Ran Mouri pushed open the door, speechless, and couldn't help but complain, "Dad, you're so noisy! I could hear you before I even came in."

"What does it matter? I have nothing to do today anyway!"

"I just checked my mailbox and saw several emails. Maybe they contain some kind of request?"

Ran Mouri picked up the stack of letters in her hand and began to look through them one by one: "Let me see, this is a notice to pay the electricity bill, this is an invitation to a speech, and there's a newspaper advertisement... Oh? There's also a letter from Ms. Yoko here!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri asked incredulously, "Really? What did Ms. Yoko say in her letter?"

"Miss Yoko's letter said that she wanted to invite her father to her engagement party."

boom!!!

Ran Mouri's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Kogoro Mouri's ears and leaving him completely stunned.

"An engagement party?!"

Upon suddenly hearing the news that Yoko Okino was getting engaged, Kogoro Mouri was completely devastated, and his eyes lost their sparkle.

Like a salted fish that has lost its dreams!

"The person getting engaged this time is a good friend of Ms. Yoko."

My friend said she had been wanting to meet Detective Mouri for a long time.

Ran Mouri turned to Kogoro Mouri halfway through her sentence and asked, "Dad, you'll probably go, right?"

"Engaged, engaged, engaged..."

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was like a broken tape recorder, completely ignoring the second half of Ran Mouri's sentence, and kept muttering the word "engagement".

For a true fan, the biggest blow is hearing the news of their idol getting married.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Ran Mouri looked somewhat worried and waved her hand in front of Kogoro Mouri, then placed Yoko Okino's letter in front of him and let him read it himself.

Upon learning that it wasn't Yoko Okino who was getting engaged, but rather her friend, Kogoro Mouri, who was on the verge of a breakdown, gradually regained his composure.

"Dad, should we go or not?"

"Of course I'm going! It's an invitation personally sent by Ms. Yoko!"

Without a second thought, Kogoro Mouri replied, then happily ran to his room to pick out what to wear that evening.

Night slowly fell

Having carefully dressed up, Kogoro Mouri happily drove his newly rented car, taking Conan and Ran Mouri with him, towards the party destination.

"This is truly an honor for me, Ms. Yoko."

When Kogoro Mouri saw Yoko Okino wearing black-rimmed glasses and doing a simple disguise, he immediately greeted her with a big smile: "I really didn't expect that you would write to invite me to your friend's engagement party."

"Mr. Mori, please don't say that."

Yoko Okino smiled and said, "I should be the one who feels honored. I'm really sorry for suddenly and presumptuously writing to invite you. You must have been quite surprised."

"No, how could that be?"

o(￣︶￣)o

Conan's lips curled into a slight smile as he thought to himself, "You make it sound so nice, but you think she was stunned for several minutes when she announced her engagement?"

Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Yoko, you said in your letter that your good friend is engaged this time. Could it be that he is also a big star?"

"This will be a secret for now; you'll find out when you meet her," Yoko Okino said with a smile.

"Miss Yoko!"

A magnetic voice suddenly rang out, followed by a man in a blue suit and sunglasses walking towards them.

The man in sunglasses stared at Kogoro Mouri for a moment, then said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to actually bring the famous detective, Kogoro Mouri, here."

"..."

When Ran Mouri saw the person who came, she was slightly taken aback at first, and then she couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't you the one who played Kenzaki Osamu in 'Detective Samonji'?"

"Shh-"

Upon hearing this, Kenzaki Osamu quickly gestured for Ran Mouri to be quiet.

"Well!"

Seeing this, Ran Mouri quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Both Yoko Okino and Osamu Kenzaki are currently very popular idols.

If we're recognized by someone else, the party might be ruined.

"Since Mr. Kenzaki is here, then Ms. Yoko's fiancé tonight is...?"

Kenzaki Osamu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right! I'm the male lead, and Yoko's friend is the female lead tonight."

"Alright, let's hurry up and go! Kaoru will definitely be very surprised to see Mr. Mori."

Just thinking about the surprised expression on Kusano Kaoru's face later made Okino Yoko feel a little impatient.

"Ran-neechan! Conan!"

As Yoko Okino and Kogoro Mouri stepped out of the underground parking lot, a childish yet familiar voice came from behind them.

Ran Mouri instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Seimei Suzuki and Ai Haibara, with Tamaka Kurosaki following closely behind them.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Seimei, what are you doing here?"

Suzuki Haruaki feigned surprise and said, "I came out for a late-night snack with Ai and took Black Whirlwind out for a walk. I didn't expect to run into you guys here. What a coincidence!"

The reason why Suzuki Haruaki and the others are here is not simply a coincidence.

Actually, it was someone from the Luo Wang organization who sent a message to Suzuki Seimei, saying that Kogoro Mouri and the others were going to a party tonight.

That's why Suzuki Seimei took Ai Haibara to a nearby restaurant for a late-night snack, and then, taking advantage of the opportunity to walk Black Whirlwind, created this coincidental encounter.

Of course!

In the eyes of Ai Haibara and Tamaka Kurosaki, this was indeed a chance encounter, so the surprise on their faces was completely genuine.

"what?"

After greeting Conan and the others, Suzuki Haruaki turned his attention to Okino Yoko and feigned surprise, saying, "Aren't you Okino Yoko, the leading lady of Nichiuri TV?"

"Director Suzuki, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take good care of me."

Yoko Okino recognized Seimei Suzuki and smiled as she extended her slender hand.

Although this was the first time that Suzuki Haruaki had met Okino Yoko in person, Okino Yoko was no stranger to him, a shareholder of Nichiri TV.

Yoko Okino's manager had already shown her photos of Haruaki Suzuki to prevent her from accidentally offending him.

After all, Haruaki Suzuki was not only a shareholder of Nichiri TV, but also the heir to the Suzuki Group.

If Yoko Okino were to accidentally offend Haruaki Suzuki, even if she were the leading lady of Nichiri TV, she would be completely blacklisted and sidelined.

"Hello."

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei smiled and reached out his small hand to shake Okino Yoko's right hand.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Yoko Okino. You are rewarded with a Master-level copy of 'Acting Skills', which you can claim at any time."

The moment Suzuki Seimei touched Okino Yoko, a system notification sounded in his ear.

"use!"

As Suzuki Seimei silently recited in his mind, the Master-level "Acting" skill book he had just obtained from signing in instantly transformed into a skill memory and merged into his mind.

Suzuki Harumi already possessed the Proficiency level of "Acting Skills," and now, with the integration of a second Proficiency level "Acting Skills," he has gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the technique, and his skill level has naturally risen to the Master level.

If the mastery level of "Acting Skills" only makes Suzuki Haruaki comparable to a professional actor, then the mastery level of "Acting Skills" is enough to make him comparable to an award-winning actor.

Suzuki Harumi raised his cute little face, blinked his big, watery eyes, and asked, "Yoko-neechan, how come you're with Uncle Mori and the others?"

"My friend is having an engagement party tonight, and I specially invited Mr. Maori and his family to be guests."

"An engagement party? That sounds like a lot of fun. Can we come too?"

"Of course you can."

Yoko Okino agreed to Suzuki Haruaki's request without hesitation.

Although Yoko Okino is not the kind of person who is scheming, she is certainly not a fool to have become the leading lady of Nichiri TV.

If Yoko Okino can build a good relationship with Seimei Suzuki, her position at Nichiri TV will be even more secure.

If it weren't for the fact that Suzuki Haruaki was still young, there would probably have been many ambitious and beautiful actresses and TV presenters trying every means to get into his bed.

Led by Yoko Okino, the group quickly took the building's elevator to apartment 2801 on the 28th floor.

"Mr. Mori, Kaoru doesn't know you're coming yet. Why don't you ring the doorbell and give her a surprise?"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Yoko Okino's words, Kogoro Mouri quickly straightened his collar, flashed a bright smile, and walked to the front door to ring the doorbell.

"Ding dong..."

Kaoru Kusano, who was setting out the tableware in her room, heard the doorbell ring and hurried to the front door.

However, Kusano Kaoru did not rush to open the door, but looked out through the peephole.

Because some crazy fans might stalk her and secretly follow her to her house, she can't open the door to strangers just to ensure her safety.

Although Kusano Kaoru told Okino Yoko that she really wanted to meet Kogoro Mouri, she herself had never met Kogoro Mouri before.

Therefore, when Kusano Kaoru looked through the peephole and saw Kogoro Mouri with a lewd smile on his face, she subconsciously mistook him for a stalker.

"Strange? Ah Xun should be home! Why is no one answering the door?"

Seeing that no one opened the door for a long time, Yoko Okino couldn't help but show a puzzled expression on her pretty face.
