After being knocked down by Gao Muming, a group of police officers rushed forward and pinned Tenyama Jusan to the ground.

Inspector Megure thanked Takagi Akira repeatedly.

"Thanks to you, President Takagi. If it weren't for you, the criminal might have gotten away with it."

In response to Inspector Megure's compliment, Takagi Akira simply waved his hand.

"It's all thanks to the police that we caught the criminal. Even if I didn't say anything, you would have found the clues and brought the criminal to justice."

As he spoke, Takagi Akira approached Officer Megure and whispered softly in his ear.

"Officer Megure, please help me take the statement right here in the coffee shop. I'm worried that if I go to your police station again, there will be some explosive news on the Internet."

Upon hearing Takagi Akira's request, Inspector Megure, who had been a little nervous at first and worried that it was too much, instantly relaxed and patted his chest to agree to Takagi Akira.

"No problem. I'll have someone take your statement in the coffee shop."

Watching Inspector Megure walking out with the criminal, Takagi Akira nodded to Kisaki Eri who was standing with her hands by her side.

"Hello, Attorney Eri Kisaki, nice to see you again."

As he spoke, Takagi Akira extended his right hand towards Kisaki Eri. Kisaki Eri shook hands with Takagi Akira skillfully and greeted him politely.

"Indeed, it has been a while since we last met. This is the first time we have met since President Takagi entrusted our law firm to serve as your company's legal counsel. Thank you very much for your trust in our law firm."

Ever since Akira Takagi failed in his last attempt to invest in the Mori Detective Agency, in order to make Conan's Death Halo think of him as one of their own and get some buffs to save his life, Akira Takagi chose a roundabout way to save the country.

Since there was no way to get in touch with Conan directly, he decided to act roundabout. Takagi Akira immediately set his sights on Conan's mother-in-law, Eri Kisaki. So when the company was looking for a law firm to represent him, Takagi Akira decided to change the law firm to Eri Kisaki's law firm.

In response to Kisaki Eri's humble words, Takagi Akira complimented her.

"How could I not trust you, the famous lawyer, Eri Kisaki? I've also heard of your title of 'the undefeated queen of the legal world'."

After the compliments, Takagi Akira took the opportunity to invite Kisaki Eri to sit in the cafe for a while.

"That's great, Attorney Hibiki Eri, why don't you join me in taking the statement? This will save me from having to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. When we're done, I'll invite you to go somewhere else for a cup of coffee."

Walking out of the bathroom and looking at the still somewhat chaotic scene, Fei Yingli thought about it and shook her head.

"My daughter will be here soon, so I'd better not disturb her."

"That's nothing. When your daughter comes, it's just a matter of adding some snacks and drinks."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command."

At this time, Conan followed Prince Wakashiro with a look of disgust, believing that Prince Wakashiro was the playboy who was deceiving Xiaolan's feelings and wanted to find an opportunity to ruin Xiaolan's date with him.

When Xiaolan, who was blocked outside the coffee shop by the police cordon, saw Conan, she hurried towards him with a worried tone in her voice.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Were you scared just now?"

In response to Xiaolan's concerned words, Conan subconsciously thought that she was talking to Prince Waka Shirou beside him. A cunning expression appeared on his face, and then he yelled at Prince Waka in a childish voice pretending to be innocent.

"Brother, there are so few innocent women like that. You can easily win them over with just a few sweet words. What does that mean? And why don't you tell other women?"

Hearing Conan's words, Prince Ruo became completely flustered and quickly bent down to try to shut Conan up.

"Boy, don't mess around..."

Before Prince Ruo could finish his words, Xiaolan held Conan's head and made Conan bow to Prince Ruo while she also bent down to apologize.

"This gentleman is really sorry, he is just a child and he didn't mean it. Please forgive him."

As a result, an angry female voice was heard from the side.

"Are you telling the truth, Conan?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaolan and Conan turned around and found that Sonoko, who was dressed up carefully, was standing there. Her exquisite makeup could not hide the anger in her eyes.

"Is that true?"

Feeling the momentum from Yuanzi, Prince Ruo took a step back.

"There is a misunderstanding here. Please listen to the explanation, Yuanzi."

As a result, as soon as Prince Ruo finished speaking, Yuanzi slapped Prince Ruo in the face.

"We're fucked."

After knowing that the person Prince Ruo was deceiving was not Xiaolan, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and then reacted.

"If it's not him, then who is Xiaolan going to date? Is it really that guy Takagi Akira?"

Xiaolan, on the other hand, had an anxious look on her face as she looked around the crowd.

"Strange, why don't I see her? She's never late."

When Xiaolan's eyes swept over Takagi Akira and Kisaki Eri who were taking statements in the coffee shop, a happy smile appeared on Xiaolan's face. She took Conan's hand and walked into the coffee shop.

Seeing the smile on Xiaolan's face, and then looking at Takagi Akira who was in Xiaolan's sight, Conan was so angry and anxious that he almost bit his back teeth off.

"It's actually this guy. He even lied to me just now. I'll expose you."

Just as Conan was thinking maliciously, Takagi Akira, who was taking notes, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Am I being remembered again?"

"mom……"

"Didn't I tell you not to wear such a short skirt? You'll catch a cold easily. Why didn't you listen?"

Before Xiaolan could finish her words, she was scolded by Kisaki Eri. Xiaolan responded to Kisaki Eri's words with a blushing face and some shyness.

"Don't always treat me like a child, Mom."

Then Xiaolan looked at Takagi Akira who was sitting opposite Kisaki Eri.

"Hello, President Takagi. By the way, where are you guys?"

Takagi Akira greeted Xiaolan and Conan very politely.

"Hello, Xiaolan and Conan. We just finished taking notes about this incident. Because my company has some business dealings with your mother's law firm, and we happened to meet here, I thought I would host a meeting to enhance communication, and you guys can come along."

Conan, who was beside Xiaolan, was shocked that the lawyer he had suspected turned out to be Xiaolan's mother. On the other hand, he kept criticizing Takagi Akira in his heart. He was not giving up and was even trying to conquer his mother-in-law first in order to pursue Xiaolan.

When Xiaolan heard what Gao Muming said, a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and then she refused.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I'm sorry, I have something private to discuss with my mother today."
