Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Sato Miwako thought for a moment, then continued:

"The ending wasn't good. People online were swayed by these posts and started blaming the restaurant. It was all a lie; they blamed the restaurant for everything. After that, business got worse and worse, and eventually, the restaurant went out of business. Then the owner hanged himself, and his wife followed him. The only one who disappeared was their daughter who was in college."

"Oh, sigh, people these days..."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head.

The world is so stressful these days that everyone inevitably harbors some resentment. They may not be able to vent it in real life, but once they find a trigger online, they can unleash it all.

At that point, they no longer cared about morality; all they needed was to vent their frustrations.

"By the way, have you identified that woman's target?"

"I've got it. Chiba has already taken his men there."

"Oh."

Shiraishi Osamu nodded, looked around, and said very quietly, "You're pregnant, didn't you tell anyone?"

"What to say? We won't say it now. We'll talk about it when my belly gets a little bigger."

"No... you can tell Inspector Megure first, and then try not to go on missions in the future."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"I don't think you know anything at all."

"Alright, stop nagging, or I'm not going home tonight."

"Then where to go?" Shiraishi Xiu asked, his eyes wide.

“My home.” Sato Miwako glared back.

Not far away...

Shiratori Ninzaburo and Takagi Wataru watched the two of them whispering intimately, and sighed in unison. They looked at each other and saw disappointment and sadness in each other's eyes.

They weren't blind; they had long suspected that the relationship between Sato Miwako and Shiraishi Osamu might be inappropriate, but they had been pretending not to know until now.

Chapter 0120: Miwako's Offensive

night.

Fifth-chome thirty-nine turn over the ground number four.

Grade B BBQ restaurant.

As soon as Shiraishi Osamu and Sato Miwako walked in, Manager Oyama greeted them with a smile: "Welcome! It's Mr. Shiraishi and Ms. Sato again! This way, this way, please."

Osamu Shiraishi and Miwako Sato nodded and followed Manager Oyama to a clean, empty table where they sat down.

Store manager Dashan glanced at Shiraishi Xiu secretly, but Shiraishi Xiu completely ignored him, pretending not to see anything.

Store manager Dashan smiled helplessly and could only ask, "What would you two like to eat?"

Miwako Sato smiled, said nothing, and looked at Osamu Shiraishi.

Osamu Shiraishi glanced at the menu written on the wall next to him: "Teppanyaki platter and cold tofu, sardine salad and okonomiyaki, natto monji-yaki, and stir-fried noodles with extra vegetables."

Store manager Dashan hesitated before asking, "Won't this be too much?"

Shiraishi Osamu looked at Sato Miwako and laughed, "You have to feed two people with one mouth, so you need to eat more."

“There are still two people, and the child is still young.” Sato Miwa looked disgusted, but her eyes were quite gentle.

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll eat all the food."

Store manager Dashan, being a parent himself, immediately understood what this meant. Feeling happy for his boss, he continued, "Um, what would you like to drink?"

Shiraishi Xiudao: "Beer."

Sato Miwako said, "I'd like oolong tea."

"Then I'll have oolong tea too," Shiraishi Xiu immediately changed his mind.

Sato Miwako chuckled and said, "No, you don't have to make do with me."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and said, "It's alright, what can I do? I'm going to be a dad."

He was grinning from ear to ear, as if he wanted the whole world to know he was about to have a child.

He's only now acting like a man preparing to become a father. There aren't any familiar faces around, and he's not hiding anything like he usually does.

"You look like a jerk?" Miwako Sato rolled her eyes.

"Alright, two cups of oolong tea then." After saying that, Manager Dashan smiled and went to prepare them.

Shiraishi Osamu looked around.

As usual, Kimie Shimabukuro usually goes home in the evening and doesn't help out here at all.

This was a special instruction he gave, so that he would always miss her off-get off work time and avoid any trouble.

As for Sato Miwako bringing up her pregnancy last night, that's not a big problem; she can still manage to stay calm.

Sato Miwako picked up a pair of chopsticks, casually toying with them, and asked, "Who would be a good choice for the officiant?"

"Uh……"

Shiraishi Osamu's expression froze instantly, but he knew he couldn't remain silent at this point, or it would cause serious problems. After thinking for a moment, he decided to speak:

"We'll choose Inspector Megure and... uh... I can't think of the last one. Inspector Megure happens to be our superior, so he can be counted as one."

"That's true..."

Sato Miwako nodded. She also thought Inspector Megure was good, but there was no rush to choose the remaining one at this time, since there were still several months until the wedding.

Shiraishi Osamu then thought of a woman in his family. He first put on a calm face, and then casually said:

"I always feel bad about not bringing Junhui along. How about we buy a Baumkuchen later?"

"Okay."

Sato Miwako nodded, but a glint flashed in her eyes as she secretly glanced at Shiraishi Osamu before continuing:

Do you think I look good in a wedding dress?

"Needless to say, it's bound to be great."

"But I don't want to wear it to my wedding, I'd feel too embarrassed."

"Huh? That won't do. Even if you don't want to wear it, I want to see it. Maybe my mother-in-law will want to see it too."

"We're not even married yet, you're calling me that too early. Besides, we're just the two of us talking, we can't involve my mother."

Sato Miwako's attitude was very firm; she wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Shiraishi Osamu to see how he would react.

Shiraishi Osamu patted his leg, then thought of a topic and continued:

"That's not the right way to think about it. Your aunt and uncle must have worn wedding dresses when they got married. If it were you, I think a simple wedding dress might suit you. But those voluminous, gorgeous tulle skirts are also beautiful and might suit you too. It's really hard to decide!"

"I don't know, I don't know if my mom wore a wedding dress."

"How could that be! Don't you know you were born a daughter?"

"I'm really sorry then." Sato Miwako glared at him, annoyed.

"Sorry?" Shiraishi Xiu hurriedly tried to appease the woman, worried that upsetting the baby in her womb would be bad.

Sato Miwako wasn't really angry, and she thought of Shimabukuro Kimie at home: "Oh right, how about I go buy a Baumkuchen first, and then go straight back later?"

"No need, no need, we can go after dinner. By the way, now that we're married, are we moving or staying at my place?"

"You're overthinking it. Let's get the marriage certificate first!"

"Then let's get our marriage certificate."

"I……"

Looking into Shiraishi Osamu's earnest eyes, Sato Miwako wanted to agree immediately, but then she thought of Shimabukuro Kimie at home and shook her head.

"Let's wait. I'm quite busy lately and don't have any time at all."

"really?"

Shiraishi Osamu wore a regretful expression, but inwardly he felt a little relieved. He wouldn't object to marriage if they were to actually get married, but he wouldn't be allowed to go around having affairs.

Sato Miwako nodded:

"Actually, getting married is quite easy. Once you've settled your personal matters, I can feel at ease getting married. Don't you think so?"

The last sentence seemed to have some profound meaning. Sato Miwako put on an inexplicable expression and looked at Shiraishi Osamu with a sidelong glance.

Shiraishi Xiu felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced himself to remain calm and said:

"I'm fine, and I don't remember having any personal matters."

Miwako Sato didn't say anything, she just smiled.

Osamu Shiraishi's mind raced, and he immediately thought of the woman in his home—Kimi Shimabukuro.

Just when the atmosphere became a little abnormal.

A savior has appeared...

Store manager Dashan came over with a large plate of food and placed it on their table one by one.

Shiraishi Osamu gave his shop manager a second look, impressed by his keen eye for talent.

Chapter 0121: The Celebrity Who Came to the Door

"I'm back!!" x2

Sato Miwako and Shiraishi Osamu said something together and walked directly into the hall, then suddenly froze.

"Huh?"

Shiraishi Osamu looked at the people sitting on the sofa, placed the Baumkuchen he was holding on the dining table, and sat down next to Shimabukuro Kimie.

Sato Miwako glanced around casually, then sat down at the dining table without joining in.
