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

Everything happened so fast.

From the time the new case occurred to the time the murderer surrendered and was arrested, Hattori Heiji and Conan had not yet further understood the situation at the scene before they watched Anko Mikata get into the police car and be taken back to the police station.

In the bleak night wind, they are the only ones in disarray.

"Miss Anzi was planning to turn herself in from the very beginning." Conan understood everything. "After killing the enemies who killed her friends, she turned herself in to expose the affairs of the geisha house and save her other friends there, but she herself..."

Hattori Heiji scratched his hair in annoyance.

They couldn't help her, nor could they help the girls who were forced to sell their bodies.

Baichuan Qiu seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to help Miss Xingzi?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan turned to look at him.

The white-haired young man had a mysterious smile on his face.

"But, but..." Hattori Heiji hesitated, "Ms. Anzi is indeed committing a crime, and now that the truth is out, there is very little we can do..."

"No, no, the truth hasn't come out yet." Baichuanqiu shook his head. "Isn't there still the matter of the geisha house?"

"But once Miss Xingzi arrives at the police station, she will definitely be exposed—"

"Ahem—" Shirakawa Qiu coughed lightly, "There's one thing I forgot to tell you. The Nishizaki family is actually behind the geisha house—and as you saw, the father of the Nishizaki Shaku who just died is the real owner of the geisha house."

Conan and Hattori Heiji were both stunned: "What?!"

No wonder Nishizaki Hayabusa reacted so strongly just now. They thought that he and the geisha house were just a community of interests, but it turns out that he is the old boss!

Conan pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "If that's the case, the Nishizaki family will definitely not let Miss Anzi speak, and their most direct way should be to give Miss Anzi benefits to keep her quiet - if Miss Anzi is willing to cooperate..."

Hattori Heiji also became excited: "Letter of understanding?"

If the secrets of the geisha house were more important than human lives in the eyes of those people, then the Nishizaki family would most likely join forces with the families of the previous victims and issue a letter of apology to Mikata Anko.

Although the letter of apology cannot directly acquit Mikata Anzi in court, considering that the criminal voluntarily surrendered himself and Mikata Anzi himself was also a victim, the court should eventually reduce Mikata Anzi's sentence.

"If Miss Anzi agrees to their request, then we will be the only ones to expose the geisha house," Shirakawa Qiu said. "And if we expose them later, it won't be considered a violation of the agreement. Besides, they will probably be too busy to take care of themselves by then, so the legal effect of this letter of understanding will still be valid—"

"Wonderful——"

After listening to Baichuan Qiu's words, the system couldn't help but sigh in Baichuan Qiu's mind.

This cunning person is really bad——

"Is this why you whispered to Mikata Anzi just now?"

The system asked in a low voice.

Shirakawa Qiu shrugged.

In fact, he arrived at the scene earlier than Conan and the others.

At that time, Anko Mikata had just killed Shaku Nishizaki, but Shaku Nishizaki's bodyguards were still waiting at the door, having no idea that their young employer had died because of his beauty. It was not until the police arrived at the scene that they realized what had happened.

When Sanfang Anzi saw Shirakawa Qiu, for some reason, she took the initiative to ask the police -

"Hello, can you give me a cigarette?"

Because the person surrendered voluntarily and was very cooperative, Ayanokouji Fumimaro agreed to this request.

So Shirakawa Qiu took the initiative to step forward, took out his cigarette and handed it to Sanfang Anzi.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Anzi Mikata lowered her voice and whispered.

Shirakawa Akane then realized that Mikata Anko actually wanted to tell him about this.

——Regarding his accomplice in the first case.

Bai Chuanqiu laughed.

Such a smart woman is indeed a useful weapon.

In view of this, Shirakawa Qiu lit a cigarette for her and whispered, "I agree to the Nishizaki family's silence."

Anzi Sanfang was stunned.

Seal the secret? The Geisha House incident?

But she had already prepared to perish together with him——

"Trust me, Miss Accomplice."

Shirakawa Qiu blinked at Sanfang Anzi, his light golden eyes filled with confidence and determination.

……

"But how can we be sure that Miss Anzi will agree to keep her mouth shut?" Conan became distressed.

"Then let's hurry up and chase after her." Hattori Heiji suggested, "Before Miss Anzi tells anyone, let's remind her—"

"Wait, Miss Anzi is a smart person. She has noticed that I'm investigating the geisha house, and she also admires Mr. Maori Kogoro." Shirakawa Qiu lied calmly, "Maybe she has already thought of this idea."

"Eh?"

-

Kyoto Prefectural Police Station.

"Excuse me, Ms. Sanfang Xingzi, what is the situation with the report you just mentioned?"

In the interrogation room, Ayanokouji Fumimaro sat in front of Mikata Anko with a serious expression.

Sanfang Anzi just pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"you--"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro frowned and wanted to say something, but the interrogation room was pushed open again.

"Officer Ayanokouji, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you." A middle-aged police officer said while standing at the door.

Ayanokouji Fumimaro turned his head and saw that it was the head of their section.

Ayanokouji Fumimaro glanced at Mikata Anko and vaguely smelled a different scent. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked out.

A few minutes later, a lawyer wearing glasses sat in front of Mikata Anzi.

"Hello, Ms. Sanfang Xingzi, I'm a lawyer from Xingyao Entertainment. I'd like to discuss something with you..."

……

A few minutes later, the lawyer got his answer with satisfaction and walked out of the interrogation room smoothly.

The person walking towards him was Ayanokouji Fumimaro.

The lawyer nodded to him. Ayanokouji Fumimaro raised an eyebrow, ignored the guy, and walked back into the interrogation room.

"Let's continue with the previous topic." Ayanokouji Fumimaro said.

"Kinda Sun, Iwae Masato, Fuji Shuto, and Nishizaki Shaku took turns bullying me and my friend Nagai Nako at a party last year," Mikata Kyoko said calmly, "and that's my reason for killing."

"Although Nako is dead now, I hope you can get a fair result."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro just stared at her: "Are you sure this is what you wanted to say?"

Sanfang Xingzi twitched the corner of her mouth: "Yes."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro didn't say anything else. After asking about the details of the case, he stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Hattori Heiji appeared out of nowhere and got close to Ayanokouji Fumimaro. "Officer Ayanokouji, what's going on? Are there any details about the case you can share with us?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro glanced at him and said, "You detectives are really curious."

Hattori Heiji chuckled, "There's nothing I can do. I'm really curious about what Ms. Mikata Kyoko wants to report. Wasn't Officer Ayanokouji curious at first?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro noticed something and looked at him with a half-smile: "Then what do you think it is?"

Hattori Heiji tried to play dumb: "How would I know?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro, however, held Conan's head and said in a cold tone: "I just feel that you and this little guy might know something - and that white-haired boy over there."

The white-haired boy, Shirakawa Qiu, blinked innocently, feeling very aggrieved: "Huh? How would I know?"
