Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Shiraishi Osamu's pupils widened, a strange look flashing in his eyes. Although the person in front of him didn't look different now, he was definitely going to be Vermouth in the future.

However, her current name is not that, but rather that of a very famous New York actress—Sharon Vineyard.

Sharon Vineyard's gaze instantly fell on Shiraishi Xiu sitting in the back seat, her purple-lipped lips curving into a slight smile:

"Sir, judging from your expression just now, it doesn't seem like we're meeting for the first time."

"Uh... haha..."

Shiraishi Xiu quickly chuckled, saying in a half-serious, half-joking tone:

"Sharon Vineyard, you are one of my favorite women. I have seen you on screen more than once, but this is the first time I have seen you in person."

"oh?……"

Sharon's drawn-out voice carried a hint of meaning, and her eyes lingered on Shiraishi Osamu's appearance before shifting her gaze to Yukiko.

Seeing that the woman's gaze had shifted away, Shiraishi Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he quite liked this woman, they had only just met, and it was indeed not advisable to provoke her.

Yukiko smiled and said, "Sharon, I really didn't expect it to be you!"

Sharon laughed, "That policeman from earlier was a fan of mine. I chatted with him while I was waiting for you. Then I got a radio call saying a silver Jaguar was speeding this way. So I seized the opportunity and disguised myself as his captain, Radish. It came at a price, you know; the jacket he was wearing cost me a lot of money."

"Thanks then."

Yukiko smiled, but then glanced at the passersby around her and whispered, "Seriously, are you sure this is okay? There are so many people around."

Sharon laughed and said, "No problem, I'm not worried at all, because I told them I was filming here, so they won't bother us."

Yukiko smiled even more brightly: "Sharon, I really love you so much."

"No..." Shinichi Kudo, sitting in the passenger seat, was almost dumbfounded. He stared with dead fish eyes and said, "Mom, tell me quickly, why can this big star disguise himself as other people at will?"

Seeing her son's exaggerated reaction, Yukiko chuckled and said, "Haven't I told you before? When I first entered the acting profession, I once..."

I wanted to play a female spy. So, to prepare for the role, I went to a place that specialized in magicians and apprenticed to learn disguise techniques. At that time, Sharon was also there to learn from a master magician for the same role she was playing, so we became good friends. However, I wasn't as skilled as her; she could impersonate anyone with ease.

Shinichi Kudo joked, "I think that's true. Mom's best skill is disguise, not disguise."

Yukiko grabbed her son's nose and said in a sinister tone, "How dare you talk about your own mother like that? I always pretend to be very serious."

Xiaolan also leaned out of the back seat, looking at Sharon with excitement, and said happily:

"It's amazing to meet such a celebrity, especially on the streets of New York. I really have to thank God."

(Alright, Zhao) Upon hearing this, Sharon looked at Xiaolan, and her eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Just then, a light drizzle began to fall.

She took a folding umbrella from the pocket of her coat, opened it, and said calmly:

"Do gods really exist in this world...?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan was taken aback.

"If there truly is a God in this world, then those of us struggling to make a living wouldn't suffer misfortune. At least, I'm certain that angels would never show me a sincere smile... not even once..."

These words came out of nowhere.

The silence fell over both the inside and outside of the car. They stared at each other, at the woman's sorrowful yet deadly smile.

A smile appeared on Shiraishi Osamu's face. He remembered a bit of the plot; the woman before him had finally met an angel who could smile at him.

Chapter 0065: Xiaolan is angered again

do not know why.

Xiaolan felt heartbroken seeing Sharon Vineyard like this, because she was one of her favorite actresses.

After hesitating for a moment, she still asked:

"May I understand what you mean? You said that angels can't possibly smile sincerely at you..."

Yukiko gently patted Ran's head and sighed, "I think what you mean is that life is inherently bitter, right, Sharon?"

“That’s right.” Sharon nodded. “My life has been a series of misfortunes.”

"When I risked my life to appear on the big screen, my parents died in a fire."

“My husband died the day after Oscar was taken away.”

“When my daughter debuted, I took the opportunity to promote her a lot.”

"My life is nothing compared to Chris's."

“You’re here again…” Yukiko smiled and said, “Actually, you’re very proud of this daughter, aren’t you?”

Sharon paused for a moment, her smile still on her face: "I stopped...treating that child as my daughter a long time ago."

"Huh?" Yukiko was a little surprised; she really didn't know what had happened.

Sharon said, "Can you believe it? 327? That kid was standing behind me, dressed up as my husband, when I was laying flowers at his grave. Don't you think this joke is going too far...?"

Yukiko sighed, "I remember you once told me that at your daughter's request, you taught her how to do makeup."

Sharon shook her head and said, "I haven't seen her for almost ten years since that time. I've only heard that she hangs out with a bunch of shady friends. Enough about me, let's park the car and go backstage. That way, the audience members in line won't notice that there are no cameras filming."

Shinichi Kudo asked curiously, "But why did you arrange to meet before it even started? If you came earlier, you wouldn't be bothered by other people, and you could have a good chat with the musicians backstage."

Yukiko laughed, "You're really dense. Before makeup, you only see ordinary people. But what about before the show starts... hehe..."

at this point.

Shiraishi Osamu understood.

In another world, (badj) celebrities have to wear makeup before they can be seen in public, otherwise they might all be old women with very clear wrinkles and skin that isn't as good as it used to be.

Sure enough, this is the same in other worlds, even in this anime world.

Park the car properly.

Shiraishi and the others followed Sharon into the theater and went backstage.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw three different beauties putting on makeup.

A woman with tanned skin and long, curly black hair spotted Sharon at the front of the group as they entered and exclaimed in surprise:

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up, and she muttered softly, "Hera Sanchez..."

Shiraishi Xiu lowered his head and whispered, "Do you know everyone here?"

It's Sharon.

"Hmm~" Xiaolan smiled and nodded, and began to accept the answer from Shiraishi Xiu: "The white-skinned woman with long black hair next to Hera Sanchez is Carney Nelson, and the woman with long blonde hair next to her is Ross Ishert."

Shiraishi Osamu's lips twitched: "Ran, I didn't expect you to know so much about foreign female celebrities..."

Xiao Lan said shyly, "Because there are few people inside, and I have to take care of my family, I can only watch TV when I have nothing to do. As I watch, I become familiar with many celebrities."

"I see..."

Shiraishi Xiu patted her little head tenderly.

Xiao Lan has worked very hard. She started learning to take care of the family from a young age, and it can be said that she has been managing everything by herself for many years.

If it weren't for her, Kogoro Mouri might have gone bankrupt long ago, or been out looking for work all day long. He wouldn't be able to be so leisurely at home drinking beer and buying horse racing news.

Seeing the three female celebrities chatting so happily with Sharon, Xiaolan felt inexplicably happy too: "Everyone really admires Sharon!"

Shiraishi Osamu teased, "What, Ran, do you want to be a star in the future?"

Xiaolan shook her head and said softly, "I'm not suitable. I can't be a star at all. Besides, I'm not very pretty. I can't compare to them at all."

Shiraishi Osamu glanced at Ran's expression and, finding that she didn't seem to be lying at all, shook his head with amusement.

Xiao Lan is indeed still quite young and lacks a unique charm compared to them, but even now she is still very pretty.

After chatting for a while, Hera Sanchez and the others turned their gaze to Yukiko and asked uncertainly, "This one wouldn't happen to be......"

Sharon laughed and said, "That's right, you're right. She is the most popular female detective right now, Her Excellency the Baroness."

"Hello~" Yukiko greeted everyone with a smile.

Just as everyone had been chatting for a while, a man and a woman walked in.

With the arrival of these two masters, all the performers for today's show have arrived, and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly lively.

Shiraishi Xiu looked at the man and woman and asked Xiaolan curiously, "Xiaolan, do you know these two?"

Xiaolan nodded: "I know that too. The man is Heath Frockhart, and the woman is Iberia Hamilton."

After saying that, Xiaolan puffed out her chest proudly, looked at Baishi Xiu with a smile, and put on a look that asked for praise.

Shiraishi Osamu nodded helplessly: "Ran, I have to say, you're amazing in this area."

Shinichi Kudo interjected, "It's nothing special, I just watched a lot of TV when I was bored. Besides, only you girls like this kind of gossip, nobody else knows anything about it."

Shiraishi Osamu blinked, looking at Kudo Shinichi with a puzzled expression. This guy seemed a bit silly lately, still doing such stupid things.

Xiaolan was speechless with anger, her cheeks puffed up, and her little fists clenched tightly.

This was yet another time she had been angered.

Ran really wants to punch Shinichi Kudo in the face right now, to teach him the consequences of angering her.

If he hadn't managed to keep his emotions in check, Shinichi Kudo might be lying in the hospital right now.

Chapter 0066: Xiao Lan in Danger

The group chatted for a long time.

Finally, they turned their attention to Shiraishi Osamu and his group.

Ross Ishtar asked softly, "Who are these three?"

Yukiko smiled and said, "The boy is my son, and the girl is his childhood friend. As for this gentleman, he came with the girl. Her father was worried about her, so he asked him to come and keep an eye on things."

Ross Ishtar laughed: "I think your son and that girl are a good match."

Yukiko's eye twitched slightly as she thought of her son's reckless actions. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I quite like this girl, and I hope she can be my daughter someday. But that depends on my son's efforts; otherwise, it will just remain a dream."

Hearing her words, the other female celebrities couldn't help but laugh, all looking at Xiaolan with amused eyes.

Xiao Lan blinked her innocent eyes, completely unaware of what they were laughing at.

Iberia Hamilton said indifferently, "Oh dear, what a pity. I thought that with the Baroness's arrival, that strange gift would be unraveled, but it seems she only brought people to tour the place. How disappointing..."
