Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Chapter 294: Death strikes, Nishizaki Group in chaos

The next day, a robbery occurred at the Beika Nishizaki Bank. After investigation by the police and detectives, it was found that the robbery was actually an inside job. The bank's president quickly came out for emergency public relations, apologized to the innocent people who were implicated, and promised to make appropriate compensation.

The next day, a murder occurred in a restaurant. The restaurant owner was brutally murdered. Fortunately, the case was solved in time by the police, and it did not cause much public outcry. However, the restaurant owner needed to be replaced...

Then, the third day, the fourth day...

Under Shirakawa Yu's deliberate arrangement, Conan and his friends lived a very colorful life.

And they did not disappoint Shirakawa Qiu's expectations. After their trip, the entire Nishizaki Group was in chaos.

Not only in real life, but also on the Internet, many people have started discussing the Nishizaki Group and the Nishizaki family.

[Is this a mistake? Why has the Nishizaki family been causing so much trouble lately? Are they deliberately trying to attract attention?]

[Deliberately trying to attract attention? Haha, the above is hilarious. Don't you see what Nishizaki is like now? If you know more about him, you'll know that the Nishizaki family wouldn't do something so damaging to themselves.]

[Speaking of which, wasn't that unlucky guy who set himself on fire during the Gion Festival a while ago also from the Nishizaki family?]

[The case has been resolved. It seems to be a revenge plot. Most likely, the Nishizaki family has done something bad again.]

"Now that I mention it, my scalp is starting to tingle! The Nishizaki family has been in turmoil since before and after the Gion Festival. Could they be cursed?"

[Cursed? Haha, now that you put it that way, I think so too. Besides, weren't we worshipping the gods those days? Could it be that the gods are angry and have sent down punishment?]

There are many different opinions on the Internet, and everyone has different views on this matter, but there is no doubt that most people are just watching the incident, and at the same time they also have a subtle sympathy for the Nishizaki family.

Of course, everyone was just talking about it. The ones who were really worried and exhausted were naturally the people of the Nishizaki family.

Kyoto, Nishizaki family.

"What? Something happened over there too?"

Taro Nishizaki held the phone so tightly that his teeth were almost broken.

"How could this happen? Didn't I tell you already? You have to keep a low profile recently and don't provoke other people—"

"Father, we really have warned him." Nishizaki Yuuki's voice was weak, and it was obvious that recent events had exhausted him. "It's just that it's really strange. The cases keep happening, and each one has a reason and evidence. They seem very normal. There's absolutely no possibility of any incitement, and the police haven't found any suspicious points."

In this situation, how can they defend themselves?

It's simply impossible to guard against!

Nishizaki Taro laughed angrily. "Then tell me, are all the recent cases just bad luck or accidents? The murderer didn't kill earlier or later, but just at this critical moment, right?"

And they chose to attack them on their territory of Nishizaki?

"I'm sorry, father." Nishizaki Yuuki apologized in a low voice.

He really couldn't find any traces of human intervention, except—

"But father, there's a detective named Maori Kogoro involved in all the recent cases. Could he be the one behind this?"

"Maori Kogoro?"

"Yes, he seems to be quite famous recently. He's nicknamed 'Sleeping Kogoro'. His deduction ability is very good, and he's considered a very famous detective. I don't know why, but he always comes across us in our murder cases."

“Was he basically there?”

"It seems... not—" Nishizaki Yuuki thought carefully, "But the successful solution of these cases is more or less related to him."

"Oh, by the way, his Mori Detective Agency is right above Shirakawa-no-Yu's shop. The two of them have a very good relationship."

"That's it! It must be that Shirakawa Akane again." Nishizaki Taro gritted his teeth. "It must be that Shirakawa Akane and Maori Kogoro who worked together to deliberately lead the murder case to us, and then shamelessly helped us solve the case, but in fact they were covering up their tracks of leading the murderer!"

That must be it!

Whether it was the previous Linlu Construction, or the current Geisha House and Nishizaki Group, was there ever any absence of Shirakawa Qiu?

Nishizaki Yuuki: "Is that so? But the detective sent by Shirakawa Akane is still investigating Xingyao Entertainment——"

"That's just a cover. His real target is actually the Nishizaki Group!"

After hanging up the phone, Nishizaki Taro took a deep breath and called the old butler: "Get ready, I want to go back to Tokyo!"

He had been in Kyoto for so many years that people had forgotten what kind of existence the Nishizaki family was.

Humph, it's time to go back.

He just didn't believe that Baichuan Qiu would be in trouble this time.

The old butler bowed obediently, turned around and began to prepare.

But after hearing this, Nishizaki Doujie was very surprised. He found Nishizaki Taro and asked him weakly, "Grandpa, things haven't reached that point yet. There is no need for us to go back, right?"

"Hmph, if we wait until things develop to that point, it will be too late." Nishizaki Taro said, raising his hand to pat Nishizaki Doujie's shoulder. "Besides, I'm doing this for you. You know, a large family business is often easy to build but difficult to maintain. What I'm doing now is to clear the obstacles for the Nishizaki family so that you can have fewer burdens in the future."

Nishizaki Doujie moved his lips, feeling vaguely uneasy. However, out of respect and fear for his grandfather, he could only lower his head and agree dejectedly, "I understand, Grandpa."

"Okay, pack up and let's get ready to go."

Taro Nishizaki directly issued the final order.

Nishizaki Doukai didn't dare to refute and could only respond softly.

While Taro Nishizaki was preparing to wash his head and give it to others, the Poirot Cafe also fell into a strange atmosphere.

Even though he was mentally prepared the first time, Toru Amuro still felt confused when he saw that Conan and his crew were so powerful and never missed their targets.

"What on earth is the principle behind this?" He murmured incomprehensibly, "Baichuan, are you really—"

"I've said it once, I really didn't do it, it really has nothing to do with me." Baichuan Qiu said helplessly.

He never expected that after he revealed this matter, Conan himself did not react at all. The first person who could not accept it was Toru Amuro.

It is true...

"Ahem, Amuro, maybe you can think about it from a different perspective—"

Seeing that Amuro Toru's thoughts were drifting further and further away, Shirakawa Akira felt that he still needed to save Amuro Toru's shaky worldview. He coughed lightly and whispered, "Perhaps the crime rate in this world is too high, so detectives are always needed to step forward? It's just because Conan is good at discovering cases and actively cooperates with investigations, so it seems that wherever he goes, crimes occur there."

"Is that so?"

Amuro Toru frowned.

"Yes, yes." Baichuanqiu nodded.

This is the principle that Conan figured out himself. Even Conan believes it, so Toru Amuro will definitely believe it too.

Sure enough, Amuro Toru's brows relaxed. "That makes sense. It seems that there are still many problems with public security in Tokyo recently. The police are still not fully utilized, which leads to frequent crime problems."

"It's time to clean up."

"Yeah, you're right." Baichuanqiu nodded frantically.

It’s just that the police have to work hard, they have to be rectified and work overtime every day.

Tsk tsk, that’s really miserable.
