Ye Qiuxin pretended to cough twice, reorganized his words, looked directly into Okino Yoko's eyes, and put on a stern face to increase his persuasiveness, "Well, this matter is progressing very smoothly. After I took back the shrine, I used the family heirloom to completely purify Fujie Akiyoshi's soul. You don't have to worry anymore."

There’s something right in what you said.

Fujie Akiyoshi's soul was indeed completely "purified" by the moonlight, without even a trace left.

But Ye Qiuxin didn't dare to say too much, because he had forgotten the reason why he deceived Okino Yoko at that time. Was it to make Okino Yoko worry about her safety, or to let Fujie Akiyoshi be completely free?

I really can't remember anything at all.

So now I've only said half a sentence.

As he spoke, Ye Qiuxin also showed Okino Yoko the Moonlight Ring on his index finger, "Here, this is my family heirloom, the main force for purifying Fujie Akiyoshi."

The beautiful lady in the purple suit is back again.

But this time he couldn't peek because there was a man next to him talking loudly on the phone, which was very disturbing.

Okino Yoko carefully observed the Moonlight Ring for a while, her eyes slightly absent-minded, but she quickly shook off the emotion, stood up and bowed, "That's great, thank you for your help, Master Qiu Xin."

"No, no, no, it's just a small matter, please take a seat." Ye Qiuxin also stood up quickly, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Damn, this is so embarrassing.

He was worried that if Yoko Okino continued to ask questions, his deception would be exposed. Although he could continue to cover it up with lies, was that the last straw that broke the camel's back?

If we continue to cover up lies with lies, the loopholes will become more and more.

It’s better to run away quickly.

Okino Yoko tried to persuade him to stay: "Wait, Master Qiu Xin. I have one more thing to tell you..."

But before she could finish, the next second, the waiter's voice echoed in the restaurant, holding a phone in his hand, "Mr. Edogawa, is Mr. Edogawa here?" Everyone's eyes in the cafe gradually focused on the waiter.

Ye Qiuxin also looked over. Edogawa, it must be Edogawa Conan.

In the field of vision, Conan walked over dejectedly, "I am Edogawa." Then he picked up the phone and spoke quietly.

Ye Qiuxin thought that the person who was looking for Conan might be Mao Lilan. He was not curious about what they said. Even if he was curious, he could not go over to listen. He sat down again and asked, "Uh, Miss Yoko, what did you want to say just now?"

Yoko Okino organized her words and said, "It's about the filming..."

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the bathroom, interrupting her words. Conan hung up the phone and ran over, followed by a burly, dark-skinned man.

Ye Qiuxin thought of something and opened his Yin-Yang eyes.

As expected, a fog-like negative and spooky aura filled the bathroom. Haha, this restaurant is unlucky. A murder case has happened here. It will probably close down soon.

If you want to blame someone, blame Conan for appearing here.

Hmm? That sturdy guy also has a strong yin energy, so he must be the murderer.

"Lord Qiu Xin, what happened?" Yoko Okino asked nervously.

"It's nothing, someone died." Ye Qiuxin said calmly. After being in the Conan world for such a long time, he can treat murders as normal.

"Uh... aren't you going to solve the case?" Yoko Okino was surprised.

"No need. There's no point in me catching the murderer now. Let's wait until the police arrive." Ye Qiuxin glanced in the direction of the bathroom again. Conan hadn't come out yet. It seemed that he had found some clues.

When the time comes, leave the reasoning to Conan, and he will go and absorb the soul of the dead person himself.

Ye Qiuxin drank the lemonade in one gulp. "Let's talk about the previous topic. Miss Yoko, what did you want to say just now?"

"Okay." Okino Yoko narrowed her eyes helplessly and smiled, "Actually, I'm currently filming a TV series, and there's a scene that needs to be shot inside a shrine. I thought of you, Master Akishin. If we can film at your shrine, it will be convenient for us, and we can also do some free publicity for your shrine."

Previously, in order to help her and Ye Qiuxin build a better relationship, Yamagishi Eiichi came up with a bad idea. She thought the idea was unreliable at the time, but after going to the art museum together, she completely realized that the method would not work.

I simply changed my mindset and made friends with them from the perspective of career and friendship.

"What kind of drama is it?"

"Detective and mystery dramas. Since Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kid are both very active in Japan recently, detective and thief-themed dramas have become popular and have a big market. The ratings will definitely be good." Yoko Okino introduced enthusiastically, "The scene filmed in the shrine is where 'I' stab someone in the chest with a knife. There is actually another secret behind it, and a detective will appear to solve it."

"Oh, I see." Ye Qiuxin frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He wasn't worried that the murder scenes would bring bad reputation to Yuehua Shrine. It was just acting, it was all fake, he wouldn't care about it.

It is also a good thing to promote the shrine.

Ye Qiuxin also saw through Yoko Okino's thoughts very clearly. At that time, agreeing to go to the art museum with Yoko Okino was actually a disguised refusal. He was very keen on spreading his fame, but was very averse to exposing himself to the public eye.

The entertainment industry is too troublesome.

He really didn't feel anything for Yoko Okino.

What made him feel awkward about the shrine shooting incident was...

Chapter 43: Is the beautiful aunt Mao Lilan’s mother?

If I agree, I will owe Yoko Okino another favor.

Ye Qiuxin already owed a lot, and he really couldn't afford to owe any more. For example, the 88 million yen that was stolen, money laundering is a very troublesome and risky thing to do. If you ask someone to launder the money, it is normal for the other party to take some of it.

But Yoko Okino actually returned the 88 million in full.

Let him successfully reclaim the Moonlight Shrine.

There is also an art gallery attached.

After further investigation, he also discovered the magical weapons Yuehua and Tianfa.

Ye Qiuxin is not an idiot without emotional intelligence. Okino Yoko has helped him so much, but so far he has only given her two small peach wood amulets, which can not be considered a reward in any way.

Now Yoko Okino also has to help promote the Gekko Shrine.

All these helps added together made Ye Qiuxin feel guilty and uncomfortable. If he accepted Okino Yoko's help again and then did not give her anything in return, it would go against his principles.

It would be better for him to change his name from Yin-Yang Master to Shameless Master.

At this time, urgent sirens sounded at the door of the coffee shop, and teams of police got out of the car to set up a cordon.

The doorbell rang for a moment and then stopped ringing. The police walked in one after another.

Ye Qiuxin looked up and saw that it was Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance. He stopped paying attention and sighed, "Sorry, Ms. Yoko, thank you for your kindness. The Yuehua Shrine is still being cleaned up. It will take a long time to clean it up given its size. Choosing the Yuehua Shrine will definitely delay you for a long time. It would be better to find another shrine."

"I don't mind." said Yoko Okino.

Ye Qiuxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ms. Yoko, this is not a question of whether you mind or not. The main thing is that I have some concerns. I'm not in a position to tell you what they are specifically, but if you need anything in the future, you can come to me as much as you want."

Having said that, if Yoko Okino still doesn't understand, then she's a fool.

Although she didn't know what Ye Qiuxin was worried about, the other party obviously didn't want her to ask further, so she could only nod slowly, "I understand. Next time if I need your help, I will definitely not be polite."

Ye Qiuxin smiled, "That's right."

***

People flat cafe, toilet interior.

Inspector Megure looked at the little brat in the blue suit in front of him speechlessly, "It's Conan."

"Yes, Inspector Megure." Sato Miwako took Conan's hand, "According to the store manager, the person who actually first discovered the body and immediately asked him to call the police was this little friend Conan."

Conan scratched his head and grinned, "Hehe."

"Inspector Megure, it seems that Mr. Ye is here too." Takagi Wataru walked into the bathroom and pointed outside. After experiencing so many cases, many accompanying police officers now have a deep impression of Ye Qiuxin.

"Really?" Inspector Megure said, as if it was exactly what I expected. "What about Brother Mori? Where is he?"

"Uncle Maori is drunk at home and is not here." Conan handed over a photo, "Let's not talk about this for now, Inspector Megure, this is the photo of the deceased I took, because the toilet door was not locked at the time, so I jumped up to take a look."

"Oh." Inspector Megure was a little surprised that Maori Kogoro was not here. He reached out to take the photo and thought for a while with his hand on his chin. "The deceased fell against the door."

He looked at Takagi Wataru, "Have you investigated the identity of the deceased? And there is also the preliminary forensic report of the body."

"The deceased is Himeno Yayoi, 24 years old, a part-time supermarket worker." Takagi Shige flipped through the record book, "There are marks of ribs on the neck. The forensic officer judged based on the amount of blood flowing out that the deceased was strangled to unconsciousness, and then a knife was stabbed into the heart and pulled out, causing massive blood loss and death."

"Hmm..." Inspector Megure looked around the crime scene in the bathroom, focusing on the empty wallets, jewelry, cosmetic bags and other items scattered on the ground, as well as the open window in the bathroom. He hesitated for a while and said, "It could be a robbery and murder. He just wanted to steal the victim's money at first, but he wanted to kill after being discovered.

“Outside the window is an empty alley, and I won’t be discovered if I hide in the toilet.

"So the murderer who broke in through the window must have been waiting here for his prey... He killed the deceased who happened to walk in, took his money, and then fled through the window in a hurry."

Inspector Megure waved his hand and said, "The murderer must still be outside. Go around and ask around immediately!"

"Wait a minute, Inspector Megure!" Conan hurriedly stopped him, and complained in his heart, Inspector Megure, how dare you look down on Uncle Mori, you two are the same, don't look down on each other.

He took two or three small steps to the bathroom where the deceased died and pointed at the window. "Please take a look at that window. Isn't it too clean..."

Ye Qiuxin and Okino Yoko had a brief chat.

Although it was a bit strange to chat calmly in a restaurant where a murder had just occurred, there was nothing else to do.

At this time, the beautiful woman in a purple women's suit slowly walked past Ye Qiuxin, leaving behind a wisp of fragrance.

Ye Qiuxin took a few more glances and found that these legs were really amazing!

The woman walked straight into the bathroom.

Ye Qiu was confused and didn't know where she was going or what she was doing.

Normally people wouldn't go to see a murder scene, but it doesn't matter. With the Yin-Yang eyes, this lady has a bit of yin and ghost energy, but she is definitely not the murderer. Conan can definitely see that with his level of reasoning.

Come to think of it, at this point, hasn’t Conan solved the case yet?

Ye Qiuxin glanced at the clock.

The police had arrived some time ago, and the cafe was crowded with people watching the fun.

Ye Qiuxin noticed that Yoko Okino looked around from time to time and listened to the noisy sounds outside. He immediately realized that Yoko Okino was worried that their private meeting in the cafe would be seen by others.

After all, he is a top Japanese star, and it would be a bit reckless to meet him in such an occasion.

"Ms. Yoko, this time you happened to encounter a murder case, which is a bit unsafe for you." He said, "I think we should stop here for now. We can get together again next time if we have the chance."

"Okay." Okino Yoko nodded, "But... the police won't let you go."

"Is everything okay?" Ye Qiu thought for a moment, "I'm very familiar with Inspector Megure and the others. Just tell him and prove that you have nothing to do with this murder case."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master Qiu Xin."

"Well, it's a small matter." Ye Qiuxin was about to stand up, but found that Conan the kid was leading the police out of the bathroom. His little hand pointed at several people in the coffee shop, among whom was the murderer of this murder case.

And…the lady in the purple suit.
