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

Chapter 252: For the sake of family honor... killing people to silence them is unavoidable, right?

The next day, Nishizaki's house.

"Tell me again, what happened to the Hase family?"

The head of the Nishizaki family, Taro Nishizaki, had just returned from the Hakuba family when he received the news of "the sky falling".

Nishizaki Doukai knelt below, not daring to raise his head. There was a slight tremor in his voice. He did not dare to delay and told the old man who was sitting upright in front of him in detail what he had learned.

"Snapped--"

After hearing what Nishizaki Tokazu said, Nishizaki Taro was so angry that he slapped the table with his hand, making a crisp sound. "Who allowed you to act on your own initiative and hand the handle to the Hase family? That Kato Sakurako has been captured by them, how could they let her go so easily! You idiot!"

Nishizaki Doukai lowered his head, not daring to speak at all, only his body was trembling slightly.

Now Kato Sakurako has been caught in public by the Hase family and charged with "attempted murder". I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved peacefully.

"What exactly did you ask Kato Sakurako to do?" Taro Nishizaki asked, suppressing his anger.

"Grandpa, I really didn't ask her to kill anyone! I just asked her to talk to the killer and try to silence him with money, or let him hesitate for a while, preferably until Grandpa knew about this. But I didn't expect that Kato Sakurako would become an attempted murderer as soon as she saw that guy!"

"I'm afraid she fell into the Hase family's trap and was framed by that guy Hase Yuta!" Nishizaki Touki lowered his head. "Fortunately, Kato Sakurako doesn't know much about us, so Hase Yuta can't find any evidence against her."

Nishizaki Taro glared at him and took a deep breath: "You are still too naive."

As long as that woman has the contact records between Nishizaki Doukazu and her, this matter will not end well! The Hase family will definitely find ways to use this to cause trouble for them!

Nishizaki Doujie leaned down and prostrated himself on the ground: "I know that I made a big mistake in this matter. If the family needs me to sacrifice at any time, I, Nishizaki Doujie, will definitely-"

"Humph! It's not my turn as Nishizaki Taro's grandson to pay for this!"

Taro Nishizaki snorted coldly, interrupting him from speaking next.

The Nishizaki family has not yet reached the end of its rope, so how could they let the heir they have trained for many years take the blame for such a trivial matter?

"I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it."

Nishizaki Taro said lightly.

Nishizaki Doukashi replied in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"You go down, I'll think about this matter carefully." said Taro Nishizaki.

"Yes."

Nishizaki Doujie retreated to the door, paused, then looked at his grandfather timidly and asked in a low voice with some trepidation, "Grandpa, is that killer really the same person from back then?"

Taro Nishizaki didn't answer, but just closed his eyes with a bad expression.

Seeing this, Nishizaki Doukai knew that his grandfather did not intend to tell him, so he did not dare to ask any further. He stood at the door, bowed slightly, and then carefully left the room.

Only after everyone left did Nishizaki Taro open his eyes, with a look of deep suspicion in his eyes.

"Hase family...Jackson..."

The old man kept muttering to himself, his thoughts wandering.

The reason why he didn't answer Nishizaki Doukai's question just now was, on the one hand, that he wanted to keep it secret and calm his grandson, and on the other hand, he himself was not sure whether the man named Jackson was really the killer back then.

Because of the incident that happened that year...it was not him who took the initiative to look for him, but the killer who took the initiative to look for him. He did not know the killer.

Taro Nishizaki still remembers that it was nine years ago, when the Nishizaki family and the Hase family fought to the death for the next ruling power, using almost every possible means.

And just at this time, a mysterious phone call came one day.

Taro Nishizaki still remembers that phone call vividly.

"Who are you? How do you know so much about the Nishizaki family?"

Taro Nishizaki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling.

How come the other party has so many handles on them?

If this gets exposed...the Nishizaki family will definitely be finished!

Furthermore, the battle with the Hase family was now at its most intense stage. If they made even the slightest mistake, the other side would surely rush over and push them down.

"You don't need to care who I am. You just need to know that we actually have ten thousand ways to destroy your Nishizaki family, but we didn't because we are not interested in them. Do you understand?"

Taro Nishizaki: "What is your purpose?"

"The Hase family is hindering us, so he must not continue to hold power, that's all."

Nishizaki Taro blinked and asked tentatively, "So you want it?"

"It depends on whether you're willing to let it go—what do you think of the scandal just now?"

Nishizaki Taro: "This... will naturally lead to the complete downfall of our Nishizaki family—"

"From now on, all these scandals belong to the Hase family. Clean up all traces of your family."

Nishizaki Taro was silent for a moment. Although he truly wanted to see the Hase family annihilated, time didn't allow it. He could only say regretfully, "Time is too short. I can't clear all the evidence, but Windru's company is quite special. Perhaps I can use it..."

It’s a pity that these companies of Windru were originally his cash cows.

But in order to deal with his political enemy, Taro Nishizaki felt that it would be okay to sacrifice a few cash cows, as he could still earn them back.

"Tsk—that's fine."

The other side seemed a little disgusted.

"So what will you do?"

"Wait," the man on the other side said coldly, "We will only take action this once. You will decide what to do next. I assume you understand what to say and what not to say... So good luck, Master Nishizaki."

After he finished speaking, the phone was hung up. Taro Nishizaki slumped in the chair, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.

"Who are they?"

Taro Nishizaki expressed his doubts sincerely.

The other party did not make Taro Nishizaki wait too long.

A few days later, the president of Windru Group and his family were brutally murdered in their home. No one in the villa survived. The police found evidence of Hasegawa Hitoshi's economic crimes at the scene... These news turned Taro Nishizaki's confusion into horror.

That mysterious guy... actually killed President Windru's entire family! He even didn't spare the servants!

Looking at the scene of blood flowing like a river in the internal documents, Taro Nishizaki couldn't help but break out in a sweat even though he was knowledgeable.

He knew that this bloody scene was a demonstration by the mysterious man against him. If he dared to tell this matter to anyone, then their Nishizaki family... might also suffer such a tragedy.

terrible……

Taro Nishizaki had once heard from his elders that a huge dark cloud had always been hanging over their cherry blossoms, secretly controlling the situation of the cherry blossoms, infiltrating every corner and doing whatever it wanted...

It was not until now that Taro Nishizaki finally confirmed their existence and witnessed their horror.

But what could he do? This deal had never been consensual, and he no longer had the power to refuse.

Finally, Taro Nishizaki took the opportunity to suppress Hase Jin from coming to power, and secretly followed the family murder case. He found that the police did not find out anything except confirming that the murderer was a professional killer.

This made Taro Nishizaki breathe a sigh of relief.

Since then, the mysterious man has never appeared again, and the killer has also disappeared. It seems that it is really as the mysterious man said, they will only take action this time, and after achieving their goal, they will completely hide all traces.

Even Hasegawa Jin's "suicide" was arranged by Taro Nishizaki...

Unfortunately, their actions were not as clean as those of the assassins sent by the mysterious man, and they accidentally let Shirakawa Masanori of the Special Investigation Department get the evidence...

Later... for the honor of the Nishizaki family, it seemed that there was no other way except to continue killing people to silence them.
