I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 324 Conan's determination, the unlucky first-line star (Part 2)
Just as Shiraishi Eri was quietly watching the heartwarming scene of Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan hugging and crying, Conan squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty.

After he came to Bai Shihui, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Bai Shi, I'm so glad you're okay."

"This little thing can't bother me." Shiraishi Hui smiled confidently, then exhaled a puff of white mist.

Conan had to admit that the other party was very skilled. If it were him, he would probably be pinned down when facing that large group of experimental subjects, and his chance of escaping would be slim!

After sighing, he began to get to the point and said in a low voice: "Brother Bai Shi, I have something important to tell you!"

There was a hint of nervousness in his tone as he spoke.

Shiraishi looked down at Conan, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

In fact, he has already guessed what the other party is going to say, which is nothing more than investigating the truth about this human experiment.

After all, this kid was born to be a detective, not to mention that Conan still looks like a child. His appearance is very deceptive and it is difficult for people to be vigilant.

Conan took a deep breath and quickly told out what he had just overheard: "I used a bug to hear the conversation between those people. They... they actually used innocent people for experiments!"

"It is said that it is used to develop drugs to extend people's lifespan!"

"This is absolutely unscrupulous! They treat human life as nothing!"

"Not only that, they also tried to tie other dignitaries to their cars!!"

At this point, a rare expression of indignation appeared on his face.

After hearing this, Bai Shihui did not show any surprise on her face. Instead, she sneered: "What's so surprising about this? If they don't do some unscrupulous things, what kind of terrorist organization is it?"

Conan was stunned by his reaction. He obviously didn't expect Shiraishi to be so calm.

But then I thought, the other party has connections with the underworld.

Although I don’t know the extent of his contact, I’m sure he knows more about the ins and outs of this than I do!!

For Yukiko's sake, Shiraishi also said a few words to Conando, "But this is not the most terrible thing... This matter is far from that simple."

"Conan, you're a smart kid. Think about it. The cell phone signal is still there, so there must be a lot of people calling for help. But why hasn't support arrived yet?"

"Look, the cruise ship exploded into a ball of sparks, and only the rescue boat appeared."

After these words were spoken, Conan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that something was wrong!
He was a smart man. After hearing this, he immediately realized something. He swallowed in disbelief and said, "Brother Bai Shi, you mean, even Zheng——"

Shiraishi interrupted Conan and said with a deep look in her eyes: "This is normal. After all, those who hold high positions are basically old men with one foot in the coffin. They will not miss any opportunity to keep themselves alive."

Conan was stunned. He opened his mouth but had no way to refute.

He has read many mystery novels and knows the darkness of human nature.

Know that these actions are what they are capable of!
But then, Conan frowned and said, "But... why do they dare to attack the Suzuki Group? The Suzuki Group is the number one financial group!!"

Shiraishi smiled and said, "No matter how much money you make, you are just a businessman. If your fists are not strong enough... you are still not qualified to eat at the table."

Conan was stunned when he heard this, but he was very smart and reacted quickly.

Although he knew that this matter involved a wide range of issues, he did not expect that it would involve such complicated power struggles and conflicts of interest.

Various possibilities flashed through his mind quickly, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Shiraishi saw that Conan's face was getting uglier and uglier, so she reminded him, "In short, this matter is very complicated, so don't get involved! This is not something a child like you can handle."

Conan said nothing, but clenched his fists.

He knew that Shiraishi Hui was doing this for his own good, but he had no choice!

He still remembered that the man who drugged him was called Gin, and the man who presided over the meeting was called Rum. Both of them used the names of alcohol as code names, maybe they belonged to the same criminal organization!
Therefore, he must continue investigating, otherwise there will be no way to recover.

Seeing Conan's determined look, Shiraishi knew that the other party did not listen to her advice and still wanted to confront the Black Organization.

He did not continue to persuade them. Anyway, the other party had found clues about the Black Organization and one person could not handle it.

In the end, they will come to me for help, and then I can make my demands openly.

........................

It has been three days since the luxury cruise ship was bombed, yet there has been very little coverage of the incident in the news.

On the second floor of the Maori Detective Agency, Shiraishi Hui watched the host read a brief news release on the TV screen with a blank expression: "It is reported that a luxury cruise ship was attacked by gangsters, resulting in many casualties. At present, the relevant departments have intervened in the investigation, and the specific details have not yet been announced."

Then, the news footage changed to gossip about several first-line celebrities.

A popular young actor was caught cheating on his wife, a female star was photographed entering and leaving a hotel with a wealthy man late at night, and even a veteran actor was caught evading taxes.

The video and photos went viral online, instantly setting off a wave of social media frenzy.

Netizens have turned into "melon-eating crowds" and enthusiastically discussed the "collapse" incidents of these stars, as if the explosion of the luxury cruise ship had never happened.

Conan sat on the sofa, holding the remote control in his hand, his brows furrowed.

He stared at the TV screen, his heart filled with helplessness and anger. He murmured in a low voice: "Such a big thing was just passed over in one sentence. It's dark, really dark!!"

Shiraishi was sitting nearby, holding a cup of coffee, looking calm. He glanced at Conan and said calmly, "This kind of thing is nothing new. Although the means of diverting public opinion are always the same, I have to say it is quite effective."

Conan turned his head and looked at him in confusion: "But... so many innocent people lost their lives, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Shiraishi Hui took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "People are naturally keen on gossip, especially when celebrities who are usually glamorous and beautiful have their reputations ruined. As for the really important things... most people don't care."

Conan sighed, feeling powerless. He lowered his head, tapping the armrest of the sofa with his fingers unconsciously, and whispered, "But... those celebrities are also innocent. They were pushed out to take the blame and became victims."

Shiraishi chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Innocent? Not entirely. If they weren't incompetent and hadn't messed around, they wouldn't have been caught and taken away in one fell swoop. The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, who can be truly clean?"

Conan was silent. He knew that what Shiraishi Hui said made sense, but he still felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, Bai Shihui suddenly said, "By the way, we are going to have dinner at Lawyer Fei's house tonight. If you have nothing to do, come with us."

Conan's face changed instantly when he heard this. The terrifying "dark cuisine" of Kisaki Eri immediately appeared in his mind, and his stomach suddenly churned.

He waved his hands quickly, his tone a little flustered: "Ah... that... I also made an appointment with Ayumi and the others to play football, so I won't go! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Conan almost ran away, not even having time to put on his shoes, and ran out the door in a hurry.

Bai Shihui looked at his back and couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said to himself, "This kid runs faster than a rabbit. It's just a meal, right? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"

He put down the coffee cup, but felt a little curious about Kisaki Eri's "dark cuisine".

He touched his chin, a smile on his face: "I want to try it, what kind of dark cuisine can make people afraid!"

At this time, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs from upstairs.

Xiaolan changed her clothes and came downstairs. She said happily: "Hui, Conan, I'm ready. Let's go now... Hey? Where's Conan?"

"I went to play football with my classmates." Shiraishi shrugged, stood up from the sofa and said, "It's just the two of us."

"Yeah." Xiaolan didn't care too much. She first rinsed the coffee cup and then went out with Shiraishi Hui in her arms.
