Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 252 246. The process was extremely wrong, but the result was right
Genius, White Bird!

Lin Longma didn't know what to say for a moment. You have to admit that Shiratori's analysis was very serious and well-organized.

And it’s not the kind of bright light analysis that Kogoro Mori had - come to think of it, what Shiratori said is still quite right so far!
I can't say it's completely right, but I can say it's half right? Kudo Shinichi didn't sense the danger in advance and hide away, but was fed medicine to shrink and had to leave home and live with his childhood sweetheart.

But this situation is too bizarre after all, and no normal person would guess in this direction.

If we remove Conan, the unstable and uncontrollable factor, it can be said that Shiratori's reasoning sounds extremely reasonable.

"That makes sense, but I still don't understand how you got yourself into this state."

"In fact, I am not tracking down Kudo Shinichi, but investigating why Kudo Shinichi 'disappeared on his own initiative'."

Bai Niao's eyes were bright and his mental state couldn't be better. Even with his haggard face at the moment, Lin Longma was always afraid that this guy would die suddenly in his own territory.

After all, Shiratori came to him excitedly to share the news, and Lin Longma didn't want to spoil his fun, so he signaled Shiratori to show him the contents of his investigation.

"Didn't you just say that he sensed danger?"

"Yes, that's it!" Shiratori paused with the cup of water in his hand on the table and continued, "But what kind of danger is considered dangerous in the eyes of Kudo Shinichi?"

Detectives, especially famous detectives, are definitely different from ordinary people - this is not only the consensus of Shiratori and Hayashi Ryoma, but also the consensus of the entire Beika Town, Tokyo, and even the entire island country.

The dangers in the eyes of ordinary people may be thieves, robbers, etc. Even homeless people are dangerous in their eyes.

But in the eyes of detectives, even famous detectives, thieves and robbers are never dangerous people.

Even when encountering a bank robbery, the famous detectives are eager to try to "counterattack".

As for Kudo Shinichi, he is the best among the famous detectives. Let's take a look at the murderers he sent to prison.

Those who rob a bank but don't kill anyone should be considered the least guilty.

The remaining murderers are just the background of these criminals, what is important is their identity.

Workers and office workers are nothing special, but Shinichi Kudo has also sent many presidents, chairmen, and company executives in.

Even the chairman of a large group was sent to prison, as well as politicians - including bigwigs like the mayor, who were also on the list of people sent to prison by Kudo Shinichi.

It is hard to imagine that a powerful mayor would be thrown into jail for hit-and-run.
I can only say that this world is sometimes very humorous.

Shinichi Kudo didn't say he was afraid or have any concerns about sending such a big shot to prison. This "small scene" was not dangerous for Shinichi Kudo.

So the question is, what kind of people or situations can be considered dangerous by Shinichi Kudo?

“Because of Kudo Shinichi’s occupation, it is almost impossible to investigate people who have motives towards him.

The families, relatives and friends of the arrested murderers all have motives for committing crimes, but these should not be dangerous to Kudo.

Excluding this option, the only thing left is that he was investigating an incident, or simply encountered some sensitive incidents.

Judging from the fact that Kudo sent the mayor to jail, sensitive incidents are not enough for him to hide.

I have a guess. Do you think there is any connection between Kudo's disappearance and the criminal agency I have been investigating? "I understand! Lin Longma finally understood why Shiratori looked so weak but so excited.

So he is using Kudo Shinichi as a breakthrough in the international intermediary company's investigation?
It has to be said that Shiratori has been having a hard time recently, as Rum's outrageous actions led to Gin launching a purge of the executive department.

This action is not a problem for the organization, since Rum is the only one who suffers from it.

But there are still a few peripheral members on Shiratori's side who don't know much about the organization.

Even though they had been caught by the police, Gin didn't even plan to silence them, which shows that these people really have no idea of the situation.

They probably don't even know who they are working for.

Bai Niao originally wanted to follow the clues, but all the clues were cut off at once. How could Bai Niao not be anxious?
Shiratori was not only anxious, but also surprised by the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the "criminal intermediary company".

It is hard to say whether the superiors of these peripheral members were silenced or transferred, but by cutting off their connection, Shiratori's search headquarters (investigation team) will be unable to carry out subsequent investigations.

All we can say is that Shiratori encountered an equally matched opponent.

When he didn't know what was hidden in the Tokyo underground world, Shiratori thought it would be okay to put the blame on the international brokerage company.

He even formed a completely self-consistent logic based on his own judgment of the "criminal intermediary company".

Now all they have to do is find Kudo Shinichi and they can verify whether his guess is correct or not.

Lin Longma pretended to be enlightened, but in his heart he felt extremely "guilty" towards Bai Niao. Regardless of whether Bai Niao's speculation was correct or not, this guy really thought a lot.

Why didn't Shiratori find any news about the international intermediary company after searching all over Tokyo?

That’s entirely because the international intermediary companies have not yet expanded their business. How can you buy their products on the market if their factories haven’t even been built?
As for Shiratori's judgment of Kudo Shinichi, Hayashi Ryoma could only say that although the process was extremely wrong and even went in the opposite direction, the result was extremely correct.

To put it bluntly, the international agency is also part of the organization, so there is nothing wrong with saying that they are the culprit behind Kudo Shinichi's disappearance.

Lin Longma was sure that Conan was fine, but the behavior of the Kudo couple was beyond Lin Longma's expectations.

Do these couples perform the full set of plays?

"Ryoma, please help me!" After Shiratori finished his speculation, he solemnly asked Lin Ryoma for help.

"Ah, I have no problem helping you, but I'm not as good as you police officers at finding people, am I?"

On the surface, Isshinkai is just a consulting and investigation company. No matter how many people it has, can they have as many police officers as the Metropolitan Police Department?

The police are definitely better at finding people, which requires mobilizing a large number of resources.

"We're not looking for someone, we're looking for clues." Shiratori stared at Lin Longma with a stern look: "Although the Kudo couple asked the police to help find their son, maybe they have some clues that they haven't informed us of.

Longma, you are very familiar with Mr. Maori, see if you can help me find out from the side!"
