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

This case was not difficult and was quickly solved with Conan's secret help.

After listening to Imori Nagata's explanation, Shirakawa Qiu fell into silence for a long time.

Before Ju Senyongtai was taken to the police car, Baichuan Qiu couldn't help but walk over and said, "Excuse me, can I ask him a question?"

Looking at the handsome young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Takagi Wataru, who was escorting Morinagata, was stunned: "You are..."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shirakawa Akane. I'm the owner of the cafe downstairs from Mr. Mori's house. I'm also interested in reasoning." Shirakawa Akane introduced himself with a smile.

Here, Shirakawa Kiyotani deliberately mentioned Mori Kogoro, implying that Takagi Wataru had a good relationship with the Mori family.

"Ah, I saw you there just now. You came here with Xiaolan, right?" Takagi Wataru stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shirakawa Akane. "My name is Takagi Wataru. Since you know Mr. Mori and you like reasoning, go ahead and ask."

But... Shirakawa? It sounds familiar.

"Thank you."

Baichuan Qiu thanked him and looked at Imori Nagata.

Imori Nagata also looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise.

To be honest, it was rare for him to see such a good-looking young man, but he should have no connection with such a person. He had explained all the circumstances of the case clearly, and he didn't understand why the other party still had questions to ask him.

"Hello, Mr. Jusen." Shirakawa Qiu looked at the middle-aged man, his golden eyes sharp and serious. "I'm just a little curious, what were you thinking before you killed Towa Kuniyoshi?"

Ju Senyong was stunned for a moment.

...What were you thinking before killing someone?

In fact, what Baichuan Qiu wanted to ask more was whether he also felt driven by an inexplicable force and made the choice to kill uncontrollably.

Is he... also affected by the power of the plot?

Imorinaga was silent for a long time before he finally said, "I thought of my daughter, but she passed away half a month ago... and my lover died last week because he couldn't bear the blow."

Baichuan Qiu also fell silent.

"Maybe not today, but maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow... Rice flower is just this small. Next time we meet, I might still do the same." Ju Senyongtai chuckled, "People always have to blame something, otherwise they can only blame themselves."

"When I said I was possessed by the devil, I was actually trying to appease my conscience."

In fact, when he took the initiative to chat with Towa Kuniyoshi, he had already made the decision in his heart.

The middle-aged man's back was always hunched because he had been carrying heavy objects for many years, as if he could never straighten his back. After saying these words, he nodded to Shirakawa Qiu, and then took the initiative to follow Takagi Wataru into the police car.

Baichuan Qiu watched the police car leave with mixed feelings.

"They are different from you."

At this moment, the system started talking again.

"I was just thinking about the effect Conan had on them."

The system seemed to have heard a joke: "If the insurance company hadn't set a trap, Ju Senyongtai's daughter would have been able to get better treatment resources, and perhaps the tragedy would not have happened."

"Do you think Conan did this?"

Baichuan Qiu shook his head.

"Did Conan instigate him to kill?"

Baichuan Qiu still shook his head.

"They made their choice out of hatred. But you are not the original owner, you do not have hatred, so your special situation is the force of the plot to modify your soul from another world."

"As for the protagonist Conan—you can think of him as unlucky, becoming a witness to everyone's story." The system snorted coldly, "Instead of worrying about the fate of others, you might as well set a small goal first and successfully take the first blood."

Shirakawa-no-no black line.

As expected, he knew that the system was up to no good when it said this:

"So you said all that, just to get me to kill someone?"

System: "Host, you need to be more ambitious! Although I am here to help you succeed, if you keep lying down, I won't be able to continue cheering for your career."

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

I thought you were going to threaten me, but I didn't expect you to say such soft words.

hiss--

Such a soft persimmon, give it a squeeze.

Baichuan Qiu yawned lazily: "You make sense. I'd better go back and lie down first."

System: No, host! o(╥﹏╥)o

The next day, at the Poirot Café.

Shirakawa Qiu walked into the cafe just as it was officially opening hours.

"Good morning, Mr. Shirakawa."

Azusa Enomoto was preparing hot water. When she heard the sound, she looked up and greeted him.

"Good morning, Ms. Enomoto."

The white-haired young man tilted his head slightly, a smile on his face: "I'm really sorry for scaring you yesterday."

After he fell yesterday, Azusa Enomoto also came out to help, but because the cafe needed someone to stay, she did not go to the hospital with him.

"Mr. Shirakawa, I'm glad you're alright." Enomoto Azusa stood in front of the coffee machine with a smile on her face. "Mr. Shirakawa, would you like something to drink?"

"A cup of warm water will do." Baichuanqiu said.

"Ok."

Azusa Enomoto took out a glass, poured warm water into it and pushed it in front of Shirakawa Akane.

"Thank you."

Shirakawa Akane took a sip and chatted with Enomoto Azusa: "Ms. Enomoto, how long have you been working here?"

"I came here last June, so it's been exactly one year now."

Azusa Enomoto is a very energetic woman with a good temper. She speaks softly and her topics are never dull. Shirakawa Akane chatted with Azusa Enomoto for a while and felt that her corpse spots had faded a little.

Ah, whenever I see someone who is youthful and energetic, I feel refreshed.

"Ding--"

The door of the cafe was pushed open again.

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

——It was the particularly annoying Mitsuo Ueshita from yesterday.

Azusa Enomoto whispered in Shirakawa Akane's ear, "Mr. Ueshita seems to have had some problems at work recently, so he's been in a bad mood and often causes trouble for the shops near us."

Baichuan Qiu frowned.

It turns out that this is not the first time. Mitsuo Ueshita often vents his work troubles on the nearby store clerks, and is notorious on this street.

"Go to the kitchen and prepare some fruit." Shirakawa Akatsuki patted Enomoto Azusa, "I'll come meet him."

Azusa Enomoto hesitated: "But he..."

The store manager is very gentle and doesn't look like someone who can deal with Mitsuo Ueshita.

Azusa Enomoto considers herself to be quite gentle, but if someone really dares to annoy her, she will fight back without hesitation.

Before, because of her relationship with the previous store manager, she was too embarrassed to offend him directly, but now that the new store manager has taken office, she is even less afraid of him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Baichuan Qiu smiled and pushed the person into the kitchen, then walked behind the cashier counter.

"Good morning sir, what would you like to drink?"

Mitsuo Ueshita looked very down today. He glanced at the menu and said, "An iced Americano, with lots of ice, the more the better."

"Adding too much ice will dilute the taste, are you sure sir?"

"Hurry up, do it quickly." Mitsuo Ueshita waved his hand and sat down at the bar.

Bai Chuanqiu's smile remained unchanged. "Sir, I just want to confirm with you that adding too much ice will affect the quality and taste of the coffee. We can't guarantee this. Are you sure?"

"Just do it when I tell you to! Why are you asking so many questions? If it affects the taste, it's definitely your fault. Find a way to fix it yourself! If you had the time, you would have already done it."

Ueshita Mitsuo immediately slammed the table and glared angrily.

Baichuan Qiu's smile faded a lot.

We had a fight about this just yesterday, and now it's like this again.

He knew that this guy was looking for trouble again.

Hearing the sound, Azusa Enomoto ran out to look around with some worry.

Shirakawa Akane waved his hand and told Enomoto Azusa to go back and do her own thing.
