I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

Upon hearing this, Miwako Sato gave a wry smile and shook her head: "It's not that easy."

"The application process for infiltration and search is very strict. It requires approval from superiors and must be supported by sufficient reasons and evidence to be approved."

"Besides the code you deciphered for me, I don't have any physical evidence that can directly convict me."

"There's absolutely no way this application will be approved."

After hearing this, Lin Shen did not continue speaking.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, weighing in his mind whether he should risk helping her.

After thinking for a few seconds, he decided to give up the idea.

Because his relationship with Miwako Sato hadn't reached that level yet.

The reason he was willing to help her decipher the code yesterday was because he already knew the code, and it wouldn't take much effort to say it. He considered it compensation for knocking her unconscious so many times during this period.

But to actually ask him to risk breaking the law and committing crimes to help her infiltrate and investigate.

What if Miwako Sato has a strong sense of justice and refuses to accept this method, or even investigates his responsibility afterward?

Wouldn't that be pushing yourself into a fire pit?

He looked up, his expression one of genuine apology: "I'm sorry, Officer Sato, I really can't help with this."

"I'm just a detective novel enthusiast; I'm not very familiar with the internal police investigation procedures."

He shrugged helplessly.

Miwako Sato waved her hand, suppressing her disappointment.

She forced a smile: "It's okay. This is a difficult matter to handle, and I didn't expect it to be resolved all at once."

"I'm already very grateful that you could help me decipher that code."

After she finished speaking, she stood there for a while, as if waiting for a miracle to happen, but no miracle came.

She finally sighed softly, turned around, pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop, and walked out somewhat dejectedly.

After a while, the glass door was pushed open again.

This time, it was Ran and Sonoko Suzuki who came in.

The two were wearing the same school uniform and carrying backpacks, clearly having come directly after school.

As soon as Sonoko entered, she saw Lin Shen and asked, "Lin, what happened to Officer Sato just now?"

"She seems to be in a bad mood."

Lin Shen did not hide anything and recounted the whole story of the Chou Si Lang case.

This includes the fact that Shuji Kano is the real culprit, and that Miwako Sato's confrontation with him failed.

However, due to the lack of physical evidence, a case cannot be filed, and now we can only watch helplessly as the murderer goes unpunished.

After hearing this, Xiaolan's face immediately showed a look of indignation.

She clenched her fists, her voice filled with obvious anger: "We...we already know the culprit is that guy named Kano Shuji, how come we still can't catch him?"

Lin Shen leaned against the bar counter, his tone calm: "That's reality... Legally speaking, it really is."

"Without direct evidence or physical evidence, a set of deciphered codes alone cannot constitute a complete chain of evidence under the law."

"As long as the criminal doesn't confess, the police can't do anything about him."

Sonoko's reaction to this was even stronger than Ran's.

She tossed her schoolbag onto the chair beside her, put her hands on her hips, and said with the self-righteousness typical of a wealthy heiress, "Doesn't that just let that criminal get away with it? What kind of logic is that!"

Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then spoke.

Her tone carried a sense of helplessness and resentment: "Sigh... there's nothing we can do about it."

"After all, so many years have passed since the case, and the evidence from that time was severely lacking. It's indeed very difficult to bring the perpetrator to justice now..."

But the garden didn't buy into that.

As the daughter of the Suzuki zaibatsu, she has witnessed more of the gray areas of this country than the average person has ever tasted salt.

She had little respect for the law and the system.

She has personally witnessed far too many people who exploit legal loopholes and live more comfortably than anyone else!

Sonoko walked straight over and hugged Lin Shen's arm, her voice carrying a coquettish yet firm tone that brooked no refusal: "Lin, do you have any good ideas? Something that can bring that guy to justice!"

Lin Shen was being swayed back and forth by her arms, but he didn't push her away. He smiled and said, "Of course there's a way. But... it's illegal."

Sonoko replied without hesitation, "Who cares if it's legal or not! As long as that bastard gets to jail, that's all that matters!"

Xiaolan stood to the side, opening her mouth as if to say, "It's better not to do anything illegal."

But when she was about to say it, she swallowed it back.

Because she herself had broken into the Metropolitan Police Department a few nights ago, snatched a suspect from the interrogation room, and fought with the detectives…

She is no longer the person who could confidently say "we cannot break the law".

She paused for a moment, then changed her approach: the starting point of this case was justice. If compliant means are not feasible, then occasionally using some non-compliant means to achieve a just outcome is not unacceptable!

Rather than watching the murderer go unpunished, it's better to use some unconventional methods to make him pay the price.

Looking into Yuanzi's bright, sparkling eyes, Lin Shen couldn't help but smile and said admiringly, "I love your people-oriented sense of justice!"

"Okay, tonight we'll help Officer Sato bring this criminal to justice."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko visibly became excited.

As the daughter of the Suzuki zaibatsu, she has had almost nothing she couldn't get from childhood to adulthood, and there's nothing she wanted to do but couldn't do.

But she had never actually tried "breaking the law," or rather, "fighting for justice" before!

Just thinking about doing something exciting tonight made her adrenaline surge!

Sonoko nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay! We'll go together then!"

Then she turned around, grabbed Xiaolan's arm, and said enthusiastically, "Xiaolan, come along too!"

Xiaolan was taken aback by her sudden invitation. She pointed to herself, her voice hesitant, "Huh? I have to go too?"

Sonoko released Lin Shen's arm, turned around and hugged Xiao Lan's arm with both hands, saying in a coquettish tone, "Of course! We're best friends!"

"What is it that I won't accompany you for? Now I have something I need you to do with me, how can you bear to refuse me?"

As she said this, she blinked her big eyes again, deliberately lowering her voice with a hint of grievance, "And don't you want to know how that criminal was finally brought to justice?"

Ran looked at Sonoko's expectant eyes and struggled with her feelings for a while.

Then she came to terms with it; after all, she wasn't exactly a clean person either.

Let's go!

She nodded gently: "Well... okay then."

Sonoko immediately cheered, "I knew Ran would come with me!"
