Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 154 148. Lin Kaka is online

"You have already planned it, so what difference does it make whether I support it or not?" Kawashima Hideo pulled the corner of his mouth with a forced smile.

Everything was going according to Hideo Kawashima's plan, but unexpectedly, Section Chief Shiratori showed up halfway.

Now Kuroiwa Tatsuji has really found a chance to turn the tables.

There was nothing Kawashima Hideo could do at this point, after all, their most important "business" was still mixed together. They couldn't just tear each other apart.

However, this did not prevent Kawashima Hideo from warning Kuroiwa Tatsuji: "I don't care what you do, but Kuroiwa, you're the one who's careful not to mess up."

"Hmph, don't worry about that. I know what's going on. That place has been deserted for twelve years. There won't be any problems."

Hideo Kawashima finally left in a huff, and as for Tatsuji Kuroiwa, he looked at Hideo Kawashima's back and spat heavily.

"Bah, what the hell!"

"Hirata, Hirata!" After spitting on the ground, Kuroiwa Tatsuji shouted loudly and called Hirata and Akira in.

"Village Chief, you are looking for me."

"Hirata, go and compile some information about Keiji Aso and where he lives for me."

"A, Aso Keiji?!" Hirata Kazuaki was horrified. To be honest, he had not experienced the incident twelve years ago, but he couldn't help but feel guilty.

As Kuroiwa Tatsuji's secretary, Hirata Kazuaki naturally had to deal with the "washing powder" business. Some of Kuroiwa's previous secretaries left immediately after they came into contact, while others were disposed of by Kuroiwa.

Only Hirata and Akira were bold enough. After getting involved in this business, they were able to handle it with ease, if not like a fish in water.

He was indeed very courageous, because he was doing the same business privately, keeping a portion of the goods when he bought them, and selling them all when he had enough.

The method of transaction he used was the piano that Keiji Aso left behind in the community center.

Originally, this piano was used by Keiji Aso when he was a mule. There was a secret compartment under the piano for carrying "washing powder".

Now Hirata Kazuaki is making good use of the waste - he was naturally surprised when he heard Kuroiwa Tatsuji suddenly mention Aso Keiji.

However, Hirata Kazuaki's behavior seemed timid to Kuroiwa Tatsuji. Hirata Kazuaki usually showed Kuroiwa the image of being cautious and a little cowardly.

So Hei Yan scolded in dissatisfaction: "Baka! That guy is already dead, what's there to be afraid of!"

"Ha Yi! I understand, Village Chief. I will go collect information overnight!"

After realizing that his acts of embezzlement and misappropriation were not exposed, Hirata Kazuaki gradually calmed down and bowed to Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

Upon hearing this, Kuroiwa Tatsuji showed a satisfied expression and signaled Hirata and Akira to go down.

"It is now certain that there is a high probability that there is a hidden story behind Keiji Aso's death, and it is also possible that it is related to the island's village chief Tatsuji Kuroiwa and the richest man Kawashima Hideo."

In the guest room, Shiratori and two police officers were reviewing the whole day's operations.

This was proven by the villagers' silence about Keiji Aso and the repeated tests made by Kuroiwa and Kawashima on Shiratori during the dinner.

Shiratori was not afraid of their investigation, because there really was a department head and a section chief named Shiratori in the third department of Shiratori Group.

Before leaving, Shiratori had already informed these two relatives from his side branch, so the real Section Chief Shiratori simply took a short vacation at home.

Shiratori doesn't need to worry about the identity issue. What he needs to do now is to quickly find the flaws of Heiyan and Kawashima.

"Rice Flower Library...Rice Flower Library?!" Shiratori was pondering Kawashima Hideo's self-introduction to him, and suddenly discovered a blind spot.

As the richest man on Yueying Island, Kawashima Hideo would not find it strange no matter what kind of industry he bought in Tokyo.

But the only thing that really puzzled Shiratori was the library.

There were so many profitable businesses to pursue, but instead he opened a library in Beika-cho.

Is this reasonable?

Shiratori often passed by the Mika Library, which was a pretty good place. It was a waste of resources to use it as a library. Thinking of this, Shiratori ordered one of his men, "Go find a phone now, don't contact this office, I'll give you a number."

After saying this, Shiratori wrote down Hayashi Ryoma's number in the police manual and handed it to his men.

The subordinate took the slip of paper and wrote down the number and asked Bai Niao: "So what should I call this person?"

"Just call him President."

"Yes, I'll go now."

It's not that there is no signal on Yueying Island, but the coverage is not very comprehensive. At least the three people in the guest room, Bai Niao, have no signal at all.

I don’t know if this was done intentionally by Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

Tokyo, the Isshinkai base.

Just when Lin Longma was about to get off work and take a break, a call suddenly came in on his cell phone.

Lin Longma was sure that this number was definitely calling him for the first time.

Lin Longma thought for a moment and answered the phone: "Moshi Moshi, this is Lin Longma."

"Good evening, President! I'm sorry to bother you by calling you!" Shiratori's men came up and gave a standard apology, almost giving Lin Longma a hard time.

But since he called himself the president...

"Who are you with?"

"President, I am a subordinate of Section Chief Shiratori."

"Oh! It turns out that you are Shiratori's subordinate." Shiratori's identity was also informed to Lin Longma, just so that he could help provide cover when necessary.

Lin Longma didn't know what Shiratori's current situation was, so he simply asked, "Has your Section Chief Shiratori found a suitable place?

Do you want me to find someone to help you?"

"Thank you very much for your concern, President, but you don't need to do that for now. Section Chief Shiratori is currently on Moon Shadow Island and will probably negotiate with the local village chief and the richest man tomorrow."

When Lin Longma heard this, he burst out laughing: "Moon Shadow Island... the richest man?"

How can a tiny island be named the richest man? It's hard to hold back.

The police officer on the other side acted as if he didn't hear Lin Longma's sneer: "Yes, President, the richest man also has an investment in Tokyo, it's the Beihua Library."

"Rice Flower Library? I see."

Lin Longma already understood the meaning of the police officer calling him.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Longma picked up the landline on the table and said, "Jintian, ask Bai Shi to prepare a car. Oh, and prepare an extra car and bring some people this time.

Let’s go to the Rice Flower Library.”

Ten minutes later, Jin Tian came to Lin Longma's office: "Brother, the car and manpower are ready."

"We'll go when we're ready."

Lin Longma stood up but found that Jintian was hesitant to speak: "Why do you look like that? What do you want to say?"

"Brother, if there's danger in the library...then let me go in your place?"

Normally, Lin Longma usually takes Jintian and Shiraishi with him when he travels. Now that Lin Longma suddenly needs help, Jintian can't help but feel a little worried.
