I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Why is Chapter 788 wrong? That's exactly how it's written in the Gala game!

[Easy-difficulty security mission completed!]

[Your 20 points reward has been credited to your account. Please check!]

[You've been awarded 10 points for helping Sheriff Gordon solve a difficult problem!]

A short time later, the system light screen popped up.

It seems that Takagi Wataru has successfully obtained the trash from the trash can.

Chen En nodded slightly.

Inspector Megure leaned closer to Chen En and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Chen En, you're good at deduction, take a look..."

"Brother Shiratori, is this just pure lust?"

"How come I think he falls in love with every girl he sees?"

Hearing this, Chen En paused for a moment, then answered in a low voice.

"Is it possible that it's pure love?"

Mu Mu Police Department:?
A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes before he answered again.

"Is it pure love where you fall in love with every girl you meet?"

Chen En: ?
He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice.

"Maybe they just realized that meal replacements can't be eaten as a meal."

Mu Mu Police Department:?
What?! He actually used Miwako Sato as a meal replacement?!
Shiratori Ninzaburo, you're finished!

I need to tell the other officers in the Criminal Investigation Department about this!
The members of the Junior Detective Club standing nearby also looked troubled.

Why does it seem like Inspector Shiratori has suddenly taken a liking to Ms. Kobayashi?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Ms. Kobayashi?
Genta and Mitsuhiko huddled together and whispered.

"That's strange, why did Ms. Kobayashi suddenly come looking for me?"

"Yes, yes, how did Ms. Kobayashi know that we had encountered a heinous murder?"

They said this, and then all their eyes fell on Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara adjusted her wristwatch and then answered softly.

"Because I knew that Ms. Kobayashi would most likely come out to watch the fireworks display tonight, and she would definitely be free, I contacted Ms. Kobayashi to pick you up. It seems that I was right after all."

Yuantai:?
Genta shook his head, then said seriously.

"How can we do that? If we call Ms. Kobayashi over, wouldn't that be..."

However, before Genta could finish speaking, Mitsuhiko nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"I think Ai makes a lot of sense."

"This is a good opportunity to let Mr. Kobayashi see our Junior Detective Club's team-building abilities!"

Yuantai:?
Mitsuhiko, you little rascal, you've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty girl?
Yuan Tai's face darkened.

You're so disloyal!

"Excuse me... officer, who are you...?"

Sumiko Kobayashi looked up at Shiratori Ninzaburo in front of her.

Her eyes were full of confusion.

Why do the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers look at her as if they've seen a ghost?
Because she was going to participate in the fireworks display today, she specially changed her clothes. Does she still look like an elementary school homeroom teacher? Does she have a class vibe?
"My name is Shiratori Ninzaburo, an inspector with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Ms. Kobayashi, have we met before?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo, recalling the dating advice that Inspector Chiba had shared with him, immediately spoke frankly.

"Do you remember? It was when we were in elementary school at the bookstore..."

Kobayashi Sumiko:?
Elementary school? That's so long ago, who would remember?

This is just a simple flirting technique, right?

He would randomly throw out a distant date and then claim that he had met her in the past, in an attempt to build a closer relationship.

It feels like an outdated pickup line technique.

Kobayashi Sumiko's eyes became slightly wary.

However, Shiratori Ninzaburo was unaware of this.

He continued, "There were two high school students stealing books in the bookstore at the time."

"The people in the other bookstores saw it but pretended not to see it, only you stood up and stopped them."

"But they weren't going to stop there. They even pushed you to the ground. I stepped in and scared them away. Then, as I was about to leave, you chased after me."

"And I folded a string of paper cherry blossoms out of a straw."

“You told me back then that cherry blossoms are a symbol of courage and represent the flower of justice.”

"I remember it vividly..."

Kobayashi Sumiko:?
Is that true?
Sumiko Kobayashi blinked.

Why does she have absolutely no recollection of this?
Then, peeking out slightly, she saw the cherry blossom wreath in Ayumi's hand.

Kobayashi Sumiko:?
Ah, I get it!

Ayumi must have just repeated the meaning of cherry blossoms to this frivolous police officer...

That's why this frivolous male police officer said such a thing!

Sumiko Kobayashi silently took half a step back.

Shiratori Renzaburo:?

Why is it like this?
This is different from what Officer Chiba told him!

That's what it says in the Gala game!

As a professional police officer, Shiratori Ninzaburo could immediately sense Kobayashi Sumiko's emotional change, and felt as if struck by lightning, leaving him speechless for a moment.

It's obvious that he pursued the wrong person completely.

The girl standing before him, Kobayashi Sumiko, was the same little girl he had met in elementary school.

However, because so much time has passed, Kobayashi Sumiko seems to have completely forgotten what happened back then...

Do we need to trigger some special CG to make Kobayashi Sumiko recall what happened back then?

How do I do this? Officer Chiba didn't say anything about it.

Did such a situation occur between him and Miike Naoko?
"Wow, it seems Officer Shiratori is disliked."

Ayumi said with some concern.

Ai Haibara, who was happily watching the gossip nearby, also sighed and put her hand to her forehead.

She finally saw it.

The Shiratori Ninzaburo problem is about choosing a detour when one should be aggressive, and choosing aggressiveness when one should be detour.

If only he had asked Miwako Sato about his elementary school days earlier when he was at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Then we wouldn't have wasted so much time on Miwako Sato.

If he had used a different excuse to approach Sumiko Kobayashi.

Perhaps the gentle-natured Sumiko Kobayashi wouldn't feel disgusted by his presence.

However, it's not entirely without a chance...

Because Ai Haibara remembers that Sumiko Kobayashi really liked the police profession.

Shiratori Ninzaburo is not only the son of a large corporation, but also handsome, rich, and a professional police officer. He fits Kobayashi Sumiko's view on love in every way. It seems that as she slowly builds up her affection for him, there is still hope of unlocking his personal side story.

"...Anyway, I'll take the children back first."

Kobayashi Sumiko said somewhat reluctantly.

Then his gaze fell on Chen En inside, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Mr. Chen En, could you please drive us back?"

Chen En: ?
What? I'm involved too?
Chen En glanced at Shiratori Renzaburo's eyes, then beckoned Ai Haibara over and said calmly.

"Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, we have something to do."

"It's probably not on the way from here, so please let Officer Shiratori take you back."

Shiratori Ninzaburo: !

Chen En, you're such a kind person!

I'll never laugh at you for calling yourself Batman again!
