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

"Captain, to me, you are all my brothers. Natalie is my sister-in-law and family. No matter what, I will not let her be in danger."

Bai Chuanqiu said seriously, "What's more, this matter itself is related to me. Please don't blame me for implicating you. I will be very grateful."

Ida Hang naturally wouldn't blame Shirakawa Akane: "How can I blame Shirakawa? It's those people... they're really going too far."

When he thought of Jincun Jin and others who stabbed him in the back, Ida Ko's eyes were filled with anger.

Bai Chuanqiu took the opportunity to change the subject: "By the way, how are those people doing now? They should have been dismissed and investigated, right?"

Ida Hang: "A lot of problems were found with them, and they have been handed over to the Procuratorate."

He recalled for a moment, then said, "Based on the evidence we've collected so far, it will take at least ten years to find out."

Baichuan Qiu narrowed his eyes: "That's not bad."

It's a bargain for them.

Several of his "old employers" flashed through his mind, and Baichuan Qiu raised the corners of his lips again.

It doesn’t matter, even if you go to prison, you can still take good care of them.

Ida Ko was completely unaware of Shirakawa Akane's "dark" plans and continued talking about Natalie: "Natalie has been doing very well lately and has been telling me about you from time to time. She was just particularly worried about you and had previously promised to keep your secret, but we still went to her. She's very sorry about this."

Bai Chuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "It's okay, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

These five people are all sharp guys. Even if Natalie didn't say it, they would suspect him sooner or later.

Bai Chuanqiu didn't feel angry at all, and simply raised the beer in his hand: "No more words, we are all brothers, and our feelings are all in the beer."

After he finished speaking, he drank the beer in the glass in one gulp.

Then Baichuanqiu shook the empty wine glass and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Deep feelings, drink it in one gulp."

Yi Dahang was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard such a statement. He found it funny and drank the wine in his glass generously: "Yeah! It's all in the wine!"

"What's going on? You two were drinking behind our backs?"

A curly-haired creature came over and wedged itself between the two of them.

Baichuan Qiu: "? What the hell."

Why did you drink secretly?

"Come on, drink again!"

Matsuda Jinpei opened a new can and pressed it in front of Shirakawa Akane.

Baichuan Qiu: "You guy, where's the moderation you promised me?"

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes widened: "Don't think I don't know how much you can drink. It's only two bottles."

"Hagi, and that golden retriever over there, come on, cheers!"

Fūya Rei smiled: "What a presumptuous curly-haired bastard."

Hagiwara Kenji held up his wine glass and tried to suppress his laughter: "It shows that you two have a good relationship."

Jianggu Ling: "..."

You don't have to.

The five wine glasses clinked together and then separated.

After finishing the topic with Date Kou, Shirakawa Akira was pulled away by Hagiwara Kenji again.

"Shirakawa-kun, did anyone from the Special Investigation Department come looking for you?"

Shirakawa Akane: Well, another well-informed person.

"They have looked for it, but their capabilities are limited, so they haven't found anything yet."

Hagiwara Kenji understood: "That's true. Our investigation found that Linlu Construction has serious financial problems. I think there must be something fishy behind this."

Baichuan Qiu frowned: "Oh?"

"Linlu Construction loses a significant amount of money every year to overseas accounts. The amount has accumulated over the years, and it's a serious problem," said Hagiwara Kenji. "But we haven't yet discovered where this money went, and Linlu Construction's executives are keeping silent, saying only that it was used for overseas gambling."

But how could such a large sum of money be spent through gambling?

Shirakawa Qiu: "That's definitely not right."

"It's a pity that this case is too complex and it's no longer within our jurisdiction to investigate." Hagiwara Kenji felt quite regretful.

Baichuan Qiu was not surprised: "After all, the Special Investigation Department has been dispatched, this matter will definitely not be handled by you."

Hagiwara Kenji naturally knew this and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I can't help Shirakawa."

Shirakawa Qiu chuckled: "Hagiwara, you have helped me enough."

No matter how much more it is, he will never be able to pay it back.

The two chatted for a while, then leaned on their arms and turned to look to the other side.

At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei was playing finger-guessing with Fūya Rei. Both of them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They watched each other's movements intently, ready for battle.

Furuya Rei: "I win, drink!"

Matsuda Jinpei: "Tsk!" (gulp)

Matsuda Jinpei: "I win this time!"

Fūya Rei: "I'll let you go for a minute, don't be too proud." (gulp)

Yi Dahang, who was watching, said: "Uh, drink less..."

Matsuda Jinpei/Furiya Rei: "Hah!"

Date Hang: o(⊙﹏⊙)o

Kenji Hagiwara and Akira Shirakawa looked at each other and chuckled.

"Matsuda has been working very hard recently. He took the initiative to apply for an investigation by the special task force and is currently cooperating with the Crime Countermeasures Department to capture members of the Yamaguchi-gumi," said Kenji Hagiwara.

"Yamaguchi-gumi?" Shirakawa Akira extracted their information from his memory.

The Yamaguchi-gumi is the gang that previously helped Linlu Construction deal with its "dirty business". They have relied on Linlu Construction over the years and have become arrogant and domineering, behaving badly.

"They—" Shirakawa Qiu curled his lips, "They should have been arrested long ago. The Crime Countermeasures Department is really just there to do nothing."

Hagiwara Kenji shrugged, agreeing with Shirakawa Akane's words: "And the old section chief's case is related to them."

Bai Chuanqiu raised an eyebrow: "Did their people do it?"

Hagiwara Kenji nodded: "It can be considered as a murder for hire. The evidence is already conclusive."

The old section chief fell to his death, and after so many years, the truth has finally come to light. Now the police have identified the real murderer of the old section chief, which can be regarded as an explanation to the old section chief and his family.

Bai Chuanqiu exhaled: "Belated justice...it has finally gone bad."

Hagiwara Kenji disagrees: "But we still need them to come, otherwise the darkness will only continue to grow, and it will be even more painful to pull them out then."

Baichuan Qiu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You are right."

Since the tragedy has already occurred, it should be curbed immediately to prevent it from spreading further.

Kenji Hagiwara and Akira Shirakawa smiled at each other, then clinked their glasses and drank.

After taking a sip of wine, Hagiwara Kenji talked about what would happen next: "What is Shirakawa going to do next? I'm afraid those people from the Special Investigation Department will come looking for you again."

As the person involved in the car accident, Shirakawa Qiu is an important witness in this case, and is involved in the secrets hidden behind Tsukamura Kazuya and others. Even if Shirakawa Qiu can no longer remember anything, the Special Investigation Department will not let Shirakawa Qiu go.

Hagiwara Kenji could imagine how annoying the Special Investigation Department would be. He might even help Shirakawa Akira find a doctor to see if he could recover his memories.

Bai Chuanqiu didn't care: "Anyway, I'm already like this, they can't force me to remember anything, right?"

Hagiwara Kenji laughed: "That's right, they are the ones who are anxious."
