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

The two people who were originally chatting and laughing stopped at the same time.

Morimoto looked at the person in front of him and frowned slightly.

Why is he here?

Nishizaki Zhouming looked at the young man's hair and eyes, frowning slightly.

That familiar hair color always reminds him of that person——

Perhaps it was a congenital genetic mutation, or perhaps it was a special embellishment given by God, but everyone in the Shirakawa family was born with white hair, making them look like aliens.

This also meant that when Shirakawa Masanao first arrived at the Special Investigation Department, he received the same special treatment as Nishizaki Shōaki.

Because of their blood relationship, they are both regarded as outliers in the eyes of others, but Shirakawa Masanao is regarded as an outlier because of his white hair, while Nishizaki Zhouming is regarded as an outlier because of his illegitimate status.

It was also because of this reason that the two of them sympathized with each other and became partners.

Soon, Shirakawa Masanori proved his ability with his absolute talent and strength, and became the ace prosecutor of the Special Investigation Department.

Almost in the blink of an eye, no one dared to look down on Shirakawa Masanori anymore. Instead, they were all praising and complimenting him. And that distinctive white hair seemed to have become a unique symbol of Shirakawa Masanori. Everyone in the Special Investigation Department knew him.

And what about him?

He is "Shirakawa Masanao's partner", nothing more.

Even because he is "Shirakawa Masanao's partner", many people think that he is just lucky, has a strong supporter, and is able to reap the benefits from Shirakawa Masanao, and his own strength is actually just average.

Obviously he is good enough and talented enough, but under the bright moon, who is not a loser?

——Even second place is no exception.

This alone wiped out all his efforts.

It's ironic and ridiculous.

Nishizaki Zhouming recalled the shameful events of the past, and then looked at the young man who was somewhat similar to Shirakawa Masanori. He couldn't help but clench his fists secretly, and a fierce hatred rose in his eyes, which was quickly concealed by the reflection of his glasses.

"Why are you here? How did you get in?"

The first to break the silence was Morimoto Yui.

The fox-eyed man frowned slightly, looking disgusted. He asked in a cold voice, "Did you know this is the Special Investigation Department's parking lot? Who let you in?"

"I said I was a family member of a prosecutor, and the security guard at the door let me in directly."

When Shirakawa Qiu walked out of the shadows and found that Nishizaki Zhouming was paying special attention to his hair, he raised his eyebrows slightly and deliberately lowered his hood to reveal his short white hair.

Sure enough, Nishizaki Zhouming finally saw Baichuan Qiu's face clearly in the dim street light, and his breathing became disordered for a moment.

Morimoto Yui said: "This is really messed up!"

I don't know who this sentence is blaming.

Baichuan Qiu chuckled, looked at Morimoto Qiu, and spread his hands innocently: "Who knows? Maybe I look too much like someone, which brought back special memories for the security guard."

The security guard at the door was also retired from the Special Investigation Department. He usually liked to watch the prosecutors coming and going at the door. Among all the prosecutors coming and going, Shirakawa Masanao's white hair was undoubtedly the most conspicuous and impressive.

So when he saw Baichuan Qiu, the security guard looked at the slightly similar face and waved his hand to let the person in without much hesitation.

Otherwise, Shirakawa Qiu could have just waited at the gate.

Morimoto Yui: "They let strangers in without permission. Don't they know it will cause security risks? It seems like we should really remind management that anyone can enter the Special Investigation Department without permission."

Baichuan Qiu blinked: "But am I just anyone? Brother?"

Morimoto said coldly: "Don't call me brother——"

"Xiao Yu..." Xi Qi Zhou Ming interrupted him.

Morimoto Yui apologized to Nishizaki Zhouming: "I'm sorry, teacher, I will take him away immediately."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming stopped him: "He is your brother, why are you so fierce?"

Morimoto Yui: “But he——”

"Okay."

Nishizaki Zhouming patted Morimoto Qiu's shoulder soothingly, then looked at Baichuan Qiu with a smile: "You are Xiao Qiu, right? I often heard your father mention you before, and today I finally met you-"

Baichuan Qiu looked at Xi Qi Zhou Ming, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Hello, who are you?"

"Ah, my name is Nishizaki Zhouming, and I was your father's partner when he was alive."

Nishizaki Shuaki smiled and stretched out his hand.

Bai Chuanqiu glanced down and didn't shake hands. He just said expressionlessly: "Oh, since you know me, you should also know that I am sick, so I won't touch you to avoid infecting you."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming's smile froze, and then he withdrew his hand and said gently, "How could that be? As expected of Baichuan's children, they all like to joke like this."

Baichuan Qiu: "Well, I don't like to joke. It seems that I am not like him."

Nishizaki Shuaki: "..."

Morimoto Yu: "Speak nicely, don't be sarcastic."

Baichuan Qiu glanced at Morimoto Qiu: "Oh, so you can hear it. I thought I didn't show it obviously enough."

Morimoto: "..."

The system appropriately added a finishing blow in his mind: "Double kill——"

Bai Chuanqiu raised the corner of his mouth: "Why are you all silent? Are you speechless?"

Nishizaki Shuaki and Morimoto Kaori: "..."

Morimoto Yu: "What on earth are you doing here? Are you here just to cause trouble?"

Baichuanqiu: "Of course not, I just came here to take a look."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xi Qi Zhou Ming and he tilted his head slightly: "Mr. Xi Qi, is this the first time we meet?"

Hearing Baichuan Qiu's question, Nishizaki Zhouming responded perfectly: "Indeed, it's a pity that we didn't meet earlier. You are an interesting child."

Shirakawa Qiu smiled and said, "I see—I'm sorry too."

Then he turned sideways and gestured for the two of them to be at their leisure: "I'll just take a look, you guys continue."

Morimoto looked at him, trying to guess his purpose. "Are you just here to look around the Special Investigation Department parking lot?"

Shirakawa Qiu shrugged and said very shamelessly, "Yes, I'm a good citizen and I haven't broken any law. It's my freedom to walk wherever I want, right?"

Morimoto Yu didn't say anything else, but looked at Nishizaki Zhouming: "Teacher, let's just go, don't pay attention to him."

Nishizaki Zhouming didn't quite understand why this guy appeared here, but his intuition felt that something was wrong, so he politely nodded and said goodbye to Baichuan Qiu: "Goodbye."

The two walked around Baichuanqiu and sat in the car next to them.

The car window slowly rolled down, and Morimoto Yui took charge of driving, preparing to start the car and leave.

Shirakawa Qiu suddenly leaned on the passenger window and observed Nishizaki Zhouming closely.

Xi Qi Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously leaned back. Then a smile appeared on his face and he pushed up his glasses. "What's wrong? Xiao Qiu? Do you need us to give you a ride?"

"This isn't the first time we've met."

The white-haired young man said with certainty.

"I've definitely seen you."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile that had originally risen on his face slowly faded.

"Xiao Qiu, maybe you really should take some medicine."

Bai Chuanqiu chuckled softly: "You're right, I really should take medicine."

"After all, even you forgot about it. It seems that you are seriously ill."

This face, this voice… It was only in a photo before, and he didn't have that feeling. Only now, when he saw the real person, he was very sure that he had definitely seen the other person before—

Seven years ago, he must have met Nishizaki Zhouming somewhere.
