Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 214 Aida Yayoi’s request for help

December 12, night, Dongdi Hospital, inpatient department security room.

Shiraishi requisitioned a security room for himself and "interrogated" the tomboy in front of him alone - of course, it was an informal "interrogation".

It’s not that the “interrogation” used any informal means, but... it didn’t meet the standards at all!

Apart from anything else, the current time is already past 10pm, so legally speaking, interrogation cannot be conducted at this time. Not to mention, there is no record of any other police officers in the security room except Shiraishi...

This is also the reason why Shiraishi did not take her back to the police station!

If Kunikida knew that the director actually interrogated a suspect in this way, and even a minor, his few remaining hair would explode and he would jump up and argue with Shiraishi to the end.

Of course, Bai Shi had his own reasons for being so anxious and completely ignoring the process...

This tomboy appeared in the morning surveillance video, outside Atsumori Maki's ward... and Atsumori Maki seemed to be deliberately blocking her. All these indicate that she is related to the case, but Shiraishi can't figure it out for a while!
Compared to illegally interrogating an unidentified underage tomboy, questioning Atsumi Maki, a victim with a sensitive identity, would undoubtedly be more difficult.

"Name." Bai Shi asked, holding a pen and paper.

The tomboy simply turned her head to the side, pursed her lips and said nothing, obviously not intending to cooperate from the beginning.

Shiraishi:……

"Name!" Bai Shi used [Intimidation].

However... the result was just to make this tomboy sweat on her face... and she pursed her lips and said nothing!

Bai Shi could sense that, although the opponent was more mentally resilient than the average person, he was definitely not able to directly resist his [Intimidation], even if Bai Shi did not go all out...

It can be seen that the other party is determined and determined not to answer and to fight it out!
Bai Shi was not going to fully activate the [Deterrence] at this time, otherwise she would be scared to death, which would be a troublesome thing for Bai Shi.

Anyway, Bai Shi has his own way...

Bai Shi took out his cell phone and took a photo of her...

"Are you... a pervert?" The tomboy immediately revealed an expression of disgust mixed with fear.

After all, what she was wearing now was a nurse's uniform, and... because it didn't fit her well and she had been running at full speed before, it looked a little messy.

Shiraishi ignored her and even thought that this guy was a little too confident - what size are you, don't you know yourself? He actually dared to steal Oma Masako's uniform, and he was trying to win big with a small investment... His chest was sunken!

As for why Shiraishi took the photo, it was certainly not because he was "perverted", but because he wanted to send it to others...

Of course, it’s not sent to perverts!
Instead, it was sent to...Monobe Gina.

Although Shiraishi is not sure, but... seeing this tomboy stealing uniforms and running away when she sees a police officer, you can tell that she is not a serious person.

The criminal records of minors cannot be found without special procedures, but other juvenile offenders may know their “peers”!
As expected, Gina was still awake at this time and replied to the text message immediately.

【Gina: ???】

【Gina: Where did you go? 】

【Gina: She is still a minor! 】

Shiraishi:……

Okay, Gina obviously thought, this is some weird cosplay service.

[Gina: Do you like Sachiko's figure? ]

[Gina: Are you hinting at me? I won't wear that easily...]

[Gina (changed to a maid outfit avatar): Damn it! Don't think of me as such, I'm super aggressive! ]

While Shiraishi was distracted for a moment, Gina had already deepened the topic.

Before she could say anything shocking, Bai Shi interrupted her...

[Shiraishi: Sachiko? You really know her... Tell me her details. She is involved in a dangerous case now.]

Gina, who had already jumped out of the bed and was replying to messages with a red face, finally calmed down after seeing this sentence and went back into the bed.

[Gina: Case? She... actually went to the hospital to steal things? ]

Gina mentally condemned her for breaking the rules...

[Shiraishi: Can you tell me something useful? Do you know her family situation?]

[Gina: Not familiar, we just dropped out of school together. ]

Before Bai Shi could be disappointed, Gina added another sentence...

[Gina: I only know that her last name seems to be "Ichihara", and she is an orphan, but not a complete orphan, and she seems to have a grandmother... because I saw an old lady named Ichihara go to the police station to take her home.]

[Gina: And she doesn’t actually steal things, she just fights a lot…]

Gina was also asking for a favor - maybe the other person was really in trouble?
Ichihara…

When Shiraishi saw Gina's message, he was moved. "Ichihara Sachiko? Your grandma will be worried if you do this, right?" Shiraishi said directly.

Sachiko Ichihara:! ! !
What kind of black technology is this? It can identify it right away? What about the record of juvenile crimes that was supposed to be sealed? And I just fought, and there was no consequence, so there shouldn't be any record!

"I... don't know what you're talking about! I'm just... curious about the nurse's uniform!" Sachiko said calmly.

Shiraishi:……

I feel like your grandma is getting even more anxious...

"What I mean is... my dream is to be a nurse! That's why... this isn't a big mistake, right? I'm going to the youth class!" Sachiko said quickly.

"You seem to know quite a lot? But there's no young lady from the junior class today. Only this director is here to guide you!" In theory, Shiraishi can go to any class in the department.

"You... are not from the Tomisaka Police Station at all, right?" Sachiko actually knew which police station was in charge of this place.

Shiraishi:……

Not only is he not from the Tomisaka Police Station, Shiraishi is not even from the Fifth Area Headquarters. In theory, Shiraishi has no law enforcement power in Bunkyo Ward at all.

"I want to see a lawyer!" Sachiko started yelling when she saw the big guy was silent.

It can be seen that she understands, but not much...

"Okay, tell me your parents' contact information so I can notify them to hire a lawyer." Bai Shi said immediately.

It hasn't even reached the prosecution stage yet, so why are you still expecting the police to hire a lawyer to assist you?

Seeing that Sachiko was silent, Shiraishi said, "Besides... you stole the nurse's uniform in the hospital, but if you can't explain this, the Investigation Division will have to talk to you in person... those guys are not as kind as me!"

As Shiraishi spoke, he showed her the surveillance footage of the Mika Apartment and threatened her.

Sachiko was staring at him at this time, obviously... she didn't think that the police officers from the Investigation Section would be more vicious than this guy!
"I... this is not me! Even if it is really me, so what? Can't orphans live in Beika Apartment?" Sachiko retorted sharply.

"Don't use moral blackmail on me. I'm also an orphan, and no one in my family is left alive." Shiraishi fought back decisively.

Sachiko:……

Just then, Shiraishi's cell phone rang. After taking a look at the caller, he found that it was Yayoi Aida, who had been missing all day.

So Bai Shi went to the corridor to answer the phone first...

Because this female reporter asked me to keep the ticket for the press conference for some reason, but I didn't come, so Bai Shi didn't speak first. I thought she was going to apologize, but who knew...

"Excuse me...is this Director Shiraishi?" asked a somewhat nervous male voice.

"I'm Bai Shi, and you are?" Bai Shi frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"I am Hikoichi Aida, and Yayoi is my sister!" Hikoichi said quickly.

"What's wrong with your sister?" Bai Shi felt more and more that something was wrong.

"I don't know either... Director Shiraishi, my sister gave me her cell phone yesterday and told me... to send a text message to this phone every six hours. If I don't receive it, I will ask for help. Six and a half hours have passed!" Yan Yi said immediately.

"What? Has she been following any dangerous news recently?" Bai Shi asked immediately after hearing this.

If Yayoi Aida was in any danger, it would most likely be related to her profession. If it was just a simple stalker or something like that, she wouldn't go to so much trouble to entrust her brother.

"I don't know...but my sister said that she put important things in the locker at Beika Station, and the key is in her wallet at the lost and found office at Beika Park intersection!" Yanyi relayed what his sister told him to Shiraishi.

This is also why even though he was worried, he did not rush there himself - only Bai Shi could get things directly from the lost and found office without going through any formalities.

After Bai Shi put down the phone, he glanced at the security room again...

Obviously, Aida's side is more anxious, after all, there is real danger over there!

"I'll go check out the situation now. If there is any news about your sister, or if anyone else contacts you, please inform me immediately." Shiraishi instructed Aida Hikoichi.

Shiraishi vaguely remembered hearing from Aida Yayoi that her brother Hikoichi was also a reporter...

After hanging up the phone, Shiraishi called over Haitani and Zilian who had not left yet, and asked them to take Ichihara Sachiko to the Youth Division of the Beika Police Station, while he drove straight to Beika Station.

On the way, Shiraishi called the Beika Park police station and asked the patrolman on duty to bring the pink ladies' wallet that had been delivered there yesterday to the station.

Although this kind of lost property handling does not conform to the process, but...

No one would specifically ask the Director about the process!

……

Soon after, Shiraishi took the key from his wallet, checked the number, opened the locker, and found a folder.

Bai Shi did not hesitate and tore it open. When he saw the cover, he was stunned...

Shiraishi originally thought that Aida Yayoi was involved in some other dangerous case and wanted to rescue her first, but he only saw the words written on the cover of the first page...

Interview record of the suicide case of Mikumo Life Insurance employee!
Shiraishi immediately understood that Yayoi Aida's "disappearance" today was no coincidence, and he felt more and more that there seemed to be an invisible hand behind this case...

No, to be precise, it should be... the invisible "little hand" is quietly doing something, bypassing the big hand that truly controls the overall situation!
