Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 133 Surrender?

After scaring Mitsuko and his lawyer during the day, Shiraishi had an appointment with Ayako that night.

During dinner, Ayako accidentally drank red wine again, so Shiraishi had to send her back to the villa.

"This red wine... is it so strong?" Shiraishi looked at Ayako, who was already sleepy in the passenger seat, in confusion.

"Hmm? Where are we? Uh-huh..." Ayako said incoherently.

Seeing this, Bai Shi had no choice but to carry her down - Bai Shi could even hold her horizontally with one hand and open the door with the other!
After entering the villa, Bai Shi first put Ayako on the sofa, and then asked more puzzledly: "Is Aunt Hui not here today?"

Shiraishi discovered that the villa was now empty.

"Aunt Hui...I'm asking for leave. My clothes are so tight..." Ayako answered while trying to untie her skirt as if she was still unconscious.

"Wait..." Bai Shi was about to stop him.

at this time……

beep beep-

Bai Shi's cell phone suddenly rang. After taking it out and looking at it, Bai Shi frowned and said, "Huh?"

Ayako paused when she heard the voice: "Work overtime?"

"No...it's Mikazuki-san." Shiraishi was also very puzzled. Although he had not changed his number and had kept it in his address book,...Mikazuki had not called his cell phone for many years!
Although he knew that Mikazuki had married and changed her surname, Shiraishi did not specifically change it in his address book.

"Mikazuki?" Ayako sat up immediately and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know..." Bai Shi was also confused and immediately answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Shiraishi." Shiraishi first confirmed whether she had dialed the wrong number.

"Senior Shiraishi, I... killed someone and want to turn myself in. Can you come and handle it?" Gao Yue said... calmly at this time.

"What? Who did you kill? Where is he now? Is he in danger?" Bai Shi asked hurriedly after being surprised.

Ayako, who was listening closely, also covered her mouth in surprise.

"I'm not in danger. It's my father-in-law... who is at the Yamashiro family's residence, here at 9th chome, not far from the Beika Forest. My family members are with me now, and we haven't called the police yet... Can I leave it to you from now on? We will cooperate." Gao Yue's voice was calm but trembling.

Shiraishi rubbed his head as well. He didn’t expect that when he received another call from Gao Yue, it turned out to be... murder and surrender?
But Shiraishi certainly had no reason to refuse - after all, the other party was "surrendering" and not asking him to help do anything illegal.

"Okay, calm down first, and tell your family not to disturb the scene. I will bring the police officers to inspect it. You don't need to do anything... but tell me who is around you first." Shiraishi could also sense that Gao Yue was in a strange mood.

but……

Weird is normal!

If he is not a professional killer, it would be strange to remain emotionally normal after killing someone.

When ordinary people have just killed someone, their emotions are "strange", difficult to summarize, and incomprehensible!

"Eh? Do you still want to talk about this? Now..." Gao Yue was stunned when she heard this, but did not refuse.

At this moment, someone next to Gao Yue said, "Mrs. Gao Yue, Director Shiraishi must be worried that you might be forced to surrender or that your life might be threatened... Tell me!

"Director Shiraishi, I'm Kumimon. Don't worry, Madam Gaoyue is fine. This is just a regrettable accident. The Yamashiro family didn't want to cause any more trouble, nor did they want Madam Gaoyue to bear too much responsibility for this. That's why they invited me to defend her, and then they asked you, who knew Madam Gaoyue, to turn yourself in."

Hearing Gu Meimen's voice, Shiraishi was indeed relieved - originally, he was really worried about this situation, wondering if it was some trick of the murderer... would he only see the corpse when he arrived?

But now that the lawyer is in place, and it’s Kensuke Kumemon…

Shiraishi now believes that her "family members" are really emotionally stable!

"Okay, I'll be there right away... Lawyer Kumimon, I hope you don't do anything unnecessary before we arrive, otherwise it will be bad if it affects the authenticity of the confession." Shiraishi specifically warned him.

"You worry too much." Gu Meimen said calmly.

Bai Shi finally put down the phone, and at the same time...

"Ayako, you first... um? Are you sober?" Shiraishi looked at Ayako, who seemed to have straightened her clothes.

"Well, I'll go too!" Ayako said affirmatively.

"No, it's just normal work after that..." Shiraishi said that it's not convenient to bring family members with him to work, but...

"I still don't believe that Gao Yue would kill someone! And if I were here, at least I could talk to her." Ayako said worriedly.

"Okay." Seeing this, Bai Shi took her with him.

After getting in the car, Shiraishi called the Criminal Division in the police station and said, "Hello, it's me. Who is the head of the division on duty?

"Haitani? That's great. Tell him to... ahem, call Detective Kogure as well. Have him wait for me outside the police station. I'll drive over right away." Shiraishi didn't say what the matter was specifically about, but since it was arranged by the chief and he even came in person, the officer who answered the phone naturally called Haitani right away.

After Huigu found out, he also woke up Zilian, who was not on duty.

but……

When Shiraishi arrived at the police station, Narcissism had not arrived yet.

Huitani originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but seeing that there was already someone there, who was the director's girlfriend, he sat in the back somewhat awkwardly.

After all, Huigu is already middle-aged. Unlike the young people of the "relaxed generation", he still feels "uncomfortable" when his leader drives him.

"Where is Detective Kogure?" Shiraishi asked.

"It will take him about ten minutes... That guy bought a house in Okuho-cho in order to get married, and even though he's single now, he refuses to live in a dormitory." Haitani explained with a wry smile.

Kogure had been depressed because his "fiancée ran away" until he was "exiled" to the Beihua Police Station.

He has even bought a house suitable for two people... or even two generations to live in. Even though his marriage has fallen through, he is still unwilling to live in a single dormitory. Perhaps this is his last stubbornness!

However, with his salary, he certainly cannot afford to buy houses in these prosperous areas, and can only buy one in Okuho Town... Although it is still in Touto in terms of administrative division, it is basically almost in Saitama Prefecture.

It will take some time to get here now.

Fortunately, it was already night and there was no traffic jam.

While waiting for him, Bai Shi calmly explained to Huigu what he was going to do next...

When he heard that "the director's friend had killed someone and wanted to turn himself in," Huitani looked nervous, but... he was not really nervous at heart!

After all, they are asked to "surrender", not to cover up anything.

Huigu couldn't help but sigh, he is worthy of being the director...his friends' ideological realm is so high!

At the same time, Huitani muttered, "Near 9th chome, Beihua Forest? It seems that the patrolman on duty there has been replaced by Fuji in recent days!"

As the chief, Shiraishi certainly wouldn't personally inquire about matters like the replacement of patrol officers for shift support, but Huitani knew about it because he was on a police call yesterday and happened to be in the "Beika Forest".

"Teng? Then ask her to come along when we're almost there." Shiraishi didn't intend to find the patrolman right away, but instead brought along the detective he trusted the most.

but……

Fuji's professional ability is outstanding among criminal police and he is trustworthy.

Soon, Zilian arrived. While driving, Shiraishi asked Huitani to tell Zilian what happened...

"Huh? The whole family is helping to find a lawyer? The director's friend must have a good relationship with everyone at home and is very conscientious. It was just a momentary impulse... Director, you don't have to worry too much." After hearing this, Zinar comforted Bai Shi.

But when he said this, Bai Shi felt even more strange!
When I saw Mikazuki a while ago, her condition wasn't very good. She didn't look like she had a harmonious and happy family at all...

"What exactly does the Yamashiro family do?" Shiraishi asked Ayako at this time.

He had only heard of this surname before and didn't ask in detail.

But from what Ayako said, they should be some wealthy family, and... Shiraishi just found out that they actually have a "mansion" in Beika Town, which looks very grand.

"This Yamashiro family... is the Yamashiro of the 'Yamashiro Railway'. The old head of the family, Yoshinosuke Yamashiro, is not only the chairman of the Yamashiro Railway, but also the chairman of the Touto Railway Association. A few years ago, Yoshinosuke Yamashiro retired to the second line, and the eldest son Koichi inherited his position. I heard from my father that he is quite capable." Ayako explained at this time.

"So, the one who died was Yoshinosuke Yamashiro? Then Satsuki's husband was..." Shiraishi asked at this time.

"The Yamashiro family has the eldest son Koichi, the second son Keiji, the third son Ryuzo, and a daughter Masako who is not married yet. The three sons are all married. Koichi also has a son, who I remember should be an adult today. Keiji is a playboy and a foodie, and he still stays at home after getting married. The third son Yamashiro Ryuzo is the one who married Gaoyue." Ayako gave an overall introduction at this time.

As they were talking, Shiraishi had already arrived near 9-chome, so he called Fujiya to meet him in front of Yamashiro's house.

It turns out that this “mansion” is not called that for nothing!

It was bigger than Bai Shi had imagined. Outside the gate, you couldn't even see the house, only the lush green woods.
If it was in the suburbs, Shiraishi could still understand it, but... although this place is secluded and close to the Beika Forest, it is still Beika Town, which means it is still in the Minato Ward!

It seems that private railways really make a lot of money...

At this time, Shiraishi pressed the video doorbell outside, and a man who looked to be in his forties answered the call.

"Is that Director Shiraishi?" The other person's face was still a little pale.

After all...his father just died.

"That's right, these are my most trusted subordinates... and Gaoyue's friend Ayako." Shiraishi directly raised the three of them to the level of "most trusted" - even though they just happened to be asked to work overtime, but... they have already worked overtime, so why don't you say a few good words?
"Ms. Suzuki? I haven't greeted you for a long time... Director Shiraishi, I really trouble you this time."

As he spoke, the door was unlocked, and Bai Shi and everyone else rushed in impatiently, wanting to see what was going on with this family!
