Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Page 50

"Uh……"

Shiraishi Xiu opened his mouth, his tone softening: "Judging from your expression, could it be your mother..."

Miwako Sato didn't hide anything and told the whole story directly.

It's actually a very simple thing.

She's not young anymore. In her mother's eyes, she'll be thirty in a few years, and if she doesn't find a boyfriend and get married soon, it will be hard for her to find a husband.

So Sato Miwako's mother started to get anxious and arranged all sorts of blind dates for her, and even brought them home in some serious cases.

And a few days ago.

Sato Miwako's mother issued an ultimatum: if she didn't find a boyfriend soon, she would start arranging a husband for her and then get married.

As a strong, independent woman, Sato Miwako was naturally unwilling to agree, but she didn't know what to do with her mother.

Then she told a lie, saying that she actually already had a boyfriend.

Mrs. Sato was overjoyed, exclaiming that her daughter had finally seen the light. Of course, she wasn't easily fooled, so she gave her daughter a firm order: she had to bring her boyfriend home to meet everyone within the next few days.

such……

That's how Sato Miwako asked Shiraishi Osamu for help.

"So that's how it is. You were forced into marriage all along." Shiraishi Xiu was relieved; thankfully, it wasn't anything dangerous.

Sato Miwako nodded and asked expectantly, "How is it? This favor isn't too difficult, is it?"

Her voice had barely faded.

The system's voice immediately echoed in Shiraishi Xiu's mind—

"Ding!"

"System tasks have been refreshed."

"Please help Miwako Sato overcome this difficult time."

"Reward: A fine diamond ring."

Shiraishi Osamu's eyes were slightly brimming with tears!

How long has it been...?

It's been so long since the system task finally appeared again; if it hadn't, he would have thought the system was going to crash.

The only reward for the mission is a diamond ring.

This is where things get a little less than ideal. Although you can't eat it, you can exchange it for money or give it away, but it just doesn't feel quite right.

But none of that matters anymore.

Having a task is enough.

After calming himself down, Shiraishi Xiu asked, "When will we meet?"

Sato Miwako smiled: "If possible, we'll set off this afternoon, or a little later."

"Let me see..." Shiraishi Xiu glanced at his watch and said, "It's just past three o'clock, we still have plenty of time to prepare. By the way, what does your mother usually like? I'd like to buy some things and send them over."

Sato Miwako frowned and thought for a while, then blushed a little. She suddenly realized that she was often not at home and hadn't paid attention to these things.

Looking at her expression, Shiraishi Xiu asked suspiciously, "You don't even know this much?"

Sato Miwako's eyes widened, and she immediately thought of her elementary school days, shouting, "Of course I know! My mom likes to knit, clean, cook, and chat with the neighbors' wives when she has free time. That's about it..."

Shiraishi Osamu: ...

Kimie Shimabukuro: ...

The room fell silent.

It means not knowing what to say.

Osamu Shiraishi and Kimie Shimabukuro looked at Miwako Sato with strange expressions. What was she talking about? It seemed like she was just recording her daily life.

Sato Miwako blushed again and stubbornly said, "Oh right, my mom also likes to watch TV. She especially likes watching those dramas about couples, and she gets really emotional watching them."

"what……"

Shiraishi Xiu didn't know what to say, so he could only honestly reply, "It's pretty good, Auntie's hobbies are really quite unique. So, what do you think I should give her?"

Sato Miwako blurted out, "If you gave her a grandson, she would be overjoyed."

“That makes sense.” Shiraishi Osamu nodded seriously, looking at Sato Miwako with a teasing gaze.

Sato Miwako blushed.

His lips were twitching incessantly.

She felt she was furious; she couldn't believe someone would say something like that.

But then she thought about it again and realized that what she said wasn't wrong. If her mother needed anything, it would definitely be a grandson. If she could have a grandson, she would be so happy that she would jump for joy.

Osamu Shiraishi looked at Kimie Shimabukuro and said, "Kimi, why don't you just come with us?"

Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head and said softly, "Shu, it's okay. I won't be bored at home. I can watch TV. Besides, it's very impolite to bring a woman along when you go to someone else's house to meet their parents."

"All right

Shiraishi Osamu did not insist.

Afterwards, he changed into a new set of clothes at home, called the manager of his barbecue restaurant and asked him to transfer some money, and then went out to buy gifts with Sato Miwako.

Chapter 0074: System Proposal Mission

Osamu Shiraishi and Miwako Sato strolled around the streets for a long time, but in the end they didn't buy much, only some cosmetics.

However, it also takes a lot of time.

When we arrived at Miwako Sato's house, it was already six o'clock, almost seven o'clock in the evening.

"call……"

Sato Miwako took a deep breath at the door, trying to keep her expression calm, and then knocked.

"Dong dong dong..."

soon……

Footsteps came from inside the room, and with a click, the door opened, revealing a woman with wrinkles in the doorway.

She first glanced at Miwako Sato, then carefully looked at Osamu Shiraishi, before breaking into a bright smile and saying happily:

"Miwako, you're back! Okay, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you to eat."

"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."

Shiraishi Osamu said apologetically, carrying the gift in his hand and changing into slippers, and went inside together.

The room was very clean, it seemed that Mrs. Sato cleaned it often. Surprisingly, the food was already prepared.

Before Mrs. Sato could speak, Osamu Shiraishi immediately introduced himself:

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Shiraishi Osamu, and I'm Miwako's boyfriend. Actually, we've known each other since high school, but we only started dating recently." After saying that, he handed over the gift and said shyly, "Nice to meet you. I don't know what you like, but I hope you'll like it."

"Haha...good, good, good..."

Mrs. Sato happily accepted it, very satisfied with Osamu Shiraishi's performance.

She also felt that her daughter had good taste. The young man in front of her was handsome, eloquent, and exuded confidence. Perhaps he would become an extraordinary person in the future.

Sato Miwako sat silently to the side, her head bowed, her face flushed. Although she knew it was all fake, listening to Shiraishi Osamu's introduction still made her heart race.

Actually, she suddenly felt that it wouldn't be a problem to have Shiraishi Osamu as her boyfriend, since they had known each other for many years and understood each other well.

Suddenly...

Mrs. Sato became serious and said earnestly to Miwako Sato, "Miwako, go to your room first. I'll have a good talk with Shu."

Sato Miwako was taken aback. She looked up at her mother, then at Shiraishi Osamu, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and went back to her room.

The hall fell silent.

Only Osamu Shiraishi and Mrs. Sato remained.

Shiraishi Osamu, who had seemed so composed just moments before, suddenly became uneasy, unsure of what was causing the tense atmosphere.

After a long silence...

Mrs. Sato said sadly:

"As a criminal investigator, whenever there's a case, my mind is completely focused on work... Sometimes I can't even go home and neglect my family..."

Shiraishi Osamu didn't say anything, he just listened silently.

“Miwako is a detective, just like her father. Maybe in the future, you will be neglected like me, just waiting for her to come home. Maybe you will quarrel after you have children.”

Shiraishi Osamu opened his mouth, almost saying that he was faking it, but looking at the mother, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Mrs. Sato exhaled, her mood filled with melancholy, helplessness, and a touch of heartache, and continued:

"Miwako knew her own situation, but she still chose you... She must have trusted her own judgment. My daughter, my Miwako, is entrusted to you."

After speaking, Mrs. Sato bowed slightly to Osamu Shiraishi.

Shiraishi Xiu was startled and quickly lowered his head, at which point the system's voice rang in his mind—

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission."

"Reward: A fine diamond ring."

The sound had barely faded when...

The system voice then sounded again—

"Ding!"

"System tasks have been refreshed."
