"Keep an eye on me?" Takagi pointed at himself, somewhat puzzled, as he watched Sato Miwako and Miyamoto Yumi leave.

His emotional intelligence, which had been offline for a long time, was not active at this moment.

He was unaware that Miyamoto Yumi's words revealed some important information to him.

If Kousuke were Takagi, he would quickly realize the following information after hearing those words:

First, the woman has a good impression of him; she may not like him yet, but she definitely doesn't dislike him.

After all, if the woman disliked the man, she wouldn't have said things like "Let's go eat early, you've been busy all morning" to him before.

Secondly, the woman's best friend has a certain fondness for him and thinks highly of the two of them, so she may be trying to bring them together.

If the woman's best friend doesn't like the man, or doesn't approve of their relationship, or if the woman really doesn't have those feelings for him...

Then the woman's best friend wouldn't say something like "I think you're a good match".

Third, after the woman's best friend said that, the woman did not explain, but instead, as if she was shy, pulled the person away directly.

Unless the woman and her best friend had planned this beforehand to play a trick on him, or she's a manipulative woman who wants to use him as a tool for both of them.

However, Miwako Sato and Yumi Miyamoto are not like that, a fact that Miyuki is very clear about.

In conclusion, these three pieces of information are quite credible.

This is not just wishful thinking, but a well-founded conjecture.

Unfortunately, Takagi was unaware of any of these three points.

At this moment, Takagi was still standing in the same spot, even though Sato Miwako and Miyamoto Yumi had long since disappeared from sight, he was still looking in the direction the two had left.

He felt somewhat lost.

He had a vague feeling that Miyamoto Yumi wanted to match him up with Miwako, but he couldn't quite believe it.

In fact, the moment the idea popped into his head, he immediately dismissed it.

It would be good if Miyamoto Yumi really had that idea.

If he's wrong, that would be embarrassing.

Although no one has yet summarized the so-called "three great illusions of life," Takagi has already intuitively realized the one that most people encounter:

—The idea that "she likes me" might just be his delusion.

"He lacks confidence." Seeing Takagi's absent-minded look, Kōyū knew that he was still thinking about what Miyamoto Yumi had said earlier.

Even with such obvious hints, Takagi still looked incredulous, and Mitsuyu felt that Takagi hadn't even dared to think in that direction.

The conversation caught Professor Agasa's attention, and he noticed that Kousuke was standing still, looking like he was deep in thought.

Therefore, he waited a few seconds before saying, "Kuangyou, we should go."

Upon hearing Professor Agasa's voice, both Mitsuyu and Takagi snapped out of their daze.

"Coming right away," Kōyū replied, then pulled Ai along and walked forward.

A few seconds later, Takagi caught up with Kousuke, bent down again, and asked in a low voice, "Kousuke, what did you mean by that sentence just now?"

"Officer Takagi, can't you just ask Miwako out on your own?" Mitsuhiro's tone was full of disappointment.

"Well..." Takagi's expression became a little unnatural when the topic of dating came up.

"What's wrong?" Guangyou noticed his expression and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Actually..." Takagi hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, "Actually, I asked Officer Sato to go to the movies a while ago."

"Really?" This was the first time Kōyū had felt surprised by Takagi, but seeing Takagi's hesitant look, he knew that the date had not gone well.

Considering Sato Miwako's personality, and recalling the two times he had seen Takagi and Miwako on dates, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

If things go as he thinks, then Takagi is really in trouble...

"And the result?" Guangyou had already anticipated the outcome, but he still asked.

"It actually went quite smoothly at first..." Takagi scratched his head, recalling the unexpected incident on that date, and couldn't help but sigh. He then recounted the general situation of that date to Kouyu.

After listening, Kōyū gently patted Takagi's arm to comfort him and said, "Officer Takagi, you've had a tough time too."

"What bad luck," Ai said.

“Yes.” Kōyū nodded, saying with some sympathy, “By the way, Officer Takagi, if I remember correctly, it was the same last time.”

Every date ends in an unexpected incident; Takagi and Conan are definitely the same kind of people.

Takagi just told him about that date, and it was because of this unexpected incident that Kōyū made that remark.

The dating process was simple. Takagi saw that he and Miwako had the same day off, so he gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and asked her out. Miwako agreed.

The two chose a movie, agreed on a time to meet the next day, and then went home after get off work.

That night, Takagi was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until midnight.

However, Takagi's good mood didn't last long, only lasting until halfway through the movie.

When a movie is shown, the lights in the screening room will be dimmed.

When the movie reaches its halfway point, just as the main storyline begins, most viewers will be immersed in the world the film creates, provided the film is of high quality.

Some unscrupulous individuals take advantage of the audience's attention being focused on the film to tamper with it.

This situation is not common. In fact, even though Kōyō and Ai have watched so many movies together, they have never encountered it.

But Takagi was unlucky enough to run into one.

With the cooperation of the cinema security guards, the thief was quickly caught.

Takagi and Sato Miwako are both on-duty police officers. Although it was their day off, they still took the responsibility of delivering the thief to the Metropolitan Police Department in this situation.

And so, that date fell through.

For this reason, Takagi was in a bad mood all day.

That's understandable, since they're both police officers, and if they want to go on a date, they can only meet on their days off.

Leaving aside whether Takagi would dare to ask Miwako out, even the prerequisites for a date are not so easy to meet.

They finally met up, and Miwako even agreed to go on the date, but then an accident happened during the date.

The typical dating routine for men and women is to have lunch after watching a movie, and if possible, go shopping.

However, Takagi's dating plans were forced to be canceled at the very first step.

Most importantly, this has happened more than once.

Last time, Takagi and Miwako went to Dorobiga Park and encountered a murder case around noon.

After solving the murder case, just when Takagi thought he could continue dating Miwako, he encountered a thief.

What this date had in common with the last one was that it ended very soon after it began.

If Kōsuke were to comment, his assessment of Takagi would be very concise:

The word "miserable" permeates Takagi's emotional life.
