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

"The Mihana Police Station needs police support, but it's just a routine area check. I can lead the team there, so you don't need to go."

Inspector Megure's thoughts are—

Xia Ye only comes to the Metropolitan Police Department a limited number of times, so let's not call on him for this simple support incident. We should use our resources wisely!

"Alright~"

Xia Ye didn't mention going again.

Since Inspector Megure didn't need him, he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

However, he will still work if needed.

After all, the Metropolitan Police Department pays him hundreds of thousands of yen in salary every month.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm leaving!"

The operation at the Beika Police Station wasn't particularly dangerous, but it was urgent. After saying goodbye to Natsume, Inspector Megure and his colleagues from the Third Division hurriedly left.

He truly deserves the title of a model worker; I've hardly ever seen him idle.

...

It is 4:30 pm now.

It was almost time for the Metropolitan Police Department to close.

However, departments like the Criminal Investigation Department and the Transportation Department, which are already struggling, also have the added burden of working overtime.

Traffic Division Office.

There weren't many people in the large office.

This is because.

People working overtime in the traffic department don't just sit in the office scrolling through their phones.

They need to go out on fieldwork.

Given Tokyo's accident rate, sometimes they even have to work until the early hours of the morning, which is indeed quite tiring.

Fortunately, Yumi didn't go out on fieldwork today, otherwise Natsume would have had to go out and search for her all over the city.

"．～Yumi~"

Xia Ye gently knocked on the door that was not closed.

Yumi sat in her seat, seemingly lost in thought.

Hearing the knock and Xia Ye's voice, she turned around, and her previously droopy eyes visibly brightened.

"Xia Ye? What brings you here?"

"I've come to visit you!"

Xia Ye observed that Yumi was indeed in a low mood today.

This is quite unusual for a girl who is usually cheerful and mischievous.

"Wow--"

"How thoughtful!"

Several other female police officers in the Ministry of Transportation's office started to jeer:

"But Officer Natsume, aren't you worried that Officer Sato will get jealous since you care so much about Yumi?"

"It was Miwako who asked me to come here~"

Xia Ye walked over and said with a smile, "What, are you guys trying to sow discord between me and Miwako?"

"How dare we!"

"I was just asking!"

"But Officer Natsume, you seem quite concerned about Yumi—"

"Could he actually have feelings for Yumi?"

"Wouldn't that be too much of a flirt?"

The policewomen were chattering and making a ruckus.

Xia Ye joked with them for a bit, then sat down next to Yumi and asked:

"Miwako said you're in a bad mood today?"

"What happened?"

"Someone bullied me!"

Our relationship has reached this point.

Yumi didn't stand on ceremony with Natsume either.

After all, she had indeed been wronged today and needed comfort and care, and Xia Ye was exactly the right person for her—

If it weren't for a few "third wheels" around, she might have already started acting cute; given her personality, she's capable of doing that!

"what happened?"

Xia Ye frowned. Traffic police officers from the Ministry of Transport always encounter all sorts of strange people and things when they go out on patrol.

Yumi has been a traffic police officer for two years, and under normal circumstances, she would never feel so aggrieved. Today, she must have encountered a special situation.

"Isn't he the young master of the Sumitomo Group—"

Before Yumi could speak, a policewoman said indignantly, "This guy ran a red light and Yumi caught him. Not only was he arrogant, but he also harassed Yumi. It's outrageous! And his traffic violation record was even cleared after he came back. Yumi is furious!"

"Oh?"

Xia Ye nodded gently.

This world is inherently unfair.

It's normal for the upper echelons of a conglomerate like the Sumitomo Group to have some privileges.

He's not some immature teenager who can't tolerate the dark side of society; as long as it doesn't affect him, it's fine.

Normally, it wouldn't be his problem if this young master from the Sumitomo Group ran a red light and had his traffic violation record cleared, but this guy actually started harassing Yumi—

Good eye, but unfortunately not very lucky!

"It's almost time, Yumi, let's go have dinner together. Let's invite Miwako too!"

"I still have to go to work..."

Yumi hesitated for a moment, after all, there were so many colleagues present.

"Ugh, what's the point of going to work!"

"Hurry up and go! We can stay here!"

Several female traffic police officers, who were clearly on good terms with Yumi, joked:

"But Yumi, you've got someone treating you to dinner. We're going to eat those awful cafeteria meals later, how pitiful!"

"Then I'll treat you to a big meal next time!"

The atmosphere in the Ministry of Transportation's office was very harmonious, much better than the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Logistics upstairs, so Yumi didn't stand on ceremony with them.

"No need to wait until next time—"

Xia Ye chimed in with a smile, "I've already ordered a buffet at Lin Ye's place. It'll be delivered in a bit. Don't be shy, everyone. Consider it Yumi's treat for a late-night snack~"

"Really? Punishment!"

Linye is a high-end buffet restaurant nearby, with exquisite and delicious dishes that are very popular with women. The policewomen, feeling indebted to them, became even more attentive: "Officer Xiaye, you can take Yumi away. Don't worry, having taken your bribe, even if you want to seduce Yumi, we won't tell Officer Sato!"

"Then I thank you on behalf of Miwako!"

Mei glanced at them, then pulled Xia Ye out the door:

"I'll tell Miwako!"

Chapter 449 Envy and Jealousy! He's won over both policewomen!

The floor of the First Investigation Division.

Forced entry into the Third Department Office.

Natsume and Yumi pushed the door open and came in.

Including Miwako, there were six police officers in the office, which was about one-tenth of the total number of personnel in the Third Department.

Despite its small size, the Metropolitan Police Department handles important cases. Most cases can be handled by local police stations throughout Tokyo without requiring headquarters to intervene.

As for why the Metropolitan Police Department is so busy every day—

Mihana, well, it's the big brother of Japan, those who know, know.

"Officer Xia Ye?"

Hearing the door open, the officers in the office looked over and greeted Xia Ye.

Although Natsume doesn't come to the Metropolitan Police Department often, she still receives all sorts of benefits.

Especially after her relationship with Miwako became widely known, with her help in maintaining it, not to mention the other departments in the first division, at least in the third division, the police officers all gave Xia Ye a lot of face!

"Everyone, I've come to take Miwako out for dinner—"

Xia Ye got straight to the point and didn't stand on ceremony: "The buffet at Linye will be here soon, so dinner is on me~"

"Wow, Lin Ye!"

The officers visibly cheered.

After all, while the buffet at Linye is delicious, it's a bit pricey, and you can't eat there every day. But it's a different story when someone's treating you—you can eat as much as you want!

"I want to eat Lin Ye too!"

Seeing that Natsume had settled things with her colleagues, Miwako packed her things, walked over to Natsume's side, and said with a smile:

"It's been so long since I've eaten there~"

"Officer Sato, why are you having a buffet with Officer Natsume? We need French cuisine and high-end Western food!"

"Exactly, self-service is anything but romantic!"

"I think going to eat high-end sushi would be a good idea!"

Several police officers made sarcastic remarks and egged them on.

To be fair, two of these people are fans of Miwako Sato.

However, they have now given up on the idea.

There's no way around it; if we bring Officer Sato into the mix, they'll choose Natsume too!

"Shall we go eat hot pot?"

"Not spicy!"

According to Yoko Okino's information, a new authentic Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant has opened in Zhonghua Street, and it looks delicious.

Although Xia Ye prefers spicy hot pot and sesame sauce, Miwako and Yumi can't handle spicy food very well, so Xia Ye took them to eat Chaoshan beef hot pot, which is known for its fresh and authentic flavor.

If I were to take them to eat Xia Ye's favorite extra spicy hot pot—they probably wouldn't even be able to sit down tomorrow—Xia Ye herself couldn't bear to do that...cough cough!

"I can actually handle spicy food quite well..."

After chatting with a policewoman for a couple of minutes, Yumi turned around and muttered under her breath, clearly unhappy that Natsume looked down on her ability to eat spicy food!

313 "Really?"

Xia Ye said with a half-smile:

"Shall we go to that Sichuan hot pot restaurant again?"

"Forget it!"

Yumi politely declined and chose to surrender.

She never wanted to experience that pain again after a whole day.

Luckily, I went with Miwako last time, otherwise people might suspect that Natsume did something to me...
