"That's because there were still people inside the art museum building. Officer Sato and Mr. Denda were hiding in the restroom. If the bomb had detonated, they both would have died!"

Conan hurriedly told Professor Agasa the reason.

"So there were people inside. Then I really have to thank you, otherwise I would have made a huge mistake."

Professor Agasa said, turning his head to look over.

"Huh? The art museum has already exploded. Then those two..."

"You don't need to worry," Takagi said from the side, "Officer Sato and Mr. Denda were already saved by Lord Akaso Kaze."

Professor Agasa turned back, looking at Conan with a dark face.

"... Conan, you're just tricking me for fun, right."

"No, no I'm not!" Conan really couldn't explain himself, "I really thought they were both inside at the time!"

In the evening, at Akaso Kaze's home.

Akaso Kaze was sitting at the dining table, opposite two serious-looking little lolis.

"The food is here!"

With a pleasant voice, Sato Miwako came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes.

Sushi, Japanese fried chicken, tempura, vegetable salad, seaweed salad, and tofu with bonito flakes.

Although they were traditional Japanese dishes, the presentation was quite good.

"I didn't expect Officer Sato to have such skills."

Akaso Kaze tasted a piece of fried chicken, feeling the fresh and juicy meat, and couldn't help but praise her.

"That's right! Now you know my skills, letting you underestimate me."

Sato Miwako gave Akaso Kaze a beautiful side-eye.

"Also, Akaso-san, just call me Miwako from now on."

The girl said, blushing a little.

"Alright, Miwako, let's have a drink."

Akaso Kaze raised his red wine.

Watching the two drink together, Haibara Ai couldn't help but frown slightly.

Beside her, Ayumi took a bite of the food and pulled on Haibara Ai's sleeve.

"Haibara, this food is really delicious."

"If it's delicious, you guys eat more; I made quite a lot."

Hearing the little loli's praise, Sato Miwako beamed.

Haibara Ai gave Ayumi a look of frustration.

This is a love rival!

A love rival!

But Haibara Ai eventually ate a few pieces.

After all, Sato Miwako's cooking tasted pretty good.

After eating, they sat on the sofa chatting.

Haibara Ai saw the handcuffs on Sato Miwako's waist and asked curiously, "Huh, why is Officer Sato carrying a rusty pair of handcuffs?"

"Oh, you mean this? Because when I was arresting Denda, my handcuffs broke, so I had to temporarily use my father's memento."

Sato Miwako took off the handcuffs, revealing a look of recollection.

"Your father's memento?" Ayumi's eyes widened with curiosity.

Sato Miwako nodded.

"Yes, counting the time, it's been eighteen years. Eighteen years ago today, he was hit by a truck while chasing a robber. Because it was raining heavily at the time, the ambulance couldn't arrive in time, so..."

Looking at the girl who was a bit sad, Akaso Kaze remembered that case.

His eyes flickered, and he had an idea in his heart.

At night, Akaso Kaze drove Sato Miwako home.

When they arrived downstairs at her house, Sato Miwako was about to get out of the car.

Akaso Kaze called out to her.

"Miwako, leave your father's case to me."

Sato Miwako turned to look at Akaso Kaze, her face full of surprise, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"Akaso-san, I, I had thought about it long ago, but I don't have the money..."

Akaso Kaze reached out his finger and lifted the police beauty's chin.

He leaned his face over.

Sato Miwako trembled but didn't dodge.

She let Akaso Kaze get close.

Akaso Kaze stopped in front of her.

Their breathing was close enough to touch, making Sato Miwako feel a bit dizzy.

Akaso Kaze smiled and said, "I saw everything today, let that count as the commission fee."

Sato Miwako got out of the car, feeling dazed, and watched Akaso Kaze leave.

What did he mean?

What did he see today?

Suddenly, she thought of what happened during the day, and her face instantly turned bright red.

Bad, bad guy...

She turned back, feeling a bit cheerful, and walked into the house.

"Miwako, why are you so late today?"

"Huh, your mood seems different today."

Her mother, Sato Shinobu, was sitting on the sofa and found it strange to see her daughter's state.

Because police work was too busy, she was usually exhausted and lazy when she came back.

Today, however, she was full of joy and even had a rare shyness.

"Ah, because there was a case, I asked someone for some help, and I treated him to a meal in the evening."

Sato Miwako said while changing her shoes.

"Asked someone? A man or a woman?"

Sato Shinobu was very curious.

"A man... oh, Mom, why are you asking so much."

Sato Miwako felt a bit embarrassed. ===== CHAPTER 397 =====
