Chapter 70 Policewoman
At this moment, there were not many guests in the venue.

After seeing Makino and the woman beside him, Minister Odagiri immediately came over.

"Makino, who is this?" Minister Odagiri looked at Makino meaningfully with a smile on his face.

"Ayako, this is my boss, Criminal Division Chief Toshiro Odagiri." Makino chuckled, "This is my girlfriend, Ms. Suzuki Ayako~"

After hearing the last name "Suzuki", Minister Odagiri was slightly startled and turned his head to look at Makino again.

"Hello, I often hear Makino mention you." Suzuki Ayako greeted with a smile.

Minister Odagiri nodded to Suzuki Ayako, patted Makino on the shoulder, and chuckled, "You boy, you actually found such a beautiful girlfriend without making any noise!"

The next moment, Minister Odagiri looked at Suzuki Ayako again, nodded seriously and said, "I'll leave this kid in your hands from now on, Miss Suzuki."

After saying this, Minister Odagiri said goodbye to Makino and left.

Soon after, a strange middle-aged man also came over.

After seeing Makino, the man immediately extended his hand and said with a smile: "Finally seeing you again, Inspector Makino! Thank you for attending my daughter's wedding celebration."

"Mr. Taro Shiratori, you're so polite." Makino gave a standard smile and shook hands with the other party.

"This is Ms. Suzuki Ayako, right? It's been a long time since we last met." Taro Shiratori continued.

After the standard social etiquette, Shiratori Taro said seriously: "Today's environment is not suitable for a long conversation. I will invite you to my house another day. My son is also working in the Metropolitan Police Department now. We can communicate more in the future~"

……

As time passed, more and more guests came to the venue.

Soon after, Sonoko, Conan and others also walked into the venue.

"Brother Longyi! Sister! I didn't expect you to come earlier than me~" After seeing Makino and the other person, Sonoko immediately ran over with a smile.

Conan, Kogoro Mori and others followed closely behind.

After everyone greeted each other, Maori Kogoro walked up to Makino and asked in a low voice: "Inspector Makino, how is the investigation of that case going now?"

Conan on the side also quietly put his ear over.

"Sorry, I was not involved in that case." Makino shook his head.

"What?! You don't know either?" Kogoro Mouri's first reaction was that Makino was also hiding something.

As the management officer of the Investigation Division, do I need to participate in the case to know the details of the case?
As if to answer Kogoro Mouri's doubts, Inspector Megure happened to pass by.

After seeing Makino, he greeted him with an unnatural smile, then walked away quickly as if he was running away.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan beside him widened their eyes in surprise.

It's obvious that Inspector Megure is avoiding communicating with Inspector Makino!

Is it because of that case?
But... why is this?
After Inspector Megure left, Makino chuckled and said, "You saw it too, right? That's it~"

Kogoro Mouri, Conan: "..."

After a moment's silence, Kogoro Mori saw Minister Odagiri communicating with someone not far away. He immediately adjusted his tie and walked over with a respectful look on his face.

"Uncle, why are you so serious this time? Who is that person?" Sonoko looked at Makino and asked.

"He is my boss, Criminal Chief Toshio Odagiri. He used to be the head of the First Investigation Division and Detective Mori's former boss," Makino explained.

"Former boss? No wonder! It's so rare to see Uncle Mori being so respectful~" Sonoko and Xiaolan beside her smiled at each other.

At this moment, Conan and his friends saw a strange bald middle-aged man walking straight up to Makino. "Officer Makino, I've heard the news. Congratulations! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me~" The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand. After a brief chat with Makino, he left.

After the middle-aged man left, Yuanzi looked at Makino again and asked in confusion: "Brother Long Yi, who was that uncle just now? And what did he mean by what he said just now?"

"He is Uno Tadayoshi, the counselor of the Criminal Department. You don't have to care about what he said later." Makino nodded.

After hearing what Makino said, Sonoko became even more confused.

Let’s not talk about what that meant for now...what is a counselor?
Conan and Kisaki Eri on the side looked at Makino in shock, as if they had vaguely guessed something from the conversation between the two just now.

The counselors of the Criminal Department are usually police officers of the rank of "Superintendent".

And that Counselor Uno just said to Makino "Congratulations" and "Ask me if you have any questions"...

Could it be that...Inspector Makino is going to be promoted soon?

If this is true, then Officer Makino will add another title to the title of "the youngest superintendent in history" and become the "youngest senior superintendent in history"!
……

Soon after, the bride and groom were ready.

With the host's introduction, the groom Haruzuki Kotaro and the bride Shiratori Sara walked onto the stage arm in arm.

After the two of them said a few simple words of congratulation, the celebration officially began.

All the guests raised their glasses and toasted, but the police were the only ones who did not drink.

Soon after, Officer Shiratori walked up to Makino and the others, bowed slightly and said, "On behalf of my sister, I would like to thank you all for coming~"

"Congratulations!" Everyone immediately offered their blessings.

Officer Shiratori subconsciously glanced at Makino, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

The next second, he started to introduce the man behind him: "By the way, let me introduce you. This is my attending physician, he is a psychiatrist at the Beihua Yakushino Hospital, Fudo Kyousuke."

"My name is Feng Hu, thank you for your guidance!" Feng Hu Kyosuke immediately shook hands with Makino and others and introduced them to each other.

Seeing that Officer Shiratori had been peeking at him, Makino narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, patting Shiratori on the shoulder: "I say, you seem to be even more exaggerated than Inspector Megure~"

Officer Shiratori: “…”

After hesitating for a while, Officer Shiratori sighed and whispered, "Administrator, actually..."

"It's okay, you don't have to tell me, I've basically guessed it." Makino chuckled and shook his head, glancing at Kyosuke Fuuto next to Shiratori with his peripheral vision.

Anyway, he knew roughly what Shiratori was going to say, and since the real criminal had already appeared, it didn't matter whether Shiratori said anything or not.

Now he just needs to keep an eye on this Fenghu Kyosuke. Even if he doesn't have any evidence in his hands, it will be fine as long as he can catch him in the act.

As for the evidence?

If we catch you red-handed killing someone with a gun, isn’t that the best evidence?
I believe that those hot-blooded male police officers in the First Investigation Division would grit their teeth and "carefully" interrogate Officer Sato after learning that someone was trying to kill him.

After hearing what Makino said, Officer Shiratori sighed and bowed slightly to Makino.

Seeing this, Conan's brain started working at high speed.

Could it be that... the reason why Inspector Megure and the others didn't discuss the case with Inspector Makino is because the suspect in this case is related to Inspector Makino?

If that's the case, why don't they tell Uncle Maori about it?

Could it be that among the suspects in this case, there are police officers, or even high-ranking police officers? !
That seems to make sense...
