Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 141 Sato Miwako's Tempting Conditions (7K Chapter)

In the dim exhibition hall, Sato Miwako's fair little face was so delicate that it was a little dazzling, and her cat ears were like a sharp sword piercing Haruhiko's heart.

"You're really willing to spend a lot of money." Haruhiko sighed.

Miwako Sato placed her "cat's paw" on her fair thigh and said with a smile, "Sometimes it's okay to make sacrifices to solve a case, meow~"

Haruhiko raised his eyebrows when he heard the cute ending tone, wondering how could this cat be so addicted?
"But it seems like you're no longer old enough to act cute," Haruhiko complained.

"What are you talking about? I'm not much older than you, you bastard!" Sato Miwako was dissatisfied with her age being touched upon, but then she suddenly remembered her current role and quickly added, "Meow~"

Haruhiko stared blankly at her making a sour face but speaking with a cute ending tone. This strong contrast seemed to increase her lethality even more.

Is this also part of her plan?

Haruhiko suddenly felt like a little mouse that had walked into a cat's trap.

No matter which way you go, she will eat you up completely.

Because Sato Miwako didn't lower her voice when she meowed just now, some people in the exhibition hall had already noticed the situation here.

Everyone saw the beautiful older sister in a uniform dress, with cat ears on her head to look cute, and while they looked at her with burning passion, they also cast jealous and envious glances at Haruhiko.

The boy who was touching his girlfriend's thigh in front also turned around and looked at the cat ears on Sato Miwako's head with burning eyes.

Then he was dragged back by his girlfriend by the ear.

Sato Miwako also "understood" and deliberately leaned towards Haruhiko, putting on a well-behaved expression to others as if saying "Yes, this is my master."

This is a combination of punches.

Haruhiko felt a little overwhelmed. He sniffed the pleasant fragrance on Miwako's body and said helplessly, "Why are you so sure that I can catch the bombers?"

Miwako looked at him with her big watery eyes: "I have always believed in Haruhiko."

Haruhiko repeatedly warned himself in his heart: These are all tricks, they are all methods used by bad women to capture men, don't really believe them.

Seeing Haruhiko's strange expression, Sato Miwako thought he was about to give in, so she pressed the issue further, "You were looking at that girl's thighs a lot, weren't you? Do you want to touch them?"

She pointed at the couple sitting diagonally in front of her.

The girl has a sweet appearance, with thin and white legs. With the help of the JK uniform, she shows a "lethality" that is several times greater than her appearance.

"No, I didn't see it." Haruhiko denied it flatly.

Miwako Sato turned sideways, and the tip of her shoe accidentally brushed against the edge of Haruhiko's shirt while she crossed her legs. At the same time, she used her slender fingers to draw circles on her fair and soft thighs. "Actually, if you're willing to help, maybe..."

Sato Miwako didn't finish her words, but considering the previous mention of the JK girl's thighs, it is not difficult to guess what she was implying.

Haruhiko couldn't help swallowing, thinking, "Just agreeing to help her find the murderer is enough, right? He doesn't have to find the murderer."

Eh? I seem to have already convinced myself without realizing it. This woman's tactics are really powerful. I'm a little overwhelmed, Haruhiko thought.

Just as he was hesitating about how to answer, a surprised voice came from behind him.

"Officer Sato? That's Officer Sato, right?"

"Officer Sato is here too...eh? Are those cat ears?"

"Officer Sato is so cute, don't you think, Conan?"

The Junior Detective League members showed timely surprise at the appearance of Sato Miwako, and paid more attention to the cat ears on her head.

Sato Miwako was startled and quickly distanced herself from Haruhiko.

Because Conan often leads the Junior Detective League to solve cases, Sato Miwako is quite familiar with these little guys.

However, usually she plays the role of a capable female police officer in front of this group of children.

Now, being suddenly caught with cat ears and acting cute, Sato Miwako felt very embarrassed: "Ah... it's you guys? What a coincidence."

Even in the dim environment, Haruhiko could clearly see that the blush on her face had spread to her snow-white neck, and she reached out to take off the cat ears on her head.

Haruhiko suddenly found Miwako very interesting, and he became playful and secretly pinched her thigh.

Miwako Sato stared at him with wide eyes, as if to say: There is a child here.

Haruhiko used his eyes to stop Sato Miwako from taking off the cat ears.

Sato Miwako's hand stopped in mid-air, and she bit her lips lightly with a look of humiliation on her face, which made Haruhiko's heart beat faster.

Perhaps in order to solve the bomber's case, Sato Miwako finally succumbed to Haruhiko's "tyranny". She took a deep breath and straightened her crooked cat ears.

At this time, the detective team had already walked up the corridor stairs.

Ayumi pointed at the cat ears and asked curiously, "Officer Sato, were these cat ears given to you by Haruhiko?"

"How is that possible?!" Sato Miwako was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "It's a little kid who got lost a while ago. He gave it to me as a thank you gift for helping him find his mother."

Sato Miwako is worthy of being a capable female detective, and she immediately came up with a fairly reasonable explanation.

Haruhiko secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Miwako Sato glared at him with gritted teeth, but because she had furry ears on her head, her fierce expression became even more ferocious.

Ayumi thought thoughtfully: "Is that so, Conan, do you like cat ears?"

"Ah... it's okay." Conan was not interested. He walked to Haruhiko's ear and whispered: "You scumbag, be careful or I'll tell Sonoko."

Haruhiko showed no sign of weakness: "We are just discussing the case. If you say anything wrong, I will tell Xiaolan."

Conan immediately backed off and put on a fake smile: "Well... have fun."

"I told you we're discussing the case. Your mind is too dirty. Let me help you clean it up." Haruhiko flicked Conan's head.

Conan covered his head and ran away with a look of disbelief on his face.

The performance was about to begin, and the Detective Boys ran to the row in front of Haruhiko and sat down. Haruhiko could just see the yellow headband on Ayumi's head from the back of his chair.

Seeing the Junior Detectives shift their attention from the cat ears to the giant glass tank in the center of the stage, Sato Miwako finally breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered in Haruhiko's ear, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're cute like this. If you can keep wearing these ears, maybe I'll agree to your request." Haruhiko also leaned over and whispered, and the pleasant fragrance of Miwako passed by his nose.

Miwako Sato gritted her teeth, and her chest heaved violently. She seemed to be trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

In the end, perhaps her strong desire to solve the case overwhelmed the shame and anger in her heart, and she forced a sweet smile on her face: "Okay, I understand."

Haruhiko shook his head: "No, meow, bad review."

Meiwazi was stunned for a moment, looked down at her slightly red knees, and whispered: "I know, meow~"

Haruhiko nodded in satisfaction.

Then, while no one was paying attention, he gently pinched the soft ear on Sato Miwako's head.

Although they were fake ears, Sato Miwako couldn't help but tremble all over, and her cheeks turned a faint pink.

Because they were worried that their conversation would be overheard by the Junior Detective League, they stayed very close to each other, and the environment was dim and Sato Miwako had cat ears on her head.

It would be easy for outsiders to misunderstand that they are doing something shady.

An old man in a neat suit walked in from the theater entrance. Seeing this scene, he said in dissatisfaction, "Really? Young people nowadays are too indecent. They actually do obscene things in such a place of artistic joy. Don't they have money to go to a hotel?"

The old man's words were sharp, even a little venomous.

Haruhiko was about to speak out in rebuttal, but was pulled back by Sato Miwako, who seemed to not want him to cause trouble.

While the two men were arguing for a while, the old man had already walked to the front row of seats for the Young Detectives and sat down.

At the same time, the lights in the studio went completely dark, and soft music came from the surrounding speakers.

The show is about to begin.

Haruhiko had to suppress the urge to argue with the other party and focus his attention on the glass tank illuminated by the spotlight in the center of the stage.

The originally empty cylindrical glass tank has been filled with water, and fish are swimming around the corals and seaweed, just like the real seabed.

Immediately afterwards——

A large number of bubbles emerged from the white shell placed in the center of the glass tank, and then slowly opened. A young woman in a white dress emerged from it. As soon as she appeared, the fish instantly surrounded her, forming a beautiful pattern.

This brilliant opening caused the audience to exclaim in surprise and applaud.

In the next few minutes, the woman in light clothes danced in the water. The fish formed various beautiful patterns under her leadership, and exclamations from the audience continued one after another.

Yuantai: "I didn't expect that schools of fish could be so beautiful."

Mitsuhiko: "I don't know how she controls those fish. Can she really speak the language of fish?"

Conan: "There's no such thing as fish language. It's the spice bag in her hand."

Ayumi: "Conan is amazing."

The Young Detectives expressed their opinions one after another.

But at this moment, a discordant voice came from the front: "It's too bad, the movements are very stiff, there is no comparison with Miss Ozawa, I really don't know how she can still have the nerve to stay here and perform."

The old man in the well-tailored suit gave a merciless review.

Sato Miwako whispered, "This old man is so strict."

"I think he might be suffering from mania." Haruhiko spread his hands.

Sato Miwako chuckled and quickly covered her mouth. Haruhiko didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like the cat ears on her head moved.

At this time, the music gradually became quieter, and the blonde actress thanked the audience and then crawled into the shell and left the stage.

The host then said that today's finale character was about to appear, and then began to introduce her resume.

Haruhiko thought that it must be the orange-haired woman he saw on the poster before?

For some reason, Haruhiko always felt that the woman was strangely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Just as I was thinking about it, the music suddenly became faster, and the fish in the glass tank swam faster than before under the stimulation of the equipment. It seems that the style of this underwater Venus is somewhat different from that of the actor just now.

A lot of bubbles came out of the white shell and then slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards——

A woman wearing a light yellow dress and orange hair floated out.

After she came out, the audience burst into louder exclamations than before, but this time the exclamations were filled with more fear.

Because the orange-haired woman floated up upside down.

She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, her mouth wide open, and didn't react even when the fish darted in and out of her mouth. She looked like she was dead.

...

When something like this happens, it is naturally impossible for the performance to continue.

The audience didn't expect to see such a thing. Several timid girls were so scared that they kept screaming and holding on to their male companions tightly.

The lights in the exhibition hall came on, and the music that was lingering around suddenly stopped.

Staff members rushed out from backstage, explaining something to the audience, while several went to the operating room to drain the water, hoping to get the body out. More than one person pulled out their cell phones and called the police.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

As a detective, Miwako Sato realized something was wrong the moment she saw the body. She rushed to the stage before the lights came on to prevent the scene from being destroyed.

At this time, Haruhiko finally remembered why he felt familiar with the woman on the poster.

Because this is a case that happened in the Conan world.

He rubbed his temples with a wry smile, thinking that he hadn't remembered it for so long.

But then he thought again that this was normal. When Haruhiko traveled through time, Conan already had more than a thousand episodes, and the time span was more than twenty years.

He just likes to watch, and it is impossible for him to remember every case clearly in his mind.

At most, I will be more impressed by those classic cases, but I won’t have a deep impression of ordinary cases like this one.

However, looking at the familiar scene, Haruhiko's memories buried deep in his brain gradually revived.

Haruhiko remembered that the motive of this case seemed to be revenge. The murderer was a staff member here. Because the deceased had hit and killed his wife and children with a car, he chose to take revenge in this way.

I guess I can only remember the details by considering the actual environment.

Haruhiko glanced around and saw that all the lights in the exhibition hall had been turned on, making the scene as bright as day.

The audience whispered to each other about their opinions on the actress's drowning, and many brave people ran to the front of the stage to see the body.

Needless to say, the Junior Detective Team and Conan arrived at the scene even faster than Sato Miwako.

At this time, Haruhiko also left his seat and walked to the large glass tank on the stage.

The body of the deceased Michiko Osawa had been carried out by the staff and placed on the floor of the stage. Miwako Sato revealed her identity as a detective and was there to maintain order and prevent others from destroying the scene and the body.

Haruhiko also noticed that the sharp-tongued old man was also nearby, looking at Michiko Osawa's body with a sad face.

Although the police were called, it took some time for them to arrive at the scene.

Several staff members surrounded the body with grief-stricken faces.

One of them sighed and said, "I didn't expect this kind of accident to happen. What a pity."

"This wasn't an accident at all!!" Fujido Wakasai shouted angrily, "It's impossible for Miss Ozawa to make such a simple mistake and drown. Someone must have been jealous of her talent and plotted to kill her."

The staff member was startled by the old man's aura and stammered, "But... judging from the situation at the scene, she accidentally drowned and failed to initiate first aid."

"What do you know, kid?!" Fujido Wakao rushed forward and grabbed the other person's collar. The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and his forehead turned red because of the anger.

Sato Miwako walked over and pulled the two apart: "Old man, please calm down. If things are really as you say, we police will investigate everything thoroughly."

Fujita Wakao sneered, "Investigate? How do you investigate? Wearing cat ears and crawling into a man's arms to investigate?"

Only then did Sato Miwako remember that she was still wearing cat ears on her head, but she was in such a hurry that she forgot to take them off.

She quickly took off the cat ears.

Fujido Wakao continued, "It's your work attitude that's why the bomber is nowhere to be found. Instead of investigating the case, you're wearing that kind of stuff and having trysts with men here. I think you'd be better off working as a prostitute in Kabukicho."

Sato Miwako's face turned red after hearing what she said.

But she couldn't refute in front of so many people, because the old man deliberately led the topic to the bomb case. No matter how Sato Miwako refuted, people with ulterior motives would regard it as a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department and use it as news hype.

In fact, since the bombing, local residents have been complaining about the efficiency of the Metropolitan Police Department and have even organized a number of protests.

The officers of the Metropolitan Police Department also responded by bowing, and did not dare to confront the people head-on, let alone the young detective Miwako Sato.

After hearing what the old man said, many people watching the fun looked at Sato Miwako with strange eyes.

Miwako Sato felt like she was stripped naked and tied up in front of everyone for interrogation. The cat ear ornaments in her hand were like hot potatoes. She pinched the hair ornaments in her hand so hard that her nails almost dug into her skin.

At the moment, she was the only detective at the scene, and Sato Miwako had no way to leave. She could only endure the scrutiny of everyone.

Haruhiko couldn't stand it any longer. After all, Miwako wore cat ears for him, so how could he let her be humiliated like this?

"You old man have such a foul mouth. Didn't anyone teach you to be polite when talking to ladies?" Haruhiko walked over and said coldly.

Seeing someone helping Miwako, Fujido Wakao seemed even more excited: "What? Am I wrong? What else can these Metropolitan Police Department losers do besides bowing? I guess this case will be closed by accident again, right?

If you really like bowing so much, you might as well change your career and become a prostitute. At least lying under a customer and bowing to him can make him feel good, and it can be of some use to him. "

The old man's obscene words and his undisguised gaze over Sato Miwako made Haruhiko feel furious.

He really wanted to smash his mouth with his fist.

However, Haruhiko still suppressed his anger and calmed himself down. The old man's frail body might be killed by one punch. Haruhiko didn't care whether he lived or died. The main thing was that beating the old man to death would cause trouble for Sato Miwako.

Besides, beating him to death would be too easy for him. Haruhiko felt that he should at least make the other party feel the same degree of humiliation.

Haruhiko stood in front of Sato Miwako and said to Fujido Wakao, "Do you dare to take a gamble? If she can find the murderer, you will go to the Metropolitan Police Department and apologize in front of the police station dressed like a prostitute from Kabukicho."

Fujido Wakao raised his eyebrows, seemingly not expecting Haruhiko to propose such a condition: "Oh? You want to stand up for her? Such a naive idea."

Haruhiko said expressionlessly, "Are you scared? You're just talking big, right?"

Fujido Wakao glanced at Osawa Michiko's body with a complicated expression, then said to Haruhiko, "Little brat, provocation doesn't work on me, but since you mentioned that you can find Miss Osawa's murderer, I can reluctantly agree to it."

"Is it a deal then?" Haruhiko confirmed. "With so many people watching, it would be embarrassing if I regretted it later."

"Wait a minute." Fujido Wakao raised his hand. "Investigating cases is the police's duty. Isn't this bet unfair to me?

I think it would be more appropriate to limit the time to less than an hour, and the stakes should be raised.

If she fails to find the murderer within an hour, she will have to stand at the entrance of Kabukicho for a whole day wearing the clothes of a prostitute and a police officer's ID.

I won't force her to go in and help serve customers, after all, she still has to continue working as a salary thief at the Metropolitan Police Department, but I will invite many reporters to visit.

Also, don't try to find out and then try to fool me with the excuse of an accident, because that would be her loss.

How about it, do you dare to agree?"

The conditions proposed by Fujido Wakao are a bit harsh. If she really loses, the consequences may not be acceptable to Sato Miwako.

Haruhiko turned to look at Sato Miwako and asked for her opinion.

"Are you sure?" asked Sato Miwako in a low voice.

Haruhiko looked her straight in the eyes: "Do you believe me?"

Miwako Sato took a deep breath and said, "I agree to this bet, but not for myself, but to prove that the Metropolitan Police Department is not just full of useless people who know how to bow."

"Okay." Fujido Wakao glanced at his watch, "Start the timer, there are 59 minutes left.

Also, don't blame me for not reminding you that given the traffic conditions at this time, it would definitely take police investigators more than an hour to get here, which means you have to find the murderer without any technical assistance.

Tsk tsk, just thinking about the difficulty makes me despair."

It turns out that the old man had already calculated various favorable conditions before agreeing to it. He is really a shrewd guy.

However, Haruhiko was not worried because the memories hidden deep in his brain had almost recovered, and he had also figured out the development of the case.

However, in order for Sato Miwako to solve the case, she needs to personally see some of the evidence and clues.

Haruhiko said something to Miwako and ran off to confirm the clues.

A few minutes later.

When he returned to the scene, he saw Sato Miwako and Conan standing in silence in the corridor behind the stage.

Haruhiko walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Miwako Sato said: "I contacted the Metropolitan Police Department, and sure enough, they couldn't come within an hour. This meant we couldn't collect evidence or conduct a detailed examination of the body."

Without technical assistance, solving the case based solely on reasoning would be extremely difficult.

Not to mention that the murderer must be found within an hour. No wonder Sato Miwako looked a little unhappy.

Conan also complained at this time: "Kousaka... Big Brother, you are too impulsive, do you know what consequences will be faced if Officer Sato loses?

In order to save face, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely find a way to fire her. It is impossible for her to continue working in the Metropolitan Police Department with such a stain that will be criticized by others.

In other words, if he loses, Officer Sato's career will be completely ruined."

Haruhiko didn't expect that Miwako was in danger of being fired, but he had no intention of letting Sato Miwako lose.

Just as Haruhiko was about to speak, Sato Miwako interrupted, "Conan, don't say that. I've actually been annoyed with that stinky old man for a long time. Besides, don't we still have an hour to turn the tables?"

Haruhiko felt warm in his heart when he saw Sato Miwako's forced smile.

Sato Miwako had no idea that Haruhiko knew the plot of the case, and she should have known what would happen if she lost.

Even in this situation, Haruhiko's words "Do you believe in me?" made her choose to believe his words without reservation. Haruhiko was deeply moved by the feeling of being believed in without reservation.

Haruhiko made up his mind not to let down Miwako's heavy trust.

At this time, Sato Miwako said: "We don't have much time now, so we can only focus on the key points of investigation. Do you have any ideas?"

Conan struck a Sherlock Holmes pose and mused, "The murderer must be among the people at the scene, possibly an employee or an audience member. Many people visited backstage just now, so there was a chance they could have tampered with the situation."

But this situation is very troublesome to investigate, and there is not enough time to investigate all possible doubts. We can only take a gamble."

Conan noticed that everyone was looking at him, so he quickly pretended to be cute and said, "This is what Shinichi-nii told me. I just called him."

Sato Miwako nodded thoughtfully. Kudo Kazushin's deduction was consistent with her own. Investigating and collecting evidence took time, and with limited manpower and even more limited time, they could only conduct selective investigations.

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako looked at Haruhiko with anticipation: "Haruhiko, what do you think? Should we investigate the body first, or the performance equipment first?"

Haruhiko also adopted a Sherlock Holmes pose and mused, "I think we should catch the murderer first. It would be troublesome if he gets away."
