Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

the next day.

In a daze, Shiraishi Osamu heard someone calling him from outside the window—

"build!!!"

"Get up!!!"

"Xiu! Are you awake yet?!"

Not only were voices shouting, but even cell phone numbers were being dialed, ringing incessantly.

"Well……"

Shiraishi Xiu reached out and groped around the bedside, finally finding his phone under the pillow. He answered weakly, "Who is it?"

"Xiu, get up quickly!" came the voice of a girl, very lively, and you could feel her quirky and mischievous nature just from her voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Shiraishi Osamu knew who it was, opened his eyes, and said helplessly, "Sonoko, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Haha!" Sonoko laughed first, then continued, "Because Ran has a competition soon, I'm going to spend some quality time with her. I'm also going to my house later; I have a gift for her."

As Shiraishi Xiu listened to the lively voice, he felt a throbbing pain in his head.

Ran is easier to deal with, but as for Sonoko, he really needs to come up with a good plan.

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around, I'm getting up."

"Then hurry up, Xiaolan and I are waiting for you downstairs."

"rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Shiraishi Osamu really wanted to close his eyes and doze off again, but when he thought about what he had just said, he resisted his sleepiness and slowly got up to start tidying up his personal hygiene.

To his surprise...

Junhui wasn't home early this morning.

However, he found a note on the freezer that read—

[Xiu, the barbecue restaurant next door downstairs is short on ingredients, so as the assistant manager, I have to go and help them get more. So you'll have to eat out this morning!]

"This is really..."

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head helplessly, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of milk and a piece of bread, and went out.

As the assistant store manager, he clearly didn't need to be this busy, yet he was so dedicated and responsible that he really didn't know what to say.

When he came downstairs.

Then I saw two girls waiting downstairs.

Ran and Sonoko smiled together when they saw Shiraishi Osamu.

Sonoko smiled and said, "Shu, I've noticed you've become increasingly lazy lately. I heard you haven't even been to the Metropolitan Police Department. It feels like a disservice to your identity as a police officer!"

Bai Shixiu said, "My identity was given to me by someone else; I was just there to collect a salary. Besides, I didn't graduate from a professional school, so I don't really understand many things. It would have been better if I hadn't gone, otherwise I would have just made things worse."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Alright, let's go."

"Are you walking or taking a car?"

Shiraishi Osamu looked at his vehicles—well, an electric scooter and a campervan.

Sonoko laughed and said, "It's no problem. My home isn't far away anyway, I can walk there."

Shiraishi Xiu asked curiously, "If that's the case, you could have just called us and we would have come over. Why did you come all the way here again?"

Sonoko said, "Of course it's more fun to come together, anyway, it's not a very far road."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head.

They also don't understand girls' feelings.

If it were him, he would just stay at home and wait for his good friend to come over; there's no need to make such a fuss.

Xiaolan glanced at the stairwell and asked curiously, "Where's Sister Junhui?"

Bai Shixiu said, "She went out early this morning. She's the assistant manager of a barbecue restaurant now, and she's quite busy. By the way, it's the B-grade Wenzi Barbecue Restaurant next door."

"We already knew!!" x2

Ran and Sonoko shouted it out together, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Shiraishi Osamu touched his nose, shrugged at the two girls, and gestured.

Ran and Sonoko walked hand in hand forward, with Osamu Shiraishi following silently.

The morning breeze is warm, with a cotton-like feel, and it feels very comfortable when it blows against your face.

Everything around seemed vibrant and full of life—flowers, trees, insects chirping, birds singing—everything exuded a sense of thriving vitality.

Sonoko turned to look at Shiraishi Osamu beside her and asked, "Should we go shopping first, or go straight to my house?"

Xiaolan said, "Actually, I'm fine with anything. Anyway, I don't have anything to do today, and Dad isn't home."

"I'm fine too."

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head.

He originally wanted to visit Miwako Sato, but he figured she was probably at work. She's a woman who can't sit still, and with a two-month-old baby, it probably wouldn't bother her at all.

Osamu Shiraishi was having a bit of a headache. He didn't know who his future baby would resemble. If the baby had the mother's personality, that would be a bit of a problem.

“Then I’ve decided…” Sonoko said loudly, drawing out the sound, and then waved her hand, “If that’s the case, let’s go shopping first, and then go to my house, so there won’t be any conflict.”

The words had barely left his lips.

The phone in her bag started ringing.

"Who's calling?" Sonoko took out her phone and saw it was her older sister. She immediately answered, "Sis, what's up? I'm still out here."

"Sonoko, your classmate is here. You should come back."

"My classmate? Who is that!"

Sonoko looked to the side and saw that her best friend, Ran, was with her. Who else would have nothing better to do than come to her house after eating their fill?

Ayako Suzuki's soft, gentle voice came through the phone again: "It's one of your male classmates! By the way, he seems to be Kudo, who's been making headlines in the newspapers lately."

Stand U"

Break one.

"Ah 0IIII"

Sonoko's voice rose several decibels as she shouted incredulously, "What's that guy doing in our house? We're not that close!"

"Okay, why are you shouting so loudly! Remember to come back." Ayako Suzuki hung up the phone after saying that.

"Hey! Sis!" Sonoko shouted into the phone, but no one answered her anymore; all she heard was the busy tone of the call being disconnected.

Sonoko looked at Ran and Shiraishi Osamu, hesitated for a moment, and then said uncertainly:

"How about we go home first, then go shopping?"

Shiraishi Xiu looked at Xiaolan, and Xiaolan also looked at Shiraishi Xiu. They exchanged a brief glance, and everything was understood without words.

Chapter 0104: Young people lack martial ethics

The three of them were walking on the road.

As Sonoko walked, she complained, "That Kudo guy! Why did he have to come to my house for no reason! I was planning to go shopping, but he's really awful."

Ran reassured him, "Shinichi must have something to do at your house, so it would be better to go and check on him."

Sonoko teased, "What? Has he been neglecting you lately because he's been busy solving cases? Do you want to see him?"

Ran's eyes widened in panic. She glanced furtively at Shiraishi Osamu and quickly explained, "Sonoko, don't talk nonsense! Shinichi and I have nothing to do with each other. We're just childhood friends who grew up together."

"oh?……"

The garden started with an indifferent sound, and it dragged on for a long time.

But she became wary.

She could already sense that something was wrong with Ran. Ran used to be very different when she mentioned Shinichi Kudo, but now she was acting strangely.

She also secretly glanced at Shiraishi Xiu. It seemed that Xiaolan had been changing ever since Shiraishi Xiu met them.

With a smile on her face, Sonoko looked at Shiraishi Shuu and said, "Shuu, you don't seem to have solved any cases in the last few months."

Shiraishi Xiudao said, "There's nothing I can do. The Metropolitan Police Department and detectives use two different methods to solve cases. There's no need for me to solve cases."

Sonoko asked curiously, "Is there anything different?"

Xiaolan said weakly, "My dad used to be a policeman. I remember he had to investigate a lot of things. He couldn't just convict someone based on what he said."

Shiraishi Xiu nodded and said, "Indeed, just like Xiaolan said, there are a lot of things to prepare. And every aspect has to be taken into account, otherwise the other party will hire a lawyer, so it's quite a troublesome matter."

Sonoko asked curiously, "Then why don't you use detective methods to solve cases?"

"Well...it's hard to say..."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head mysteriously.

In his mind, he was furious. In a normal murder case, the killer would have already fled far away. Unlike other cases, there was no need for someone to pretend to be a discoverer at the scene.

So in the cases he's recently taken on, there hasn't been a single suspicious person at the scene.

In cases like those involving Shinichi Kudo, there are always large groups of people at the scene, making it almost unbelievable that he could catch the culprit. No wonder he has the makings of a protagonist; the methods and treatment he receives are completely different.

If the cases he's encountered in the last few months involve a large group of people, he believes he can find the culprit in a short time without needing to investigate anything complicated.

pity……

In those three months, he didn't encounter a single problem, so during those three months, he was only working sporadically.

And at this time—

Screams echoed from the surrounding roads—

"Someone come quick and catch him! There's a robbery going on!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, all of you!"

As soon as Shiraishi and the others turned around, they saw a man carrying a bag, shouting wildly at the passersby, and rushing towards them.

The surrounding passersby also changed their expressions and involuntarily retreated to both sides.
