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

The cafe was unexpectedly busy that day.

By the time Azusa Enomoto and Akane Shirakawa finished their work, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Bai Chuanqiu asked with some concern: "Is it okay for Xiaozi to go home tonight?"

Azusa Enomoto: "It's okay, Manager, the house I rented is nearby."

Bai Chuanqiu nodded: "Then remember to send me a message when you get back."

Azusa Enomoto: "Okay, don't worry, Manager!"

The young girl smiled and waved goodbye: "See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

The door of the cafe was closed and the footsteps gradually faded away. Shirakawa Qiu bent down and prepared food and water for the captain at the door.

Oh yes, I almost forgot to introduce him. This calico cat named Captain is the new resident of Poirot Café.

Its previous owner was allergic to cats, so he simply handed the cat over to Poirot Café.

Baichuan Qiu was not averse to cats, so he stayed.

Usually when the captain is not in the store, he will go to play with other cats nearby. He will return to the cafe at night to sleep and eat some cat food.

I don’t know if the captain was born to be a free kitten, but Baichuan Qiu always felt that after staying outside for a few days, he inexplicably grew fat and his fur became smooth and soft, which was simply too handsome.

Looking at the captain squatting at the door and licking his fur, Bai Chuanqiu couldn't help but sigh softly: "Fortunately, you are already a father-in-law, otherwise I would really be worried that you would be having affairs outside."

As if he had heard Baichuan Qiu's complaints, the captain suddenly climbed up vigilantly and made a warning sound in his throat, as if he had encountered something that frightened him.

Shirakawa Akane: "? What's wrong, Captain?"

The captain faced the door, his cat fur exploded all over his body, his claws all popped out, and he kept making breathing sounds at the people outside.

Baichuan Qiu looked up, and his pupils shrank involuntarily.

"Take care of your dead cat, or I can't guarantee it won't continue barking at me."

The man wore a black top hat, and his long silver hair covered most of his face. Only his cold dark green eyes stared at him coldly, and his very iconic black windbreaker was fluttering slightly in the night breeze on the street.

Next to him was Vodka, who was also wearing a black hat and even a pair of sunglasses.

Before Shirakawa Qiu could complain about Vodka wearing sunglasses at night, he walked over, quickly picked up the cat, and held it in his arms to comfort it.

"Excuse me, who are you two?"

Baichuan Qiu had a smile on his face, but his heart was beating fast.

"Two iced Americano—"

The man walked around Shirakawa-no-Tsu and went straight into the Poirot Café.

Vodka simply took out a wad of money and stuffed it into Baichuan Qiu's hand.

Shirakawa Qiu: “……?”

The villain can't sleep at night, so he comes to his place for coffee?

The system continued to scream: "Ahhh, Gin came to see us tonight! Oh my God! I didn't expect there would be such a day, ahhh, so happy——"

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

He took a deep breath, placed the captain at the door, pushed the cat away from the cafe, then closed the door of the cafe and walked over to the two people who were already sitting at the bar.

"Sorry, the cafe is closed and not accepting customers."

The man didn't say anything, but Vodka beside him spoke up. "You definitely know who we are, so why are you acting crazy here? My brother and I came here to see how you perform."

The smile on Baichuan Qiu's face froze slightly.

"I don't quite understand what you two mean..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.

Gin held up the Beretta and looked at the young man in front of him. A look of arrogance and amusement, like a beast playing with its prey, appeared on his face. "Do you understand now?"

Baichuan Qiu slowly raised his hands, the smile on his face widening a little, only his golden eyes were filled with aloof indifference: "I think I understand."

He turned around, walked to the counter, and began to make iced Americano seriously.

Even though he had just faced the threat of death, the white-haired young man moved slowly and steadily, with a straight posture and a lazy temperament, as if he really regarded the two people behind him as ordinary guests.

"We're out of ice. Can I have some ice water?" He turned his head slightly and asked the two people behind him.

Vodka didn't say anything, just looked at his eldest brother.

Gin narrowed his eyes: "Okay."

So Baichuanqiu continued his actions.

In a place where the two people couldn't hear, the system was also muttering anxiously: "It's over, it's over, it's all over! How could the villain appear here! Oh my God! Is my first host going to die? Wuuwuwu, I don't want it, wuuwu..."

Bai Chuanqiu was embarrassed: "They haven't made a move yet, why are you panicking? I'm not panicking either."

System: "Wow, I told you to gain more experience! If you had learned more criminal skills, you wouldn't be in this situation now. You clearly have a rare talent for criminal proficiency, but all you want to do is lie down. Wow, why is my life so miserable—"

Shirakawa Akane: ...

He sighed.

"Don't panic. Gin and the others came here this time because they must have found out my identity and want to recruit me."

System: "Wuwuwu... I don't even know who you are. Aren't you just a weak, brainless Xiao Hei who has never killed anyone? Wuwuwu, how could we, such a powerful organization, even look down on you!"

Baichuan Qiu raised the corner of his mouth: "That's not necessarily true."

After two cups of coffee were successfully prepared, he brought the tray to Gin and Vodka and put the cups down. "Sorry for the long wait, please enjoy your meal."

Vodka didn't move, but looked at his eldest brother, waiting for him to speak.

Gin glanced at Vodka with a half-smile: "The coffee is ready, drink it."

Then he reached out and took the first sip.

Vodka followed closely behind.

Baichuan Qiu stood behind the bar, watching the two of them quietly.

The music in the cafe had been turned off, and the entire place was eerily quiet; even the sound of vodka being swallowed could be heard clearly. Neither party spoke, but a faint sense of danger always lingered in the air.

Soon, Vodka's cup of coffee was empty, while the coffee in front of Gin was almost untouched.

Or rather, he just didn't drink.

"It seems my coffee is not to your liking, sir."

Baichuan Qiu said lightly.

Gin put down his coffee cup. "It smells terrible, like the dead rats that are always around in the house. It makes you sick."

Shirakawa Qiu: "Oh?"

The young man laughed out loud, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then boldly reached out and poured the coffee in Gin's cup into the sink beside him.

"what are you doing--"

Vodka immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at Shirakawa Qiu.

"Since you don't like it, there's no need to drink it."

Shirakawa Akane's eyes were very cold, a kind of coldness that Enomoto Azusa and Conan had never seen before. It was as if a cynical god finally revealed his superior nature.

Vodka sneered: "Our eldest brother hasn't spoken yet, you kid really don't want to live--"

Shirakawa Qiu smiled.

Vodka only felt a flash of silver light, and then a sharp fruit knife was stabbed into his hand holding the gun.

This time, it was really inserted.

"hiss--"

Vodka cried out in pain and wanted to shoot, but Baichuan Qiu had already tilted his head and gently flipped his wrist -

"Snapped!"

The man who was originally sitting grabbed Shirakawa Qiu's wrist, completely restraining his movements. Then Shirakawa Qiu felt a piercing pain in his wrist, and his whole body was pressed hard on the table by Gin.

"Boom-"

His head hit the table hard, making a crisp sound. Baichuan Qiu was dizzy, but before Baichuan Qiu could resist, his temple was once again pressed against the man's Beretta.
