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

However, just as Takagi Shigeru was forcibly pulling Tian Jiangzhi out, another group of people suddenly appeared.

"It's more lively here than I thought."

Nishizaki Zhouming walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, followed by several prosecutors.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over when they heard the sound.

Megure Jusan narrowed his eyes. "Special Investigation Department? This case doesn't seem to involve you at the moment, does it?"

Xi Qi Zhou Ming stopped and said calmly: "I just heard about the Xi Qi family, so I came to see, is there any problem?"

Megure Jusan knew the man named "Nishizaki," but since no one else came forward to claim his identity, he assumed he had no connection to the Nishizaki family. "This case has been assigned to our Investigation Division 1. The rest of you should leave and don't interfere with our work."

"No." Nishizaki Zhouming still had a smile on his face, not seeming angry or sad at all. "I just took a quick look at this case, and it's very similar to the Windru case from back then. Maybe it's a sequel to the Windru case. As one of the people in charge back then, I naturally wanted to come and take a look."

Megure Jusan chuckled, "The prosecutor is quite well-informed."

Nishizaki Zhouming didn't care: "Thank you for the compliment."

While they were confronting each other, Takagi Wataru received a hint from Megure Jusan, quietly walked to the other side, and began to carefully search the bookcases in the study, hoping to find more evidence before the Special Investigation Department came to make trouble.

He first came to a bookcase and carefully observed the layout on it.

This is a bookcase that looks a bit old. It is about two meters high and about one and a half meters wide. It is made entirely of solid wood and is coated with a layer of dark red lacquer. It looks particularly luxurious and low-key.

The bookshelf is filled with all kinds of things, including books, some collections, and below are some rarely used materials and documents.

This location is not the deepest part of the study, but it is the most remote angle in the study. If someone stands at the door of the study and looks inside, the location of this bookcase will be the only place that cannot be seen at a glance.

Of course, this is nothing.

Takagi Wataru's eyes fell on the pile of documents below.

Judging from the few characters vaguely revealed above, it should be a relevant company document from recent times.

Although the document placed in this location shouldn't be important, out of the desire to find clues, he still bent down to take a look.

"This cabinet doesn't quite match the overall layout of the space."

Suddenly a deep voice came from behind him.

Takagi Shigeru turned his head unexpectedly and was first met with a pair of narrow fox eyes.

——He is a prosecutor from the Special Investigation Department.

He was a little surprised why the prosecutor suddenly spoke to him, but his mind had already shifted to what the other party was saying. "Why do you say that?"

The fox-eyed prosecutor raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming quite dissatisfied with their investigative efficiency. "I observed on the way here that the room between the first and second floors is half a meter taller, and the study is also shorter than the other rooms. Don't you find it strange?"

Takagi Wataru was speechless.

He really didn't notice this detail.

"Judging from the layout of the villa's rooms, Nishizaki Yuuki probably isn't a tea lover. The tea room on the outside of the first floor is quite plain, and the tea leaves and utensils inside are rarely used. Furthermore, the tea room is located in a remote area, clearly just a 'decoration'."

As Takagi Shigeru listened to the other party's analysis, he became even more surprised.

As for the teahouse? Since there wasn't anything special about it, the police basically didn't pay much attention to it.

I didn't expect that the other party was so perceptive just passing by?

"Have you been here before?" Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but ask.

The man with fox eyes looked at him in surprise: "Of course not."

"And what I want to say is that if Nishizaki Yuuki didn't like drinking tea, he probably wouldn't have placed such a tea set in his study."

He raised his chin slightly and motioned Takagi Wataru to look at the tea set on the cabinet over there.

The tea set looked quite ordinary, neither an antique nor a valuable collection. If it was just displayed to save face, it would not be appropriate and would be a bit embarrassing. But if it was just displayed for use, that was also impossible because Nishizaki Yuuki did not like drinking tea.

What is even more contradictory is that the bottom of the teapot in this set of tea sets is severely worn, which clearly shows how frequently the owner uses it.

However, none of the police officers who inspected the scene noticed this contradictory and obvious point.

Takagi Wataru scratched his head: "Thank you for the reminder."

However, the other party said nothing and just turned and left.

Takagi Shigeru wanted to call him, but the other person disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What a strange person..."

Gao Mushi muttered to himself, then stretched his head to study the bookshelf carefully. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pressed down a few teacups on the tea set and twisted the teapot back and forth.

"Click——"

Originally, Megure Jusan was still talking to Nishizaki Shōmei, when suddenly a dull sound was heard beside them. Everyone stopped and turned to see what was going on.

Takagi Shigeru was standing stupidly in front of the bookcase, but the bookcase in front of him had already retreated into the wall, revealing the truly important safe behind it.

The only surprising thing was that the safe in front of them was half-closed.

In other words, this safe had been opened by someone else long before they arrived, or Nishizaki Yuuki himself did not close it tightly.

But is this possible?

"Takagi, good job!" Megure Jusan strode forward. Takagi Wataru turned sideways, not intending to take credit. "Inspector Megure, this is not something I discovered..."

However, this major discovery has attracted the attention of others, and Takagi's explanation has become less important.

Megure Jusan put on gloves and opened the safe. He found folders and some gold bars neatly arranged inside, with several USB flash drives and phone cards next to them.

On the outermost side, there are even a few very good models of pistols.

Judging from the appearance, it is not certain whether anyone has moved anything here beforehand.

Megure Jusan glanced at the weapons with a serious expression and reached out to take the USB flash drive on them, but was stopped by Nishizaki Shōmei.

"If possible, it would be more professional if we were in charge of this area, right?" Nishizaki Zhouming said softly, "You guys can just handle the murder case."

Megure Jusan: "Since you are in charge of the murder case, I have reason to suspect that the things in here are related to our murder case."

Nishizaki Zhouming: "This case may be related to the Windru case from that year. We definitely need to investigate it thoroughly."

For a moment, both sides held their own opinions and were deadlocked.

But soon, the leader that Megure Jusan called arrived.

Kuroda Bei followed the young police officer over, his eyes coldly sweeping over Nishizaki Zhouming, and his voice calmly said, "Since our Metropolitan Police Department was the first to come to this case, shouldn't we follow the principle of first come first served?"

Xi Qi Zhou Ming looked at him with a slightly cold expression: "Who are you?"

"Kuroda Heibei, the manager of the Investigation Division 1."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming crossed his arms and said, "Oh, since you are the manager, you should also know that many cases are not based on a first-come, first-served basis. There must also be a cooperative division of labor."

"But we've already uncovered some suspicious points in the Windru case, proving your investigation wasn't perfect." Kuroda Heibei sneered. "The higher-ups aren't very satisfied with your Special Investigation Department right now. I think you should consult with them first."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming's face darkened slightly.
