In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Where is Miwako?

Natsume looked at Miwako.

"Me~"

Miwako glanced at Yumi, whose mood had noticeably improved, and teased her:

"I'm not going to be stubborn, I want something non-spicy!"

"Then let's go!"

Seeing that Yumi was about to start arguing with Miwako, Natsume quickly pulled them both out of the Department 3 office.

"Why do I feel like Officer Natsume and Officer Miyamoto are getting along so well?"

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, one of the officers muttered curiously in a low voice, "Officer Xia Ye was holding her hand as they left..."

Why should we care so much?

Another officer waved his hand and complained, "Even if there's some strange relationship between them, it's none of our business. Instead of thinking about these things, let's save our energy for this delicious meal!"

"makes sense!"

Others echoed.

In Japan, it's commonplace for capable people to have several lovers; everyone's pretty much used to it—didn't you see that Officer Sato didn't react at all?

...

At the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Before Xia Ye, Miwako, and Yumi even stepped out the door, they saw a familiar figure.

"Sister Green?"

Miwako looked at Megure Midori, whose pretty face was also filled with surprise, with surprise. "What's wrong with you?"

"Megure is working overtime today, so I made some pork rib soup, and there's also some for you, Miwako—" After explaining to Miwako, Megure Midori looked at Natsume with her beautiful eyes, covered her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't expect Natsume to be here too. I should have known about my bigger lunchbox!"

"We'll just drink it—"

Xia Ye took the food box from Megure Midori and casually touched her fair hand. "Inspector Megure just took some people to help out at the police station downstairs, but I've already arranged their dinner, so you don't need to save the pork rib soup you made for him!"

"is it?"

A charming look appeared between Megure's eyebrows. She did not resist Natsume's act of touching her hand in front of Miwako and Yumi at all—after all, Miwako already knew about her relationship with Natsume, and Yumi probably knew the same.

That way, there's no need to pretend to be reserved.

Anyway, I'm not some chaste and virtuous woman.

"Then we can ignore him!"

"..."

Yumi and Miwako naturally witnessed Natsume touching Mitsuru's hand without any attempt to hide it.

Miwako already knew that this scoundrel had dared to meet with Midori-neechan in both of their presence at Inspector Megure's house, so it wasn't a big deal that he was touching her hand in front of her now...

As for Yumi—

Although she knew that Inspector Megure's wife was having an affair with Natsume, she never expected that this scoundrel would dare to make advances right in front of the Metropolitan Police Department—wasn't he afraid of being seen?

"We're about to go eat hot pot, why don't you come along?"

Looking into Midori's alluring eyes, Natsume felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but now was not the time. She would wait until after dinner to properly soothe her lonely heart!

"it is good!"

...

Flower Street, hot pot restaurant.

The three women chatted away.

Xia Ye put all the ingredients into the pot.

The meat from all cuts of high-grade Wagyu beef is very fresh, and it looks delicious.

Of course, using Wagyu beef doesn't mean this Chaoshan hot pot isn't authentic. After all, Chaoshan doesn't produce beef locally. Whether a hot pot is authentic or not has nothing to do with where the beef comes from. The key is fresh ingredients, a clear broth, and satay sauce!

Wow! It's delicious!

This was Yumi's first time eating such a light hot pot. It was similar to Japanese sukiyaki, but much tastier and suited her taste perfectly.

“As long as it’s delicious!”

Xia Ye saw that she was enjoying her meal.

The meal served its purpose.

As for himself, although his favorite is the spicy hot pot from the north, which must be dipped in sesame sauce, the original flavor of this ingredient is also very delicious. There is no need to choose one over the other; both are great!

"Now let's talk about that young master from the Sumitomo Group."

Although Yumi's mood had improved considerably, Xia Ye hadn't forgotten how she had been bullied during the day. Using his privileges was one thing, but daring to flirt with Yumi was something Xia Ye was not about to let off so easily!

"forget it..."

The Sumitomo Group is, after all, a major conglomerate in Japan, and Yumi felt it best not to offend them too much, and besides—

"This afternoon, Sonoko said she was going to get someone to teach that guy a lesson, but I refused..."

"Garden?"

Xia Ye wasn't particularly surprised.

Given the ridiculously close relationships among the women around her, it's understandable that Sonoko would want to stand up for Yumi.

Compared to the Suzuki Group, the Sumitomo Group is no match.

Moreover, Sonoko is the first in line to inherit the Suzuki Group.

As for that so-called young master, he is just one of many third-generation members of the Sumitomo Group, and it is still uncertain whether he has the right to inherit.

Even if Sonoko hired someone to beat him up, the Sumitomo Group would never cause trouble for Tomoko!

"Forget about Sonoko; at most, she'll just mess with that guy. Tomoko is tough, but she won't stoop to the level of a junior—"

Xia Ye smiled and said, "So I'll do it!"

"Yumi, don't refuse!"

Miwako smiled and looked at her best friend, "Our guy is really going all out to stand up for his woman right now, so don't dampen his enthusiasm!"

"All right!"

Yumi nodded. Actually, she was still a little annoyed. Since Xia Ye was willing to stand up for her, it meant he cared about her, so she should just enjoy it.

"What are you going to do?"

Miwako said with some curiosity, "Let me tell you, although Yumi suffered a little grievance this time, strictly speaking, it's not a big deal. Don't go too far, like you're going to kill her whole family!"

Do you see me as such a cruel person?

Xia Ye was both amused and exasperated; he considered himself to be quite magnanimous.

(bedg) "You're involved with women, that's why!"

Miwako's beautiful eyes were filled with a smile; Natsume was indeed a very good-tempered guy.

Aside from serious crimes like drug trafficking, murder, and other serious offenses, he rarely resorted to violence.

Even if an ordinary person offends him, he might just laugh it off. However, when it comes to the women around him—

She's not so easy to talk to!

Of course, as one of the women by his side, Miwako still enjoyed this feeling—as for justice and the honor of the police—these were certainly important, just not as important as Natsume.

"Of course! For you, I would stand against the world!"

Xia Ye's tone was childish and immature, which then drew reproach from the three women:

"Too disgusting!"

"We're not like Xiaolan and her friends, those are little girls. You should use those words to tease them!"

"Exactly, I got goosebumps!"

"hateful!"

Xia Ye was speechless. "Normally, at times like this, these women should be so moved that they throw themselves into your arms. Why are you all complaining?"

"Okay, okay~"

"That's it!"

Miwako reached out and patted his head, leaned over and gave him a perfunctory kiss on the cheek, then quickly changed the subject:

"Tell me quickly, how are you going to get revenge for Yumi?"

"Are you trying to coax a child?"

The actions Miwako just did were exactly the same as the way Natsume's mother used to coax him when he was little. How awful! Miwako used to be so cute, but now she's been corrupted by Yukiko and the others!

"Xia Ye, hurry up and tell me!"

Yumi was holding Natsume's arm on the other side, her pretty face obedient and her voice sweeter than ever.

"I want to know too!"

Xia Ye was most vulnerable to a girl's coquettishness. He pinched her little face, then opened his hand, revealing a paper figure cut from white paper in his palm.

"what is this?"

Miwako curiously picked up a corner of the paper figure and examined it closely. She discovered that it was just an ordinary paper figure, and it seemed as if it could be torn in half with a flick of the wrist.

"Could it be some kind of cursed artifact from the land of China?"

"China does indeed possess this type of cursed item—"

Paper dolls and straw dolls, used in witchcraft and sorcery, were quite popular in ancient China. The crown prince of Emperor Wu of Han was one such victim of these practices. However—

"This is considered an advanced type of that."

Natsume took the paper figure from Miwako and handed it to Yumi: "Hold this paper figure and imagine what that guy looks like!"

"okay!"

Yumi did as she was told.

Then everyone watched in disbelief as the paper figure, which was originally just a piece of paper, swelled up like an inflatable balloon, quickly stained with various colors, and finally turned into a miniature figure, which was none other than the young master of the Sumitomo Group named Junzo Sumitomo!

This guy is fairly decent-looking, but there's a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

This shows that this guy was definitely not being groomed as an heir.

Leaving aside Sonoko and Ayako, the Suzuki Group heirs who are incredibly approachable and down-to-earth, the heirs of other large conglomerates are generally not too brainless. Even Shiratori, who isn't an heir, just has a bit of a rich kid's arrogance.

Only small conglomerates allow their children to run wild, since they are not yet at a position where they need to build up their influence.

"Eh, so disgusting!"

Seeing that the paper figure in her palm had turned into a "figurine," and a rather unpleasant one at that, she disgustedly threw it on the ground, not even bothering to put it on the table—she was afraid of soiling the table and losing her appetite...

"Is this alright?"

Megure was a little curious as the miniature version of Junzo Sumitomo fell to the ground with a thud.

Japan also has this kind of curse item. If you tamper with the paper doll, the target of the curse will also suffer the same damage. If that's the case, wouldn't Sumitomo Junzo be in a terrible fall if the paper doll fell from such a height?

"This isn't some low-grade junk!"

Xia Ye smiled and took out another piece of blank paper: "Here's the key point: that paper figure is just a demonstration prop. This paper is the real thing, the Destiny Letter. Whatever is written on this paper will come true for Sumitomo Junzo, just like it's influencing his destiny!"

"???"

Without a logbook, Megure Green's eyes widened. She knew Natsume was powerful, and she wasn't even that surprised when he mentioned the cursed item. However, the incredible power of the "Letter of Destiny" still shocked her!

"I have some amazing abilities, I'll tell you about them in detail later!"

Xia Ye didn't mind telling Megure this kind of thing. For Japanese women, the stronger you are, the more submissive they will be, and the more obedient and compliant they will be—even Tomoko is no exception, let alone Megure.

"I understand!"

Megure Midori nodded obediently.

Judging from Miwako and Yumi's reactions, they clearly knew about these things as well.
