Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 80 Are you also a fan of Yoko?

Shiraishi is not sure how much effect things like "crime prevention speeches" and "legal education" can have in Beika Town!

Just like now...

"If you don't mind, you can just call me Yoko." Yoko felt that after going through so many things today, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other.

"Well, Yoko, don't look back." Shiraishi said suddenly.

"Huh?" Yoko was stunned when she heard that.

"These stalkers are too persistent, aren't they? Director Ichi-chan is also following them..." Shiraishi said while smiling and observing behind Yoko.

That’s right, Shiraishi discovered another sasaeng fan who is suspected to be a stalker!

He is dressed the same as the previous guy, with a mask, sunglasses, and a long windbreaker... He is hiding behind a telephone pole, secretly looking over here. Is he afraid that he doesn't look suspicious?

It's okay for sasaeng fans to follow idols normally...

Today Yoko is the “Director for a Day”!

We have so many police uniforms here, and you can't see them? One, two, and they are all like this?
My Rice Flower Town, the people are really simple and honest...

Are you going to follow me, the real director, next time?

As Shiraishi said this, he suddenly walked past Yoko, ready to catch this sneaky guy.

When the latter noticed Bai Shi coming over, he tried to escape in panic, but...

As soon as he turned around, he was caught by Bai Shi who suddenly accelerated!

Yoko was behind Shiraishi and felt the moment Shiraishi exploded and accelerated, the air around him was stirred.

"Young man... hm?" Bai Shi suddenly felt something was wrong. This "young man" was a little slim, and the wrist he held was also exceptionally slender.

"pain!"

The other person cried out in pain, and the mask came loose, revealing the face underneath...

"Huh?" Bai Shi discovered that it was someone he knew.

"Are you... Ujigen-san?" Shiraishi then realized that under the other person's long windbreaker, he was wearing the girls' school uniform of Teitan.

That’s right, it was the one who had appeared on the headlines of major newspapers together with Shiraishi... Ujimina Ayano!
Look at the time. It’s already evening. Teitan High School has already finished school, and... it’s not far from here!
"Ah! I...that...is not..." Ujimina Ayano panicked when she heard that.

"Really? You little girls...you should focus on studying now, instead of always thinking about..."

"I didn't think..."

"Chasing stars... huh? Don't you want to chase stars? Then what are you doing here? And sneaking around!" Seeing that she did not admit it, Bai Shi's tone became harsher.

Ujigen Ayano: ...

At this time, Yoko saw that Shiraishi seemed to have an argument with a "fan", so she hurried over and saw this scene.

"That's right! I'm here to chase stars!" Ayano blushed and quickly admitted it.

Shiraishi:? ? ?
"Why are you suddenly so confident?" Bai Shi looked at her suspiciously.

"I...I...love the Earth Defense Force very much!" Ayano said quickly while looking at Yoko.

"Earth...Ladies' Team, right? Earth Defense Force...it sounds like they should be going to the Ikebukuro Police Station for an event!" Shiraishi became even more suspicious.

"Yes, yes, lady... I was just too excited!" Ayano corrected immediately.

Yoko tilted her head as if she had discovered something, so she smiled and said to Shiraishi, "Okay, Director Shiraishi, let me talk to this... beautiful fan."

"Hmm? Okay... By the way, of course I'm not targeting Miss Yoko... Well, I'm not targeting you, Yoko. I'm just reminding her to study hard before chasing stars." Shiraishi explained upon seeing this.

"I know! Come on, everyone at the police station is still looking for you!" Seeing that the girl was almost embarrassed to death, Yoko hurriedly urged Shiraishi to leave.

……

When Shiraishi came back to the finishing scene, he found out that someone was visiting, so Maru was looking for him everywhere.

and……

It was none other than Otani Shinya, whom I had met just a few days ago!

His father, Shinjiro Otani, was released yesterday, and because the real murderer has been arrested, the Publicity Department of the Police Division of the Beika Police Station can announce this to reporters with confidence.

Although Shinjiro Otani was still suspected of intentional injury, after all, he did push Amano the night before, but considering that he was deceived first and his mind was not clear, and Amano had been killed and there was no way to examine the injury, he was not held accountable...

It was obvious that Otani Shinya waited until the end of the event to thank Shiraishi.

"Director Shiraishi, I want to thank you on behalf of my father for your care. Please forgive me for any impoliteness I may have shown before!" Otani Shinya took two steps forward to shake hands with Shiraishi when he saw him coming. He had thought that Shiraishi would definitely regard his father as the murderer - after all, Shiraishi was a young man who became famous for "overthrowing the Minister of Justice". In Otani's opinion, such people should have the habit of "the higher the official, the more they want to investigate"!

And the new Minister of Justice is Takamori...

Otani did not expect that Shiraishi would withstand the pressure, solve the case, and clear his father's name, which made him very grateful.

Shiraishi did not refuse the handshake, but later said: "No need to thank me, this is what our police should do, but... there is one thing I personally want to say, Mr. Otani's situation is also caused by your lack of care and rude attitude!
"Mr. Otani's illness requires his family to be more understanding. I hope that Mr. Otani's incident this time will make you reflect on yourself."

Otani Shinya was stunned when he heard this, but... he still agreed with a dry laugh!

Even if Shiraishi spoke more harshly now, Otani would not be able to complain.

As for emotional intelligence and so on...

Bai Shi's scientific system does not have any enhancement in this aspect - psychology, micro-expressions, communication cues and other abilities will make Bai Shi's words superb, but this is only on the technical level and does not mean that his emotional intelligence will be high!

This is not the low of "slow", but the low of "not caring"...

After all, Shiraishi wasn't talking to make him feel comfortable!
Seeing the director, who was less than 30 years old, scolding the Ministry of Finance official who was in his 40s and making him feel embarrassed, Section Chief Maruwei quickly avoided him to avoid offending him further. At the same time, he felt that the new director was indeed different...

In the past, these bureaucrats that the directors had to curry favor with, not only dared to arrest them when they committed crimes, but also reprimanded them even when they did not commit crimes. However, these guys who looked down on "a mere director" had to smile apologetically when facing Director Shiraishi... No wonder those people in the criminal department like Director Shiraishi!
On the other hand, Shiraishi was relieved to see that Yoko had appeased her little fan - he hoped that after receiving Yoko's encouragement, she would be able to study hard instead of wasting time chasing after idols!
……

On October 10, two days had passed since the “One-Day Chief” activity of the Beika Police Station, and there had been no murders in Beika Town for four days…

Today, Shiraishi did not go to the police station, but came to the Metropolitan Police Department early in the morning to take part in the assessment for promotion to Superintendent of Police!

Because Shiraishi was only here to take the exam, he was not wearing a uniform. He was no longer a criminal police officer and did not wear a police badge. He came in in plain clothes with a work badge.

After the noon assessment was completed, Bai Shi came to the "Criminal Department"...

Just in the corridor, I ran into Inspector Megure: "Brother Shiraishi? By the way, today is the promotion assessment, right? Congratulations. I haven't thanked you for your help on the case the day before yesterday."

Megure never considered that there was a possibility that Shiraishi might fail the exam, and as long as he took the test, he could be "congratulated".

"It's just a piece of cake... It was Inspector Megure who taught me that being a detective requires paying attention to time." Shiraishi said modestly.

Megure didn't say anything polite, but teased, "Hahaha, how does it feel to have to take promotion exams for two consecutive months?"

"Well, that's not bad. I can finally sit in the office." Bai Shi also smiled.

But Megure didn't believe it - if you really wanted to work in an office, could you have done what you did before?
"By the way, are you here to see Minister Odagiri?" Megure guessed from the direction he was going that he was going to the Criminal Minister's office.

The current head of the Criminal Department, Toshio Odagiri, was the head of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department two months ago, and was Shiraishi's old boss.

The reason why he became the head of the Criminal Department was because his predecessor was implicated in the case of Minister Inukai...

"Yes, I'm here to give a gift to Minister Odagiri!" Shiraishi said confidently, and patted his left chest as he spoke - there seemed to be something inside.

"Heh... Heh, I also have a case to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore." Megure laughed awkwardly. Your "gift"? If I hadn't known you for so long, I would have believed it!
As a detective who once worked with Shiraishi, Megure is very familiar with his "gift-giving" routine.

……

dong dong dong-

"Come in." Odagiri frowned when he heard the knock on the door.

When Shiraishi came in, Odagiri said, "Officer Shiraishi, why didn't you make an appointment in advance?"

Hearing his knock on the door, Odagiri guessed who it was. After all, Shiraishi had been under his command for so long, and...

Not everyone knocks on the door so high!

"Minister, don't be so cold!" Bai Shi said with a smile.

"We don't have a subordinate relationship now." Odagiri continued coldly.

"Inspector Odagiri, I came here specifically to see my old leader!" Shiraishi said, taking out a thick brown paper bag from his arms.

At first glance, there must be several million here.
but……

Odagiri knows Shiraishi better than Megure!

After all, Bai Shi only stayed in "Souyi" for one year, but stayed in "Zudui" for five years.

Although Odagiri was not the direct leader of the "department chief" and was two levels higher than the department chief, the "Touto Riot Discharge Ordinance" had just been issued at that time, and Odagiri had always regarded Shiraishi as the "vanguard officer", and the two had direct contact a lot...

Without saying anything, Odagiri opened the large manila envelope, and inside was...

Yoko Okino's records and peripherals!
