Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

After receiving affirmative responses from the two, Sato Miwako looked at Kitagawa Taki again: "Kitagawa, can you join me?"

Kitagawa Taki nodded.

The two drove away one after the other.

Miwako Sato originally wanted to go directly to the Italian restaurant opened by Shuji Kano, but after thinking about it carefully, she gave up.

She pulled over and called her mother.

Sato Miwako got straight to the point: "Mom, do you know Aunt Shenniao Chouzi's phone number?"

Sato's mother on the other side looked a little puzzled: "Hey, Miwako, why are you asking for her phone number?"

"There's something very important!" Sato Miwako didn't have time to explain.

"Wait a minute, I'll go look it over."

After waiting for less than two minutes, Sato's mother told Sato Miwako the phone number of Shenniao Chouzi.

Before Sato's mother could say anything, Sato Miwako hung up the phone in a hurry.

Sato House.

Sato's mother listened to the busy tone on the phone and put it down, "This child."

She shook her head and continued to sort out the pile of blind date information prepared for Sato Miwako. This time, she was determined to make Sato Miwako go on the blind date no matter what.

Miwako Sato is 28 years old. In her eyes, she is already a leftover woman among leftover women.

The key point is that Sato Miwako devotes herself to work all day long, which is completely contrary to her expectations of Sato Miwako.

In her opinion, it is better for women to be "good wives and good mothers". She hopes that Sato Miwako will become a traditional woman who takes care of her husband and children in the family.

Moreover, being a criminal police officer is very dangerous, and she doesn't want Sato Miwako to follow in her father's footsteps.

The last time Sato Miwako was hospitalized with a gunshot wound, she was almost worried to death.

From then on, she had the idea of forcing Sato Miwako to go on a blind date and began to find blind date candidates for Sato Miwako.

"Resigning from work after getting married" is a very common phenomenon among Japanese women.

……

Miwako Sato had no idea that her mother had already found a large number of blind dates for her.

At this time, she was calling the divine bird Diezi.

"Aunt Shenniao, do you know what Uncle Luye...'s nickname is?"

Shenniao Chouzi smiled and replied, "Shikano, your father gave him a nickname when he was in high school. I remember... it seemed to be called 'Kan'o'."

After receiving confirmation from Shenniao Chouzi, Sato Miwako glanced at Kitagawa Taki beside her and asked with a hint of trepidation, "Has Uncle Shikano ever been abroad?"

According to the provisions of Japan's Criminal Procedure Law, the statute of limitations is suspended when a criminal goes abroad, which means that the time the criminal is abroad will not be counted.

Shuji Shikano opened an Italian restaurant, so it is very likely that he has traveled abroad.

Shenniao Diezi said, "Yes, doesn't Shikano run an Italian restaurant? He went to Italy to study cooking for three years, so his restaurant business is so good."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako's face lit up with joy. Fifteen years plus three years is exactly eighteen years for prosecution.

In other words, today is the last day of the statute of limitations.

No matter what means she uses, she will bring Shuji Shikano to justice!

"Aunt Shenniao, don't tell Uncle Luye that I called you."

She was worried that the divine bird Chouzi would let the cat out of the bag and alert Shuji Shikano.

But Shenniao Chouzi misunderstood: "Miwako, are you also going to celebrate Shikano's fiftieth birthday tomorrow?"

Miwako Sato was slightly stunned, then laughed it off.

After hanging up the phone, Sato Miwako let out a long sigh. She was thinking about how to make Shikano Shuji plead guilty and be punished.

So many years have passed, and Shuji Shikano has not surrendered himself. It is obviously unrealistic to persuade him to surrender.

Seeing this, Beichuan Taki reminded: "Let's check his flight information first."

Miwako Sato nodded. This was the only way for now.

After checking, I found an unexpected discovery: Shuji Shikano's flight back to China was delayed.

The flight was originally scheduled for 9pm, but was delayed until after 12pm.

In other words, the actual statute of limitations should be tomorrow.

Upon hearing the news, Miwako Sato was very excited and gave Taki Kitagawa a hug excitedly.

Kitagawa Taki hugged Sato Miwako and patted her back gently.

Only then did Sato Miwako react and quickly let go of Kitagawa Taki.

She changed the subject and asked, "Could it be that Beichuan already knew this information?"

This was not an unfounded guess on her part. She could still vividly remember the magical skills that Kitagawa Taki had displayed last time.

"How is that possible?" Kitagawa Taki laughed, "It must be your father's spirit in heaven blessing us, Sato."

Miwako Sato glanced at Taki Kitagawa and didn't respond. What do you mean by "we"?

Kitagawa Taki asked: "Do you have a way to make Shikano Shuji confess his guilt?"

"Yeah!" Sato Miwako was confident.

She looked at her watch and said, "Let's go to his restaurant around midnight. He will close at that time."

Then, she suddenly realized something and apologized, "Beichuan, go and do your thing. I can go by myself tonight."

Beichuan Taki waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Sato Miwako nodded and asked, "Then should we go to Takagi and the others first?"

She thought of going to Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Renzaburo first to help investigate the arson case.

"Okay, I'll leave my car here." Kitagawa Taki asked again, "By the way, arson cases shouldn't fall under the jurisdiction of your Investigation Division, right?"

As Sato Miwako drove, she explained, "Someone was stabbed and found dead near the fourth arson scene. It's very likely that they witnessed the arson and tried to stop it, and were killed."

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Where did the arson attacks take place?"

Miwako Sato said: "All five times were at the station. The first time was in Ikebukuro, the second time was in Asakusa-bashi, the third time was in Tabata, the fourth time was in Shimokitazawa, and the fifth time was in Yotsuya."

"Hmm." Kitagawa Taki pinched his chin and asked, "Do you have a pen and a map of Tokyo?"

"Yes." Sato Miwako took a pen and a map from the side and handed them to Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki made a few marks on the map and quickly figured out the arsonist's next target.

Miwako Sato couldn't help but ask: "Kitagawa, did you find anything?"

"The arsonist's next target is Shinagawa District."

Kitagawa Taki unfolded the map and showed it to Sato Miwako.

Miwako Sato just took a glance and understood instantly.

First, circle the six stations, leaving Ikebukuro Station (the first) and Asakusabashi Station (the second) intact, and then connect Tabata Station (the third) and Shimokitazawa Station (the fourth).

Finally, if you connect Yotsuya Station and Shinagawa Station for the fifth time, it will form the character "fire"!
