Conan: Ran turns into an elementary school student and calls me dad.

Chapter 27 Takagi: Waaah, how did I let the wolf into the house?

"Teacher, do you mean my dad was spying on me with binoculars outside, and then he got caught by the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Xiao Lan stared blankly at him, her face full of disbelief, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, "This father of mine really knows how to get me into trouble!"

"Yes." Kobayashi Sumiko was also somewhat amused and exasperated. "Anyway, let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department right now to testify for your father, clarify things as soon as possible, and get him out of there sooner."

With that, Kobayashi Sumiko opened the office door, preparing to leave with Ran.

But as soon as she opened the door, she found three little devils standing outside the office. Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were squatting at the door with their ears pressed against it, obviously eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Ms. Kobayashi, can you take us too?!" Genta was the first to get up from the ground, waving his chubby fists and shouting loudly.

"I never imagined that Xiaolan's father was actually the great writer Lin Xiuyi!"

Mitsuhiko also stood up, his face full of admiration, looking at Kobayashi Sumiko with anticipation.

"Ms. Kobayashi, we all really like Xiaolan's father's books. Could you take us to meet him?"

Ayumi blinked her big, watery eyes, reached out and hugged Kobayashi Sumiko's arm, gently shaking it and pleading, "Teacher, please take us! We promise to be good and not run around!"

"this……"

Sumiko Kobayashi checked the time. It was already the last class of the afternoon, and the elementary school students would be getting out of school soon. Taking them to the Metropolitan Police Department shouldn't cause any problems.

"Alright then, but you must listen to the teacher the whole way, and you're not allowed to run around or talk nonsense!"

Kobayashi Sumiko gave a stern warning, glancing at the three children to make sure they all nodded obediently before leading the four children toward the school gate.

Xiao Lan followed at the back, letting out a helpless sigh.

She had a strong premonition that she would probably be spending a lot of time with these three kids in the future.

……

At the Metropolitan Police Department, a group of middle-aged detectives had gathered outside the office where Lin Xiuyi was being held.

Takagi was sweating profusely as they surrounded him and subjected him to a series of interrogations.

"Is it true that that bastard Lin Xiuyi has shown up at the Metropolitan Police Department again?"

"Takagi! Answer me now! Where is that guy? I'm going to teach him a lesson he deserves!"

"Takagi, where's Sato? You didn't just leave our Miwako inside alone with that guy, did you?"

"Gentlemen, Officer Sato is interrogating Mr. Hayashi Hideichi inside. Please remain calm and composed!"

Takagi spread his arms, trying to stop his emotionally charged seniors. He now finally understood just how much hatred Lin Xiuyi had in the Metropolitan Police Department!

Seeing that the numerous criminal police officers were already unable to contain themselves and were about to roll up their sleeves and rush in to avenge the "loss of the goddess" from years ago,

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out, instantly drowning out the noise in the room.

"According to Article 198 of the current Japanese Penal Code, when the Metropolitan Police Department interrogates a suspect, at least two police officers must be present to prevent violations such as violence or intimidation that may occur during a solitary interrogation..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two adult women and four children walking towards the end of the corridor.

The woman in the lead wore thin-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored blue suit. Her face was beautiful and delicate, but her expression was unusually serious and cold. She exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, like a block of ice, making people feel cold just by getting close to her.

"Officer, you just said that only Officer Sato is interrogating my client inside, which clearly violates the provisions of the current Japanese Penal Code."

Eri Kisaki walked up to Takagi and looked at him sharply.

"On behalf of my client, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against the Metropolitan Police Department for improper interrogation."

"This seems to be that undefeated queen of the legal profession..."

A detective recognized Eri Kisaki's identity. The next second, all the seasoned detectives who had been so emotional just moments before instantly lost their composure and fled, disappearing into the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Takagi was left alone, nervously facing this lawyer with a 100% success rate.

Judging from the reactions of those senior colleagues, he naturally knew how difficult this lawyer was, so he dared not object.

"Well, Attorney Fei, I don't know how I can help you..."

Takagi forced himself to speak, his voice trembling slightly.

"Officer, I need to see my client immediately. Please open the door." Eri Kisaki interrupted him directly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"...Yes." Takagi responded timidly, then quickly turned and pushed open the office door. "Please come in..."

Before he could finish speaking, Takagi froze completely after seeing the scene in the office, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.

Behind him, Eri Kisaki's face also darkened, her red lips were tightly clenched, and her eyes were full of anger.

"Don't look!" Ms. Kobayashi reacted quickly, immediately reaching out to cover Ran's eyes, afraid that the child would see something she shouldn't.

But she forgot that there were three curious and mischievous children beside her.

"Wow..." Genta stared wide-eyed at the scene in the office, his mouth agape, his face full of surprise.

"Isn't Xiaolan's father a criminal? How come the policewoman can hold him? That's amazing!"

Mitsuhiko looked on with admiration. In his eyes, anyone who could get a policewoman to hug him must be an incredibly powerful person.

"...I never imagined that the great writer, Lin Xiuyi, would be this kind of person!"

Ayumi covered her flushed face, twisting and turning her body.

"He's hugging a policewoman in broad daylight..."

The reason why everyone reacted differently was that when they opened the office door, what they saw was not a serious scene of criminal police interrogating a suspect.

There, in the First Investigation Division, policewoman Sato Miwako was nestled pitifully in Hayashi Hideichi's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, her shoulders trembling slightly, constantly sobbing softly, her tears already soaking Hayashi Hideichi's shirt.

Lin Xiuyi gently patted her back, her movements tender, as if comforting a wronged child.

"Oh, Eri, you're here?"

Upon hearing the noise, Lin Xiu looked up, her face still bearing the gentle expression she had just used to comfort someone.

But when he saw the various expressions on everyone's faces, especially Eri's eyes that seemed to want to devour him, he instantly stopped smiling and hurriedly offered an embarrassed explanation.

"...Don't misunderstand, I just tried to comfort her, she really doesn't understand anything..."

"Damn it! Let go of Officer Sato!" Takagi rushed forward with red eyes and a face full of grief and indignation, trying to pull his dream girl out of Hayashi Shuichi's arms.

He regretted it and realized his mistake.

Inspector Megure was right after all. The man in front of us was not a helpful life mentor at all, but a lecherous wolf who only wanted to sneak into the sheepfold and steal sheep!

I was so stupid to tell Officer Sato all his secrets; it was like inviting a wolf into the house!
