Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato

Relationship analysis
Wataru Takagi (高木 渉 Takagi Wataru) is an officer who works with Meguire and has a crush on Miwako Sato which is somewhat awkwardly requited. He first appeared in the anime in episode 21/22(Lights... Camera... Murder), and made his first manga appearance in Volume 18 Chapter 171 - It Must be Similar. His last name, Takagi, is used as the first name in the English Manga.
Takagi has an appearance of ineffectual nervousness, but he's not as useless as he seems. He is quick to assess a situation and take immediate and decisive action when necessary are points in his favor. He also appeared to know (or at least suspect) about Conan/Shinichi's secret identity and problem; this is seen when he makes close observation to Conan in some investigation and in the end of Volume 36 or Episode 304 when Conan wants to defuse the time bomb. Like Sato, he sees that Conan is extraordinary. When Conan and Takagi have a talk about the time bomb, he asks Conan "Who are you?" Conan says that he'll tell him, but only in the afterlife.
Miwako Sato (佐藤 美和子 Satō Miwako) is a young female officer who works with Meguire. Her father was also a police officer who was killed on duty when she was only six years old. Her former partner Matsuda was killed in an explosion. She made her debut as a cameo appearance in Volume 19 of the manga or Episode 130 and was properly introduced in Volume 21 or Episode 146.
Tough, energetic, and a dedicated police officer that her "dates" tend to turn into police investigations, but she also can be quite lively and cheerful. Sato is hugely popular with the male members of the police department, but to their chagrin she, albeit hesitantly, begins to develop feelings for her colleague Takagi. A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force.
