Conan: The Heart Thief

"Then how can a person who is so drunk that he can't even move kill someone?" A beautiful smile appeared on Miwako's lips. Although it has been mentioned before, it is different when Kitagawa admits it himself.

"This, this... Hey! Officer, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?" Beichuan's face changed slightly. He couldn't think of a reason for a moment and became furious.

"Are you angry because of shame?" Sato Miwako sneered.

Beichuan realized that something was wrong, took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Officer, please don't deliberately provoke me. Judging from the scene, I can't be the murderer!"

"Then why did you change the bed and curtains in Nishimura's room? From beige to gray." Sato Miwako said slowly.

"Hey, I've never done anything like this!" Beichuan was no longer feeling guilty, but was instead feeling terrified. "Officer, if you can't produce evidence, don't blame me for suing you for defamation!"

"The evidence is...your shopping records!" Sato Miwako was confident. The beautiful and confident policewoman was just beautiful to look at. Lin Xiao, who was standing by, was overwhelmed by the policewoman's charm.

"Mr. Beichuan, don't resist. You just happened to buy the same item as the one at the crime scene at a nearby mall. This is enough to serve as evidence of your crime."

"Besides that, you deliberately put away the soul calendar in Miss Nishimura's room, hid the cactus pot on the balcony, and changed the layout of Miss Nishimura's room!"

"You, what do you mean!" All his tricks were discovered by the observant female police officer, and Beichuan collapsed.

"What I mean is that you did all this just to decorate Miss Muranishi's room to look like Mr. Higashida's! The purpose is to make Mr. Higashida mistake Miss Muranishi's room for his own room!"

"I didn't, why would I do that?" Beichuan gritted his teeth.

"After you killed Miss Muranishi, you took Mr. Higashida, who was drunk and unconscious in the bar, directly to Miss Muranishi's room, giving him the illusion that he was back in his room. Then you just reminded him to lock the door with the chain, and it became a 'perfect locked room'. When Miss Nishimura's body was found the next day, most people would think that it was Mr. Higashida who committed the crime. This is your method."

"Damn it!" Beichuan had nothing to say and just knelt down.

"Detective Lin, my reasoning is correct, right? Is there anything else you want to add?"

Sato Miwako turned around and proudly puffed out her chest towards Lin Xiao, her eyes full of longing. It was because of Lin Xiao's guidance that she was able to figure everything out.

"Officer Sato, your reasoning is so brilliant that even this great detective is better than you."

Lin Xiao was teasing her on purpose, and Sato Miwako smiled brightly, her smile was so beautiful.

Chapter 158: Takagi Wataru is strict with himself

Beichuan was still struggling, but Lin Xiao's reasoning and supplementary information made Beichuan fall into despair.

"In addition to the shopping records, the injury on your thumb is also evidence." Lin Xiao noticed that Beichuan's thumb was pierced by a cactus thorn. "Your thumb was pierced by a cactus. In this case, your blood must have been left on the thorns of the cactus in Xicun's room. This is irrefutable evidence."

Beichuan knelt on the ground, crying bitterly and admitted his crime.

It turns out that Kitagawa and Nishimura were a pair of lovers who had a good relationship. However, one day, Nishimura proposed to Kitagawa, and Kitagawa agreed to his proposal. Since then, Nishimura has been interfering with Kitagawa in all aspects. Kitagawa wanted to stop Nishimura's behavior, but Nishimura regarded herself as his fiancée and still tried to control Kitagawa. Kitagawa couldn't stand it. Thinking of marrying Nishimura in the future, he felt that life was worse than death, so he came up with a plan to kill Nishimura and put the blame on Higashida, and implemented the plan.

"What a vicious man! If you don't want to marry the woman, why did he accept her proposal?" Miwako Sato didn't understand Nishimura's behavior at all.

"Not everyone is suitable for marriage, and Beichuan is one of those people who is not suitable for marriage, but he doesn't know it." Lin Xiao deeply feels that people don't necessarily have to get married. It is actually a tragedy that when one is obviously not suitable for marriage, he is forced to get married by the trend.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived with his men.

"Meihezi, what's the matter with you saying on the phone that you found the real murderer? Hey, Brother Lin, you are here too!"

"..."

Lin Xiao nodded expressionlessly. If the Metropolitan Police Department's criminal police could solve the case without relying on detectives, he would not be here.

"Inspector Megure, this is what happened..." Sato Miwako briefly recounted what happened.

"So this is the truth! I understand, Sato, you've worked so hard!" Inspector Megure's mouth twitched. He and his subordinates really couldn't do without detectives. Without the help of detectives, all kinds of problems would arise, and they almost wrongly accused someone.

Kitagawa was arrested by the police, and the female detective Sato Miwako, who caught the real criminal, naturally followed her other colleagues back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Detective Lin, do you have anything to do later?" Sato Miwako suddenly asked before leaving.

"I... am fine." Lin Xiao replied without thinking.

"Then you should come with me to the Metropolitan Police Department. I will treat you to dinner after I finish my work."

"Eh? Officer Sato, if you're busy, then you don't have to."

"I'm not busy. This case was not originally my responsibility. I'll go back to the Metropolitan Police Department and handle the matter quickly. You don't need to wait too long."

"That's fine."

Lin Xiao followed Sato Miwako and took a police car to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just as Miwako Sato said, she returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and quickly finished her work.

At the same time, she provided great help to Takagi Wataru who was in charge of the case.

"Officer Sato, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been criticized again." Takagi Shigeru looked like he was saved.

"Officer Takagi, you also need to grow up quickly and stop making mistakes." Takagi Wataru has been in the First Investigation Division for quite a long time, and he is still very unreliable, which makes Sato Miwako worried about the future of the First Investigation Division.

Takagi Wataru thought that Sato Miwako was encouraging him and was deeply moved: "Yes, Officer Sato, I will definitely grow up and not let you down."

"Okay." Sato Miwako smiled lightly, then turned around to meet Lin Xiao, who was still waiting for her in the lobby of the Metropolitan Police Department, to have dinner together.

"Wait a moment, Officer Sato."

"What's wrong? Officer Takagi, is there anything else?"

"No, Officer Sato, you helped me a lot, and I want to treat you to dinner to thank you properly."

“No need, we are all colleagues.”

"I definitely want to!" Takagi Shigeru insisted. He had been fascinated by the heroic female colleague a long time ago and wanted to pursue her. Now was an opportunity that he had to seize. "Officer Sato, are you free later? Now that we're off work, I can just treat you to dinner. Don't refuse."

"Sorry, I already have an appointment."

"Then next time."

"Not next time either."

Sato Miwako felt that her job was her responsibility and there was no reason for Officer Takagi to thank her, so she refused without hesitation. However, Lin Xiao, as a high school student, was the one she really needed to thank for his selfless help to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After being rejected by Sato Miwako, Takagi Wataru felt like he was pierced by thousands of arrows and was extremely upset.

"Wuwuwu...Sato...Officer..."

Just when Takagi Wataru was feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly remembered that Sato Miwako said she had an appointment. Then who made the appointment with Sato Miwako? He must check it out!

So, Takagi Shigeru followed Sato Miwako secretly, and then he saw that Sato Miwako's date was the high school detective Lin Xiao.

What surprised Takagi Shigeru even more was that Sato Miwako actually took the initiative to hold Lin Xiao's hand and pulled Lin Xiao out of the Metropolitan Police Department, looking extremely intimate.

"How could that be? Although Lin Xiao is a famous detective, he is still just a student. Officer Sato is already 28 years old this year. He wouldn't be so crazy as to date a high school student. That's too absurd."

Takagi Shigeru was very unwilling to accept this. He felt that he was more suitable for Sato Miwako than Lin Xiao in every aspect. Sato Miwako was his goddess, and he was the only one who could be with her. This made him feel that he was cheated on by Lin Xiao. Even though he was not qualified to be cheated on, he was still stricter than cheating on himself.

In view of this, Takagi continued his stalking behavior...

A cafe called "Ice Flower" is located on a street corner in Chiyoda Ward.

The cafe has a nice environment and the customers are all young people, making it very suitable for couples to dine in.

The window and outdoor seats were all gone. Lin Xiao and Sato Miwako had no choice but to find a seat in a corner and sit down. It was mealtime, so you couldn't force yourself.

"Whatever you want to eat, just order whatever you want. Don't be polite to me. Of course, if you don't think this restaurant is good, I can take you to another restaurant."

“No, this store is already very good.”

Lin Xiao smiled lightly, not caring too much about where to eat. He opened the menu and ordered a pasta with iced cola.

“Is one pasta dish enough?”

"That's enough. I'm not used to eating too much at night."

"Row."

Then, Miwako Sato ordered herself an omelette rice with tempura and a glass of dark beer.

"Does the cafe also sell beer?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Miwako Sato replied.

After the waiter took the orders for a man and a woman, he went to the next seat, where a sneaky man in sunglasses was sitting.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

"Ah?" Takagi Wataru was startled and said tremblingly, "A cup of coffee will do."

"What kind of coffee would you like?"

“Just a regular Americano.”

Takagi Shigeru's mind was not on ordering at all. He carefully peeked at Lin Xiao and Sato Miwako, fearing that their relationship went beyond friendship.

……

Chapter 159 The policewoman's teeth left a lingering fragrance

Takagi Shige pretended to drink coffee, but secretly observed the conversation between Lin Xiao and Sato Miwako. However, the two did not have any conversation, but just ate quietly, keeping the good habit of not talking while eating.

Just when Takagi Wataru breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that it was probably just Sato Miwako inviting Lin Xiao to dinner, and there was nothing special worth mentioning.

"I misunderstood Officer Sato. How could Officer Sato like a boy who is ten years younger than her?"

Just when Gao Mushi was feeling relieved, he turned his head and secretly looked at the separated seats behind him again, and found that Sato Miwako was gone, and only Lin Xiao was there...

Just as Lin Xiao and Sato Miwako finished their dinner, Lin Xiao made an unreasonable request to Sato Miwako.

"Officer Sato, can you help me again, like you did last time."

"What? What do you mean?"

Sato Miwako was puzzled.

"that is……"

Lin Xiao gestured with his hands and then licked his lips.

When Miwako Sato saw Lin Xiao's demonstration, she immediately remembered what happened that day. Since Lin Xiao was dragged by her to use the beauty trap, in order to help Lin Xiao solve the sequelae, she first helped with her hands, but the effect was not good, so she followed Lin Xiao's advice and helped with her mouth. Now, Lin Xiao wants her to use the same trick again.

"In a place like this? No, we'll be discovered!"

"No, we are sitting at the end. As long as no one comes to observe us, we won't be discovered." Lin Xiao encouraged Sato Miwako. He succeeded last time and believed that he would succeed this time. Seeing Sato Miwako's heroic face, he wanted to blaspheme.
