Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"Yes, you are right." Gao Mu did not deny it. He glanced at his watch and said, "Okay, I think we should find a place to start questioning! I have a date at 5 o'clock today."

Ayumi was very observant. She reminded Takagi, "The buttons on your cuffs are about to fall off."

Takagi raised his sleeves in surprise.

"The collar is also dirty." Xiao Ai added.

"And the shirt is so wrinkled." Mitsuhiko continued.

These various phenomena together indicate that

"Uncle policeman, you don't... have a girlfriend, do you?"

Ayumi asked the soul-searching question on behalf of the others.

Gao Mu was suddenly speechless.

Dr. Agasa didn't think it was a big deal as he was still single. However, with the idea of ​​taking care of young people, he generously offered to introduce his cousin's granddaughter to Takagi.

Gao Mu waved his hands in panic, "Don't bother with that. Don't look at me like this, I already have a lover."

As soon as he finished speaking, a short-haired beauty walked in from the entrance. Winnett remembered her. She was the policewoman she kicked away. In terms of fighting ability, she was much stronger than Gao Mu in front of her. If the sweetheart he was referring to was her, it seemed like she was trying to overthrow the powerful.

"Hey, Officer Takagi, what's going on with these kids? If they are lost, shouldn't they be sent to the life counseling group?" Sato Miwako looked at the room full of children in confusion.

The moment she appeared, Takagi looked nervous, looked back quickly, and then shook his hands embarrassedly. He was about to explain but was interrupted by Genta.

"Who is this big sister?" Yuan Tai asked.

"Why are you blushing?" Ayumi asked again.

Mitsuhiko looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and said excitedly, "I understand! She is Officer Takagi's girlfriend, right?"

After hearing what Mitsuhiko said, Takagi became even more anxious, his expression distorted. He gave the little troublemakers a look while feeding them, but it was doomed to be in vain, as Genta's thick nerves could not understand him at all.

"Is this okay? You brought your girlfriend to a place like this."

Seeing Gao Mu's attitude, Winnett understood that he was interested in this policewoman.

"No!" Sato didn't care about what they said and introduced herself, "My name is Sato Miwako. Although I'm a woman, I'm a female police officer belonging to the Violent Criminal Team 3!"

When the three kids heard the word "female police officer", they cheered one after another and thought it was very cool.

Sato's carefree attitude dealt a slight blow to Takagi in disguise.

Winette remembered that she was also in the police team last time at the arena, but she did not say hello to these kids at that time. As for Officer Takagi, he was familiar with Conan, but had no connection with these kids.

"What are these kids doing here?" Sato asked Takagi.

"They are witnesses in the Blue Castle case."

"Could it be that they are the kids who performed so well in that case?"

"Yes, because the suspect admitted all the crimes, Officer Megure asked them to come here for a detailed review of the incident."

Winnet and Dr. Agasa stood in the back. They really didn't help much in this case, and she herself was tricked by the criminal.

At this time, Ayumi exclaimed in surprise.

"I remember now, you are the policewoman who responded to the Arena Incident, right?" she said admiringly, "So you are the agile sister!"

"By the way, you were the kids wandering around everywhere back then!"

Sato's words caused dissatisfaction among the Junior Detective Team.

"We didn't just wander around, but we worked very hard to help with the case!"

"We didn't hinder the investigation!"

"That's right! We, the Junior Detective Team, are here to uphold justice! Isn't that right?"

Genta, who spoke last, was a little excited, which caused Dr. Agasa to hold him down worriedly.

"Yes, the incident in the arena and the incident in the blue castle were probably solved thanks to you." Sato leaned over and looked at Genta, "But little brother, the phrase 'upholding justice' is not something you can just say to show off." Officer Sato winked playfully, put a finger in front of his nose, and said, "You have to bury it deep in your heart!"

Then she looked at the other children, "Do you understand what I mean, little detectives?"

Being stared at by Sato Miwako, they couldn't help but hum with a slightly blushing face.

Xiao Ai looked up at Winnett, her eyes seemed to be saying, "How come even you are so fascinated by it?", full of disdain.

"It seems a bit too standardized, doesn't it?" Sato asked Takagi for his opinion.

"No." Takagi was also stunned, but he quickly reacted, "But, Officer Sato, what's wrong with you? Didn't you and Officer Megure go to the investigation headquarters of this 200 million yen robbery to provide support for the investigation?"

"I came back just for this case."

Officer Sato said that the head of the bank that was robbed yesterday said that he suddenly thought of something, and called her last night to tell her that he wanted to tell her. The other party also asked her to meet him at the Metropolitan Police Department today at two o'clock, and the couple would come together.

"Why did the couple come together?" Conan asked curiously.

"Because when the robbery happened, the bank manager's wife happened to be at the bank, and the robber had a gun pointed at her head. Maybe the bank manager just suddenly remembered something."

When Takagi heard what Sato said, he looked strange.

"But this is strange. Why did the wife of the person in charge also call me last night? She said she wanted to talk to me about something about the criminals and that she would come over alone at five o'clock."

It turns out that the person who was scheduled to meet at five o'clock was not Officer Sato.

Winette looked at her watch before meeting Takagi and thought he was in a hurry for a date.

However, is it really a good idea to reveal the case and related personnel to these irrelevant people? Winette feels that this is a bit frivolous.

"Oh, the person in charge also mentioned this on the phone. He is worried that the criminal will harm his wife, so they have to come together at daybreak."

"What? So that's how it is."

This conversation with poor information caught Conan's attention, and even Ai became alert. She probably noticed Edogawa's mode switch and thought that something troublesome was going to happen again.

Winette estimated the time...

It's exactly two o'clock in the afternoon now.

……

412 pm

"By the way, did Yumi from the traffic class tell you anything?"

"Eh?"

"I remember last night, I went drinking with her. I was drunk and talked to her a lot, but I don't know what I said."

"No, she didn't say anything!"

Gao Mu suddenly became nervous, as if he had confessed something. He recalled that this morning, Yumi came to him and told him that last night, after being drunk by her, Sato Miwako mentioned that there was someone in the Investigation Division that Officer Sato liked. What if that person was him? He couldn't help thinking this, and he looked at Sato, his face slightly flushed.

Like a little boy who is just beginning to fall in love.

Xiao Ai simply evaluated in her heart.

Before Takagi could stay in this delusion for long, a police officer suddenly appeared at the door and shouted "Officer Sato"; the police officer brought the person in charge of Touto Bank, who had an appointment with Sato.

"Thank you for your hard work." Officer Sato looked at the person in charge and said, "Please come in."

The person in charge was a middle-aged, overweight man named Masuo. He had hair that looked like seaweed in bibimbap, a slightly bloated nose, and a small mustache like Kogoro. He started looking at his watch as soon as he entered the door. "Finally I caught up."

"Oh? Madam didn't come with you?"

Gao Mu looked left and right, and he was the only one there.

"Because my wife suddenly had to go to the bank for something, so we agreed to meet here directly." He explained, and looked around again, "Why, she hasn't arrived yet?"

"Yeah." Takagi nodded.

"That's strange, is she still sleeping?" Masuo said, and glanced at his watch. Then he pointed at the phone on the table and asked, "How about this, Mr. Officer? Can I borrow your phone?"

"Please use."

After a series of button prompt sounds, Zengwei picked up the microphone, but his posture was strange, holding it with his shoulder and head. The reason he did this was because he placed his left hand in front of his eyes - and looked at the watch on his hand again.

After three times in a row, not only Conan and Ai, but even Winnet, who was standing far away, noticed something was wrong. She initially thought he was a person who paid a lot of attention to time, but it was very strange that he looked at his watch three times in a row within a minute; this situation usually means confirming the time down to the second, or the whole person is in an extremely nervous state waiting for a critical moment.

"That's three times." Xiao Ai said softly.

"What?" Ayumi was puzzled.

Winnett answered quickly, "The number of times that person looked at his watch."

If it were her, if she installed a time bomb, she would also repeatedly check the time to determine the status of the bomb.

Conan was inspired by the detective spirit and stared at Masuo with a vigilant look. However, he did not have Winnet's extraordinary senses. At this moment, she had quietly approached the table, intending to capture the content of the conversation from the microphone; in her opinion, Mr. Masuo obviously belonged to the second situation she guessed, and it seemed that he had even prepared an excuse in advance to borrow the phone. When he pressed the phone keys, his speed was gradually increasing.

The bell rang three times.

"Hello, this is the Masuo household...ah, dear."

"I've already been to the police station."

"Huh? Are you at the police station?"

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Mr. Masuo said this and handed the microphone to Officer Takagi beside him.

His wife seemed unaware of this... Winette thought it was nothing. It was probably because of the presence of Conan that she became a little nervous, fearing that this was a precursor to some conspiracy. Judging from the tone of the lady's voice, there seemed to be no conflict between her and Mr. Maso. She did not have the habit of eavesdropping, so she returned to her original position.

Gao Mu took the phone and said, "Hello, Madam. This is the Investigation Division 1."

"Ah, you're the officer from yesterday... Officer Takagi, right?"

"Yes, why are you still at home now? Did something happen?"

"Eh? What are you talking about? Didn't we agree to meet at five o'clock?"

"But weren't you supposed to come to our place with your husband at two o'clock today? It was your husband who told us."

Takagi's tone grew increasingly confused.

This indirectly shows that the lady really didn't know about this matter.

"I've never heard of such a thing, never!"

Mr. Masuo, who was standing next to Takagi, also heard the voice in the microphone. The next second, he excitedly grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly: "Come on, what nonsense are you talking about!"

However, his extreme action caused Takagi to stagger, and the little finger of his left hand touched the hands-free button.

The next second—

"what!"

A terrified cry came from the phone.

Winnet couldn't help but frown.

This was so conspicuous that it was almost an open conspiracy. Winette intuitively determined that the culprit behind the scream was the man in front of her.

Takagi grabbed the microphone back, "Hey! Mrs. Masuo, answer me! Madam! What happened?"

"Officer Takagi, please send the machine gun team on standby. I'll drive the car to the door!" Officer Sato at the door has already taken action.

Takagi responded and turned to look for someone to take over, while Mr. Masuo looked flustered and hurried out of the room; of course, there was also a little kid who took action immediately.

"What is the Mechanized Search Team?" Genta was puzzled by the term Sato mentioned.

Now it’s Mitsuhiko’s turn to share science.

"It's the abbreviation for the Exciting Investigation Team that conducts the preliminary investigation of the case, right, Conan?"

Mitsuhiko was just about to seek approval, but when he looked around, Conan was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Conan?"

Ai answered with her hands behind her back, "Who knows?"

In the blink of an eye, the office in front of them was empty, leaving only the group of people who came to take statements.

But the problem is, once Takagi leaves, this work naturally cannot be carried out.

Xiao Ai pulled on Winnet's clothes.

"Now we don't know when they will come back. Do we have to wait forever?"

After waiting for a while, no one took over.

It seems that the mobile search team was also investigating the incident on the phone, which has nothing to do with them.
