Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

"Find me?"

056 Miwako Sato

Inspector Megure glanced around and, seeing that all his detectives were watching, leaned close to Hoshimiya Hare and whispered, "It's about Tsukikage Island..."

Hoshimiya Yu suddenly realized and laughed, "Inspector Megure, this is all thanks to you and the police, it has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, but he immediately suppressed his excitement and pretended to be reserved, saying, "How about I mention you, Hoshimiya, in the report?"

The Tsukikage Island incident was a good opportunity to vindicate the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but unfortunately, some outsiders knew the truth.

This person is Hoshimiya Yu.

If we don't share some of the credit with Xing Gongyu, we're afraid he'll be unhappy and reveal the truth to the reporters.

Without evidence, just talking won't put the police in a difficult position, but it will eventually leave a stain on their record.

But if they separate, the reporters outside will say it was all thanks to others, and that the police were completely useless...

Inspector Megure was considering how to persuade Hoshimiya Yu, but unexpectedly, Hoshimiya Yu took the initiative to refuse the credit, which made him very happy.

Hoshimiya Yu can understand Megure Juzo.

In this life, all we seek is fame and fortune.

There are very few people like him who don't want to be famous.

Why did Shinichi Kudo become the savior of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? Part of it was the praise from reporters, but more so it was his own desire for the limelight.

If the Tokyo police had stolen credit for solving the case from Shinichi Kudo, he would have already exposed it to reporters.

Now that he's shrunk, he's worried about the Black Organization, which is why he hasn't continued to steal the spotlight. Otherwise, the sleeping detective Kogoro Mouri wouldn't be the one to appear.

Instead, it's the world's number one, the super genius elementary school detective, Conan Edogawa.

He was overjoyed, but Inspector Megure was still a little uneasy, worried that Hoshimiya Yu was just being polite.

"Really? Brother Xinggong? How about I apply for a bonus for you as a reward for helping the police solve the case?"

Hearing about the prize money, Hoshiguma Yu was somewhat tempted.

In the past, he would have definitely agreed, but now a little money can no longer sway him.

"Really, it's not necessary, Inspector Megure."

Hoshimiya Yu didn't want to get involved with Inspector Megure on this matter, so she took the initiative to say, "I came here today for something else."

He mentioned that Masami Asai wanted to change her name.

As for the reason, he didn't say, and Inspector Megure didn't ask either.

There are many suspicious points in the Tsukikage Island incident. When Inspector Megure heard that Mami Asai wanted to change her name, he already had a guess. At the same time, he also understood why Yu Hoshimiya was so concerned about this matter.

However, there is no evidence, and it is impossible to overturn the case now.

Without hesitation, Inspector Megure selectively forgot his memories.

"Brother Hoshimiya, Dr. Asai will probably be living with you in Beika Town from now on."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"To change your name, you need to go to the legal affairs bureau in the town. If you don't live in Beika Town, you'll need to go somewhere else," Inspector Megure explained simply.

"Sato, take this young lady to the Legal Affairs Bureau in Beika Town."

After giving instructions to Sato Miwako, Inspector Megure turned to Hoshimiya Yu and said, "Brother Hoshimiya, would you like to come along, or sit here for a while? It'll be quick."

With Miwako Sato, a policewoman and deputy inspector from the Criminal Investigation Division, changing her name was a piece of cake.

As for the name that Masami Asai originally registered under, where she is from, and how to change her other documents, these are not issues either.

"No, I'd rather stay with Miwako-nee."

After looking at the room full of men, Xing Gongyu decisively chose to go with the two beauties.

Take a walk more often; consider it a form of exercise.

"Haha, okay, then I won't keep you any longer. I'll treat you to a meal another time."

Inspector Megure laughed heartily and patted Hoshimiya Hayao's shoulder forcefully.

The three left the Metropolitan Police Department, got into Miwako Sato's police car, and headed to the Legal Affairs Bureau in Beika Town.

"Xiaoyu, who is this?"

On the way, Sato Miwako asked curiously.

"I was so busy chatting with Inspector Megure that I almost forgot to introduce them," Hoshimiya Yu slapped his forehead and quickly introduced the two.

“Asai Masami, I met her a few days ago when I went to Tsukikage Island... um, she's a good friend.”

Upon hearing that Hoshimiya Hayao had been traveling on Tsukikage Island a few days ago, Sato Miwako seemed to understand why Inspector Megure was showing even more enthusiasm than before.

The fact that the major case was resolved so quickly must be related to Xing Gongyu.

The whispered conversation between Inspector Megure and Yui Hoshimiya earlier was probably about this matter...

Although she didn't know the details of the case, how could she not know the capabilities of her superior?

The beautiful policewoman kept her suspicions to herself. After all, all those arrested this time were drug dealers, and none of them were innocent. She couldn't be bothered to investigate the hidden details.

"Just good friends?" Sato Miwako teased, "Xiaoyu, you're not being honest."

Women's intuition is frighteningly accurate, and since Hoshimiya Yu didn't particularly hide her relationship with Asai Mami, it was easy for her to see through it.

Hoshimiya Yu didn't explain, but said frankly, "Miwako-nee is really impressive to become a police inspector at such a young age."

"That's right, Chengmei is my girlfriend."

Even though she had heard the answer she wanted, Miwako Sato suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

No, what does Xiaoyu having a girlfriend have to do with me...?

We're just good friends...

After following Conan around and getting involved in several cases, Hoshimiya Hayao gradually became familiar with the detectives of the Criminal Investigation Division.

During the Shinkansen bombing case, he showed off his skills and won the favor of most of the criminal police officers.

Especially Sato Miwako, whose [handsome] talent, coupled with Hoshimiya Yu's initiative to approach her, has led the two to the point where they call each other by their names affectionately.

It was also because of her close relationship with Sato Miwako that many detectives were unhappy with Hoshimiya Yu.

Among them, Wataru Takagi was particularly intensely jealous, resulting in a jealous interaction.

This is the first time the two have met after [Handsome] has been upgraded to [Celestial Beauty].

Upon meeting him, Sato Miwako felt that Hoshimiya Hato seemed to have become even more handsome and had a better figure, which made this strong, single woman, who had been single for many years, waver for a moment.

Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Miwako Sato took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Hello, my name is Miwako Sato, and as you can see, I am a police officer."

“Detective Sato.” Mami Asai nodded and replied, “I used to be a doctor on Tsukikage Island, but I’m currently unemployed.”

After getting to know each other a little, the two started chatting.

Both were independent, career-oriented women, and about the same age, so they surprisingly got along well.

Miwako Sato is 28 years old and is one of the few female police inspectors. Mami Asai is 26 years old and has also become a licensed female physician.

If it weren't for revenge and further studies, he would probably be a chief physician by now.

The next level after chief physician is vice president and president.

In Japan, doctors at the level of hospital director hold a very high status, with income and influence exceeding that of police inspectors.

The conversation between Miwako Sato and Mami Asai wasn't just a simple chat; it was mostly Miwako Sato asking questions and Mami Asai answering.

This is to make the subsequent procedures go more smoothly.

After learning more about the situation, we arrived at the Beika Town Legal Affairs Bureau.

With Miwako Sato leading the way, the process was incredibly smooth, and there was no need to wait several business days.

It took less than an hour to get all the new documents.

From this moment on, the beautiful doctor begins a new life.

Both Makoto Aso and Makoto Asai are now a thing of the past and will never appear in her life again.

057 A major event at the Metropolitan Police Department?

It's worth mentioning that when registering her address, the beautiful policewoman fell silent upon learning that Makoto Asai and Hayao Hoshimiya were living together.

Sato Miwako adjusted quickly, but she still couldn't escape the observation of Hoshimiya Hayao and Asai Makoto.

Needless to say, Xing Gongyu has the Eye of Truth; unless you're a professional actor, very few people can fool him.

Masami Asai's intuition is more of a woman's instinct.

While chatting with Sato Miwako, she keenly sensed that the beautiful policewoman in front of her was always intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about Hoshimiya Hayao and her affairs.

"Since you all live in Beika Town, I won't see you off."

Leaving the Legal Affairs Bureau, Sato Miwako said, "The higher-ups are taking the Tsukikage Island case very seriously. We need to finish it as soon as possible so as not to delay the important event at Inspector Matsumoto's house a week later."

"Something big happening in Inspector Matsumoto's family?"

Hoshimiya Yu frowned. Inspector Matsumoto was Inspector Megure's superior, and he remembered several incidents involving the latter's fate.

The most memorable of these is the Matsumoto Sayuri wedding incident, also known as the June Bride murder case.

Sayuri Matsumoto is the daughter of Inspector Matsumoto, and a gentle and beautiful music teacher.

She had even tutored Ran and Sonoko, only to be poisoned by her husband, Toshihiko Takasugi, on their wedding day...

Thinking of this, Hoshiguma Yu couldn't help but be speechless.

Matsumoto Sayuri is still a hopeless romantic; even knowing that Takayama Toshihiko poisoned her, she still drank the poison willingly.

After being rescued, she said she would wait for the other party to be released from prison, implying that she had forgiven him.

If this is indeed the case, then Hoshimiya Yu will definitely try to steal it.

Matsumoto Sayuri, a kind, beautiful, and somewhat naive woman, is the daughter of a police inspector. How could she be allowed to fall for a twisted idiot like Takasugi Toshihiko? He should be the one to cherish her.

Incidentally, it also allows me to establish an even stronger connection with the Metropolitan Police Department.

As for whether Inspector Matsumoto would be angry if he didn't give Matsumoto Sayuri a formal title, Hoshimiya Yu wasn't worried at all.

At that time, the love-struck Sayuri Matsumoto will definitely be able to win over her father.

After all, he didn't even pursue the case of Takasugi Toshihiko, who poisoned and murdered Matsumoto Sayuri.

Thinking of this, Hoshimiya Yu decisively asked, "Miwako-nee, is Inspector Matsumoto's daughter getting married?"

"Xiaoyu, your information network is quite impressive." The beautiful policewoman looked at Hoshimiya Yu in surprise. This matter was currently only known within the Tokyo Police Department and had not been publicized yet.

They wanted to wait until the Moon Shadow Island incident was reported before extending an invitation to people from all walks of life.

That's why she only talked about the important things and didn't specifically mention the wedding.

When a police inspector's daughter gets married, almost everyone in Tokyo with a little status attends.

Police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department are always present.

It's good to use the Moonshadow Island incident to shut up the outside reporters, so that some people won't have anything better to do than nitpick all day long.

It also serves as a congratulatory gift for Inspector Matsumoto, making the wedding even more prestigious.

Hoshimiya Yu smiled but didn't explain. She would go with Ran and Sato Miwako would naturally fill in the blanks herself.

………………

After seeing Sato Miwako off, Hoshimiya Hayao and Asai Mami headed towards the apartment.

On the way, the two happened to run into Xiaolan.

The three of them returned to Hoshimiya Hayao's apartment together. Ran and Asai Mami went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Hoshigumi Yu, like a winner in life, leaned back in her chair and watched the two beauties getting along harmoniously in the cramped kitchen.
