Chapter 286 Case Follow-up (1)
Café Poirot.
Baichuanqiu lay on the recliner, swinging his feet leisurely, squinting his eyes contentedly: "Ah, days like this are what life is all about——"
Amuro Toru, who came over, was a little amused: "Look at what you said, it seems like you are going out to suffer."
"Eh? Amuro understands me too well. I really suffered--"
Shirakawa Qiu thought about this trip to Kyoto and touched his chin meaningfully: "Ah... I suffered so much."
Amuro Toru chuckled: "I've heard from Kazami that you were almost taken away as the murderer for investigation because you lived next door to the murder scene."
Toru Amuro absolutely refused to admit it. When he learned the news, he laughed secretly for a long time.
Baichuan Qiu, however, had half-moon eyes and had already seen through Amuro Toru: "Haha, you must be secretly laughing at me."
Amuro Toru: “Eh? Is there?”
The blonde clerk blinked, her eyes full of innocence.
Baichuan Qiu snorted lightly.
Amuro Toru: "Okay, but compared to this, I think you would like to know more about the follow-up investigation of that case."
"Hmm, who takes over next?"
Although the incident at the geisha house had a bad impact, it had not yet reached the level where the police needed to be dispatched. I think that after Yuya Kazami had intimidated the people at the scene, he would probably hand the case over to ordinary police officers who would supervise from the side.
"The investigation into the geisha house was ultimately handed over to the Kyoto Prefectural Police Department," Amuro Toru added. "Don't worry. The previous head of the Kyoto Prefectural Headquarters was already arrested and imprisoned following the Hayashiro Construction case. The current head is a completely different person, and he just happened to be new in office. This case will help him establish his authority, so he'll definitely handle the matter well."
It is said that a new official will start with three major actions. This new minister is worried that there are no cases to investigate. Now the case of the geisha house has been handed to him. Unless he is stupid, he will seize the opportunity to investigate thoroughly.
So regarding this point, Toru Amuro is still relatively relieved.
"As for Xingyao Entertainment, the company behind the geisha house, it's currently under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. After all, Xingyao Entertainment's headquarters is still in Tokyo, and cross-regional investigations are too troublesome. Local investigations are more efficient."
Baichuanqiu understood.
Simply put, the geisha house is taken over by Kyoto Prefecture, while Star Entertainment is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"But I've had Kazami investigate, and the situation isn't optimistic," Amuro Toru said. "The geisha house is only registered under the name of Xingyao Entertainment. Aside from personnel transfers, there's no direct financial dealings between the two parties. If the Nishizaki family is determined to divide up the geisha house and keep Xingyao Entertainment, then I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with Xingyao Entertainment this time."
The Nishizaki family was smart enough. As soon as things started to show signs of trouble, they decisively began to divide the geisha house so that Xingyao Entertainment would not be affected by the geisha house.
Everyone can guess this situation, but it is a bit regrettable.
"I expected this." Baichuan Qiu wasn't too disappointed. "These are basically the only important industries the Xiqi family has. After Linlu Construction collapsed, only Xingyao Entertainment and Xiqi Group can continue to make money for them. If Xingyao Entertainment also collapses, their family will have to rely on their old capital."
Linlu Construction was the responsibility of a branch of the Nishizaki family, namely the brothers Nishizaki Daisora and Nishizaki Kenji. But they are both dead now, and Linlu Construction has become a thing of the past.
Xingyao Entertainment was run by the second son of the Nishizaki family, Nishizaki Hayabusa, and his son, Nishizaki Osamu, who was also responsible for the company. However, both father and son were deceased, and Xingyao Entertainment was currently being managed by one of Nishizaki's closest confidants.
The Nishizaki Group, which was the former business of the Nishizaki family, was managed by the head of the Nishizaki main family, Yuuki Nishizaki. He was a relatively mediocre person with no outstanding abilities, but he was very stable. He probably couldn't expand the family business financially, but he did have the ability to protect the family fortune.
In addition, there are two people in the main family who are worthy of attention.
One was the future heir of the Nishizaki family, Nishizaki Toukei. He wasn't currently involved in any of the Nishizaki family's businesses, and his background was clean; he was a pure politician. It was clear the Nishizaki family had already paved the way for him. As long as he slowly gained experience, he would eventually become an important member of parliament or minister.
The other is Nishizaki Zhouming, who currently works in the Special Investigation Department. He is a very special person. He neither does business nor becomes a politician. It seems that his relationship with the Nishizaki family is lukewarm. He never shows up at the Nishizaki family, and he has not even borrowed the power of the Nishizaki family in a high-profile manner. It seems that he has always relied on his own efforts to reach his current position step by step.
Of course, this seems to be related to his life experience, but many years have passed now, and fewer people know about it, so further verification is needed.
Amuro Toru: "I will let Kazami continue to pay attention to the matter of the geisha house."
Baichuan Qiu nodded: "Yes, thank you."
In any case, it's a good thing for him.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how you've been doing lately. I've already contacted Hagiwara and Matsuda, but as for you and Morobushi, I don't know how you're doing yet." Shirakawa Akane asked with a smile.
Perhaps because he has been with Conan, his life has been relatively stable recently. He actually spent nearly half a month in Kyoto, so he really feels like a long time has passed since he last saw him for a day.
"Hiro just came back a few days ago." Amuro Toru smiled, "Once he finishes handing over his current tasks, you can take a break for a while."
Baichuanqiu: "Has Green Chat been dealt with?"
Zhu Fujingguang had been staying in the United States before, dealing with the organization's code-named members in the U.S. branch with the FBI. It is indeed time for him to come back now.
"Yeah." Amuro Toru nodded, "He came back with that nasty FBI agent. We're staying together temporarily."
Shirakawa Qiu: "Oh——"
If he remembered correctly, then they were living together in Kudo Shinichi's house?
Uh...the FBI can't find a place to live, so can't you police officers find a place to live either?
Why do they have to live in the protagonist's house?
Bai Chuanqiu's expression was hard to describe: "Is your public security short of funds recently?"
Amuro Toru understood Shirakawa Akane's voiceover and coughed lightly in silence: "Keep an eye on that FBI agent while you're at it."
It’s better to keep an eye on that guy Shuichi Akai personally to prevent him from messing around in their country again.
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
Very good, worthy of being the police.
Dutifully.
"As for me, things have been pretty quiet lately." Amuro Toru shrugged. "I don't know what Rum is busy with. He doesn't even come to the sushi restaurant much anymore."
"but--"
"Some time ago, that guy from the Special Investigation Department came looking for you again."
"Ok?"
Baichuan Qiu raised his eyes in surprise: "Morimoto Qiu?"
"Yes." Amuro Toru thought of the unpleasant meeting that day, and pulled the corners of his mouth with a bad expression. "I heard that you left Tokyo. His attitude was very bad, and later I kicked him out."
When Baichuan Qiu thought of the original owner's so-called brother, he pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly.
Haha, well done.
