When Matsuda Jinpei returned home, the figure who usually sat on the sofa was gone. The quiet room startled him for a moment, but he quickly regained his usual composure.

He took off his black suit jacket, loosened his tie as he walked towards the kitchen, and froze when he opened the refrigerator. Inside were already cooked dishes and a sticky note.

Matsuda Jinpei took down the sticky note, which read: Turn around and walk straight for ten steps.

What is he doing? Although Matsuda Jinpei was puzzled, he still took the sticky note and did as he was told. Then he went to the bathroom, where there was a gift box on the sink.

Matsuda Jinpei thought for a moment, then reached out and opened the gift box.

"Pfft-"

A water gun popped out of the gift box, spraying Matsuda Jinpei's face with water.

He knows it!

Matsuda Jinpei wiped the water off his face, his expression darkening as he was about to throw the gift box into the trash can when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.

Without a doubt, Matsuda Jinpei knew that it was Jiang Jin who was making the call.

"Amamiya, you still dare to call?" Matsuda Jinpei's tone was cold, while the person on the other end of the phone said with a grin, "I was just worried that you were sad because I left, Jinpei, so I was trying to cheer you up. Are you still sad now?"

Matsuda Jinpei laughed angrily: "If you appeared in front of me right now, I would definitely handcuff you."

Sitting in Furuya Rei's car, Jiang Jin laughed even more heartily upon hearing Matsuda Jinpei's words. After laughing, he said in a serious tone, "I'm not joking with you anymore, Jinpei. Actually, the real gift I left for you is in your room. I have something to do, so I can't chat with you anymore. But if you need my help, I'll give you a friend's price."

After hanging up the phone, Furuya Rei glanced at Jiang Jin and said, "You seem to care about him, even leaving a gift for Matsuda? What, you've developed feelings for him after staying for a few days? Don't forget, he's a policeman."

"Listen to that, Ah Ling, why does your voice sound so sour?" Jiang Jin teased.

Furuya Rei rolled his eyes at him: "I'm just reminding you. Matsuda Jinpei is not like that FBI agent; he's a real cop."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Jin rested his hand on the car door, tapping it casually. "The organization ordered Sakurai Takahiro to be dealt with to send a warning to the Sakurai Group. But... is that all? I'm afraid it's not enough?"

Rei Furuya sneered: "Of course. Offending the organization will cost them."

Soon after, a pharmaceutical research company under the Sakurai Group was anonymously reported for using illegal drugs in its research. The whistleblower published the letter through a large number of media outlets, which quickly created a large-scale public opinion against the Sakurai Group.

Due to the serious public outcry, the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched its Special Investigation Department to investigate. However, during the investigation, Takeuchi Kenji, one of the suspects, suddenly died, leading many to speculate that the Sakurai Foundation wanted to silence him.

At Eri Kisaki's law firm, Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan were all gathered together. Eri Kisaki was the client in this case; her employer was Takeuchi Kenjiro's wife. Originally, they wanted her to help resolve Takeuchi Kenjiro's hit-and-run case, but unexpectedly, a drug case occurred shortly afterward, and now that person has died, the case has turned into an investigation into Takeuchi's death.

“Our old adversary is still Prosecutor Kujo, who is in charge of investigating Sakurai Pharmaceuticals’ case involving prohibited research drugs.” Eri Kisaki frowned. “But besides that, there’s another problem: the lawyer defending Sakurai Pharmaceuticals, Kaede Tsukishiro. I heard that this lawyer dares to take on any case… Before Takeuchi died, the last person he saw was Kujo. I’m worried that she might have been set up by someone.”

Kogoro Mouri stared intently at the case files, deep in thought. Conan, standing beside him, looked up and asked, "Aunt Eri, why is Takeuchi Kenjiro still being detained at the police station? Even if he's involved in the illegal drug case, shouldn't he be detained directly?"

Eri Kisaki replied, "That's because this person recently committed a hit-and-run and was detained by Prosecutor Kujo. But I've always been curious about why Kujo wouldn't agree to bail Takeuchi out first."

"This Takeuchi Construction is really unlucky," Conan thought to himself.

the other side.

A silver-haired woman in a black suit skirt walked out of the gate of Sakurai Pharmaceutical Company. She looked at the gloomy sky, as if it was about to rain.

Her phone rang, and when she took it out, she saw it was Ikeda, the boss of the firm.

"Mr. Ikeda."

"Tsukishiro, how's Sakurai Pharmaceuticals doing? They're one of our biggest clients. I specifically entrusted this case to you because I have high hopes for you." Ikeda's feigned kindness sounded extremely hypocritical to Tsukishiro Kaede's ears.

Are you kidding me? It's just that this case is difficult to handle. Sakurai has caused such a stir in the media, so the prosecutors will definitely put in a lot of effort to investigate. I heard it's Reiko Kujo again this time, "the Madonna of the legal world."

Ikeda is like a seasoned veteran. After becoming a senior partner, he prefers to take on cases that are easy to handle and have high commission rates.

Since arriving in the world of Detective Conan, Yuecheng Feng has been working and working overtime, and has thought countless times about turning the other party into a zombie.

She hung up the phone impatiently, just as Wu Yu from the group chat had sent her the information she had asked to investigate Takeuchi Construction.

You wouldn't believe it until you look, this guy has quite a history. Five years ago, he was involved in a case of illegal shoddy workmanship.

This case also involved corruption by a politician. The case was dropped after the investigators and prosecutors who were investigating the case committed suicide.

This Takeuchi Kenjiro was one of the director's subordinates who committed suicide, and he recanted all the testimonies after the director's death.

After this incident, Takeuchi Kenji left the company, married his current wife, and joined Sakurai Pharmaceutical Company in a senior position.

No matter how you look at it, Takeuchi Construction has a lot of problems, right? Since that's the case, why not just put all the blame on this guy? Anyway, that's something Sakurai Pharmaceutical would be happy to see.

After making up her mind, Yuecheng Feng's mood brightened. Just then, a light rain began to fall, and she opened her black umbrella and stepped into the rain.

In the Poirot Cafe, Conan and Ran were enjoying afternoon tea when the wind chimes at the door rang, and Jiang Jin, wearing the face of Amamiya Namiko, walked in.

“Miss Amamiya? Ah, Mr. Amuro is on vacation today,” Enomoto Azusa said to Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin tilted his head slightly and said in a haughty tone, "I didn't come here to see him, I just came to have afternoon tea."

Conan and Ran greeted Jiang Jin, who smiled and walked toward them, saying, "Oh, it's you. Good afternoon, Conan and Xiao Xiao."

"Is Ms. Amamiya really not here to see Mr. Amuro?" Conan asked with a grin.

Jiang Jin feigned embarrassment and annoyance: "Of course not! By the way, I just saw Mr. Mori rushing out. Did something happen?"

"Oh, Uncle Mori must have gone to see Aunt Eri. She's been having a headache over a case lately," Conan replied without hesitation. Enomoto Azusa brought Jiang Jin lemonade and dessert, and after thanking her, Jiang Jin asked, "What case? Can you tell me?"

Conan hesitated for a moment, but Ran was not on guard: "Actually, it's been reported in the news a lot lately."

"Oh, I see, you mean the Sakurai Pharmaceuticals case?" Jiang Jin said with a look of sudden realization. "No wonder she's Attorney Fei; she can handle such a big case. Which side is she representing? Sakurai Pharmaceuticals?"

Xiaolan shook her head: "No, it's someone involved in the case. I heard it's someone from Sakurai Pharmaceuticals, a lawyer named Tsukishiro Kaede."

"Oh? Is that so? Tsukishiro Kaede..."

Yuecheng Feng thought that a lawyer like herself would kidnap others if she were to do it, but she didn't expect that she would be kidnapped first before she could even make a move!

Who would kidnap her? That prosecutor and Eri Kisaki couldn't possibly do such a thing. The Sakurai Foundation has even less reason to kidnap her.

"Ms. Lawyer, I'm sorry to invite you to meet in this way..."
