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

"Someone came out——"

The gate of the Metropolitan Police Department was now crowded with people. Everyone was holding cameras, craning their necks, and trying hard to squeeze forward, fearing that they would be a step late and miss out on the first-hand information.

However, to their disappointment, the person who came out was not Nishizaki Shōaki whom they were waiting for, but Maori Kogoro and his group.

Seeing the reporters surrounding him, Maori Kogoro was still confused. He scratched his head and looked bewildered: "Am I so famous now?"

He just stayed overnight at the Metropolitan Police Department, but why was everyone so enthusiastic and concerned about his condition...

Conan was embarrassed. He had a bad feeling and immediately grabbed Ran Mouri's hand. He quickly dodged to the side while Kogoro Mouri was still gloating over himself.

Sure enough, the next moment, Maori Kogoro was surrounded by enthusiastic reporters and media——

"It's Mr. Maori Kogoro!"

"Mr. Maori, what do you think of the Xingyao Entertainment 'Petri Dish Incident'?"

"Mr. Maori, are you leaving the Metropolitan Police Department now because you're involved in the investigation of the Nishizaki family murder case?"

"Mr. Maori, can you tell us some inside information?"

"Mr. Maori——"

Before Kogoro Mouri could react, he was completely swallowed up by the crowd.

Looking at Uncle Maori being swallowed by the crowd, Conan broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I ran fast. If I were caught by those guys, it would be really terrifying.

Mao Lilan was a little worried at first, but seeing this huge sea of ​​people, she could only stand aside and watch helplessly.

Fortunately, a group of police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department quickly rushed out, separated the reporters, and rescued the bewildered Kogoro Mouri.

"What's going on? It's been so long, and you police officers haven't said anything? We've all been waiting."

A reporter shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, what are the police going to do about Xingyao Entertainment and Xiqi Group? Can you please stop pretending to be dead?"

"Is this how you treat us with our taxpayers' money?"

Just when everyone was dissatisfied, a man walked out from the main gate.

"It's Nishizaki Shuaki!"

As a sound rang out, flashlights began to pop up all around, and people were taking pictures in the direction of Nishizaki Zhouming. Then the people behind him squeezed forward even more excitedly, trying to get closer.

"Mr. Nishizaki, do you have any explanation for what happened to the Nishizaki family?"

"Mr. Nishizaki, how much do you know about Xingyao Entertainment's underground transactions?"

"Mr. Nishizaki, are you hiding in the Metropolitan Police Department because you feel guilty?"

"Mr. Nishizaki——"

A barrage of questions rushed towards the man, but Xi Qi Zhou Ming remained calm, with only a hint of moisture in his eyes. "Sorry, please be quiet for a moment."

After hearing his words, the scene suddenly became quiet, leaving only the noisy sound of shutter clicks.

"If you have well-informed friends, you should know that my relationship with the Nishizaki family is not good."

Facing one of the cameras, Xi Qi Zhou Ming said sincerely, "To be honest, I only just learned about Mr. Xi Qi's passing. And I also just found out about the Xingyao Entertainment news that everyone is curious about."

As he finished speaking, the scene became a little agitated, and some straightforward reporters secretly curled their lips.

This kind of rhetoric may be enough to fool the public, but everyone here is an insider, and everyone has seen it before.

"I know that many people may not believe that I am innocent, and I am not speaking out to avoid criticism. I just hope that everyone can give me a little more time to understand the situation clearly so that I can give everyone an accurate answer."

Xi Qi Zhou Ming seemed to be aware of everyone's distrust and continued, "I also hope that this matter can have a satisfactory resolution for everyone. However, I don't have a say in Xi Qi Group or even Xingyao Entertainment. At present, I don't know who will take over these matters. Next, we need to deal with Mr. Xi Qi's funeral. Please be patient."

Things had come to this point, and many people didn't know what to say anymore. A car with the Special Investigation Department's logo on it came out of the gate, and Nishizaki Zhouming got in the car. The car slowly drove away from the scene while surrounded by everyone.

Maori Kogoro and his group reunited and watched the car leave the scene. Maori Kogoro touched his chin in amazement: "So this guy is also from the Nishizaki family. Yesterday I saw him blocking Inspector Megure and his team from conducting an investigation."

Conan held his chin up in his hand and said, "This guy is more difficult to deal with than anyone else in the Nishizaki family."

Maori Kogoro subconsciously replied: "That's right..."

Then he reacted and knocked Conan on the head: "Stinky boy, we have nothing to do now! Go back and catch up on your sleep!"

Conan cried out in pain, then followed the Maori father and daughter back.

And Nishizaki Zhouming's behavior quickly fermented on the Internet.

Since Nishizaki Shōaki never spoke on behalf of the Nishizaki family, many people actually didn't know him, but soon "insiders" began to popularize Nishizaki Shōaki's personal resume.

Thanks to Taro Nishizaki's dislike for Shōmei Nishizaki and Shōmei Nishizaki's face-saving projects over the years, his relationship with the Nishizaki family is very distant, and he does not rely on his family's fame to live. He has also been very famous in the Special Investigation Department in recent years, taking over many important cases. He has a very good reputation in the circle, and many people are willing to speak for him.

[Looking at it this way, Nishizaki Zhouming is quite pitiful. He has never enjoyed the treatment of the Nishizaki family, but has to be implicated by the Nishizaki family.]

[Yes, and he was already thriving in his career. If it were me, I would definitely not go back and get involved with those people.]

[He's a prime example of how good bamboo shoots can grow out of bad bamboo. Nishizaki Zhouming shouldn't be put together with the Nishizaki family.]

Mr. Nishizaki has been working tirelessly for his career for years. He's single, unmarried, and childless. He might have been able to move up in the future, but it's a shame that, with such a complicated and tragic life story, he's been dragged down by the Nishizaki family...

hospital.

"Ahh, so angry." The system screamed, "Why was Xi Qi Zhou Ming able to clear himself? Are those who spoke up for him fools? Can't they see that Xi Qi Zhou Ming is deliberately whitewashing himself? It's so stupid."

“This is normal.”

Bai Chuanqiu said indifferently, "Nishizaki Zhouming has always been kicked out of the Nishizaki family's circle. He is never involved in anything, and he himself is also intentionally or unintentionally dividing the Nishizaki family. So even if the Nishizaki family is in trouble, he will not necessarily be in trouble."

The system was amazed: "They are indeed a family. The Xiqi Group split up Linlu Construction and Xingyao Entertainment ahead of time, while Xiqi Zhouming split up the Xiqi family ahead of time. This family's thinking is exactly the same!"

This is simply outrageous!

Does this work too?

"What should we do, host?" The system began to get anxious again.

Their only enemy now is Xi Qi Zhou Ming, but Xi Qi Zhou Ming himself is too difficult to deal with.

What the Nishizaki family did had nothing to do with Nishizaki Zhouming.

The guilt of the Nishizaki family has nothing to do with Nishizaki Zhouming.

There is nothing worthy of criticism about Nishizaki Shōaki himself. He has created a very good image of himself, and even the people in the Special Investigation Department respect him very much.

He has indeed handled many cases for the Special Investigation Department over the years, and his reputation is exceptionally good. Apart from the indelible blood stain of being an illegitimate child, there are almost no loopholes in his case.

"What else can we do?"

Baichuan Qiu lowered his eyes and pulled out a piece of paper with the password of Nishizaki Yuki's safe from a book next to him. He said in a complicated tone:

"Of course he has to pay the price for what he did—"
