I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 466 Brutal Methods (2 Updates)
Shiraishi E's gaze was fixed on the first suspect—the young man who had bumped into Kudo Yusaku.

The other person was sitting alone in a corner, with a cup of cold Americano in front of them.

He led Ran, Sonoko, and Yusaku forward.

"Sato-kun, it's been a long time!!" Shiraishi E greeted him warmly with an exaggerated smile, and walked over to the man's table in three quick steps, patting him enthusiastically on the shoulder.

The young man was startled by the sudden greeting, his coffee cup wobbling. He frowned, scrutinizing the stranger before him: "Do I know you?"

While using the corner of her eye to confirm Ran and Sonoko's location, Shiraishi continued her performance: "Have you forgotten me? Me?! We met before at the Beika University library, and you even borrowed my notes!"

He quickly made a hand gesture behind his back.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi exchanged a glance. Although they hesitated for a moment, they moved in unison, standing on either side of the man to cleverly block the view of other customers.

This left Yusaku, who was standing to the side, somewhat confused, wondering what they were planning to do.

"Mihana University?" The young man looked confused. "I graduated from high school and never went to university... Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shiraishi E's right fist came hurtling towards her with a whoosh.

With a muffled thud, the young man was knocked unconscious.

Just as his head was about to slam heavily onto the coffee table, Shiraishi E reacted quickly and caught his head, gently placing it against the wall.

"I'm sorry," he said perfunctorily, then quickly sat down next to the unconscious man and began searching him with professional technique.

From the inside pockets of the suit to the hems of the trousers, even the leather shoes were meticulously maintained.

The briefcase was opened and turned inside out, but in the end, the person shook their head in disappointment.

Yusaku Kudo stood to the side, his eyes wide open behind his glasses.

He had seen all sorts of crime-solving methods, but this simple and brutal approach was a first for him.

The mystery novelist couldn't help but stroke his chin, thinking that if this were written into a novel, readers would definitely find it too exaggerated.

“No…none.” Shiraishi E stood up as if nothing had happened, and even thoughtfully adjusted the unconscious man’s position to make him look like he was asleep.

The second target was a muscular middle-aged man with a thick neck almost as wide as his head, who looked like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.

"Mr. Yamada, it's been a long time! Have you been busy lately?" Shiraishi E approached with a beaming smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen you at the gym."

This time, without waiting for a hand signal, Xiaolan and Yuanzi had already automatically taken their positions and formed a human wall.

Yuzuru hesitated for a moment, then joined in the act of shielding the waiter, his tall figure blocking the waiter's view.

The burly man looked up, frowned, and asked, "Who are you? I don't know you."

"It's good that you don't know me, it's good that you don't know me." Shiraishi E's smile suddenly turned dangerous: "If you knew me, I'd find it troublesome."

In the blink of an eye, he threw a straight punch at his opponent's face.

Surprisingly, the man simply shook his head and didn't fall down.

He stood up angrily, his eyes bulging like saucers: "You little brat, you're asking for it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Shiraishi E delivered a powerful uppercut to the abdomen before the opponent could throw a punch.

The burly man immediately bent over like a shrimp, and Shiraishi E followed up with another right hook that slammed into his face.

This time, the burly man finally fainted.

The body, weighing over 200 pounds, collapsed weakly towards the small orchid garden next to it, and two female high school students quickly joined forces to support him.

However, the burly man was too heavy, and even the two of them together could barely support him, it was very difficult for them.

Shiraishi E went over to help, easily pulling the burly man over and pressing him into a chair. He muttered under his breath, "Wouldn't it be better to just pass out quietly? You'll only get a couple more punches."

He crouched down and began a systematic search.

At this moment, Yusaku couldn't help but whisper to Ran and Sonoko, "Has he always been like this before?"

Ran twisted her fingers awkwardly, saying sheepishly, "No, not really. Generally, Hui is very good. It's just... sometimes she can be a bit direct." Sonoko wasn't embarrassed at all, saying, "That's called being easygoing! It's so efficient!"

Yusaku silently pushed up his glasses, then said, "Anyway... a solution that solves the problem is a good solution!"

“He didn’t have it either.” Shiraishi finished her investigation of the burly man and then turned to the third suspect: “In that case, the answer is obvious.”

The third suspect was a stylish short-haired beauty who had been keeping an eye on Yuzaku's movements.

When she saw Shiraishi E's gaze fall on her, she clearly panicked, stood up, threw down a few banknotes, grabbed her handbag, and rushed out.

"Looks like you're feeling guilty." Shiraishi E narrowed her eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"I'll go after them." Yusaku didn't hesitate and quickly chased after them.

They've done so much research for him, he can't just stand by and do nothing.

Watching Yusaku leave the restaurant, Ran and Sonoko looked at E Shiraishi: "Should we go up and help?"

“Let’s go all the way and go together,” said Shiraishi E, starting to move towards the door. “Besides… Mr. Yusaku is a gentleman, and he probably wouldn’t be so polite as to be rough with a lady.”

Xiaolan and Yuanzi thought it made sense, so they followed.

After leaving the coffee shop, the three saw Yusaku had already started running, so they ran after him.

Although Yuzuo is a refined and cultured man who spends long hours writing at his desk, he is also incredibly physically fit.

He didn't rush to catch the fashionable woman, but instead kept chasing her, constantly wearing her down.

After running for about ten minutes, Yusaku noticed that the fashionable woman had slowed down considerably and had moved away from the crowded area.

Yuzuru then sped up to catch up with her, grabbed her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, please stop."

Seeing that she couldn't shake off Yuzuru, the fashionable woman decisively took off her coat, then slumped to the ground, ripped her inner clothes to shreds, and shouted loudly, "Help! Help me!! Someone's trying to rape me!!"

Upon hearing this, the passersby immediately stopped in their tracks. They first looked at the fashionable woman's appearance and, after confirming that she was a great beauty, then sized up Kudo Yusaku. He wore glasses, had little muscle, and looked like a weakling.

Immediately, several passersby, eager to help, rushed forward to "rescue the damsel in distress," questioning, "Hey, you, what are you trying to do to this lady?"

"To do such a despicable thing in broad daylight, is there no justice? Is there no law?"

"Come on, let's go to the police station!"

"…………"

When Yuzuo saw that these unsuspecting bystanders had been fooled, he felt a headache coming on and didn't know how to handle the situation.

Just as he was thinking, Shiraishi E arrived.

Upon witnessing this, he kicked one helpful passerby away, then slapped a second one to the ground. He then grabbed a third passerby by the hair, dragged him in front of the stylish woman, and said, "Open your dog eyes and look! This guy is a serial killer!!"

After letting go of the other person's hair, Shiraishi E reached into the fashionable woman's handbag and "took out" a handgun.

When the other passersby saw the gun, their faces changed drastically. They even forgot about their melons and ran away in a panic.

The three well-meaning passersby, ignoring the beating they had received, turned pale and, after uttering a few curses, turned and ran away.

The fashionable woman was completely stunned; she had no idea there was a handgun in her handbag!
Shiraishi E slapped the fashionable woman across the face and said rudely, "Get up. If you try anything funny again... I'll strip you naked and throw you in the street."

"Ah...no, no...please don't strip me naked." The fashionable beauty covered her slapped face, stood up from the ground in a panic, and looked at Shiraishi E with fear in her eyes.

Even though the other person was wearing a school uniform, she didn't dare treat them like a student at all.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yusaku couldn't help but smile wryly.

He knew he looked too kind, so it was hard for him to intimidate people.

And his style of doing things is too mild.

He felt he needed to make a change, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in that organization.
