Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Akemi Miyano was absolutely furious.

She knew it! How come Cherry arrived so quickly? She had just told Shiho that she was going to call him over, and he rushed over in a flash.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this guy was planning to have both sisters...

Well, it turned out he was indeed interested in me, though not sexually, which I should be thankful for...

But you can't treat yourself like a monkey show performer either!

Just the thought of myself in the shop, having that awkward, toe-picking conversation with Ireland, being scrutinized frame by frame and watched repeatedly by Shiho and Cherry...

Akemi Miyano felt a wave of exhaustion, her sense of shame constantly surging within her.

Her face was flushed, and she was panting heavily, as if she were about to explode at any moment...

"Sister, older sister..."

Seeing that her older sister was quite upset by her and her husband, Shirley weakly spoke up.

"Are you... alright...?"

"call--"

Akemi Miyano let out a long breath and collapsed into the chair as if her whole body had gone limp.

It's alright, let her destroy herself...

I was just released, and my sister and brother-in-law are making a fool of me. This feeling...

It would be better to stay locked up in the villa...

At least, although you can't go anywhere inside the villa, you'll have enough to eat and wear and your life won't be in danger.

Although it's not there now, I feel like the company is about to collapse...

"Cough cough,"

Sherry coughed lightly twice, offering a kind word of comfort.

"Sister, you should think positively."

"Although we watched the whole thing and didn't miss a single detail, at least we couldn't hear any sound..."

Didn't you hear anything?

Akemi Miyano was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt her lost spirit return.

It's good that she didn't hear any sound; judging solely from facial expressions, she felt she wasn't being too abstract...

I probably didn't die...

"I can read lips."

Lin Jiayou spoke calmly, silently stabbing Miyano Akemi's already wounded heart.

puff--

Akemi Miyano nearly coughed up blood, and her eyes lost their luster once more.

Snapped--

Hearing Lin Jiayou's sarcastic remark, Shirley couldn't help but angrily slap his shoulder.

She glared fiercely at Lin Jiayou.

Can't you speak properly?!

Sorry, I don't know how...

Lin Jiayou returned his gaze with a calm expression.

Sherry clenched her fist, then reached out her wicked hand towards Lin Jiayou's...

Lin Jiayou instinctively pulled in his stomach, dodging the fatal blow.

A hint of panic, rarely seen in his usually calm eyes, surfaced...

'What are you going to do!'

'I'll punish you!'

Sherry licked her lips, clenched her fist tightly, and waved it in front of Lin Jiayou.

Lin Jiayou's heart also wavered.

His gaze unconsciously swept over a certain part of his body, his heart wavering...

This won't do! I've never practiced any special techniques like the Golden Shield or Iron Shield, I can't withstand this...

Taking advantage of Lin Jiayou's distraction, Shirley attacked again.

Lin Jiayou casually blocked it.

Their hands were intertwined across the seats...

Akemi Miyano, sitting in the back seat, was even more devastated.

Not content with making a fool of herself, they even had to force-feed her in front of her...

Shiho, you've changed. You don't love your sister anymore...

The atmosphere inside the car took a very strange turn.

Woo-wah—woo-wah—woo-wah—

Just as Lin Jiayou and Miyano Shiho were feeding Miss Akemi in the front row, police sirens sounded from ahead...

The two immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at the oncoming vehicle.

The car wasn't a police car, but a white Mazda with a siren on it.

Lin Jiayou narrowed his eyes.

If his judgment is correct, the bomb threat inside the store is most likely a hoax, intended to draw police attention to the location...

Now that the police are here, he wants to see what the guy who filed the report is really up to...

Lin Jiayou focused his attention, carefully watching the movements of the white Mazda ahead.

When Lin Jiayou saw the two policemen get out of the car, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Aren't those Inspector Megure's two younger brothers, Takagi and Shiratori...?

How come Inspector Megure's jurisdiction is expanding so much? Now even bombing cases are under his control...

...............................

Jingle Bell--

Officer Shiratori and Officer Takagi got out of the car and went straight into the restaurant.

The two men showed their police identification and spoke to the shop manager who approached them.

"Hello, this is a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. They've come to handle a bomb incident here."

"Hello, officers,"

The store manager bowed repeatedly, nodding and scraping.

"They just told us on the phone, thank you for your hard work, officers."

"fine,"

Officer Shiratori seemed unwilling to elaborate, stating directly,

"Let's begin the inspection."

"Hopefully this is just a prank call."

"Yes, yes, check first, check first."

The store manager kept nodding.

Officer Shiratori and Officer Takagi each took one side and began a thorough inspection of the store, starting from the middle.

The place where Ireland was eating was exactly within the area that Officer Shiratori was inspecting.

He walked over with the instrument, and when he saw Ireland still calmly feeding himself beef rice, occasionally taking a sip of Calpis, he was slightly taken aback.

Shiratori rubbed his eyes, looking bewildered as he glanced back at the shop manager and then at Ireland, who was calmly eating.

what's the situation?

Weren't they supposed to evacuate the crowd?

What? Why are there still people eating here?

Officer Shiratori was completely bewildered. He instinctively wanted to warn Ireland to get out of there immediately, as it was far too dangerous.

But then they saw Ireland turn around and stand up.

The two looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment.

Shiratori Ninzaburo spoke first.

"Mr. Masuyama, what are you doing here?"
