Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

His suggestion was unanimously approved by the three girls.

Then they started strolling around the streets.

Within minutes, Shimabukuro Kimie became familiar with Ran and Sonoko, their close relationship resembling that of childhood friends, much to the amazement of Shiraishi Osamu, who was following behind them.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Ran and Sonoko have always been two pretty good girls with many good qualities, and they are also very kind.

It seems that women would have a great deal of affection for both of them, and very few women would actively dislike them.

Even though it was the first time Shimabukuro Kimie had met them, they had now become inseparable best friends. It just goes to show that the friendship between women can sometimes be even more outrageous than that between men, completely leaving no trace.

Shiraishi Osamu followed silently behind, unable to get a word in edgewise, and could only shake his head helplessly.

However, listening to them talk is also a pleasure; their melodious and lively voices bombard my ears from time to time, making me feel like my ears are pregnant.

Chapter 0039: Harmonious Coexistence

Inside an offal barbecue restaurant.

Osamu Shiraishi finished his whiskey soda in one gulp and called out to the waiter, "Another whiskey soda, please."

"Okay," the waitress replied sweetly.

Shiraishi Osamu was bored. He watched the three girls chat and then watched Ran fiddling with the teppanyaki in front of him. In the end, he could only silently play with the empty cup in his hand.

Xiaolan placed the vegetables and meat slices on the table one by one, looked at Shiraishi Xiu across from her, and asked, "Xiu, why aren't you saying anything?"

Shiraishi Osamu is very tired.

After I've been invisible for half a day, finally someone has remembered me.

He remembered that as soon as he arrived, the three girls started chattering non-stop, and he could only watch silently, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Xiaolan looked at Baishi Xiu, who was still silent, and asked uncertainly, "Are you still angry with me for what happened? If so, I apologize. I'm really sorry. I didn't react at all."

After saying that, she even acted cute, putting on a pitiful look.

"I……"

Shiraishi Osamu had barely uttered a single word when he was interrupted by the waitress's voice:

"Sorry for the wait, here's your whiskey soda, please enjoy."

"Uh... thank you."

Shiraishi Osamu took the cup and handed over another empty cup.

This interruption completely ruined what he was going to say, leaving him with nothing but a helpless sip of his whiskey soda and a wry smile on his face.

Xiao Lan burst out laughing.

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head helplessly: "I wanted to say something, but I've forgotten most of it now."

Xiaolan laughed and said, "Then let's continue our previous topic. Xiu, why aren't you saying anything?"

Shiraishi Xiu said irritably, "You have the nerve to ask me? I thought I was invisible. Now you finally know there's someone around, huh?"

Sonoko interjected, "Shu, we feel safe with you around, so we can chat without worry. It's not that we're deliberately ignoring you."

"Thank you so much..."

Shiraishi Osamu didn't believe such nonsense.

You probably have countless bodyguards protecting you in the shadows, so you don't need his sense of security at all.

Shimabukuro Kimie picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it into Shiraishi Osamu's bowl, comforting him, "You eat more meat, and we'll eat vegetables. Consider it a treat for you."

“2>>

Shiraishi rolled his eyes.

There are three girls here, and to maintain his standing in their eyes, he'll definitely be the one paying for the meal, so it's no problem for him to eat more meat.

time flies.

The meal didn't end until 7 p.m.

When Shiraishi Osamu paid the bill, he spent 16000 yen. He also used a rebate coupon, which gave him a fivefold return, bringing his assets to 82000 yen. He still had seven rebate coupons left.

The four of them walked back.

It was already dark, but they were in a particularly happy mood.

"I'm so happy today!" Sonoko said, jumping up and down with her hands behind her back.

"Yes, I met some new friends today," Ran said with a gentle smile to Kimie Shimabukuro.

Shimabukuro Kimie said shyly, "I shouldn't say that. I should be happy to have met the two of you."

Bai Shi Xiudao asked, "Shall we set off tomorrow?"

Sonoko laughed and said, "Yes, we're meeting downstairs at your house this morning, and my sister is coming too, so it'll just be the few of us together. And when we get there, there's one more person coming, right, Ran?"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Xiaolan, his expression very sarcastic.

Ran blushed and hurriedly said, "No, Shinichi is coming with his family."

Shiraishi Osamu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that Shinichi Kudo would be there tomorrow. However, he also wanted to meet him, since Shinichi was the protagonist of this world.

Shimabukuro Kimie asked curiously, "Ran, is this person you're talking about your boyfriend?"

"No, no, we're just childhood sweethearts." Xiaolan explained even more diligently, her face turning even redder.

Sonoko chuckled mischievously, "I think those two are quite interesting. You'll understand once you get to know them."

Mouri Detective Agency.

The second floor.

Kogoro Mori looked out the window at Ran and the others as they parted ways downstairs, then quickly pulled his head back in, pretending to be nonchalant.

A short while later...

With a "click," the door to the room on the second floor opened, and Xiaolan's voice came through with her figure:

"I am back."

Welcome home.

Kogoro Mouri said something, put his crossed legs down, and asked casually:

"I just saw you coming back together with that kid from the third floor across the street. You two know each other?"

"Hmm, are they friends?"

Xiaolan put her bag away, went to the kitchen, put on an apron, opened the refrigerator, and said in surprise:

"Dad, didn't you eat the leftover kawa rice and sashimi from lunch?"

"Hmph! I'm waiting for you to come back and cook dinner."

"What? You can just heat it up yourself and eat it."

Xiaolan turned around and glared at her father with dissatisfaction, but she still took out the dishes and started preparing dinner for him again.

"Wow! Dad, why did you buy such high-end sashimi?"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing his daughter's surprised voice, Kogoro Mouri immediately revealed a smug expression and laughed arrogantly:

"Your dad completed a big project today and got a good reward, so I'm going to treat myself."

"Hmm... that's too cunning. Dad, you're eating all by yourself. I'm already full and can't eat anymore."

"I was waiting for you to come home, but you ate out. You deserve it. But I can save you two pieces so you can eat them tomorrow."

"What? Only two pieces? I'm not a cat."

Xiaolan was cooking while complaining about her father.

Kogoro Mouri turned on the television, glanced at the third floor across the street, and said casually:

"Be careful when making friends; you can't befriend people with impure motives."

"Dad, are you talking about Xiu? I don't think he's that kind of person. He's a good guy."

"Hehe, they're calling each other so intimately. What's that kid's name?"

"Shiraishi Osamu".

Kogoro Mouri memorized the name. His gaze was immediately drawn to Yoko Okino's program on TV, and he completely forgot about everything that had just happened.

Chapter 0040: Departure to the Ski Resort

The next day.

The bedroom curtains were illuminated by sunlight, and the room gradually brightened up.

There were more sounds on the street: the sounds of pedestrians, vehicles, insects, and birds.

Shiraishi Osamu wanted to close his eyes and continue sleeping, but his body's instincts told him that he could get up, which made all his sleepiness disappear.

In this helpless situation, he could only open his dark eyes.

Good morning, world.

He greeted himself and sat up in bed. He got up, went to the window, and pulled back the curtains, just in time to see that the curtains on the opposite side were also open.

Xiaolan appeared at the window, yawning and stretching.

She saw Shiraishi Osamu across from her, smiled and waved, mouthing "Good morning".

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and mouthed "Good morning" in return.

He thought of the woman in the other room of the house, wondering how she was sleeping or whether she was familiar with the place.

However, he remembered that it was quite noisy last night.

First, there were all sorts of noises coming from the bathroom, then the sound of washing clothes. Anyway, he lay in bed yesterday, listening quietly to the noises for three hours before it finally quieted down.

Women are indeed troublesome.
