Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 281 The Screaming Under the Night
"If you want to say that, I don't seem to have any reason to refuse."

The sky was getting dark, and after sitting in silence for a while, Uehara Katsumi's wet tongue brushed his lips, smiled and lifted his foot to kick off the stone in front of the toe of his shoe, looking up at the starry sky in the distance.

The back is slightly bowed, and the spirit is high.

"So, we have reached a consensus?"

Shiratori raised his left hand and patted the back of his hand on his chest, smiling happily.

"That's right, but I have to remind you in advance that no matter what you find, you have to tell me first, and we will discuss the corresponding countermeasures together, and don't act without authorization." Speaking of business, Uehara Katsumi said with a serious expression.

"No problem." Shiratori patted his chest and assured: "You can rest assured about this, I will never make fun of my life. What should I check first?"

"The Karasuma Foundation."

"What did you say?"

"The Karasuma Foundation."

Katsumi Uehara stood up slowly, patted the dust on his buttocks, and repeated: "You heard me right."

"..."

This was an explosive news, and it almost burned Shiratori Ren Saburo's brain to dryness.

What level of existence is the Karasuma consortium?

That is the veteran chaebol who has already achieved the dominance of the Japanese conglomerate before the Suzuki consortium dominated the apex of the Japanese conglomerate. Whether it is financial resources, power, or relationship network, it is now a mystery.

As one of the best young masters in the contemporary Japanese consortium circle, even Rensaburo Shiratori himself is extremely unfamiliar with this Karasuma consortium.

Many people in the outside world are rumoring that the Karasuma Group is in decline and its international strategy is out of balance. Therefore, in recent decades, its sense of presence has greatly weakened, and its assets in Japan have shrunk step by step.But only people in their consortium circle know that the Karasuma consortium is just broken up into pieces.

When he heard rumors related to the Karasuma Consortium before, out of the instinct of a policeman, he also asked his father, but the reply he got was that it should not be dealt with.

Thinking of this, Ren Saburo Shiratori swallowed subconsciously: "Uehara, you wouldn't say that this mysterious organization in black was funded by the Karasuma Foundation, right?"

"Well, the person who founded and controlled this winery is called Renye Karasuma."

——? !

Katsumi Uehara nodded, the shocking news like a bolt from the blue completely stunned Shiratori.

That was a big figure in the last century. According to the official eulogy of the Karasuma Foundation, this person was buried in the ground 40 years ago, and his father also attended Karasuma Renye's funeral.

Considering that an elderly person should not have so much time and energy to build a network of relationships and such a large-scale criminal organization, this winery should have been established when he was not that old.That is, perhaps almost a century in existence? ? ?

Shiratori Ren Sanlang unconsciously stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, it was obviously difficult to digest this shocking information for a while.

"Then, who is running this organization now? Renye Karasuma's offspring? I don't seem to have heard that he has any offspring."

"I don't know, it might be Renye Karasuma's descendant, or it might be a professional manager." Katsumi Uehara bit his lips and said word by word: "The most likely thing is him."

"This is impossible!"

Shiratori jumped up with a "whoosh", but fortunately there was no one around, and because the manor was too big, his exclamation did not attract anyone's attention: "He died 40 years ago, dead Time is a dying old man.

"If he is still alive, how old is he now? 140 years old? 160 years old? Or 180 years old? How can humans live so long?"

"Human beings can't survive, but what if there are medicines to help them?"

Anyway, after checking around and no one was there, Uehara Katsumi did not shy away from the existence of Aptx-4869, and told all of this series of things.

Shiratori Ren Sanlang, whose world view was severely impacted, stumbled on his heels, staggered and almost fell to the ground, his brows were furrowed.

"Remember to keep it secret, Shiratori, I only told you about this matter, and even the Megure Police Department didn't know about it." Uehara Katsumi stretched out his hand and patted his friend's shoulder, sighing.

"...Well, I see, I will keep my mouth shut."

Shiratori, who came back to his senses after slowing for a while, took a deep breath, took several deep breaths in a row, and then suppressed the heart that was beating rapidly due to fear in his chest: "The matter of the Karasuma consortium, I The investigation will be conducted in secret."

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about Renye Karasuma."

Katsumi Uehara, with one hand in his pocket, smiled and said another direction: "For us now, compared to the Karasuma Consortium that is on the bright side, we are in the dark.

"We don't need to investigate the connection between Karasuma and the winery as soon as we come up, we just need to target the person who is now at the helm of the Karasuma consortium and the members of the board of directors. Those who can get a share of the Karasuma consortium , I think their bottoms should not be clean.

"Check slowly, and don't worry too much. After all, we are not the only ones who are eyeing the winery. The police, FBI, CIA, MI6, CSIS, BDN and other agencies are also eyeing it. We don't need to expose ourselves to the sun."

"... Uehara, how do you know so much?"

"Miyano Shiho told me before he died that I would help settle her sister as a condition of the deal."

When Katsumi Uehara said this, Shiratori couldn't help sighing when he thought of the figure who was sent to the hospital with tubes all over his body.

Damn the Karasuma Foundation.

Fist hardened.

"I see. It's more convenient for me to take the line with Karasuma. Leave it to me."

Katsumi Uehara didn't show any pretense any more, and punched him with a smile: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Shiratori, who understood what he meant, accepted it calmly. After patting his friend on the shoulder, he was full of emotion: "Now I am a bit like the policeman I dreamed of when I was a child. I can fight against the darkness with my own ability. You may not believe it if you tell me. That’s why I wanted to be a policeman because of Sato.”

"is it?"

Katsumi Uehara, who talked about his girlfriend, gave him a sideways glance, and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Although he can't remember why Shiratori aspired to be a policeman when he was a child, but he knows one thing very well, that is, Shiratori misidentified the wrong person, mistaking Sato as his first love.

This is outrageous.

But considering that Chiba next door seems to have an Ome...

Well, forget it, it's normal.

"Okay, let's go, the weather is about the same. After blowing out the birthday candles for the old man, I will report to him about the situation, and I will go home soon. How about you?"

Uehara, who put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the main entrance of the villa, resumed his carefree appearance, took out a box from his pocket, and popped two pieces of gum into his mouth to chew.

"I have to be late. I have some business matters. My dad asked me to explain to President Nagato in private."

"That's ok, Miwako and I are going to have a candlelight dinner after get off work, and there is no light bulb."

"... Uehara Katsumi!"

"Eh?! Eh! Calm down! Calm down! Shiratori, you are the police—"

Facing the surprised eyes of many servants along the way, after being hooped around the neck all the way up the stairs, the two stopped until the front of the Nagato bedroom on the third floor, and each took a calm breath to adjust their clothes——

"President Nagato, happy birthday."

"Happy birthday, Dad~~"

"President, happy birthday~"

"........."

In the huge bedroom, everyone who had obviously celebrated a round was beaming with joy, cutting the cake and sharing the joy of the birthday.

Seeing Uehara and Shiratori coming back together, the kind-hearted Mao Lilan couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she waved at the two: "Officer Uehara, Officer Shiratori, have you seen Mr. Nagato Hidetomi?"

"Isn't he always in the bedroom, I didn't see him move the nest, what's wrong?" Katsumi Uehara was a little surprised.

"Mr. Nagato Hideomi didn't come to eat the cake, Mr. Guangming has gone to find him." Conan, who was eating and drinking with a piece of cake, had a somewhat cute temperament, which made Uehara couldn't hold back, and rubbed his hands.

Needless to say, it feels really good.

Mori Kogoro contributed a lot.

"Guangming has been gone for so long and there is no response, I will make a call—"

On the side of the bedroom, a woman whom Uehara Katsumi was relatively unfamiliar with dialed the phone and pressed the speakerphone.

Not long after, Nagato Guangming's voice came from the receiver——

Only this time, it was a scream!
