The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 140 Miwako's Confession

5:15 p.m.

Metropolitan Police Department.

Miwako Sato stretched, packed up her things, and prepared to finish her work for the day.

She picked up her bag and prepared to leave the office.

But his eyes couldn't help but look at the empty desk next to him.

Ugh!

It’s the fourth day since Inspector Hakuba left. I miss him!

Miwako Sato didn't know when it started, but whenever she couldn't see Hakuba Matsu, she would start to feel depressed.

On the contrary, it is joy.

This is especially evident during these four days.

Looking back, it seems that it has been a long time since I was away for such a long time, except for the last time when Bai Basong went on a business trip to Osaka.

Sato Miwako really feels strange now, and she wants to find someone to talk to.

Based on the principle of looking for your best friend when you are in doubt.

He took out his phone and called Yumi Miyamoto without hesitation.

Yumi Miyamoto also wanted to take a break, so she readily agreed.

The two of them randomly chose an izakaya on the street, sat down and feasted.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

As soon as Yumi Miyamoto sat down, she gulped down half a glass of beer.

"Ah, cool!"

Yumi Miyamoto exclaimed happily,

"Sure enough, coming to an izakaya after get off work and drinking a glass of beer is the happiest thing in life!"

Looking at her best friend who looked drunk, Miwako Sato could only nod helplessly.

Yes, yes, you are right.

Yumi Miyamoto picked up another skewer of yakitori, took a bite and her mouth was full of juice, she muttered,

"Tell me, what's the matter with asking me out?"

"Eh?"

Sato Miwako said strangely,

"Is there nothing I can do to ask you out?"

"Humph!"

Miyamoto Yumi said disdainfully,

"Usually I'm the one who asks you out to play, this is the first time you've asked me out!"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

As she spoke, Yumi Miyamoto put down her beer and skewers, and flirted with Sato Miwako,

"You've fallen in love with a man, haven't you? Are you asking me to be your advisor?"

Miwako Sato almost jumped up when she heard this, and looked at Yumi Miyamoto in surprise.

"you you........"

Who knew that Yumi Miyamoto was even more surprised than him,

"Oh my god, no way, I was right!"

Suddenly, she put her face close to Sato Miwako's face.

"Hurry, hurry, Miwako, tell me, who is it?"

Before Sato Miwako could answer, Miyamoto Yumi guessed again,

"Isn't it Inspector Hakuba?"

"Ah."

Sato Miwako was a little shy and said embarrassedly,

"I have an urge to get closer to Inspector Hakuba. I want to stay by his side."

“Hahahahahahahahaha….”

Hearing what Sato Miwako said, Miyamoto Yumi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, he said excitedly,

"That's great, that's great, Miwako, you're going to marry into a wealthy family!"

"In the future, when Inspector Hakuba is promoted to Superintendent General, you will be the Chief of Criminal Investigation!"

"As your best friend and sister, I'll just ask your husband to give me the position of Minister of Transportation!"

"If it doesn't work, ask him to give me a counselor or a section chief!"

“Ahahahahaha….”

After hearing what Miyamoto Yumi said, Sato Miwako was embarrassed and her face turned red.

She stood up, picked up her bag and pretended to leave, and said angrily,

"I shouldn't have dragged a drunk like you out here. I'm leaving now. Keep drinking!"

"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go,"

Miyamoto Yumi quickly pulled Sato Miwako and acted coquettishly towards her,

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Meiwako, please continue."

Sato Miwako said unhappily,

"What else do I have to say? Tell me what you think."

"My point of view?"

Miyamoto Yumi said without hesitation,

"Do I even need to ask? You two are together! You're both unmarried, and you're both the same age. You're not young anymore, so why not get together as a couple?"

"But, but......"

A trace of sadness appeared on Sato Miwako's face.

"What's wrong? What else are you worried about?"

Miyamoto Yumi asked doubtfully,

"Are you worried about Inspector Hakuba's family?"

"No, it's not,"

Sato Miwako shook her head and said softly,

"I'm just confused about my feelings right now."

"Tell me."

Yumi Miyamoto said.

Miwako Sato picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said,

"The first time I met Inspector Hakuba was actually when he transferred to the Third Department."

"At that time, because he was a very cold person, no one in the three departments wanted to talk to him. But I didn't want others to think that we were ostracizing others, so I started chatting with him. Of course, it was awkward at the time."

"I even invited him to take my car to the scene, but he might have been scared by me and refused my offer to take him back when we were going back."

At this point, Sato Miwako smiled.

"He looked a little embarrassed at the time, and that was when I realized he wasn't that difficult to get along with."

"After that, he solved several cases in succession. I felt powerless in comparison with him, so I wanted to ask him for advice."

Hearing this, Miyamoto Yumi took over the conversation.

"Is this the time when our Ministry of Transportation and you jointly handled a case?"

"That's right,"

Sato Miwako nodded and continued,

"That time, when I asked him for this, I was actually quite embarrassed. After all, we weren't that close at the time, and I just treated him to a bowl of ramen. It wasn't really appropriate to exchange a bowl of ramen for someone else's unique skills."

"However, Chief Inspector Hakuba agreed without any hesitation and explained it to me in detail."

"Since then, he seems to have turned into a strict master. Every time he encounters a case, he asks questions as if he were in class."

As she spoke, Sato Miwako straightened her back and imitated Bai Masong's speech in a pretentious manner.

"Sato, what do you think?"

"Sato, search me!"

"Sato, analyze the suspicion!"

Looking at Sato Miwako's imitation, Miyamoto Yumi couldn't help but laugh again.

Sato Miwako also laughed.

After laughing, Sato Miwako continued,

"At this point, our relationship should be that of both teacher and friend."

"Until the explosion at the Rice Flower Municipal Building."

At this point, Sato Miwako paused and suddenly asked,

"Yumi, do you still remember Detective Matsuda?"

"Of course I remember!"

Miyamoto Yumi said without thinking, and then reacted,

"Meiwako, you can't be......"

"Ah."

Miwako Sato knew what Yumi Miyamoto wanted to say.

"In the bombing of the Beihua Municipal Building, the bomber specifically asked a police officer to defuse the bomb, and Chief Inspector Hakuba also..."
