He immediately took Aragaki Yu as his fan, excitedly patting Aragaki Yu on the shoulder and laughing loudly: "Hahahaha! Good lad, you have good taste. Let me tell you about my glorious deeds!"

Now, he found Aragaki Yu's gaze even more agreeable.

This kid is way more savvy than that guy named Shinichi Kudo!

"What about that little boy from yesterday? I think he was injured yesterday. Is he alright?" Aragaki Yu asked casually, noticing that Conan wasn't in the office.

Ran shook her head and replied, "You mean Conan? He's fine now, but he's probably still not up because he was frightened yesterday. Anyway, I still have to thank you for yesterday! If it weren't for you, Conan would have been in danger."

“Yeah, these kinds of brats are the easiest to cause trouble!” Kogoro Mouri chimed in from the side.

"Nothing of the sort. I just happened to be passing by. It's nothing." Aragaki Yu smiled.

"Let's not talk about that brat anymore!" Kogoro Mouri pulled Yu Aragaki to sit on the sofa, ready to tell him his story as a famous detective.

After all, having a fan who admires him is something that excites him greatly.

Ran went into the kitchen and soon brought out a cup of tea for Yuu Aragaki. She then sat down and joined in the conversation.

Suddenly, the office doorbell rang again.

Kogoro, who was boasting about his detective stories, was clearly interrupted.

He stormed to the door, somewhat angrily, and complained as he opened the office door, "I told you the office is closed today! We're not open for business!"

However, just as Kogoro Mouri finished speaking and turned to close the door, he seemed to realize who had rang the doorbell: "Huh? You look like..."

Kogoro Mouri's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an incredulous expression, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You are... Yoko Okino!"

Knowing it was Yoko Okino who had come, Uncle Mori slammed the door shut as Yoko stood at the door with a puzzled look on her face.

He then quickly returned to his room.

In a matter of seconds, he changed into a sharp suit, wore a neat tie, combed his hair, and even brought a rose before opening the office door again.

"You seem to have something on your mind, Miss." Kogoro Mouri, now a handsome middle-aged man, asked gently, one hand gracefully supporting himself on the door.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's smooth and effortless maneuver, both Yuu Aragaki and Ran on the sofa instantly turned into beady eyes.

Is this handsome middle-aged man really the same person as the one we just saw?

"Is this really my dad?" Xiaolan's expression was a little stiff.

"Heh...hehe..." Aragaki Yu could only give a dry laugh; he had no other reaction.

Judging from the speed at which he changed clothes, Aragaki Yu knew that Kogoro Mouri was no ordinary man.

……

"What!? Someone actually tried to do this to the lovely Yoko!" After listening to Yoko Okino and her manager's account, Kogoro Mouri exclaimed indignantly.

It turns out that Yoko Okino and her manager, Sakae Yamagishi, made a surprise visit to the Mouri Detective Agency.

It was because Yoko Okino was being monitored and harassed by unknown individuals.

However, due to Yoko Okino's special status as an idol, she was unable to call the police for help, so she had no choice but to seek help from a detective.

Kogoro Mouri was naturally furious about this.

He also stated that he would do his utmost to find the culprit who harassed Ms. Yoko.

Ran, Yuu Aragaki, and Conan, who woke up midway and joined in, also expressed their willingness to do their part.

After idol Yoko Okino nodded in agreement, Uncle Mori had no choice but to agree to their request to go together.

Soon, the group arrived at the apartment building where Yoko Okino lived by car.

Fortunately, Yoko Okino's car was an extended luxury car, so the group didn't feel cramped.

"Wow, so this is the place! No wonder it's Yoko Okino's house!" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the apartment where Yoko Okino lived.

"Shh... Mr. Mori, please keep your voice down. It's a secret that Yoko Okino lives here." Yamagishi Sakae quickly whispered a reminder to Kogoro beside him.

Kogoro Mouri wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he seriously turned around and reminded Yuu Aragaki and the others not to shout.

Ran and Conan, standing to the side, were speechless.

Although he had seen this scene in anime in his previous life.

However, at this moment, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but think to himself, "With your voice, you've already given yourself away!"

Chapter 24 Idol, Yoko Okino (2)

The group followed Yoko Okino to her floor.

"Thank you for your hard work, please come in... Ah!"

Yoko Okino opened the door, but before she could finish speaking, she let out a panicked scream.

Seeing Yoko's panicked state, the others behind her rushed over.

"What! How could this be!" The scene inside the room caused everyone's expressions to change.

A man was lying in a pool of blood on the floor of the room.

"Ran! Go call the police!" Kogoro Mouri rushed into the room, went to the man's side, and then shook his head as he spoke.

The man had been stabbed in the back, his face contorted in a grimace, and he was clearly dead.

Yuu Aragaki stood at the door, silently watching Conan sneak into the room.

I saw Conan openly observing the environment and collecting evidence in the room.

Yuu Aragaki couldn't understand how he managed to stay hidden for so many episodes.

Are all the people around us blind?

It wasn't until Conan struggled and was thrown out of the room by Kogoro that Aragaki Yu was able to confirm—

The people around you might not be blind, they're just stupid.

Not long after, Inspector Megure from the First Investigation Division arrived at the scene with his team.

"I see. So when you returned here, this man was already lying here?" Inspector Megure asked, looking at the scene.

"Hmm." Yoko Okino was still somewhat shaken.

"Who was with you at that time?" Inspector Megure asked again, glancing at the crowd standing to one side.

They arrived in such a hurry that they hadn't even had time to pay attention to the other people at the crime scene.

In that one glance, Inspector Megure spotted a group of familiar faces.

"Yes, it's me, Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Megure." Kogoro Mouri greeted Inspector Megure warmly as he turned around.

"Seriously, why you of all people!" Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Megure felt a sense of helplessness, and his face instantly darkened.

"I really miss the days when I worked on cases with Inspector Megure!" Kogoro continued, seemingly oblivious to Inspector Megure's disdainful look.

Inspector Megure rolled his eyes at Kogoro Mouri, annoyed. "Yeah, in the cases you were involved in before, you always managed to lead us into a maze."

"Hehehehe..." Kogoro chuckled dryly and stopped talking.

Inspector Megure continued to look at the others.

"Hello, Inspector Megure!" Because of her father, Ran had met Inspector Megure many times before, so she greeted him familiarly.

"Hello, Xiaolan!"

However, when Inspector Megure saw Yu Aragaki, his face immediately filled with surprise: "Oh, isn't this Yu Aragaki!"

Clearly, Inspector Megure recognized the boy who had intervened at the kidnapping scene just yesterday.

Then he turned his head to the side, and sure enough, there was that somewhat troublesome brat, Conan.

However, he already learned yesterday that this kid named Conan has recently been staying at Kogoro Mouri's house.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he appeared here with Kogoro.

"Hello, Inspector Megure!" Yuu Aragaki and Conan also greeted Inspector Megure.

"Officer, I'm Yoko's manager, Sakae Yamagishi." Sakae Yamagishi quickly introduced himself when he saw Inspector Megure looking at him.

"So, Mori, do you have any leads?" Inspector Megure suddenly returned to the main topic.

"Yes! Of course, Inspector Megure," Kogoro replied with a serious expression.

This sentence drew everyone's attention.

Even Conan showed a surprised expression.

Even though he himself hadn't found any crucial clues yet.

I never expected that Uncle Mori had already made a discovery; he really impressed me.

"Ahem! I'm absolutely certain that Ms. Yoko Okino is not the murderer!" Kogoro Mouri cleared his throat and said confidently.

"Oh! Brother Mori, why do you say that?" Inspector Megure asked.

"Because someone as lovely as Ms. Yoko could never commit murder! Hahahaha!" Detective Mouri couldn't help but reveal his signature smile.

"Ah!" Yoko Okino seemed a little embarrassed.

The rest of the people all wore speechless expressions.

Sure enough, asking this guy for his opinion was a mistake.
