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

After dinner, Ida Hang was worried about his lover at home, so he said goodbye to everyone in advance and left first.

After Date Kou left, Matsuda Jinpei finally became serious and told Shirakawa Kiyoshi what Tokita Ryozo said before his death.

"It seems that the guy who wants to harm Shirakawa Akane is hiding in the Investigation Division." Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin and thought.

Baichuan Qiu just flashed his eyes and didn't respond.

Just a search? No, what they did before was definitely not something that could be done with just a small search.

The other party is most likely just a pawn.

Baichuan Qiu sighed inwardly.

Original owner, original owner, you have left such a huge mess for me.

"It's such a shame, though." Matsuda Jinpei still felt very sorry, and at the same time a little angry. "I suspect he left his words unfinished on purpose to make us feel uncomfortable."

I should have beaten him up earlier.

Baichuanqiu: "...next time you encounter danger like this, it's better to prioritize safety. Never take risks. The truth is out there, and you'll know it one day. There's no need to rush."

Matsuda Jinpei also met Hagiwara Kenji's disapproving gaze and chuckled, "I know my limits. The situation is urgent, so I can only handle it with the utmost care."

"But I find his last words quite interesting," Hagiwara said. "'If it hadn't been that person back then, Old Ka...' When did this 'back then' refer to? And who was this 'Old Ka'?"

Shirakawa Akane's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his expression cryptic. "First, considering his identity and the situation, what he was talking about at that time was definitely related to the person behind the scenes. And when he said this to Matsuda and Officer Shiratori, who were present, did it mean that he was adding weight to what he knew?"

Ryozo Tokita believed that as long as he had enough chips in his hand, Matsuda and the others would definitely rescue him.

Therefore, this matter is definitely the most fatal secret of "that person", and Matsuda Jinpei and Shiratori Jinsaburo will definitely be very interested.

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes flickered. "This 'Old Ka' might be referring to another person in the Investigation Division! This guy did something to 'Old Ka' back then, and Tsuneta Ryozo was involved, so he felt that this matter was absolutely necessary for us to use as a bargaining chip to save him!"

Shirakawa Tsutomu agreed. "I think so too. And judging by what Tokita Ryouzo said, and the brutality of the person behind this, I think the ending of this 'old Ka' will most likely be... a bit tragic."

Hagiwara Kenji pondered, "The police officer from the First Investigation Division—according to what he said, his position must be quite high, definitely not an ordinary police officer. His ending wasn't good—perhaps he died or left the job. Also, the last case this person came into contact with definitely involved Tokita Ryozo... This is a new clue!"

Based on the information they deduced, and by comparing it with the cases that occurred in the Investigation Division in recent years and the police officers, they can definitely lock on to this "Old Ka"!

As long as they grasp the clue of "Old Ka" and work backwards to find the guy who harmed "Old Ka", they will be able to find out the mastermind behind the targeting of Shirakawa Qiu!

Matsuda Jinpei clenched his fists, his eyes filled with interest and fighting spirit. "Great, things are getting more and more interesting. I want to see what kind of monsters and demons are in this big melting pot of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Hagiwara Kenji frowned: "But you just joined the Investigation Division. If you investigate this matter directly, won't it attract that guy's attention?"

After all, as long as they pay attention, the other party will definitely know that Matsuda is a classmate and good friend of Koshirakawa, and they will definitely be on guard against Matsuda at that time.

Bai Chuanqiu also nodded: "Yes, according to the current situation, the enemy knows us too well. I am worried that if you take any action to investigate, you will definitely get into trouble."

Jinpei Matsuda wanted to say that he was not afraid of these things, but when he met the disapproving looks of Shirakawa Akira and Hagiwara Kenji, he had to hold it back.

This was also the reason they hadn't told the squad leader. The squad leader now had a family to support, and his wife was pregnant, so they really didn't want him to be involved in this matter, lest something irreversible happen.

This road is destined to be dangerous.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Let's wait for the results of the police investigation. Maybe there will be a turning point later." Shirakawa Akane finally said with a smile, "Tsuneta Ryozo has been a detective for many years. Maybe he's hiding some evidence. What if the police accidentally discover it?"

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes lit up, and he drank the juice in the can in one gulp. He stood up and started to go outside. "That makes sense. I have to go keep an eye on it. It's getting late. Shirakawa, you should get some rest first."

Baichuan Qiu: "..." There's no need to be so proactive.

Hagiwara Kenji also stood up: "Then Xiao Zhenping and I will go back first, and you should also pay attention to your safety recently."

He paused, and his peach blossom eyes, which had originally been smiling, took on a serious look. "Baichuan, I know you always have your own ideas and plans for many things, but I hope you won't fight alone. Matsuda and I will always stand by you."

Baichuan Qiu was stunned for a moment.

Hagiwara...did he guess something?

"Don't take risks next time." The young man with half-long hair winked slightly, his voice raised, sounding very teasing, but his words contained many complex emotions, "I owe you a life, and I haven't paid it back yet."

This refers to the bombing incident seven years ago.

Shirakawa Akira was astonished at Hagiwara Kenji's powerful insight, but restrained himself and looked away: "That's what I should pay back."

If it weren't for them, he would have died in the hospital.

"Hmm, Shirakawa-chan, let's get back to the basics." Hagiwara Kenji wiggled his fingers and chuckled. "You give me yours, and I give me mine—we're destined to keep tangling like this forever~"

Baichuan Qiu: "..."

He laughed and held his forehead.

As expected of Kenji Hagiwara.

"If I need anything, I will naturally ask for your help." The white-haired young man finally raised his eyes, his golden pupils tinged with a little glimmer, "Hagiwara, thank you."

The young man's face was still pale, but his eyes reflected the figure with a soft light, making him look weak and well-behaved.

Although Hagiwara Kenji knew that Shirakawa was never weak and could protect himself, when he saw this scene, he still reached out his hand softly and rubbed the young man's head.

"You're welcome."

"Of course..." Shirakawa added with a chuckle, "Hagiwara, it would be even better if you could use your teasing skills to find a girlfriend."

Hagihara Kenji: "..."

Some people have high emotional intelligence, strong social skills, and are very popular with women.

But often such people end up being lonely.

——Because he has high emotional intelligence, strong social skills and is very popular with women.

Hagiwara Kenji gnashed his teeth and tore at Shirakawa Akane's hair, then turned and walked out: "Go to bed early."

Every time, the touching atmosphere that was hard-earned is gone.

Baichuan Qiu, with a messy head of hair: "..."

The door of the apartment was closed and the room fell into silence again. The young man on the chair blinked, scratched his messy hair, and suddenly burst out laughing.

——They are really... really nice people.
