"Yes, thank you so much, Lord Chichu!"
I protected my woman and she thanked me...
Chi Chufeng felt something was off.
Shouldn't it be better to make their relationship public with Miwako Sato?
Shiratori Renzaburo thanked him and then continued, "Lord Akatsuchi, please keep what I am about to tell you a secret and do not tell anyone."
"This case dates back to a year ago..."
Officer Shiratori began to describe the case in detail, and after listening for a while, Akatsukaze remembered it.
According to Shiratori, about a year ago, Nino Yasushi of Toto University Hospital died at home. Although the police suspected suicide at the time, they did not rule out the possibility of homicide.
As a precaution, the police officer in charge of the case at the time, Tomonari, and his three subordinates, Narasawa Osamu, Shiba Ichiro, and Sato Miwako, conducted a more in-depth investigation into the case.
They then discovered that Nino had an argument with someone in front of a warehouse a week before his death, so Officer Yusei and the others went to the warehouse to investigate.
As a result, during the surveillance, Officer Youcheng suffered a heart attack and was not taken to the hospital in time, collapsing on the operating table.
After that, the case was closed as a suicide due to a lack of evidence of homicide.
Then recently, at the request of Narasawa Haru, Sato Miwako and Shiba Yoichiro began investigating the case from a year ago again.
However, the tragedy of Narasawa Haru and Shiba Yoichiro being shot one after another occurred.
Shiratori continued, "In fact, we have temporarily identified several suspects."
“First of all, there is Yu Chengzhen, the son of Officer Yu Cheng who died of a heart attack. On the night of Officer Yu Cheng’s wake, he said, ‘If you police had called an ambulance, my father might not have died. It was you guys who killed my father. I will never forgive you in this lifetime.’”
"If he holds a grudge about this, it wouldn't be surprising if he wanted to kill Officer Narasawa and Officer Shiba."
"The second suspect is Toshiya Odagiri."
Officer Shiratori's expression was unusually grave:
"You've met him before at the Suzuki family's party. His father is Toshiro Odagiri, the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division!"
Chi Chufeng curled his lip.
Although this matter has nothing to do with Toshio Odagiri, one can imagine how much pressure Shiratori Ninzaburo is under.
"Don't worry, this case has nothing to do with Toshio Odagiri."
Upon hearing Chi Chufeng's words, Shiratori Renzaburo breathed a sigh of relief.
Not good.
If it really is him, even Shiratori Ninzaburo probably wouldn't dare to act on his own; he would have to report it to Inspector Megure.
He never doubted Chi Chufeng's words.
As the most powerful Onmyoji in Tokyo, Akatsuka's words now carry more weight than those of high-ranking officials like the mayor or speaker of the council.
"That would be great if it wasn't him. That would clear his father of suspicion as well."
Shiratori Ninzaburo visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
This made Chi Chufeng glance at him again.
You guys are really bold, daring to doubt even your superior, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Seeing that Shiratori Renzaburo remained silent, Akatsuki asked in bewilderment, "Besides those three, do you have any other suspects?"
None of these three names sound familiar, so they are clearly not the murderers.
To be honest, there were too many cases, and Chi Chufeng couldn't remember all the criminals' names. However, since each case involved a choice of four or three, it was easy to distinguish between them.
Now that none of the three suspects have been identified, Chi Chufeng is in a dilemma.
However, this wasn't a big problem for him.
I'm just too lazy to look for it everywhere.
Chapter 305 Lord Chichu, you wouldn't be having designs on my sister, would you?
Officer Shiratori glanced at Akatsuka's expression and asked, "Lord Akatsuka, are you saying that none of the three suspects are the murderer?"
“Mm.” Chi Chufeng nodded.
"That would be troublesome." Shiratori Renzaburo was also at a loss.
Without a suspect, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chi Chufeng thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something.
"Based on what you've said, there's a very high chance the killer is someone connected to the police force."
"In Officer Shiba's body, he was holding his police manual. Officer Narasawa, before he died, also had his hand covering the police manual in his breast pocket."
"If this is a death message left by the two of them, then there is a high possibility that the murderer is someone connected to the police force."
"By the way, doesn't your sister, Shiratori Sara, have an engagement ceremony these days?"
Chi Chufeng seemed to have heard someone say something like that.
Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately became alert.
"Lord Chichu, my sister is about to get engaged. Although she admires you greatly in private, she already has a fiancé..."
huh?
Chi Chufeng glanced at him.
What do you mean by that?
It's not like I'm the one who cares about your sister.
He said with a hint of helplessness, "What I mean is that your sister's engagement party will definitely invite a lot of police officers, and many of them will be armed. Criminals might take this opportunity to make their move."
"When the time comes, I'll be by Officer Sato's side. Not only will I be able to help her get out of danger, but I can also help you catch the murderer."
Shiratori Renzaburo was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! If this is truly killing two birds with one stone, then I'll leave this matter to you, Onmyoji. I'll send my steward to deliver the invitations immediately."
He was about to take his leave, but hesitated and turned back.
"Lord Chichu, you really wouldn't have any designs on my sister, would you?"
Chi Chufeng was speechless.
Do you think I lack women?
Shiratori Ninzaburo stepped outside, his brow furrowed.
He wasn't worried about the case; with Akagi's help, there was absolutely no problem with it, and Officer Sato's safety was naturally guaranteed.
He was worried about his younger sister.
It's no wonder that Shiratori Renzaburo had such thoughts; his family had also considered having his sister get close to Akatsuka, and Shiratori Sara was also very interested in this Onmyoji.
It was only through Shiratori Ninzaburo's persuasion, saying things like Akatsuka's extremely high standards, that her parents and sister finally gave up the idea.
If Chi Chufeng really has some ideas...
Shiratori Ninzaburo quickly shook his head.
The thought of Chi Chufeng becoming his brother-in-law made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Anyway, the Onmyoji said he's not interested in Shiratori Sara...
huh?
Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly froze.
Wait a minute, how does Lord Akatsuki know my sister's name?
Does this mean they're not interested?
Shiratori Ninzaburo touched his chest, feeling as if he was about to lose something.
One day later was Shiratori Sara's engagement party.
Rice flower sun plaza hotel.
Shiratori Sara's engagement banquet is scheduled to begin at seven o'clock. At this moment, many guests have already arrived early, and the Shiratori family members are busy entertaining guests in the hall or in the engagement banquet venue.
In the lounge area on the first floor of the hotel, Uncle Mori was chatting with acquaintances, while Conan looked around with the keen eye of a detective.
This is truly an engagement party for Officer Shiratori's sister. Looking around, there seem to be quite a few police officers here.
The people talking to Detective Mori over there were Mr. Kato and Ms. Iijima, his former subordinates.
And over there are Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba.
Oh, and Ms. Yumi from the Traffic Department is here too.
However, if they were simply attending an engagement party, even police officers would likely be much more relaxed in their demeanor and actions.
But looking around, many police officers seemed to be chatting, but they were actually keeping a close eye on their surroundings. Some people were even communicating with walkie-talkies.
I guess it's because of the case where two police officers were killed one after the other the day before yesterday.
Conan had, of course, heard about this case.
Two police officers have now been killed, and today is also an engagement party for someone related to the police force.
