In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 371

"Then how did you know what I wanted to do?" Masuo Keizo recalled the scene when Officer Natsuba decisively instructed his wife not to move, as if she could see what was about to happen!

The fishing line attached to the exercise bike was probably enough to pull down the large bookcase after just two more pedal rotations, but he stopped it in time.

Is this fate?

Of course, it's from comics I've read.

Xia Ye smiled and shook her head: "I'll tell you after you confess everything. Also, even if you successfully kill the madam today, you won't be able to clear your name. That brat has been holding that photo album for a long time. Why don't you take a look?"

"This is!?"

Keizo Masuo finally couldn't hold back anymore!

"That's you and your friends—" Mrs. Masuo said with a sneer, "I've circled all the people who robbed the bank with you. You haven't looked at this photo album in a long time, so of course you didn't notice it. Luckily, this little kid has sharp eyes and was able to find it~"

"Haha~"

Conan held the photo album, which was half his size, but he wasn't particularly proud of it.

After all, the case was too simple; it was the kind of case that could be solved with just a glance after entering the room, and there was no sense of accomplishment after solving it.

“So that’s why—” Masuo Keizo murmured in disappointment:

"Turns out even a child could see through my scheme. I thought it was foolproof!"

"The people of Beika Town are always thinking about committing crimes that require some skill—" Natsume said disdainfully.

"Sometimes, simple and violent methods are the right solution, just like this time. You clearly had accomplices, so why not just have them break in and kill you last night? That would be cleaner, and you could just say there wasn't enough time to stop them. It's much better than your gamble."

"Xia Ye!"

Sato Miwako's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

You, a dignified police officer, are teaching a criminal how to commit a crime—isn't that going too far?

Okay, okay, enough joking around~

Xia Ye waved her hand and looked at Sato Miwako, saying, "Now that we know about those two accomplices, let's go straight to their place and arrest them. Aren't you investigating this 200 million yen robbery? This is a good opportunity to make a big contribution!"

"Okay, let's take Mr. Masuo back to the Metropolitan Police Department first!"

Sato Miwako's eyes crinkled with a smile. Calling Natsume over today was definitely the right decision. Not only had he solved the bank robbery case that had been troubling her, but he'd also conveniently stumbled upon a premeditated murder case. The bonus would be substantial, and her chances of promotion to inspector were much better!

Speaking of which.

When I had the "Insightful Observation" buff, I also had periods of clear thinking and brilliant case-solving. However, after the buff disappeared, I reverted to my original state. It seems that even my abilities have limitations.

correct!

The blog was recently redesigned, wasn't it?

Now you can make any wish you want.

So—Sato Miwako pulled out her diary and wrote: "[I hope to improve my case-solving skills!]"

[Wish granted! Wish task: Drink with the log's owner~]

Upon seeing this task, Sato Miwako blushed. She had long known that this logbook harbored ill intentions towards its holder, wishing that everyone could become Natsume's life experience. She never expected it to be so blatant now.

When a lone man and woman get together to drink, it's hard to avoid something going wrong. There's a saying—

After drinking, that thing...

This log entry is something I have to write to Xia Ye myself—

"Miwako?"

Seeing that Sato Miwako had suddenly fallen into a daze for some reason, Natsume gently nudged her waist to remind her.

However, it's actually quite adorable that the usually serious, capable, and capable policewoman is suddenly acting so goofy!

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah, it's nothing!" Sato Miwako snapped out of her reverie, feeling a little embarrassed by Natsume's smiling gaze, and quickly changed the subject:

"Let's go. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Masuo, you'll also be coming with us to the Metropolitan Police Department. We need your testimony. Is that alright?"

"Of course~"

Mrs. Masuo now hated her husband to the core and couldn't wait to send him to jail. Robbing a bank and attempted murder would get her at least a decade in prison, so she could take this opportunity to divorce him, get the family property, and find a young man like Officer Natsuba, who would be perfect!

With a hint of covetousness in their hearts.

Mrs. Masuo readily agreed to testify at the Metropolitan Police Department to prove her husband's crimes.

...

Keizo Masuo was very cooperative.

He quickly implicated several of his accomplices.

Of course, considering that he was willing to attack his wife in front of the police and try to kill her to silence her in order to protect his friends, it is understandable that he is now revealing his friends' identities out of desperation. There was no other way; his wife already knew who those friends were, and it was no use for him not to say anything!

This is the case that Miwako Sato is in charge of.

Ultimately, she led the team to make the arrest.

With Xia Ye present, the arrest went very smoothly, and the case of the 200 million yen bank robbery was closed after all the robbers were apprehended.

It was already 6 p.m.

In the corridor outside of class.

Sato Miwa and Ziqiqi Aai hesitated to speak.

Although I'm usually quite easygoing, as a woman, I still find it a little hard to say the words of invitation to a man for late-night drinks.

Fortunately——

Xia Ye seemed to sense her embarrassment and smiled understandingly, saying, "How about it, Miwako, let's go have a meal together?"

"Okay, I—"

Sato Miwako's pretty face lit up with joy. Since Natsume had taken the initiative to suggest having dinner together, she could then casually suggest having some drinks. She might be too shy to directly ask a man to drink at night, but suggesting a little something during dinner was perfectly acceptable; she wasn't that shy!

however--

Just as she was secretly pleased, a familiar, deep voice came from behind her, but now it was particularly annoying: "Sato, Natsume, you two have done a great job today. Let's go have a drink to celebrate solving the case. I've already sent the others to the hotel!"

"What do you think, Miwako?" Xia Ye didn't mind. After all, he had promised to treat his colleagues in the first division to drinks a long time ago, but he hadn't done it yet. This was a good opportunity to make up for it.

"Oh, I have no objection!"

Sato Miwako was both amused and exasperated. If she had known this would happen, why had she hesitated for so long?

"But I need to invite Yumi along, otherwise she'll definitely complain that I didn't take her!"

Go ahead and call out~

Inspector Megure didn't seem to have any objections.

Everyone is familiar with Yumi Miyamoto. As a traffic policewoman, she's always hanging around the First Division. She's sweet-looking and has a lively personality, and all the older bachelors and younger men in the First Division like her. Although she can't compare to Sato, she's still considered a popular policewoman.

Rice Flower Hotel.

Yumi Miyamoto received an unprecedented welcome.

Nothing else——

Several female traffic officers followed her to join in the fun. For those single officers who had given up after seeing Officer Sato and Natsume being intimate, these were all high-quality resources, since these female traffic officers were all very beautiful!

Meanwhile, on Xia Ye's side—

He was being forced to drink by a group of menacing-looking police officers.

"Officer Xia Ye, you've managed to seduce the most beautiful girl in our division. It wouldn't be right not to have a good time drinking with the brothers today, would it?"

"That's right, Officer Xia Ye, look at our Officer Bai Niao, he's drowning his sorrows in alcohol now. Come on, let's have a drink together!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Drink, drink, drink!"

"Okay, I'll drink it~"

Xia Ye accepted everyone's offer of a drink. No matter who it was, if they offered her a drink, she would down it before speaking, without any hesitation or awkwardness. Her hearty manner drew cheers and admiration from the officers, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.

in the corner.

The male police officers who were interested in Sato Miwako all went to get her drunk, while those who had lost interest in her went off to socialize and play games with the female officers from the traffic unit. So Miyamoto Yumi and Sato Miwako were left with some free time, each sipping a drink slowly.

· ····Requesting flowers··· ······

Yumi Miyamoto glanced at the lively scene and asked curiously, "So many people are pouring water on him, aren't you going to try and stop them?"

Sato Miwako, a close friend, raised her glass with a teasing smile on her lips.

"Why, are you feeling distressed?"

"Heh, you think I feel sorry for you?" Miyamoto Yumi pouted.

"Do you think everyone is like you, falling for him so easily? Xia Ye is indeed handsome and capable, and he has those mysterious identities, but you've seen the logs. There are more than a dozen log holders who are close to him. Do you still want to get involved?"

"I can't help it, the diary has had such a huge impact. Now I actually think it's pretty good to hang out with lots of girls~" Sato Miwako said with a helpless expression. "Also, Yukiko and the others get along so well, it makes me think this kind of thing is normal~"

"Why don't I feel anything?"

Yumi Miyamoto frowned, puzzled, and asked:

"I read the diary often, but I don't feel any obligation to be with Xia Ye. Besides, I only have a good impression of him so far, but no special feelings. So does this diary really have the ability to influence people's consciousness?"

"Fine, you can have special treatment now, right?"

Sato Miwako rolled her eyes at him, but she was also a little puzzled.

I discussed this issue with Yukiko and the others.

Based on comparisons with cases like Yukiko, Ran, Ai, Akemi, and Eri, the diary does indeed have some impact on its holder. Even Ai and Akemi, who already had a huge crush on Natsume, were no exception. Otherwise, how could they have so easily accepted being with Elena, their mother?

. .... 0

only--

Yumi really doesn't seem to be affected at all. After all, she only thinks Natsume is handsome, but doesn't have any intention of being with him. It's really strange. Maybe she can ask Yukiko next time... Well, she's unreliable. Maybe she can ask Suzuki Tomoko what's going on?

"Actually, after thinking about it, it's also related to the fact that he's not very interested in me—" Miyamoto Yumi raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"Based on my observation, this log basically represents Xia Ye's will. Whoever he likes more—or rather, whoever he pays more attention to—will be more influenced by the log. As for me, he's barely spoken to me, so naturally I won't be affected much."

“That’s true. You two don’t really talk much, but Xia Ye still has a deep impression of you. When we were chatting, she said she really liked your personality.” Sato Miwako looked her best friend up and down and said with a helpless look in her eyes, “But I’m not trying to be mean, but you do have a very lively and cheerful personality. This is a police gathering, and you’re wearing a tank top, shorts, black stockings, and such high heels. Isn’t that a bit too daring?”

"So what?" Miyamoto Yumi casually shrugged, stretching her long legs, clad in alluring black stockings and high heels, across her body.

“I patrol the streets of Tokyo every day in that police uniform, and I can’t even wear something I like after get off work? Besides, those male officers are always secretly watching me. Miwako, that’s your problem. You have no sense of style. You always wear a business suit, which doesn’t show your charm at all!”

"I'm fine~"

Miwako Sato didn't feel anything.

When Xiaolan and her friends suggested she buy some fashionable and sexy clothes, she felt it wasn't necessary, and that business suits were quite comfortable enough.

"You!"

Miyamoto Yumi sighed in exasperation:

"Although you are beautiful and have the added advantage of being a policewoman, your outstanding outfit is an even bigger plus. You didn't see it just now, did you? Xia Ye actually looked at me several times, especially these black stockings. He definitely likes them!"

"Is that so?"

Miwako Sato fell into deep thought:

"I'll think about it!"

"Hey, wait!"

Sato Miwako then realized that the two of them had been discussing the impact of the diary, but their conversation had somehow drifted to clothing—

"Still want to talk about the log?"

A strange look appeared on Miyamoto Yumi's pretty face.

"actually--"

"I'm struggling with this too!"

"What are you struggling with?" Sato Miwako asked curiously. Could it be—"You've also developed feelings for him recently?"

"No!" Yumi Miyamoto denied decisively, and her expression didn't seem like she was lying, but—"I'm tempted by the reward for wishing in the diary!"
