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

Chapter 208 The Bustling Restroom

Matsuda Jinpei was originally talking to Shirakawa Akane when he suddenly felt a strong gaze. His eyes fixed and he looked up to meet Matsumoto Kiyonaga's gaze.

Matsuda Jinpei: “Huh?”

Matsumoto Seinaga smiled kindly and nodded to Matsuda Jinpei.

Jinpei Matsuda scratched his head and nodded with a smile.

Shirakawa Qiu could see the admiration in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes, and nudged Matsuda Jinpei with his elbow, whispering jokingly, "I didn't expect it, little Matsuda, you'll have someone protecting you from now on."

Matsuda Jinpei helplessly admired himself: "I can't help it, I'm just that good."

Shirakawa Qiu: "Hey!"

This kid is getting ahead of himself.

Matsuda Jinpei, however, rubbed his chin, thinking of something even more outrageous: "If I ask him to introduce me to the Metropolitan Police Department Director, wouldn't the chances of success be high?"

Shirakawa Akane: "...I think based on your current interpersonal relationships, you can wait for Hagiwara. Given his sociable nature, it shouldn't be long before he'll be able to establish a relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department Director."

After all, he was able to get him to show up in front of the Director of the Criminal Department, so Shirakawa Akira had no doubt about Hagiwara Kenji's social skills.

Matsuda Jinpei said confidently: "I definitely can't let Hagi get involved!"

He was going to beat up the Director of the Metropolitan Police Department!

Shirakawa Qiu: "...Hehe."

If Matsumoto Kiyonaga knew what Matsuda Jinpei was really thinking, he would definitely take back what he had just said to Megure Jusan with blood on his face.

"Who? How did you implicate me?" Hagiwara Kenji's head popped out from between the two of them.

Matsuda Jinpei was startled: "Why aren't you with Section 2?"

"Well, it's not fixed. After the leader finishes speaking, it's our free time. It's not a big deal." Hagiwara Kenji waved his hand casually and squeezed over, pulling the empty chair next to him. "What were you talking about behind my back just now?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "Nothing."

Shirakawa Akane: "He was talking about his dream of beating up the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner."

Matsuda Jinpei coughed lightly: "No."

Hagiwara Kenji suppressed his laughter: "Okay, I get it."

Baichuan Qiu complained: "He is a giant in words but a dwarf in actions."

Matsuda Jinpei: "? Just wait, I'm going to roll up my sleeves and beat up that Criminal Division Chief first."

It’s not too much to complete half of the small goal first, right?

Jinpei Matsuda decisively rolled up his sleeves.

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

Hagihara Kenji: "..."

While everyone was joking with each other, unknown to everyone, a man in a military green coat was hiding somewhere in the Rice Flower Restaurant.

The man squatted on the ground, fiddling with the black box in his hand carefully, his eyes not blinking, his eyes were full of red bloodshot, and his whole face looked extremely scary.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault—"

He muttered to himself as he quickened his movements. The pungent smell made him cough from time to time. When everything was ready, he stood up and installed the box in his hand on the top of the ceiling.

"Next... is..."

The scarlet eyeballs began to roll, and finally turned in another direction.

The man's face, covered with wrinkles and grooves, twisted into a sinister smile.

"do not blame me."

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing what's good for you!"

……

Baichuan Qiu drank a few sips of wine and suddenly felt a little bloated.

"I'm going to the bathroom." He stood up and said to Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara.

"Yeah." Jinpei Matsuda nodded casually.

Hagiwara Kenji, however, raised his head with a smile on his face: "Dear Qiu-chan, do you need Kenji-chan to accompany you?"

Baichuan Qiu rubbed his arms: "No, I'm scared."

Hagiwara Kenji blinked sadly: "Oh! How disappointing."

Matsuda Jinpei couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Hagiwara Kenji with his hand: "Be more normal!"

Baichuan Qiu laughed and walked towards the bathroom on this floor.

When he reached the toilet door, Baichuanqiu stopped.

In front of him was a roadblock.

【The restroom is under maintenance, please wait. 】

"Tsk."

Baichuan Qiu let out a light click of his tongue.

This floor was booked in advance by the Metropolitan Police Department. Didn’t the restaurant do the maintenance work in advance?

A dark light flashed in Baichuanqiu's eyes.

Did it just break down, or...

He became alert and turned to walk upstairs.

The seventh floor of this building is also a rice flower restaurant, but there are few people today, so there are basically no people on this floor, and even the lights in many places are off.

Baichuanqiu followed the sign and came to the restroom on this floor.

There was no one in the bathroom, but there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke. Under the light, the entire upper half of the bathroom was filled with smoke.

Bai Chuanqiu coughed lightly and waved away the air in front of him. Even if he could smoke, he couldn't stand the pungent smell.

Who is so unsportsmanlike as to smoke in the restroom?

Baichuan Qiu found a random spot and started to unbutton his pants.

"Snapped--"

Suddenly, the bathroom light went out.

System: "Ding! Warning!"

Baichuan Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression suddenly became serious, and he turned to the side. A bullet grazed his clothes and landed on the wall next to him.

"Clap--"

In the dark space, the low sound of a silenced gun was heard again. Baichuan Qiu did not hesitate at all. He kicked open the toilet door behind him and slammed the shooter against the door.

There was another sharp sound of breaking through the air next to him——

"call out--"

Baichuan Qiu raised his head, flipped backwards, and at the same time kicked the black shadow that rushed out of the toilet next to him back into the pit.

System: "Host, there is another person!"

On the ceiling, a dark shadow directly knocked Baichuan Qiu to the ground.

"hiss--"

Baichuan Qiu fell to the ground, raised his elbow and hit the person behind him in the face with a quick, fierce and accurate elbow.

The man was hit hard, and at close range, Baichuan Qiu could hear the sound of bones breaking, but the other party held his arms tightly and did not let go. He helped him get up from the ground and lifted him up, almost lifting him off the ground.

Baichuan Qiu could feel that the other person was a sturdy man twice as strong as him, with very strong bones and muscles. He held his arms very tightly, making it difficult to get rid of them for a while.

The remaining two people also crawled out of the toilet.

System: "Nine o'clock, eleven o'clock direction!"

Without hesitation, Bai Chuanqiu kicked the ground with his legs, bringing the man behind him with him as he fell backwards. The burly man subconsciously stepped back to steady himself, but accidentally sat down in the urinal behind him. At the same time, Bai Chuanqiu raised his legs and kicked the two men who rushed towards him away again.

"Boom-"

The two men groaned and fell to the ground again.

Then, Baichuanqiu retracted his legs, exerted force on his waist, curled up his body, and then pushed his legs back hard.

"what--"

The burly man behind him cried out in pain, and let go of the arms that were originally holding Baichuan Qiu, and covered his lower body tightly.

——It turned out that because of the difference in size, the place where Shirakawa Qiu kicked just now happened to be this guy’s vital part.

"Host, be careful, he's raising his gun again!" the system exclaimed.

Golden eyes moved in the darkness, their originally unaccustomed sight now accurately locking onto the person in front of them. The white-haired young man delivered a sharp spinning kick, accurately hitting the person's raised hand.

"Snapped--"

The pistol was kicked away and no one knew where it fell.
