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

However, things are always unpredictable.

When Kogoro Mori finished the so-called "last cup", the nun walked into the Japanese-style room silently, holding a jar of wine.

Hattori Heiji was surprised: "Huh? Grandma Seng, we didn't order any wine."

"This is for you." The nun said in a hoarse voice, and then without waiting for others to react, she quietly left the room.

"A gift? A gift?" Maori Kogoro picked up the wine jar in surprise, uncorked it and sniffed it gently. His eyes lit up, "What a nice smell! What a good wine! Is this really a gift for us?"

Sanfang Anzi explained with a smile: "It is the custom of the nun. If she meets a new face, she will offer her own brewed wine to show respect to the new guest."

"There's such a custom?" Maori Kogoro was a little incredulous. "The monk's brewing skills are amazing! If she opened a wine shop business, she would definitely make a lot of money."

"Haha..." Sanfang Anzi covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is just the monk's little hobby."

Since the wine was already in front of him, there was no reason for Maori Kogoro not to drink it. As a result, he was amazed by the first sip: "My nose was right, it's really good wine! Shirakawa-kun, you should try it too."

Baichuan Qiu was a little curious, but because he guessed what Sanfang Anzi was planning, he didn't drink too much. He just filled the wine glass with a little and dipped his lip in the wine.

——The wine is indeed good, but the alcohol content is quite high and it is very easy to get drunk.

……

So, Kogoro Mouri got drunk as everyone expected.

Looking at Maori Kogoro who was sleeping soundly on the low table, Maori Ran put her hands on her hips with a headache: "Ah, really, I told you to drink less."

The afternoon's itinerary hadn't even started yet, but he was already drunk.

Really satisfied.

Baichuan Qiu was very ashamed: "I'm sorry for not being able to persuade Mr. Maori."

Mao Lilan quickly shook her head: "Of course, this is not Mr. Shirakawa's fault. It's Dad who has always wanted to drink it."

"Then I'll take Mr. Maori back, and you guys continue shopping." said Shirakawa Qiu.

Mao Lilan was even more embarrassed: "No, isn't Mr. Shirakawa busy looking for someone? I'd better take Dad back."

It would be a shame to trouble Mr. Shirakawa like this.

Toyama Kazuha: "Ah? Then let's go back with Xiaolan! It's inconvenient for you to take Uncle Maori with you."

She poked Hattori Heiji: "Heiji, it's up to you!"

Hattori Heiji held his forehead and said, "I know, I know. What an unreliable uncle."

Mikata Anzi looked around and then asked, "Is your place far from here? If it's inconvenient, you can just let Mr. Maori stay here for a rest."

Mao Lilan: “Huh?”

Mikata Anzi: "We have a spare room here. Mr. Maori can rest here for the whole afternoon until you come back to pick him up in the evening. Besides, he's drunk, so it's not easy for him to move, right?"

It was a bit strange to walk with a drunk man in the middle of the day.

Mao Lilan hesitated.

Bai Chuanqiu made the decision for her directly: "Let's do it this way. It's rare for you to go out for a walk. Don't let boring adults affect your plans."

As he spoke, he winked at them and said, "We are all young people. It will be more comfortable without adults around."

Mao Lilan blushed a little: "Thank you, Mr. Shirakawa, and thank you, Miss Xingzi."

"It's okay, I'll just tell the nun." Sanfang Anzi stood up and said, "Wait a moment."

Then, under the guidance of the monk, Shirakawa Qiu helped Maori Kogoro to the lounge on the second floor.

The group said goodbye at the courtyard gate.

"Mr. Shirakawa, aren't you in a hurry to leave?" Conan looked up at Shirakawa Qiu.

The white-haired young man smiled and rubbed Conan's head: "Miss Xingzi and I have something to discuss. You two can go first."

Only then did Conan remember that Shirakawa Qiu was looking for someone.

"Conan, let's go."

Ran Maori calls out to Conan.

"Goodbye, Mr. Shirakawa."

"Goodbye."

After the group of young men left, the smile on Baichuan Qiu's face faded a lot.

He looked at Mikata Kyoko beside him and said, "Take me to your geisha house?"

Sanfang Anzi's expression was complicated: "You clearly know that Nazi is dead."

But he still went to the geisha house under the pretext of looking for someone...

If those people saw it, it would be very dangerous——

Bai Chuanqiu said innocently: "Why? Can't I just be curious and want to take a look around?"

"It's a very dangerous thing to spy on a geisha house."

"Then what you are doing now is not also a dangerous thing?"

Sanfang Anzi was silent: "Are you just an ordinary coffee shop owner?"

Just now while eating, she realized that the guy in front of her was just the owner of a cafe.

But what kind of good person would hit someone with a brick without blinking an eye? And talk to her, a murderer, without blinking an eye?

Anzi Mikata thought he was a real weirdo.

A guy with a lot of secrets.

Unfortunately, she has now lost the desire to explore other people's secrets.

"Of course, I'm a good boss and a good citizen of Rice Flower." Bai Chuanqiu spread his hands, "Then what do you think my identity is?"

Sanfang Xingzi didn't say anything, just turned around and said: "Wait a moment."

Baichuan Qiu didn't say anything else. He stood at the door and watched the girl in kimono walk back to the courtyard.

System: "Host, why didn't you warn her? Now that she has met Conan and the others, it won't be long before she, the murderer, is exposed."

Shirakawa Qiu spread his hands and said, "She and I are not familiar with each other. Besides, since she knew that there were two detectives on this team, the risk of her committing a crime would be greatly increased. But she still insisted on getting Maori Kogoro drunk. There is nothing I can do."

Perhaps it's a common problem among murderers. They get excited when they meet a detective and have to commit crimes under the detective's nose.

There was nothing he could do, after all, he couldn't even control himself.

System: "Host, what should we do next?"

Shirakawa Akane: "Of course, just as I said just now, I'll go to the geisha house with Mikata Anko."

System: "Eh? At this time? The Nishizaki family will definitely notice it, right?"

Wouldn't this alert the enemy?

If the Nishizaki family knew that Shirakawa Akane might be investigating the geisha house, they would definitely be more vigilant and ask those black industries to curb their activities.

Subsequent investigations will certainly become difficult.

Baichuan Qiu snorted and laughed, saying nonchalantly: "I just want to alert the enemy. My purpose is not to really reveal the secret of the geisha house. My only target from the beginning to the end is the Nishizaki family."

System: “Yes.”

Shirakawa Akane: "After a series of incidents, the Nishizaki family must want me dead even more. If I guess correctly, this task should be given to that Nishizaki Kenji."

Coincidentally, Kenji Nishizaki is also in Kyoto and is living in Nishizaki's old house.

Just imagine, if at this time, Shirakawa Akane happened to appear in Nishizaki's base in Kyoto, and was investigating the Nishizaki family's geisha house, asking around about the geisha house, and asking Nishizaki Kenji if he was in trouble.

Above?

That’s right, come and kill him.
