Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 167 Silence?

July 12, night.

Waki received a call from Minobe's office - because Itsuki, whom Minobe supported, had withdrawn from the election on biological grounds, so in order to avoid losing his seat, Minobe decided to support Waki ​​Kojiro as the heir and inherit all of Itsuki's electoral resources... including the sympathy votes brought by Itsuki's death!

The secretary of an island politician is essentially a deputy or successor. After being humble for a while, Wakata expressed his loyalty to Minobe.

With the support of Minobe and the death of Gokitani, the seat of Ribara is already in his hands!

After hanging up the phone, Rib muttered to himself, "It works! Those people... really didn't lie to me! It's worth it... Haha!"

That’s right, Riba has joined the “Black Organization”.

The "Black Organization" also promised that as long as he killed Gokitani and sent the evidence to the "Black Organization", they would find a way to support him to become a member of Congress...

After receiving this call, Rikuya was certain that they really had this ability, but he didn't know whether they had indirectly influenced Minobe, or... had a deeper connection with Secretary-General Minobe?
But no matter what, Rikyu is ready to fulfill his promise. Otherwise, not only will the "Black Organization" not trust him, but... Rikyu doesn't dare to try the revenge capabilities of those guys!
So, on December 12nd, early in the morning.

Rib took a tennis ball that he hadn't used for a long time and set off back to the venue where the crime occurred. He also climbed over the wall and entered the banquet hall.

Looking at the seal in front of him, Rib carefully tore it open, making sure no fingerprints were left.

However, just after Rib entered the banquet hall, he did not expect the lights to suddenly light up, which scared him.

Seeing that Shiraishi Kuro was the only one at the scene and was turning off the power, Ribara forced himself to calm down...

"I didn't expect it was really you... Secretary Ribara." Shiraishi said specifically at this time.

Although Furuya Rei had previously told Shiraishi that Wakikojiro was the only person besides Shiraishi who could do this, Shiraishi still pretended not to know about it.

Because I have to hide the identity of Rei Furuya!
After discovering that Shiraishi had also found the truth and evidence, Furuya Rei decided to leave, leaving it to Shiraishi Kuro to uncover the murderer - when he left, he specially sealed the place from the outside again.

After all, Furuya Rei didn't want to meet with Wakaba, and at the same time...

Once Riki hands the things over to "Bourbon", that is, reveals his identity to "Bourbon", Furuya Rei can no longer arrest him, otherwise he will risk being suspected by the organization.

Why not let Bai Shi do it!
In this way, when Bourbon still doesn't know who the other party is, Shiraishi solves the murder case and can hide Furuya Rei.

As for the police...

It’s best if the police don’t intervene in this matter!
Otherwise, the organization would also suspect that someone had leaked the information to the public security. That's why before, only Kazami was dispatched from the public security side as the Security Bureau of the National Police Agency.

After all, for the public security, it is not worth it to expose the undercover agent just for Gokitani!
"Director Shiraishi, what are you talking about... I'm really sorry for coming back without permission, but... I just came to get my wallet." Riku said apologetically at this time - in order to save himself a chance, he did deliberately leave his wallet in the taxi.

"Oh? Aren't you here to get this?" Shiraishi had already reached the back of the billboard behind the podium and pointed to the ceiling.

This is exactly where the secretary threw the syringe up before, and he did so under the cover of the advertising board, straight up and straight down.

Secretary Rib pretended not to see anything at this time...

"That's it!" Shiraishi said, pulling out an evidence bag from his arms. Inside was the syringe that Shiraishi had just climbed up and taken from the roof.

When Rib saw this, his face froze and he no longer had any hope of luck!

because……

There are really fingerprints on it!
The "Black Organization" wanted him to leave behind "the murder weapon with fingerprints" no matter how he killed people, and then hand it over to them, so that he could be considered "one of their own."

On the one hand, it was to control the ribs, and on the other hand, he was scared by the undercover!

The "Black Organization" obviously knew that there were undercover agents from other organizations within its ranks, and Gin had killed one of them not long ago.

No matter how undercover they are, they will not kill people for this reason. This is also to ensure that Wakikojiro is really not a good person...

Shiraishi originally just thought that the other party would most likely want to retrieve the murder weapon in order to prevent the police from discovering it during another search and classifying it as a "homicide." However, Furuya Rei confirmed with him that it was not "most likely," but that he would definitely come back to take the murder weapon!

"Bourbon" was the person sent by the Black Organization to retrieve the murder weapon he sent, so he knew from the beginning that there were fingerprints on the syringe.

Of course, Furuya Rei did not tell Shiraishi that he was an undercover agent. He only said that... he saw Kojiro Waki ​​throwing the syringe and he was not wearing gloves at the time.

"Huh? Judging from your reaction, the fingerprints on it are not really wiped off, right?" Bai Shi said deliberately.

Then seeing him holding the tennis ball, Shiraishi couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to... just use the tennis ball to smash this down?"

Rib's expression became serious at this time, and he stared at Bai Shi intently...

"You asked for this!"

I saw Rib suddenly throwing the tennis ball towards the evidence bag in Shiraishi's hand, and immediately charged towards Shiraishi!

Looks big...

It's just dead muscle! Ribs, you can do it, don't give up!
Bang! Snap! Snap! Crack! Crack... Duang...

……

When Megure received Shiraishi's call and arrived at the scene, his face was already bruised and swollen, but Shiraishi's tuxedo was not messy at all.

Since Souichi had already taken over the case and there was no opportunity for police officers to train, Shiraishi did not take the person to the Beika Police Station, but instead did Megure a favor.

Anyway, this guy can't be let go!
No matter whether they are taken back to Souyi or Mihua Police Station, they will be taken away by the police immediately.

"Brother Shiraishi, you really are...don't be so radical!" Megure already knew Shiraishi's process of solving the case.

In Megure's opinion, after Shiraishi discovered the murder weapon, he came back without saying a word and waited for the murderer, which was obviously not a normal investigative method.

"I didn't expect that this guy didn't wipe the fingerprints off the murder weapon, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome, hahaha." Bai Shi smiled deliberately.

"That's not the question I'm talking about... Never mind, thanks." Megure said, shaking his head helplessly.

He couldn't even discipline Bai Shi when he was under his command, let alone now!

"By the way, I'll accompany you to send him to the Metropolitan Police Department. This guy just said something like someone wants to silence him." Shiraishi said specifically at this time.

It is true that after this guy was caught, he became completely cowardly.

Even if he didn't say it, Shiraishi would protect him. After all, Furuya Rei had told him before that he must ensure his safety, which was very important for public security...

"Eh? Oh, okay." Megure was stunned when he heard this - he felt that this was unnecessary, but since Shiraishi said so, he did not refuse this kindness.

Megure didn't think that anyone would dare to openly attack the police convoy.

Because a special escort vehicle was brought here, it was spacious enough for Shiraishi, so he took the initiative to sit in the escort vehicle with Ribe!
"Bourbon" has also informed the organization at this time - if the examiner is really Wakikojiro, then he has failed the test and has been arrested.

The "Black Organization" immediately activated the backup plan...

Cohen and Chianti, a male and female sniper, were already waiting on the road between the venue and the Metropolitan Police Department!

"Gin, the police vehicles have appeared. Should we take action?" After seeing the police vehicles, Chianti confirmed with Gin who was in charge of the command via the radio.

"Well, try not to kill other people." Gin wanted to kill Kojiro and didn't want to overly stimulate the island police.

"Hey, buddy, you go left and I'll go right. After the person comes down, I'll hit his head and you his chest!" Chianti gave instructions directly to his partner Cohen.

Cohen, who was usually silent, did not refuse at this time.

Just as a line of police cars passed by, the two men aimed at the escort car in the middle and fired two shots...

……

squeak--

The escort vehicle lost control and slid sideways because both its left and right front tires were punctured, and it only stopped after hitting the car next to it!

In the back of the car, Bai Shi, who was resting with his eyes closed, was also "woken up" by being shaken.

"Here they come... They are coming... It must be them!" Wakikojiro was scared at this time and acted very cowardly.

"What's going on?" Bai Shi asked the driver at this time.

"Sorry, the tire burst suddenly." The driver was also puzzled. How could it be so unfortunate? And... how could two tires burst at the same time?
Upon hearing this, Shiraishi picked up the still handcuffed Wakikojiro and got out of the car.

"Here it comes, here it comes! Gin! Give the order quickly!" Chianti is the opposite of Cohen. As a sniper, she gets irritated too easily.

Seeing the people in the escort vehicle get off, the two snipers immediately aimed over, and at this moment...

Bai Shi suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and immediately looked in the direction of the sniper!
It was late at night, the distance was so far, and Chianti and Cohen were in the dark, so it was actually impossible to see them. However... Shiraishi was very sure that it was in this direction!
With Shiraishi's Level 10 [Spirit], there was no possibility of being sniped - Shiraishi noticed it immediately as the other party aimed at him.

For Shiraishi, long-range sniping is easier to dodge than close-range pistols...

For a close-range pistol attack, one must use the naked eye to judge the opponent's movements, and the opportunity to dodge is very short. However, for a long-range sniper attack, Shiraishi can also detect it immediately. Although the sniper rifle's bullet is fast, its path is too long, which gives Shiraishi more time!

Chianti and Cohen saw through the high-powered scope that the big police officer was staring at them. They were immediately confused - how far away was he? And I was so hidden and in the dark, how did you see me? What the hell?

Just as Gin was about to give the order, he heard Chianti shouting in a trembling and frantic voice: "Look at me... He's looking at me! Gin! The big guy is looking at me! Shoot? Shoot? Tell me quickly!"

Gin was closer at this time, observing the situation, and knew what Chianti was saying, so... after hesitating for a long time, Gin still ordered: "Put away the guns, retreat!"
