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

At Teitan Elementary School, the children of the Junior Detective League were chatting and laughing as they walked out of the school together, carrying their small schoolbags.

"Conan~"

Shirakawa Qiu waved and called Conan.

Conan saw Shirakawa Akane and Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was wearing a mask and a hat beside him, and his eyes lit up. He said hello to the other children and ran over happily: "Mr. Shirakawa, Mr. Morobushi, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, there are some things." Baichuan Qiu rubbed Conan's head with a smile, "Let's go, take us to meet your parents."

Conan was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced at Zhu Fujingguang next to him: "Meet... my parents?"

"The one next to Dr. Agasa's house."

Baichuanqiu reminded gently.

Conan:! ! !

Isn't that his home?

and so--

Conan stiffened his neck and looked at Zhu Fujingguang. Zhu Fujingguang nodded slightly and greeted him in a low voice: "There are some things I need to discuss with you and your family——"

"Kudo-kun."

……

Although he was shocked, Conan was not panicked because he had known Mr. Morobushi for some time. Instead, he felt relieved, as if a heavy burden was finally being lifted at this moment.

He glanced at Bai Chuanqiu, who immediately spread his hands in defense: "He found out on his own, I didn't leak the secret."

Conan smiled helplessly: "I know Mr. Shirakawa will help me keep the secret."

So he also believed that Mr. Zhufu would not reveal his identity easily.

"Let's go." Conan took the initiative to move forward. "It just so happens that we have something to do. We have indeed encountered a bottleneck and need the help of the public security-"

When they arrived at the Kudo residence, the Kudo couple didn't seem surprised by their arrival and were even prepared for a conversation.

But this time, Baichuan Qiu did not take the initiative to participate in the conversation.

Several people entered the study together, while Shirakawa Akane stood in the small garden of Kudo's house, leisurely fiddling with the flowers and plants beside him.

Curious Baby System came online again: "Host, now that Conan's identity is half exposed, it seems that there is nothing else we can do."

Ever since the demise of the Nishizaki family, the grudges of the Shirakawa family have come to an end. Now Shirakawa Qiu seems to be doing nothing all day long, and the system is not quite sure what its host wants to do now.

Based on its understanding of the host, if the host didn't have something he wanted to do, he would definitely not have taken the initiative to follow Zhu Fu Jingguang here, but would have continued to mess around in the coffee shop from the beginning.

"How come we have nothing to do?" Bai Chuanqiu raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Aren't we preparing to survive the tribulation?"

system:"?"

What the hell—

"But you, can you please hurry up a little? The response to the complaint is really too slow." Baichuan Qiu directly changed the subject.

The system was immediately deflated.

Well, it didn't expect that the matter of the Nishizaki family was over, but there was still no reply from above.

It's simply too slow.

The system stopped talking, and Baichuan Qiu was happy to be at ease. He picked up the kettle beside him and watered the flowers and plants in front of him.

About twenty minutes later, Conan came out by himself.

But the expression on his face was not very good.

"Conan~"

Shirakawa Qiu waved, signaling Conan to come over.

Conan thought about it and walked over with heavy steps.

"Why do you look like that? Did the conversation go wrong?" Baichuanqiu asked casually.

"Ugh--"

Conan sighed, "The police want to help me apply for witness protection, but that means my identity may be known to more people, and I have to leave here."

If this is not done, the public security will not be able to help Conan find experts to conduct research and inspection, but Conan does not want to expose that Haibara Ai is Shirley, and they are already conducting antidote research, so the negotiations between the two sides have reached a deadlock.

Conan didn't tell all his troubles, but Shirakawa Qiu could guess roughly: "What do you think?"

"I don't want to leave here." Conan answered firmly.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the organization has been severely damaged by the Rum incident. If they continue to pursue the victory and capture Rum, and then get the detailed location of that gentleman from Rum, maybe that big guy will be eliminated soon!

How could Conan be willing to leave at this critical moment?

"So what do your parents think?"

Speaking of his parents, Conan felt a little relieved: "They also respect my choice, but Mr. Zhufu is the representative of the public security after all, so this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

After hearing what Conan said, Shirakawa Qiu fell into a long silence.

Conan looked up at Shirakawa Akane and felt that Mr. Shirakawa was actually the most mysterious person he had ever met.

Even Mr. Amuro, the double agent, didn't feel that strange, but Mr. Shirakawa...

"Conan, are you afraid of death?"

Baichuan Qiu suddenly asked this.

Conan was stunned.

He looked at Baichuan Qiu, seemingly thinking about the intention of Baichuan Qiu's question.

"Hmm?" Baichuan Qiu raised his eyebrows but did not explain.

"I'm not afraid either." Conan thought for a moment and answered very frankly, "I still have many things I want to do and people I can't let go of, but I can't give up the pursuit of the truth either."

As a detective, the road to pursuing the truth is bound to be bumpy. If you are afraid of danger or death, how can you find the light of truth from the fog?

People are inherently wavering between being afraid of death and not being afraid of death. The essence of human nature makes them fear death, but the brilliance of human nature can guide them not to fear death. This is something that is very difficult to define.

So Conan thinks that being afraid of death is not a shameful thing.

"What if it's because of the organization?"

This question was too targeted, so Conan didn't follow Shirakawa Qiu's beating around the bush and asked directly: "Mr. Shirakawa, have you thought of anything? Perhaps there is something you need me to do?"

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Baichuan Qiu would be here to discuss the philosophy of life and death with him.

"Ahem, alright." Bai Chuanqiu coughed lightly and got straight to the point. "Actually, I have a plan that might be able to catch Rum and the gentleman from the organization all at once."

"Huh? What plan?" Conan's eyes lit up.

The most important thing for them right now is to find the whereabouts of that gentleman!

But the only thing that worried Conan was that the gentleman was in a mobile underwater fortress! It could move at any time! There was a very high possibility that even if they caught Rum and successfully pried the gentleman's docking location from Rum's mouth, they might still come up empty-handed!

In this case, even if the other members of the organization are eliminated, as long as the master is not dead, they may still make a comeback!

This is not what Conan wants to see.

What he hoped for was a permanent solution.

And this is exactly the reason why Furuya Rei is still lurking beside Rum!

"I want to expose your identity, Kudo Shinichi." Shirakawa Qiu calmly dropped the bombshell, "Let Bourbon take you to the organization and hand you over to that gentleman!"

Conan opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"
