Chapter 1047: This is also a choice between three?
"Godzilla, of course it's Godzilla!"
"Actually, I think the Kamen Rider one is pretty good too..."
"But my father and I watched it last weekend..."
Hearing Tang Ze's question, several children immediately answered and discussed excitedly.
For primary school students, it is indeed more fun to play with their own pocket money.
"Godzilla..." Tang Ze said while keeping an eye on the ticket in Shiratori Renzaburo's hand out of the corner of his eye.
Although his redemption voucher was not actually about to expire, and that was just an excuse Tang Ze came up with, they did use the movie redemption voucher to go out to see a movie today, so they still hadn't decided which movie ticket to exchange for.
But Tangze has already made up his mind that he will drag Shiratori to see Godzilla no matter what.
The combination of the Boy Detectives and the Godzilla movie sounds like a winning entry...
Shiratori Renzaburo looked at Tangze, who was surrounded by children and chatting with them with a smile on his face, with a subtle look of envy.
"Officer Shiratori, do you really like children?" Huihara Ai, who was standing at the side but not too close, raised her head. "The doctor has received the invitation. Is Officer Takagi going to get engaged to Officer Sato?"
These two sentences seem to have no connection, but the inner connection is extremely heartbreaking.
After fully receiving this message, Shiratori Renzaburo's expression fell.
"As I recall, you seem to be Tang Ze's distant relative, a cousin or something..."
"Ah, that's about it. His mother and my mother have some family connection."
"As expected of Tang Ze's sister..."
"Ok?"
What this sentence means is that even if you like children very much, the person you like will never have children with you, so just forget it.
It’s too cruel, kids nowadays…
"It would be better if I gave up earlier, right?" Shiratori Renzaburo laughed at himself, "I wish I could just give up on the person I was destined to be with so easily."
"It's fate?" Haibara Ai tilted her head, ready to listen to what Shiratori had to say.
No matter why Tang Ze ran out early in the morning, he came all the way to see Shiratori and appeared in Shibuya with him, which means that Shiratori was also one of the purposes of Tang Ze's trip.
Since this is Tang Ze's purpose, let's see if we can help.
He made himself so miserable last night and now he has to run around again today. This guy should at least worry less.
Seeing that the other children were busy talking to Tang Ze and didn't pay attention to him, Shiratori Renzaburo simply recounted the story of how he met the girl when he was a child.
When he told the story this time, his tone was slightly hesitant compared to the time he described it to Tang Ze.
Putting himself back into the guess that Tang Ze had made before, Shiratori Jinsaburo himself was not so sure this time whether the little girl in his memory was Sato Miwako.
Seeing an adult stealing a book, she stood up to stop him and argued with him, which is indeed very similar to Sato Miwako's upright character, but because she lacked experience in dealing with it, she was bullied. Later, she made a cute handicraft to express her gratitude, which is a bit different...
"I see, so that's why you became a policeman." After listening to his story, Conan nodded, "So you gave up your original dream and decided to become a policeman because you met a cute girl in elementary school."
"Hey, hey, why do you sound so weird when you talk about it..." Shiratori Renzaburo held his forehead with his hand.
"So the reason you think Officer Sato is her is because of her appearance? Or is there something else that makes you think it's her?" Conan ignored his protest and continued, "It doesn't sound like something Officer Sato would do when she was a child."
After all, at such a young age, Conan changed his life plan directly because of a cute girl. Now that he has Shiratori Jinzaburo, he really feels like a rich young man from a consortium.
How could an ordinary person plan his life like this? Even if there is no life plan at that age, he really chose his future career for a superficial reason. The margin in between is enough to prove Shiratori's family background.
only……
When Conan thought about how Sato Miwako would make small handicrafts as gifts for the boys who protected her when she was a child, he felt a little creepy.
No, this can't be Officer Sato... This is totally different...
"The main thing is, they do look alike..." Shiratori Renzaburo stroked his chin, "Even Officer Sato was cute when he was a kid, right?"
"Do you mean she is not cute now?" Huibara Ai raised her eyebrows.
"No, that's not what I meant..."
"Who told you not to ask her name?" Conan shrugged. "Apart from her appearance, it seems you have no way of confirming who she is."
"Yeah, cutting straw wrappers into small decorations is pretty popular among girls, right?" Huihara Ai said objectively, "It's hard to identify someone based on this feature alone. This isn't Cinderella. If you ask all the girls in the city to cut your hair, the one who looks most like you is your sweetheart, right?"
It’s not that Japanese little girls like to play with straw wrappers, but mainly because of the strict garbage classification requirements, there are almost no trash cans on the roadsides in Japan.
A child bought a Coke and took the straw out of the wrapper. There was no place to throw the remaining wrapper, so he had to put it in his pocket.
At this time, it is normal to play with wrapping paper and make something.
Besides, it was just a chance encounter when we were kids.
Looking at Shiratori herself, she may not have much affection or feelings for Officer Sato.
"I think, instead of discussing such long-ago events, you should consider ignoring her identity. What do you think of Officer Sato himself?" Huihara Ai crossed her arms and said in a reasonable tone, "A chance encounter in childhood can indeed start a relationship, but for adults, love still has to consider how you feel about the other person now, right? Not to mention what a child will be like after many years, even for adults, after being in love and married for many years, there are many cases of changing their hearts, getting bored, and having broken relationships..."
Shiratori Renzaburo glanced at her, his expression a little dazed.
"What's wrong? Was I wrong?" Huibara Ai tilted her head.
"...No, you are right. But I didn't expect that children nowadays are so, uh..."
"They say girls mature early, don't they?" Tang Ze, who handed the three children some money to buy snacks and popcorn, came over and laughed, "What Ai said is indeed right. Since you are very likely to have found the wrong person now, then ignoring your childhood connection and ignoring this filter of yours, what do you think of Officer Sato now?"
"What's your idea..."
Shiratori Renzaburo held his chin and thought seriously for a moment.
Ignoring the possibility that Satou Miwako is that girl, and only considering Satou herself...
"She's a pretty and lovely lady, but maybe, um, not my type," Shiratori Renzaburo said very honestly.
"That's it." Huihara Ai rolled her eyelids slightly, "You don't like Officer Sato that much at all."
"It's just because she's a policewoman, the most beautiful girl in the police force, so you think you should pursue her." Conan also understood what Haibara Ai wanted to express, and echoed.
There is no experience of living together, only memories of the past, and there is no spark between us after working together for several years...
This is not a normal relationship.
"Even if you didn't make a mistake and succeeded in your pursuit, considering that Officer Sato is indeed a very good person and you are also a serious and responsible person, perhaps this relationship can really continue... However, the hazy and dreamy filter of childhood can't last a lifetime." Tang Ze patted Shiratori's arm, "It sounds like a pity to spend so much effort and end up in failure because of a failure in running-in."
Shiratori opened his mouth and instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully about Tang Ze's words, he felt that it seemed to make a lot of sense.
It seems more terrifying to find out that you are not suitable after you are together than to choose the wrong person.
"...So," seeing Shiratori lost in thought, Tang Ze turned his gaze away, "Why don't we watch Godzilla too?"
Shiratori Renzaburo: “……?”
"Why are you looking at me? You can't just stand here and do nothing, right?" Tang Ze pointed at the backs of the three children who had already run away, "Anyway, just take this opportunity to relax. At least it's fun to be with the kids, isn't it?"
Then I encountered a case or something on the way, and it was a wonderful and fulfilling day.
Shiratori Renzaburo, whose thoughts were still immersed in the troubles of love, held his forehead and sighed.
Tang Ze always plays the role of a listener who needs a little help but can give you enough emotional value in return, which makes people almost forget the fact that he is also a real child...
"Okay. Although I think it's really weird for me to go watch a Godzilla movie at my age..."
"Just think of it as you accompanying me to watch it?" Tang Ze pointed at the large poster of Godzilla and smiled his usual, non-aggressive smile. "This seems to be a childhood memory for many people. I'm also curious."
Shiratori was reminded of Tang Ze's background again, and realized that this was really a child without a childhood: "..."
It's over, how can anyone refuse this...
"Will you guys watch the show with us?" Yoshida Ayumi, who had just come back, was delighted when she heard what Tang Ze said. "Then I'll give you my Coke and I'll buy myself a new one—"
As she spoke, she handed the Coke in her hand to Tang Ze.
Below the edge of the paper cup, there is a circle of straw wrapping paper cut into a flower shape, surrounding the cup lid, which looks very cute.
"Hey, Ayumi, you can do this too." Conan, who had just talked about this, couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you." Tang Ze, who knew the answer well, took the Coke handed over by Ayumi with a smile and touched the pink cherry blossom on it. "Did you make this yourself?"
"Yes, this is made of straw wrapping paper." Ayumi smiled shyly, "I see the customary packaging here is pink, and it's very cute..."
Tang Ze picked up the Coke and looked at the decorations carefully.
You can see distinct creases and neat cutting marks on the top, and even a concave tip on the front of each petal.
The length of the straw wrapper is just enough to make a circle, and the end is tied up with a plastic strip that is used to stick to the drink spout, like a wreath.
"Ohh, is it made with nail clippers?"
"Yes, just tear off the paper edge of the straw and fold it up..."
"It's very cute. You can teach me, then you can buy one and I'll make one for you."
"okay!"
The children who received full recognition ran away happily. Tang Ze straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief.
It must be said that the fact that Ms. Kobayashi was able to become an elementary school teacher must be closely related to her excellent manual and housework skills, including the cherry blossom decorations she has made since she was a child, which are all very distinctive.
Because they were made with nail clippers, even the edges of the cherry blossoms were imitated very closely, and the rounded curves are quite cute and hard to mistake.
This saves a lot of trouble. I don’t even need to go through the case. I can just...
Tang Ze turned his head with a smile, and then saw a devastating expression on Shiratori Renzaburo's face.
"...What's wrong, Officer Shiratori, why is it so sudden?" Tang Ze looked at him in confusion.
What's wrong? Did he suddenly realize that he had recognized the wrong person and couldn't accept it after seeing the cherry blossoms made by Ayumi? That shouldn't be his expression.
"She, she is, as I remember, Conan's classmate, right?" Shiratori Renzaburo stared at the Coke in Tang Ze's hand for a while and asked reluctantly.
"Yes, he is a classmate of mine and Haibara." Conan was also confused and nodded.
"...How old is she this year?" Shiratori Renzaburo's voice trembled slightly.
Conan and Haibara Ai still looked a little confused, but Tang Ze, who was quick to react, had already understood and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
As expected of criminal investigators, your brains are not much worse than those of detectives...
"You're not thinking, 'I won't meet her daughter' or something like that..." Tang Ze nudged him with his elbow, interrupting his train of thought. "For handicrafts that elementary school students can do, shouldn't you think of kindergarten or elementary school teachers first?"
"Nowadays, prime-time TV dramas no longer air melodramatic romance dramas." After reacting to Tang Ze's answer, Haibara Ai held her forehead speechlessly.
"I, I just..." Shiratori Renzaburo coughed dryly when he realized that he had misjudged his thoughts.
"I understand, I understand. If you feel that your love is hopeless, you will instinctively imagine the worst, right?" Conan's mouth twitched. "It's better to save this kind of divergent thinking and creativity for when you are investigating a case, Officer Shiratori."
"No, we can't really identify it just by hand. Like you said, there are many girls who can do this..."
Shiratori turned his head camouflagingly and looked at the other people coming and going in the cinema.
When he turned around, he saw a girl next to him who was getting a ticket. There was a circle of paper flowers hanging on the Coke in her hand.
Judging from the print on it, it also looks like straw wrapping paper.
What's even more outrageous is that if you look closely at her face behind the sunglasses, she actually looks a bit like Miwako Sato...
Shiratori Rensaburo: "..."
The expressions of several people were synchronized and they were speechless for a moment. Finding this scene inexplicably humorous, Haibara Ai couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Cinderella is here to try on the glass slippers."
Tang Ze took a quick look with his third eye, shook his head, and bit the straw of his Coke.
"I'm really desperate about this world that is obsessed with choosing one of three." He said vaguely.
