, for some unknown reason, the police officer pulled out a gun and committed suicide.

The case was eventually handled by a police officer from another department. However, because the time and place of the murder and arson were too close, the police officer there initially suspected that the murderer of both cases was the same person.

However, this speculation was quickly ruled out because the arsonist was arrested.

At that time, the police captain came to find Megure Juzo to confirm the situation, and Conan just listened casually.

It’s a pity that Megure Juzo was not in charge of the case over there. After confirming that the murderer was not the same person, the police captain left very readily without revealing anything more.

Conan naturally does not have the conditions to get involved in this case.

But that day... there was definitely something wrong with Mr. Shirakawa.

At the time of the fire, Mr. Shirakawa said the restroom on the seventh floor was broken, so he ended up going to the restroom on the eighth floor.

——But if he remembered correctly, the bathroom on the seventh floor had always been in good condition and was not in any state of repair.

Later, when they were analyzing the case at the scene, Mr. Shirakawa was absent-minded and seemed not to care about the case.

Even when I was looking for Mr. Shirakawa to discuss the case, Mr. Shirakawa left for a while.

This is very strange...

Conan's eyelids twitched subconsciously, and he quickly raised his hands to cover his eyelids.

——No way? Could it be that Mr. Shirakawa is related to that case?

No, no, it must be a coincidence. How could Mr. Shirakawa...

"I see."

Shirakawa Akane nodded expressionlessly and met the gaze of Amuro Toru beside him.

There was questioning and worry in Toru Amuro's eyes, but not a trace of doubt.

For some reason, Baichuan Qiu suddenly laughed lightly and shook his head at him subtly.

--don’t worry.

Toru Amuro gave him a look: Come to me anytime if you have any questions.

Shirakawa: Yes.

Then Shirakawa Qiu walked out of the bar, glanced at the prosecutors behind Morimoto Yui, and said to Morimoto Yui, "There are too many people here. Where are you going to talk?"

Morimoto curled his lips and turned sideways: "If you don't mind, we can go to our car to talk."

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged, his golden eyes meeting those fox eyes: "Oh? That would be disrespectful to refuse."

Morimoto turned sideways and said, "Please."

Shirakawa Ki lifted his legs and walked out with Morimoto Ki.

As the door of the cafe was opened and closed, the atmosphere inside the cafe suddenly became extremely solemn.

Maori Kogoro scratched his head and smiled very tactlessly: "It shouldn't be a big problem, don't worry, Shirakawa-kun must have accidentally found some clues that happen to be related to the murder case."

other people:"……"

If only that were true!
