Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 105 Salty Pig’s Hands

"Ikari-senpai, Inspector Shiraishi is here to see you!"

Sakuma is also very familiar with Igari, and he is the younger generation that Igari is optimistic about. After being re-hired, Igari has always been more concerned about training new people.

"Senior Ihori, it's been a long time since we last met..." Shiraishi gave away the pineapple gift box that he was almost unable to put away.

After seeing Shiraishi, Ikariri sighed silently, then glared at Sakuma - why do you bring all these people to me?

Sakuma is still confused...

Then Ikariri looked at Shiraishi's gift - well, the greeting had been torn off, but Ikariri keenly noticed the offset print.

"Sakuma, do you have nothing to do today? Go practice with this, and then tell me, Inspector Shiraishi... no, Inspector Shiraishi, what else is in his refrigerator." Ihori seemed very sure that this thing was not bought by Shiraishi just now.

Bai Shi didn't care at all at this time, and went straight to telling the purpose of his visit - he hoped that there would be an extra place for "Mihua Bureau" in the training!
"Add one more spot... My opinion doesn't count in this kind of thing." Zhu Shou rolled his eyes.

Soon, Igari noticed that Shiraishi was looking around his office and said, "Yes! Of course not! As long as you give me the nod, I will go to Minister Odagiri for approval!"

The training was organized by the Criminal Division, and Odagiri could indeed agree, but Shiraishi wanted Igari, the main lecturer, to agree first, so that it would be easier for Director Odagiri to agree, and coming here first would also be possible...

Ikariri immediately understood Shiraishi's intention and began to wink at Sakuma.

Sakuma followed Ikariri's gaze and discovered the tea leaves in the cabinet nearby!
"Oh! Right..." Sakuma then remembered to make tea, but just as he took out the tea leaves from the cupboard...

"How can this be so embarrassing! Really..." Bai Shi came over and took the whole can of tea.

"Senior Igari! There are some good candidates among the candidates for our police station this time. I'll leave them to you. I'll go find Minister Odagiri and won't bother you any more." Shiraishi left with some tea leaves in his pocket.

While Sakuma was still in a daze, Ikariri slapped his forehead - he also knew that the tea leaves would definitely not be returned!

He had owed Bai Shi a favor before, and he couldn't refuse now...

Afterwards, Shiraishi took the tea he had just purchased and did public relations for Minister Odagiri. When he tried to perform a "combo" to obtain the key props and then went to visit his good friend Iwata, he was driven out by Odagiri.

Helplessly, Shiraishi had to go to Iwata empty-handed. To express his gratitude, he treated him to lunch. The auntie in the Metropolitan Police Department cafeteria hadn't seen Shiraishi for a long time, and when she saw him coming, she ordered some more food.

……

After the trip, Shiraishi felt that his "PR" was very successful. Not only did the "Yika Agency" have one more quota in this training, but he also achieved the achievements of Igari's favorability +1, Odagiri's favorability +1, and Iwata's favorability +1.

However, obviously not everyone is so good at public relations...

It was the second day that Shiraishi started working...Friday, November 11th.

Just after ten o'clock in the morning, Section Chief Marubi rushed to the director's office and reported to Shiraishi a difficult matter...at least it was a difficult matter in her opinion!

"Director, Councillor Tōngguchi is here again, along with a legal lawyer from the Masuyama Group... There is some friction with the Criminal Division," Maru reported.

"Swallow? Oh, that mayor, right?" Shiraishi then remembered that it was the mayor who had invited him to attend Kenzo Masuyama's banquet.

No wonder this guy is surrounded by scandals...

Are you so blatantly working as a lackey for the Masuyama Group?
"What is the group's legal lawyer doing at the police station?" Shiraishi frowned at this time - these legal lawyers rarely deal with the police. Even if there are crimes such as tax evasion, these are also investigated by the Procuratorate, and the police station will not investigate economic crimes on its own.

"This morning, the Criminal Division arrested a senior executive of the Masuyama Group, and the group's lawyer came for this." Yuanwei hurriedly explained.

"Huh? What big case happened in the town?" Shiraishi was even more confused. If there really was a big case and people from the Masuyama Group were involved, he should have heard about it.

"It's not a big case. That guy... is a pervert on the train. The person who called the police was a high school girl, and she was arrested directly at Beika Station by Patrolman Fuji." There was also disgust in Maru's tone at this time.

In other words, a senior executive of the Masuyama Group was arrested by the Criminal Division and taken to the police station during the morning rush hour for perverted behavior. After that, the group legal department of the Masuyama Group and his lackey Tsukou came.

Shiraishi immediately understood this - it seems that the suspect of perverted behavior who was caught should have some status in the Masuyama Group, maybe a department head or something like that, but he is most likely not a core member, otherwise... he could find much more excitement than groping on the train!
"Okay, I understand." Bai Shi said, and stood up from his seat.

Not to mention the legal affairs of large groups, generally speaking, the police station will be more cautious when a more difficult lawyer comes.

Shiraishi came to the meeting room of the Criminal Division and found that there was another lawyer wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking very elite in Tunkou, who was talking to Aoki at the moment...

Because there were only three people, the conference room seemed very empty. The three of them sat facing each other on both sides of the large conference table.

"Detective Aoki! This must be a misunderstanding. The Touto Loop Line is so crowded during the morning rush hour that some contact is inevitable. Your agency's arbitrary arrest has caused great trouble to my client, Mr. Kurumiya. I request to meet with my client immediately!" The lawyer accused aggressively. Tunkou then played the good cop and said, "Lawyer Kurumiya, don't be anxious, don't be anxious... I think since it's just a misunderstanding, let's do this... Let's also meet with the person who called the police, and then we can reconcile privately and cause less trouble to the Mika Police Department."

"I fully understand how you feel. According to the procedure, we can certainly meet with the parties involved. However, regarding the matter of reconciliation, we need to consult the victim's opinion first." Aoki said politely.

Aoki usually doesn't take care of such trivial cases, but...

He is one of the few "polite" deans in the criminal department.

Just then, the extraordinarily spacious door of the conference room opened and Bai Shi walked in.

Seeing Bai Shi, the three of them stood up...

"Director Shiraishi, long time no see. I'm so sorry to trouble you again." Tunkou looked familiar and walked forward to shake hands with Shiraishi.

Although Bai Shi despised him in his heart and had not been pleasant in his previous encounters with him, he still did not hit a smiling person and allowed his hand to be shaken perfunctorily.

"You want to see the person involved, right? Well, Detective Aoki, just bring Mr. Kurumiya here." Shiraishi took over the situation and said to Aoki.

No matter what happens, we must let him see a lawyer, and...

Shiraishi did not arbitrarily assume that the facts must be certain - after all, Shiraishi was not at the scene!

It cannot be said that there is no possibility of "misunderstanding" or even "being scammed". After all, some high school girls in the East Island Country are not very trustworthy.

Although Shiraishi was inclined to believe the fact that the person arrested was Fuji Seiko, he did not believe it without a doubt.

Soon, a middle-aged man with meticulously combed hair, a greasy and arrogant face, was brought in by Aoki.

Because he had not been formally taken into custody yet, and he was dressed in a suit and tie, it was obvious that he was arrested on his way to work.

Even if I don't trust anyone in my heart, but...

Shiraishi had a very bad first impression of him - he acted very arrogant as soon as he came in, with an expression that said "I'm better than Dior" on his face.

After being given a sidelong glance by Bai Shi, he finally restrained himself.

Without waiting for Bai Shi to ask, Che Gu spoke first.

"This is Chief Shiraishi, right? I'm so sorry to trouble you to personally take care of such a small matter. Nowadays, grassroots police officers... If they were in a company, an employee who caused trouble to the director like this would have been fired long ago." Although Kurumi was very polite to Shiraishi at this time, he belittled other police officers.

Since he only used the example of a minister, Shiraishi estimated that he was just a minister in the Masuyama Group.

"Don't worry, Director Shiraishi. I won't cause you any trouble... Officer Aoki, please let that little girl come over quickly. I will pay to settle with her. Do you know how busy I am every day?" Kurumi ignored the lawyer's gaze and said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Kurumi, although this incident does not violate the criminal law in East Island Country, according to the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Confusion, if it is confirmed, you may be sentenced to more than six months of detention. Please behave properly." Seeing this, Shiraishi warned with a stern face.

Che Gu was stunned by Bai Shi's rebuff, but...

As a senior executive of the group, Che Gu's privileged thinking did not fade away so quickly. At this time, he still said to himself: "Don't say that! A little girl wearing such a short skirt must be looking forward to this kind of thing."

After hearing Kurumi's explosive remarks, Shiraishi is now certain that the case is not complicated...

He is indeed a pervert on the train!

"Can I take it that you admit it?" Bai Shi looked at him coldly, then glanced at Tunkou and said, "This seems to be different from what Councillor Tunkou said."

"This..." Just as he was about to swallow his words in embarrassment, Lawyer Kurumada beside him hurriedly said, "Wait! Director Shiraishi, this is not a formal interrogation. The above confession is invalid. And what Mr. Kurumada meant just now is actually..."

Seeing that the other party was about to emphasize a word, Bai Shi stood up.

In the shadows, the three people opposite were silent for a moment. The next moment, Bai Shi ignored them and walked straight out of the meeting room.

Seeing this, Aoki winked at the police officer beside him and asked him to take Kurumi back to the detention room first, not giving him a chance to be alone with his lawyer. He also followed Shiraishi out and asked, "Chief, this Kurumi..."

"Just do your job. For matters concerning procedures, consult Section Chief Kunikida. For other matters...if there are any opinions from outside, let them communicate with me directly." Shiraishi said directly.

Of course, it was not worth it for Shiraishi to handle such a trivial case by himself. If it were not for Kurumi's special status, Shiraishi would not have known about such a thing in the police station...
