Sato: Fujino, Put on a Show for Him!

Could they have been from the same family?

Or perhaps they were immediate relatives?

Otherwise, it was unlikely that a mere word to the Minister of Foreign Affairs could make the whole matter disappear.

But how could someone like that be connected to Fujino...?

Sato Miwako felt that idea was simply too absurd.

How could some girl he happened to run into be the family of a former prime minister?

Besides, there was their status to consider.

Although this kid's family had indeed once been influential, he was just a High School Detective now.

Could he marry into her family or something?

"..."

Sato Miwako fell silent for a moment, then suddenly furrowed her brow.

That was actually possible!

That Ooka Momiji they had met in Kyoto definitely had some improper intentions toward this kid Fujino.

As for how she could tell...

All she could say was that it was a woman's intuition—the kind of intuition that let her see it from a single glance!

There was no way she was wrong!

Thinking that, she secretly glanced at Fujino beside her, swallowed hard, and wondered, Could the condition she agreed to with this kid have been for him to marry into her family?

The entire way passed in silence.

The changing expressions on Sato's face made Fujino's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, before long, the two cars returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.

They had just sent both people into the interrogation room to "protect" them.

As soon as they stepped outside, Fujino and Sato ran into Matsumoto Kiyochika.

"Manager Matsumoto."

The two greeted him.

Matsumoto Kiyochika glanced at the interrogation room. "You two did well. You found the witnesses to this case so quickly, and even rounded up the target's cleaners in one sweep."

"That was all thanks to Fujino."
