"Okay." Shiho Miyano nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll go wash up first."

She went to the restroom to wash up and also to compose herself.

Although it will be awkward to meet my sister later, we will have to meet sooner or later.

It's better to just get through this awkward situation sooner rather than later!

When you go out to the living room later, just greet them as usual.

After washing up, Shiho Miyano changed into some casual and comfortable clothes before going out to the living room.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw her sister coming out of the kitchen carrying dishes.

"You've come at the perfect time! We can start lunch now." Mingmei smiled slightly, as if nothing had just happened.

"I'll help." Shiho Miyano breathed a sigh of relief and went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

As usual, everyone began to eat lunch in the restaurant.

"Where is Ms. Ogiwara? Has she already gone back?" Shiho Miyano asked, somewhat curious about the female traffic police officer's situation.

"Yeah, they left early this morning, saying they had to rush back to work today." Mingmei sighed after saying this, "Being a police officer really isn't easy."

"After getting revenge, I didn't even have time to process it before I had to go back to work."

“Isn’t that right?” Lin Jin said. “If being a policeman were easy, I wouldn’t have chosen to resign.”

“Yeah, that’s true.” Shiho Miyano said casually, “If you were a detective, you probably wouldn’t have that much time to date girls.”

"Just so you know, you can't bring any weird girls with you!"

"Otherwise, my sister and I will kick her out!"

Mingmei somewhat agreed with her sister's words, adding, "It's alright if they're a bit strange, the most important thing is that their character can't be too bad!"

"For example, you should respect others, and you shouldn't arbitrarily change other people's rules or barge into their rooms without their permission."

"Besides... Lin, you also know that our identities are different."

"If we let them know things they shouldn't know, it will only harm them."

In response, Lin Jinran said, "Don't worry about that, they are all good girls. They just had bad luck and ran into trouble."

After receiving reassurance, the Miyano sisters were somewhat relieved.

——————————————————————————————

After obtaining permission from the Miyano sisters, Lin Jinke was ready to get to work.

He had originally planned to invite Yoko Okino first, but a phone call from Miwako Sato forced him to change his plans.

Around 5 p.m., Lin Jin went to a kaiseki restaurant to meet with Sato Miwako.

Not only was Miwako Sato present at the meeting, but her mother was also there.

Sato's mother is a typical housewife who has entered middle age. She has curly hair like an older woman and many wrinkles on her face.

One look at it inspires respect and prevents one from having any improper thoughts.

With her as a reference, one can truly appreciate the natural beauty and skincare of mothers like Yukiko Kudo, Eri Kisaki, and Tomoko Suzuki!

"Mom, this is Detective Lin Jin, who solved the case of the 'Sorrowful Man'. He used to be my partner!" Sato Miwako introduced Lin Jin.

"Hello, Auntie." Lin Jin greeted her respectfully, his eyes were pure, and his appearance was well-behaved, showing the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman.

"Detective Lin, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we would never have known the truth!" Sato's mother said gratefully, then bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to express her thanks.

Seeing this, Sato Miwako followed her mother's example and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

Having been in Japan for so long, Lin Jin had long been used to people bowing to him at the drop of a hat.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He bowed slightly and said, "Auntie, you're too kind. It's my honor to be of help."

After some polite greetings, the host and guest took their seats.

During the meal, Lin Jin could clearly feel that Sato's mother was looking him up and down, repeatedly.

.... ..... ...

In this situation, he would bet 100% that the other party would start arranging marriages for his daughter!

"Detective Lin, if I may ask... do you have a girlfriend now?" Sato's mother couldn't help but ask.

"Mom! Don't say these things while we're eating!" Sato Miwako reminded her shyly.

Sato's mother did not respond, but stared at Lin Jin with shining eyes, expecting his answer.

In response, Lin Jin put down his chopsticks and said, "Auntie, I have girlfriends... and more than one!"

"Huh?" This question left Sato's mother completely dumbfounded.

I had so much to say, but I realized I couldn't use a single word.

After a while, she finally realized what she meant and chuckled awkwardly, "Oh... I see? It seems that young people these days have a different view on love than people from our generation!"

Lin Jin chuckled and said, "Times are changing, and so are some ideas. Many young people now advocate not dating and not getting married… I think they're being a bit extreme!"

"Yes...yes." Sato's mother nodded in response with a smile.

She muttered to herself: Actually, you're quite extreme too.

Then, she never asked Lin Jin about matters of the heart again.

Chapter 151 Raising Sato and Miyamoto as roommates (1st update)

After learning that Lin Jin had multiple girlfriends, Sato's mother stopped promoting her daughter and instead began to admire Lin Jin's talent at a young age.

Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

After watching her mother leave, Sato Miwako gave Lin Jin an admiring look and said, "Lin-kun, you're really clever! You even came up with such a reason."

"Tsk tsk tsk, having multiple girlfriends, the moment you said that, my mom was completely stumped."

"She's always pressuring me to get married... Ugh, it's driving me crazy!"

"It's gotten to the point where I don't want to stay home when I have nothing to do, just to avoid her nagging!"

"..."

Seeing Sato Miwako's grumbling, Lin Jin said, "If that's the case, why don't you move out? That way you can avoid your mother's pressure to get married."

"783." "I've thought about that too." Sato Miwako said dejectedly, "The work of a detective is already not much, not even enough to cover my expenses... If I move out, life will be even more difficult!"

"Besides, you know how busy criminal police officers are, and they rarely go home."

"I did the math and realized it's more cost-effective to rent a room at the nearby hotel and go there occasionally to shower and rest!"

"What a coincidence," Lin Jin chuckled. "A friend of mine is looking for roommates. They don't have to pay rent, but the roommates must have a clean background, be of good character, and have a legitimate profession."

"You meet all these requirements, would you like to stay here?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako was somewhat tempted.

But she still asked, "Really? Someone actually offers such terms? It can't be a scam, can it?"

"Don't worry, it's true. I've been living there for a while now." Lin Jin took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "She's a rich girl from the port area. I met her because of a commission."

"They don't lack money, but they feel that the villa is too big and there are too few people living there. It's lonely and they don't feel safe, so they want to find some reliable and honest roommates."

"The conditions there are quite good, the place is large, and there are swimming pools, gyms and the like!"

"Because the villa's owner is a girl, they also hope that a girl will move in."

When Sato Miwako heard this, she was immediately intrigued, not to mention the many supporting facilities inside.

Of course, most importantly, Lin Jin also lives there!

Of course I'll go.

If we don't seize this opportunity, we'll never have another chance!

With that in mind, Sato Miwako readily nodded and said, "Okay! Since it was Lin-kun who recommended it, it definitely won't cheat me! I'll pack my things and head over right now!"

Seeing how straightforward Miwako Sato was, Lin Jin was very pleased. He felt that this was very much like Miwako Sato – efficient and decisive in getting things done!

He immediately said, "Don't rush, let's call a few more people... that villa is quite big."

"How big is it?" Sato Miwako asked curiously.

"A four-story villa with fifteen guest rooms, wouldn't you say it's big or not?" Lin Jin chuckled.

"This...it's so big?" Sato Miwako was also taken aback, not expecting the living environment to be so good.

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, people wouldn't feel lonely and insecure." Lin Jin exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "So find more people. Do you know any decent people?"

“Yes! Yumi has excellent character!” Sato Miwako mentioned her best friend without hesitation.

With such a great opportunity, how could I not bring my best friend along?

Then, somewhat embarrassed, she said, "However, Yumi does have one minor flaw... that is, she likes to drink. I don't think that's considered bad behavior, right?"

"As long as he doesn't get drunk and cause trouble, it's fine." Lin Jin continued to ask, easily concealing his true intentions!

"You can rest assured! Although Yumi loves to drink, she rarely gets drunk!" Sato Miwako patted her chest to vouch for her Russian best friend!

"Alright, let's go find her!" Lin Jin nodded and said.

“Okay! Wait a minute, I’ll call her and ask where she is.” Sato Miwako eagerly took out her phone.

..............................

Upon arriving at the izakaya, Lin Jin saw Miyamoto Yumi, who was quite drunk.

"Miwako~~~~ and Hayashi-kun, you've arrived." Miyamoto Yumi swirled her wine glass, smiling slightly with a tipsy smirk. "Hurry up and sit down! Miaozi~~ pour them some drinks."

"Okay...okay." A girl with pigtails sitting next to me quickly started pouring drinks.

"I didn't come to you for drinks, I have something important to discuss with you...!" Sato Miwako sat down next to Miyamoto Yumi, took her wine glass, and repeated what Lin Jin had just said.

"Huh? Really? Are you kidding me?" Upon hearing such good news, Miyamoto Yumi's drunkenness dissipated by more than half!

“Of course! Lin has already moved in.” Sato Miwako said, looking at Lin Jin.

"Yes... as long as they have good character and behave properly, that's fine." Lin Jin took the wine glass from Miike Naoko's hand, thanked her, and continued, "Besides, you're police officers, which should give the villa owner a lot of peace of mind!"

“Then you’ve come to the right person. Miwako and I are both very strong!” Miyamoto Yumi said, making two punches in the air.

"I believe in Miwako's skills, but Yumi... are you really that good?" Lin Jin was quite curious about this, because he had never seen her fight before.

“She’s even better than me…” Sato Miwako stood up for Miyamoto Yumi without hesitation, saying, “She doesn’t like fighting and killing, she thinks it’s too crude, and she doesn’t like working overtime late at night, she thinks it’s bad for her skin.”

"In the end, I went to the transportation department, which I found to be relatively relaxed."

Miike Naeko, who was standing next to her, added, "When we encounter troublesome car owners, it's Officer Miyamoto who handles it."

Lin Jin had to think more highly of Miyamoto Yumi; he hadn't expected her to be so well-hidden.

"Hehe, when are we moving in? I also want to live in a big villa!!" Miyamoto Yumi said expectantly.

You can live in a luxury house for 3.8 yuan and save on rent at the same time—that's killing two birds with one stone!

"I'll take you to meet the villa's owners tomorrow, so they can get acquainted with them. Just act normally then." Lin Jin planned to let Mingmei and the others meet them first, to help her establish her position as the mistress of the house!

Sato Miyamoto, of course, had no objection to this; on the contrary, he began to feel happy and look forward to it.

After all, they were roommates in college, but they had to separate later.

After taking a couple of sips of beer, Lin Jin glanced at the well-behaved, silent, reserved, and shy Michiko next to him.

This is a rare twin-tailed girl in the Conan world.

We must take it down.

He casually asked, "What's your name, officer?"

Chapter 152 Michiko Falls into the Trap (2 Updates)

“Three…Three pond seedlings.”

Miike Naoko replied somewhat nervously.

The other party is not only a well-known detective in the Metropolitan Police Department, but also a detective who has solved several major cases in a row!
