Conan Rick's Investigator

If you rent another car, it means you need one more parking space.

Since parking spaces are very tight around here, there are only two ways to rent parking spaces here, one is short-term rental that charges by the hour, and the other is long-term rental that charges at least quarterly.

The time fee for short-term rental is too high, and there are no bugs.

The quarterly one-time charge is too high, and it is not appropriate to rent a car frequently.

If only Conan could lower the price of parking spaces in the parking lot...

But in fact, this is just a fantasy.

Taking housing prices as an example, the surge in the number of Mihua cases has not had much impact on the overall housing prices of Mihua.

Although the prices of some houses are falling steadily and are difficult to sell even if they fall to the opening price, the corresponding "high-quality houses" are also increasing their prices.

This resulted in the overall house price of Mihua not rising or falling.

Even if you want to speculate on "high-quality housing", it is impossible.

Because when there are so many haunted houses everywhere, people will realize that there is nothing scary about houses with "soul rings" superimposed on them, and gradually begin to accept them.

……

Outside the Metropolitan Police Department, Qin Zhibo called Gao Mushe.

Soon, Takagi Sheba ran out from the main entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department building and led Qin Zhibo into the interior of the Metropolitan Police Department building.

After a few hints, Takagi was successfully tricked into having lunch.

"Then let's go to a nearby restaurant..."

"No need to go to too much trouble, just use your police canteen~"

Qin Zhibo also pretended to be easy to talk to, but in fact he came with this purpose from the beginning.

The police canteen is on the basement floor of the Metropolitan Police Building.

The Japanese police cafeteria is not too gorgeously decorated and the space is not large. There is an automatic drink vending machine at the door and simple white tables and chairs inside.

But maybe it's because of the age, and the oil stains on the table can no longer be wiped off, giving people a greasy feeling.

There are various common foods that have been prepared on the cafeteria stalls, such as pork chop rice, beef rice set, udon noodles, dandan noodles, etc.

Gao Mushe got himself a beef rice set, while Qin Zhibo got pork chop rice + dandan noodles.

Carbohydrate + carbohydrate, because I am really hungry.

It was lunchtime, and the police began to take turns to come to eat.

The two of them were carrying their plates, and then they realized that there was no empty seat in the cafeteria.

Originally, we were all colleagues and could share a table.

But Takagi Wataru's popularity in the Metropolitan Police Department was really not very good. People around him just looked at him indifferently, and no one took the initiative to invite Takagi to sit over.

Some policemen even deliberately put their legs across the empty chair next to them, fearing that Takagi would take advantage of him.

Qin Zhibo: "..." It seems that letting Takagi Wata treat him to the police canteen was a mistake.

Just as the two stood in the open space at a loss, someone in the corner stood up and waved.

"Takagi! Come here!"

Takagi Wataru looked along the line of sight, his eyes suddenly flashed, as if he saw the savior, and he hurriedly ran over with the dinner plate in hand.

"I'm saved again, thank you, Yumi-san."

"Really, didn't I tell you to come to the cafeteria with Miwako from now on?"

"Huh... having dinner with Officer Sato makes me more stressed..."

At this time, the female police officer who was talking to Takagi saw Qin Zhibo behind Takagi. She was stunned for a moment, and then recognized him.

"Are you the famous detective Qin Zhibo?"

"Yes, you guessed it right."

Qin Zhibo looked at the long-haired policewoman in front of him. She and her colleagues beside her were wearing traffic police uniforms, and the name on their heads was Miyamoto Yumi.

In fact, Qin Zhibo had occasionally seen this female traffic policeman maintaining traffic order at the scene of the case before, but because they didn't have many interactions, he didn't know her personally.

Takagi explained: "Mr. Qin came to the Metropolitan Police Department to record the case. It happened to be lunch time, so we had a light meal here."

Takagi then turned to introduce Qin Zhibo, "Mr. Qin, this is Police Officer Miyamoto Yumi from the Ministry of Transportation, and this one is..."

When he was introduced to the female police officer next to Miyamoto Yumi, Takagi was stunned because he didn't recognize this person either.

Qin Zhibo had already seen the name on the head of this policewoman with double ponytails.

"H-Hello, my name is Miike Naeko. I am a traffic police officer who was recently transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I am currently working under Yumi-senpai."

"Oh, just call me Yumi~ Why is a senior not a senior~"

"It is good……"

Miike Naeko was obviously not familiar with this place, and she was a little uncomfortable with Yumi's cheerful personality, her face was a little red.

This blush makes the already childish face even more endearing.

"Hello……"

Seeing the shy appearance of his new beautiful colleague, Takagi was stunned.

However, when Miyamoto Yumi saw this, she immediately reminded her unhappily: "Takagi, you have Miwako, so stop thinking about it...be careful, I will tell Miwako, so that you can't eat and walk around!"

After receiving such a warning from Miyamoto Yumi, Takagi Wataru was immediately frightened, quickly withdrew his eyes and sat down honestly.

Everyone else also sat down again and started eating.

However, during the meal, Miyamoto Yumi, who is the topic king, began to look for topics to share with the meal.

Originally, she usually made fun of the relationship between Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, but today there was a new person, and a celebrity joining in, so she definitely couldn't miss the opportunity to gossip.

"Mr. Qin, I heard that you are an American and now you are working as a private detective in Japan alone?"

"Well, you could say that."

"Don't you feel lonely being so far away from home? Have you ever thought about finding someone to live with?"

Miyamoto Yumi asked with wide curious eyes.

Chapter 1176 Conan: "Dad..."

Takagi Wataru glanced up slightly while eating his beef set meal.

He knew that this was Yumi Miyamoto taking another opportunity to inquire about other people's emotional status.

The Transportation Department where Yumi works is about to become the "marriage agency" and "social department" of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the curious Miyamoto Yumi, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Miss Traffic Police, can I take your question as a sign of pursuing me?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three people at the table were stunned at the same time.

Takagi Wataru choked on the rice in his mouth, while Miyamoto Yumi's face quickly turned rosy.

"No way! I was just asking~"

"Why would you ask such a personal question out of the blue?"

"No, no... I just thought if you need me, I can introduce you to the female traffic police from our Traffic Department. Detectives and police officers are a good match..."

Qin Zhibo stirred the dandan noodle soup in his bowl and asked with a smile, "Does that include you?"

"Not me!"

The way Miyamoto Yumi tried to defend herself was a bit funny, completely lacking the calmness and confidence of the most powerful social worker in the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.

This scene made Miike Naeko, who was eating omelette rice next to her, lower her head and snicker, thinking to herself: Yumi-senpai was actually taken advantage of, he is indeed a famous detective...

Immediately, her expression calmed down again.

If he is a detective, he should be able to leave that matter to him...

Takagi Shigeru, seeing that Miyamoto Yumi was a little embarrassed, took the initiative to help out in order to increase his friend points with Sato, saying, "Yumi, I think you like handsome men, right?"

Qin Zhibo turned around and looked at Gao Mushe.

Or do you think you're going to attract hatred...

The next second, Gao Mushi realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained: "I didn't say that Mr. Qin was not handsome!"

"But Mr. Qin's 'handsomeness' and Yumi's 'handsomeness' should be different, right?"

Miyamoto Yumi quickly took over the conversation, somewhat proudly saying, "Of course, I like that kind of..."

At this point, she stopped, a trace of memory flashed in her eyes.

Two seconds later, she closed her eyes and waved her hands. "Forget it. Why are you saying this in front of the newcomers? Let's just eat..."

Qin Zhibo took a look and found that there was indeed a story.

But this is normal. Miyamoto Yumi still looks good, but her popularity is not as high as Sato. She may always have to wear a duty hat and uniform, which seals some of her good looks.

The four of them did not have any more sensitive topics. Miyamoto Yumi asked about the transcript of the case.

Takagi Wataru told the truth, and even Miyamoto Yumi was shocked.

"I saw this case on the news this morning. It seems like quite a few people died."

"Yes, there are three dead in total." Takagi Shigeru turned to look at Qin Zhibo next to him and confirmed again, "Isn't that right? Mr. Qin?"

Qin Zhibo nodded, "Yes."

Judging from Takagi Wataru's questioning tone, the police did not carefully inventory the remains of the corpses in the meditation room after extinguishing the fire in the villa.

In fact, as long as the forensic doctors can analyze the details carefully enough, they will find the skeleton of an extra person at the scene.

Those were the bones of Ya Yuan Huang's body after his resurrection.

Qin Zhibo is not worried that the police will eventually discover the existence of this extra skeleton.

Because if the police could handle the case attentively, the death case of Ya Yuan Huang a year ago should have been handled well, and what happened today would not have happened at all.

……

After lunch, a few people went to the vending machine at the entrance of the cafeteria to buy something to drink.

It was Takagi She who treated him as usual, and Qin Zhibo asked for a bottle of oolong tea.

Seeing this, Miyamoto Yumi also yelled for Takagi Wataru to treat her. After all, she just asked him to come and share the table when the two were most helpless.

There is also a new face called Miike Naoko, I must show some appreciation when we meet for the first time

.

In the end, Mr. Gao paid for all the expenses.

"Alright, go take your statements. We have to go on duty."

"Bye~"

At the T-shaped fork in the corridor, Yumi Miyamoto and Naoko Miike were about to leave.

But when they were saying goodbye, Miike Naoko finally summoned up the courage to hold the unopened drink tightly in her hands.

"Can you wait a moment, Mr. Qin..."

Qin Zhibo was about to turn around and leave with Takagi when he heard a faint voice behind him and stopped.

"Um?"

Seeing Qin Zhibo looking back, Sanchi Miaozi said again, "Can I have a moment to talk?"

Takagi Wataru and Miyamoto Yumi next to them suddenly had a look of shock on their faces, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling, they looked at the two people walking to the side together in disbelief.

One tall, one short, one old and one young...

Could it be that there is something going on between these two people?

Qin Zhibo, who followed Sanchi Miaozi, didn't think much about it.

Although he felt Miike Naeko's eyes looking at her several times while eating, it was just a normal observation without any personal feelings.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo was also a little curious about what this new-faced female traffic police officer wanted to say to him.
