"A big star would actually ask this bumbling detective for help? Ha... He must be blind!"
Conan pondered to himself, while furrowing his brow and eavesdropping on the sounds inside from the doorway.
What puzzled him most was: how did Yuzuru end up at Ran's house? He had a bad feeling about it.
...
"What? Someone is actually following and spying on the smart and lovely Yoko!"
After hearing Yoko Okino's explanation, everyone in the room understood what had happened.
It turns out that whenever Yoko Okino returned to her apartment, she would always notice that the furniture seemed to have been moved.
Not only that, she would also receive a series of strange and unsigned photos, all of which were scenes of her performances and daily life.
Even more chilling is that sometimes she would receive phone calls from people who didn't speak.
After Yoko Okino finished recounting what had happened, Kogoro Mouri slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared:
"This guy is absolutely a peeping tom and a stalker! How dare he sneak into Miss Yoko's boudoir? This is a place even I, the great master, have never had the chance to see! If I catch him, I'll give him a good beating!"
As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists tightly and raised them high above his head.
At this moment, Eiichi Yamagishi, who had been sitting quietly next to Yoko Okino, stood up and spoke:
"Mr. Mori, please keep a low profile. We don't want too many people to know about this."
The reason they chose to come to the detective at night to help solve the problem was because they didn't want to make a big fuss about it and let everyone know.
After all, if the outside world were to find out that popular idol Yoko Okino was secretly hiring a detective, her many enthusiastic fans and reporters from all walks of life would surely flock to her like a tidal wave.
At that time, all sorts of rumors and false accusations will come flooding in.
"And who are you?" Upon hearing what the other person said, Kogoro Mouri was slightly taken aback.
In fact, his entire attention was focused on Yoko Okino, and he didn't notice that there was another person standing next to her.
Seeing this, Yuzuru gently tugged at Kogoro Mouri's sleeve and whispered to him:
"Uncle Mori, this is Ms. Yoko's manager, Mr. Eiichi Yamagishi."
Upon hearing Yuzuru's words, Kogoro Mouri was taken aback for a moment, then patted his chest repeatedly and said confidently:
"I understand! Leave this job to me with confidence. I will definitely catch that stalker!"
Kogoro Mouri's confident words calmed Yoko Okino down a bit, and she breathed a sigh of relief, saying:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Mori. Also, I've recently spotted a mysterious figure dressed in black, but every time I turn around, he vanishes without a trace."
“Alright, the situation is urgent. Let’s go into Ms. Yoko’s apartment now and begin our investigation. This kind of thing absolutely cannot be delayed,” Kogoro Mouri replied firmly.
"Okay." Seeing Kogoro Mouri's decisive actions, Eiichi Yamagishi, who had been dissatisfied, stepped forward to lead the way.
......
"People dressed in black? Could it be them...? No, I have to go with them!"
Conan, who had been secretly eavesdropping by the door, immediately tensed up after hearing Yoko Okino mention that she had witnessed someone dressed in black. Without hesitation, he took off running downstairs.
Inside the house, Yuzuru Nanami still has some memories of the case, after all, he was an important character who appeared in the third episode!
What is most surprising is that this person, who has endured the "Grim Reaper" aura for decades, remains unharmed and without a scratch.
However, what Hanyu Nan is curious about is: since Conan did not appear at the scene as in the original plot, will Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend still commit suicide as in the original plot?
Just as he was deep in thought, thanks to his keen senses, Yuzuru Nan noticed hurried footsteps outside the door, and someone was running down the stairs.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Yuzuru walked to the window of the office and looked down.
Sure enough, what came into view was Conan and his three members of the daredevil gang, struggling to stuff the incredibly large Genta into the trunk of the car.
"Hey! You guys listen up, we're going to a big star's house soon. No one is allowed to make a sound on the way, understand?"
Conan's face turned bright red as he and Mitsuhiko helped lift the heavy Genta into the trunk, while he solemnly gave instructions to the other three.
Conan originally planned to go by himself, but when he went downstairs and saw the three of them, he realized that he had no choice but to take them with him, otherwise they would complain.
"Okay!" ×3
"Keep your voice down."
...
Watching the farce unfold below, Yuzuru Nan didn't speak up to stop it, but instead fell into deep thought: "As expected of you, 'Death God Elementary School Student' really does bring death wherever you go."
In contrast, Sherlock Holmes would appear wherever a murder occurred.
"No wonder it's 'Detective Conan,' which I used to watch every day when I was a kid. A Japanese person dies in every episode—this is definitely a ridiculous anti-Japanese war drama!"
Just then, Xiaolan pleaded from the side, "Dad, can I go with Nan? I really want to see my idol's room too."
As she spoke, she looked pleadingly at Yuzuru Nanasu. In fact, Ran was more worried that her father would mess up the job he had finally gotten, so she thought she would go along and help him out.
Seeing this, Yuzuru Hanyu chimed in, "Yes, Uncle Mori, I've heard so much about you, I never expected to see you personally handling a case this time."
Upon hearing Hanyu Kusunoki's praise, Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, you flatter me. I have no objection, but it depends on whether Ms. Yoko agrees."
Yoko Okino smiled slightly and nodded gently, saying, "Okay, let's go together then!"
Standing behind Yoko Okino, Eiichi Yamagishi looked hesitant, but seeing that Yoko Okino had agreed, he wisely shut his mouth.
The group then went downstairs chatting and laughing. The two had come by car; Yoko Okino and Eiichi Yamagishi got into the front seats, while Kusunoki Hanyu sat in the back with Kogoro Mouri and Ran.
Just as he sat down close to Ran, Yuzuru heard a slight noise coming from the trunk. However, he simply smiled and didn't say anything.
