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

In front of the Poirot Café.

Shirakawa Qiu, who had been kicked out of the car, stood by the roadside, watching the car marked with the Special Investigation Department speed away, and sighed with emotion: "Wow, this is the first time I've seen them run so fast."

Sparks almost came out, for fear that they would run too slowly.

System: "Haha, this is the first time I see this guy so angry!"

The fox's eyes widened into a circle, as if it wanted to stare its host through.

Of course, the prerequisite is that his eyes can really stare through people.

Bai Chuanqiu tutted his words a few times: "I just analyzed a few sentences, and he got so angry. How petty."

System: "That's right, tsk tsk."

A man and a woman stood by the roadside, making sarcastic comments about the exhaust fumes from the cars.

When Shirakawa Qiu returned to Poirot Cafe, he successfully attracted the attention of other people in the cafe.

"Mr. Shirakawa!"

Conan waved his hand, unable to wait a moment, and asked Shirakawa Qiu to come over and sit down.

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

You little bastard, put away that detective vibe of yours.

"Shirakawa-kun, what's going on? Why are people from the Special Investigation Department coming here?" Kogoro Mouri was also very curious.

When the Special Investigation Department gets involved, the matter is usually not simple.

Bai Chuanqiu found a random seat at the bar and sat down, saying listlessly, "Nothing serious. They just asked me some questions to see if there were any clues. Unfortunately, the scene was chaotic and I was busy carrying water, so I didn't find any clues."

Conan: "Huh?"

Such a big event, and this is all that happened?

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged: "Of course, there are still some old grudges. That guy with fox eyes simply doesn't like me. You don't have to worry."

"Old grudge?" Amuro Toru raised his head curiously.

Baichuan didn't mention it to them.

"It happened before I entered the police academy." Shirakawa Akira glanced at Amuro Toru and explained briefly, "Maybe there's some misunderstanding between us."

What happened before the police academy?

This time, Toru Amuro was really surprised.

When they were in the police academy, everyone talked about their family matters to some extent, and even helped Zhu Fu solve a murder case that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

Only Shirakawa avoided talking about his family affairs, saying only that his parents had passed away and he was the only one at home. Everyone was worried that it was some tragic past event, so they did not ask any further questions.

Later, Shirakawa lost his memory in a car accident and forgot everything that happened before. No old friends or relatives came to visit him, and they rarely mentioned things before he lost his memory.

But now, what did he hear?

Does Shirakawa know the prosecutor named Morimoto Yui?

And it doesn't sound like a particularly good past...

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Baichuan Qiu smiled and didn't mention it anymore.

Conan was a little unwilling and wanted to ask something, but was hit on the head by Maori Kogoro beside him: "Hurry up and finish your drink, kid! We've been waiting for you!"

“Ouch—”

Conan covered his head and quickly drank the last sip of milk in the cup: "I know!"

Don't hit him on the head all the time!

"Okay, let's go, we're almost running out of time." Maori Kogoro glanced at his watch. "Oh no, there are only less than twenty minutes left until the time agreed upon by Mr. Hori. It looks like we'll have to take a taxi."

Mao Lilan stood up and said, "Then I'll go outside and stop a car."

"it is good."

Maori Kogoro looked at Amuro Toru and said, "Amuro-kun, please help pack up the remaining sandwiches. We will come to pick them up in the afternoon."

Toru Amuro: "Okay."

After the Mori family left in a hurry, Amuro Toru looked at Shirakawa Akane and asked, "What's going on with Prosecutor Morimoto?"

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged. "I really don't know. He's my parents' adopted son, and our relationship seems pretty ordinary. He also has some grudges against me because of my parents' death, but I've forgotten everything that happened before, and I don't know what he wants to do."

Amuro Toru: "So, Prosecutor Morimoto is your brother?"

Shirakawa Qiu: "About the same."

Although... he is the original owner's brother, they are not related by blood.

Amuro Toru thought for a moment, and suddenly understood something: "No wonder, no wonder I can't find anything..."

Shirakawa Akane looked at Amuro Toru: "Hmm?"

Amuro Toru said seriously, "Shirakawa, tell me, could your parents also be members of the Special Investigation Department?"

Shirakawa Qiu: "Huh?"

Amuro Toru rubbed his chin, his gray-purple eyes gleaming with a sharp edge. "I couldn't find any information about Shirakawa's parents no matter how hard I searched before. Now it seems that maybe it's because Shirakawa's parents were high-ranking officials in the Special Investigation Department when they were alive."

It may be because Shirakawa's parents were involved in some important secrets of the Special Investigation Department, so the department kept it strictly confidential and erased most of the information.

After hearing Amuro Toru's guess, Shirakawa Akira nodded: "I had that guess too, but unfortunately, Prosecutor Morimoto has a deep grudge against me and is unwilling to tell me too much."

Amuro Toru frowned: "Is that so..."

This is rather troublesome. After all, the National Police Department and the Procuratorate are not in the same department, and his authority is not enough to interfere in the affairs of the Special Investigation Department.

"But..." Bai Chuanqiu paused, "Although I can't remember the exact time, they should have died suddenly nine years ago."

"This situation is definitely not caused by any disease. It's most likely a natural or man-made disaster. Perhaps there are some clues in the news from nine years ago."

Something big must have happened that year, resulting in the death of both the couple.

Anyway, Baichuan Qiu didn't believe Morimoto Qiu's one-sided statement, saying that it was because the original owner killed their parents.

There must be something wrong here!

Amuro Toru understood, patted Shirakawa Akane's shoulder, and said seriously: "I will find a way to find out the major events that happened in the country nine years ago."

Although they have no clue at the moment, they can use the process of elimination.

Baichuan Qiu nodded: "Okay, thank you, Amuro."

Amuro Toru chuckled: "No need to say anything, I'm very happy to be able to help you."

-

On the other side, the Maori family, who were almost late, finally arrived at Hongmao Construction Co., Ltd. ahead of time by taxi.

Yoko Nakata was already waiting there.

"Excuse me, Mr. Maori?"

Seeing the beautiful woman in professional attire, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but brighten up: "Ahaha, it's me, it's me, you are..."

"I'm Yoko Nakata. Mr. Hori asked me to pick you up."

Yoko Nakata had a polite smile on her face.

"Oh, your name is Yoko too. Nice to meet you. You are so beautiful..."

Being one-third as beautiful as his goddess Yoko Okino is enough to make his heart beat faster——

Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly and tugged at the corner of Mao Li Kogoro's clothes lightly.

Maori Kogoro was serious for a second, and then he got into the mood in an instant: "Ahem, Ms. Nakata, please--"

"By the way, tell me what this commission is about."

"Okay, Mr. Maori, please come this way——"
