Chapter 282 People from all parties gathered together
This day is destined to be an extraordinary day.
In the morning, a tragic self-immolation incident occurred during the Yamaboko parade, resulting in two deaths, casting an indelible shadow over this year's Gion Festival. In the afternoon, Kenji Nishizaki, a member of the Nishizaki family's branch, suddenly surrendered to the police, confessing to operating a geisha house and profiting from the sex trade without the knowledge of his clan members.
At the same time, he recently felt deeply guilty and ashamed of himself, so he committed suicide by shooting himself before the police arrived.
By the time the police arrived at the scene, the man was already dead.
Ayanokouji Fumimaro looked at the person who had been dead for a long time sitting on the seat, then turned his head to look at the Nishizaki family members behind him who looked sad, with a complicated expression.
He is not a fool. He can't see that this guy was abandoned by the family and pushed out to take the blame.
But... even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. We all have the blood of the Nishizaki family. Isn't it a bit too cruel for this man to die just like that?
Following Ayanokouji Fumimaro, the police arrived with very fast movements, led by Yuya Kazami.
They had flown in directly after receiving the news, but unfortunately, they were still a step too late. Seeing the situation at the scene, Kazami Yuya pressed the headset and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the person is dead."
Finally, the one who arrived at the scene was Detective Hakuba who had rushed back from Tokyo. Behind him were several other police officers. Judging from their uniforms and temperament, they should also be police officers from Tokyo.
The three parties gathered together, surrounded the corpse and looked at each other. Only the people from the Nishizaki family looked pale, knowing that there was only one Nishizaki Kenji in this matter, and there would be no way to resolve it peacefully.
Baichuan Qiu looked at the police officers and public security officers at the scene, slapped his forehead with some complex thoughts, squatted down and asked Conan: "How many people did you shake?"
Conan chuckled: "Actually, there are people from Osaka as well, but Hattori thinks there are enough people on the scene, so he's calling them now to tell them that they don't need to come."
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
Wow, you guys really know how to shake people up.
Seeing Shirakawa Qiu's complicated expression, Conan felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone. Hattori and I really want to help them."
And this is the only thing they can do.
After all, the other party is wealthy and powerful. If one party is bribed, the other party can also play a supervisory role.
They really don't want anyone to continue to die because of this, or to regret it for the rest of their lives.
Baichuanqiu glanced at Conan, who looked a little melancholy, reached out and patted his head, saying approvingly, "Well done."
On this side, unlike the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere at Shirakawa-no-Kawa, the atmosphere among Nishizaki and the police was relatively tense.
"Alas, I never thought that Nishizaki Kenji would do such a thing and kill my second son. He truly deserves death."
Taro Nishizaki seemed to have aged more than ten years, and he no longer had the vigor and vitality of his former years. It seemed that he was not far from entering the coffin.
The officer who followed Hakuba in was clearly of high rank. He simply glanced at the scene and said calmly, "Whether Nishizaki Kenji committed suicide is something we will certainly investigate thoroughly. However, we also need to investigate whether other members of the Nishizaki family are involved in this case."
Nishizaki Taro's expression changed for a moment.
"The innocent will be cleared. I believe Mr. Nishizaki will cooperate with our work, right?" The police officer looked at the old man in front of him with a smile.
Nishizaki Taro forced a smile and said, "It's natural."
"However, there are too many people here. Can anyone who is not necessary please leave?"
Taro Nishizaki's eyes fell on Shirakawa Qiu in the corner.
Shirakawa Qiu was originally still smiling at Conan. After being nodded, he did not panic. He just stood up straight and looked at Nishizaki Taro with an innocent expression: "Eh? Are you talking about me?"
It was the first time that Taro Nishizaki officially met the youngest son of the Shirakawa family. His eyes swept across his face coldly, with a hint of barely perceptible disgust.
This face really looks similar.
The Shirakawa family is really disgusting.
Whenever the Nishizaki family encounters them, nothing good will happen.
"What else?" Taro Nishizaki glared at him coldly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not unrelated." Shirakawa Qiu spread his hands. "Someone came to trouble me the day before yesterday. After investigation, I'm now very sure that the mastermind behind this is Kenji Nishizaki. Although he is dead, as a victim, I come here to seek justice. Is it not too much to ask for justice?"
Taro Nishizaki stared at the man without saying a word.
Baichuan Qiu just had an innocent look on his face, as if he was enjoying the show.
Hehehe, what can you do to me?
You can't kill me, you can't drive me away, and I can't make you die of rage, you old dog.
Feng Jianyu looked at the situation here, and thought of the instructions given to him by his superior before coming here. He felt that it was time for him to take action. He must not let the people of the Nishizaki family bully his superior's friends. He immediately walked over and stood in front of Shirakawa Qiu:
"Mr. Shirakawa is also a victim of this case and has the right to know. As the family of the perpetrator, please keep a certain distance from Mr. Shirakawa to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Taro Nishizaki: "..."
I really want to curse.
Conan also raised his head and said loudly in a baby voice, "Don't bully Mr. Shirakawa! He has been left with a serious psychological trauma because of the thugs sent by Nishizaki Kenji. If you do this, it will make Mr. Shirakawa even more uncomfortable."
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
Huh? Who? Me?
Conan, you kid, you lie without even blinking an eye.
Bai Ma Detective also came over and said calmly, "Alright, everyone, be quiet. Since this case is quite serious, we should also have a reasonable distribution and rules."
His words attracted the attention of others. Baichuan Qiu quietly took a step back and let out a long breath.
Phew—that’s scary.
System: "I Became a Heartthrob After Disguising Myself as a Murderer"
Baichuan Qiu: "??? System, what are you doing every day?"
What the hell, drop it!
System: "Isn't that so? Just now, the public security and other important characters, even the protagonist, were protecting the host! How can this not be considered a heartthrob?"
What’s more, the host is their natural enemy, the most murderous of all murderers. It feels so good to think about it this way.
Shirakawa Akane: "...Stop reading those messy books next door."
It is easy to damage data.
system:(???)?
"Mr. Shirakawa?"
Conan's voice brought Shirakawa Qiu back to his senses.
"Ok?"
Shirakawa Qiu's gaze fell on Conan again.
"Come on, let's talk about it."
Conan took Shirakawa Qiu outside.
It's called "outside", but it's actually the garden of the old Nishizaki family house. It's really well-landscaped, and there's even a lake next to it.
But it was obvious that no one was in the mood to appreciate the lake next to it.
Baichuan Qiu squatted down: "What's wrong?"
Conan asked quietly, "What is the connection between Mr. Shirakawa and the Nishizaki family?"
Although he had guessed it before, now seeing the Nishizaki family's attitude towards Shirakawa Akane, Conan knew that his guess was definitely correct.
"Are they using Linlu Construction to target Mr. Shirakawa?"
Baichuan Qiu coughed lightly a few times.
Well, although I didn't intend to hide it, Conan, your question is too straightforward.
