Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 333 A loving father and a filial son
March 3th, Wednesday, is International Women’s Day, but East Island does not celebrate this, and the police station will not give female police officers a day off because of this...

That afternoon, when it was almost time to get off work, Bai Shi was working when his cell phone suddenly rang.

Shiraishi took a quick look and saw that it was an unexpected caller - Kudo Yukiko.

"Hello, this is Shiraishi." Shiraishi answered the phone.

"Officer Shiraishi, it's me, it's me." Yukiko deliberately changed her voice slightly, pretending to be saying "it's me, it's a fraud."

But she was obviously not very good at changing her voice, and it sounded very unnatural.

"Um, Mrs. Kudo, is there anything wrong?" Shiraishi seriously ignored the middle-aged woman's cuteness.

"Really? Calling her Mrs. Kudo makes me look so old... Just call her Sister Yukiko." Yukiko complained jokingly.

A male voice was heard from the side: "Ahem, Yukiko, let's get down to business..."

As expected, Kudo Yusaku was also there - Shiraishi could probably guess what the couple's intentions were.

after all……

Their big son has been missing for almost two months, it’s time for him to react!
Although Shinichi usually used a voice changer to deal with calls from his mother, he had been absent from school for two months. More importantly, he went from being a "famous high school detective who was often in the news" to "suddenly becoming silent and no news at all". Even if the couple was very brave, they knew that something must have happened.

Shiraishi vaguely remembered that in the animation they should have gone to ask Professor Agasa first...

It is not known now whether they had already found Dr. Agasa and Dr. Agasa referred them to Shiraishi, or because Yukiko knew Shiraishi before, she went directly to Shiraishi to ask.

"Officer Shiraishi, has something happened to my Shinichi?" Yukiko asked at this time.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Shi said, "Well... there are indeed some things, but it's hard to talk about them over the phone. You should be mentally prepared. It's best if you can go back to China."

"Well, let's do it now. Officer Shiraishi, do you have time after get off work?" Yukiko said directly.

"Huh?" Bai Shi was stunned when he heard that.

"Shinichi's father and I are in the reception hall of the Beika Police Station." Yukiko said as a matter of course.

Shiraishi:……

This couple really attacked by surprise.

"Okay, I'll go down now, and we'll... talk in my car."

Shiraishi looked at the time and saw that it was already half past four, so he simply changed his clothes and went downstairs.

After Yukiko put down her phone, she noticed that Kudo Yusaku's expression was very serious: "You actually went to the car to talk... It seems like something really big has happened."

When Shiraishi arrived at the reception hall on the first floor, he immediately spotted Yukiko wearing sunglasses in the crowd. Next to her, he saw a middle-aged man with a mustache who looked gentle and a bit like Kudo Shinichi. He must be Kudo Yusaku.

Although Yusaku Kudo is one of the best-selling mystery novelists, he is obviously not as recognizable as the wife of the "former superstar" in terms of appearance.

At this time, Yukiko also disguised herself slightly to avoid trouble if she was recognized.

Shiraishi didn't go over to say hello, he just nodded in their direction and then turned and went to the parking lot.

The two also understood what Shiraishi meant. After Shiraishi got in the car and sat for a while, Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku followed and opened the back door and got in.

"Hello, Officer Shiraishi. My name is Yusaku Kudo. Thank you for taking care of my son during this period." Yusaku Kudo greeted formally.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Kudo Yusaku was already polite - he seemed to have determined that Shinichi had encountered something and Shiraishi should have provided assistance.

"As for the care, I'd rather thank the father and daughter of the Mori family," Shiraishi said modestly.

"Detective Mori? As expected..." Kudo Yusaku obviously also realized the strangeness - Shinichi suddenly disappeared, although he occasionally answered the phone, but did not show up at all. On the contrary, the more... special Detective Mori has been in the limelight recently, and has displayed reasoning abilities that are not his.

It is said that he has a strange habit of reasoning while sleeping!
"What I am going to say next may be a little bizarre, but it is indeed true. After listening to it, you two can decide for yourselves what to do..."

Bai Shi really didn't dare to say it so clearly on the phone - after all, if modern communications were used, there would be too many possibilities of being eavesdropped, and it would be difficult for Bai Shi to detect it.

But in your own car...

In the past five years, bombs have been planted in Shiraishi's police car more than once, and bugs have been installed countless times. He has long developed the habit of checking and even has an instinctive reaction. Shiraishi is confident that his car cannot be bugged.

At this time, Shiraishi also told the Kudo couple about the "Black Organization" and what happened to Kudo Shinichi.

Considering Kudo Yusaku's personality, which is more reliable than his son, less impulsive, and has stronger reasoning ability, Shiraishi took the initiative to tell the Kudo couple about the matter of the Aomori Prefecture Headquarters. Shiraishi also told them the truth about "the woman with amazing disguise skills", but he did not mention Judy and Rena Mizunashi much.

Mainly to use this as an example of "the Black Organization is not to be trifled with", and also...

"By the way, Mrs. Kudo, do you know anything about that disguise technique?" Shiraishi had seen this kind of disguise on Yukiko before, so it was normal for him to ask this at this time.

But in fact, Shiraishi already remembered that Vermouth and Yukiko should have learned disguise together, and they used to be "good friends in the entertainment industry."

"Eh? No, there's actually someone else... By the way, that thief can do it too, right?" Yukiko said without any flaws.

This woman really doesn't tell the truth!
Shiraishi appeared calm on the surface, but knew in his heart that Yukiko was not telling the truth - but it was normal when you think about it. After all, the Kudo couple and the Shiraishi were not familiar with each other. The reason why they had this most basic trust was because of the "tacit understanding" between Yukiko and Shiraishi in the Atsumori family case.

However, it is obviously impossible to say that the other party will immediately trust Bai Shi and share all information, even the secrets of his "friends".

Moreover, Yukiko couldn't confirm at this moment that the person Shiraishi was talking about was her good friend. In her impression, that good friend was already dead. This new disguised person might at most be related to her...

"So that's how it is. In order to investigate the Black Organization and get as many clues as possible, you used Detective Mori and helped him become famous? And even Detective Mori and Xiaolan didn't know about this." Kudo Yusaku was silently considering his son's choice.

In the end, Kudo Yusaku nodded, and seemed to agree that hiding his identity was the best option now.

"By the way, your house has been checked by the Black Organization before, so I installed surveillance cameras inside. Unless there is something important, you'd better not go back during this period." Bai Shi did not keep this matter secret.

After all, if Kudo Yusaku goes back, it might alert the Black Organization and he might also discover Shiraishi's surveillance. It would be better to tell it now.

and……

Bai Shi guessed that the reason why the couple did not go home after they came back was that they must have anticipated what would happen, or at least knew that their son was involved in some trouble.

"Well, if we don't have any, we've found another place to live for the time being. Thank you Officer Shiraishi for the trouble... But, Inoko seems to have gone back to get his childhood clothes. Did the Black Organization find anything?" At this time, Kudo Yusaku also found the photo of the "little kid with glasses" in the news report about Mori.

He could also recognize that this was Shinichi's old clothes. Combined with what Shiraishi had just said, the identity of this child was obvious...

However, when it comes to clothes, Kudo Yusaku is much more sensitive than his son.

If Kudo Yusaku was around, he would definitely not let Conan go back to get his clothes!
"As far as I know, the Black Organization should not have discovered this." Shiraishi told the truth - someone discovered it, but did not report it to the organization, so of course the Black Organization did not discover it either.

"But Shin-chan actually hid such a big thing from us. Honey, we must teach him a lesson!" Yukiko said angrily.

"This..." Kudo hesitated. After all, his son was already miserable enough.

"Shin-chan would never be like this before. Come on, come on!" Yukiko ignored her age and started to act coquettishly with her husband, which made Bai Shitou's skin numb.

Seeing his wife acting like a spoiled child, Kudo Yusaku agreed...

Shiraishi declined to comment on the couple's "open-mindedness".

"Officer Shiraishi, do you want to come too?" Yukiko invited them to play together.

"I'll just forget it..." Shiraishi just shook his head, and Yukiko emphasized: "This is also to remind Shin-chan that you must be cautious when facing a powerful enemy!"

"Okay." After hearing what Yukiko said, Shiraishi agreed.

Of course, Shiraishi didn't have time to play around with the couple for too long, he just cooperated with them to take a photo - grabbing Dr. Agasa's head with one hand and lifting him up...

And when Dr. Agasa was taking the photo, Yukiko made it look like he was seriously injured!
Shiraishi estimated that they would probably portray themselves as "accomplices of the Black Organization" to intimidate "Conan".

The fact is almost the same. The Kudo couple disguised themselves as a couple that Conan did not know, and used the voice changer made by Dr. Agasa to directly pretend to be members of the "Black Organization" and kidnap Conan...

When Conan finally seized the opportunity to contact Shiraishi, he was caught again and was shown a photo of Shiraishi saying "Oola Oola" to Dr. Agasa, which almost scared Conan to death.

……

At this time, Shiraishi had returned to his apartment, eating the beef stew made by Gina...

"Your cell phone is ringing." Gina reminded while serving rice.

"Don't worry about it." Shiraishi took a look and found that it was still "Kudo Shinichi" calling, so he didn't answer it.

And after a while...

A series of 60-second voice messages were sent, and the voices seemed to be very emotional, but Shiraishi ignored them all - it seemed that they were not good words.

"By the way, why did you sneak here again today?" Bai Shi looked at Gina puzzledly.

"I wasn't secretly...didn't I notice that your lock doesn't have any scratches at all?" Gina said proudly.

"You... have improved your skills?" Bai Shi looked at him strangely - were you still "practicing"?

"Of course not! In fact... I secretly made a copy of the key last time!" Gina said as a matter of course.

Shiraishi:……

So you yourself said it was "secretly", right?

"Father Nakazawa is dead." Gina did come to Shiraishi for something.

Bai Shi paused when he heard this, and then asked with emotion: "Dad Nakazawa...when is the farewell ceremony? I will go."

Gina is actually not very familiar with "Papa Nakazawa". After all, Gina did not grow up in Baishi Orphanage...

I just came to tell Shiraishi because I knew that many "children" in the orphanage, especially the "older children", knew Father Nakazawa and respected him very much.

"I don't know. The body is still in the Metropolitan Police Department. It's impossible to arrange a farewell party, right? The point is not the farewell ceremony..." Gina said immediately.

Shiraishi immediately looked at Gina - indeed, Shiraishi had heard the "main point"...

"In the Metropolitan Police Department?" Shiraishi's eyes became sharp.

Father Nakazawa is already very old. When Shiraishi first heard about it, he thought he had passed away. But from what Gina said...

"Yes, it's a murder case! Father Nakazawa was poisoned to death yesterday at the theater of the Qile family he often went to! Originally, because of the cops... ahem, the police are already searching. Grandma Shiraishi didn't let me disturb you, but... I saw this afternoon that that Liu San seemed to be threatened by someone from a violent organization!" Gina explained.

Although Gina's words were confusing, Shiraishi, who knew the situation, understood...

Mr. Nakazawa is also from Kamurocho, and his home is not far from the Shiroishi Orphanage. He is a kind and charitable person. Not only did he often donate to the orphanage, but he also enthusiastically contacted waste recycling stations and brought some usable things to the orphanage, providing a lot of help to the Shiroishi Orphanage.

Even after some orphans entered society, Mr. Nakazawa was always willing to provide help within his ability, so he was called "Dad Nakazawa" by the children.

Although Shiraishi did not need any special help from Father Nakazawa and was not one of the orphans that the old man was most familiar with, Shiraishi still remembered that when he was young... and wanted to join a violent organization, the old man used his cane to teach him a lesson.

For Shiraishi, the cane didn't hurt, and the words of Nakazawa's father were useless. He had to change his mindset...

However, Father Nakazawa is also a respectable elder to Shiraishi.

Mr. Nakazawa is not a wealthy man. Instead, he lives a very simple life. When he got older, his only pleasure was to buy some sweets and then go to the Rakugo theater near his home, a small theater in Kirakuya, to listen to Rakugo.

As for Liu San, Bai Shi still had some impression of him...

His real name should be Tamura or something. After his parents died, he also grew up in Shiraishi Orphanage. However, he is ten years older than Shiraishi, so Shiraishi is not very familiar with him.

But later he became a rakugo master, and apprenticed to a kirakuya in the rakugo world. His stage name was "Kirakuya Yanagi-san". When Shiraishi was still in the orphanage, his grandmother happily invited everyone to watch his first performance.

Since Mr. Nakazawa liked Rakugo, he was naturally of great help to Liu San and often went to support him.

It seems that this time I went to see his performance...

"Poisoned?" Bai Shi frowned when he heard that.

"Yes! That's what I heard the police officer at the scene said." Gina nodded confidently.

Although she didn't know Father Nakazawa, she heard from the teacher at the orphanage that he was a very good man and was very loved by the children. So she secretly paid attention to the case and wanted to find Shiraishi yesterday.

However, the director, Grandma Shiraishi, didn't want to disturb Shiraishi just like that, and told Gina to wait until the case was over before notifying Shiraishi to attend the farewell ceremony - after all, Shiraishi was not the only police officer in Dongdu, and this was not Shiraishi's responsibility.

However, today Gina discovered that the case seemed to be related to some violent organization. She was worried that the police investigation would be too stressful and they would not be able to catch the real culprit, so she still felt that Shiraishi should be notified.

come all come...

Of course he broke in by breaking the lock, and helped Shiraishi clean up the room and stewed beef. It just so happened that Shiraishi came back early today.

Bai Shi also nodded and said, "Well, then... after I send you back, I'll go see what's going on!"

After all, it was someone that Bai Shi knew and even respected who was killed, and Bai Shi could not just sit back and watch.

Of course, Shiraishi didn't want to "intervene" immediately - after all, it happened yesterday, and the "Investigation Section 1" should be investigating it by now.

but……

From what Gina said, maybe it has something to do with a violent organization?
If this is the case, there will be a lot of interfering factors, and Shiraishi is prepared to pay attention to it. If the people from the "Investigation Section 1" are not able to do it, Shiraishi is not afraid to solve it himself.

Even if the two things are unrelated, if Liu San is entangled by some violent organization, Bai Shi can solve the problem on his behalf.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shiraishi sent Gina back to the orphanage. When Shiraishi's grandmother saw her, she couldn't help but complain a few words and told Shiraishi that it was okay, as Father Nakazawa's case was still under investigation.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to urge them on." Shiraishi acted like a leader and comforted Grandma Shiraishi who was afraid of offending others.

After leaving the orphanage, he first came to the Nakazawa family - Father Nakazawa usually lives alone and has no close relatives in Dongdu.

Rakugo theaters do not provide food, and since he was poisoned there, it is very likely that the sweets he brought were poisoned!
In this case, even though it is the first scene, there should be nothing to search.

After all, poisoning cases are not like direct injury cases. The scene with the most evidence is not the scene of death, but the scene where the "poisoning" process occurred.

When he arrived outside the dilapidated house of the Nakazawa family, Shiraishi saw a police car parked next to it. Although it was a plainclothes police car from the Criminal Division, Shiraishi still recognized it. The license plate number also looked familiar. It was a 3 Series car...
