Chapter 283: The Nishizaki Family’s “Return” (1) (Catch Bugs)
"Uh—indeed there is."
Shirakawa Qiu thought for a moment and told Conan the truth.
Instead of letting the child investigate on his own and causing trouble for him, it is better to satisfy his curiosity directly.
Sure enough, Conan continued to ask: "In other words, the Nishizaki family is actually behind Linlu Construction?"
Baichuanqiu shrugged: "I think it should be obvious now, right?"
After all, no one would believe that the things that Nishizaki Daisora did during his lifetime had nothing to do with Nishizaki Daisora himself, or even with the Nishizaki family.
Large families have always been a society where everyone prospers and suffers together. Even the actions of side branches will be tacitly assumed to have the support of the main family.
So don’t think that now that Kenji Nishizaki has “committed suicide out of fear of punishment,” the other members of the Nishizaki family will be safe. This case will more or less cause them serious damage.
But Conan didn’t quite understand why the Nishizaki family had come to this point.
It was a car accident frame-up, and then there were thugs hired to injure people. It has been seven years. What kind of grudge has to last so long?
Conan frowned. "The Nishizaki family has always been a very prestigious family, whether seven years ago or seven years later. Why would they target Mr. Shirakawa?"
"Of course it's because I'm their worst enemy."
Baichuan Qiu said seriously.
Conan's eyes: "Huh?"
"No, to be precise, our family is somewhat unlucky to theirs, so they are afraid."
Shirakawa Qiu stroked his chin and changed his words very carefully.
Yes, nine years ago, Shirakawa Qiu's father, Shirakawa Masanao, defeated the Nishizaki family. Nine years later, he also defeated the Nishizaki family - is there anything wrong with that?
It's absolutely fine, there's nothing wrong with it!
Conan was speechless.
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have killed my parents nine years ago and then wanted to kill me..."
Shirakawa Qiu dropped another bomb.
Conan: "???"
Wait, wait—
Does this have anything to do with Mr. Shirakawa's parents?
Seeing Conan's astonished expression, Baichuanqiu sighed with regret and began his own deceptive speech: "Alas——"
"That was a very sad past—"

Tokyo, Special Investigation Department.
"What did you say?"
Nishizaki Zhouming's brows were furrowed.
No one expected that just a Gion Festival would lead to the death of the second brother and nephew, and the business of the geisha house would be exposed.
Nishizaki Zhouming smoked a cigarette with some irritation, and the lenses of his glasses reflected a cold light in the smoke.
“Has the online public opinion been exposed?”
"Not yet." Nishizaki Toukei answered. He had been paying attention to the situation on the Internet. After all, he had been criticized by public opinion several times before. Now that something like this happened again, he had to be on guard. However, the news reports on the Internet were basically about major accidents that occurred during the Gion Festival. Things about their Nishizaki family and the geisha house had not been posted on the Internet yet.
"What did the old man say?"
"Grandpa said that now that things have come to this, we should seize the initiative in shaping public opinion. Instead of constantly being on guard, we should proactively release this news," Nishizaki Doujie said. "Next, my father will hold a press conference on behalf of the Nishizaki family to explain the situation to the public in advance and offer a sincere apology."
"As for those members of the side branches, they will cooperate with our actions and take the initiative to go to the police to take the blame."
In any case, Taro Nishizaki never thought of letting his master's family suffer.
All the police want is a result, so just clean up the mess and hand the person over to the police.
They have been riding on the Nishizaki family's coattails for so many years, it's time for those side branches to contribute.
Xi Qi Zhou Ming didn't care about the life and death of those people from the side branches, he just felt a little strange.
"How did Shirakawa Qiu know about the geisha house?"
"Eh?" Nishizaki Tokazu thought carefully. "It seems he originally came to Kyoto looking for someone. Perhaps he discovered something fishy while searching. After all, Second Uncle's 'business' has been growing bigger and bigger over the years, so it's possible that the news leaked out."
"That's not right." Xi Qi Zhou Ming exhaled his cigarette, "I'll go investigate."
"Well, I'll leave Tokyo to Third Uncle," Nishizaki Doujie said. "Second Uncle passed away, and there's currently no one to take over Xingyao Entertainment. Grandpa has already sent his trusted aides over. Third Uncle, please help and look after them. We'll do our best to keep Xingyao and the Geisha House separate."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Nishizaki Zhouming continued to smoke until the last puff of smoke came out, then he dialed the number again.
"Let's check what those two from the Metropolitan Police Department have been doing recently."
About ten minutes later, he received a reply.
"One is investigating the detention center, and the other is investigating Xingyao Entertainment's tax issues?"
Nishizaki Zhouming was so angry that he laughed.
"What a courage—"
Do you really think that there is no one left in the Nishizaki family?
-
Metropolitan Police Department.
It was time to get off work. After finishing his work, Matsuda Jinpei lowered his head and sent a group message to several members of the "search team" next door: "Meet at the usual place?"
Takagi Wataru: "Okay."
Miwako Sato: "OK."
Shiratori Renzaburo: "No problem."
However, just as the four of them were about to get up and leave, they heard Megure Jusan's angry shout from behind: "Matsuda! Takagi! Where are you going?"
Everyone froze.
Matsuda Jinpei turned his head with a natural expression: "Inspector Megure, our mission is complete, so we can leave work normally."
Megure Jusan's face was filled with anger. He glanced at the other police officers in the office area and shouted in a low voice, "The four of you, get out of here and come to my office."
Matsuda Jinpei and others immediately exchanged glances.
Matsuda Jinpei: "What's going on? Is it possible that Takagi's report wasn't properly submitted?"
Takagi Shigeru shook his head frantically: "I didn't, I was really at the bottom!"
Sato Miwako nodded in confirmation: "I have confirmed it too."
Shiratori Renzaburo: "Yesterday it was at the bottom."
Jinpei Matsuda held his chin in his hand.
That’s strange, how did Inspector Megure know that?
As expected, when the four of them walked into the office, they were met with a torrent of criticism from Megure Jusan: "You four! Have you been doing nothing all day? What are you doing going to the detention center all day? Do you want to eat pork chop rice with them? Don't you think there aren't enough cases lately?"
Matsuda Jinpei shrank his head and replied quietly, "Not many recently."
I have to say, Tokyo has been really peaceful lately.
Megure Jusan's eyes widened in anger as he fixed his gaze on Matsuda Jinpei: "Matsuda, do you want to go back to the Mobile Unit? I think our Section 1 is really not capable of controlling you!"
Jinpei Matsuda shut up completely.
This is the harshest thing Megure Jusan has ever said. It can be seen that he is really very angry now.
"Give me an explanation. Why are you running to the detention center every day instead of doing your own duties?" Megure Jusan said coldly. "Don't even think about lying. I've received a letter of complaint against the four of you, alleging that you've abused your authority and violated regulations. This is already extremely serious. You'd better explain it to me clearly."
Report letter?
Jinpei Matsuda frowned.
"Officer Megure, we are investigating a case." Shiratori Renzaburo took the initiative to speak. "We have applied to you for permission for this matter. It is not a violation of regulations. Moreover, all the actions were carried out outside of working hours, so it cannot be considered an abuse of power."
Megure Jusan frowned: "What case? When did you apply to me?"
Takagi Wataru carefully pulled out a document from the pile of documents behind Megure Jusan and handed it to Megure Jusan timidly.
Megure Jusan: “?”
He was really pissed off and laughed.
When I opened it again, wow, it was the case from nine years ago, Hase Jin's case.
A major case that had already been closed, but he secretly went to the detention center to investigate without permission, and even dared to play tricks on him——
Megure Jusan's hands were shaking, and he took deep breaths, causing the folder to creak as he squeezed it.
Finally, he couldn't help it, closed the folder and hit everyone on the head.
dong dong dong-
Four people, not one was spared.
