Chapter 548

Officer Shiratori looked at Akaso Kaze's expression and asked: "Lord Akaso, do you mean that none of the current three suspects are the killers?"

"Hmm." Akaso Kaze nodded.

"Then that's troublesome." Shiratori Ninzaburo was also at a loss.

Without suspects, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Akaso Kaze recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered something.

"From what you've said, it's very likely that the killer is someone related to the police force."

"Officer Shiba's body was holding his own police notebook in his hand. Before Officer Narisawa died, his hand was also covering the police notebook in his chest pocket."

"If these are death messages left by the two of them, then the possibility that the killer is someone related to the police force is very high."

"By the way, does your sister, Shiratori Sara, have an engagement ceremony in the next two days?"

Akaso Kaze seemed to have heard someone mention it.

Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately became vigilant.

"Lord Akaso, my sister is about to get engaged. Although she admires you in private, she already has a fiancé after all..."

Huh?

Akaso Kaze glanced at him.

What do you mean by that?

It sounds like I'm eyeing your sister.

He said helplessly: "I mean, your sister's engagement party will definitely invite many police officers, and many of them will be carrying guns. The criminal might take this opportunity to act."

"When the time comes, I will stay by Officer Sato's side, not only to help her turn danger into safety but also to help you catch the killer."

Shiratori Ninzaburo was overjoyed to hear this. "That would be great. If that's the case, it's killing two birds with one stone. I'll leave this matter to you, Lord Onmyoji. I'll send my butler to deliver the invitation immediately."

He was about to say goodbye when he hesitated and turned back.

"Lord Akaso, you really won't have any designs on my sister, will you?"

Akaso Kaze had a face full of black lines.

With what you're saying, am I lacking women?

Shiratori Ninzaburo walked out the door, his brows tightly locked.

He wasn't worried about the case; with Akaso Kaze's help, this case would definitely be fine, and Officer Sato's safety would naturally be guaranteed.

He was worried about his sister.

It's not Shiratori Ninzaburo's fault for overthinking; it's just that his family had once thought about letting his sister approach Akaso Kaze, and Shiratori Sara was also very interested in this Onmyoji.

It was all thanks to Shiratori Ninzaburo's persuasion, saying that Akaso Kaze had extremely high standards, that his parents and sister finally gave up the idea.

If Akaso Kaze really had any ideas...

Shiratori Ninzaburo quickly shook his head.

The moment he thought of Akaso Kaze becoming his brother-in-law, he felt very uncomfortable.

Anyway, Lord Onmyoji said he wasn't interested in Shiratori Sara...

Huh?

Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly froze.

That's not right, how does Lord Akaso know my sister's name?

Is this not being interested?

Shiratori Ninzaburo touched his chest, feeling as if he were about to lose something.

One day later, it was Shiratori Sara's engagement party.

Beika Sun Plaza Hotel.

Shiratori Sara's engagement party was set to start at seven o'clock. At this moment, many guests had already arrived early, and the Shiratori family members were busy entertaining guests in the lobby or the engagement party venue.

In the rest area of the hotel's first-floor lobby, Uncle Mouri was talking to acquaintances, while Conan was looking around with his detective eyes.

It really is worthy of being Officer Shiratori's sister's engagement party; looking at the people around, there seem to be quite a few police officers, right?

The people talking to Detective Mouri over there are Mr. Kato and Ms. Iijima, subordinates he had led before.

And over there are Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba.

Hmm, and Officer Yumi from the Traffic Division is here too.

However, if they were just here to attend an engagement party, even if they were police officers, their expressions and movements should be much more relaxed.

But look around, many police officers seem to be chatting, but they are actually keeping an eye on their surroundings, and some are communicating with walkie-talkies.

It's probably because of the case where two police officers were killed one after another the day before yesterday.

Conan had naturally heard about this case.

Now that two police officers have been killed in succession, and today is the engagement party of someone related to the police force.
