I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Yuantai:?

Genta shook his head, then said seriously.

"How can we do that? If we call Ms. Kobayashi over, wouldn't that be..."

However, before Genta could finish speaking, Mitsuhiko nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"I think Ai makes a lot of sense."

"This is a good opportunity to let Mr. Kobayashi see our Junior Detective Club's team-building abilities!"

Yuantai:?

Mitsuhiko, you little rascal, you've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty girl?

Yuan Tai's face darkened.

You're so disloyal!

"Excuse me... officer, who are you...?"

Sumiko Kobayashi looked up at Shiratori Ninzaburo in front of her.

Her eyes were full of confusion.

Why do the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers look at her as if they've seen a ghost?

Because she was going to participate in the fireworks display today, she specially changed her clothes. Does she still look like an elementary school homeroom teacher? Does she have a class vibe?

"My name is Shiratori Ninzaburo, an inspector with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Ms. Kobayashi, have we met before?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo, recalling the dating advice that Inspector Chiba had shared with him, immediately spoke frankly.

"Do you remember? It was when we were in elementary school at the bookstore..."

Kobayashi Sumiko:?

Elementary school? That's so long ago, who would remember?

This is just a simple flirting technique, right?

He would randomly throw out a distant date and then claim that he had met her in the past, in an attempt to build a closer relationship.

It feels like an outdated pickup line technique.

Kobayashi Sumiko's eyes became slightly wary.

However, Shiratori Ninzaburo was unaware of this.

He went on to say that.

"There were two high school students stealing books from the bookstore at the time."

"The people in the other bookstores saw it but pretended not to see it, only you stood up and stopped them."

"But they weren't going to stop there. They even pushed you to the ground. I stepped in and scared them away. Then, as I was about to leave, you chased after me."

"And I folded a string of paper cherry blossoms out of a straw."

“You told me back then that cherry blossoms are a symbol of courage and represent the flower of justice.”

"I remember it vividly..."

Kobayashi Sumiko:?

Is that true?

Sumiko Kobayashi blinked.

Why does she have absolutely no recollection of this?

Then, peeking out slightly, she saw the cherry blossom wreath in Ayumi's hand.

Kobayashi Sumiko:?

Ah, I understand!

Ayumi must have just repeated the meaning of cherry blossoms to this frivolous police officer...

That's why this frivolous male police officer said such a thing!

Sumiko Kobayashi silently took half a step back.

Shiratori Ninzaburo: ?

Why is it like this?

This is different from what Officer Chiba told him!

That's what it says in the Gala game!

As a professional police officer, Shiratori Ninzaburo could immediately sense Kobayashi Sumiko's emotional change, and felt as if struck by lightning, leaving him speechless for a moment.

It's obvious that he pursued the wrong person completely.

The girl standing before him, Kobayashi Sumiko, was the same little girl he had met in elementary school.

However, because so much time has passed, Kobayashi Sumiko seems to have completely forgotten what happened back then...

Do we need to trigger some special CG to make Kobayashi Sumiko recall what happened back then?

How do I do this? Officer Chiba didn't say anything about it.

Did such a situation occur between him and Miike Naoko?

"Wow, it seems Officer Shiratori is disliked."

Ayumi said with some concern.

Ai Haibara, who was happily watching the gossip nearby, also sighed and put her hand to her forehead.

She figured it out.

The Shiratori Ninzaburo problem is about choosing a detour when one should be aggressive, and choosing aggressiveness when one should be detour.

If only he had asked Miwako Sato about his elementary school days earlier when he was at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Then we wouldn't have wasted so much time on Miwako Sato.

If he had used a different excuse to approach Sumiko Kobayashi.

Perhaps the gentle-natured Sumiko Kobayashi wouldn't feel disgusted by his presence.

However, it's not entirely without a chance...

Because Ai Haibara remembers that Sumiko Kobayashi really liked the police profession.

Shiratori Ninzaburo is not only the son of a large corporation, but also handsome, rich, and a professional police officer. He fits Kobayashi Sumiko's view on love in every way. It seems that as she slowly builds up her affection for him, there is still hope of unlocking his personal side story.

"...Anyway, I'll take the children back first."

Kobayashi Sumiko said somewhat reluctantly.

Then his gaze fell on Chen En inside, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Mr. Chen En, could you please drive us back?"

Chen En: ?

What? I'm involved too?

Chen En glanced at Shiratori Renzaburo's eyes, then beckoned Ai Haibara over and said calmly.

"Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, we have something to do."

"It's probably not on the way from here, so please let Officer Shiratori take you back."

Shiratori Ninzaburo: !

Chen En, you're such a kind person!

I'll never laugh at you for calling yourself Batman again!

Chapter 789 What? There are more experts tonight?

Although somewhat hesitant, Kobayashi Sumiko got into Shiratori Ninzaburo's car.

Genta and Mitsuhiko sat in the back seat.

Ayumi sat in Kobayashi Sumiko's lap, being held by Kobayashi Sumiko like a pillow.

The atmosphere inside the car became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Shiratori Ninzaburo casually glanced at the nearby road conditions.

He secretly thought to himself that he would go back and beat up Officer Chiba.

The advice this guy gave him was completely wrong.

He's supposedly a pro at Galagame.

Could it be that Officer Chiba was able to get together with Officer Miike entirely because Officer Miike liked Officer Chiba from the very beginning, since their affection level was maxed out from the start, allowing them to directly enter the individual ending?

"Cough cough..."

Shiratori Ninzaburo coughed somewhat awkwardly.

It seems they're trying to find a topic to talk about.

This startled Sumiko Kobayashi, who then tightened her grip on Ayumi.

Ayumi: ?

You selfish person!

Did you even consider how I feel? I can't breathe!

"Um, Ms. Kobayashi."

"I heard that a serial killer is currently on the run near Beito Town."
