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

Half an hour later, in front of Poirot Café.

"Are you really not staying for dinner?" Baichuanqiu asked.

"Wow, forget it. What kind of trouble has happened at the company again? I'm waiting for you to go back." Lin Zhaozhao waved her hand with despair. "Next time, next time for sure."

"Okay, be safe on the road."

Baichuanqiu waved again.

Lin Zhaozhao also waved, and beside her, Shimizu Hori waved while solemnly saying, "If you need my help, please let me know anytime."

"Uh-huh."

Baichuan Qiu nodded heavily.

After Lin Zhaozhao left, Baichuan Qiu returned to the coffee shop and sat back in his previous seat with a serious expression.

Azusa Enomoto cleared the tableware off the table, Toru Amuro wiped the table clean with a rag, and then sat down as well.

"What do you think about this matter?" Baichuanqiu asked him.

Amuro Toru's expression was serious: "It doesn't look good."

Xingyao Entertainment’s team building activities are usually held on a boat, usually going to the high seas for a tour and then coming back.

This kind of routine is common in illegal transactions at sea. Moreover, because it is located on the high seas, it is relatively private, the control of various countries is relatively weak, and it is difficult to investigate. It is basically a paradise for illegal crimes and a major disaster area in the three areas of pornography, gambling and drugs.

Although Shimizu Hori said that everyone who came back felt that there was no problem with the team building, Amuro Toru knew that anything could happen on such an absolutely secretive ship that was absolutely out of the reach of the law.

He felt that this matter was not easy to handle.

"I wonder if this so-called lottery they use is really just luck, or if they're deliberately selecting their targets... Maybe I could send someone up there to take a look," Amuro Toru suggested. "It's already the second half of the year, and the so-called end of the year is only a few months away. They should be starting preparations for this year's team building, so we can get ready in advance."

Baichuan Qiu shook his head: "Probably not this year."

Amuro Toru: "That's right. Their family is now in the spotlight because of the geisha house incident. As long as they are not stupid, they will definitely not continue with this so-called team building."

"And they know that now many people are watching them, and there will be another election next year, so they can't make any more mistakes."

According to Shirakawa Akane's understanding of the Nishizaki family, they will definitely hide their true intentions and not let the police or political opponents catch them in any trouble.

Amuro Toru sighed: "What a pity."

This is an important clue.

"Let's contact Mikata Anzi first," Shirakawa Qiu said. "I've heard her talk about team-building before, but it was about a geisha house. Her expression wasn't very good at the time, and I don't know which team-building it was about. Maybe she knows something."

Amuro Toru nodded: "It just so happens that Kazami hasn't come back yet, I'll ask him to check."

"Well, please."

Baichuan Qiu said this, also with a thoughtful look on his face.

If we can't continue targeting Xingyao Entertainment, then we can only...

Use plan B.

-

On the other side, a pet hospital.

"Don't move, I warn you again, don't move—"

Matsuda Jinpei shouted coldly, and the force of the restraint continued to increase. Even when the person under him began to wail, he did not relax at all.

Miwako Sato squatted down and searched the person on the ground, and sure enough, she found a pistol on him.

Shiratori Renzaburo pulled Takagi Wataru back and said coldly, "You're too careless! What if he finds an opportunity to shoot you? What will you do?"

Takagi Shigeru lowered his head apologetically: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

Just a few minutes ago, they found the forensic doctor who had performed the autopsy report on Hase Jin.

This forensic doctor resigned a few years ago and is not currently working in the forensic field. Instead, he re-obtained the relevant certificate and works as a veterinarian in a pet hospital.

When they arrived, the doctor, Tomoya Nakaya, was treating a pet dog.

Shiratori Jinsaburo went to find the director of the pet hospital to find out what was going on. As for Matsuda Jinpei, it wasn't known whether it was because he smelled of cigarettes or because he didn't look like a good person, but as soon as he came in, the dog next to him kept barking at him, attracting the attention of the people around him. So Matsuda Jinpei could only move away helplessly.

Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi were guarding the two doors of the clinic to prevent Tomoya Nakaya from escaping.

After Nakaya Tomoya finished examining the pet in front of him, Takagi Wataru pushed the door open and walked in: "Hello, is this Dr. Nakaya Tomoya?"

Nakaya Tomoya raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his gaze: "Aren't you here to see a doctor?"

No pets seen.

Takagi Wataru: "Ah, it's like this, I'm a police officer from the Investigation Division 1, and there are some things I want to know from you——"

"Wait a moment." Nakaya Tomoya gently picked up the puppy in front of him, "I'll take this child to its owner first."

"Oh, okay." Looking at the weak appearance of the puppy, Takagi Shigeru subconsciously nodded in agreement, and his body slightly moved away from the door.

However, what Takagi Shigeru did not expect was that the pet doctor, who was gentle in the previous second, threw the puppy in his arms at him without hesitation in the next second and rushed out.

Takagi Shigeru could have actually dodged it, but he thought that the puppy might be in great pain if hit like this, so he hesitated for a moment before dodging and finally opened his arms to hug the flying puppy.

It was precisely because of this action of his that Nakaya Tomoya nimbly slipped through the gap next to him and ran out in big strides.

But before he could run far, a curly-haired man wearing sunglasses rushed out, knocked him to the ground, and pinned him down so hard that he could not move.

"Ahh——" Nakaya Tomoya screamed, immediately attracting the attention of the people around him.

So, the scene just now happened.

Takagi Wataru lowered his head, soothing the trembling puppy in his arms while apologizing: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Shiratori Renzaburo glanced at the puppy in Takagi Wataru's arms and could more or less guess what had happened. His expression eased slightly, but he still said seriously, "Be careful next time. No matter what, your own life is more important."

Fortunately, the criminal just wanted to escape and had no intention of attacking anyone else.

Otherwise it would be terrible.

Takagi Wataru nodded quickly: "I understand, Inspector Shiratori, I won't do it again next time."

On the other side, Miwako Sato handcuffed Tomoya Nakaya's hands, and Jinpei Matsuda directly picked him up from the ground and walked towards the two people here.

Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses and said, "The criminal walked into our trap himself. This fight wasn't in vain."

Sato Miwako handed the gun to Shiratori Renzaburo. "This pistol model is not under regulation, and it has been modified. It is definitely illegal to carry a gun. This will make it easier for us to interrogate you."

Originally, he was just cooperating with the investigation on a voluntary basis, but now... he can be taken away directly to the small dark room for interrogation, which is much easier than listening to his nonsense here.

Shiratori Renzaburo also put on gloves to check it, then put the thing into the evidence bag: "Not bad, and judging by his reaction, we should have found the right person."

The autopsy report of Hase Jin that year was deliberately falsified by Tomoya Nakaya.

Many people in the pet hospital were still in a daze, and the four-member team did not plan to stay any longer and prepared to take their people away.

As Matsuda Jinpei stuffed the people into the car, he looked at Takagi Wataru with a dark face and said, "You kid, be smarter next time."

Takagi Wataru was too embarrassed to raise his head: "I know."

Sato Miwako also patted Takagi Wataru's shoulder: "Okay, Shiratori has already talked about him just now, he will remember it in the future."

Jinpei Matsuda pushed his sunglasses up and snorted.

Haha, a woman who protects her own shortcomings.

"Well, please wait."

At this time, a woman holding a puppy came over and called them.
