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

Chapter 124 Baichuanqiu: "How about we exchange secrets?"

"The White Birds were so cool! It's said that everyone was shocked at the time, and the entire conference hall was almost deafened by their noise..."

As they walked down the corridor, Takagi Wataru excitedly described the scene. Shiratori Jinsaburo humbly coughed lightly and said, "There's nothing much to say. It's just normal operation."

The minimum requirement for this meeting was to be an inspector, so except for Juzo Megure and Nisaburo Shiratori, the others were not qualified to enter the venue for the meeting. However, Nisaburo Shiratori shined at the meeting, and the news quickly spread throughout the Metropolitan Police Department, attracting the attention of many people.

Matsuda Jinpei also gave Shiratori Jinsaburo a thumbs-up, but still said very rationally: "You better be careful recently. All the firepower is focused on you now."

Shiratori Renzaburo snorted lightly, not worrying about his own safety: "I've made all the arrangements. We'll have bodyguards to pick you up and drop you off soon. As for you, please be careful. If necessary, I can also lend you a few bodyguards to take care of your daily commute."

Matsuda Jinpei snorted and laughed: "I don't need it. I have a life, I want to see who is so desperate that he wants to fight me head-on."

Takagi Shigeya waved his hand and glanced at Sato Miwako out of the corner of his eye: "I've been riding in Sato's car lately. We usually go to and from get off work together, so it's safer and there won't be any big problems."

Sato Miwako nodded: "Yes, thank you Shiratori."

Shiratori Renzaburo glanced at Takagi Wataru, how could he not know Takagi Wataru's little thoughts? He pursed his lips and rarely refrained from exposing them.

Anyway, he already has a beautiful girlfriend (Sumiko Kobayashi), so he doesn't care about the emotional problems of this idiot Takagi Wataru.

The group was walking and talking, and then they met Ida Kou who was returning from a mission.

"Monitor!"

Jinpei Matsuda walked over to say hello, and the other three people returned to the office area on their own initiative.

"Matsuda." Ida Ko waved with a smile.

It was only then that Matsuda Jinpei noticed that Date Ko's left arm was wrapped in white gauze, and he looked injured.

"What's going on?" Jinpei Matsuda frowned immediately.

"Hey, I just went to catch a criminal and accidentally got it." Yi Dahang raised his injured arm and shook it, indicating that it was not a big deal. He looked at Matsuda Jinpei with some concern in his eyes. "As for your situation, I heard about it when I came back. Your actions are really..."

Date Kou hesitated, "The incident between Hayashiro Kenji and Yoshikawa Ryo was already a big enough fuss, and now you've brought up the suspicious death of the former head of the First Investigation Division. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll offend a lot of people."

Matsuda Jinpei shrugged casually, "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of them."

If they have the guts, just come and do it. Don't hide behind and play dirty tricks. He, Jinpei Matsuda, even wants to beat up the Superintendent of Police, let alone these bastards.

Date Ko knew Matsuda Jinpei's personality, so he didn't try to persuade him. He just patted Matsuda Jinpei on the shoulder and sighed softly, "I'm very sorry, I really can't help you with this matter."

Matsuda Jinpei shook his head. "We just happened to find out. It has nothing to do with you. The most important thing for you right now is to focus on your family."

He looked at Date Ko's injured arm and said, "Don't go on such dangerous missions lately. The Metropolitan Police Department is in turmoil right now. Hagiwara and I aren't afraid, but we're mainly worried about you getting affected."

Yi Dahang smiled carefreely: "Then you don't have to worry about me. This mission is over, and I'm going to take some time off. It's just the right time to accompany Natalie through her final period of pregnancy."

Upon hearing the news, Matsuda Jinpei felt relieved and was genuinely happy for the squad leader: "Is that so? That's good too. You can go back and spend more time with her."

Yi Dahang's eyes were sincere: "So you don't have to worry about me, just go do your own thing, and when I'm free later, come and help me."

Matsuda Jinpei chuckled: "That's too late. At our speed, everything will have been resolved by then."

Date: "That's not bad either."

The two chatted casually and then separated at the door of the office area.

Yi Dahang successfully got leave from his boss and happily went back to be with his wife.

-

Café Poirot.

Shirakawa Akane rested his head on his arms and listened attentively to the conversation between Mori Kogoro and Amuro Toru.

"I even went to the old section chief's memorial service, but I didn't expect there were so many questions and doubts behind it." Maori Kogoro sighed, "Why didn't I notice it back then... Alas!"

Amuro Toru comforted Maori Kogoro: "No one expected this to happen. We still have to blame the murderer and Hayashika Construction, who carefully cooperated with the murderer to set a trap for the old section chief... I just hope that this matter will have a result soon."

Maori Kogoro thought about the things that happened at the Metropolitan Police Department and shook his head with a wry smile: "I hope so."

Conan also sat in his seat and listened with relish, the scene of meeting Officer Matsuda and others that day emerged in his mind.

No wonder Officer Matsuda was lost in thought staring at the tower crane opposite that day. It turned out that he discovered the suspicious points from that year from similar equipment on the construction site.

This is really amazing...

But that was a case nine years ago. Why would Officer Matsuda suddenly pay attention to it? It should have been closed. A normal officer wouldn't care about a case that had been closed for years... unless he had other motives.

Conan's eyes fell on the white-haired young man beside him.

Baichuan Qiu noticed the child's gaze, raised his head and smiled at him.

Conan looked away.

Could it be that Officer Matsuda and his team are investigating Linlu Construction because of Mr. Shirakawa's car accident that year?

By the way, the bridge that Mr. Shirakawa crashed into back then... what was it called...

While the adults were talking, Conan quietly took out his phone, entered the address of the police academy on the phone, then opened the map and searched along the road on the map -

Found it, it’s called Baihong Bridge.

Conan immediately went to search for information about Baihong Bridge.

Baihong Bridge was built in XX, invested by XX Group and constructed by Linlu Construction...

Conan's pupils shrank slightly and his eyes widened.

Linlu Construction!

It turns out that the bridge that Mr. Shirakawa hit was built by Linlu Construction!

Doesn't that mean that Officer Matsuda and his team are ostensibly investigating Linlu Construction and internal corruption within the police force, but are actually investigating the car accident that happened seven years ago?

Conan also paid extra attention and found that according to Wikipedia, this bridge was built nine years ago, but less than two years after its construction, the bridge piers were accidentally destroyed by someone. Then the bridge was rebuilt and resumed operation until now. It is still in use...

Conan gasped.

Things turned out to be so exciting!

He put away his phone and took a sip of the juice on the table to hide his astonishment.

Maori Kogoro took a sip of coffee and continued to talk about what happened at the memorial service that year. However, Conan no longer cared about it. Instead, he moved closer to Shirakawa Akane and asked in a low voice: "Is there another hidden story behind Mr. Shirakawa's car accident that year?"

Since returning from Matsuura Island, Conan has deepened his cooperation with Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei, so he is not too defensive against Shirakawa Akane, but generously shows a side of himself that is different from a child.

Baichuan Qiu raised his eyebrows, slowly changed his posture, leaned on the table, propped up his head lazily, and looked at Conan with a smile: "Guess?"

Conan pouted: "Mr. Shirakawa, you have so many secrets."

Baichuan Qiu: "Hmm, thank you for the compliment. I think so too. How about you trade your secret with me?"

Conan: "..."

Conan fell silent.
