Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 192: Threat from Conan (Cause and Effect)
"Come, come, Miss Qing Haichuan, please come in."

As he spoke, Kawamura Hirofumi picked up the wine bottle beside him, poured her some wine and said, "Oh, Miss Qing Haichuan is so mean. You could have told the truth."

The corners of Qinghai Chuantang's mouth twitched slightly, curious about what kind of identity was assigned to him.

After putting the bottle aside, Hirofumi Kawamura immediately crawled to the table with a flattering smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that Miss Qing Haichuan is actually the sister of the Director of the Criminal Bureau of the National Police Agency. I didn't recognize her. Mizu, Xiaoqiu!"

Kawamura Hirofumi called out to the two of them.

Yushan Changying and Xiao Qiuyuan knelt behind him with a very respectful attitude. Yonezu was a little reluctant, but he had to do it.

After all, he did act impulsively and he should apologize for it.

"These two idiots have done a lot of rude things to you. Let me express my deepest apologies to you on their behalf."

The three of them got down from their seats, which showed their sincerity.

The geisha and Yonezuhisa bent down slightly and lowered their heads.

Qinghai Chuantang's hands almost trembled and he spilled the wine.

"Please stand up quickly. My brother is my brother, and I am me."

"Moreover, I didn't expect that Miss Qing Haichuan has already become famous as a famous detective who has solved countless difficult cases."

No, this should be addressed to Kogoro Mouri.

Qinghai Chuantang quietly complained in his heart.

"From now on, please give me more guidance and criticism."

"Please give me your guidance!"

Early the next morning.

After buying magazines in Qinghai Chuantang, when passing by Dogo Onsen, I suddenly heard someone calling my name.

It turned out to be Himeko.

She ran over anxiously, panting.

"Mr. Xiangjiang was taken away on suspicion of murdering my grandfather!"

Xiangjiang?

Qinghai Chuantang was slightly stunned, she had never heard of this person's name.

"Ms. Himeko. Could it be that you and Mr. Xiangjiang are?"

Looking at Ji Zi who lowered her head shyly, Qinghai Chuantang understood instantly.

So, the two found Yonezu Hisahisa.

"Actually, Aie had a motive to kill Mr. Samuda."

Yonezu explained, "We have information that Aie proposed to Himeko but was opposed by Mr. Samuda."

After hearing this, Himeko defended the other party, saying, "Even if your grandfather is against marriage, Mr. Xiangjiang is not someone who would do that to your grandfather."

"Is there any connection between Kyoto Rino and Mr. Aie?" Qinghai Chuantang asked.

"If I had to say it, it would be a haiku."

Yonezu said: "After all, what she was holding was the publication of Aoyama Society."

Kyoto Rino is not a member of Aoyamasha.

But members sometimes give the magazine to their relatives and friends.

There are about three hundred members, but about one thousand copies of the journal have been printed.

"What kind of person is Kyoto Rino?" asked Qinghai Chuantang.

"She is the owner of a bar called Newcastle in Hiroshima. She also has branches in Okayama, Kobe, and Imabari. She is a very capable proprietress."

Kyoto Rino visits each branch every month and gives instructions on experience, reception, etc.

"In fact, not long ago, I think it was on the 25th, she seemed to have been waiting for someone."

Qinghai Chuantang recalled what he saw at that time.

The other party looked around, looking for that person.

But the person I was waiting for never showed up.

"So the person you met is very suspicious."

"Yes." Qinghai Chuantang nodded.

"I'll check it out right away."

Having said that, Yonezu immediately grabbed the clothes on the ground and ran out the door.

After the other party left, Qing Hai Chuan Tang looked at her and asked, "Ms. Ji Zi, who proposed to hold the meeting at the Uchiko House?"

"It's Mr. Muroyama."

He was the president of the shipyard who was sitting on the right hand side of Samuda Masaaki at that time.

"If the head of the Qingshan Society dies, will Mr. Muroyama be the next head?"

"How is that possible?" Jizi shook her head and explained, "My grandfather said that the haiku that person wrote was terrible."

After saying that, she picked up the conference catalogue on the table, opened it, found the page with Muroyama Shinji's haiku, and handed it to Qinghai Chuantang.

After taking a look, Qinghai Chuantang felt a little embarrassed.

Without being modest.
It’s actually hard to tell whether her haiku is good or bad.

"This one too." Jizi handed her another publication and thoughtfully turned to the page with Muroyama Shinji's haiku.

After reading it, Qing Haichuantang said, "Mr. Muroyama is unexpectedly modest."

"Modest? What do you mean?" Ji Zi was very confused.

"Mr. Muroyama's works are serialized at the back, just like ordinary members, right? This one is on page 25, and the other one is on page 26."

"He must have felt embarrassed to put himself at the front of his own book when he compiled it himself."

Although Muroyama Shinji is the No. 2 in Aoyamasha, that is only because he provides financial support to Aoyamasha.

Since he joined the club three years ago, the number of new members has continued to grow, and since his father passed away, he has also been taken care of by the club.

It was precisely because of this that Masaaki Samuda was unable to refuse him directly.

Although Muroyama Shinji looked to be over 40, he did propose to Himeko through Samuda Masaaki.

That's why Masaaki Samuda rejected Aie's proposal.

"but."

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Zi said, "My grandfather was talking to himself in the yard not long ago, saying, 'We can't continue to let Muroyama do whatever he wants.' I always felt that his smile at that time was a confident sneer."

I remember it very clearly because I rarely saw my grandfather laugh like that.

It was indeed a sneer, not a smile.

After thinking for a while, Qing Hai Chuan Tang said: "Ms. Ji Zi, can you take me to see Mr. Muroyama?"

"Are you going to see Mr. Muroyama?"

“This is a rare guest.”

After taking a look at Ji Zi, he looked at Qing Hai Chuan Tang and said, "I remember you are?"

"I'm sorry for disturbing Mr. Samuda's wake a few days ago."

"But thanks to her, we may be able to find out who killed my grandfather."

"A criminal?" After saying that, Muroyama Shinji took off his safety helmet, took out a business card holder from his trouser pocket, took out a business card from it, and handed it to Qinghai Chuantang.

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Muroyama."

"I'm Qing Haichuan."

"She is a travel reporter from Tokyo. She is here to collect information about the stories of Natsume Soseki and Taneda Santoka." Himeko helped introduce.

"Travel reporter? Come this way."

As they walked along the road, Qinghai Chuantang exclaimed: "Such a large shipyard is all yours? It's amazing."

"No, it's just a small dock." Muroyama Shinji said modestly.

"Okayama, Kobe, Imabari, and Hiroshima, right?"

"No, there is no Hiroshima."

"Eh?" Qinghai Chuantang pretended to be surprised, took a look at the back of the business card, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, I accidentally confused it with her."

"she?"

"She was the woman who was murdered in Odagawa a while ago. Her name was Kyoto Rino, and she was the proprietress of a bar called Newcastle in Hiroshima. She also owned shops in Okayama, Kobe, and Imabari."

"Newcastle?" Muroyama Shinji read the name and seemed to find it familiar.

"Have you ever been there?"

"Maybe I went there once or twice. The lady boss of that store was murdered."

"So, have you met Kyoto Rino?"

Muroyama Shinji touched his high hairline and thought for a moment with some distress: "Is there one? Although I remember going to the store, I don't remember whether I met the boss lady."

"Please come in."

Muroyama Shinji led them to his office.

There was another person in the room, sorting out the conference journal.

It's Miyagi Toshiyuki.

"Oh, it's Mr. Miyagi."

"Yes, young lady. Right now, we are distributing next month's magazine."

"Distribution?" Qinghai Chuantang felt a little confused.

"Yes." Miyaki Toshiyuki explained: "Many of President Muroyama's subordinates are members. These are the portions distributed to their relatives and friends."

Qinghai Chuantang hurried over and said, "Can I take a look at one?"

"Please come in." Upon hearing this, Gong Muminzhi quickly handed her a copy of the conference brochure in his hand.

"On which page is Mr. Muroyama's work published?"

Faced with Qinghai Chuantang's sudden question, he was obviously a little slow to react.

Or rather, there was a slight hint of hesitation.

"It should be at the very beginning. It seems to be the third page or the fourth page." Miyaki Toshiyuki said.

When he turned to the third page, Qinghai Chuantang finally saw Muroyama Shinji's name among them.

It’s still the same as what I saw before, giving people an indescribable feeling.

After leaving, they happened to meet Yonezu Hisahisa who came outside.

"Officer Yonezu, what's going on? Any progress on the person that Kyouto Rino is meeting?"

"Oh, I have no idea."

Yonezuhisa wiped the sweat off his hands with a towel and said, "However, on the 25th day of the incident, Kyoto Rino was told by the housekeeper of the Hiroshima family that she went to the store in Imabari."

"But the lady boss that Imabari hired said that she would come on the evening of the 26th."

In other words, it is confirmed without a doubt that Kyoto Rino met someone on the 25th.

Aren’t the numbers 25 and 26 exactly the same as the page numbers that we saw earlier when Muroyama Shinji published the article?
"Officer Yonezu, check the dates that Kyoto Rino visited the branch stores from the Hiroshima headquarters one by one within the past six months."

"Eh?"

What surprised Qinghai Chuantang was that he happened to meet Conan on the street when he was on his way to Himeko's residence.

He looked pitiful and told the fact that he had been separated from his beloved sister Xiaolan.

It's shameful to act cute maliciously!

When she wanted to call Xiaolan and ask her to come and take Conan away, she quietly pulled her sleeve and motioned her to bend down.

He whispered in her ear and threatened, "Sister Xiaotang, if you don't take me with you to solve the case, I will tell everyone that you are in police station."

Are you preparing to commit social suicide?
Qinghai Chuantang was filled with grief and indignation: "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you would have such vicious thoughts!"

"No, I'm just kidding. Besides, wouldn't you be able to save a lot of brain cells if I worked for you for free?"

It seems that Conan has successfully recognized his position.

"make a deal."

Just like that, while the two people on the side were confused, Qinghai Chuantang and Conan reached a deal.

Successfully shook hands and made peace.
