Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 120 I'm Looking for Your Mom
The current situation is not so much that "Yuan alarmed the enemy during the conversation" as it is that...

After sensing the temptation, Hisahiko Saegusa behaved unscrupulously. Not only did he not continue to hide it, but he became more aggressive!

Contrary to everyone's expectations during the case discussion meeting, Sanzhi was far more "arrogant" than imagined.

Or maybe he wanted to be more "confident" about his alibi. He originally wanted to test him during the mediation and let him make a mistake out of guilt. But who knew that after he noticed something, he would just speak out directly!
Although this behavior made the police officers of the Beihua Police Station think that he was more suspicious, but...

Instead, you won’t make mistakes out of panic!

As long as his "alibi" is not overturned, no amount of subjective suspicion will be of any use.

After speaking arrogantly, Sanzhi Naohiko turned around and left, but...

Seeing a "wall of flesh" coming towards him, Sanzhi Shangyan also paused, but then he said viciously: "You are Chief Mika, right? I hope your police officers can be less malicious when treating victims, and not listen to the nonsense of the thugs...

"When that person committed suicide, my alibi was approved by Deputy Director Zhu Xing. If your agency still has any doubts, I will report it to Deputy Director Zhu Xing!"

After Sanzhi finished speaking, he walked around Bai Shi and left.

The experienced Sanzhi certainly understood that the lower-level police officers might not care, but some senior police officers of a certain level would not ignore Deputy Director Moroboshi.

But… what Sanzhi didn’t expect was that after hearing his “threat”, Shiraishi turned around and called him: “Mr. Sanzhi.”

Upon hearing this, Sanzhi stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Shiraishi with a stern face.

Shiraishi said calmly: "If you can contact Deputy Director Zhuxing, you can tell him that I doubt your alibi. If he has anything to explain, he can contact me."

Sanzhi:? ? ?
Sanzhi was stunned when he heard this - Are you the Director of the Beihua Police Department, or the Director General of the Metropolitan Police Department, or the Chief of the National Police Agency? Why does it sound like Deputy Director Moroboshi is more than two levels younger than you?
"I'll pass it on!" Sanzhi said sullenly, then turned and walked away, his steps becoming even more hurried.

"Director..." Yuan looked worried and guilty upon seeing this.

"It doesn't matter. If 'this side' doesn't work, then let's try 'the other side'." Although Bai Shi's tone was not relaxed, it was full of strong confidence, and Yuan's uneasiness was calmed down for a moment.

"Director Shiraishi, Deputy Director Moroboshi is not so easy to talk to." Ebihara also rushed over at this time, but only saw Shiraishi's "harsh words".

and……

"This side" should refer to the "death case of Tani Shigetoshi", then "the other side" is obviously the "murder case of Ono Miki".

This "over there" is obviously much more difficult to deal with than "this here"!
"Even if I don't say anything, he will definitely tell Deputy Director Zhuxing...it's better to put pressure on them." Shiraishi spread his hands.

Ebihara:......

"You're really open-minded." Ebihara rolled his eyes. "They" also included Deputy Director Moroboshi, right? What kind of "upward management" is this?
"Chief Ebihara, I'll leave the matters in the police station to you... I'll go out for some public relations in the afternoon." Shiraishi said directly.

"Eh? I have no problem with that, but..." Ebihara was not afraid of doing some last-minute work before retirement, but he was a little uneasy about Shiraishi's "public relations content."

But Bai Shi didn't explain anything at this time.

……

Teitan High School, lunch break.

Yuanzi turned her chair around and ate lunch with Xiaolan, while gossiping about who in the next class seemed to like who...

Just then, Sonoko's cell phone vibrated.

"Huh?" After seeing the incoming call alert, Yuanzi couldn't help but feel confused.

"Who is it?" Xiaolan was puzzled at first, then deliberately joked: "Ah! It can't be Yuanzi, you have already..."

"It's my brother-in-law..." Sonoko said as she answered the phone.

When Xiaolan heard that it was Officer Shiraishi, she stopped playing around, but...

"Hello, brother-in-law... um? Yes, he is here... ah? Oh... OK." Sonoko handed the phone to Xiaolan in confusion and said, "My brother-in-law said... please answer the phone."

"Huh? Officer Shiraishi? Me?" Xiaolan was also puzzled when she heard that. What could Officer Shiraishi want to talk to me about?
Shinichi, who was chatting and laughing with the boys, immediately pricked up his ears and paid close attention to Ran who was answering the phone...

"What does that guy want to do with Xiaolan?" Shinichi muttered to himself.

Xiaolan was also surprised: "Eh? Is it... okay... this afternoon? Okay... let me ask..."

Shinichi:? ? ?
"That Director Shiraishi, isn't he asking you out? Uncle Mori is getting anxious!" Shinichi had come closer at some point and startled Xiaolan, who had just handed the phone back to Sonoko.

"Ah...what did you say! Why did Officer Shiraishi ask me out...he asked my mother out!" Xiaolan said as a matter of course.

"Oh, it's Aunt Eri... huh?" Shinichi first breathed a sigh of relief, then...

Why do I feel that Uncle Maori should be more anxious? ...

That’s right, the person Shiraishi wanted to “publicize” this afternoon was…lawyer Eri Kisaki!

The reason is simple. After paying special attention to the news about the application for retrial, Shiraishi saw the name "Hiki Eri" among the legal team.

In the case of Miki Ono, Hiroyuki Majima, who was considered the murderer, came from an ordinary family and had no money to fight such a huge lawsuit.

However...because he committed suicide in prison not long ago, and the fact that he has been seeking justice and even refused parole and refused to plead guilty was also disclosed by the media, so many lawyers took the initiative to contact Majima's father.

Whether they were seeking fame or justice, Majima's father was certainly willing to accept it...

Afterwards, these lawyers formed a "legal team" - it was not led by a certain law firm or a certain lawyer, but by multiple lawyers!
The most influential among them is Shiraishi's "old acquaintance" - Miki Law Firm. In the previous gas station manager murder case, it was the dispute between Miki Law Firm and Kumimon that made the process full of twists and turns.

Sanmu Law Firm is also a well-known large law firm in Dongdu, and they are the most aggressive in hyping up overturning verdicts.

Although Eri Kisaki is also a well-known "beautiful lawyer" in the industry and has strong professional qualities, she is just a solo lawyer after all, and her reputation cannot be compared with those large law firms that employ three-digit numbers of lawyers.

It’s just that compared to Miki Law Firm, Shiraishi himself trusts Eri Kisaki more.

No matter how you look at it, Sanmu Law Firm is seeking fame and would like to be reported in the news 800 times a day. On the contrary, the lawyers who have little voice at this time are more likely to come for justice.

Among them, Eri Kisaki is not only capable, but also... Shiraishi has a channel to contact her, so he chose the school's lunch break, called Sonoko, transferred the call to Xiaolan, and Xiaolan contacted Eri Kisaki.

Xiaolan could also guess that Officer Shiraishi must be looking for her mother about a case, so she didn't ask much about it. She just sent Officer Shiraishi's phone number to her mother and briefly explained the reason.

"Did Director Shiraishi say what the case was?" Shinichi immediately asked curiously.

"No...you'd better focus on your studies!" Xiaolan rolled her eyes at her childhood sweetheart, knowing that he became excited after discovering a case.

"But it seems to be a commission that my mother is currently handling, not a case that has not yet been solved." At this time, Xiaolan wanted to extinguish Shinichi's curiosity.

After all, in Xiaolan's opinion, since her mother is already handling it, it should have reached the trial stage and the investigation has been completed!

In most cases, what lawyers have to do in criminal cases is often not to overturn the prosecution's charges and defend the innocence, but to strive to reduce the sentence. At most, they can defend the classification of charges. After all, the success rate of criminal case prosecution in East Island Country is 99.9%.

……

At the same time, Naohiko Saegusa also called Toshio Moroboshi - just as Shiraishi expected, whether he "spoke harshly" or not, Saegusa would definitely inform Deputy Director Moroboshi that he was being targeted by the Beika Agency.

"Deputy Director Moroboshi, that's what Director Shiraishi said... Do you want to..." Even though Sanzhi was talking to the microphone, he nodded and bowed, appearing to be very cautious.

"Oh, Director Shiraishi, huh? I see. Recently, some lawyers who are making trouble out of nothing have been applying for a retrial of the case. Let me confirm again, your testimony from that year... was not a lie, right?" Deputy Director Moroboshi's voice rang out.

Sanzhi paused when he heard this, then immediately said: "Of course! Every word is true!"

"Well, then there's nothing to worry about." Toshio Moroboshi said simply.

He was not planning to go to Shiraishi Kuro to say anything, and he also understood that people like Shiraishi Kuro would not be threatened by him.

After hanging up the phone, Sanzhi secretly cursed this "old fox" - Sanzhi herself couldn't believe that Moroboshi Toshio had never suspected that Sanzhi was lying!

However, Zhuxing did not make any agreement or discuss anything with him, it was just a tacit understanding.

……

The meeting between Shiraishi and Kisaki Eri was also very efficient!

After learning from her daughter's text message that Shiraishi wanted to talk about "the case she was applying for", Kisaki Eri immediately called Shiraishi and made an appointment to meet at a cafe at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Shiraishi was driving on the way to...

drip-

"The car in front, please stop."

A female police officer on a motorcycle honked her horn and stopped Shiraishi's car.

"Are you on your cell phone?" Yumi asked while knocking on the window.

Bai Shi rolled down the window and said helplessly, "There's nothing to see, right?"

"Don't talk back!" Yumi shouted, looking like she was going to give him a ticket, but after getting closer to the window, she whispered, "Hey... there's a car with a criminal license plate following you. What have you done wrong?"
