Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 310 Unlucky Real Wine

"Huh? Shiraishi...Officer?" Ishikawa watched Shiraishi put the threatening letter in front of him and sniffed it, not knowing what was going on for a moment.

boom--

Shiraishi slammed the threatening letter on the table and immediately said, "President Ishikawa! Evacuate immediately!"

"Eh? But..." Ishikawa still didn't understand what was going on.

"The paper smells like nitroglycerin... Either the writer had a heart disease and happened to stick the medicine on it, or... this person was really making a nitroglycerin bomb while writing the letter!"

Although the aromatic smell of trinitrate was barely detectable, Bai Shi still smelled it!
Hearing what Shiraishi said, Ishikawa's face turned pale - after hearing the word "nitroglycerin", the president was about to have a heart attack!

Indeed, it is possible that the sender had a heart disease, but it is also possible that...

"Okay! I'll be there right away..."

Just as Ishikawa stood up, he heard...

boom--

There was a loud noise downstairs, and it was obviously too late!

The next moment, Bai Shiren jumped off the sofa and rushed out the door, leaving only one sentence: "Stay here and don't move!"

……

"Everyone, get out of the way! The danger of a second explosion has not been eliminated. Evacuate to the nearby streets. The staff of Mantang are checking the guest list. Everyone, please do not gather here, and do not leave yet!"

Bai Shi shouted as he rushed into the crowd.

Shiraishi was recognizable enough that no one doubted his identity, so everyone quickly made way for him, leading directly to the center of the explosion - the bathroom.

Although glycerin bombs generally do not have the risk of secondary explosions, Bai Shi still evacuated for safety reasons. After entering the bathroom, Bai Shi found that it had experienced a "demolition" level explosion. Not only was the bathroom empty, but even the non-load-bearing exterior walls were blown through, and...

No one else dared to come in, but in the dusty ruins, there was already a figure... a small figure!

Shiraishi didn't have time to scold Conan for barging in, so he quickly confirmed, "What happened? You were outside? How many people were here just now?"

Judging from the smell at the scene, someone was definitely killed, but Bai Shi couldn't tell how many people were killed!

"One... there was only one person in the bathroom when the explosion occurred. He was a member of the Black Organization codenamed 'Tequila'. He triggered the bomb when he opened the toilet door!" Conan said with a straight face.

"What?" Bai Shi was also stunned when he heard this.

Shiraishi originally thought that either the employees of Mantiantang were attacked indiscriminately, which meant that the threat letter came true, or that Nakajima was targeted, which meant that someone was using the "threatening letter" to divert the police's attention...

Who knew that Conan would actually tell him that the person who was killed in the explosion was a formal member of the Black Organization?

However, Shiraishi's reaction was just right - Conan had originally suspected that Shiraishi had hidden some clues about the "Black Organization" from him again.

In Conan's eyes, Shiraishi's reaction now seems as if he really didn't know that someone from the "Black Organization" would come. Otherwise, Conan might really suspect that Shiraishi has an informant in the "Black Organization"!
"I just happened to hear him making a phone call. The person on the other end should be Gin... He should have traded some information with someone in Mantiantang. When he was about to come to the bathroom to inspect the goods, he was killed by the explosive installed in the bathroom. There was no one else in the bathroom before he went in." Conan explained.

When Shiraishi heard this, although his face was still grim, he was slightly relieved - for Shiraishi, the fact that a member of the "Black Organization" was silenced by the employees of Mantangtian was not really good news, but at least the casualties were not heavy.

At this time, Bai Shi also went out from the blown-up outer wall. He looked around and found that this was an alley. The explosion only affected an empty car parked outside, and there were no casualties...

Soon after, the patrol officers from the nearby Beido Police Station also arrived - Mantiantang's headquarters was in Beido Town in Toudou.

Although they were patrolmen from the Beihu Police Station, they all knew Bai Shi.

"Police Shiraishi, look straight!"

"Well, you set up a cordon here...you two go and count the guests with the employees of Mantangtang, and don't let them leave yet." Bai Shi didn't hesitate and started to give orders on the spot.

“This… is it!”

The patrolman from the Beihu Office agreed immediately after a moment's hesitation.

Although the director of the Beihu Office is also the director of the front office, theoretically he is the superior of Director Mihua... Although there are rumors that Director Mihua and his boss are not on good terms...

But at this time, the patrolmen still decisively followed the instructions.

Firstly, because of Shiraishi's police rank and prestige in the police force, his connections "above" would at most affect their attitudes towards the patrolmen and grassroots criminal police of the Beihua Police Station, but would not make them disrespect the director of the Beihua Police Station. Secondly, the matter was too big this time, and even if they had command from within the station, they would be at a loss. Superintendent Shiraishi was willing to take the responsibility and command them, and they were overwhelmed with joy.

Then Shiraishi went to "interrogate" Conan again...

"How do you know that he was killed when he opened the toilet door?"

"I……"

"Don't tell me you followed him in... With the power of this explosive, if you followed him in, you would be indistinguishable from him now."

Conan: ...

Conan had no choice but to admit: "After I heard his phone call, I glued a bug to his shoe...but I can't find it now."

Bai Shi glared at him and said, "Give me the device. Does it have a recording function?"

"Yes..." Conan also knew that Shiraishi was going to take over the "bug" matter, but of course he didn't feel sorry for the doctor's bug.

Shiraishi also listened to the recording at this time - because Conan had placed the bug shortly before the other party entered the bathroom, not much was recorded.

All we know is that at the end, he said to himself, "Why can't it be inserted... Oh, it turns out there is no lock", and then the signal was interrupted - obviously he was broken after that.

……

Soon, Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division arrived first...

As for the people from the Beihu Office, they all just voluntarily followed suit and had no intention of striving for an independent investigation.

Megure was also very happy to see Shiraishi present: "Brother Shiraishi, you are here too?"

With such a big case happening, Megure was of course feeling heavy-hearted, but when he saw Shiraishi, his eyes lit up again - with an "experienced police officer" on the scene, he could also get more information!

"Well, I happened to be invited and came to the press conference, but unfortunately..." Shiraishi shook his head helplessly.

"Do you know anything about the explosion?" Megure asked hurriedly. "I know a little bit. The person who was killed in the explosion was a guy dressed in black. I thought he was sneaky and even spied on me. Also... I wasn't at the scene when the explosion happened, but this kid was nearby and heard him talking to himself!" Shiraishi said, and took Conan out.

Shiraishi could have completely concealed the existence of the "bug" and the "Black Organization" from Inspector Megure...

He just gave Inspector Megure some clues related to the bombing.

"Also, the president of Mantiantang has also received a threatening letter recently..."

……

Not long after, some more detectives with stern faces arrived - they did not bring the "flower-shaped badge" unique to the Investigation Section 1, but they all came to the scene with a stern face and swaggered, as if they didn't even take the "flower-shaped detectives" of the Investigation Section 1 seriously.

These……

Of course, it’s not someone from the Beihu Office, but...

"Sure enough, the public security people are here, but it looks like they have little to do with it." Megure muttered softly.

When an explosion occurs, the police must of course be present at the scene.

However, if a terrorist attack is ruled out, the police will withdraw. If it is confirmed to be a terrorist attack, the police will take over. As for whether it is a terrorist attack or not, it is necessary to determine it in the initial search.

Based on what Shiraishi just said and the results of confirmation with President Ishikawa, Megure suspected that this should be a common criminal case - although it is "vicious", it is not a special case that can be related to the public security.

At this moment, Shiraishi saw that the leader among the public security criminal police was also his "acquaintance".

When he saw Shiraishi, Kazami suddenly stopped in his tracks and did not come over to greet Megure. He just nodded coldly - this was in line with the style of the public security!

"That's not necessarily true... I think the man who was killed in the explosion is a little strange. I'll go talk to him." Shiraishi said as he walked towards Kazami, who turned around and tried to walk away for some reason.

After that, Megure only saw Shiraishi holding the person in charge of the public security personnel who came to the scene aside, which made the other public security personnel even a little nervous, wondering if Inspector Kazami was kidnapped...

……

Shiraishi discovered that the person in charge from the public security department was none other than his old acquaintance Kazami, so he put his arm around his neck and pulled him over familiarly. However, due to the size difference between the two, Kazami was like a muscular man forcibly dragging him to a girls' school in a small alley.

"Officer Shiraishi, if you have something to say, can't you just say it directly?" Kazami complained.

"Those who were killed in the explosion were from the Crow Legion." Bai Shi said directly.

Kazami:!!!
"Keep your voice down!" Feng Jian quickly jumped up and tried to cover his mouth.

At the same time, he looked around cautiously...

Even within the public security community, matters concerning the "Crow Legion" are secrets known only to a select few who carry out the mission!
"Didn't you ask me to say it directly?" Bai Shi rolled his eyes - but Bai Shi had already confirmed that no one was eavesdropping around.

"How... do you know about the Crow Legion?" Feng Jian asked hurriedly.

"How long do you think I've been in the team? That little black guy wouldn't even ask that." Bai Shi said pretentiously.

Feng Jian heard this without much doubt. Although there are essential differences between "violent organizations" and "terrorist organizations", when working together, it is inevitable that they will sometimes come into contact with the latter.

Especially since Shiraishi is not an ordinary grassroots police officer!

In addition...

Little black boy...

Are you talking about Mr. Fūya?
Feng Jian showed an expression that seemed like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh...

From this, Kazami also speculated that when Congressman Gokitani was assassinated, Mr. Furuya must have communicated something with Superintendent Shiraishi.

That incident was used by the "Black Organization" to assess informal members. As an undercover agent with a certain status in the "Black Organization", Furuya Rei served as the "assessor". Kazami also knew that Mr. Furuya had a secret meeting with Shiraishi on that occasion.

"Then how do you know that the people who were killed in the explosion were theirs? Do you know who did it?" Feng Jian asked hurriedly.

"After he came in, he had been secretly spying on me, and I sensed it... Plus, he was dressed like the Raven Corps uniform, so of course I could guess that there was something wrong with him. I then secretly installed a bug on him and found that he had contact with Gin. His code name was Tequila, and he came here to trade some information with the employees of Mantiantang... As for what caused the explosion, it is still unknown."

Shiraishi would certainly not mention anything about "Shirley". Anyone who has worked as a police officer in the team would know how important it is to protect one's informants - unless necessary, the informant's information must not be leaked to one's colleagues or even partners!

You can see this from Kuroki's father...

Old police officer Kanzaki's informant in "Hiroshiwa Kosan" was exposed. As a result, the informant's family was destroyed and he was furious for revenge. He could only entrust his son to old Kanzaki before his death - once the informant's identity was exposed, the situation would be very dangerous.

This is the case even for violent organizations, let alone terrorist organizations like the "Black Organization"!
What public security, what police station...

Information that he wouldn't reveal to his partner, so there was certainly no reason to tell them.

However, Bai Shi did not hide the matter of the eavesdropping device and directly disclosed it to the police.

When Feng Jian heard what Bai Shi said, he didn't think there was any loophole in it, but...

Do you usually carry a portable eavesdropping device with you?

Are you a police officer and am I a police officer?
Kazami looked at Shiraishi strangely, but then asked Tomi, who was inspecting the scene, "Teacher Tomi, can you tell what the deceased was wearing when he was alive?"

Demi:……

Deng Mi had an expression that said "are you crazy?" - I'm an appraiser, not a psychic... is it possible to tell?

"Some black fibers were found in the minced meat tissue." Dengmi said conservatively.

"What was the explosion like?" Kazami further confirmed.

"Judging from the explosion situation at the scene, the deceased was at the center of the explosion. The explosive was at least three liters of nitroglycerin, ignited by black powder. According to the previous testimony of the child and the words left by the deceased before his death, someone must have placed a bomb on the bathroom door." Dengmi replied.

Shiraishi did not mention the wiretapping to Souichi, but only said it was Conan's testimony. At this time, he also winked at Kazami, making Kazami think that Shiraishi "told Souichi what he had wiretapped through the mouth of a child"...

Dongdong: My wife and child returned home from the confinement center today. Maybe they were not used to the confinement nanny after leaving the confinement center, so they made a fuss...
