On the other side, just as Ran and her group were hitching a ride in a new doctor's car to the Shu Du Building.
Sato Miwako, who had been waiting at the Shu Du Building for ten minutes, looked at her watches, feeling a bit impatient.
Sato Miwako, who was originally a little unhappy about being forced by her mother to come, directly passed judgment on the blind date partner they hadn't met yet.
"Just wait a little longer, it's only ten minutes late..." Sato's mom said with a headache as she watched her daughter prepare to leave.
"Humph! He can't even keep the agreed-upon time; can you expect such a man to keep bigger promises?" Sato coldly snorted, propping up the table, preparing to leave.
And just at that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over and greeted the two.
"Very sorry... you two have been waiting for a long time..." The middle-aged man smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "I am Isokichi Kamoi, and I hope we can get to know each other slowly in the future..."
At the moment when she saw the other person, Sato Miwako panicked and said, "Is this the 'good judgment' you were talking about? My blind date partner is a middle-aged man!?"
"It's not like that!" Sato's mom pulled Sato Miwako, signaling her to sit down. "That's the butler!"
"Sorry, although it should have been my master and madam who came in person, due to some sudden matters, they have already gone abroad, so I came with the young master..."
"Huh? Young master?"
Hearing the other person's words, Sato Miwako asked in confusion. But as the person at the door opened the sliding door of the restaurant, the figure revealed in front of Sato Miwako was shocking.
"Detective Shiratori!?"
"Sorry for the inconvenience. I was caught up in deciding which flowers suit Sato the best, so I got a bit delayed..."
Holding a bouquet of flowers, Shiratori smiled and said, "But calling you Sato today might be a bit inappropriate; calling you Miss Miwako is better~"
"Shiratori, why is it you!?" Sato Miwako looked at her own mother and Shiratori greeting each other familiarly, with an expression of disbelief.
"What are you saying? This is the partner you chose yourself, right?" Sato's mom looked at her daughter and smiled, "Truly my daughter, choosing a detective as her blind date partner~"
"This is truly my honor~" After taking his seat, Shiratori looked at his hands, propped his chin, and confidently smiled, "Choosing me from such a thick stack of documents..."
"No, no, no!!" Sato Miwako waved her hands repeatedly at the words, "That was just a coincidence! I didn't look at it at all! I randomly picked it!!"
Sato's mom, standing aside, heard her daughter say this and secretly pinched her daughter with a smile. She quickly smiled to defuse the situation, "Oh dear~ This is really rare. I didn't expect my assertive daughter to be shy~"
"Or should I say, this makes me even happier..." Shiratori, with his hands crossed on the table, smiled a bit devilishly, "It's the guidance of fate, the guidance of destiny~"
"Yes, yes! That's really well said. It's truly the arrangement of fate~"
"Young Master's words are truly wonderful~"
Facing the praise from her own mother and the butler, Sato Miwako drooped her dead fish eyes and silently complained to herself, "I don't know about fate, but randomly picking words like this doesn't seem like a good fate..."
"By the way, who is the messenger Yumi said she sent to save me..." Sato Miwako lamented in her heart, "Come and save me quickly!"
...
"Achoo!!"
On a bustling street, Takagi suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?" Senichi, beside him, saw Takagi and expressed his concern, "I've seen you sneezing since I met you earlier."
"It's nothing, really... I don't feel like I have a cold or anything..." Takagi rubbed his nose, and suddenly his phone rang.
"Hey, Takagi? Did you see the text message I sent you?" Yumi's words on the other end of the phone left Takagi looking bewildered, "Text message? What is it?"
Before Yumi could say anything else, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
"Robbery!"
"Someone is robbing the convenience store!! Help catch the criminals!!"
A sudden robbery incident happened right in front of them,
Takagi couldn't care less about answering Yumi's call, directly threw his phone into the police car, and, together with Senichi, immediately chased after Robber.
But unfortunately, this is the bustling city center, and even Senichi, with all his capabilities, can't navigate through the densely packed crowd. He could only watch as the man with a motorcycle helmet ran into a nearby alley.
By the time the two pushed through the crowded people and reached the alley, the figure of the criminal was nowhere to be seen. Instead, at the other end of the alley, they saw an old man lying on the ground, clutching his waist in pain.
"Are you okay, sir?" Both Senichi and Takagi extended their hands to help the old man up, asking, "Have you seen a man with a motorcycle helmet running through this alley?"
"I saw him. I was knocked down by that guy..." The old man, still holding his waist in pain, pointed not far away to a public restroom, saying, "I saw him run into that restroom over there..."
Approaching the restroom, the two quickly found the disguise tools thrown at the entrance. The coat, helmet, gloves, and the bag used to carry the stolen money, all casually tossed into the bushes at the restroom entrance.
Seeing the extent of the culprit's panic, who even didn't have time to hide things properly, combined with the testimony of the knocked-down old man, it was pretty much confirmed that the person had taken refuge in the restroom.
"Hey! Listen in there, we're detectives! You can't escape, come out now!"
After Takagi's shout, there was a moment of silence, and then three individuals walked out from the individual restrooms for men and women.
"Detectives?"
"Come on... this is a restroom..."
"What's going on? Can't we even use the restroom peacefully?" The only woman among the three was speechless.
Seeing the three emerging from the restroom, Senichi couldn't help but smile wryly.
Sure enough, it was another classic 1 from 3-choice scenario.
Afterward, Senichi and Takagi roughly explained the situation to the three and brought them to the police car to start questioning each person.
First was the only woman among the three, named Eiko Koshimizu, 28 years old, with shoulder-length blond hair.
As for the other two men, one with glasses and a center-parted hairstyle was named Yasuo Kamieda, 32 years old.
The other, younger with short hair and an earring, the one displaying a face of utter disbelief at being called out for a detective case in the restroom, was named Hiroshi Zama.
Although the three suspects were found, there were some unexpected issues from the eyewitness.
The old man who was knocked down, with blurry vision due to his reading glasses being knocked off, could barely make out the culprit's appearance. He only remembered that the person was a taller woman wearing a green outfit under the coat.
However, this testimony was evidently incorrect, as there was only one woman there, and she was wearing a black jacket.
Clearly, the information from the old man was partially wrong, and resolving this would be crucial to finding the real culprit.
