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

In a luxurious manor in Kyoto.

“Knock knock knock knock—”

A series of hurried footsteps came from the end of the path.

The sound of wooden clogs stepping on the bluestone slabs made a very crisp sound. A young man with a handsome face and wearing a kimono hurriedly trotted over, and finally stopped in front of the pavilion and took a deep breath.

This is an ancient pavilion with solid and luxurious wooden beams, staggered tile roofs, and pillars intricately carved with ancient patterns, showing traces of time everywhere.

In the pavilion, an old man knelt quietly on a cushion, sipping tea comfortably and admiring the lake view outside.

The old man was dressed in a black kimono, exuding the majesty and solemnity that came with the years. His white hair was neatly combed, the wrinkles on his face were like ravines of time, and his eyes were deep and distant.

He blew the tea in front of him slowly, without even glancing at the young man outside the pavilion, and sipped his tea by himself.

The young man knew the old man's character and did not dare to act recklessly. After standing up straight, he quickly adjusted his breathing and bowed slightly to the old man: "Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you now, but I have something to report to you now."

"come in."

The old man spoke in a calm tone, and no emotion could be heard from his voice. However, the expression on the young man's face became more respectful. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes."

He took off his clogs, walked up quietly, and knelt in front of the old man.

"Tell me, what's the matter that requires you to disturb me in such a hurry."

The old man put down his teacup slowly.

"Yes, something happened in the side branch." The young man said with his head lowered.

"Who?"

"Nishizaki Daisora," the young man replied. "He was exposed for having an illegitimate child, which caused a huge negative impact on him. Later, on his way back to Tokyo, he was in a car accident and died."

"Nishizaki Daisora?" The old man closed his eyes, his thoughts searching rapidly in his mind, and finally opened his eyes. "Ah, just an unimportant little character."

If I remember correctly, Nishizaki Daisora ​​is the eldest son in the second brother's family.

"Having said that..."

The young man lowered his eyes. "We've already sent people to investigate, and they didn't find anything unusual. But his illegitimate son and Lin Lu Jianshe are involved with Sheng Guang. I'm worried that..."

He carefully observed the old man's expression and said, "I'm worried that this is related to what happened nine years ago—"

"Humph."

The old man snorted coldly, and the young man immediately didn't dare to continue speaking.

"What happened back then was a complete failure in the first place, and now it's being brought out into the open. I think those guys are going backwards."

The old man's voice was cold and stern.

The young man swallowed, lowered his head and dared not respond.

"Who was responsible for dealing with the youngest son of the Shirakawa family?"

"It seems to be Uncle Jianer."

Kenji Nishizaki, the younger brother of the deceased Daisora ​​Nishizaki, is the best developed person among the collateral branch.

"I see."

Linlu Construction has always been a cash cow for Nishizaki Daizora and Nishizaki Kenji. For the sake of money, the old man turned a blind eye and let them do it.

But now that something has happened, it can't be blamed on him.

"I guess that idiot Kenji still refuses to give up and disobeys my orders, continuing to attack the youngest son of the Shirakawa family! What an idiot! He didn't even take care of the man before he killed his own brother."

In fact, after the Lin Lu Jianshe incident, the old man had already ordered that no one else should continue to attack the youngest son of the Baichuan family, and to keep a low profile and wait until the Lin Lu Jianshe incident was over.

It’s a pity that some people have become wild over the years and have turned a deaf ear to his words.

Young man: "The main reason is that Baichuan Qiu is really weird, and Uncle Jian wants to continue to test his depth..."

"Haha, don't I know what he's thinking?" The old man sneered. "Most likely he's been beaten by the same guy repeatedly, and he feels embarrassed and wants to get revenge."

The young man smiled awkwardly and stopped speaking for Nishizaki Kenji.

After all, Kenji Nishizaki is just a member of the side branch, and their relationship is just like that. He won't continue to annoy his grandfather for this.

"If he hadn't been so arrogant back then, how could Shirakawa Masanori have discovered the clues? And he's still alive today as a root of trouble."

The young man didn't respond.

"Where is the adopted son of the Shirakawa family?"

The old man continued to ask.

"He's also taken over the Linlu Construction case and seems to be interested in the car accident seven years ago. But with Third Uncle watching over him, nothing should go wrong."

The young man whispered.

This Baichuan Yu is a fool. He thought that by changing his surname and joining the Special Investigation Department, he would be able to find out the truth about the death of his adoptive parents. But unfortunately, he didn't know that he was already being targeted by them as soon as he entered the Special Investigation Department.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been well behaved for so long and Uncle San... admired this guy, they would have probably gotten rid of him long ago.

"How is his relationship with the youngest son?"

The young man shook his head. "It doesn't seem very good. Baichuanqiu still believes that many of the things that happened back then were Baichuanqiu's fault, so his attitude towards him is very bad. The investigation of the case is also handled impartially and is not biased towards Baichuanqiu at all."

"I hope so." The old man said cryptically.

The young man hesitated, then asked cautiously, "So what should we do with these two people now?"

Especially that Shirakawa Qiu, he is really strange. I only heard before that the Shirakawa family has a little son who stays abroad all year round and seems to be in poor health. The Shirakawa couple often go abroad to visit their little son all year round, but they rarely talk about him to outsiders.

So in fact, no one took this person seriously at the beginning. Basically, they classified this sickly person as a dying person who did not need any attention.

But they never expected that this guy, whom they had ignored, would escape their pursuit after the death of the Shirakawa couple, even swagger back to the country and successfully enter the police academy...

This is simply shocking!

They were really starting to doubt that this Baichuan Qiu was not the real person.

——After all, this person is really outrageous. No matter whether it was eight years ago or eight years later, none of the killers they sent came back alive.

Not only did he not come back, but he also attracted Baichuan Qiu's attention. If the car accident had not taken away his memory, he would have followed the traces and found him long ago.

Thinking of this, the young people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

fortunately……

No, it’s not so good now.

Otherwise, nothing would have happened to the side branch.

The old man also spoke up: "This incident must be just the beginning. He is declaring war on our Nishizaki family."

The Nishizaki family is a famous political family in Sakura. It has produced prime ministers and cabinet ministers. Its members are distributed in various fields of politics. It is one of the most famous families in the circle.

In this family inheritance model of "the son of a politician is a politician, and the son of a doctor is a doctor", they have almost become the leaders of a faction and have great influence.

It’s a pity that they are no longer the ruling party.

But this does not affect their transcendent status.

Originally, giants like them would never lower their heads to look at the ants on the ground.

However, Baichuanqiu had indeed stirred up quite a storm, causing quite a stir. Not only had they lost the cash cow of Linlu Construction, but they had also been emboldened to attack their own people, even deliberately provoking them.

Really looking for death.

The old man tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking for a long time before finally saying, "Since Jian'er is not convinced, let him go."

He picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued to look at the lake outside, but his eyes were cold and ruthless.

——"If we lose, let this loser commit suicide along with the family's honor."
