In the interrogation room/taking room,

"Mr. Yizhu, may I ask how you dealt with the armed robber?"

Inspector Megure's eyes were filled with suspicion.

He has read the initial report on the situation on site and has a general understanding of the situation.

"How did he deal with it? He just walked over and threw a punch..."

"I mean, how did you dodge those shots?"

"How would I know? His marksmanship is terrible, what does that have to do with me?"

Inspector Megure remained silent for a moment.

"So, what do you know about Maple Leaf Coins?"

“I told you, I went there to recommend my services to the customers.”

"I'm asking about Maple Leaf Gold Coins now..."

"You should ask the robbers about the gold coins, what does it have to do with me?"

Izuki Qingtian said fearfully, "If you dare to pin any fabricated charges on me, I'll have no choice but to ask Attorney Fei for help."

Inspector Megure fell completely silent.

Last time, Izuki Karuta rescued Eri Kisaki who had been kidnapped;

The time before last, Izuki Karuta also saved Inspector Matsumoto and his beloved daughter;

Some time ago, Izuki Karuta even saved two of the Suzuki family's daughters;

Megure Juzo really didn't dare to provoke this guy.

Most importantly, they had no evidence to link Izuki Karuta to the missing gold coins.

Conan deliberately stayed until the last person to go in and give his statement.

During this time, he also took the opportunity to glean information from Inspector Megure, wanting to know if Izuki Karuta had any open or covert dealings with the three bandits.

The answer is naturally no.

The three robbers had no idea who Itake Karita was.

……

"Conan, you just said something like that, what are you supposed to do now?!"

After everyone had finished giving their statements, Kobayashi Sumiko grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and walked up to Itake Karuta.

"..."

Conan pretended to be stupid and didn't say a word.

"Apologize, Conan!"

"Just say 'I'm sorry, Mr. Izuki'!"

"Mr. Yizhu is our savior!"

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were all quietly trying to persuade and remind Conan.

"Never mind, it's nothing."

Izuki Shizuta waved her hand magnanimously, "Conan is always hostile towards me, and I'm used to it."

"Like last time, I saved Conan in a case, and he didn't even say thank you."

Hearing this,

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi all frowned and looked at Conan.

Saying thank you when you receive help is a basic courtesy that can be learned in kindergarten.

"I am so sorry, Mr. Yizhu, it is my fault as a teacher."

Kobayashi Sumiko pressed Conan's head down and bowed deeply to Itake Karuta:

"I will be even stricter with Conan from now on!"

Japan is a very polite country... at least on the surface.

Sumiko Kobayashi is Conan's homeroom teacher, so she has a responsibility to teach her students well.

“Miss Chengzi, I believe you can do it.”

Izuki Karuta helped Kobayashi Sumiko up and gently patted her shoulder.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the frustrated look on Conan's face.

Izuki Shigeta couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Conan really doesn't know how to choose his opponents; he actually dared to challenge him.

Izuki Karuta had long known that Conan liked to occupy the moral high ground and point fingers at others.

Now that Izuki Karuta has directly seized the moral high ground, how could Conan possibly outmaneuver him?

He didn't even need to lift a finger; Kobayashi Sumiko would teach Conan a lesson.

After leaving the police station, Itake Karuta took a taxi home.

Along the way, they discovered that there was a car following them.

That person's tracking skills were exceptional; it would be difficult to detect them without careful observation.

The people at the distillery wouldn't be that bored now, I guess...

Izuki Qingtian immediately extended her divine sense; the fifty-meter range was just enough to cover and scan the tracker, and she quickly came to her answer:

—FBI.

That's not surprising.

It's probably because of his mission to the United States last time that he was being watched.

After all, the distillery is full of undercover agents, so it's not surprising that his identity and mission were leaked.

Izuki Karuta didn't care; the FBI was much easier to deal with than the liquor company.

But then I remembered something.

Akemi Miyano seems to have an ex-boyfriend named Shuichi Akai, who was an FBI agent sent to infiltrate the liquor company.

However, Izuki Karuda knew Akemi's situation all too well; she didn't seem like someone who had ever had a boyfriend.

So why is there this rumor circulating in the distillery?

Izuki Karuta was a little curious and wanted to ask Akemi.

By the time they got home, it was already past eleven o'clock, and Mingmei was already asleep.

But the living room lights were still on, and Shirley was sitting on the sofa.

"Having another woman on the side?"

Shirley's tone was cold, and her eyes held a hint of disdain.

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

Izuki Karita smiled and asked in return.

"It's nothing, anyway, I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

Shirley gave a soft snort and looked away.

At this moment, Izuki Karuta had already walked to the sofa.

He bent down and pulled Shirley into his arms.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

Shirley struggled for a moment, but when she realized it was no use, she just stared at him coldly.

"This is my territory, and I just want to hold you."

"Anyway, it's no use if you refuse, Sherry."

"Izuki Qingtian said softly, and hugged her even tighter," Izuki Qingtian said.

A hint of shame and indignation flashed across Shirley's face, but in the end she could only close her eyes.

But after waiting for a while, Izuki Karita did not make any further moves.

He simply held Shirley quietly and lay down on the sofa with her.

"?"

Sherry slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

"I like you, Shirley."

"Izuki Qingtian said earnestly, her tone infinitely gentle," she said.

Shirley closed her eyes again, refusing to look at him.

Izuki Qingtian smiled and gently stroked Sherry's short hair.
