Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 173 Chou Si Lang
After paying homage, the four of them left together.

"We're still at that izakaya. Come and sit down after you finish work!" Shenniao Chouzi shouted to Officer Sato with a smile.

An He looked at their backs, hesitating whether to do anything.

If I remember correctly, this case seemed to be an important turning point in the warming of the relationship between Sato and Takagi.

Let’s give them some opportunities to perform.

Officer Shiratori suddenly received a call.

"Ah, Inspector Megure."

"What? Now" he looked around, "We are now in Haido-cho 4-chome."

"Has anyone spotted a suspicious target who may be the arsonist?!"

"Yes, I'll be there right away!"

"Takagi!" He hung up the phone, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" Officer Takagi responded immediately and began to check the things on his body.

"Police manual, pistol, handcuffs, etc. My handcuffs are on the desk in Class 1!"

"There's no time for you to go back and get it." Officer Shiratori frowned.

"That's fine, I have Officer Shiratori to protect me anyway." Takagi smiled shyly.

Officer Sato thought for a moment, took something out of his pocket, and called him.

"Take this."

It was a rusty handcuff.

Officer Takagi looked at her in confusion.

"This is my father's relic. I usually carry it with me as a talisman. You can use it first and then return it to me."

He immediately returned the handcuffs to her as if he had been electrocuted: "No, no!"

"Hold them!" Sato stared at him seriously. "If the prisoner escapes because you don't have handcuffs, I'll hold you accountable!"

Officer Takagi then took the handcuffs with trepidation and carefully put them into his inner pocket.

"Safe travels."

Officer Sato watched Officer Shiratori and Officer Takagi get into the car, and then heard Miyano Shiho's voice behind him.

"Do I need to bring a pistol when I go to arrest an arsonist? And as I recall, arson is not something that falls under the jurisdiction of the Investigation Division, right?"

Officer Sato's expression turned serious.

"Because in the fourth arson case, a stabbed body was found near the scene."

"Although there is no definite evidence, it is very likely that the deceased was killed because he witnessed the arson and tried to stop it."

She instructed the children: "So you must never leave my sight."

"Yeah!" The three little ones nodded repeatedly.

Anhe gently squeezed Miyano Shiho's hand, signaling her not to worry.

He will be watching from the side to prevent any accidents.

Miyano Shiho was not worried about this at first, but after guessing what he was thinking, she couldn't help but have a new understanding of Awa-kun's thoughtfulness and enthusiasm.

Weirdly cute.

She scratched An He's palm.

After Officer Sato finished paying homage to his father, everyone returned to the place where Ayumi had mentioned seeing the suspicious person, hoping to see if there were any new clues.

"It's right here." Ayumi pointed to the alley next to the convenience store. "I was next to the Kamen Rider Gachapon machine when I saw a strange uncle walk out of it."

"Hmm." Officer Sato took out a pen and started writing in the police manual.

A soft and pleasant bell suddenly rang.

She put away her police handbook and answered the phone.

"Hey, Takagi? How's the suspicious person?"

"What?!" She didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, and her expression changed instantly.

"Do you know who the murderer was eighteen years ago?!"

"Among the four people I met before?!"

“Who is the murderer?”

"Hello, hello?"

beep—

With a muffled sound from the other end of the phone, the call was suddenly hung up.

"Takagi?"

"What happened?" Ayumi asked cautiously.

Conan looked a little serious and shook his head.

Officer Sato had no intention of continuing to investigate the fire and immediately called back, but only got a busy tone.

She reacted quickly and called Officer Shiratori immediately.

"Shiratori, is Takagi with you?"

"Yeah, we were together four or five minutes ago." Shiratori was a little confused by her question.

"Then quickly tell the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters where and when he was last seen!" Officer Sato said decisively, "Takagi was attacked! Just when I was on the phone just now!"

"The other party is very likely the arsonist, you have to be careful!"

As she was talking, Mitsuhiko reminded her, "But didn't Officer Takagi tell you that the murderer was attacked 18 years ago?"

"The statute of limitations for that case expired three years ago, and what he knows may not be the correct truth." Officer Sato tried to remain calm.

Conan stopped her and asked, "Where is the izakaya that the four people we met before said they were going to?"

"That shop is called Nanakuma, and it's in the liquor street in front of Shinagawa Station."

An He pushed the progress: "Have you asked Officer Shiratori where they are going?"

Sato was stunned for a moment, then picked up his phone.

After a while, her face turned livid.

"In the phone call, Officer Takagi mentioned something that happened 18 years ago, and said, 'The murderer is among them.'" Conan's glasses reflected a white light, "If that person was nearby at the time, he would have heard this..."

"I'm going to Shinagawa Station." Officer Sato immediately took action. "Let Mr. Anhe and the others take you back first, and then come to the main office tomorrow."

"We can help too!" the three little ones shouted immediately.

"The person who attacked Officer Takagi could also be the arsonist, right?" Ayumi's eyes were firm, and then she looked at Miyano Shiho quietly with pleading eyes.

Miyano Shiho received the signal and immediately said, "As the only witness who has seen the arsonist, it would be helpful to bring Ayumi along."

Mitsuhiko and Genta knew how to seize the opportunity and echoed, "Me too, we won't cause any trouble!"

"Really?" Officer Sato said in defeat.

Finally everyone squeezed into the car.

Genta sat in the passenger seat, and the others were in the back seat. Conan and Ayumi sat on Anhe and Miyano Shiho's laps respectively.

"The Metropolitan Police Department is calling all police stations and security personnel in Shinagawa!" Inspector Megure's voice came from the intercom inside the police car.

"The location is near Shinagawa Station! The details are unknown at the moment, but if you find a police officer who has been beaten and injured, please report it to this office immediately!"

"Repeat that."

Sato's hands gripping the steering wheel slightly tightened, his eyes fixed on the red light not far away, feeling the light gradually turning deep red, even with a bloody connotation.

impossible
The person who killed my father was among those four people.
"Ms. Sato?"

She started suddenly and looked back at the back seat.

Miyano Shiho held Ayumi in her arms, pointed at her face and neck calmly, and reminded her: "You are sweating a lot."
