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

When Shirakawa Akane returned to Poirot Café, the Mori father and daughter and Hattori Heiji were still sitting there.

Conan and Amuro Toru are nowhere to be seen.

Baichuan Qiu was a little surprised.

It seems that Furuya really took his words to heart and called Conan away alone, preventing Conan and Hattori Heiji from appearing in front of him at the same time.

Baichuan Qiu was slightly touched.

It's really comforting to be able to have the other party believe your reasons, no matter how outrageous they are.

"Manager, are you okay?" Enomoto Azusa asked with concern when she saw Shirakawa Akane coming back from the kitchen.

"I'm fine, sorry for scaring you." Shirakawa Akane smiled at Enomoto Azusa.

Hattori Heiji also looked over, but his eyes were more scrutinizing: "Mr. Shirakawa, what happened to you just now..."

"I'm sorry, I scared you guys just now." Bai Chuanqiu apologized shyly and bowed to them. "I haven't been in a good mental state recently. I was just venting my emotions just now. I'm very sorry."

Hattori Heiji looked at him suspiciously, but didn't say anything. Toyama Kazuha cast a curious look at him, but naturally didn't mind what had just happened.

Maori Kogoro scratched his head, not angry, but curious: "Shirakawa-kun, have you been under a lot of pressure recently? I often saw you not in a good state before."

Shirakawa Akane was ashamed.

Because Conan often comes to him to buy things, Maori and his friends are no longer surprised by Shirakawa Yu's sudden "hehe" laughter from time to time. Instead, they begin to worry about Shirakawa Yu's mental state.

Mao Lilan was also worried: "Mr. Shirakawa, you should relax your nerves. I always feel that you are too tense, which will make you very tired."

Baichuan Qiu softened his brows and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you..."

I have to say, Maori's family are all very gentle and kind people! Even when they saw his ferocious appearance, they were the first to worry about his mental state...

Wow, it was really embarrassing just now.

Hattori Heiji snapped his fingers and suggested, "Why don't you go out with us, Mr. Shirakawa? It will be more lively with more people."

Shirakawa Qiu: "Huh?"

Hattori Heiji's proposal was completely unexpected by Shirakawa Akane.

But it was obvious that Hattori Heiji's suggestion made Maori Kogoro clap his hands vigorously and agree loudly: "Yes, this is a good opportunity to let Shirakawa go out and relax. Let's go and cheer for this kid Hattori."

Mao Lilan also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this should make Mr. Shirakawa feel more relaxed."

Hattori Heiji patted the bag on his back and said to the dumbfounded Shirakawa Qiu with a smile: "Mr. Shirakawa was just chatting with me about kendo. I'm going to participate in a competition this time and travel at the same time. Mr. Shirakawa, come with me!"

Wait, wait, what's going on? They're asking me to go on a long journey with a bunch of detectives? Doesn't that mean I have to be constantly prepared for the possibility of a dark turn and social demise in the days ahead?

Bai Chuanqiu's smile was about to fade away: "Uh, I think I'd better forget it..."

"No." Hattori Heiji was very enthusiastic. "This time, Matsuura Island is a very special place. If Mr. Shirakawa had heard of it, he would definitely be very interested."

Shirakawa Qiu wanted to continue to refuse, but the special name "Matsuura Island" made him stop refusing.

Matsuura Island?

Isn’t this the island that Zhufu went to?

Baichuanqiu opened his eyes wide and asked tentatively, "Could it be that small island that is said to only open once every three years?"

Hattori Heiji nodded: "Yes, yes, it seems that Mr. Shirakawa has also heard about the things on this island."

The small island is located in the ocean south of Sakura Island. Because it is surrounded by the sea and has a remote geographical location, the entire island is relatively independent and is not open to the public all year round, so very few people in China have heard of it.

Suddenly, Baichuan Qiu couldn't sit still anymore.

Are Conan and the others going to that island too?

It’s over. Based on the configurations we see now, isn’t this a definite theatrical version?

But why don’t I have the slightest impression of it?

The system promptly explained: "Host, it may be due to the butterfly effect. Because your existence has affected the fate of Zhu Fu Jingguang and others, things that would not have happened originally may happen due to the influence of the plot."

Shirakawa Qiu took a breath.

Wouldn't that be an event outside of the original plot?

——This is troublesome.

Hattori Heiji continued, "I don't think Mr. Shirakawa knows this, but the people on this island are incredibly obsessed with kendo, to the point where practically everyone practices it. The rule of opening the island once every three years is solely for the purpose of exchanging swordsmanship with kendo enthusiasts from other places."

"So every time this happens, kendo enthusiasts from all over the country, and even from other countries, come here to exchange ideas and compete with each other to compete for the championship."

To put it bluntly, the people on this island are somewhat similar to the hermits in China. They usually live in seclusion on the island and do not enter the secular world. However, a kendo competition is held every three years to exchange swordsmanship. Many people who learn kendo will participate to compete and see who is the most powerful master.

Of course, this is just a niche competition and not many people know about it. Hattori Heiji only found out about it by accident.

Shirakawa Akane was slightly surprised when he heard Hattori Heiji's explanation.

He really didn't know this.

At first glance, it sounds a bit like the Chinese cultivation of immortals.

But of course, these are all fictional, but the island is real.

Shirakawa Akane was really intrigued by Hattori Heiji.

Damn, that’s swordsmanship!

With such a big scene, maybe I can take advantage of the situation and learn a few skills - and the most important thing is that Zhu Fu Jingguang is also there!

If only Morifushi Kagemitsu went up, Shirakawa Akira wouldn't be so worried, but Conan will also go to the island. Maybe something bad will happen in this competition. What if Morifushi Kagemitsu is also affected?

I don’t know how Zhu Fu is doing now... If he could go to the island with me, maybe he could help him!

only--

Shirakawa Qiu's gaze swept across Hattori Heiji, then looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes full of struggle.

If he went along, it would mean he would have to stay with Conan, Hattori Heiji and the others.

But my God, how can he live like this!

If nothing unexpected happens, Conan and the others will see: the usually gentle and polite Shirakawa store manager, with sharp and evil shark teeth in his mouth, holding a knife and laughing strangely, and then staring deeply at every "victim" who passes by, his eyes full of desire for killing -

Help! If he were Conan, he would want to call the police!

How does this go along?

However, Hattori Heiji's words were agreed by everyone present. Even Enomoto Azusa nodded and advised, "Yes, Manager, there's nothing going on in the store recently. Amuro-kun and I can look after the store together. You can go out and travel with Mr. Mori and the others and relax."

Baichuanqiu: "Xiaozi——"

How come you rebelled too!

The main reason was that Azusa Enomoto and Shirakawa Akane had known each other for the longest time. Sometimes she noticed some of Shirakawa Akane's strange behavior, but because of the store manager's face, she never pointed it out.

For example, on a quiet afternoon, the Mori family was sitting in a shop drinking afternoon tea. After washing the fruit, Azusa Enomoto wanted to grab a fruit knife, but she found that their shop manager was holding a knife at the moment, looking at a customer in the cafe with a serious expression, and said confidently: "Ah, he actually made noises when eating? Damn it!"

Azusa Enomoto: "?"

For example, one morning when the store had just opened, Azusa Enomoto was cleaning the door of the store and met Conan going to school with his schoolbag on his back.

"Good morning, Conan!" "Good morning, Sister Xiaozi."

The two exchanged friendly greetings, and as Azusa Enomoto was walking back with her broom in hand, she saw the store manager crouching in front of the window, staring fiercely at the passing cars outside: "Honk your horn so early in the morning? Damn it! You deserve to be killed—"

Azusa Enomoto: "?"
