Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 1 White Stone
August 2016, 8, night.

Blue Star, the Eastern Island Country of the Old World, on a large passenger plane bound for the United States of the New World...

In the first class cabin, Shiraishi Kuro was dozing off on a spacious reclining seat. Although he was nominally on vacation, the reason he was on the plane was not to go somewhere for fun, but to investigate an important matter!

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the economy class bathroom - although there was some distance between the first class cabin where Shiraishi Kuro was and the economy class bathroom, Shiraishi Kuro, who had sharp hearing and was used to being on guard, instantly woke up from his doze.

Immediately, the lights in the business class cabin came on, and a call for help came over the voice broadcast...

"Dear passengers, a patient with an emergency condition was found during this flight. If there are passengers working as doctors, nurses or other medical professionals, please contact the nearest flight attendant..."

Sudden emergency? But isn't that scream a little too exaggerated?

Bai Shi, out of professional sensitivity and with something he was investigating on the plane, sensed that something seemed amiss! After a moment's hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to signal the stewardess next to him.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

"Hello." Shiraishi Kuro lowered his voice and took out his ID from his jacket pocket: "I'm a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department. Is there really an emergency patient?"

"Ah! Actually, it's like this..." The flight attendant breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the ID, leaned slightly closer to Shiraishi Kuro and explained in a low voice.

Just now, a flight attendant found a male corpse in the bathroom!
Although according to the regulations, we did not make any rash contact with the other party, we could still tell that he was dead and had died with his eyes open.

Reporting the need to find a doctor was just a necessary procedure, not really hoping that the person could be saved.

"A man?...Take me over to see him." Shiraishi Kuro had a bad feeling in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to monitor the target in real time in the economy class, but unfortunately... the actual conditions did not allow it, so he could only sit in the first class!

When Shiraishi Kuro arrived at the economy class and headed for the bathroom, he found that a police officer was already there, and he knew...

……

Megure Juzo, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Division 3 of the Metropolitan Police Department, Criminal Department, Investigation Division 1.

Inspector Megure never expected that while he was taking Takagi to the United States to extradite the criminal, they would happen to encounter a murder case!

That's right, he just heard that something was not right, so he admitted his identity to the flight attendant and then came to investigate.

Because there were no local police officers on the scene, the search conditions were very simple, and...

He also discovered that his "old friend's" son was causing trouble at the scene!
Although Yusaku Kudo has helped Megure a lot, and Megure trusts Kudo when it comes to solving cases, this does not mean that he will trust a cocky little kid in high school...even if this kid is Yusaku Kudo's son.

This is indeed the first time that Kudo Shinichi has the opportunity to encounter a murder case alone!

"Really! Shinichi, this is not the place to play detective games!" Megure scolded.

And just then...

dong dong dong-

Shiraishi Kuro walked over without hiding his footsteps.

Takagi Wataru, who was originally in the corridor, turned around immediately after hearing the voice behind him and said instinctively: "Sorry, the bathroom here is temporarily closed... er... Gurgle..."

Gao Mu originally wanted to stop the people approaching the scene normally, but... after turning his head and seeing the figure of the person coming, his scalp immediately tingled and he swallowed hard. He was recently transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department. He had been in the local police station before and did not know Shiraishi Kuro, but...

Shiraishi Kuro is the type of person who can make people feel oppressed without them knowing him!
Shiraishi Kuro, head of the 226th Department, Section 159, Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, Metropolitan Police Department, is 184cm tall and weighs 79kg (the same height as Yao Ming in real life, plus he is slightly stronger than Kyogoku Makoto [Kyogoku Makoto is cm tall and weighs kg], see the cover of the novel for comparison).

This is why Shiraishi Kuro could not sit in economy class - there was no room to sit, no room to lie down, and even the cabin was not high enough.

Shiraishi Kuro looked down at the policeman who seemed to be a "newcomer", and then smiled like a "friendly colleague".

"You've just joined the Investigation Division, right? Nice to meet you..." Shiraishi Kuro smiled and extended his hand.

Shiraishi Kuro knew almost all the detectives in the First Investigation Division, especially those who committed crimes in the Third Division. He had worked with many of them before, but he had never seen this thin young colleague.

"Well, that..." Gao Mu looked at the "wall" and his thoughts became confused. Seeing him grinning and stretching out his hand, he instinctively took a step back.

But just then...

"Huh? Isn't this Brother Shiraishi? You're here too, I didn't see you just now?" When Megure saw this "wall", he naturally recognized him immediately.

Because in the first year that Shiraishi Kuro had just joined the company, he spent most of his time in the Third Department of the Investigation Division 1, which was under Megure's command. So even though Shiraishi was already a police inspector of the same rank as himself, Megure still warmly called him "brother".

"Brother Takagi, don't be nervous. This is the head of the fourth department of Section 3, Inspector Shiraishi." Megure glared at the useless "newcomer" and then introduced him.

"Ah...ah! Inspector Shiraishi! I'm sorry." Takagi apologized immediately.

At the same time, Takagi was thinking...

Although I already knew that people who were “coupled” generally looked fierce, but... wasn’t this too fierce?
The third section of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department was once affiliated with the "Criminal Department" like the "First Investigation Section" and was called the "Organized Crime Countermeasures Section."

Due to the national conditions of East Island, there are a large number of legal violent gangs in the country. The nature of the crimes committed by these guys is different from those committed by ordinary citizens, so the police have a department specifically designed to deal with criminal acts caused by violent organizations, namely the "Organized Crime Countermeasures Section." Later, as the control over violent organizations became increasingly stronger, it was separated from the Criminal Department and reorganized and expanded into the "Organized Crime Countermeasures Department"!
For the sake of convenience, people are generally accustomed to calling it "Team Pair". The predecessor of the "Third Lesson" is the previous "Organized Crime Countermeasures Lesson", which is the ace lesson directly responsible for dealing with organized crime, just like the ace of the "Criminal Department" is the "Investigation Lesson 1".

Because they always deal with violent elements, the "teamed police officers" all look fierce. Even if they don't reveal their identities, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between "members of violent organizations" and "teamed police officers" from their appearance, speech, temperament...

"Hahaha, Officer Takagi is not thinking, 'As expected of a good teammate', right? Actually, if you look closely, I have a very kind face, right? I'm not bragging, but in our class, I have one of the kindest faces."

Shiraishi Kuro said this, bending down and moving closer...

Takagi immediately leaned back and was able to see more clearly - to be honest, just looking at his face... he really doesn't look that fierce!
But, with your figure like this, it’s hard for people to just look at your face!

"No, no, no! I'm surprised that Inspector Shiraishi is so young and promising that he is already the department head..." Of course Takagi couldn't say "I'm afraid of you", so he thought of an excuse on the spot.

Indeed, when Takagi looked at his face, he discovered that Inspector Shiraishi... seemed very young, and felt like he was not more than two years older than himself!
Takagi Shigeru is 3 years old this year. He had worked in a local police station for three years before being transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department because of his outstanding performance and being considered to have great prospects. For an idealistic on-the-scene detective, "Search " is a legendary department.

However, just like most of the police officers who had just been transferred to "Search 1", he was directly attacked by a dimensionality reduction attack. The excellent detective of the police station, Takagi Shigeru, was instantly turned into a newcomer here.

"Really...Brother Takagi, what you said is so rude. Brother Shiraishi is the elite of the gold...ahem, professional group." Megure rolled his eyes at Takagi again.

It's fine to be timid just because someone looks fierce...

Don't be fooled by Inspector Shiraishi's burly appearance and strong limbs, but... he also has an extraordinary brain!
