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

Due to the shortage of funds, the recruitment of new store employees has been temporarily put on hold.

But Shirakawa Qiu heard that a new coffee shop seemed to be opening near them.

The first person to bring the news was Azusa Enomoto, followed by Ran Mouri and Conan.

So everyone sat together and chatted that day.

"Their house has been under renovation for a long time, and they finally unveiled the sign recently. Before, it was kept secret, and many people were guessing what it was," said Azusa Enomoto.

Conan: "I've seen their decoration and layout, it seems very good."

Out of detective curiosity, he also went to observe for a while.

Shirakawa Akane was originally sitting casually, but after hearing Conan's words, he slowly sat up straight.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the coffee shop was on the same side of the street as them, less than two hundred meters away. They could meet each other in a few steps. They were definitely competitors.

A cafe is not a restaurant and has a limited customer base. On an ordinary street outside a commercial center, one cafe is almost full.

It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, a normal boss would not open a similar store next to a store that is already operating well and developing stably.

This is strange and inexplicably annoying.

Making money is very important to Baichuanqiu, and he doesn't want to see his customers being lured away by that new store.

The murderous intent rose uncontrollably in his chest again, and Baichuan Qiu's eyes flashed scarlet.

"When will they open?"

"It seems that they haven't announced it yet, but it seems that the decoration should be completed soon, and the facilities in the store are basically complete." Conan said.

"That's it-"

Baichuan Qiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and smiled at them: "Thank you for the news, I'll go check it out someday."

"Don't worry, store manager. Our Poirot has been open here for so many years. Our reputation and fame have always been very good. Not just any store can steal our business." Enomoto Azusa thought Shirakawa Akane was worried and hurried to comfort him.

"It's all right. I believe in our Poirot, too."

Baichuan Qiu was actually fine, he just couldn't control his urge to stab the coffee shop owner.

Fortunately, perhaps because he hadn't seen the real person yet, the desire to kill was still controllable. After taking a few deep breaths, Baichuan Qiu felt much better.

And at this time, his system progress did not pop up.

Baichuan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

-

It was another peaceful day, and two special guests came to Poirot Cafe.

A cool curly-haired man wearing sunglasses pushed open the door, his face serious, like a gangster, and fiercely surveyed the cafe. Following behind him was a handsome man with semi-long hair, also dressed in black casual clothes. He walked lazily, his arms folded, and glanced around the cafe slowly, a faint smile on his face.

Azusa Enomoto was startled and stood up nervously: "What are you two doing..."

"Bai! Chuan! Qiu!"

The curly-haired cool guy suddenly yelled, startling Shirakawa Qiu, who was still slacking off in his chair. Seeing Matsuda Jinpei rushing towards him, he looked terrified, "Why are you here?"

Matsuda Jinpei grinned and rolled up his sleeves: "Well, you're hiding here——"

"You, what are you going to do?" Seeing this scene, Azusa Enomoto subconsciously took out his cell phone and quickly tapped the police number.

It was simply that the guy in sunglasses was too fierce. She felt that he would beat their boss to death at any time.

"Sorry for scaring you. We have been friends for many years and were just joking with each other." Kenji Hagiwara interrupted Azusa Enomoto's actions in time.

Meanwhile, Shirakawa Akane was unable to escape and was grabbed by Matsuda Jinpei, who held his head and rubbed it violently.

"You sneaked back to Tokyo without even notifying us! This is a heinous crime, unforgivable. I'm punishing you by making you go out and drink with us, wearing this mess of hair!"

"Oh, wrong, wrong, my Lord Matsuda!"

Shirakawa Qiu waved his hands, trying to break free from the clutches of Matsuda Jinpei, but poor, weak and helpless, he was no match for the great devil Matsuda and was directly rubbed into a bird's nest hair.

I don't know if it's because curly hair has become curly hair, but after being ravaged by Matsuda Jinpei, Shirakawa Qiu's originally smooth short hair has completely turned into small curly hair. With that handsome face, he inexplicably looks like a beautiful white curly-haired cat that has been bullied.

Seeing this, Azusa Enomoto finally breathed a sigh of relief, then suppressed his laughter: "So you are the boss's friends, do you need anything to drink?"

"Two glasses of water will be enough." Hagiwara Kenji smiled and winked at Enomoto Azusa, "I'm sorry for scaring the beautiful lady."

Azusa Enomoto blushed: "It's okay, it's okay."

It’s true that handsome guys only play with handsome guys!

After comforting the frightened Azusa Enomoto, Kenji Hagiwara walked over.

Matsuda Jinpei was already sitting across from Shirakawa Akira, staring at him fiercely with an interrogating attitude, while Shirakawa Akira looked at Hagiwara Kenji cautiously: "I haven't been here long, really. If you don't believe me, go ask my clerk."

At this time, Hagiwara Kenji noticed the injuries on Shirakawa Akane's face and hands: "What happened to Shirakawa? Was he beaten?"

Matsuda Jinpei laughed, "He fell down while walking, and this is what happened."

Hagihara Kenji: "..."

He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "No wonder you didn't contact us, you were afraid of being laughed at."

Bai Chuanqiu was depressed: "It's good that you know."

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara were classmates of the original owner in the police academy. It is said that they had a very good relationship with the original owner back then.

When Baichuan Qiu woke up, he was facing the fate of having no money for treatment and was about to be kicked out of the hospital. It was the original owner's friends who pooled money together so that he could continue to stay in the hospital for treatment.

Later, when the bridge demanded a huge amount of compensation, debt collectors frequently came to harass Baichuanqiu. It was these friends who took turns to guard and stop those people outside the ward.

At that time, several friends had just graduated. The friend named Furuya Rei seemed to have never appeared once due to special reasons. Shirakawa Akane didn't even know what he looked like, but he was the one who contributed the most money among the few.

Zhu Fushi Jingguang often brought tonics and health-preserving soups. Not only did he cook delicious food, but he also had a good personality. Shirakawa Qiu had a good impression of him. However, Zhu Fushi Jingguang seemed to have something else to do later. He was often on business trips and rarely appeared.

The squad leader, Kou Ida, is a very tough guy who often brings his girlfriend's cooking to share with everyone. I heard that he has joined the Criminal Investigation Division's First Investigation Division. He is usually very busy investigating cases, and he has a girlfriend who needs company, so he usually comes to visit on weekends.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, on the other hand, were assigned to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Security Force's Mobile Unit. As long as there weren't any major bombings, their lives were relatively easy. Plus, both of them were single and could sleep in any bed, so it was these two people that Shirakawa Akira interacted with the most in the ward.

So after a few interactions, Baichuan Qiu finally got along well with these two people and became good friends again.

When Shirakawa Akira first traveled through time, he couldn't find any memory of the original owner and could only pretend to have amnesia. Thanks to Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, the two of them roughly told him the basic situation of the original owner, but when it came to the car accident, the two of them were not quite sure what happened.

However, they believed that Baichuan Qiu (the original owner) would not do such a thing.

Even before Baichuan Qiu woke up, they had already frequently reported and protested to the school. Unfortunately, this time the incident was too serious, and the higher-ups, who were always slow to act, acted decisively and quickly determined Baichuan Qiu's guilt and expelled him. It was even very close that Baichuan Qiu would have received a prison sentence.

Without commenting on what happened at that time, Baichuan Qiu was not sure whether the original owner really had a problem, so at his repeated requests, several friends did not make any more trouble and let the matter pass, becoming a permanent stain on Baichuan Qiu.
