Conan was taken aback, then shook his head repeatedly.

"In that case, let's search in this manner."

Lin Xiaofeng handed the painting to Shiratori: "Officer Shiratori, this painting should be useful for investigation, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with this painting. Although the painting skills are indeed not up to par, at least the features are recognizable, and it can be identified at a glance..."

Shiratori took the painting, then hesitated and said, "But if we mobilize a large number of police forces to search for just one suspect, it would be too much of a fuss."

Moreover, this is a joint investigation into the arsonist's activities, and it would be inappropriate for them to take on all of it.

"Don't you trust Ayumi?"

"Don't underestimate us kids!"

"Ayumi can't be wrong!"

The children immediately became unhappy, and they all looked indignant at the police officer's suspicion.

"It's not that I don't believe it..."

Takagi smiled and tried to smooth things over, "After all, Ayumi didn't see the suspect committing arson at the time. It would have been troublesome if she had made a mistake."

"It should be right."

Conan suddenly pondered and deduced, "The weather is still a bit hot. That guy was wearing a trench coat and gloves, and his trousers still smelled of gasoline. He also appeared near the fire scene with a strange smile. If he's not the culprit, it really doesn't make sense..."

After Conan's deliberations, Sato Miwako finally decided to go to the crime scene.

However, before that, she still had to detour to another place.

……

At a crossroads.

Miwako Sato squatted beside a utility pole on a sidewalk, her hands clasped together in devout prayer. In front of her was a white flower stuck in a soda can.

Today is the anniversary of her father, Sato Masayoshi's, death.

Eighteen years ago, Sato Masayoshi was hit by a truck while chasing a suspect. Because it was raining, the ambulance was delayed in arriving. Sato Masayoshi breathed his last after his family arrived at the scene.

Listening to Shiratori's explanation, Takagi asked in surprise, "Could it be that the police officer who was murdered in that case..."

"That's right, it's Officer Sato's father, Sato Masayoshi."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and pondered, "That case was called the 'Shushiro' case. After Sato Masayoshi was hit by a truck, he kept calling out that name to the murderer, so the case was named 'Shushiro'. The police also conducted a large-scale search, but about three years ago, the statute of limitations for this case expired."

"I remember that case too..."

Takagi recalled, "It was a very meticulous robbery, and the amount stolen was 550 million yen."

Lin Xiaofeng's ears perked up upon hearing this: "Five hundred and fifty million?"

"Yes, it's a very large sum of money."

Takagi said regretfully, "The only clue at the scene was ten seconds of surveillance footage. No one knows how Sato Masayoshi found the murderer, so the investigation couldn't continue, and it was eventually forgotten..."

"The statute of limitations... what a kind rule."

Conan crossed his arms and looked at Miwako Sato, seemingly moved: "It's so unreasonable that someone who has committed an irreparable crime like murder can hide for more than ten years and then return to society as if nothing happened. Even though the murderer can start over, the victim suffers a pain that they can never forget for the rest of their life..."

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Miwako Sato slowly stood up. "Although everyone still remembers the name of that case and the perpetrator, no one will remember the police officer who died unless they are a member of the police force... There's nothing we can do if there's no evidence to continue the investigation."

"Anyway, we didn't do this job to become famous..."

After a pause, Sato Miwako looked at Lin Xiaofeng: "But it's really good that Lin Xiaofeng-kun still remembered this old case... I thought detectives wouldn't like to investigate cases where the culprit can't be brought to justice."

... .... 0

"I just have a good memory. I happened to come across this case when I was investigating an old case..."

Lin Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "However, cases that have exceeded the statute of limitations should still be investigated. Even if the criminals cannot be brought to justice, someone will still fill in a perfect ending to this case."

"But ah..."

Conan suddenly asked, "The truck driver must have seen the culprit's face, right?"

Miwako Sato agreed with Conan's question.

However, the prisoner was wearing sunglasses and a raincoat, so even the driver couldn't tell what he looked like under those circumstances.

Even if you know that the other person's name is "Sorrowful Lover", it is actually not a person's name.

The clues left at the scene were too few; the only additional clue was the English letter "kano".

"I remember when I was a child, I would often stare at those words, trying to find some clues."

Sato Miwako smiled helplessly, "At the time, I was thinking that if anyone could crack the code and capture Shushiro, I would grant them any request."

"Any conditions are acceptable?!"

Both Takagi and Shiratori, those two sycophants, couldn't help but swallow hard.

In my mind, I pictured Miwako Sato wearing a wedding dress, walking down the aisle with me.

486. The simp is indulging in his own self-pity again.

After that, another group of people came to the crossroads to pay their respects to Sato Masayoshi.

That group consisted of three boys and one girl, all of whom were Sato Masayoshi's high school classmates. Each of them had an animal name in their name, such as ape, deer, bird, or pig.

After a brief discussion, they left.

Then, Inspector Megure, who had just finished dealing with a bank robbery case, received news that a man had suddenly rushed out of the security checkpoint at Shinagawa subway station, and his features were extremely similar to those described by Ayumi.

Takagi and Shiratori were called up to the scene as reinforcements. Lin Xiaofeng felt that he should also go and see if he could help, so they went to Shinagawa Station together. Sato Miwako stayed behind to continue identifying the crime scene with the children.

……

Shinagawa Station.

Shortly after arriving, the suspect was subdued by Lin Xiaofeng, Takagi, and Shiratori.

However, this suspect was not an arsonist, but a thief.

"Officer, I'm really not the arsonist!"

The thief was pinned to the ground by the police officer at the station, and he repeatedly cried out that he was innocent.

"Inspector, we have apprehended the suspect who escaped from Shinagawa Station."

Shiratori stood to the side, straightening his disheveled suit: "But according to him, he was just a burglar..."

Takagi tugged at his collar, wiped the sweat from his temples, and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, who was sitting to the side, not panting and dressed neatly: "Advisor Lin Xiaofeng, your stamina is really good. You arrested this guy so easily."

"nothing."

Lin Xiaofeng said, "I just exercise regularly."

"exercise?"

Takagi paused for a moment, then asked, "Could you tell me how you usually train?"

"Well..."

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment: "It's probably just a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, and a 10km run every day. You just need to stick to it every day."

"Ugh?"

Takagi was taken aback by his question: "Do we have to do it every day?"

"Yes, it has to be done every day; you can't give up now."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded: "But this method is not suitable for everyone. If you are not in good health, you may hurt yourself."

"So that's it..."

Takagi nodded thoughtfully, considering whether he should try the training Lin Xiaofeng had suggested.

After all, the scene where Lin Xiaofeng single-handedly subdued the thief that he and Shiratori had been unable to subdue even when they worked together was truly astonishing.

He looked up at the station's license plate, but suddenly paused for a moment.

Immediately, a surge of excitement washed over him, and he had already forgotten what had just happened.

Because he has already discovered the secret of that code!

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and planned to call Sato, intending to ask him to reward him.

"Takagi, who are you calling?"

Shiratori noticed Takagi's unusual behavior and bent down to ask him.

"nothing……"

Takagi nodded hurriedly and quickly pulled out his "urine shield technique": "I just need to go to the bathroom."

As he spoke, he quickly stood up...

"I'm going to the restroom too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng stood up and followed.

"Lin Xiaofeng?"

Takagi looked at Lin Xiaofeng who had followed him and immediately felt a bit troubled: "Um, do you also need to go to the restroom?"

"Ah."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, then looked at Gao Mu suspiciously: "Aren't you going?"

"Ahem."

Takagi coughed lightly, feeling something was off.

However, if we just follow Lin Xiaofeng to the restroom, things might get a little complicated...

He needs to tell Sato about this quickly!

If it were Lin Xiaofeng, he probably wouldn't steal his opportunity, right?

After thinking for a moment, Takagi made a decision: "Actually, it's like this, I already know who the murderer who killed Sato's father is..."

"So that's it..."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slyly: "So you want someone to tell Officer Sato about this in exchange for something, right?"

"Ah... no, that's not how it is..."

Takagi 1.4 was momentarily flustered.

"Go ahead and make the call."

Lin Xiaofeng put his hands in his pockets and ignored Gao Mu's explanation: "Anyway, I really need to go to the restroom, I won't eavesdrop on your conversation."

"Oh...oh! Thank you, Consultant Lin Xiaofeng!"

Takagi nodded repeatedly, expressing his gratitude to Lin Xiaofeng from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xiaofeng raised his hand and waved behind him, without replying.

After saying goodbye to Takagi, Lin Xiaofeng disappeared on his own. He didn't think that a good-for-nothing like Takagi could get there first; in the end, he would have to step in anyway.

487. Takagi was still fantasizing about Miwako's relationship with Yuji.

Imagining his bright future, Takagi walked to the phone booth in front of the subway station, eager to tell Sato Miwako that he had cracked the code.

But just as he made the call and hadn't even exchanged two words, Shiratori suddenly followed him: "Takagi, are you in the bathroom?"

"what?"

Takagi quickly hung up the phone: "Well, actually I have something to take care of..."

"Ok?"

Shiratori frowned, looking at Takagi suspiciously: "Your actions are very suspicious..."

"Ugh, honestly, what are you even talking about?"

Takagi quickly and resentfully broke free and ran towards the nearby warehouse, saying, "I need to go to the restroom!"

"Isn't the restroom over there?"
