Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 234 Edogawa Conan

After learning about the "roller coaster shaving incident", Shiraishi immediately drove to Dorobiga Park...

On the way, Bai Shi also figured it out - it was probably because of Ah Liang's [Oolong Power] that the original "murderer" had less murderous intent, so he only shaved his hair and didn't shave his "head" directly.

In this case, Shiraishi couldn't blame Kunikida for not informing him immediately...

After all, Shiraishi was at a commemorative event held by the Metropolitan Police Department, where he was honored by the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner and the Police Department Chief, and was receiving awards and giving speeches in front of senior police officers from all over Toto...

At a time like this, how could anyone possibly bother their leader over a case as minor as "a couple breaking up or a prank haircut"?
If the woman hadn't used a trap to make the case a little complicated, Kunikida wouldn't even have mentioned it when he saw Shiraishi!

But Bai Shi was worried at this time...

It’s true that Kudo Shinichi is here!

After all, [Oolong's Power] only "reduces the murderous intent" but does not eliminate it 100%. It is hard to say how much Gin will be affected.

Kudo Shinichi was drugged in essence to silence him and destroy the body at the same time.

If Gin had no intention of killing, he might have just beaten him up. However, if he had not reduced his desire to kill to the point where he did not want to, he might not have wanted to take the medicine and would have killed him with a knife!
Of course, Bai Shi rushed here because he was afraid someone might die, but on the other hand...

Shiraishi hopes to get gin and vodka!

No matter what capabilities the "Black Organization" has in secret, Shiraishi has a huge advantage when facing each other face to face.

As long as they can find a reason to arrest Gin, the organizational strength of the Black Organization will suffer a great blow.

Although Gin has also been used to sell real liquor, without Gin to suppress it, fake liquor will become more popular.

In Shiraishi's vague memory, he only knew that "Bourbon" was "Furiya Rei" and was a "fake wine" from the public security department. He didn't know the identities of the boss and the second-in-command, but...

In Shiraishi's impression, most members of the Black Organization don't actually know their own Boss and No. 2!

If Gin is captured, no matter how powerful the Black Organization is, it will be like having its central nervous system severed - the brain and cerebellum will no longer be able to control the limbs.

It can be said to be the most cost-effective way to weaken the Black Organization!

……

In a blink of an eye, Bai Shi arrived at the entrance of Dorobiga Park. It was already dark and most of the tourists were coming out of the park.

Bai Shi's stature was undoubtedly very conspicuous in the square in front of the gate. Just when Bai Shi wanted to go in and look for someone...

"Officer Shiraishi!" Xiaolan saw Shiraishi at a glance and hurried over.

Seeing Xiaolan's expression, Bai Shi already had a bad feeling in his heart...

"What's wrong?" Bai Shi asked quickly.

After hearing this, Xiaolan hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Officer Shiraishi, just now... Shinichi suddenly left, and I couldn't contact him afterwards. Is it... Is there a case in which the police need his assistance?"

Apparently Shinichi often does this, suddenly leaving in the middle of a trip and then going to help the police, but they can't find him anywhere.

However, the situation seemed a little different this time. Not only was the call missed instead of being hung up, but... Xiaolan always had a bad feeling in her heart!

It was just that she couldn't tell other people about her "premonition", so when facing Bai Shi, she still pretended to be calm and asked.

Bai Shi said inwardly: As expected!

"No, there's nothing wrong with the Beika Police Department, and I haven't heard anything about it from the General Office either... I'll ask for you." Shiraishi said, and symbolically made a phone call to Megure.

Of course, Megure has no idea where Kudo Shinichi is. So far, Souichi has not solved any cases at the scene. Although everyone is busy and has cases on hand, it is not the time for a detective to appear.

After hearing Shiraishi's answer, Xiaolan's face became even worse.

"Don't worry... Is there anything unusual with Shinichi recently?" Shiraishi asked soothingly.

"Recently... Shinichi has been in the news a lot and is very arrogant. I have also reminded him to be more low-key..." Xiaolan was obviously thinking in a bad direction.

"Don't be anxious. Think about it. Where does Shinichi usually go suddenly?" Shiraishi reminded.

"Usually... By the way! Shinichi sometimes goes to Professor Agasa, who is his neighbor. He usually makes some new inventions!" Xiaolan said quickly.

She was obviously desperate - it was true that Shinichi usually hung out with Dr. Agasa, but how could he go on a date with someone and suddenly go to see Dr. Agasa!

"Neighbor? Then... I'll take you to see him?" Bai Shi took the initiative to say.

Xiaolan has already found the entrance, and has also broadcast a missing person announcement in the amusement park before, so... Bai Shi estimated that it might be too late to go inside to look for someone now.

"Thank you, Officer Shiraishi!" Xiaolan didn't bother to be polite and didn't refuse.

Soon, Shiraishi drove Xiaolan to the Kudo family in Beika-cho 2-chome. As a world-class mystery novelist, Kudo Yusaku's house is really big and looks very luxurious...

However, at this time, all the lights in the mansion were off and it was pitch black, and it obviously didn't look like anyone was at home.

"The one in front, is Dr. Agasa's research institute." Xiaolan pointed the way to Shiraishi.

Compared to the courtyard of the Kudo family, which looks like the property of a wealthy landlord, Dr. Agasa's research institute is smaller and is obviously just a personal research institute. However, its shape is more eye-catching and does not look like an ordinary residence.

……

At the same time, Shinichi, who had just been knocked down by Gin and then drugged, finally got rid of the patrolman who wanted to send him to the nursery after his body became smaller, and returned to his home, where he ran into Dr. Agasa at the door...

After convincing Dr. Agasa that he was Kudo Shinichi, the two went into Kudo's house and changed him into his childhood clothes. At this time, they were thinking of a solution in Dr. Agasa's research institute!

After sorting out what was happening, the two reached the biggest consensus - things that had become smaller must be kept secret!
Firstly, that unknown organization has already shown its cruelty, and secondly, the effect of this drug...

Even Dr. Agasa, who is knowledgeable and often has great ideas, has never heard of this kind of medicine.

However, Dr. Agasa could also guess what this medicine meant!
Although the other party was trying to "silence" the witness, it was obvious that this thing was most likely poison, but...

Is it also possible to produce an instant anti-aging effect?

This doesn't seem like a simple side effect of poison...

"Your body... can actually shrink and reorganize instantly? Indeed, if you use this drug rashly, the greater possibility is that... your whole body will melt!" Dr. Agasa speculated.

"So Doctor, please make the antidote for me as soon as possible!" Shinichi urged.

"It's not that simple. I don't even know the basic ingredients of the medicine... or even the basic principles." Agasa was at a loss as to what to do.

Then Agasa paused and said, "But... I think this should be the effect that this drug wants to achieve, right? Once it involves 'eternal life', or 'extending life', then... I'm afraid there are many people involved in the political arena of East Island Country. From now on, your identity must be kept secret, and the police cannot tell it!"

Shinichi also knew that this was a serious matter, so he forced himself to calm down and nodded...

Just then...

Ding-dong-

"Dr. Agasa, are you home? Is Shinichi here with you?" Xiaolan rang the doorbell.

"Oh no! I didn't answer Xiaolan's call just now!" Shinichi was suddenly panicked - of course he couldn't answer the phone with his current voice.

"Let me take a look... Eh? There's no lock..."

There was a click of the door opening, and... it was Shiraishi's voice that came!

"Dr. Agasa, are you there?" Xiaolan also came in at this time.

"Dr. Agasa!" Shinichi immediately looked over with a low complaint.

"I should have locked it... Hurry, hide first..." Agasa said hurriedly.

Xiaolan came over immediately. After seeing Dr. Agasa, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dr. Agasa, it's great that you are here. You didn't lock the door. I thought something had happened."

Bai Shi followed behind...

Of course it’s not that the door was not locked, but... Bai Shi secretly used the magic to open the door!
"Ah...ah! Then...maybe I forgot? Hahaha, it's a good thing you came here, Xiaolan...what happened?" Dr. Agasa was obviously not very good at lying. At this time, he looked around and looked very suspicious.

"This must be Dr. Agasa, right? I'm the director of the Beika Agency. I'm looking forward to your guidance in the future." Shiraishi took the initiative to greet him.

In fact, there were several activities in Beika Town, and Shiraishi had the opportunity to meet Dr. Agasa. After all, Dr. Agasa was also a celebrity in Beika Town. However, before that, either Agasa's research reached a critical moment or Shiraishi was stuck in a case, and this was the first time the two met face to face.

"Director Shiraishi! I've heard of you for a long time, and I finally meet you today..." Agasa also said hurriedly.

Shinichi was just standing by when he heard Shiraishi's voice. He couldn't help but lie down behind the table even more nervously, not daring to move.

but……

"Hmm? Is this kid a relative of Dr. Agasa?" Shiraishi pointed directly at "Little Shinichi" behind the table. Agasa, Shinichi: !!!
Too high!
This guy is too tall, and his perspective is completely different from that of "humans". He directly looks down at the hiding Conan!

"He, he is..." A layer of sweat suddenly broke out on Agasa's big nose.

"Hmm? Relatives?" Xiaolan looked over in confusion, and then...

"Ah!" Xiaolan exclaimed when she saw "Xiao Shinichi".

Oh no! -- Shinichi felt a chill in his heart.

After all, he and Xiaolan are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other since they were three years old, and he is exactly the same now as he was when he was a child.

"What a cute boy... Hmm? You look like Shinichi when he was a child..." Xiaolan picked up Shinichi directly.

Before Shinichi could breathe a sigh of relief, he was immediately attacked by the facial cleanser. Just when he was "excited", he looked up and saw Shiraishi looking down at him with a scrutinizing look, and his heart suddenly sank again...

After his thoughts changed several times, Shinichi was speechless.

"He... By the way, he is a relative of the Kudo family! Because his parents are in the hospital, he is temporarily staying with me, hehe..." Dr. Agasa immediately found an excuse.

Anyway, the Kudo family is indeed very familiar with him, so this explanation makes sense.

"I see...what's your name?" Xiaolan asked in a coaxing tone.

"My name is...that...Edogawa...Edogawa Conan!" Shinichi was so nervous that he directly combined his favorite author together.

Shinichi... no, Conan's mind was now mostly on Shiraishi!

"Conan? I see. Your parents also like reasoning, right?" Xiaolan always heard Shinichi mention it, so she naturally knew this name.

and……

Xiaolan didn't know why, but after seeing "Conan", her uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

"By the way, Dr. Agasa, has Shinichi contacted you?" Xiaolan turned to Agasa for confirmation.

"Shinichi...yes! Conan originally came to Shinichi for help, but he seemed to have some case to deal with, so he left in a hurry." Agasa said with a stiff face.

"It's just like that! Shinichi, really... that crazy detective..." While Xiaolan was completely relieved, she also complained angrily.

Crazy detective?
Agasa suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, I really don't know how to take care of children. I usually eat fast food... Xiaolan, can you take care of this child?"

"Eh? This... of course." After a moment of hesitation, Xiaolan agreed readily.

"Hey..." Conan quickly pulled Dr. Agasa over and whispered, "Dr. Agasa, what are you doing? Isn't it that Xiaolan can't know..."

"Don't worry, you've seen Xiaolan's reaction. No normal person would ever think that you are Shinichi's... and since you want to investigate that organization, then... Xiaolan's father is a detective, you can use this identity to cover it up!" Agasa said very reasonably.

Agasa paused and confirmed, "Or... do you believe Director Shiraishi? You can also ask him..."

Agasa has heard Shinichi mention "Director Shiraishi" several times. Although he was unconvinced and complained every time, Agasa, who knows him, understands that Shinichi still has some respect for the abilities of this "Director Shiraishi".

"Of course not! Why did he send Xiaolan here at this time... this guy..." Conan said - I don't trust him! I was attacked in Dorobiga Park in his jurisdiction just now, and he brought Xiaolan here...

It's more than just "distrust". If it weren't for Shiraishi's previous actions, which made him a "police officer with a strong sense of justice" in Shinichi's mind, then just based on the timing of Shiraishi's appearance now, Conan would have to "be certain that he is an accomplice of the mysterious organization"!

"What's wrong?" Xiaolan looked at Conan and Dr. Agasa who were talking in a low voice, puzzled.

At the same time, Bai Shi said, "Hmm? Smaller? You mean..."

Conan and Dr. Agasa's faces immediately turned green - What's your hearing?
Conan immediately reacted. It seemed that this guy's ears not only had a wide range of reception frequencies, but his sensitivity to volume was also beyond that of normal people!
"Huh? What?" Xiaolan looked at Shiraishi in confusion.

"Ahhh! No, that..." Conan frantically tried to interrupt Shiraishi, and was so anxious that he almost jumped up and hit his knee!

Dr. Agasa also said quickly: "Oh, right! Director Shiraishi, actually... I also have some security issues that I want to ask you for advice!"

As Dr. Agasa said this, he hurriedly pulled Shiraishi into the inner room...

In terms of strength, even if Agasa pulled Shiraishi's hand hard and Conan pushed Shiraishi's calf from behind, he couldn't move. However... Shiraishi was only half-hearted at this time, obviously wanting to see what they would say.

In fact, Shiraishi did not want to "expose" him directly. After all, the enemy was in the open while we were in the dark. If there was a chance to directly interrupt the central nervous system of the "Black Organization", Shiraishi would not show mercy. However, it would be too stupid to stand up directly when he knew that the "Black Organization" might have allies everywhere.

Xiaolan was left where she was, tilting her head with a puzzled expression.

……

"Director Shiraishi, um...actually..." Dr. Agasa was still trying to organize his words.

"Shiraishi...Officer, why are you with Xiaolan?" Conan asked directly.

What Conan is most worried about now is the timing of Shiraishi's trip to Dorobiga Park - what a coincidence... Are you going to "clean up" for those two men in black?
"Huh? Are you really Kudo Shinichi?" Shiraishi then lifted him directly in front of him - as expected, his weight had also decreased!
"Put me down!" Conan struggled.

"Director Shiraishi, actually..." Agasa, who was standing aside at the moment, quickly explained.

The process was indeed similar to what Shiraishi "knew"!
"I see... a mysterious organization wearing black clothes... hmm..." Shiraishi nodded in understanding and put Conan down.

"You... just believe it?" Conan looked at Shiraishi with even more suspicion - Dr. Agasa knew his childhood self, and he had to spend a lot of time and effort to make him believe it. Xiaolan's first reaction was just "a bit similar", and she didn't think "Shinichi, why did you become smaller" at all... This is normal.

How could anyone so easily believe that there is such a medicine in the world?

In this regard, Bai Shi had already thought of a reason...

"I noticed their existence a long time ago. I heard that they appeared in Dorobiga Park, so I wanted to try to catch them. But I was still a step too late." Shiraishi said, shaking his head regretfully.

"You know them? That means... the police have actually already set their sights on them?" Conan said, with an expectant look in his eyes.

At this time, Conan probably still felt that as long as the police kept an eye on them, everything would be fine soon!
but……

"As for the police... well, that depends on how you define 'police'... Most police officers don't know about them. I only discovered a secret organization by chance when I was cracking down on violent organizations in the past, and I don't even know their name.

"However, a few confidential departments do have clues about them, but...some departments may have their insiders." Bai Shi said briefly.

Bai Shi didn't lie when he said this.

Given the widespread reach of the "Black Organization", how could Shiraishi not have been exposed to it when dealing with those top violent organizations in the past?
Conan's heart sank when he heard this - at this time he didn't know the scale and influence of the Black Organization. After all, he had only met two people. What Shiraishi said was undoubtedly far beyond his psychological expectations.

"So you want to hide your identity and fake your death... Well, that's also a way. After all, even I don't know who in the police force can be trusted. I only know that they must have their people in the top positions." Shiraishi thought for a moment and then said with confirmation.

Letting Kudo Shinichi reveal his cards means confronting the "Black Organization" head-on, which is obviously not cost-effective for Shiraishi. After all, the enemy is still "hidden" and Shiraishi cannot "reveal" himself.

Moreover, in terms of responsibilities, Shiraishi is only the "Chief of the Police Department", not the Superintendent of Police or the Chairman of the Public Security Commission, so there is no need for him to put himself in the front. For Shiraishi, the "Black Organization" can only be regarded as "one of the potential enemies."

In this case, it's a good idea to leave a "Conan" outside as a hook.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with what Dr. Agasa and Shinichi had thought before. It was one thing to see Xiaolan slapping her thigh in anxiety, but in fact, Kudo Shinichi's current condition should not be exposed.

After all, the Black Organization dared to fly armed helicopters to strafed the Dongdu Tower, so isn't it a piece of cake to silence them?
Since he missed the opportunity to arrest Gin and Vodka directly, Shiraishi became conservative.

"So... Director Shiraishi, can you help me fake my death? Even if you don't announce the death, at least you can send these back... Well, according to that guy's prediction, after I drink this medicine, my whole body should... dissolve?" Conan said, taking out the clothes he had just changed and handing them to Shiraishi.

This is the clothes Kudo was wearing when he was knocked unconscious. From Agasa's point of view or common sense, even if this drug can dissolve a person, the clothes should be left behind!

Conan had no choice but to run back wearing these ill-fitting clothes. Now he hopes Shiraishi can help him finish it...

"Easy. After sending him to the park, ask the patrol police to go out and spread some photos and 'rumors' on the Internet." Bai Shi nodded - at the same time, he also understood that in addition to confusing the "mysterious organization", this kid might also have the intention of testing him.

After all, from Conan's perspective, Shiraishi is not "completely trustworthy", he may still be an accomplice of those people!
……

"Huh? Dr. Agasa, what happened?" Xiaolan asked with concern when she saw the three people coming back.

"It's nothing, probably just a prank." Bai Shi took the initiative to say.

This place is not far from the Maori Detective Agency. Xiaolan took Conan back directly, and Shiraishi went to Dorobiga Park again...

Soon someone called the police, saying that a set of clothes and...unidentified red slime were found in Dorobiga Park!
The Mihua Police Department immediately dispatched police to collect evidence, but when the patrol officers arrived at the scene, they found that it was just dye, and it was obviously a prank, but...

Because a curious person took a picture of this scene, it became a popular urban legend.

Originally, the matter should have ended like this. The Mihua Agency would not refute rumors of this magnitude - after all, there are plenty of bizarre urban legends, and if they don't make a big deal, there's no need to refute them one by one!

however……

What happened next complicated things.

The "Dolobiga Park Blood-stained Clothes Incident" actually became the starting point for many subsequent "Blood-stained Clothes Disappearance Incidents"...
