"Ms. Reiko, thank you for your hard work in the shoot!"

At the shooting site, a staff member came forward with a towel and said to Reiko Ogawa who was sitting nearby drinking water and taking a break:

"Towel please!"

"Thanks."

Reiko Ogawa glanced at the other person, smiled, took the towel, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows, an oval face, and skin as smooth as a baby's. Although she is in her early thirties, she looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen. Coupled with her tall and slim figure, it is no wonder that Reiko Ogawa has been active as a model.

There was only one set of photos left in the shoot and the staff was replacing the background board. Taking this opportunity, Reiko Ogawa had a five-minute break.

She sat next to him, playing with her cell phone with her head down, her eyes fixed straight ahead, and didn't notice Kogoro Mouri who was investigating her not far away.

After a while...

Reiko Ogawa suddenly stood up, handed the towel to her assistant, went to the bathroom, and when she came back, she was on the phone.

"What the hell are you talking about! How could I be that kind of person!"

"That's enough! I don't want to hear you anymore!"

The quarrel became more intense. The staff stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Reiko Ogawa. They saw that her brows were full of anger and her face was gloomy. It was unknown who she was quarreling with.

Soon, she hung up the phone, turned it off, and sat down on the chair angrily. Just when she was about to drink some water, she found the cup was empty.

"Hey! Go get me some water!"

“Yes…Yes!”

The assistant standing beside her didn't dare to offend her, and trotted out of the recording room with a towel.

"What? You're so angry at your assistant..."

Kidd and Conan, who were not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but complain:

"Big stars have big tempers."

"Who did you say she was talking to on the phone just now?"

"It's probably Akutagawa."

"I think so, too."

Discord and conflicts between couples are not uncommon in Kid Conan. Even Eri Kisaki lives separately from Kogoro Mouri!

The most urgent task is how to trick Bourbon into the cafe and let him see 'Akai Tsutomu'...

At this moment, Bourbon came back. After contacting Rum, his attitude obviously changed. Although he still investigated the clues of Ogawa Reiko's cheating with Maori Kogoro, he became taciturn and no longer expressed his opinions.

Needless to say, Conan knew that this was Rum's order.

The boss just wanted to test Kogoro Mouri's ability.

Time passed by minute by minute. 20 minutes later, Maori Kogoro came back with Bourbon after visiting the place:

"Come on, the shoot is about to end, let's go downstairs and wait for Ogawa Reiko."

When investigating a mistress, the most important part is to observe the behavior patterns of the person being investigated. Can cheating be called cheating if it is not a tryst with the lover?

Based on his own experience, Kogoro Mori planned to secretly follow Reiko Ogawa to see where she would go after the filming was completed.

"Ogawa Reiko will definitely go to the yoga studio to exercise after finishing the filming."

Maori Kogoro looked at the information recorded in the notebook and said:

"She has a private yoga instructor named Yoichi Murakami. When practicing yoga, Ogawa Reiko will spend an hour alone with this instructor in a room..."

"An hour?"

Conan said without hesitation:

"I remember that when practicing yoga, there is bound to be physical contact, so this Murakami Yoichi is a big suspect!"

"Yes, I have listed him as a key suspect."

Maori Kogoro said in a deep voice:

"But according to my past experience, the more superficial the suspects are, the less likely they are to be cheating partners. Even if they are, they are unlikely to use yoga time to have an affair."

This is too obvious.

Even a fool can guess that Reiko Ogawa might have an affair with her yoga instructor, so how could the detectives before Kogoro Mori not guess it?

in other words....

Yoga instructor Yoichi Murakami has been investigated many times, but to no avail.

"High-end hunters often appear as prey."

Maori Kogoro thought calmly:

"Before me, Akutagawa hired many famous detectives to investigate Ogawa Reiko but to no avail. There are only two possibilities behind this situation."

"1. Ogawa Reiko did not cheat on her husband at all. In this case, the prerequisite does not exist, and naturally there is no evidence of her cheating."

"2. Ogawa Reiko is hiding very well and won't reveal her true identity easily... It looks like it will take a lot of time."

Ever since Kogoro Mori became famous, he seldom accepted commissions to investigate mistresses. The reason was simple: to investigate mistresses, one usually had to spend a lot of time tracking the suspect, but in the end the reward was only a few, which was hardly any money at all.

Compared with other commissions with high remuneration, investigating mistresses is a thankless job, so Kogoro Maori gradually gave up this business.

After being used to eating meat, how can you swallow bran?

Just as Kogoro Mouri and his companions were walking towards the door and were about to leave the recording room, Kid and Conan saw the secretary who had left 20 minutes ago running back, panting, holding several bottles of mineral water.

Ding-a-ling!

Ding-a-ling!

At the same time, Kogoro Mouri's cell phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw who was calling, then immediately pressed the answer button:

"Inspector Megure? What happened?"

"What?!"

"Akutagawa Ichimoto is dead?!"

The voice was full of horror, and Maori Kogoro opened his mouth in disbelief. Only after listening to what Megure Jusan said did he put down his phone and said to Bourbon:

"Something big happened at the Akutagawa family."

"I heard that."

Bourbon frowned:

"How did Akutagawa Ichimoto die?"

"It is said that he had a sudden heart attack and died despite failed rescue efforts. Inspector Megure and his team just arrived at the scene and are investigating. They found us because they were wondering who had been to the villa today."

Maori Kogoro took a deep breath and said a little depressed:

"What on earth is going on...Mr. Amuro, please call Miss Reiko over. Her phone is turned off and Inspector Megure can't contact her."

"clear."

Bourbon nodded and walked towards Reiko Ogawa who was taking pictures. After briefly explaining the situation to the staff, he successfully reached Reiko Ogawa and told her the bad news.

Reiko Ogawa was shocked as if by a bolt from the blue. She stood there in a daze, the color draining from her face, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"Please accept my condolences, Miss Reiko."

Bourbon comforted her:

"The police ask you to return home immediately. We also need to go to the villa, so why don't you come with us?"

Reiko Ogawa did not respond. Under Bourbon's persuasion, she followed behind in a daze, staggering in front of Kogoro Mori.

"Is my husband...really dead?"

“You’ll know when you get to the scene.”

Maori Kogoro sighed:

"Let's go, Miss Reiko."
