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

"Good morning."

Baichuan Qiu yawned lazily and found a place to sit down casually.

The hall was particularly deserted today. Only Jackson was sitting on the other side eating breakfast. When he looked up and saw Bai Chuanqiu sitting down, he actually took the initiative to move his own plate to Bai Chuanqiu's side.

"It was so lively last night, everyone came over, and you really managed to sleep well." Jackson took a bite of bread, his tone slightly surprised.

Last night, they used a trap they had prepared in advance to successfully make Kato Sakurako, who had sneaked in, bear the charge of "attempted murder", and they firmly held Kato Sakurako's handle in their hands...

Almost everyone didn't sleep all night, so after this matter was over, no one got up this morning, but instead took a nap in their rooms.

Only Jackson, a night owl, saw that it was already very early, so he simply stayed up for a few more hours, came out to have breakfast and then went back to sleep.

As a result, I met Shirakawa Qiu here.

Seeing that Baichuan Qiu was yawning, Jackson became furious.

This guy's strength is not obvious, but he is really good at slacking off and running away.

Bai Chuanqiu rolled her eyes at him. "Your plan has already been prepared, and it has nothing to do with me, so it doesn't matter whether I come or not, right?"

Jackson: "Hey! It's an attitude thing!"

Baichuanqiu spread his hands: "No, I think it's a problem of thinking."

If you are not active in sleeping, there is something wrong with your thinking.

Jackson: "...I really don't understand why Yuta wants to work with you. What can you bring to the table?"

Baichuan Qiu: "If you are useful, then I am also useful."

Jackson: “…”

"Forget it, I can't argue with you." Jackson muttered, and finally sat back with his plate.

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

Sometimes I really wonder, is the Hase family really that reliable? Why do I always feel like they could collapse at any moment? I don't feel safe at all.

After he finished breakfast, the old butler came over and respectfully invited him to the master's study for a talk.

The study in the main house is not decorated luxuriously. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong scent of ink and a light woody fragrance.

Hase Yuta was sitting at the desk. He looked up and saw Shirakawa Akari. He smiled and gestured for Shirakawa Akari to sit down at the desk.

"Now that I have the Nishizaki family's evidence, can we discuss our cooperation in detail? Shirakawa... Qiu?"

The head of the family sitting in the wheelchair smiled, leaned back lazily, and looked at "Xiao Hei" in front of him with burning eyes.

"Although I don't understand why you are pretending, I don't care. I just hope that our cooperation goes smoothly."

Baichuan Qiu's face was calm, without any embarrassment at having his identity revealed: "It seems that the Hase family's decline over the years has not been as complete as I thought."

Being able to discover his identity... is quite interesting, but not so unreliable.

Baichuan Qiu always felt that doing business with smart people was much easier than doing business with stupid people.

After all, it is illogical to have bad teammates and betray others.

"Even though the Hase family has fallen, it hasn't become an ignorant outsider," Hase Yuta said slowly. "Anyone still obsessed with that case is either pursuing profit or revenge. And since you've taken the initiative to confess about Nishizaki Daisora, it won't be difficult to uncover your true identity by following Nishizaki Daisora's lead."

Hase Yuta sighed heavily, "I just didn't expect that Linlu Construction was related to the Nishizaki family, or even that it was the Nishizaki family's cash cow. This is really a bit surprising."

"If it weren't for Chuan Junhangping's case, all of us would have been kept in the dark."

Perhaps other people would think that this case was just a coincidence and would not tie Linlu Construction and the Nishizaki family together, but Hase Yuta knew their enemies too well. Linlu Construction had been hidden for many years and the amount of money involved was huge. The whereabouts of the funds that could not be traced were probably eventually put into the pockets of the Nishizaki family.

Unfortunately, the Nishizaki family ran away too quickly, and all the clues were cut off, so they had no evidence.

Hase Yuta stared at the disguised Shirakawa Akane and asked, "Are you hiding from Detective Mori and the others like this?"

The information said that the case of Funa Jun Hangping was solved by Detective Maori, so I think they must have known each other before.

Baichuan Qiu did not deny it: "Remember to keep it a secret for me."

"It's just that I really didn't expect you to be Shirakawa Akane." Hase Yuta frowned, recalling the photo of him he had found in the archives, and muttered softly, "It's not what I thought."

Shirakawa Qiu: "Oh?"

Could it be another acquaintance?

Hase Yuta relaxed, his hands hanging naturally on his legs, and said calmly: "Back then... if your father hadn't saved me in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be just these two legs."

Bai Chuanqiu raised an eyebrow: "So you know my father?"

"Of course." Hase Yuta's expression seemed to be filled with reminiscence. He stared at Shirakawa Akira's face, as if he was looking through him at someone else. "Shirakawa Masanao, an outstanding prosecutor who lives up to his name. Nine years ago, he was one of the key persons responsible for the Windru case."

"It's a pity that he died too early."

Hase Yuta's voice was filled with regret. "If he had still been alive at the time, perhaps this case would have been reversed, instead of still implicating so many people until today."

"Shirakawa...integrity?"

Baichuan Qiu murmured softly.

It turns out that the original owner's father was named Shirakawa Masanao.

"Oh, I almost forgot. The information shows that you lost your memory due to a car accident, so you don't know many things that happened back then." Hase Yuta pushed a document in front of Shirakawa Akane, "This is the information I found for you using the authority of the clan."

He explained seriously, "Much of Shirakawa Masanori's information has become top secret in the Special Investigation Department, so all I can find is the case related to Windru. I hope it will be useful to you."

Bai Chuanqiu lowered his eyes to look at the document, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Can I take it back and read it?"

"Please feel free." Hase Yuta nodded. "I think you really need it."

"Thank you."

"It's just that you are indeed different from what Shirakawa Masanori described."

Hase Yuta added slowly.

"I thought you were still recovering abroad. After all, Morimoto Yu never mentioned you... I didn't expect you to be back so early."

Even back seven years ago.

However, although the personality of the person in front of him is not quite the same as that described by Uncle Shirakawa, there is one thing that is exactly the same - that is, his youngest son is really a genius.

Hase Yuta believes that it is impossible for him to reach this point today single-handedly under the targeting of the Nishizaki family.

——As expected of Shirakawa Masanao’s son.

Hase Yuta couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged: "People, after experiencing many setbacks, will naturally become different."

"Then have you and your brother..." Hase Yuta hesitated to speak.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember a lot of things, but our relationship wasn't good." Bai Chuanqiu said frankly, "It's normal that he didn't mention me."

"Yes, that's right..."

Hase Yuta didn't mention this matter again.
