After briefly talking about the situation, Takagi ran out of Shiratori's field of vision and called Sato again.

Behind him, Shiratori's face was a little gloomy.

He had already guessed the truth from Takagi's abnormal behavior, but Takagi suddenly became witty and threw the prisoner to himself without saying a word, so that he could not harass him...

Shiratori sighed.

Takagi on the other side also sighed. He was a little worried that Sato felt that he was playing a prank before.

"Sato, Sato." After doing some psychological construction for himself, Takagi called the phone and shouted.

"Are you alright, Takagi?"

There was a rush on the other side of the phone, which calmed Takagi a little.

"No, it's fine."

"Really, hanging up the phone in such a hurry," Officer Sato breathed a sigh of relief, "If I hadn't known you, I would have thought you were playing a prank." So, what's going on? ”

Sato, she understands me...

Takagi smirked and explained, recounting his reasoning and what had happened.

Sato on the other side of the phone learned the truth, was silent for a while, and then said, "Thanks, Takagi! I'll remember it well. ”

"That..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's what you said you wanted before..."

"Oh... You said that, of course you counted! How's it going, Takagi, already thinking about it? Any request is fine. ”

“… Is it okay to ask for anything? ”

"Anything you ask." Sato repeated, "After all, it's already promised." ”

Takagi let out a long exhale, calming down, but felt his heart begin to beat uncontrollably.

On the other side of the phone, it was as if his heartbeat could be heard. The short silence made the atmosphere suddenly tense, and Sato on the other side couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat.

Takagi, this guy, should I say that I want to...

"Sato, Sato!" Takagi shouted into the phone, "This weekend, let's go to the amusement park together!" ”

“……”

The result was a little unexpected for Sato, making her feel that Takagi was a little childish, but...

It's pretty cute.

Sato agreed, and the call ended as both sides had important matters to do.

The things that had been pressed on his heart for eighteen years finally had a result that could not be regarded as a result, and Sato felt both relaxed and a little lost.

Just as Conan curiously asked about what Takagi said, Sato, who was looking for someone to talk to, told the children about it, and then showed a regretful expression:

"It's a pity that this case has already passed the prosecution period three years ago..."

Conan didn't think so.

Now is not the time to give up.

"Not necessarily!" Conan said to Officer Sato, "You should know, Officer Sato?" The period during which the suspect was abroad did not count towards the statute of limitations. If you look into it, maybe there will be some surprises? ”

Shuji Shikano runs an Italian restaurant and has a good chance of having traveled abroad.

Officer Sato felt that Conan's words made sense, so he quickly called back to the Metropolitan Police Department and asked the Twilight Police Department to help investigate.

Luck is on their side.

In the past 18 years, Shuji Shikano has just been abroad for three years. What's more coincidental is that his flight back to Yuben was delayed due to the typhoon, and it was just a few minutes after the morning when he arrived in Yuben.

After careful testing, Conan realized from Shuji Shikano's arrangement today that he might think that today was the last day of the statute of limitations, so he made a plan with Officer Sato, intending to trick him into telling the truth.

The plan went well.

On the other side, after Takagi returned, the unwilling Officer Shiratori questioned Takagi.

After learning that Takagi was just about Sato to go to the amusement park for a day, Shiratori breathed a sigh of relief and regained his strength.

Kaedehara felt that although Takagi might just not be able to speak, he didn't think too much... But it's pretty smart.

In addition, Shiratori also found canisters and matches containing lamp oil from the attackers of Takagi. This was certainly not enough to convict him, but the charge of assaulting the police was enough for the police to conduct a further search of him.

In this way, the two intertwined cases were successfully resolved.

On the weekend, Takagi invited the Junior Detective Group to Dorobika Paradise for a day, and by the way, he explored the way for the next day's date with Sato.

Next, Kaedehara also had a rare few days of peace.

But life obviously can't be so peaceful.

On this day, Dr. Asasa's house.

"Arcade?"

"Hmm." Conan, who was on the other side of the sofa, replied, "Yuanzi heard Xiaolan say that your game level is the same as mine... Belch... It's more ordinary, so I have to call you over tomorrow. ”

“……”

"I feel like that guy has bad intentions," Conan continued, "How's that, go?" ”

“… I can't refuse anyway. ”

Conan is just a pacesetter, if he refuses now, tomorrow the garden is expected to directly pull Xiaolan over to call him. What's more, this is a good intention after all.

Thinking that there was nothing to do lately, Kaede Yuan agreed. Before the time-travel, he still liked to play games, even though his game level was not much higher than Conan's.

However, Gray Yuan Ai is not interested in this, and it is rare that she does not have to go out camping, and she plans to continue her research at home. Lately, she's also trying to adjust her unhealthy routine — just not so easily.

So early the next morning, Kaedehara went to the Maori Detective Office alone to meet Xiaolan and others, and then came to the game hall that the garden said.

The arcade is naturally a place to play games.

A moment later.

"Ahhh It's so cool! ”

Miss Suzuki stuck out her tongue and laughed wildly, attracting the attention of many people.

The word "win" flashed on the screen in front of her. In the game just now, Kaedehara was defeated almost without fighting back.

"Garden, pay attention to the image."

"I'm so happy, Xiaolan," Yuan Zi stood up and said, Kaede Yuan, who was used to losing games, didn't change his face, "It feels like winning your husband!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Xiaolan blushed.

"This eighth woman." Conan whispered to the side. Except for Conan himself, Kaedehara was the only one who could hear it, and Kaedehara nodded in agreement.

After a "abuse of the new one" addiction, the garden then took everyone to take a big head sticker, Xiaolan was very interested in this, and several people quickly took a series of photos.

"It's a place introduced by the garden!"

"That's right! It's so far away from the school that only the old man knows about it! ”

Conan snorted unhappily.

Kaedehara didn't have many expressions, and the garden soon lost the fun of tossing him, so Conan, who reacted more obviously, became the main tossing object of the garden.

At this time, Xiaolan noticed another machine, which was also shooting a big head sticker, with a pattern of wearing a wedding photo.

"Ahh You see, even the wedding dress version has yes! ”

"Liar," the garden looked a little surprised, "why didn't you see it yesterday..."

"It's so cute! Let's shoot this, shall we? ”

"Wait, wait." Yuan Zi waved his hand and refused, "Sometimes it's not bad for everyone to shoot separately... You can change your mood differently..."

"Garden..."Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and showed a gossipy expression, "I know!" Could it be that you want to put this sticker on the letter to Kyogoku? ”

"Huh?"

"Last time, when the new teacher saw the letter from a female student, he also asked if it was very popular to put a big head sticker on the letter recently!"

"Yes! I don't think you're the only one who did this, Xiaolan! However, the new teacher is really hard, and he has just stepped down as the coach of the basketball club and immediately came to the drama club again. That cool Shinichi is here, no wonder all the popularity is focused on him..."

"No! Isn't the new English teacher Judy also very popular? ”

"Only boys like it! Wearing bold and revealing clothes that exude a full femininity... That foreigner is fooling us! ”

Hearing two familiar names at once, Kaedehara listened to the conversation between the two a little carefully. However, Xiaolan and Yuanzi soon discuss Judy's appearance and dress...

"Have you seen her?" Kaedehara asked in a low voice to Conan.

Apparently referring to Judy.

"Nope." Conan replied casually, then thought of something and smiled evilly, "I said, you don't think you have thoughts about her, do you?" Do you like foreigners? Speaking of which, she seems to be half-blood, too—"

"I mean," Kaedehara angrily interrupted Conan's gossip and gestured not far away, "Isn't that the one over there?" ”

Conan stopped and looked that way.

A tall and beautiful foreign woman is playing a shooting game in front of a game console, and from time to time she makes a "Come on" sound from her mouth. Her dress and appearance characteristics are almost exactly the same as what Xiaolan Yuanzi is discussing.
