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

Sato Miwako took the champagne first and said, "I can't give it to you unless you explain the situation clearly."

Kano Shuji looked at Miwako Sato in confusion.

Sato Miwako raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "My father once said that when a suspect is about to confess, his mouth will feel dry.

If you give them water at this point, the suspects will often stop telling you the truth."

Shuji Shikano lowered his head again. He didn't go to the counter to get some water, but glanced at the clock from time to time.

Miwako Sato stopped talking and just confronted Shuji Shikano.

With Shuji Kano feeling uneasy, it finally arrived at midnight.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Miwako Sato placed the champagne in front of Shuji Kano and said, "You win."

Then she looked at Kitagawa Taki who was sitting next to her.

The two stood up and left the restaurant.

But at this moment, the silent Shuji Shikano spoke.

This is Sato Miwako's plan. Most criminals want to talk, and when Shikano Shuji thinks the statute of limitations has expired, he will most likely tell the truth.

Shikano Shuji said in a deep voice, "I didn't mean to kill that guard. I just wanted to fight him off, but I didn't expect to hit him in the vitals."

Miwako Sato demanded, "What about my father? Wasn't it you who pushed him at that intersection?"

Shikano Shuji shook his head and said, "No, it was actually your father who pushed me that night."

He raised his head and recalled, "When your father discovered all the truth, he was taking me back to the police station. I thought about my future life and was terrified, so I rushed to the road.

It was your father who pushed me away, otherwise I would have been the one to die under the truck."

A look of pain appeared on Shikano Shuji's face: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the chance to start a new life."

After saying this, Shuji Shikano felt much relieved.

Miwako Sato always thought that it was a robber who pushed her father, but she didn't expect that it was her father who was trying to save someone...

However, this is indeed her father's style, and he lives up to his name "Justice".

"What's the point of using the stolen, blood-stained money to start a new life?" She looked at the exquisitely decorated restaurant.

Shuji Kano robbed the bank of 550 million yen.

"You're wrong!" Shikano Shuji's voice suddenly rose, his emotions aroused. "I didn't spend a single cent of that money. I hid it all in the refrigerator at home. I wanted to return it once the statute of limitations was over!"

Afraid that the two wouldn't believe him, Shikano Shuji pounded the table and shouted, "Everything I said is true!!"

Sato Miwako's lips curled up into a smile and she looked at Kitagawa Taki: "Kitagawa, did you hear everything?!"

Beichuan Taki nodded and smiled, "I heard it. He said he hid the money in the refrigerator at home."

Shuji Kanno looked at the two of them in a daze, not understanding what they meant.

Miwako Sato pulled out a recorder from her pocket. "That money is the best evidence. I will try to sue you within a day!"

Beichuan Taki added fuel to the fire, "I know an ace prosecutor who can keep it safe."

"Within one day? Sue?" Shuji Shikano was confused.

Miwako Sato explained, "You probably don't remember, but on the day you returned from Italy, there was a typhoon and your flight was delayed, right? It was delayed until 12:04 in the morning."

Shikano Shuji's face turned pale. It was over, everything was over.

"That means the statute of limitations ends today." Sato Miwako winked playfully.

Shuji Shikano leaned back in his chair, let his hands hang down, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect that after all these years, I still couldn't escape..."

Seeing that Shikano Shuji showed no remorse, Sato Miwako frowned and said, "My father could have told me the name of the criminal that night, but he believed you would turn yourself in, and he didn't say anything until the end."

However, Shuji Shikano did not react at all. He would rather die than go to jail, so of course he would not surrender himself.

"Come with us." Sato Miwako said no more.

……

Miwako Sato took Shuji Kano back to the police station and applied for an arrest warrant and a search warrant.

The case money from that year was found in Shuji Shikano's home.

Sato Miwako expressed her gratitude: "Today's success is all thanks to you, Kitagawa."

"You're welcome." Beichuan Taki waved his hand, but then smiled and said, "Sato, didn't you make a condition?"

"Ah?!" Sato Miwako exclaimed, and then she remembered what she had said before, and her ears turned red.

"This..." She looked at Kitagawa Taki, but was unable to speak.

She always felt that Kitagawa Taki's smile was malicious and somewhat evil.

"How about this." Kitagawa Taki pinched his chin, looked at Sato Miwako, and then said: "Sato, please treat me to a meal."

Miwako Sato secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The look in Kitagawa Taki's eyes really made her feel a little unbearable. She was afraid that Kitagawa Taki would make some demands that she could not meet.

"No problem! When I'm done with this, I'll treat you to a nice meal!"

Beichuan Taki smiled and said, "Then I'll wait."

……

After a busy day, Miwako Sato returned home tired.

But I saw my mother sitting on the sofa in her pajamas.

"Mom, why are you still sitting in the living room at this time?"

Sato's mother's eyes were red, and she looked like she had just cried. "I got a call from Inspector Megure, saying that you, Miwako, have caught the robber from that year!"

She was so happy to hear the news that she couldn't help crying.

The eighteen-year-old cold case has finally been solved!

However, Inspector Megure did not explain in detail on the phone, so she asked Sato Miwako.

Sato Miwako recounted her experience today, "Thanks to Kitagawa, otherwise he would have escaped legal punishment."

Sato's mother, who was originally very angry about what Shuji Kano did, suddenly became interested in Kitagawa Taki after hearing Sato Miwako mention Kitagawa Taki repeatedly.

She asked tentatively, "Who is that Beichuan Taki?"

"He's a very famous detective who often helps us solve cases."

Miwako Sato took off her coat and threw it on the sofa, then walked to the refrigerator, poured herself a glass of ice water and drank it all in one gulp.

Although she is a capable policewoman outside, she is also very relaxed at home.

In the words of Sato's mother, that is "unkempt"!

But at this time, Sato's mother had no time to scold Sato Miwako.

She asked again, "How old is he?"

Sato Miwako said casually, "Probably around twenty-five or twenty-six."

"He's two or three years younger, but that's not impossible..."

Sato's mother murmured softly.
