Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 216 Explosion Code
December 12rd, 23: in the morning.

Just after daybreak, Shiraishi received a photo sent by Huitani - Narcissistic. Flirting with an old lady at the apartment gate.JPG.

Shiraishi:……

Huigu would never report a colleague to his boss like this, but...

He couldn't stand the narcissistic behavior of the past two days any more - from sixty-year-old old ladies to sixteen-year-old minors, your "diet" is really wide!
Even Bai Shi had some doubts at this time...

Is this guy's skill really broken?

But at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Shiraishi's mind, and he jumped up from the floor involuntarily - although the guest room in the Atsumi family's house was large, it did not have such a long bed.

"I see..." Bai Shi looked at the photos sent by Huigu and finally completed the last piece of the puzzle in his mind.

Now, the kidnapping case, which was originally shrouded in mystery, appeared clearly in Bai Shi's mind in another form.

Then, the news that Bai Shi had been waiting for finally arrived!

Takei didn't make the call himself, but a detective from Shiraishi's department reported to him privately...

The "team" operated for a whole night and finally found Aida in a warehouse - the Sakaki team was really planning to "sink the body in Toudou Bay", but fortunately, before they took action, the team found this place in the name of checking for banned drugs.

Even when Aida was caught, he had already been stabbed and was sent to the hospital with serious injuries...

The reason he was able to go to the hospital alive was thanks to another person who was also arrested - a male high school student!
That’s right, yesterday Kudo Shinichi followed the clues and found Yayoi Aida, who had investigated and interviewed the “Mikumo Life Insurance Suicide Case”.

Although there are no "scientific props" now, with my quick mind and physical strength at the level of a "top-notch football student in high school", I finally managed to get a "team" to come and investigate!
and……

The "high school boy" was soon taken away by Megure.

Shiraishi felt like he was traveling through time for a moment - the newcomer was Mang, and it was like he was dreaming back to the time many years ago when violent organizations were still growing wildly!
……

At breakfast, Shiraishi and other police officers ate bread in the work hall, while the two big stars who actively cooperated were treated and had dinner with Atsumori.

However, when Atsumi Ryuzo heard the news that Kanzaki Hitomi was listening to, which reported that the Sakaki Group had been raided and multiple pieces of evidence had been found, he couldn't help but remind her in a bad mood, "Don't listen to the radio while eating."

Of course, Hitomi was very responsive when it came to Congressman Atsumori.

At this moment, Uno was surprised after receiving a call from Megure: "What? That young man said he already knew the truth? Wait, what does this 'truth' mean? Does it include the location of the hostages?"

Yuno was surprised at first, and then quickly determined the most crucial information - the kidnapping case was not a homicide case, and the most important thing was not the identity of the criminal, but whether the hostage could be rescued and the criminal could be caught!

"That's what Kudo said..."

As Megure was talking on the phone, Shinichi's voice came from the door: "That's right, let me answer them one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Uno glared at the two detectives guarding the door - Takagi from the third department, Isshiki from the fifth department... These two people in charge of guarding the door can only be said to be better off with a husky on their back.

"Shin-chan! Where did you go last night? How did you get injured?" Yukiko said anxiously with some complaints.

At this time, Shinichi still had gauze on his face and was obviously injured.

Bai Shi looked at him with great interest...

Since he was able to find Yayoi Aida last night, I believe he has indeed deduced some things, but I don’t know whether it is complete or not!

"Let's not talk about this for now...I already know the identity of the kidnapper." Shinichi smiled awkwardly at his mother and said seriously.

"What? Who is it?" Atsumori asked hurriedly.

"Ichihara Taiga, does Councillor Atsumi still remember this name?" Shinichi said, staring at Atsumi Ryuzo.

"Ichihara Taiga?" Atsumi thought about his enemies, but he couldn't remember this person at all.

"No wonder, it was eight years ago after all... Mr. Ichihara was the first of more than 30 employees of Mikumo Life Insurance who committed suicide in the past eight years!
"For a long time, Mikumo Company has been mentally controlling, humiliating, restricting sleep, and even directly harming employees, causing dozens of people to commit suicide and hundreds of people to suffer from mental problems. However, these complaints were eventually suppressed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare..."

Kudo Shinichi did find out some things, but...

"Enough! Kid, is that all you want to say? I'm not interested in what you say. Just tell me where Xiaoshu is and who the criminal is!" Atsumori interrupted rudely.

"Not interested? But when you were having dinner with officials from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, didn't you introduce President Mikumo to them and tell them that the rapid development of Mikumo Life was the result of their enthusiastic spiritual education of members, and that you were also very much looking forward to the future?" Shinichi revealed directly.

Yukiko sighed helplessly - it seemed that Shin-chan had not yet learned the more crucial skills... The scene was completely silent!
Atsumori had a stern face, but still looked fearless. The police officers at the scene, including Uno, kept their heads down and remained silent.

They can't control this matter, but it's hard to admit that they can't control it...

"So what? You can ask a few police officers if this is illegal?" Atsumi took the initiative to ask.

Atsumi asked the butler to light a cigarette for him while continuing to speak out: "It is a blessing for the members to work hard for the company, and it will enhance international competitiveness. The people are united, working for the same goal and eliminating egos. This is the tradition that makes this country strong!"

Bai Shi sneered at the side - it was just a different time. If it were thirty years ago, this kind of right-wing explosion would be punished by heaven...

"This may not be illegal, but officials from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare have repeatedly ignored complaints against Mikumo. At least they were influenced by some force and did something illegal, and even... lives have been lost because of it!" Shinichi said naively.

That is indeed the case, but...

He might be able to convince some ordinary murderers, but it is impossible to influence these politicians who kill without bloodshed with words.

"Enough! Kid, you want to be a detective, right? Is it the same kind of reasoning without any evidence in your father's detective novels? That's really disappointing." Atsumi sneered. Now he has determined that this kid is here to provoke him!
Shinichi didn't seem to expect that someone could be so self-righteous even at this point.

"But... I have already found what was hidden by the Sakaki Group, and the complaint has been kept. As long as those grassroots officials are caught, they will naturally report up the chain of command, and we will find out..." Shinichi continued in an innocent voice.

But it wasn't a waste of effort. At least the beating he received last night was not in vain. Not only did he save Aida, but he also found the things that the Sakaki group had "destroyed".

"Those idiots..." Atsumi sneered. He obviously realized that the guys from the Sakaki group still wanted to keep something on him, but he was not in a hurry at all.

"So... you are still a child! Who would betray me? And the so-called bureaucrats must have foresight that the ants don't have! They are just some idiots who don't work hard enough. Who will care about them? Their 'black' is 'white' to us!" Atsumi scolded directly.

"What you call foresight... are you referring to Mikumo's six large remittance records?" Shinichi found a lot of things.

"Those are normal consulting fees. If you're so interested, just call the police and let the Second Investigation Division investigate! Now... have you found any clues about the criminal?" Atsumori angrily scolded the police officers on the scene.

Uno, who had been afraid to speak and pretending that he was not there, reported: "I'm sorry, we have checked the area around the apartment, but..."

But after the criminal left the house, it was as if he had disappeared out of thin air!

"Kid, so you mean to say that the criminal is the family of that Ichihara? What a troublesome guy... If you know this, can't you find the location?" Atsumi continued to scold the police officers.

Facing a high school student, he didn't know how to vent his anger - after all, his father was Kudo Yusaku, a great writer and public figure, so Atsumi couldn't do anything.

"This...we will try our best!" Yuno said with his head down.

"Hmph, don't let people say you are tax thieves!" Atsumi said, then walked away.

"Actually, Ichihara's daughter..." Shinichi seemed to have something to say to Uno at this time, but Shiraishi just grabbed him by the back of the collar and carried him out.

"You little brat, you are so rude! Councillor Uno, Councillor Atsumori, don't worry, I will teach him a lesson right away!" Shiraishi said, ignoring Shinichi's struggle and directly carried him out.

Well, even if he is not "Conan" yet, it would be easy for Shiraishi to carry him...

even……

Yukiko not only did not stop him, but smiled and said to Shinichi: "Shinichi, don't be willful!"

Shinichi enjoyed Conan's treatment in advance, and... this time, when only the "core trick" was left to be revealed, he was forcibly dragged out and almost suffocated to death!
Only after he was dragged out did he finally speak: "I already know that Xiaoshu is..."

"You don't know." Bai Shi said directly.

"Eh?" Shinichi was stunned when he heard that.

"You don't know anything at all. Go home and do your homework!" Bai Shi dismissed him directly.

Shinichi was more certain of this...

Did he know about this, too?
But why...

Shinichi had a vague feeling that he seemed to have missed some important clues, but Shiraishi knew more!
Of course, more importantly, Shinichi didn't think Xiaoshu was in any danger at this time, so he followed Shiraishi's words and didn't say anything else, but he kept observing the progress of the case...

Shortly after Shinichi finished his innocent speech, Atsumi's family received a call from the kidnappers!
