The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 622: Fukatsu Harumi's Request

"Then I'll have to ask Miss Harumi for help when the time comes!"

Tokyo Ichi Hanawa was still a little hesitant at first, but on the one hand he thought about offending both sides, and on the other hand he felt that instead of spending money to find another singer, it would be better to leave this opportunity to his own people.

However, his approach was obviously not recognized by Asuka Shibasaki and Ema Anzai.

"La La, Mr. Bando's idea is very good,"

Shibasaki Asuka pretended to be indifferent and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, saying lightly,

“I just don’t know if someone can remain popular until then.”

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it."

Anzai Ema also sighed in cooperation and said with fake worry,

"After all, many popular singers nowadays become popular with one song and then quickly disappear from the public eye!"

Neither of them mentioned any names, but everyone knew who they were talking about.

In fact, Asuka Shibasaki and Ema Anzai had long felt uncomfortable with Harumi Fukatsu.

After all, both of them are "daughters of wealthy families" and have achieved some "success" in their respective fields. They must be very unhappy with a newcomer like Harumi Fukatsu who has no power, no background, and is younger than them.

Looking at people through such a filter, they were naturally filled with disdain and jealousy when they looked at Harumi Fukatsu's popular song.

Listening to the sour words of the two, although Yasuda Raiko was dissatisfied in her heart, she suppressed it after taking a deep breath.

After all, these two people are quite powerful, and no matter how dissatisfied she is, she cannot make enemies with them.

As for the person involved, Harumi Fukatsu, she now lowered her head deeply and dared not speak.

She is like those self-abased students on campus. The more she wants to lower her head, the more others want to step on her even lower.

Although this incident caused some unhappiness on both sides, Bando Kyoichi still had the ability to mediate, and with his mediation, the dinner was completed peacefully.

...................................

night time

It started snowing outside again, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow was even heavier than during the day.

After finishing their meal, the Baimasong family returned to their rooms. Of course, they had no plans to go to bed as it was still quite early.

The three of them played cards to kill time, planning to go to the hot springs later to take a bath, and then come back to sleep after that.

at this time......

“Boom…boom boom…”

There was a knock on the door of the room outside, which was adjacent to the outdoor corridor.

The visitor knocked tentatively at first, then seemed to have made up his mind and knocked twice more.

"Please come in——"

Miwako Sato shouted towards the door.

The door to the corridor was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in with his head slightly lowered.

"Oh, it's Miss Harumi."

Sato Miwako smiled and said,

"Please take a seat quickly."

Fukatsu Harumi did not sit down, but subconsciously lowered her head a little lower, and stammered in a tentative tone,

"I...I have something I want to get rid of Officer Whitehorse."

Some...things?

Hakuba Matsu, Sato Miwako, and Haibara Ai looked at each other and all noticed the meaning in each other's eyes.

Bai Masong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it finally came.

Generally speaking, when someone says something like this, it means something is about to happen.

"Let's sit down first and talk slowly."

Bai Masong also pointed to the seat opposite and spoke lightly to Fukatsu Harumi.

"Ah."

After getting a reply from Hakubamatsu, Harumi Fukatsu obediently sat down opposite the three of them.

Miwako Sato also immediately poured a cup of tea for Harumi Fukatsu. Basic etiquette must not be omitted.

Harumi Fukatsu took the tea, wrapped her hands around the teacup, and felt the warmth coming from inside out. Her heart also felt inexplicably warm.

She secretly made up her mind...

"call--"

Fukatsu Harumi took a deep breath. Although she still looked like someone who was easy to be bullied, there was already a strong light in her eyes.

“The story begins five years ago.”

Bai Masong gave her an affirmative look and asked her to continue.

Fukatsu Harumi nodded silently and continued,

"Five years ago, when I was a junior, a female classmate was accused of selling illegal drugs in school."

"She denied it vehemently, but the items were found in her dressing room during a search."

Those things...

Bai Masong's eyes suddenly focused. Could this matter also involve...

"Those things mean...drugs?"

Sato Miwako also thought of something and confirmed with Fukatsu Harumi with a very serious expression.

"Um,"

Fukatsu Harumi nodded.

"It was drugs. They found drugs in her dressing room."

"In order to clear her name, she made a decision and jumped off the school building."

At this point, the figure of that person flashed through Fukatsu Harumi's mind, and her expression became even gloomier.

"She is the senior who loves cherry blossoms that I told you about today. Her name is Suzuka Sakurako."

"Senior is kind-hearted by nature. It is absolutely impossible for her to sell drugs in school!"

Fukatsu Harumi clenched her fists and her tone became excited.

"So, that's why I would like to invite Officer Bai Ma to help me reinvestigate this case!"

"I understand what you mean."

Bai Masong took a sip of his tea, his face was already cold, but his voice remained calm.

"This happened five years ago. How much do you know about it?"

"I......"

Fukatsu Harumi listened to what Hakuba Song said and hesitated for a while, but finally said,

"At the time, there was actually another rumor in the school that Senior Sakurako was innocent and that someone else was the mastermind."

"However, their father is quite powerful in the local area, and their family is powerful, so no one dares to offend them..."

Quite powerful, powerful and influential...

Hearing what Harumi Fukatsu said, and hearing during the day that the three of them were from the same school.

Hakuba Matsu looked at Sato Miwako and Haibara Ai again, and already had some guesses in his mind.

"They are Asuka Shibasaki and Ema Anzai."

Harumi Fukatsu said in a serious voice.

really!

Bai Masong thought to himself.

Miwako Sato and Ai Haibara also had serious expressions. They had not had a very good impression of Asuka Shibasaki and Ema Anzai before, but they never expected that these two people would dare to do such a thing!

"so......"

Bai Ma Song sat cross-legged, holding a teacup in one hand and tapping the table with the other. He stared at Fukatsu Harumi with narrowed eyes and said in a deep voice,

"You want me to help you investigate Shibasaki Asuka and Anzai Ema?"
