Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 108 Satisfactory Solution
After Kurumi apologized at the doge's place, Shiraishi did not mention using Kurumi's photo for crime prevention propaganda again...

If this guy hadn't used the company's legal power to bully others and even colluded with lawyers, Shiraishi wouldn't have used the other party's daughter as a threat.

Shiraishi is not a torturer, nor is he a supporter of tit-for-tat revenge, but... if he refuses to accept the offer, that's another story!
Shiraishi saw that the Masuyama Group had become obedient, so he spoke to Aoki again. "By the way, Aoki, about the scum who leaked the information of the person who called the police..."

Aoki was about to report after hearing what the chief said - after investigation, he had basically identified the police officer who leaked the information. He was the police officer in charge of compiling the call records.

But before he could speak, Shiraishi interrupted him and said, "If you have no clue, you can ask Director Kato."

Upon hearing this, Aoki held back what he was about to say.

Kato also looked unhappy at this time...

Lawyers do not have the power to enforce the law. They can only bribe "informants" and sometimes use gray methods to collect intelligence. This matter is nothing if it is not mentioned.

Moreover, lawyers or law firms generally will not give out their "informants" for the sake of their reputation.

But now Shiraishi is acting impartially, even going so far as to apologize on TV, to the Metropolitan Police Department, and to seek an explanation from the Bar Association...

Director Kato also understood that Shiraishi was deliberately giving him two choices at this time - either Kato Law Firm would take the initiative to admit its mistakes and give out the bribed personnel; or... Shiraishi would go to the Bar Association and make a big scene!
With solid evidence in hand, the president of the Bar Association will not dare to act rashly with Shiraishi and will definitely strictly implement industry self-discipline. By then, the rating of Kato Law Firm may even be lowered.

Giving out the bribed police officers would be a huge blow to the reputation of Kato Law Firm.

From now on, everyone will know that your Kato Law Firm will betray informants, and you will face great resistance when looking for clues!
For Shiraishi, making a fuss with the Bar Association is to make the lawyers behave themselves when they see the words "Mika Agency" in the future. And making Kato Law Firm give out the informant is to warn the police officers in the agency to keep their mouths shut in the future. Otherwise, no matter who you leak information that shouldn't be leaked to, that person will betray you, and the chief will not tolerate any sand in his eyes and will definitely dig it out for you.

In comparison, the latter is more efficient for managing the police station - and Shiraishi does not need to go to the TV station for a private discussion, nor does he need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to explain the incident to his superiors. The police station only needs to exercise self-discipline.

Of course, if Kato Law Firm did not have the determination to take responsibility and apologize, it would never have revealed to Shiraishi who the informant was.

After weighing the two evils, Kato had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, Director Shiraishi. I will ask Attorney Kurumada later..."

After Bai Shi saw that both sides "stood at attention" after his attack, he also subsided.

……

Then Shiraishi asked Maruwei to send Masuyama Kenzo and others away, while he went to see Nishimura and her daughter off in person. Masuyama and others saw this, and although they understood that this was a deliberate attempt to give them a hard time, they did not say anything.

Previously, Shiraishi was mostly famous in violent gangs. Although he later overthrew the position of Minister of Justice, his position was too high to make it seem real.

But now in Beika Town, Shiraishi has gradually established his own "fame", and anyone who wants to challenge him must think carefully.

Shiraishi personally escorted Nishimura and her daughter out, and encouraged Nishimura to go to school well after recovering.

"Don't worry about anything else. Punishing evil and promoting good is what we adults should do. If you have any difficulties after returning to school, you can come to... this sister." Shiraishi said, handing the task to Fuji beside him.

After all, the East Island country has its own national conditions. In high school, some gossip may develop into school bullying at any time. This is also one of the reasons why girls are generally unwilling to speak out after being harassed.

Especially since Nishimura is a student at Beika Girls' High School, sometimes victims are inevitably harmed by rumors.

In this regard, not only does the East Island country lack a consensus in society, which makes the police reluctant to intervene, but many of the high schools in the East Island country are private education groups, which are like independent kingdoms, making it difficult for the police to intervene forcibly. Even normal criminal investigations will inevitably be restricted because they involve minors.

This was the reason why Shiraishi threatened to organize an event at Teitan and even resorted to threats.

Even if it was Bai Shi, he would not be able to intimidate the board of directors of Teidan without any effort.

"Well! Thank you... Director Shiraishi, I feel that I now have the courage to face difficulties!" When Nishimura heard Shiraishi's words of encouragement, he nodded heavily.

But at this moment, a noisy sound came from the reception hall of the police station...

"Ms. Yingshan, I've already told you that this case has been closed. Please stop making trouble, okay?"

"What did you mean it was solved? You solved it in your own way again? You police officers have no idea what women really need! Where's Nishimura? I want to see her..."

"You can meet whenever you want? Your current behavior has affected our normal public order. I..."

"Masuyama Kenzo? The criminal is from the Masuyama Group, right? That's why you're keeping quiet?"...

Shiraishi looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Aso, the head of the General Affairs Department of the Life Safety Section, talking to a young lady.

This young lady named Sakurayama looked like a white-collar lady and was quite pretty, but her attitude was aggressive and seemed very offensive.

Aso, who is already middle-aged and has a bald head like a QR code, seemed helpless at this time.

When Sakurayama saw Kenzo Masuyama and others leaving in a car, he recognized their identities. It seemed that... they came here just for Nishimura's case?
At this time, the woman named Sakurayama also discovered Shiraishi and the Nishimura mother and daughter beside him - after all, Shiraishi was still very conspicuous.

"Hey, wait a minute..." Aso saw Sakurayama running towards the director and tried to stop him, but was pushed away by Sakurayama.

Seeing this, Shiraishi raised his hand to signal Aso not to stop her. Shiraishi also wondered what she was going to do.

However, Sakurayama ignored Director Shiraishi and said directly to Nishimura and her daughter, "Ms. Nishimura, right? Hello, I am Rika Sakurayama, the secretary of [For W]. We are an organization dedicated to women's rights. Don't worry, we will provide assistance to those who harm women. Don't worry about the threats from those people!"

Sakurayama handed over his business card...

Shiraishi also noticed a detail at this time. She seemed to have taken the wrong business card at first, and then changed to another one.

Although Mrs. Nishimura took it, she also said: "Thank you, but the matter has been resolved..."

"Ms. Nishimura, Mr. Nishimura, I know that you must have endured unnecessary pressure during this process, but don't worry, just leave all the pressure to me from now on, and I will definitely help you..." Sakurayama didn't seem to believe what Mrs. Nishimura said.

However, the introverted Nishimura bravely said, "Thank you, Sister Sakurayama, but Director Shiraishi has already solved it for us."

"Director Shiraishi?" Sakurayama looked at Shiraishi and continued to persuade him, "He's a man, he definitely doesn't know what we really need. At most, he wants to increase the financial compensation, right? Little sister Nishimura, what you need is more important..."

"No, Director Shiraishi did ask the other party to apologize sincerely!" Nishimura obviously didn't like Sakurayama's tone of questioning Shiraishi.

Upon hearing this, Sakurayama looked at her seriously, as if to make sure whether there was any reluctance. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then you can contact me if you have any problems in the future!" After that, he looked at Shiraishi with a frown, then turned and left without saying anything.

"Hey! Ms. Sakurayama, you are so rude. You..." Department Chief Aso also looked very annoyed at this time.

But Bai Shi stopped him, just looked at the other person's back as he left, and asked in confusion: "Who is this person?"

"Oh, Director... She is the secretary of the [For W] organization. This [For W] is mainly a public welfare organization that supports women who have been illegally assaulted in the workplace, family, or other social occasions. The headquarters is in Beika Town.

"Because of the nature of the organization, it has some contact with our Life Safety Division... In fact, the organization representative, Ms. Haseoka, is a good person. She has exposed many serious domestic violence and sexual harassment cases to us. It's just that this Secretary Sakurayama... Oh!"

Aso then explained that it seemed that Sakurayama was a more radical member of a non-profit organization for the protection of women’s rights?

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi nodded in understanding and roughly understood why the other party came to find Nishimura mother and daughter.

I think he heard from somewhere what happened to Nishimura, and that the perpetrator was the director of the Masuyama Group, so he was worried that the other party would "settle the matter", so he rushed to support him.

"I see..." Bai Shi didn't take it too seriously and just continued to send Nishimura and her daughter away.

Although this Sakurayama was not polite and seemed very extreme, talking about "these men" all the time, and didn't seem very smart, but...

If Shiraishi wasn't there, she and the Masuyama Group would really need to go to the "extreme" level!
After seeing off Nishimura and her daughter, Shiraishi also let go of the big conflict caused by this "small case".

However, what Shiraishi did not expect was that when he was getting off work, Ayako, who came to pick him up on her own initiative, actually brought up the related matter again!

"Xiao Hei...what was the matter with your previous contact with Teitan High School?" Ayako asked Shiraishi who was sitting in the passenger seat nervously.

"Hmm? Teitan High School... Oh, it's about legal publicity, right? There's nothing else to do." Shiraishi said casually.

Seeing that Ayako still looked worried, Shiraishi, although confused, still told her the general course of events.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ayako felt relieved, but... at the same time, she seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
