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

"Mr. Shirakawa."

Conan came to the fork in the road and was a little surprised when he saw Shirakawa Qiu, especially when he saw the bruises on Shirakawa Qiu's face and his right hand wrapped in a bandage: "Mr. Shirakawa, what happened to you?"

The young man turned around and nodded to the child: "Conan, I'm fine, I just fell down while walking - why aren't you with Detective Maori?"

Conan scratched his head uncomfortably. "Uncle Maori asked me to come over and help take a look at some suspicious things."

The young man lowered his eyes and looked at him, with a hint of darkness in his golden eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

Conan blinked.

He wasn't really familiar with Mr. Shirakawa, but he always felt that Mr. Shirakawa was a little strange, especially today when he was injured...

Conan decided to take the initiative: "If Mr. Shirakawa is also interested in the case, why not go to the scene and have a look and talk to Uncle Maori and the others."

He had just seen Baichuan Qiu standing outside the cordon and watching, and he seemed to be interested in the case as well.

Baichuan Qiu smiled and bent down, touching Conan's head with his good hand: "That's not necessary. My ability is average. I can't see anything, and it will affect the police's solving of the case. That would be even more annoying."

"Eh?"

Conan is a bit strange.

More annoying?

What do you mean?

"But the situation here does look a bit strange."

Shirakawa Qiu pulled Conan to the fork in the road and deliberately did not explain what he said.

Conan suppressed his doubts and followed Shirakawa Qiu to see.

"Look at this position. There are obstructions on both sides of the corner. Even if you turned the corner, you can't tell at first glance which direction the deceased ran. But how did you know he ran to the left?"

Conan raised his hand and pointed across: "The shop opposite was not open at that time, and the window could vaguely illuminate the figure of Mr. Nakatsu running."

Mr. Nakatsu ran very fast and they were almost left far behind. The continuous corners on this road made it difficult to distinguish. Fortunately, Conan saw the figure reflected on the opposite street from a distance, otherwise he and Uncle Maori would have lost him at this intersection.

"In other words, you only saw his silhouette turning from the window, but you didn't witness him being hit by the car."

Conan nodded.

That's why he had some doubts.

There were no surveillance cameras at these corners and intersections, and they had a visual blind spot for a while. If someone had changed people during this time, or if another person had taken the opportunity to attack Mr. Nakatsu...

"I see." Shirakawa Qiu said casually, as if asking casually, "I hope Detective Maori can successfully solve this case."

Conan: "Mr. Shirakawa, don't you have any clues? I thought Mr. Shirakawa..." There is an answer...

As he was speaking, Sato Miwako walked over from a distance.

"Conan, shouldn't you go to school? Mr. Maori asked me to take you to school."

Miwako Sato said as she turned the car keys in her hand.

Conan's expression froze.

Uh, I almost forgot, he has to go to school today!

Baichuan Qiu suppressed his laughter.

Hahaha, our smart and brave detective still has the worry of going to school.

Wow, that’s just too funny.

"Huh?" Sato Miwako noticed Shirakawa Akane, especially her very distinctive white hair, and instantly remembered what Takagi Wataru had said to her last time.

"You are—Senior Shirakawa?" She was very surprised. "Your face and hands..."

Bai Chuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Senior, that's not necessary. I'm very clear about my reputation among you. As for my face and hands, they were just a fall."

Miwako Sato had to admit that Takagi Shigeru was right. Even if the other person had bruises on his face, it would not affect his appearance.

She changed the subject somewhat awkwardly: "Hello Mr. Shirakawa, my name is Sato Miwako."

"Hello, Officer Sato."

Baichuan Qiu patted Conan's head and said, "Going to school is more important. Conan, hurry up and follow Officer Sato to school."

Conan: "Ah, hey, this——"

Conan's scalp began to tingle.

He had just gained a preliminary understanding of the case. How could he be so relieved now that he dropped the case and went straight to school?

Sato Miwako noticed Conan's stiffness, but it was normal for a child not to want to go to school. She just reached out her hand and wanted to hold Conan's hand: "Let's go, Conan, if you're any later, the second class will be over soon."

Conan tried to resist: "But I want to stay and investigate the case!"

If the person in front of him was Takagi Wataru, then Conan might really be able to act like a spoiled child and not have to go to school today.

Unfortunately, the person in front of him was the more rational and tougher Sato Miwako.

"Let's go." Sato Miwako picked up Conan, smiled politely at Shirakawa Akane, and then led people to the police car on the other side.

Baichuan Qiu watched the whole process and sighed softly, "It's really tragic."

Having also been through the student days, Baichuan Qiu knows clearly that even if the mountains collapse and the earth breaks tomorrow, as long as the school opens, parents must let their children continue to go to school.

Even Conan couldn't escape.

Baichuan Qiu had no intention of being the kindhearted person, but remained silent very tactfully, watching the police car speed away.

I looked at my watch. Wow, maybe I can actually make it to the second class.

Even the system was gloating: "With Conan gone, this case is probably over."

As a criminal system, it is very satisfying to see detectives get humiliated.

"Host, now that we have acquired the skills, why don't we go back and plan our ingenious murder case!" the system said secretly.

Baichuan Qiu thought about it for a moment, then walked towards the crime scene.

At this moment the scene became lively again.

The athlete that Wu Youbaishu mentioned has arrived. He is a short man with particularly well-developed leg muscles. It is obvious at first glance that he is a sports practitioner. According to the police's questioning, his name is Kou Yonghui.

Kou Yonghui was called over at the last minute. He was wearing a sports hoodie and sweatpants. His face was wet and he looked like he had just come down from a runway.

His face was filled with anger and speechlessness: "What does this have to do with me? If he suspects me, he can just report it! Talking about people behind their backs is useless!"

Wu Youbaishu was also very angry: "Yes, he originally wanted to get evidence against you and then report you! But he is dead now! Maybe you have a guilty conscience and were afraid that he would discover your ugly deeds, so you killed him!"

Kou Yonghui pointed at him and cursed, "You're talking nonsense! You were driving the car, you hit the person, and you still have the nerve to throw dirty water at me?"

He narrowed his eyes, filled with resentment. "And from what I understand, he owes you a large sum of money from horse racing. Haven't you been asking him for the money recently? Maybe because he didn't pay you back, you felt resentful and deliberately ran him over!"

Wu Youbaishu's weakness was immediately exposed, and he flew into a rage: "Are you kidding me? It's not like he won't pay me back. What good will his death do me?"

Megure Jusan and the others just watched and allowed the two people to expose each other's shortcomings.

This is also a way to solve the case. By watching the suspects fighting each other, the police can obtain a lot of information in disguise.

For example, the deceased Yumihei Nakatsu actually owed a large sum of money to Momoki Takeyu from horse racing, something the police had not known about before.

This case may seem simple, but if it involves some personal grudges and unresolved doubts... the police will not give up so easily.

On the other side, the deceased's wife Mina Nakatsu was crying breathlessly, and Takagi Shigeru could only carefully hand her wet tissues.

This may be a habit in the Conan world. Suspects are summoned on the spot, bodies are claimed on the spot, and cases are solved on the spot.

But anyone familiar with criminal investigation knows that each of these steps is very different from reality.

But of course, Baichuanqiu doesn't care about these details.

He walked straight to Takagi Wataru's side.
