The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 63 What a fool who threw himself into a trap
  Hearing that the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department had arrived on the island, Hirata Kazaki immediately left Kuroiwa's house and rushed to the village office.

In the few hours before the criminal police arrived, Hirata Kazuaki had already cleared away the evidence of "drug selling" from the Kawashima family and the Kuroiwa family.

Of course, the Yueying Island drug gang has existed for so many years, and it is impossible and unrealistic to completely eliminate all traces.

But Hirata and Akira at least took care of everything that could be linked to drug dealers in both companies.

In fact, Hirata and Ming didn't have to go to such trouble.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo are the two principals of the Moon Shadow Island drug trafficking gang and are also the main members of the gang.

Their deaths doomed the gang to fall apart.

At this time, Hirata Kazaki only needs to leave himself completely alone, even if the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department really find out something is wrong.

He could also stay out of it.

However, Hirata Kazuaki was greedy. The deaths of gang leaders Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo made him realize that this was a once-in-a-century opportunity.

Unless these two people die, no matter how dedicated Hirata and Ming are to their affairs, he will be nothing more than a gang member in the end.

The village chief and the richest man were like two big mountains, pressing down on Hirata Kazaki's head, blocking his upward path.

Although I don't know which kind person helped him move the first two hills, this does not prevent Hirata and Ming from taking advantage of the opportunity to do some things that they wanted to do but did not dare to do before.

He wants to reintegrate the Yueying Island drug gang.

As the village chief's secretary, Hirata Kazaki knew everything about the Yueying Island gang's purchasing channels and sales channels.

Sometimes he would even deduct some from batches of goods as his own kickbacks.

Whenever the goods in hand accumulate to a certain amount, Hirata Kazuaki will ship out once.

This can be regarded as a small benefit of being the secretary of the village chief.

Now Hirata Kazuaki is ready to wait for the limelight to pass before becoming bigger and stronger and creating greater glory.

Thanks again to the unknown messenger of justice. Drug dealers like Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo should accept this kind of justice!

The other villagers on the island thought that the village chief and the richest man just died in an accident. Only Hirata and Ming firmly believed that these two people were killed.

Of course, these are not important. What is important is that Hirata and Akira now have to find a way to fool the police from Tokyo.

In this regard, Hirata Kazuaki said that it was completely easy and stress-free to fool the police at the Metropolitan Police Department.

If this group of policemen were really useful, their Yueying Island drug gang would not have been able to safely transport goods to Tokyo for so many years.

When they arrived at the village office, Hirata and Ming asked the staff to inquire about the situation. The criminal police force was in the reception room asking the family members about the situation.

Hirata and Akira came to the reception room, knocked on the door, and walked in after getting permission.

"you are?"

"I am Hirata Kazuaki, secretary to the village chief Mr. Kuroiwa. I heard that the police officers came to the island and I came to see how I can help?"

The one who led the team was Officer Megure from the First Investigation Division. Based on his frequency of appearances, he could be regarded as a model worker of the First Investigation Division.

After hearing Hirata Kazaki introduce himself, Officer Megure exchanged a strange look with his subordinates in the room.

Then Officer Megure greeted Hirata Kazaki with a grateful expression: "Mr. Hirata, you really helped us a lot by coming here!

My colleague just got the autopsy reports of Mr. Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima from Dr. Asai.

It can only be said that there is a high probability that they did not die in an accident. "

Officer Megure walked up to Hirata Kazaki and extended his hand to him as if he was ready to shake hands.

Hirata Kazaki nodded repeatedly when he heard what Officer Megure said, and said as if he had known it for a long time:

"Yes, actually I felt something was wrong the first time I saw the scene. That's why I begged Dr. Asai to help conduct an autopsy on the village chief - Officer Megure, please find out the truth and clear our village chief's name." ah!"

The more Hirata and Ming talked, the more moved they became, and they were even more proud of their wit in the morning.

He didn't have much suspicion in the first place. After experiencing this performance, how could anyone doubt him?

When Hirata and Akira saw Officer Megure from Tokyo preparing to shake hands with him, they hurriedly stretched out their hands to show humility.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Hirata Kazaki stretched out his hands, two plainclothes detectives from the First Search Section overcame Officer Megure and controlled the confused Hirata Kazaki.

Even though Hirata Kazaki had handcuffs on both wrists, he still couldn't figure out why the police had to handcuff him.

"Officer Megure, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, right?" Although Hirata Kazaki was a little confused, he was not panicked at all.

Because the deaths of the village chief and the richest man really had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Hirata Kazuaki actually believed in the police's ability to handle the case and could clear his name.

Of course, he still needs to emphasize: "The deaths of Chief Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima really have nothing to do with me!

You cuffed me so hastily, weren't you afraid that I would file a complaint against you to the Metropolitan Police? "

Hirata Kazaki, who originally emphasized his innocence, asked the police to loosen his handcuffs without saying anything.

At least some guilty expressions must be seen on their faces.

But who would have thought that Hirata Kazuaki could read the look of fool in Officer Megure's eyes.

what?
  "You are Mr. Kazaki Hirata, the secretary to the mayor of Kuroiwa Village, right?"

"Yes, I am!"

"That's right, we are arresting you." Officer Megure finally checked his identity with Hirata Kazaki and said firmly:

"We are not looking for you because of the killings at the public hall, but because of the drug transportation and drug trafficking activities you have been carrying out.

I am here to formally inform you, Mr. Hirata."

"You are under arrest."

After Officer Megure said these words, he even looked up and down at Hirata Kazaki in front of him.

To be honest, in all his years as a police officer, this was the first time he had seen such an unsuspecting drug dealer as Hirata Kazaki.

This is of course a good thing for them, the criminal police, because they can arrest an important member of a drug gang without taking any risks.

Officer Megure recalled the contents of the account book given to him by the doctor named Makoto Asai.

It seems that among the entire Yueying Island drug gang, Hirata Kazaki is the only one who has any weight.

Of course, the arrest of Hirata Kazaki does not mean that everything will be fine for Officer Megure and his party. They at least need to determine whether the families of Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo are involved in their drug trafficking activities.

Otherwise, if they just walk away, it will be difficult to catch them again.

Fortunately, they now have Hirata Kazaki, an internal member of the gang.
.
  Outside the village office, Kuroiwa Reiko, also known as Kuroiwa Tatsuji, unexpectedly received a call from the bank.

The content of the call was very clear. It was just to inform Kuroiwa Reiko that her credit card had expired and needed to be repaid.

This phone call made Kuroiwa Lingzi very irritated.

In the past, his credit card repayments were handled by his father's secretary, Hirata Kazaki.

Her father had just died not long ago, and Hirata Kazaki's attitude towards her seemed to be showing signs of neglect.
  "Hmph, it's really cool to leave the place behind!" Black Rock Lingzi muttered dissatisfiedly.
