Chapter 125 Mottled Rust
Not only were the two adults tempted, but a group of children couldn't resist either. Genta pointed at himself and said, "If I guess right, would you treat me to a hundred servings of eel rice?"
Yuan Tai was very self-aware; he knew he couldn't solve the mystery, but he might be able to guess it by stepping in dog poop.
Miwako was suddenly seized by a playful mood. Although she didn't think that Genta and his group could solve the case that many police officers had failed to solve back then, she didn't realize that there was a guy named Shinichi Kudo standing next to her.
She crouched down, smiled, and nodded: "Of course!"
How much does a hundred servings of eel rice cost? No matter how expensive, it can't buy her father. If she really solves her father's last case, a thousand servings wouldn't be a problem.
"If it were me, I would want to go and experience the feeling of staying in a tropical amusement park castle."
Ayumi's wish remains to have a girlish heart full of joy.
Miwako readily agreed: "No problem."
It's just for one night, how much could it cost?
Mitsuhiko exclaimed excitedly, "If it were me, all you need to do is give me a ticket to the International Space Station!"
Miwako's face began to break out in a cold sweat, and she nodded: "Okay."
Anyway, you'll never guess. And even if you did, I wouldn't get a ticket to the International Space Station.
Ai, leaning against the roadside railing, said, "If it were me, all I would need is the latest Prada handbag."
"Okay." Miwako's face was covered in even more cold sweat.
Even if Shinichi, whose body is that of a high school student, could never solve a case again, he would never make such a shameful request.
A few seconds later, Conan, his face flushed, asked, "Um, could I have tickets to this year's FIFA World Cup?"
Miwako felt much less stressed: "Okay."
This requirement is relatively simple; with a ticket, frugal living, and savings, it shouldn't be a problem.
Kōyū counted on his fingers and said, "My request is simple: I just want a game console..."
"No problem at all," Miwako readily agreed.
"Wait, I haven't finished. Besides the game console, I also want lots of candy. I want to travel the world so I can eat all the delicious food in the world, and..."
Before Kōyū could finish speaking, Conan covered his mouth: "That's enough! Can't you leave some money for Inspector Satō? She's just broke too!"
Miwako felt as if she had been pierced by a thousand arrows, and sniffed hard: "It's nothing, little money!"
He thought to himself, "This is outrageous! Eel rice is easy, staying in a castle is easy! The handbag and entrance ticket are a bit pricey, but still acceptable! What the heck is that space station with the freckled kid on the face?"
Miwako turned to look at Kousuke, who was still muttering to himself, and gasped, "Especially Kousuke, that jerk who's always messing with his sister. Game consoles and candy are no problem, but traveling the world and eating his way around the globe? I want to too! But I don't have the money!"
Then she sighed, "It's terrifying how shrewd kids are these days. Compared to them, I feel like I was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper when I was a child."
She stood up and looked at Takagi and Shiratori, who were still lost in their daydreams, and asked, "What's wrong with you two? What are you thinking about?"
Takagi and Shiratori were immersed in their pink fantasy. Shiratori was relatively composed, simply closing his eyes to fantasize without revealing anything amiss. Takagi, on the other hand, was more unrestrained, looking up at the sky with a longing in his eyes that seemed to be forming a beam of light that would pierce the heavens.
Suddenly, Ayumi seemed to see something, pointed to the crossroads ahead, and said, "Flowers again!"
Miwako wiped the cold sweat from her brow, turned to look in the direction Ayumi pointed, then jogged a few steps forward and said with some surprise, "It's been so long since we last met."
One of the older women, upon seeing Miwako, exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Miwako?"
A rather muscular man behind them exclaimed, "I haven't seen you in so long, I didn't realize you'd grown so much!"
Takagi finally snapped out of his reverie and asked, "Officer Sato, your friend?"
Miwako nodded, clearly familiar with these uncles and aunts. She gave a brief introduction, explaining that they were her father's friends from his high school baseball team.
The man wearing glasses, whose hair clearly indicates his intelligence, is ace pitcher Hideaki Saruwatari.
One of them, Shuji Kano, is short in stature but has a hooked nose and is known for his strong arms and quick legs.
The very "muscular" man is Mitsuo Inomata, the star player of the baseball team.
That older woman was the most attractive member of the baseball team back then, and the team manager was Shintori Choko.
Guangyou agrees with this statement. Although she is older and her face shows the marks of time, it is still possible to vaguely see that she was indeed a rare beauty when she was young.
The group came here because they hadn't seen each other in a long time and wanted to have a meal together. They also wanted to give Miwako's father a flower, jokingly saying that Sato Masayoshi would be angry if they didn't call him Miwako's father.
Just then, Shiratori's phone rang. He answered it, and suddenly his expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "What? A suspected arsonist?"
After a long pause, Shiratori nodded, preparing to set off directly to find the suspect.
Takagi was checking his equipment to make sure he was fully equipped when he realized he had left his handcuffs on the office desk.
However, catching the suspect was more important, and there was no time to go back for the handcuffs. Just as Takagi was about to get into the car, Miwako asked, "Officer Takagi, are you alright?"
Takagi scratched his head: "It's okay, we can just use Officer Shiratori's later. Besides, the fortune teller in the magazine said that I'm having a very lucky day today, incredibly prosperous!"
