Conan's other self

After briefly explaining the situation, Takagi ran out of Shiratori's sight and called Sato again.

Behind him, Shiratiao's face looked a little gloomy.

He had already guessed the truth from Takagi's unusual actions, but Takagi suddenly became smart and threw the prisoner to him 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 thought he was playing a prank before.

"S-Sato." After some mental preparation for himself, Takagi called and shouted.

"Are you okay, Takagi?"

The urgent voice on the phone made Takagi calm down a little.

"No, it's okay."

"Really, you hung up the phone in such a hurry," Officer Sato breathed a sigh of relief. "If I didn't know you better, I would have thought you were playing a prank. So, what exactly happened?"

Sato, she understands me...

Takagi smirked and then explained, telling his reasoning and what happened.

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

"that…"

"What's wrong?"

"It's just what you said about your wishes before..."

"Oh...you said that, and of course you did the counting! How about it, Takagi, have you thought about it? You can ask for anything."

"...Can I ask for anything?"

"You can ask for anything." Sato repeated, "After all, I have already promised."

Takagi took a long breath and calmed down, but felt that his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

It was as if he could hear his violent heartbeat on the other side of the phone. The brief silence suddenly made the atmosphere tense, and Sato on the other side couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

Could this guy Takagi say that he wanted to...

"S-Sato!" Takagi shouted into the phone, "Let's go to the amusement park together this weekend!"

"..."

The result was a little beyond Sato's expectations, making her feel that Takagi was a little childish, but...

It's quite cute.

Sato agreed, and since both parties still had urgent matters, the call ended.

The things that had been weighing on his heart for eighteen years finally came to an end. Sato felt both relieved and a little lost.

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

"Unfortunately, this case expired three years ago..."

Conan doesn't think so.

Now is not the time to give up.

"Not necessarily!" Conan said to Officer Sato, "You should know, right? Officer Sato? The period when the suspect is abroad is not included in the calculation of the statute of limitations. If you go and investigate, maybe there will be any surprises?"

Shuji Kano runs an Italian restaurant, and it is very likely that he has had experience abroad.

Officer Sato felt that what Conan said made sense, so he quickly called the Metropolitan Police Department and asked the Megure Police Department to help investigate.

Luck is on their side.

In the past eighteen years, Luye Shuji has been abroad for exactly three years. What's more coincidental is that his flight back to Japan was delayed due to a typhoon, and he arrived in Japan just a few minutes after early morning.

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

The plan went smoothly.

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

After learning that Takagi was just asking Sato to go to the amusement park for a day, Shiratori breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up again.

Maplehara felt that although Takagi might just be unable to speak out and didn't think too much... he was quite clever.

In addition, Shiratori also found jars containing lamp oil and matches from the person who attacked Takagi. This was certainly not enough to convict him, but the charge of assaulting a police officer was enough for the police to conduct further searches on him.

In this way, two intertwined cases were successfully solved.

On the weekend, Takagi invited the young detective team to Dorobiga Paradise for a day as promised, while exploring the way for a date with Sato the next day.

Next, Fengyuan also had a rare few days of peace and quiet.

But life obviously cannot continue to be peaceful like this.

This day, Dr. Ali’s house.

"gaming room?"

"Yes." Conan replied from across the sofa, "Yuanzi heard from Xiaolan that your game level is the same as mine... uh... relatively average, so I have to ask you to come with me tomorrow."

"..."

"I feel like that guy has bad intentions," Conan continued, "How about it, do you want to go?"

"...I can't refuse anyway."

Conan is just a vanguard. If he refuses now, Yuanzi will probably drag Xiaolan over to call him tomorrow. Besides, this is considered a good intention after all.

Thinking that he had nothing to do recently, Fengyuan agreed. Before time travel, he still liked playing games, although his gaming level was not much higher than Conan's.

However, Haihara Ai is not interested in this. It is rare that she does not have to go camping. She plans to continue her research at home. Recently, she has also been trying to adjust her unhealthy routine - it's just not that easy to change.

So early the next morning, Maplehara went to the Mori Detective Agency alone to meet Xiaolan and others, and then went to the game arcade that Sonoko mentioned.

The arcade is naturally a place to play games.

After a while.

"Ah ha ha ha! It feels so good!"

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 previous match, Maplehara was defeated with almost no chance of fighting back.

"Yuanzi, please pay attention to your image."

"I'm so happy, Xiaolan," Yuanzi stood up and said. Fengyuan, who was used to losing in games, didn't change his expression, "It feels like I beat your husband!"

"What are you talking about!" Xiaolan blushed.

"This bastard." Conan whispered to the side. Apart from Conan himself, only Maplehara could hear it, and Maplehara nodded in deep agreement.

After getting over the addiction of "torturing Shinichi", Yuanzi then took everyone to take pictures of photo albums. Xiaolan was very interested in this, and they quickly took a series of photos.

"As expected of the place that Sonoko introduced!"

"That's right! This place is far away from the school. Only an experienced person would know it!"

Conan snorted unhappily.

Feng Yuan didn't express much, and Sonoko quickly lost the fun of tossing him, so Conan, who had a more obvious reaction, became Sonoko's main target.

At this time, Xiaolan noticed another machine, which was also used to take photos of people wearing wedding dresses.

"Ah... look, there's even a wedding dress version!"

"Liar," Yuanzi looked a little surprised, "Why didn't I see it yesterday..."

"It's so cute! Let's take a picture of this next, right?"

"Wait, wait." Yuanzi waved her hand and refused, "Sometimes it's good for everyone to take photos separately... You can change different moods..."

"Sonoko..." 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 photo on the letter to Kyogoku?"

"ah?"

"Last time, when Mr. Shinde saw the letter written to him by a female student, he asked if it was very popular to put photo stickers on letters!"

"Yeah! I don't think you are the only one who hasn't done this, Xiaolan! But it's really hard for a new teacher. He just stepped down as the coach of the basketball club and immediately joined the drama club. That cool Shinichi No wonder all the popularity is focused on him..."

"No! Isn't the new English teacher Judy who came recently also very well received?"

"Only boys like it! Wearing bold and revealing clothes, and exuding a full sense of femininity... That foreigner is simply fooling us Japanese!"

Hearing two familiar names at once, Fengyuan listened to their conversation a little more carefully. But Xiaolan and Yuanzi soon started discussing Judy's appearance and dress...

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

Apparently referring to Judy.

"No." Conan replied casually, then he thought of something and smiled evilly, "I said, you must have thoughts about her, right? Do you like foreigners? Speaking of Haiyuan, she seems to be of mixed race-"

"I mean," Fengyuan interrupted Conan's gossip time angrily and gestured not far away, "Is it the one over there?"

Conan stopped talking and looked over.

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