"Hey, what you said is too strange, isn't it?" Conan was listening, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and interjected: "It sounds like you think it would be better for him to push others."

"If he had deliberately killed his friends in order to escape, although he was despicable and vicious, he was still completely bad. Officer Sato was loyal to his friendship and kept his secret before he died.

Pity."

Kitahara Sosuke said: "He decided to commit a crime, and when he was discovered, he committed suicide in despair; after killing his friend, he regretted it and started a new life, but the future of Officer Masayoshi Sato was interrupted by him.

, who can make up for the pain of his family and friends? Officer Sato's father believed that he would surrender until his death, but what did he do? Did he confess? Did he secretly make amends between Officer Sato and the man who was killed by him?

The family of the guard who was killed? None. He opened a restaurant, went to Italy for further study, and tried his best to escape legal punishment. He lived a comfortable and fulfilling life, and occasionally said a few words in his heart about the friend who died for him.

, arranging flowers and placing incense sticks, I feel that I have repented and suffered from carrying the past, and can enjoy life with peace of mind... This kind of person commits crimes without the determination to commit crimes, and atones without atonement.

Even the confession is hypocritical and tramples on the sacrifice and trust of Officer Masayoshi Sato. Isn’t it disgusting?”

Feeling his publicized disgust, Conan's originally shaken mood due to Shikano Shuji's pain immediately changed.

It seems...that is indeed the case.

"But he also said just now that he was going to return all the money to the bank after the incident is over, so I think..." Conan said hesitantly.

"He said... do you believe it?" Kitahara Sosuke looked at him sideways.

Conan blinked: "How do you know he is lying?"

Kithara Sosuke shook his head and said: "I think he did have this intention when he felt sorry for Officer Masayoshi Sato. But just like he once wanted to commit suicide and gave up quickly, this person... except

Apart from being very persistent in escaping the prosecution period, I may not be that decisive in other matters."

"If we really want to return those hundreds of millions of yen to the bank, when can't we do it within the next 18 years? Why do we have to wait until the prosecution period has passed? Is there someone who tied his hands and feet or monitored his actions so that he can't do anything about it?

Did he secretly exchange money? There is only one reason for not repaying it, and that is that subconsciously he still wanted to keep the money for his own use, perhaps in order to obtain a reduced sentence when he was arrested by the police."

"I think what he just said was from the bottom of his heart. Maybe he is not the kind of person you said, but he really intends to do that." Conan retorted.

It's not that he really thinks Kano Shuuji is excusable, but he feels that Kitahara Sosuke thinks of people too darkly. Conan has always held a very good expectation for human nature, so he doesn't want Kitahara Sosuke to think of everything.

They are all described in such a cold and realistic way.

"That's just what he thinks today. Tomorrow, he may think - 'If this money is returned, everyone will know that it was me who robbed the bank, and it was because of me, Mr. Sato, that he died. In this case

, Miwako, Saruwatari, what will they think of me? What will my wife think of me? How should I face these friends? In that case, even if the police don't arrest me, my life will be completely over.' Thoughts like this,

Do you think that's possible?"

Conan was speechless.

Although he only got along with that Shikano Shuji for a short period of time, based on Conan's understanding of that person, this is indeed what he would have thought.

Such a major life-related event must require the determination of a strong man. Once hesitation arises, he will find countless reasons for himself to delay. If you delay, the original determination will fade to nothing, and the matter will naturally not work out.

That’s it.

"So -" Kitahara Sosuke finally concluded: "Officer Masayoshi Sato trusted the wrong person, and Kano Shuji was even more despicable than he imagined. The person he sacrificed his life to save was such a guy, it was so worthless."

Sato Miwako, who had been listening silently, suddenly sighed: "I think even if my father knew that he was such a person, he would not hesitate to save him. Because the value of life has nothing to do with who he is. Since he is a policeman, he must

Protect ordinary people, even if he is a criminal suspect."

Beiyuan raised his finger and tapped his forehead, made a non-standard salute, and praised: "You are indeed a just police officer. I feel sorry for myself."

"The word justice... cannot be said casually, it should be kept in one's heart - these are the last words my father left for me." Miwako Sato smiled: "Kitahara-san, I know.

Those words you just said were actually meant for me, thank you, I won’t be confused anymore.”

Looking at her bright smile, Kitahara Sosuke nodded and said: "That's how it should be. There is no need to sympathize with the prisoner because of his tears, let alone feel that he cannot face his family and friends because of this. You are a policeman,

You are also a victim, just hold your head high and carry out your own justice, don't let your kindness become too cheap."

"I understand. To be honest, Kitahara -" Sato Miwako put her hand on his shoulder, bent down and looked at him and smiled: "You are only so young, how can you be so good! If I weren't ten years older than you

, I will pursue you."

Kitahara Sosuke knew she was joking, so he said seriously: "Actually, I don't mind if I'm ten years older."

After saying that, both of them laughed.

Conan held his breath and looked at this, then that, with a doubtful expression and his face was a little red.

——No way? Real or fake...

Sato Miwako suddenly noticed that there was another child here, coughed dryly, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "By the way, what I said before is still valid now. Kitahara, you helped me solve the mystery, and you also captured the secret of that year.

Prisoner, so I also want to grant one of your wishes - any wish is fine! Is there anything you want?"

She blinked her eyes, looking a little playful.

"I'm not someone who takes favors in return, and my previous jokes don't need to be taken seriously," Kitahara Sosuke said.

Sato Miwako narrowed her eyes and asked, "Then you want me to be regarded as a person who goes back on my word?"

The two looked into each other's eyes. After staring at each other for a moment, Kitahara Sosuke surrendered: "Okay, okay, since you insist..."

He looked around, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a button."

Sato Miwako was a little confused, but she still pulled a button from the hem of her clothes and handed it to him, warning at the same time: "This cannot be regarded as a wish!"

CONAN: ...Did these two reverse each other's roles?

Eat melon online, the more you watch, the more interesting it becomes...

Although the age gap is a bit big, sister-brother romance is very popular recently, isn't it?

Conan suddenly thought that he and Mao Lilan were exactly ten years apart in appearance, and suddenly felt a little stuck in his heart.

"Got it." Kitahara Sosuke said, opening a folding multifunctional knife from the keychain he carried, and then carved four katakana on the small button.

"キ...ャ...ッ...プ..." Conan read out word by word, and finally connected them: "——Bottle cap? What does it mean?"

"This is a token." Kitahara Sosuke explained: "If one day, when you see this button, you will help me unconditionally once, do you agree?"

Feeling that seriousness and prudence, Sato Miwako also became serious. She thought for a while and did not agree easily. Instead, she said: "Things that violate the law are not allowed."

"Of course." Kitahara Sosuke said.

"In that case, I agree." Miwako Sato smiled simply and said, "I will always remember this. If you need help - just ask."

"Okay, that's the deal!"

The two raised their fists and bumped, making this seemingly ridiculous promise.

……………………

After Sato Miwako also left, Kitahara Sosuke turned his head and saw Conan's strange eyes.

"You...are you really...really..." Conan asked hesitantly.

To be honest, the two seemed to be a perfect match just now. Thinking of Officer Takagi who had been working hard to pursue Sato Miwako, Conan secretly sympathized with him in his heart.

But later, after Kitahara Sosuke and Officer Sato made a button agreement, they felt that it didn't seem like that anymore.

By the way, does a one-year age difference really make such a big difference? Conan thinks he is quite smart, so why can't he always understand Kitahara Sosuke's operations?

"It's all a joke. Can you think of something else?" Kitahara Sosuke flicked his brain. He saw the boy's round head tilted up and then straight back. He found it interesting and rubbed it.

"By the way, where are those little devils? Are they not with you?"

"Oh, Yuanta and the others felt that the case had been solved and there was no point in staying here, so they went back first. They should all be home by now, right?"

"That's it..." Kitahara Sosuke was about to nod when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He frowned and thought carefully for a while, and then realized what made him feel strange - Shikano Shuji had been arrested, but until now, the mission card did not remind him that the mission was completed.

This is true for both side missions.

He touched the card in his pocket to make sure it had not been overheated today. He turned to Conan and asked, "You know Yuanta's phone number, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Conan asked.
