Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 217 211. Dog relying on the power of others
At this time, Toyama Ginjiro didn't care whether he was a member of parliament or not.

There are a total of 109 Osaka Prefectural Assembly members like Sotaro Goji, but there is only one criminal chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police, Ginjiro Toyama.

What's more, everyone has been called away and guns have been fired. Whether the Satoshi family is willing or not, Toyama Ginjiro has to have people break down the door and rush in.

Toyama Ginjiro's men acted quickly, or perhaps they were very familiar with this business process.

The demolition tools were quickly placed on the large iron gate of the Xiangsi family estate, and in a few moves, the gate symbolizing the councilor's residence was demolished by these ferocious police officers.

During the turmoil, the security guards of the manor had already noticed the actions of the detectives outside the door, but the detectives were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and they were outnumbered.

In the end, the security guards could only watch as a group of detectives surrounded Toyama Ginjiro and walked into the courtyard of Goji's family, and no one dared to say a word.

After entering the manor, Toyama Ginjiro asked the security guard beside him, "What's that noisy place over there?
Where did the gunshot just now come from?"

"It's over there!" The Osaka Prefectural Police team led by Ginjiro Toyama includes many detectives wearing police uniforms.

The alert security guard at the door answered without any hesitation: "That's the warehouse of the manor. The gunshot just came from there!"

The place where Toyama Ginjiro asked was the noisiest place in the entire manor. Some people were anxiously waiting, some were shouting at the warehouse, and some were planning to rush into the warehouse but were stopped by the people next to them.

What a diverse group of people.

Toyama Ginjiro didn't hesitate at all and ran straight towards the warehouse.

As the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Ginjiro Toyama led the way, followed by many subordinates. This momentum was undoubtedly very eye-catching.

After Toyama Ginjiro arrived, the originally noisy warehouse gradually became quiet.

"I am Ginjiro Toyama, the chief of the Criminal Division of the Osaka Prefectural Police. Who here has a say?"

Everyone in the Xiangsi family looked at each other, and finally pushed a middle-aged woman to come in front of Yuanshan Ginshiro.

"Minister Toyama, I am Sotaro's wife. Please save Sotaro!"

Whatever her purpose, it was obvious that the grief of the village wife was genuine.

After all, as a congressman's wife, all her glory comes from the first two words of this title.

If a councillor becomes a former councillor, and even has to add the limiting condition of being deceased, then let alone continuing to live such a comfortable life, whether she can keep everything in the Goji family is another matter.

"Tell me what's going on and what's the current situation of this warehouse." Yuanshan Ginshiro was intimidating without being angry, and asked Mrs. Xiangsi directly.

"It's like this." Mrs. Goji obviously knew a lot, so she spoke to Toyama Ginjiro quickly but in a very organized manner.
Earlier today, Sotaro Goji suddenly received a phone call at home. The person on the other end of the phone said he was a detective in Osaka and claimed that someone was trying to harm or even kill Sotaro Goji.

At first, Sotaro Goji didn't take the "detective"'s words seriously, until the detective suddenly mentioned the connection between the victims in the recent serial murders.

He also said that Sotaro Goji was also a student at the driving school that year, and he was very likely one of the murderer's targets.

"Then Councillor Goji believed what the detective said?" Toyama Ginjiro asked with some doubt.

He was not questioning the authenticity of the testimony of the wife of the township governor. He just knew too well the character of these officials who were the councilors.

It is wishful thinking to expect them to submit obediently with just these two sentences.

"Of course Sotaro didn't believe it. He even told the murderer to come to his house as soon as possible so that he could teach him a lesson. He also said," Mrs. Goji suddenly stuttered when she said this, and she looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"What did you say again?"

"He also said that the Osaka Prefectural Police couldn't even solve such a simple case, and that they were just a bunch of good-for-nothings. His next topic will be to cut the Osaka Prefectural Police budget and save taxpayers' money."

Mrs. Goji's voice became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that saying this in front of Toyama Ginjiro was basically the same as yelling at the entire Osaka Prefectural Police.

Maybe Sotaro Goji was just bragging to an ordinary detective at the time, but this boast has now reached the ears of the person involved, Ginjiro Toyama.

Now that we have come to Toyama Ginjiro, how far can it be from Hattori Heizo, the head of the headquarters?
I can only say that Mrs. Xiangsi is also an upright person.

Toyama Ginjiro: "Let's get down to business."

Mrs. Goji nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! I don't know what the detective on the other end of the phone said at the time, and then Sotaro's face suddenly changed.

His tone was not as arrogant as it was at the beginning. Then he listened to two more sentences and hung up the phone. "

"Then Soutarou suddenly told everyone not to follow him, and he left the house alone. Later, the servants said that he hurried to the warehouse.

Later, when the chief Hattori called, there was a sudden gunshot, and someone heard the gunshot coming from the warehouse, and that’s what happened next.”

"Minister Toyama, you must save Sotaro!" Mrs. Goji begged to Toyama Ginjiro.

Combined with what Mrs. Goji said, Toyama Ginjiro quickly figured out the situation at the scene. After the gunshot, everyone in the Goji family immediately determined that the gunshot came from the warehouse.

But because no one knew what was going on inside, most people were just doing useless work outside the warehouse.

The most important thing was that the gunshots made everyone unclear whether Sotaro Goji was still alive.

If he were dead, then rushing in at the risk of one's life would be like flirting with a blind man, wouldn't it?

They are not blind, they should be flirting with the dead. Isn't that a waste of effort?

So these people simply stood outside to support Sotaro Goji who was not aware of his own safety in the warehouse.

Thinking of this, Toyama Ginjiro pushed aside the people blocking his way and came to the outside of the warehouse. Then he shouted inside:

"Sakata, I know you're in there, answer me!"

"Minister Yuanshan, you're here so quickly. It seems that there is really a flaw in my plan. Is it a problem with President Lin?"

After a moment of silence, Sakata's voice came from the warehouse.

【Wow——】

Seeing that the people inside did respond to Toyama Ginjiro, the group of pig teammates from the Goji family seemed to have found their backbone again. Some of them were so emotional that they even cursed directly at the warehouse.

What's worse, they even threatened and ordered Sakata to open the warehouse door and release Sotaro Goji.

This group of people were no longer as helpless and timid as they were at the beginning, and each of them attacked the missing Sakata with heavy punches.
