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

"Kobayashi Shunsuke! Where's he? Where did he go?"

Hearing the leader's call from above the table, Kobayashi Shunsuke quickly put his cell phone in his pocket and crawled out from under the table.

"I'm here!"

"What are you doing here?" The leader was startled, and without waiting for Kobayashi Shunsuke's reply, he pulled him to the office next door. "Forget it, this isn't important. Come with me first."

"What's going on?" Kobayashi Shunsuke cautiously asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

"Hey, a high-ranking official just came to the office and I need to go over and greet him. You can go see them off to the Special Investigation Department."

"The Special Investigation Department is leaving?" Kobayashi Shunsuke suddenly raised his voice excitedly.

The leader was startled again, and then said angrily, "What are you doing? Don't be so startled!"

Young people, how can you be so energetic?

"Ahem, sorry—" Kobayashi Shunsuke coughed lightly in embarrassment, "I'm just a little surprised. Aren't those guys from the Special Investigation Department still investigating? Why are you leaving again?"

"Hmph, they were just conducting a surprise inspection. If they didn't find anything, they should have left," the leader snorted. "We didn't even give them notice to check, but they still refused to leave. They even insisted on checking our permission records. Maybe they were just looking for trouble. Luckily, our department's senior leader came and chased them away. Otherwise, they might have stayed put. This Xi Qi Zhou Ming has no sense of propriety at all."

Kobayashi Shunsuke was secretly delighted and nodded along with his leader: "That's right, let them leave quickly."

"Leave it to you." The leader patted Kobayashi Shunsuke on the shoulder, and Kobayashi Shunsuke immediately straightened his chest and said, "Leave it to me!"

Soon, Kobayashi Shunsuke sent the person away with a smile on his face.

As soon as the people left, he happily shared the news with Kenji Hagiwara.

"What a coincidence?" Hagiwara Kenji raised an eyebrow. "Did you go find help?"

"No!" Kobayashi Shunsuke immediately denied, "Although I may have some connection...but I really didn't have time to call anyone this time. I thought it was you who called."

Hagiwara Kenji: "You were the one who just told me this news. How could I possibly be in time?"

"That's strange..."

Having the same doubts as the other two was Nishizaki Zhouming who left by car.

His eyes were grim as he glanced at the building that was gradually receding in the rearview mirror, his fingers tapping lightly on the edge of the car window.

How could it be such a coincidence?

As soon as they arrived at the Procuratorate's Office, that guy also came and asked for an emergency meeting, asking their Special Investigation Department to leave first...

"Who has Director Sanben been close to recently?" Nishizaki Zhouming closed his eyes and asked the people around him in a cold voice.

This director of the third department is the big leader who came today, and even Nishizaki Zhouming cannot offend him easily.

"Hey, Director Sanben..." The prosecutor beside Nishizaki Shōmei thought carefully and then shook his head in confusion. "He seems to have always been a loner, not clearly affiliated with any particular faction or organization."

"Where's the Hase family?"

"never heard of that."

"interesting."

Nishizaki Zhouming curled the corners of his mouth, and his lenses reflected a cold light.

Who invited such a huge Buddha?

-

Kyoto.

The murder case is over, but the new investigation has just begun.

However, Shirakawa Qiu did not plan to continue following up on the investigation of the geisha house.

This matter has the Hase family supervising it from behind, and there is also a Hakuba detective following up the whole process. I think the Nishizaki family will not get anything good out of it.

This time he is really going back to Tokyo.

Kogoro Mori and his family also went back with him.

However, the atmosphere in this family is rather depressing, which is very similar to the overall atmosphere of this Gion Festival.

Conan gained new insights from this case, while Ran Maori felt regretful because of the stories that happened to Anko Mikata and Nagai Nako. As for Kogoro Maori, his feelings were quite pure.

Because most of the geisha houses in Kyoto were involved in organized prostitution and almost all geishas were under investigation, the geisha performance on July 24 was forcibly cancelled.

Kogoro Mouri: I've been busy for most of the month, and I don't know what I've been busy with, but it seems like I haven't gained anything except money.

As for Hattori Heiji, because he asked his father to call for help, Hattori Heizo ordered him to return to Osaka immediately.

He even sent Yuanshan and Ye's father to pick up (capture) the two children.

So these two people left Kyoto a long time ago.

After sleeping for the last night in Kyoto and packing up, the rest of us prepared to drive back to Tokyo early in the morning.

What surprised Shirakawa Akane was that before he left, he received a call from Ayanokouji Fumimaro.

"Hello, Officer Ayanokouji, is there anything else?" asked Shirakawa Akane.

"I heard that you and Mr. Maori are planning to return to Tokyo today?"

"Correct."

"Well, Miss Mikata Kyoko heard you were leaving today, and she's asked to see you again. I wonder if Mr. Shirakawa could stop by and see you?" Ayanokouji Fumimaro said. "She said she almost let you take the fall for her crime, and she's deeply sorry and hopes to apologize to you in person."

Bai Chuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, looked out the window, and said in a light tone: "Sorry, I'm already heading out of the city, it's not very convenient."

"That's it."

"And I don't think there's any need for us to meet anymore." Bai Chuanqiu raised his voice slightly, his eyes calm. "Whatever happened in the past has returned to dust. I hope she can get over the shadow of the past soon and move forward with ease in the future."

Instead of looking back, it is better to hold your head high and stride forward.

A brand new life has just begun...

-

Kyoto Prefectural Police Station.

"Is that what he said?" Anzi Sanfang's expression was calm, and she didn't seem surprised.

Ayanokouji Fumimaro nodded. "Yes, and there's one more thing. The Hase family wants to provide you with a lawyer to defend you in this case. Would you accept?"

As if worried that Mikata Anzi wasn't entirely sure what the Hase family was, Ayanokouji Fumimaro kindly reminded her, "Their legal team has defended the Prime Minister before, so their strength shouldn't be underestimated."

Although that person later died in the detention center, the strength of this legal team should not be underestimated.

Sanfang Xingzi was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of her mouth: "Well, thank you."

——Nanako, I’m about to start a new life too.

——Are you okay in heaven?

——I will live well with your share.

……

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Shirakawa Akane and his group finally returned to the familiar Beika Town.

After getting out of the car, Shirakawa Qiu looked up at the Poirot Café which he had not seen for a long time, and a feeling of tiredness of returning home surged from the bottom of his heart.

what--

Finally back!

After saying goodbye to the Mori family, Shirakawa Qiu walked back to the Poirot Cafe.

At this moment, the Poirot Cafe was half closed. Toru Amuro and Azusa Enomoto were chatting while cleaning the utensils in the shop. When they heard the sound, they looked over and saw Shirakawa Akane, both of them looked surprised.

"You're back! Manager!"

Azusa Enomoto waved excitedly.

Amuro Toru looked at Shirakawa Akane with a burning gaze, a smile on his face: "Welcome back."

Baichuan Qiu stared at them, in a very good mood. He also raised his hand and waved, like a lucky cat: "Long time no see."

People are really strange. They don’t notice it when they see each other every day, but only after they experience separation do they start to miss the time they spent together.
