Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

After being caught by Shiratori Renzaburo just now, in order to avoid being exposed, Shinide Tomoaki simply ordered some desserts and tea to taste.

"By the way, have Yuya-kun and Conan been gone for too long?" Shinide Tomoaki leisurely sipped his tea. How long has it been since he sat so comfortably?

He couldn't help but secretly glance at Mao Lilan, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but raise an imperceptible arc.

"It seems so, I'll go and see." Mao Lilan stood up and said.

But she didn't know where to find these two people, so she could only walk casually.

While she was thinking, a man wearing a knitted hat suddenly walked over from the side.

Mao Lilan subconsciously took a look and felt that this person was a little familiar, and was stunned there for a while.

Knitted hat ignored Mao Lilan, with a cold expression, walked towards the door with his hands in his pockets, and said a few words to the receptionist at the door.

"Ah, did you really recognize the wrong person?" The lady said regretfully.

Knitted hat nodded and walked out with a calm expression.

"Where have I seen that person?" Mao Lilan looked at the back of the man with a puzzled look.

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't remember it, so she had to put it aside for the time being and continued to look for Yuya and Conan.

"Conan, Yuya, where are you?" Mao Lilan looked around but couldn't find anyone, so she could only try to call for help.

"I'm coming." Yuya popped out from the corner, and Conan followed him.

"Really, what have you been doing for so long?" Mao Lilan asked angrily.

"I went to help Officer Takagi solve the case." Yuya raised his mobile phone and put it in his pocket, "Okay, let's go back to the room quickly, Officer Takagi should be here soon."

···

On the other side, Takagi Wataru knew who the criminal was after Yuya reminded him.

Kamie Yasuo, the teacher of the cram school.

In the testimony of the old man, it was mentioned that the criminal was a woman wearing blue clothes. The older generation would call blue, aqua, and blue-green blue. The teacher's sweater should be blue-green, not just green.

"In addition, what the teacher said also gave me a hint that students would not be allowed to check the time during class. So how did he determine the time of get out of class? Naturally, it was through the watch on his hand."

Takagi Shigeru tightly grasped the man's wrist, on which there was a watch with a dial facing his own.

"He turned the dial inwards towards himself, so that no one except himself could see the time."

"Generally speaking, men's watches face outwards, while women's watches face themselves. When the old man saw his watch, he naturally thought he was a woman."

"If you have any doubts about this, we can go and confirm it with the old man."

"Mr. Kamie Yasuo, do you have anything else to say?"

Kamiie Yasuo's face turned pale, and he wanted to quibble, but the testimony of the three witnesses had firmly locked his identity as a criminal, so he could only lower his head in resignation.

Takagi Wataru, who successfully solved the case, anxiously took out his mobile phone and called Sato Miwako.

···

In the room, Shiratori Renzaburo looked at the sky outside and said regretfully: "It seems that Officer Takagi is too late to get here." But he didn't get a response.

He turned his head and found that Sato Miwako was holding the phone tightly, and her knuckles were a little white because of the force.

Shiratori Renzaburo couldn't help but sigh, looked at his watch and said, "At this season, there are only less than 20 minutes before the sun sets."

Sato Miwako didn't react at all, staring at her phone.

Seeing that time was running out, Sato Miwako's veins suddenly popped up, and she squeezed her hands hard, cracking the phone's shell.

Shiratori Renzaburo raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said, "Don't make such a scary expression, I won't force you to marry me right away, I will wait for you until you get your mood in order."

I have been waiting for more than ten years, so I don't care about that little time. Shiratori Renzaburo thought secretly in his heart.

"However, as a relative agreement, it's not too much for me to ask you for a kiss, right?"

Just then, Sato Miwako's phone rang, and their eyes fell on it at the same time.

"Officer Sato!" Takagi Wataru said excitedly from inside, "I have just successfully caught the criminal who robbed the convenience store. The restaurant is quite close to here, and it will only take about 5 minutes to get there."

Sato Miwako breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Why don't you come and pick me up right away! What are you doing? You are so slow!"

Takagi Wataru hesitated, took a deep breath and said: "Well, can I ask a question first?"

Sato Miwako was dissatisfiedSaid: "What's the problem?"

Takagi Shigeru felt his face was very hot: "Well, why did Officer Sato believe that I would go there and make such a big bet with the other party?"

"Huh?" Sato Miwako was stunned.

Turning his back to Shiratori Renzaburo, he tried to maintain his usual tone: "That's because I believe that if it's you, Takagi, you will definitely come to pick me up, right?"

"But, isn't this... that, in other words... could it be that Officer Sato... in other words..." Takagi Shigeru's face turned red, he hesitated, and he couldn't say the words he wanted to ask.

Sato Miwako vaguely guessed what he wanted to ask, and her face turned slightly red.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the phone.

"Oh no, the criminal has escaped!" Chiba Kazunobu's anxious voice came, "Stop, don't run!"

"What are you doing, Officer Takagi, chase him!"

Sato Miwako was stunned, the criminal ran away?

Takagi Shigeru subconsciously chased after him, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized that if he chased the criminal now, he would definitely not be able to reach Shuidu Tower before the sun sets.

In that case, wouldn't Sato Miwako have to marry Inspector Shiratori?

"Takagi, let me ask you..." Sato Miwako's low voice drilled into Takagi Shigeru's ears, "Compared to catching the criminal, which one is more important, me or catching the criminal?"

Takagi Shigeru's face was wrinkled in anxiety.

He wanted to say that Sato, you are more important, but as a policeman, the subconscious thought of chasing the criminal kept surfacing...

"Go and chase! If you let the criminal run away, I will never forgive you!" Sato Miwako gave him the last push.

Takagi Shigeru was startled and replied loudly: "Yes!" He decisively hung up the phone and chased in the direction where the criminal fled.

···

In the room, Sato Miwako sighed and stared at the phone in a daze.

"Is this okay?" Shiratori Renzaburo said slowly, "If he goes after the criminal, he will definitely not be able to get here in time..."

Sato Miwako closed her eyes and said calmly: "If this is fate, then I will accept it."

"A bet is a bet. I, Sato Miwako, am not the kind of person who cheats."

Shiratori Renzaburo looked at Sato Miwako and sighed slightly. Is she so unwilling? He looked at his watch and whispered: "There are still 10 minutes..."

Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment, but still sighed: "It's meaningless, he can't get here..."

Shiratori Renzaburo smiled: "Since you said you won't cheat, then I have to abide by the bet. It's only 10 minutes. I can wait."

Sato Miwako nodded gently and said no more.

10 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Takagi Wataru still did not show up.

Sato Miwako sighed deeply in her heart, stood up and walked to Shiratori, raised her head slightly and said, "It's time."
