Shiro heard those two words, spoken in the gentle voice of a girl, then turned his head and, as he expected, saw the unicorn from his memory. He really wanted to ask her how she even arranged her hair. In anime it is one thing, but how can such a unicorn-shaped hairstyle exist in reality?
And at this moment, there was also a guy who looked like he was asking for a beating.
Shiro moved slightly, then did not say anything more, just waited to watch the show.
While Kirishima Shoko and Shiro were waiting at the side, she suddenly spoke.
"If I'm not mistaken, that guy, Kudo Shinichi, is a fanatic for detective cases, right?"
"He helped the police solve many cases."
Shiro was stunned for a moment when he heard that, feeling slight surprise. How did she know that Kudo Shinichi was so famous?
Shiro looked at her with a confused expression at that moment.
"I have connections with Suzuki Sonoko."
"So I happened to know about him as well."
Shiro immediately understood. They were all from higher circles, and their ages were similar, so it was normal that they had some connections.
"Although your look was normal when you were looking at him earlier, there was a brief flash of emotion. He is your target, or more precisely, the person you want to see suffer, right?"
Shiro was stunned for a moment when he heard that and could not help but raise his thumb. After all, her observation was truly precise, or rather, she had really been watching him carefully.
"Well done, girl. I praise your power of observation."
"Indeed, a lot of bad luck awaits this guy. Of course, that is mostly because people like him love to seek trouble too much, running everywhere where something seems suspicious."
"Do you think someone who always chooses to solve cases without asking for a reward is a saint or has hidden motives?"
Shiro looked at the young lady and with a smile started a small game with her.
Kirishima Shoko immediately shook her head.
"I don't know whether he is a saint, but one thing is completely clear to me. He is definitely not someone who does not seek a reward."
"After all, if he truly did not seek a reward, he could be low-key, but the impression he leaves on me is that he likes to show off."
"Because I heard some things about him, and what I heard gives the impression that although he does not seek profit, he seeks fame, or rather, he likes to stand out."
"He enjoys the honor and praise he receives when he solves cases that the police cannot."
Shiro could not help but praise her when he heard that. Such thoughts and such insight are what a normal young lady should have.
"I have to say, you are really good at judging people. This guy is not someone who does not seek a reward; he just wants to solve more cases, show himself, and enjoy other people's admiration."
"But relatively speaking, this guy is legally illiterate, which is quite interesting. He constantly says that he is a detective and that he wants to represent the law, but he often commits illegal actions, such as destroying crime scenes."
"Even if the other side has suffered a great injustice, he believes that person must accept legal punishment. However, considering the things he does, I have the feeling that he is exactly the one who should not be free, because he often walks on a thin line and even crosses it regularly."
"That is why I really don't like people like him, but since he hasn't provoked me, I don't deal with him. Still, today he will have bad luck, and it will be interesting for me to watch."
Kirishima Shoko nodded when she heard that.
"By the way, one warning: stay away from that guy. He is surrounded by a sinister aura."
"At all banquets or gatherings, for the safety of the people around you, and for the safety of your parents, don't allow him to get close to you."
Kirishima Shoko showed confusion when she heard that. She really did not understand what he meant.
Shiro looked at her confused expression and explained.
"You can understand it like this: this guy has the aura of the Grim Reaper. Wherever he goes, death follows him, especially in environments like banquets where someone will certainly die."
"And wherever this guy appears, various murder cases will happen, and the highest death rate is among bosses."
"If you don't want the people around you to be affected by him, I suggest, or rather, tell your parents and the people around you to stay away from this scourge."
"You should know that I wouldn't lie about this."
Kirishima Shoko nodded firmly.
"I will definitely believe what you say, but the problem is, how can such a person exist in this world?"
"Like a Grim Reaper walking among humans."
Shiro's inner thought at that was: do you think the nickname 'Grim Reaper of the elementary school' was given for no reason? He is the real thing, okay? There is no exaggeration in that.
"The problem is that such people really do exist, so tell your family to stay away from him, as if he were on a permanent blacklist."
Shiro remembered that and realized he had to remind the people around him, especially after he shrinks, because that aura will probably become even stronger, as if seeing that thing undergo a qualitative change. Of course, he could remove it, but there was no need.
Shiro wanted to conduct an experiment and see.
As time passed, when the fountain began to spray water, it really was quite beautiful.
"It can be seen that it was carefully designed."
Shiro sighed at that moment, saying that it was truly done with a lot of care.
"After all, it is one of the main attractions."
Then the two of them continued to have fun. As time passed, they heard that a murder had occurred. Shiro said that the first murder case from the plot had begun.
Kirishima Shoko tilted her head and looked at Shiro, as if asking: "Is that what you wanted me to see?"
"No."
"Not this. It's just a murder case, right?"
"There is something even more incredible coming…"
"If you want, I can take you to look up close. If not, forget it."
Kirishima Shoko indicated that she left everything to Shiro. Although she said nothing, her gaze clearly showed what she thought.
"Let's go take a look. I'm really curious whether those policemen are really that useless?"
Shiro pulled her and pushed through the crowd. Although he said they were pushing through, when Shiro passed, those people instinctively made way, allowing them to pass without obstacles.
Kirishima Shoko was used to such situations.
When they found a suitable place, they watched Conan confidently present his conclusions.
Shiro looked at Megure Juzo, who seemed as if he had turned into an NPC, and really wanted to ask: "Are you really that incompetent? How did you even reach that position?"
"I have one question that I really want to ask: are these policemen really that bad?"
Shiro's eyes at that moment were full of confusion.
Kirishima Shoko looked at the policemen, who seemed like tools or NPCs, shook her head and explained to Shiro.
"It's not exactly like that."
"The fact that he reached that position proves that he has abilities, but in our country, to advance further, you must have backing; otherwise you will remain in that position your whole life."
After Kirishima Shoko said that, Shiro immediately understood.
"So it's not that he's incompetent, he's just doing the job without effort, right?"
"Mm."
Kirishima Shoko knew those unwritten rules well, so she understood his situation. If he were truly incompetent, he would not have reached this point. Clearly he was someone without backing, who had decided to work until retirement.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I must say, capital is everything here. By the way, I'm bored and have nothing to do, and it seems I have become a big capitalist here."
Shiro rubbed his chin and said in a thoughtful tone.
Kirishima Shoko tilted her head when she heard that, responding to that rather unusual question in a teasing tone.
Considering Shiro's situation, such a statement was indeed a bit unusual.
"If you wanted, you could have directly become the ruler here; you simply don't want that."
"It's boring. If it were like that, life would truly be meaningless. Watching everyone flatter me and desperately try to please me — I actually don't like such things."
