Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Teng Zhifan.

When facing Eri Kisaki and others, he was mostly just being polite.

However, his attitude became much warmer when he was with Yukiko Kudo.

"Yes, it's me," Yukiko Kudo nodded in response.

After confirming, Fujieda Shigeru introduced himself:

"I am Fujieda Shigeru, who asked Mr. Yusaku to come and help resolve this intimidation incident."

"He said he was busy and couldn't get away, so he told me that his wife would come to help."

"But I really didn't expect her to be such a young and beautiful woman."

Who doesn't like to hear people praise them?

Especially women.

This is especially true for Yukiko Kudo, who has a naturally cheerful personality.

Upon hearing the praise, she cupped her face in her hands, beaming, and said:

"No, there aren't any!"

"Huh? Doesn't he recognize your mom, this big star?"

As soon as he asked the question, Guangyou smiled and answered it himself:

"That's true, your mother has been retiring for almost twenty years."

But Kōyū sincerely exclaimed that Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki's looks were simply too stunning.

It's hard to believe they're almost forty.

Looking at Kwangyu, who seemed to be asking and answering his own questions, and was still sighing about something.

When asked, Conan flashed his signature crescent-shaped eyes, looking rather speechless.

"So you don't know her?"

Then, Eri Kisaki introduced her celebrity friend:

"She is the former screen star, the once extremely popular Yukiko Fujimine."

"Fujimine" was Yukiko's surname before she married Yusaku Kudo.

Although he didn't recognize him, Fujieda Shigeru still looked surprised.

He explained very politely:

That would be very rude of me.

"I'm not very familiar with that kind of thing."

He also told everyone how he met Yusaku Kudo:

"I met Mr. Yusaku at a gathering of mystery novelists."

“I talked to him about this incident when we bumped into each other in Los Angeles a few days ago.”

"I lacked the ability, so I hoped he could help me find that person."

A gathering of mystery novelists?

"So, this man is also a mystery novelist?"

Putting away his helpless expression, Conan looked at Fujieda Shigeru with great interest.

He is a mystery enthusiast.

Reading mystery novels is naturally one of his hobbies.

His study is filled with mystery novels.

Although he didn't watch it all, he considered himself to have watched quite a lot.

"Fujieda Shige..."

He thought about it carefully and then confirmed that he had not read this person's mystery novels.

Noticing this, Eri asked:

"So, you also write mystery novels?"

"Yes, that's right."

After nodding in acknowledgment of this identity, Fujieda Shigeru said somewhat awkwardly:

"But I haven't written a detective novel as best-selling as his 'Dark Baron' series yet."

"Right now, I'm just an unknown novelist."

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

"That's not true." Yukiko Kudo offered a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, "Maybe one day, your novel will be a bestseller too."

"I hope so."

Without refusing the bowl of chicken soup, Fujie Shigeru smiled and said:

"Moreover, after my sister passed away, I am now just a tenant living under someone else's roof."

"This is quite different from Mrs. Suhua, the new wife who spent ten million yuan to hire a Maori detective in order to protect her husband's life."

"I asked the other party to help me with this on a voluntary basis."

"Even if there is a reward, there is no need to spend ten million yuan."

Fujieda Shigeru was smiling when he said this.

However, his words were full of dissatisfaction with Fujieda Sukasa hiring a detective for a huge sum of ten million.

First, humble yourself.

Then she compared herself to Fujieda Soka, saying that she could get help without spending a penny.

He's an old-timer.

Although he didn't say things like, "No one would really hire a detective for ten million, right? No way!"

But it definitely has that flavor.

Besides being a mystery novelist, Shigeru Fujieda has acquired a new title:

Onmyoji - Beginner.

"Tch..." Fujieda Suka pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Everyone else knew about these things, but only Yukiko Kudo was hearing about them for the first time.

"Ten million?"

This amount is not small.

Although she currently has at least ten million yen in her account, she hasn't reached the point where she considers ten million yen a small amount of money.

She looked at Eri Kisaki and asked in surprise:

"Kogoro is making so much money now?"

"I never expected this!"

When this matter was mentioned, Eri Kisaki only felt helpless.

She said:

"If only it were that profitable."

Upon hearing this, Yukiko Kudo knew that there was more to the story.

But now is not the time to ask.

So she suppressed her doubts and decided to ask later.

The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of Fujieda Shigeru.

Without further ado, he offered to lead everyone to the study to examine the evidence:

"Let me take you all to the study first."

“Okay,” Yukiko Kudo nodded in response.

...

On his way to the study, Kōyū received a text message from Ai.

The content consists of a photo and a very short message.

The contents of the photo look like Ai's dinner tonight.
