Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

"Is that right?"

"Of course. Takagi and I are just ordinary colleagues, and I have absolutely no interest in office romances."

As a criminal investigator, colleagues are partners in fighting crime; there shouldn't be any other complicated relationships.

Shiraishihara was not surprised by Sato Miwako's response.

In the original anime storyline, Wataru Takagi didn't have anything particularly outstanding about him, and under normal circumstances, Miwako Sato would hardly have been interested in him.

Moreover, given Sato Miwako's serious and responsible work ethic, it's highly unlikely that an office romance would affect her work.

Even if we had to pair them up, Shiratori Ninzaburo is a better match for Sato Miwako than Takagi Wataru, whether it's their positions (Shiratori Ninzaburo is a police inspector), family background (he's from a wealthy family), or appearance.

I really don't understand why they had to put Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi together. It felt very forced and was extremely awkward to watch.

When Shiraishihara and Sato Miwako came out of the restaurant, it was already completely dark, and the surrounding neon lights were shining.

Chiyoda Ward is located in the heart of Tokyo, and the Imperial Palace is situated there.

After dinner, the two did not rush back, but chose to take a stroll around the area.

This time, it was Shiraishihara who took the initiative to hold Sato Miwako's hand.

"Officer Sato, if you don't like this, I won't ask you for help next time. That way you won't be angry with me anymore."

"I'm not angry with you, and it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that doing this in public is too dangerous, do you understand?"

Sato Miwako felt that as the older sister, it was necessary to guide Shiraishihara in the right way.

"I understand. Next time, I'll bring Officer Sato back to my house. That should be fine, right?"

"Huh? You want to take me home? I'm not taking that bait!"

Sato Miwako blushed slightly, thinking that if Shiraishihara really took her home, she didn't know what outrageous demands he would make.

She wasn't stupid; she had already realized that Shiraishihara was interested in her body. After all, Shiraishihara was at the age where boys are full of strong curiosity about girls' bodies, so this situation was understandable.

"Haha... I was just saying it offhand."

Shiraishihara wasn't in a hurry, since he had plenty of time. In the world of Detective Conan, time was the one thing that was never lacking.

Next, the two visited Chidorigafuchi Park in Chiyoda Ward together.

The park extends from the Thousand Birds Pool Greenway to the Hanzang Gate of the Forbidden City. It is named after the shape of its lake, which resembles a thousand birds spreading their wings as if about to take flight.

Along the river, 170 cherry blossom trees are planted on the main road and embankment. The cherry blossoms at night are a must-see attraction in the park.

Lights were placed around the cherry blossoms, reflecting their various shapes and forms on the water.

The two held hands and admired the cherry blossoms like other tourists. The atmosphere was romantic and pleasant, and their eyes were full of love when they looked at each other.

……

The sun shines brightly on this new day.

A red sports car speeds through the streets of Tokyo.

"2958, 220 horsepower, V6, 24-valve, DOHC engine..."

Inside the car, Mitsuhiko looked at the car's features and couldn't help but drool, saying, "This sports car is so cool..."

Yuan Tai exclaimed excitedly, "The car is going so fast! That's amazing!"

Ayumi and Ai, being girls, weren't that excited about the sports car and were whispering among themselves.

Conan, huddled among a group of children, yawned, raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, and asked, "Yukiko-neechan, you took everyone out to play, why did Shiraishihara come along too?"

Yukiko replied matter-of-factly, "You kids are playing together, so Shiraishihara can keep me company."

"What? So it was all for your own sake."

Conan had a vague feeling that something was wrong; Shiraishihara and his mother seemed to be getting too close.

My dad's been away from home lately, and my mom must be feeling lonely all by herself.

As it happened, Shiraishi lived right next door to him, only a five-minute walk away!

My mom used to be a big star, and even now that she's older, she's still beautiful and charming.

Shiraishihara, who lives next door, might have already developed feelings for his mother while his father is away.

Conan glanced at Yukiko Kudo in the driver's seat and then at Shiraishihara in the passenger seat, feeling that the two of them had a special chemistry!

"Yukiko, it seems like Conan isn't very welcoming to me?" Shiraishihara suddenly said provocatively.

"Oh dear. Conan's jealous of you. Does saying this make you happier?"

Yukiko Kudo, completely disregarding the fact that Conan was in the back seat, jokingly remarked.

Hey you two, watch yourselves!

Conan couldn't help but speak up to remind the two to be mindful of their boundaries and keep their distance.

It was highly unusual that Shiraishi was now calling his mother by her first name. He was too embarrassed to confront her directly, so he could only find an opportunity to investigate secretly.

"whee……"

Seeing Conan's resentful look, Ai Haibara couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ayumi asked curiously, "Haibara-san, what are you laughing at?"

Ai Haibara replied, "It's nothing, I just think that Edogawa-kun is quite cute sometimes."

Ayumi, standing nearby, asked worriedly, "No way, could it be that you... like Conan, Haibara-san...?"

Ai Haibara gave a mysterious smile and said, "What do you think?"

Ayumi said, "If Haibara likes Conan, I won't compete with you. I already have a new guy I like!"

Mitsuhiko and Genta became excited upon hearing Ayumi's words.

Mitsuhiko asked, "Ayumi, the boy you like, it's not me, is it?"

Genta said, "Ayumi, the boy you like is definitely me!"

Ayumi immediately denied it: "Of course it's not you guys, it's Shiraishihara-nii!"

"no!"

Mitsuhiko and Genta were immediately filled with disappointment; this was a huge blow.

Ai Haibara reached out and gently tapped Ayumi's head, saying, "Ayumi, listen to me carefully. Shiraishihara is a complete villain. Don't be fooled by his appearance and let him deceive you!"

"Huh? Really?" Ayumi bit her finger, unsure whether Ai Haibara was telling the truth.

Conan, who was standing nearby, was secretly pleased to hear this.

Ai Haibara may seem cold, but she's actually a nice person and has always been on his side.

"Hehe... Haibara-kun, I completely agree with what you said. You're a pretty good person."

Ai Haibara said calmly, "Okay, I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously. Elementary school students should focus on their studies and not think about those things."

Ayumi couldn't help but complain, "Haibara-kun, aren't you a primary school student yourself? How come you're just like Conan?"

Just then, Yukiko received a phone call.

"Hello...yes, it's me. Ah, it's Mr. Karata!"

On the other end of the phone, Yukiko smiled immediately upon hearing the voice on the other end; her sweet voice even made Shiraishihara turn his ear to listen.

"Hmm? A lot of effort has been put into the quality; the time required for Zero might be extended?"

"It's alright, no problem." Seemingly without issue, Yukiko said with a smile, "Anyway, I'll go to your place first. Thank you for your help!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Mitsuhiko asked, "What is this 'number zero' that Yukiko-neechan mentioned earlier?"

"Could it be the serial number of some kind of electronic robot?"

Genta blinked and made a casual guess.

"Yukiko-neechan, please tell us."

Ayumi looked at Yukiko pitifully, and her mournful eyes made Conan shiver.

"It's a secret..."

Yukiko, however, didn't seem to care at all. She continued driving with a smile on her face and said leisurely.

"what?"

Ayumi immediately became disappointed and pouted again.

What harm would it do to tell us?

"You're going to take us to see the first Kamen Rider audition, right?"

Conan scoffed, "A secret? I could have guessed it right away."

"what?"

Yukiko was taken aback.

"Oh! Really?!"

The children didn't care about any of that; upon hearing the news, they immediately cheered, "We want to see it!"

"But how did you know?"

While waiting at a traffic light, Yukiko looked at Conan curiously, "I didn't say anything about this."

"When we talk about quality, we usually mean color correction in movies or things like gemstones and jade."

Conan revealed his crescent-shaped eyes.

"Zero usually refers to a film or television work that has just finished filming, so it can't possibly be something like a gemstone. Tang Tian must be someone who works in film production, and you also mentioned that it's a movie that everyone likes... recently released. That's the only thing I can think of."

"As for why it's the latest,"

Conan raised an eyebrow.

"You just mentioned that there was no time to arrange it. It can only be because the movie is about to be released and there is no time to arrange it. So you can only use the zero that has not yet been adjusted to do the test and bring Zhu."

"You guessed right." Yukiko smiled at Conan.

"But you really are amazing!"

"Um... Yukiko, the traffic light has been green for a while now!"

Shiraishihara pointed out that the green light was almost over and was starting to turn yellow.

No. .

149. Enjoy the pleasure of Yukiko's alluring red high heels.

Chapter 149

"Huh?" Yukiko was startled and quickly looked up, just in time to see the traffic light turn yellow.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Yukiko stared at the yellow traffic light, her eyes slightly narrowed. "I didn't notice it just now, but it's okay!"

"Hold on tight!"

With a soft shout from Yukiko, the red sports car roared to life and shot off like an arrow, causing everyone to lean back uncontrollably. Thanks to its exceptional acceleration, it crossed the traffic light in the blink of an eye, just as the yellow light was about to end.

"Hey!"

Conan turned pale with fright. "This isn't New York! There are children on the bus!"

"don’t worry."

Yukiko chuckled softly, but her hands didn't stop moving. She sharply turned the steering wheel, alternating between the brake and accelerator, and the sports car executed a beautiful drift, turning a full ninety degrees. Immediately afterward, Yukiko slammed on the gas, and the car sped straight into a narrow alley.

"Wow, that's so exciting!"

Unlike Conan, who was terrified, his friends were not scared at all. Instead, they shouted excitedly, which made Conan feel helpless.

"Yukiko-neechan is such a fun person," Ayumi said, clapping her hands with a smile.

……

The group arrived at the Tokyo Phenomenon Institute.
