Listening to his daughter's words, Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows slightly, straightened his clothes a little and walked over.

“You, you, you are…”

Looking at the person standing at the door, Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth in shock and was speechless.

A true fan can easily recognize a star who is wrapped in layers of clothes just by a few details, not to mention that Yoko Okino's face is only half exposed at this time.

"Okino Yoko!!!"

The loud shouting seemed to be heard by the entire Beika Town.

"Hey! Keep your voice down. Don't let anyone know Miss Yoko's whereabouts. Miss Yoko, I think we should change to another agency. The detective here seems too unreliable."

The tall and thin man in a suit who walked in with Yoko immediately said when he saw this scene.

When Kogoro Mouri heard what the man in the suit said, he immediately became displeased.

"Hey! What do you mean?"

"I'm telling you, I'm in all of Tokyo..."

"No, he is the most professional detective in all of Neon!"

At the same time, Higashino Yuuya nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Uncle Maori is not only an excellent detective, but he was also an excellent criminal policeman, so if you have any questions, it will be absolutely fine to leave them to him!"

Yoko Okino glanced at the others and nodded.

"Yes, since Mr. Yamagishi is here, let's not change. If we change, won't it increase the possibility of exposure?"

After looking at a few people silently, Yamagishi Eiichi could only nod helplessly.

"Well, if that's the case then let's talk about it. But before that, please sign this confidentiality agreement first."

After some explanation, everyone realized that Yoko Okino always felt that she was being followed recently.

Not only had the furniture in the house been moved around, but he also received strange phone calls from time to time, and even had mysterious people send him strange photos.

"Ha! Are the private fans so wild nowadays? But this is Japan, so it's okay."

Higashino Yu was stunned at first, then immediately thought of the relationship between Japanese fans and celebrities and nodded to show his understanding.

In Japan, at the very least, when celebrities get married, they must publish a long article explaining the whole story, such as when they met and when they were in love. Otherwise, if they encounter irrational fans, burning CDs and tearing up peripheral products are the least of their problems. You will also have to pay for their irrational actions.

"But I personally suggest that you should just call the police to deal with this kind of people."

Higashino Yuu suggested.

The best solution to this kind of thing (Li Qianhao) is to call the police.

"But if we call the police, the matter will probably be known to the media and then..."

Yoko Okino frowned slightly, tears sparkled in her eyes, and she clutched the corner of her clothes, looking pitiful.

"Then it will affect your work, right?"

Higashino Yu nodded and took over the conversation.

Indeed, if the matter was discovered and exposed by the media, it would be a fatal blow to Yoko Okino, who was at the peak of her career.

"That's right. Rumors will be everywhere by then, and those guys who want to step on Yoko to get to the top will definitely pounce on her like hyenas on the grassland!"

Yamagishi Eiichi said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Don't worry, Miss Yoko, I will protect your future!"

Listening to everyone's conversation, Maori Kogoro, who had already understood the general situation, suddenly stood up and said righteously.

78. Another murder case

At the entrance of a high-end apartment building in Roppongi, central Tokyo.

A large group of people came here in a mighty procession.

"I think I should buy a car of my own tomorrow."

Looking at these people, Higashino Yu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

The main reason is that he remembered that in the original work, Kogoro Mouri had never bought a car, and basically rented a car when he went to a farther place. However, compared to renting a car, he still prefers to own a car of his own.

But after thinking about it, I decided to suppress this idea for now. Compared with buying a car, buying a house is more important.

"Wow! Is this where Okino Yoko lives?"

"As expected of a popular idol, she actually lives in such a high-end place."

While Higashino Yuu was thinking, Maori Kogoro looked at the luxury apartment in front of him and suddenly felt jealous. The house price here was so high that he might not be able to afford one square meter even if he worked hard for a year.

"Keep your voice down, don't let others know!"

Yamagishi Eiichi hurriedly reminded, while also looking around to see if there was anyone following him.

That look made Higashino Yuu feel ashamed.

I'm afraid this is how underground workers contacted each other in the past.

While they were talking, the elevator door had already opened and everyone got on the elevator one after another.

Looking at the house sale advertisement in the elevator, Higashino Yuu became more determined to buy a house.

Japan is still in a period of economic recession, so if you have spare money, buying a house is really the best way to preserve value.

"Ding!"

583 The elevator door opened, and everyone followed Okino Yoko out of the elevator. Okino Yoko, who was at the front, skillfully took out the key and opened the door.

A few seconds later.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A piercing scream almost deafened Higashino Yuu.

I have to say, she is really worthy of being a singer. It would be a pity if she didn't play the suona to match her powerful voice.

"Yoko, what's wrong!"

The agent, Eiichi Yamagishi, suddenly became alert, walked in quickly, and then also let out a scream.

"Ahhh-"

Sure enough, this one was a little lacking in strength, instead of being full of energy, it also sounded a bit hoarse.

"This! What on earth happened?"

Xiaolan, who was following behind the two men, couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she saw the scene in front of her. Even though it was not the first time she had seen such a scene, she still looked terrified and her face turned pale.

He grabbed the arm of Higashino Yuu tightly with both hands.

"Don't worry, Xiaolan, don't be afraid. I'm here, everything will be fine."

Feeling Xiaolan's situation, Dongye You couldn't help but pat Xiaolan's shoulder and comforted her softly.

"You, thank you..."

The scene before her reminded her of the roller coaster incident not long ago.

Thinking of how Higashino Yu was just as calm on the roller coaster last time, Mao Lilan's complexion gradually recovered a little and she forced a smile, but the hands that were holding Higashino Yu's arms showed no intention of loosening at all.

"That is!"

At the same time, Conan, who was originally drowsy, saw the vague scene inside and was startled, then rushed into the room in one step.

At this moment, he didn't notice Xiaolan's special condition at all.

"pat"

As the incandescent lamp was turned on, the dim room suddenly became bright.

A bloated young man was lying on his back on the ground, with blood flowing from under him.

His eyes were wide open and his expression was frozen, and it was obvious that he had been dead for an unknown period of time.

"An ambulance, Dongye boy, call an ambulance quickly, and notify the police immediately!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kogoro Mori's aura changed and he immediately began to give orders.

Conan, who was already standing in the room, skillfully touched the dead man's neck.

"No need, the deceased's heart has completely stopped beating, so let's call the police first."

"died……"

Everyone was so shocked by this conclusion that they were speechless.

It is not a good thing no matter how you think about it that a strange man dies in the home of a popular star.

So Higashino Yuu took Mouri Ran out to make a phone call, while Mouri Kogoro and Conan, who had also worked as detectives, stayed behind to protect the scene and collect evidence.

"Yuu, thank you."

Breathing in the fresh air, Mao Lilan held Higashino Yu's arm and gave a weak smile.

Although it was not the first time she had seen this, she still found it difficult to accept this scene again. (cgac)

"What are you thankful for? Aren't we friends?"

Higashino Yuu waved his hand nonchalantly.

"How about breathing some fresh air now? Do you feel better?"

"It's getting better."

She nodded slightly and took two deep breaths of air before her complexion gradually returned to normal.

"You, did you say that the man who died was Miss Yoko..."

The two stood downstairs, talking while waiting for the police.

"No, it's too early to draw conclusions now. Let's wait until the police arrive."

Higashino You shook his head. Even without mentioning the soul he had just seen, he remembered the original case very clearly.

I remember that the deceased seemed to have committed suicide because he liked Yoko but couldn't get her. The method of suicide was to fix the knife with ice and then fall off the stool.

This created the illusion of homicide.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived with a group of police officers.

"Isn't this Brother Dongye? Are you the ones who reported the case?"

Looking at the two people standing at the door, Inspector Megure was stunned at first and then continued.

"That's right, Officer Megure, you're finally here. Uncle Maori is up there protecting the scene right now."

"Mouri...Mouri Kogoro? Could it be that he is here too?"

When Inspector Megure heard the name of a once familiar colleague, he was not happy at all. Instead, he looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

It's true that he has a good relationship with Maori Kogoro, but Maori Kogoro's ability to handle cases...

Anyway, the answer chosen by Kogoro Mori is never the correct one.

"Well...anyway, let's go up first."

Seeing that some people were already sticking their heads out to watch, Higashino You didn't want to make the matter known to everyone, so he spoke directly.

"Well, anyway, since you are here, Brother Dongye, I believe that no matter what the case is, it can be easily solved."

"Ding!"

As the elevator bell rang, everyone walked out of the elevator one after another.

"Haha, long time no see, Megure-san!"

As soon as he saw Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mouri, who was maintaining the scene, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"No, if possible, I hope I won't meet you in my whole life!"

Looking at the decent-looking Kogoro Mouri in front of him, he sighed helplessly, and then led everyone into the room.

Then I felt a wave of heat coming towards me.

"Wow! This room is so hot. Do you usually set the air conditioner this high?"

Megure Juzo, who was already a bit fat, took off his hat and fanned himself as he spoke.
