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

Sato Miwako pushed open the bar door right on time and immediately saw Lin Shen's spot with a drink in front of him, as if he had been waiting for a while.

She strode over, tossed her bag onto a chair, and without even taking off her coat, said, "Sorry I'm late!"

"The party over there went on for quite a while. So, I'll punish myself with three drinks!"

As she spoke, she reached for the wine glass.

Lin Shen reached out and pressed down on the back of her hand, smiling slightly. "Alright, being late isn't such a big deal."

He released his grip, picked up his own glass of wine, and raised it. "Here, Sato-nee. Let me toast you first, congratulations on your promotion to Inspector."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako felt a little embarrassed. After ordering a drink from the waiter, she raised her glass and clinked it against his: "Oh dear, this is hardly my doing. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have even been able to catch a glimpse of that criminal."

She took a sip, looked at Lin Shen, and said, "To be honest, you got this promotion for me."

Lin Shen put down his wine glass and smiled: "Whether you caught him or not is not important."

"The important thing is that you already have the ability to be a police inspector. All you lack is time. I'm just helping you save that time."

These words made Sato Miwako's heart flutter with joy!

She immediately laughed: "Little brother, how come I never realized you were so good with words?"

She raised her glass. "Come on, in recognition of what you just said, I'll toast you."

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Shen put down his wine glass and asked, "What changes have you experienced in your work since being promoted to police inspector?"

Sato Miwako put down her glass and began to explain: "Well, in terms of rank, you're the same as Inspector Megure; you're both inspectors."

"But in terms of position, I am currently an assistant section chief, mainly responsible for some work for Inspector Megure."

She thought for a moment, "I'll be rushing to crime scenes less often in the future, and I'll be more responsible for commanding, supervising, and coordinating the planning."

After listening, Lin Shen nodded: "That's good. You're gradually moving towards a management position. That's a good thing."

Miwako Sato sighed, "It's a good thing, but Inspector Megure told me that besides solving cases, this position will also involve dealing with a bunch of other trivial matters!"

"Report review and budget management are all desk work."

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy crept into her voice, "Thinking about the future, I'll have to sit in an office all day like him..."

Lin Shen chimed in, "That's not bad either. Sitting in an office, you're protected from the wind and rain."

Sato Miwako rolled her eyes at him: "Aren't you afraid that sitting all day will ruin my figure?"

Lin Shen looked at her face, smiled, and shook his head: "That's simple, just go to the gym more often, and you won't lose your figure, right?"

He paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, if you don't want to go to the gym, you can come here more often, no problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako's face flushed red, she glared at him, gave a soft "humph," and didn't respond to the comment.

After a few seconds, she sighed again, her tone becoming more serious: "To be honest, I'm a little worried."

Lin Shen asked with dissatisfaction, "What are you worried about?"

Sato Miwako held her wine glass with both hands, a hint of unease in her expression: "I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

"Although I have been a criminal police officer for so many years, management positions and front-line case handling are completely different things."

"Moreover, all the detectives down there are seasoned veterans, each with their own methods and temperaments!"

"Sometimes they don't even listen to Inspector Megure. Do you think they'll listen to me?"

Her voice trailed off, "Besides, I'm a woman."

At this point, she seemed somewhat powerless.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen didn't rush to reply. Instead, he picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then put it down, saying calmly, "That's easy."

"After you take office, work for a while and see who doesn't cooperate and who is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant."

"Give me a list of people who agree to your proposals to your face but undermine you behind your back, and I'll take care of them for you."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako's eyes widened: "Huh? This...this isn't appropriate, is it? You're not planning to kill them, are you?"

"No need! Really no need! They're just disobeying my orders, it's not like we have any deep-seated hatred!"

Lin Shen was amused by her expression: "What are you thinking? I'm not some kind of psychopathic killer, how could I kill people so easily?"

He shook his head. "What I mean is, I'll have someone go over and have a good talk with him later, so he understands that he should cooperate when necessary and give him the respect he deserves."

Upon hearing this, Miwako Sato breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying, "You scared me to death! You only said half of what you meant, and I almost believed you."

But after thinking for a moment, she said, "But... wouldn't this method be a bit inappropriate?"

She hesitated, "After all, we'll be in the same department, seeing each other every day. If our relationship sours, it won't be good for our work in the future, right?"

Lin Shen did not refute. He picked up his wine glass, took a slow sip, and then said, "Sister Sato, let me tell you the truth."

"They're not listening to you, they're not giving you face, why are you still worried about their feelings?"

He put down his glass. "Besides," he said, "what is the job of a criminal investigator? It's to solve murder cases and give the deceased and their families justice!"

"If he doesn't even care about his job and keeps making things difficult for you, then tell me, can he be considered a qualified criminal investigator?"

"Can he still reveal the truth of the case? Can he still give the citizens justice?"

Miwako Sato remained silent for a while, without saying anything.

She already had the answer in her heart.

She recalled some cases she had seen before, where the clues were lost and the criminals went unpunished because some people were uncooperative, did not take it seriously, or dragged their feet.

She still remembers the scene of the family members crying their hearts out clearly.

She was silent for a few seconds, as if suppressing the last bit of hesitation in her heart, then raised her head and looked at Lin Shen earnestly: "Then I'll leave it to you, little brother."

As she spoke, she picked up her glass. "Here, let me toast you again!"

Lin Shen also raised his glass: "That's more like it." The two clinked glasses and each downed their drinks in one gulp.

After drinking two more glasses, Sato Miwako put down her glass, rubbed her forehead, and her eyes started to wander: "Hmm... I drank a little too much at the dinner with my colleagues earlier."

"I feel a little dizzy right now."

Lin Shen smiled inwardly as he looked at her.

To be honest, her acting skills are pretty average.

He was so clear-headed and articulate just a moment ago, but now he's completely lost his composure.

There's absolutely no excess!

What's more, the other party had drunk with him before.

Doesn't she know how much alcohol she can handle?

However, Lin Shen didn't point it out, but simply followed up with, "In that case, let's not drink today. I'll take you to a nearby hotel to rest."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako blushed slightly, her lips twitched, but she didn't refuse, softening her voice: "Then... thank you for your trouble."

Lin Shen didn't waste any words. He paid the bill, stood up, and helped her walk out.

The two left the bar, and the night breeze blew in their faces.

Sato Miwako's steps slowed down slightly, as if she were about to lose her balance.

Lin Shen reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, leading her toward the hotel across the street.

The lights were dim, the night breeze was cool, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

She walked beside him without saying much.

The two crossed the street and entered the warmly lit lobby of the hotel.

The elevator doors slowly closed.
