Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong watched the car drive away.

Kogoro Mouri hasn't taken on any requests for a while.

As soon as Conan appeared, he received a job.

Perhaps, as Kogoro Mouri said, Conan is his lucky star.

Zhi Yong had no intention of getting involved in this case.

Zhiyong still remembers this case; it was just a small kidnapping case.

……

Chapter 23 Idol Arrives

In the days that followed, Zhiyong continued as usual.

After school in the afternoon, Zhiyong would go to Polo Coffee Shop, mainly because he didn't want to cook and he wasn't used to the food from outside.

Of course, there is another reason.

Zhiyong still remembered that in the past two days, Yoko Okino would come to Kogoro Mouri to investigate something.

Although Zhiyong has no interest in idols or anything like that.

However, it's not bad to meet a celebrity.

You can also get her autograph. If you ever become really poor, you can sell the autograph and make some money.

This is also a murder case.

Zhiyong has been in this world for more than half a year and has been involved in murder cases.

But apart from Miwako Sato, no one knew.

Previously, in order to help Sato Miwako get promoted, Zhiyong had been helping her so that she could claim credit for solving cases.

But this time, Zhiyong was determined to take this opportunity to show off in front of the beautiful woman.

On the evening of the third day after Shinichi Kudo shrunk and became Conan.

Zhiyong went to the coffee shop again after school.

I had just arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop and was about to go in when...

A car pulled up in front of the coffee shop.

Zhiyong saw a woman get out of the car.

Although Zhiyong didn't see the face.

However, judging from her tightly wrapped-up attire, she probably didn't want to reveal her identity.

Then it's very likely that it's Yoko Okino.

Zhiyong hurriedly ran up to the second floor, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Now that Zhiyong and Kogoro Mouri are quite familiar with each other, there's no need to be so polite anymore.

Zhiyong saw that Kogoro Mouri, with his unshaven beard, was still sitting at his desk drinking.

He then said to Kogoro Mouri, "Uncle Mouri, I just saw Yoko Okino downstairs, and she's about to go upstairs."

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "Chiyuki, you've gone astray now. How can you make jokes like that? What's Yoko Okino doing here?"

As he spoke, he picked up another can of beer.

Zhiyong took a trash bag and collected all the empty cans that Kogoro Mouri had drunk from on the table.

As he tidied up, he said, "I'm telling the truth. Uncle, you're a famous detective. Your idol is definitely here to ask you to investigate something. She'll ring the doorbell in less than a minute. If your idol sees you like this, she'll be very disappointed in you."

"That's right, I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily, no longer caring whether Tomoyuki was telling the truth or not, and went into the room in the blink of an eye.

After moving into the agency, Conan was soon assigned to Teitan Elementary School.

Conan was very unhappy about this arrangement.

But there was nothing he could do.

He became Conan, but kids his age are already in school.

If he stays home all day, he'll definitely attract attention.

Therefore, for his safety and the safety of those around him, he had no choice but to obey Professor Agasa's arrangements.

Conan is very wary of Zhiyong, who frequently visits the agency.

He always believed that Zhiyong's true intentions were not what they seemed, but rather that he had designs on Xiaolan.

Shinichi Kudo is usually not very emotionally intelligent.

But how could Conan tolerate something like this?

Conan has always treated Ran as his possession, so how could he let Zhiyong steal her away from him?

Conan still thinks that Zhiyong is teasing Kogoro Mouri.

Conan watched with amusement, waiting for Kogoro Mouri to come out and deal with Tomoyuki; that would be a good show.

This was something Conan hadn't expected.

Conan heard Zhiyong speak about twenty seconds later.

"Ding-dong..."

Conan was startled when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring, and then he looked at Zhiyong with a strange expression.

Zhiyong quickly put the trash bag aside and straightened his clothes.

Reaching the door, Zhiyong opened it.

Zhiyong smiled gently and said, "Welcome to the Mouri Detective Agency. Oh, I didn't expect it to be Miss Yoko. Please come in, please come in. Your presence is truly an honor to our humble abode."

Conan was completely dumbfounded to see that it really was Yoko Okino.

Conan had originally wanted to see Kogoro Mouri calm down and act bravely, but things had changed so much that he was very disappointed.

When Yoko Okino saw Tomoyuki, she thought he was Kogoro Mouri, only a bit younger.

Therefore, she was taken aback and asked with some doubt, "Are you Mr. Mori?"

Her clear and melodious voice made Zhiyong feel comfortable all over.

Zhiyong paused only slightly before smiling and saying, "I am Mr. Mori's assistant. My name is Sato Zhiyong. Ms. Yoko, please come in. I am your biggest fan."

Yoko Okino and her manager were brought into the agency.

Xiaolan heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.

Ran was quite surprised to see Yoko Okino, and she hurriedly went to pour water for the two of them.

Kogoro Mouri, dressed in a suit and tie, walked out of the room.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was no longer disheveled at all; the contrast between his before and after appearance made him look like a completely different person.

The charm of idols is truly immense.

Zhi Yong almost blurted out, "Who are you?"

Kogoro Mouri produced a bouquet of roses from somewhere and approached Yoko Okino with the grace of a gentleman.

He said softly to Yoko Okino, "Miss Yoko, you seem to have something on your mind. Is there anything I, Kogoro Mouri, can do to help you?"

Zhiyong was speechless at Kogoro Mouri's pretentious attitude.

If he had treated Eri Kisaki like that, she probably would have reconciled with him long ago.

Of course, Kogoro Mouri might prefer this kind of free life now.

Yoko Okino felt extremely embarrassed seeing Kogoro Mouri like that.

Fortunately, Xiaolan came out with tea, which relieved Okino Yoko's embarrassment.

After the two sat down, the manager, Sakae Yamagishi, made introductions.

Yoko Okino then began to explain why she had come here.

Perhaps it's true that fame brings trouble.

During this period, Yoko Okino always felt as if she was being watched.

Every time she went out, she always felt as if someone was following her, and there were also signs that someone had disturbed her room.

Yoko Okino came here to ask Kogoro Mouri for help in investigating a series of harassment incidents that have recently occurred around her.

Kogoro Mouri, a die-hard fan of Yoko Okino, was shocked to hear that his idol was being followed.

How could he tolerate something like this happening?

Kogoro Mouri was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, saying, "What?! How could such a thing happen? Someone dares to spy on you? This is outrageous!"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's united and indignant attitude, Zhiyong was speechless.

Zhiyong pretended to be unaware and asked, "Could it be a reporter? Ms. Yangzi is a big star. It's normal for reporters to be very curious about celebrities' secrets and to follow them."

After Zhiyong's interruption, Kogoro Mouri calmed down and said, "That's true."

"That's what I thought too."

Yoko Okino continued, somewhat panicked, "But every time I come home, the furniture in my room is in a different position, and I often receive photos of TouPai. I also receive silent phone calls every day. Especially last night, when I was walking at night, someone was chasing me. It was really scary."

Kogoro Mouri's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again. He shouted, "How could you do such a thing to Miss Yoko? It's unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable! Miss Yoko, please rest assured, whoever did it, I will find out for you and help you resolve this matter."

Chapter 24 The Idol is in Trouble

Yamagishi Sakae pleaded, "If possible, please investigate this secretly. Yoko is a celebrity after all, and if the media finds out about this, it will be very troublesome. Who knows what they will write? It will also have a great impact on Yoko's reputation."

Yoko Okino's company was afraid that others would leak the information to reporters, so they could only have someone conduct a secret investigation.

Their decision to approach Kogoro Mouri instead of the larger detective agencies was based on investigation.
