"Looks like we arrived at the wrong time, Megure."
Odagiri Toshiro glanced at his subordinates who looked slightly embarrassed after he spoke. His eyes turned past him and fell on Uehara Katsumi and Sato Miwako: "I'm sorry to disturb you. The people are still in trial. When it comes to the case, Let’s talk after you get to work.”
After saying this, the police boss, whose expression did not change at all, nodded to the two of them and turned around to leave. There was no sign of the so-called "workplace bullying" of those in authority.
Sato Miwako, whose brain was so shut down that she couldn't react, didn't have time to say anything. Megure Jusan directly glanced at the equally confused Uehara Katsumi: "Why didn't you answer my call at home and turn off the phone?! You said yesterday that you could just take the keys to me. I thought you weren’t at home.”
"Well, my phone should probably be... charging, right?"
Uehara Katsuki blinked, subconsciously tilted his upper body back, and tilted his head to look at the bedside of the bedroom - his cell phone was indeed on the bedside table with the charging cable plugged in: "Maybe I turned it off and then recharged it, and forgot to turn it on."
"..."
"No, Megure Police Department, why did you come to Uehara's house?" Sato Miwako, who finally recovered after being interrupted, quickly rinsed her mouth and spit out the toothpaste, wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand: "You also brought Minister Odagiri with you. "
"You arrested Uno Tadayoshi here. Naturally, I have to bring the minister who has finished interrogating him."
Years of experience in being asked prompted Memu Shisan to instinctively answer his subordinates' doubts, and then he looked at the two people in front of him with strange eyes: "But since you are here, let's wait until you get to work, so I won't disturb you." You guys are gone, I’m leaving too.”
"Eh?"
Sato Miwako looked obviously stunned. She didn't understand what she meant at first, but after realizing it, her cheeks felt vaguely hot. She couldn't help but turn her head and glare fiercely at the man who obviously couldn't hold back his laughter.
When she turned around again, Mumu Shisan, who turned to leave, had already walked out of the entrance corridor and closed the door behind her.
"If you want to laugh, laugh out loud, otherwise I'm afraid you'll choke to death."
"No, what does this have to do with me? This is my home, is my home okay?"
The good teeth were clearly visible in the man's grin. Katsuki Uehara, who had been holding back for a long time, spread his hands in a helpless manner and said, "You helped me plug in the charger when my phone ran out of power. I don't know anything. The only thing I remember is It’s just that you seemed to have carried me back before I got drunk last night.”
"You mean you are innocent?" Sato Miwako narrowed her eyes and said with unclear meaning.
"That's not true."
Katsuki Uehara, who had slightly suppressed his smile, raised his lips with a hint of playfulness, and raised his eyes to meet the woman's somewhat dangerous gaze: "If you agree to be my girlfriend, then I won't be innocent, right? ?”
——? !
Miwako Sato's eyelids twitched slightly, but her eyes looked at each other without any intention of retreating: "Really? That depends on your ability."
"What am I capable of?"
After hearing an answer that was different from the past, Katsuki Uehara's smile grew brighter: "Does good wine count? It's absolutely peaceful when you're drunk and don't cry or make trouble. You've just experienced it twice."
Miwako, who seemed to have heard some fantasy, subconsciously thought of the way the man in front of her rubbed against her like a child last night, crying and begging not to leave. She subconsciously wanted to laugh out loud, but she suppressed her laughter. The corner of his mouth——
"Um?"
Almost instantly, Katsuki Uehara, who caught the woman's slight expression, frowned and faintly smelled something bad.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
Did I do something truly embarrassing last night?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. His self-control is absolutely outstanding and well-known.
"Do you remember what happened last night?"
Seeing Uehara's expression changing, Miwako Sato still didn't understand what was going on in his mind. She held the mouthwash cup with a smile, threw the toothbrush in and stirred it, and walked step by step in front of the man.
Uehara Katsumi quickly gathered his thoughts and loosened the knot between his brows, and said firmly: "No matter what you say, I won't believe it."
"Yeah."
Miwako Sato smiled and let go of her hand holding the toothbrush. She raised her head slightly and leaned towards the man's ear, saying softly: "I repeat, I still think you are cuter when you are drunk."
"..."
"I'm going to the kitchen to brush my teeth." Before the man could react, Miwako Sato turned around and walked towards the kitchen. The sunlight filtered through the window and fell on her body, and her silent smile was exceptionally bright.
"...Wait a minute Sato, what did I do last night?"
"secret."
"How can anyone tell a secret to the person involved?"
"You are already involved, why do you still need me to speak?"
"I'll play a few rounds of mahjong with my aunt later."
"Oh, whatever."
"..."
After being rejected, Uehara Katsumi reluctantly took his clothes into the bathroom. Before closing the door, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who doesn't brush their teeth and wash their face before taking a shower?"
"Yes, you saw it today." In the kitchen, Sato Miwako, who had continued her career in brushing her teeth, spit out the foam without looking back.
"What did you see?"
Police Hospital, White Bird Ward.
When Chiba hung up the phone and looked up, what he saw was Takagi and Shiratori's faces full of curiosity.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to Uehara and Sato? Did something happen to them too?" Shiratori on the hospital bed thought something had happened again and hurriedly urged.
"Well, it's nothing serious. It's just that the Megure Police Department just went to Uehara's house. They originally wanted to take the chief to see the crime scene, but they saw Uehara and Sato at home.
"Now that Megure Police Department and Director Odagiri have returned, they called me to ask me about the problem at the hospital." Chiba considered the words and said straight to the point.
"????"
"????"
Takagi and Shiratori were startled, seriously doubting that they had heard wrongly.
What do you mean these two people are at home?
Progress so quickly? !
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know. This is what the Megure Police Department said. Sato seemed to be brushing his teeth in his pajamas at the time, so they returned to the Metropolitan Police Department early."
"……real?"
"……real?"
"It should be true. The Megure Police Department said that Sato's expression changed at that time, but he didn't deny it out loud."
"..."
Although he had been prepared for this for a long time, when he actually heard the news, Shiratiao found that he was still very melancholy.
He was lying on the bed in the hospital, Uehara was at home with Sato...
Shiratori felt that he might be more seriously ill and would need to be hospitalized for a few more days.
Other people's talents and women's looks match each other perfectly, so what kind of cookies are he and Takagi?
The two heartbroken people looked at each other and saw the bitterness and loss in each other's eyes.
This day has finally arrived.
Why so fast? Woohoo!
……………………………………………………
Mihua Central Hospital, Miyano Shiho's secret ward.
Aso Minoru, who was wearing a white lab coat, stood together with Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as a policeman. They looked at the changing data on the screen, their faces visibly solemn.
Behind the two of them was Miyano Akemi, who came over after hearing the news and was extremely anxious: "How is it? How is Shiho doing? Will she die?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Akemi." Aso, who didn't dare to make any decisions, could only show an apologetic look. He took out his cell phone and made a gesture, then turned around and opened the ward door——
"Uehara! Where are you? Something happened. The Miyano Shiho you sent to the hospital before. All her body functions are deteriorating rapidly!"
