Takagi, whom everyone was talking about, looked at Kōyū with gratitude.

Leaving the office, the last rays of the setting sun shone through the window onto Miwako's face. She glanced at her watch and complained, "Really, it's already so late? I'm getting a little hungry."

Hearing this, Takagi blushed and tentatively asked, "Um, Officer Sato, if it's alright...?"

Compared to Takagi's subtlety, Shiratori was much more direct: "Could you please have dinner with me? Let's raise a glass to celebrate against the backdrop of the night view! I have an uncle who is a Michelin three-star French chef."

Miwako smiled and said, "That sounds good!"

Hearing Miwako's answer, Takagi was very disappointed: So, Miwako really likes Shiratori?

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Miwako's words gave Takagi a glimmer of hope: "It's really nice, but I appreciate it, I don't really like French food."

At this moment, Shiratori was completely bewildered. He pretended to be calm, greeted someone, and turned to leave. But he hadn't gone far before his true feelings were revealed. His arms hung down naturally, swaying with each step he took.

Takagi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Officer Sato, you don't like French food?"

Miwako smiled and said, "Yes, I don't really have any particular preferences. I just don't like making people feel sore and uncomfortable, or requiring so much etiquette. By the way, Officer Takagi, how are you? I found a really good noodle shop recently. Do you want to come with me?"

At this moment, Takagi's heart was pounding like a rabbit's, he was extremely excited, and he probably would have jumped up to celebrate if no one was around.

Just as they were about to agree, Guangyou, who was watching them from the side, said, "No need for that trouble, I'll do it. You guys follow me, I'll cook Chinese food for you!"

Miwako seemed a little surprised: "Kuyou, you can cook?"

Kōyū didn't explain much. He simply told Conan to give his statement another day, and then quickly dragged Miwako and Takagi away.

Because he knew that this case involved Inspector Megure, and after it was solved, Inspector Megure would definitely have to treat him to a meal. Kouyu had hurt Takagi so much before, so he should make amends and push their relationship forward.

Not long after everyone left, Inspector Megure appeared with a broad smile: "Officer Takagi, Officer Sato, let's go have dinner together! I've booked a banquet at the hotel to treat you all."

Inspector Megure, somewhat bewildered after searching everywhere without finding anyone, scratched the back of his head and asked, "Where is he?"
