Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 181 22 Years Old From Now

"This is my son." Bai Ma introduced his son to Bai Shi.

It has only been a few months since Bai Matan returned to China, and this is the first time that Bai Shi has met this "son of a big leader."

"Hello, Officer Shiraishi, I'm Detective Hakuba. I've been in West Island Country before. I'm considered a well-known high school detective..."

As Detective Hakuba said this, he also wanted to introduce himself to Shiraishi - after all, he had heard of Shiraishi's name and knew that he was the chief of the police station. Although he was not as high-ranking as his father, but... only the chief would ask the detective for help when there was a case!

But before he could finish, Shiraishi interrupted him and said, "High school student Cosplayer? Not bad, not bad. You're cosplaying Sherlock Holmes, right?"

Shiraishi affirmed that his outfit of Nishijima-style double-breasted trench coat and deerstalker hat was simply carved out in line with the stereotype of a "Nishijima detective"!

White Horse: ...

"No, no, no, I'm not a Coser, I'm... forget it." After being squeezed out by Shiraishi, Bai Ma felt embarrassed to say that he was a detective.

"Hahaha, this kid is still very immature. Bai Shi, if you have the chance, you should beat him more." Bai Ma said with a smile.

Shiraishi is not his tutor...

It's called a "warning", but Bai Ma is indirectly reminding Bai Shi that his "dog son" may cause trouble for Bai Shi in the future, so Bai Shi should bear more responsibility.

Shiraishi even suspected that Director Hakuba knew that Detective Hakuba was a person who could not sit still, and he would probably interfere with police investigations soon...

Instead of interfering in cases of other police stations or the main office, it is better to interfere in the cases of the Rice Flower Police Station!

With Bai Shi here, at least we don't have to worry about Bai Ma Tan being spoiled.

After all, from the headquarters to the local police stations, there are indeed not many police officers who can remain unaffected after knowing that "he is the son of the Superintendent of Police."

"That's right, Xiaotan and I just came back and saw the news about Mr. Shiraishi... Don't stand here and talk, come in! I'll cook for you tonight!" Mrs. Alyssa invited politely.

but……

Bai Shi noticed that when Bai Ma and his son heard that Madam Elisa was cooking personally, their expressions froze subtly.

Bai Shi couldn't refuse anymore, so he stayed at Director Bai Ma's house for dinner.

It is true that Madam Alyssa cooked the meal herself, so from this point of view, it can be said to be a "homely meal", but...

Appetizer "Looking up at the stars", main course "Beef kidney pie", dessert "Fish and chips"...

Bai Shi was very touched by Mrs. Elisa's hometown dishes, and even felt like he was a real old Lundun.

Just after the meal, Bai Ba Tan turned on the TV and played the news that Shiraishi was concerned about: [The latest news, the famous female shogi player Nagai Chion was found dead in her apartment in Beika Town at 5 pm today. It is reported that Ms. Nagai was originally scheduled to be the recorder for the King's Tournament held today, but she was replaced midway because she could not be contacted. Regarding Ms. Nagai's death, the police have not yet disclosed more information...]

When Director Hakuba saw the news, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, Nagai is also an excellent shogi player and had the potential to challenge for the women's shogi title... What a pity."

Shiraishi's expression became serious when he saw this, and he whispered, "The apartment in Beika Town..."

As he spoke, Shiraishi took out his cell phone and searched it, and found... it was indeed an apartment not far from the scene of the "Maria Miyamoto death" crime.

Fujiya had previously suspected that Nagai Chion might have witnessed the murder on her way home and was threatened by the murderer!

I didn’t expect it to happen so soon...

"Although Nagai Tomoon has no title, she is a very famous chess player because of her personal style. Last year, she was the one-day director of the Beika Police Station... This case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the social impact will be very bad." Director Bai Ma said very pertinently at this time.

Shiraishi:……

If I hadn't come to eat at "Looking Up at the Stars", I would be supervising the case myself now!
Although Nagai is not as famous as the "Taiko Meijin" in the shogi world, beautiful shogi players are still very much discussed among the public, otherwise she would not have served as the one-day director of the Beika Agency last year.

"Then I won't keep you here for long. Go to the police station." Director Bai Ma said directly to Bai Shi.

"Don't worry, Director. Our department will solve the case as soon as possible." Upon hearing this, Bai Shi also stood up and said goodbye.

but……

Bai Shi had just walked out of Bai Ma's house when he found that Bai Ma Tan had followed him out.

"Director Shiraishi, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Bai Ma Tan, and I'm a detective!" Bai Ma Tan introduced himself in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll invite you next time there's a comic convention in Beika Town..." Shiraishi said perfunctorily as he opened the car door and got in.

"No, no, no, I'm a detective... not a Cosplayer!" Detective Bai Ma couldn't hold it in any longer and hurried over: "Chief Shiraishi, you have a difficult case right now, right? I can help..."

"Okay, help me watch the back. When you're about to get hit, raise your hand to signal me." Bai Shi decisively asked him to help him reverse out of the garage.

White Horse: ...

"The scope of the investigation is not limited to Beika Town, right? I can provide assistance in this regard!" Hakuba Tan had no choice but to say this reluctantly.

Hakuba Detective is very confident... one could even say he is conceited. Normally, he would not bother to rely on his title as the "son of the Superintendent General" to solve cases, but now...

Bai Shi obviously looked down upon his reasoning ability. If he didn't play an "irreplaceable" role, Bai Shi would probably ignore him!

After thinking for a while, Shiraishi said, "Get in the car." After getting in the car, Bai Matan sat for a while, and seemed to regain his confidence. He put on a handsome attitude and asked, "After returning to China, I found that the police officers in the East Island Country generally don't like detectives to intervene in cases. Unlike Scotland Yard, they are basically used to cooperating with detectives... Is Chief Shiraishi also the type who hates detectives?"

Shiraishi:……

Are there so many cases involving Lundun?

"Compared to detectives, I certainly prefer to let my police officers get training. Detectives are just ordinary people. It is not only unsafe to intervene in cases, but the compliance is also completely uncontrollable. If it weren't for Director Bai Ma's backup, I wouldn't let you get in the car." Shiraishi told the truth.

After hearing Bai Shi's direct answer, Bai Ma had nothing to say.

Instead, Shiraishi continued to ask, "What do you want to do in the future, Hakuba-san? Detective? Police officer? Or Cosplayer?"

"First of all... I'm not cosplaying! As for the future... I think, in the future, I should still want to be a police officer." Bai Ma Detective said, looking out the window deeply, showing the temperament of a "melancholy prince".

As expected, if there are too many adjectives, what you say will appear very profound.

"Then you'd better adapt yourself as soon as possible and stop looking at the case from a detective's perspective," Shiraishi reminded.

There is no need to remind Kudo Shinichi of this, because he never wanted to be a police officer!

"You're already starting to knock..." Bai Ma Tan complained.

"I'm going to take you through a simulation today. Remember, from now on, you are a criminal policeman who just graduated from high school, worked as a patrolman for two years, and was just transferred to the Criminal Division... and you're a 22-year-old non-professional who hasn't even passed the local civil service exam!" Shiraishi defined his role.

"Yes." Bai Ma Tan was afraid that he would drive him away, so he had to agree first.

"Detective Bai Ma, remember to wear professional attire next time." Bai Shi said with a stern face.

White Horse Detective: ...

Originally, Bai Matan was used to wearing Lundun, and thought that wearing a double-breasted coat and a deerstalker hat was also fine, but today he was ridiculed by Shiraishi at a high intensity, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Um... Chief Shiraishi, this doesn't seem to be the way to the Mihua Police Station, right?" Although Bai Ma Tan had just returned and was not familiar with the road, he knew how to use the navigation software.

"Well, let's go directly to Pink Holiday in Kamurocho." Shiraishi said confidently.

White Horse Detective: ...

"That... is the place I can go, right?" Bai Ma Tan asked hesitantly.

"Of course, Detective Hakuba!" Shiraishi emphasized.

White Horse Detective: ...

That’s why you let me “imagine” myself as being 22 years old, right?

……

Shiraishi casually brought 17-year-old Hakuba Satoshi to the nightclub "Pink Holiday" in Kamurocho, which was also the workplace of the first victim "Maria Miyamoto".

But Shiraishi...is not the first police officer from the Beika Police Station to come here today!

Although the Kamuro Police Station and the Sakaki Group behind the "Pink Holiday" are somewhat repulsive to the Beika Police Station, making it impossible for Beika Police Station officers to truly launch an investigation, but...

It's always possible to play in a private capacity!

Just like how Kuroki had taken advantage of his vacation to investigate the entertainment venues of the Arakawa Group as an individual...

This time, it’s Kuroki again!

When dealing with cases related to "violent organizations", Kuroki has always been very brave, and this time he did it as an individual... He even dragged his nominal brother Kanzaki to join him on the "Pink Holiday".

First, they called two hostesses for normal entertainment - of course, only Kuroki was having normal entertainment. Kanzaki, who had never been to such a place, just sat stiffly on the sofa, as if he was being tortured!
Seeing this, Hei Mu called another one over to attack his brother from both sides...

After the place heated up a bit, Kuroki took the opportunity of another penalty drink to ask the hostess: "Momo-chan, I heard from my friends that there is a Maria here... Who is she?"

"Eh? You're thinking about Maria already? But unfortunately...Maria has quit." Momo-chan said after a slight change of expression.

"Is that so? What a pity..." Kuroki looked regretful.

The hostess next to Kanzaki couldn't help but say, "Maria is always a gift-giver. This time, she must have gotten what she deserved! Your friend must have spent a lot of money on her, right? He can be happy this time."

"Nana!" Momo glared at her and stopped her from continuing.

At the same time, Kuroki and Kanzaki looked at each other...

However, no one noticed that the look in Momo's eyes when she looked at the two of them was also full of deep meaning.

Dongdong: I’ll make a small recommendation tomorrow and have a small outburst. There will be six updates tomorrow.
