Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Xiaolan said shyly, "I'm a little tired. I've been on a plane for a long time. And I don't know how Dad is doing at home these past few days. Maybe the house is a mess right now, and I'll have to clean it."

"All right……"

Sonoko felt it was a pity, but she didn't pursue the matter further.

After that, the three of them strolled around and chatted about what was happening in New York.

This also let Sonoko know what had happened to them outside these past few days, which made her gasp in surprise.

I don't know how much time has passed.

They finally arrived at the Maori office building.

Shiraishi Osamu waved to the two girls and then went home.

Shiraishi Osamu opened the door, changed into slippers at the entrance, and went inside. When he looked up, he saw two women chatting on the sofa.

Kimie Shimabukuro, Miwako Sato.

The two women also saw Shiraishi Xiu and subconsciously straightened their clothes.

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said, "Shu, you're back."

"Yes, I'm back."

Shiraishi Osamu nodded, went to the sofa next to them, and lay down. He immediately sank into the soft sofa and didn't want to move at all; it was just too comfortable.

Although this trip abroad wasn't very long, it felt exceptionally long to him.

What happened was quite interesting; I met some very interesting people.

With a flick of his wrist, a playing card appeared in his hand. With a slight movement of his fingers, the card moved nimbly around his fingertips, forming "three three threes" like a fish.

beside……

Miwako Sato gave Kimie Shimabukuro a wink, and after a moment's hesitation, Kimie Shimabukuro shook her head.

Reluctantly, Sato Miwako decided to take matters into her own hands. She coughed lightly and smiled, "Shu, was your trip abroad tiring?"

Shiraishi Shu flicked his hand, and the playing cards disappeared. He turned to Sato Miwako and asked strangely, "You're acting strange. What are you trying to do?"

He also glanced at the two women, though their expressions were both normal.

But in his view, this was the biggest abnormality.

This isn't usually the case, so there must be something going on here.

Sato Miwako pouted and said, "Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to check on you, since I haven't seen you for several days."

"Oh?..."

Shiraishi Xiu drew out his voice, then turned his head away and refused to look at them.

Miwako Sato's lips twitched, suppressing her anger, and she sighed, "Inspector Megure had the newspapers report what happened to you on the plane."

Shiraishi Xiu said nonchalantly, "Oh, so be it."

Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't stand it any longer and said directly, "Shu, Miwako wants to tell you something, it's urgent."

Shiraishi Xiu immediately covered his ears and shouted, "I don't want to hear it, you're just spouting nonsense."

You've successfully made a name for yourself again.

Kimie Shimabukuro: ...

Miwako Sato:……

The two women's faces immediately darkened. They knew perfectly well what "turtle" meant; it was an insult.

However, considering that they needed his help, both women held back and decided not to argue with him.

The two women exchanged a glance, then got up and went to the window, where they spoke quietly.

"Miwako, why don't we just forget about it? You can always stall for time, so let's just keep putting it off!"

“But I feel like I can’t delay any longer…” Sato Miwako looked very distressed: “I feel like my mom is serious this time, and she’s not giving me any chance at all.”

Shimabukuro Kimie glanced at the lazy Shiraishi Osamu and whispered, "But I feel like Osamu isn't any good either. He'll definitely give himself away if he tries to help you, and he might even get himself into trouble."

She didn't know why she said that.

But she always felt that if she didn't say something, she might regret it later.

So while she was helping Sato Miwako, she was also secretly sabotaging her.

Sato Miwako shook her head and said, "Although Xiu seems unreliable, he's actually quite dependable. I trust him; he can help me get through this difficult time."

"Too……"

Shimabukuro Kimie didn't know what to say. She looked up and saw the Mouri Detective Agency on the second floor across the street.

Kogoro Mouri sat in his office chair, seemingly complaining incessantly, while Ran helplessly cleaned the house, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

Seeing this, her eyes lit up, and she nudged Sato Miwako with her elbow, whispering:

"Miwako, why don't we ask Ran for help?"

"Xiao Lan..."

Sato Miwako looked at Ran across from her, and hesitated for a moment.

This method seems to actually work.

If you can't bring yourself to ask, ask a girl who can speak to help you; the chances of success might be higher that way.

finally……

Miwako Sato shook her head again:

"No, this can't be done like this. Since this is my responsibility, it wouldn't be appropriate to let someone else do it; it would seem insincere."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"I've already made up my mind."

“Then go…” Shimabukuro Kimie silently lowered her head.

"Uh-huh"

Sato Miwako nodded vigorously, and with a determined air, sat down next to Shiraishi Osamu, but then chickened out and couldn't speak.

Shiraishi Xiu sensed something strange about this woman, so he carefully moved aside and asked, "Tell me, what is it? I'll definitely help you if I can, and don't force yourself if I can't."

"I……"

"Okay, I understand. I probably can't help you with this."

Sato Miwako suddenly felt like hitting someone. Looking at that face, which was somewhat handsome, she found it incredibly hateful at this moment.

She didn't say anything, but she rejected me outright.

Did you eat what you just said?

She was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. If she hadn't wanted to ask other men for help, she would have already stormed out.

Of course.

The premise is that it's not good to ask others for help with her matter; she can only find someone she has a good relationship with.

"Have you eaten?" Shiraishi Osamu proactively changed the subject.

He didn't want to get into trouble unnecessarily, so he simply blocked the road.

"I ate!" Sato Miwako answered curtly. Whether she ate or not, she was already full of anger.

“I ate too,” Kimie Shimabukuro replied.

that's it……

The living room fell silent.

Although the atmosphere wasn't particularly heavy, there was a sense of oppression, making it impossible to feel any joy.

"Ugh……"

Shiraishi Xiu rubbed his temples helplessly, feeling that things were getting a little out of control, and how they had inexplicably turned out this way.

And the most important point.

His heart was still soft. Although he said he wouldn't help, he knew he couldn't resist being asked. If he really asked, he might agree to do something he didn't even know what it was...

The three of them looked at each other for a while, then looked at each other again.

Chapter 0073: Giving Away a Grandson

"Hey, let's go shopping!"

Unable to stand the atmosphere, Shiraishi Osamu started looking for trouble.

There's nothing that a shopping trip can't solve; if there is, then go shopping again.

Shimabukuro Kimie rolled her eyes in annoyance: "We're not in the mood for shopping right now. You're not going to help, and you're making sarcastic remarks instead."

"Humph……"

Sato Miwako snorted coldly and looked at Shiraishi Osamu with a resentful expression.

She had originally planned to wait here for Bai Shixiu to return today, although he did come back.

But that lazy, indifferent attitude really makes people feel helpless and angry.

She initially thought this matter wouldn't be difficult, but now that she sees it, it's comparable to her mother's situation—both are incredibly challenging.

Sato Miwako said, a little annoyed, "There are some people who are great when others help them, but when you ask them for help, they won't do anything. Humph."

"Who are you talking about?" Shiraishi Xiu immediately started playing dumb, pretending not to know the answer.

Sato Miwako revealed a rare deadpan expression and said indifferently, "Useless at everything, but number one at playing dumb."

Ok……

Shiraishi Xiu sighed and asked, "Speak, what is it? Let me see if I can help."

Sato Miwako's face lit up with joy, then she pouted and said aggrievedly, "It's all because of my mom!"
