Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

There were four more people in the room: two men and two women.

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, Yoko Okino, and her manager, Sakae Yamagishi.

"Officer Shiraishi, I'm so sorry to bother you so late." Yoko Okino quickly stood up, bowed, and looked a little uneasy.

She ended up here because the postcard Shiraishi Osamu sent had an address on it, so she came uninvited. However, she had no choice; if she hadn't come, she was afraid something unexpected would have happened to her.

The reason why Detective Mouri appeared was entirely due to her manager, Sakae Yamagishi.

Because she is a celebrity, she usually needs to hire unknown detectives to investigate her private affairs. Otherwise, if a famous detective is hired and it gets noticed, it can really lead to a whole series of stories being imagined by countless people.

"Oh, it's Miss Yoko... What brings you here..."

Shiraishi Osamu looked at her with a puzzled expression, then at Ran and the others, and finally at Shimabukuro Kimie.

"This is what happened..."

Shimabukuro Kimie leaned close to Shiraishi Osamu's ear and recounted the entire incident in detail.

"I see."

Osamu Shiraishi nodded and looked at Yoko Okino, saying, "You're being watched by unknown people! Is it the same group as last time?"

Yoko Okino shook her head and said, "That last time was really just an accident. I went out because I was feeling very unwell, and that's when I encountered danger. Every time I come home, the layout of the house has changed, and there are some strange photos being sent to me. I also receive silent phone calls every day. I can't stand this fear anymore."

After saying that, she looked at Shiraishi Xiu with a pitiful expression, and with her beautiful face, her pitiful appearance was really attractive.

At least Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, was attracted.

Kogoro Mouri patted his chest decisively and said, "Miss Yoko, don't worry. I used to be a detective, so this kind of thing is child's play for me. Besides, I'm the most famous detective in this area now, and many people come to me for commissions every day."

Xiao Lan blushed upon hearing this and quickly turned her head to the side.

Sakae Yamagishi gave Kogoro Mouri a strange look and scratched his hair in confusion.

He only chose a relatively unknown detective because he didn't want to become famous, so how come Kogoro Mouri claims to be a famous detective? This doesn't match his investigation at all...

At this moment, Yamagishi said, "If possible, I would like to ask Detective Mouri and Inspector Shiraishi to conduct a secret investigation."

Shiraishi Xiu interjected, "Wait a minute, I didn't agree to such a thing!"

Miwako Sato walked over and said seriously, "I'm a police officer too. I can help with this. This is clearly premeditated, so it's best to be careful."

Shiraishi Osamu looked at Sato Miwako, opened his mouth but had nothing to say, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

He didn't have any good solutions either.

Since his own baby's mother wanted to get involved, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

And if I had to say what impressed me most about the Conan world, it would probably be the plot of the first few episodes.

He remembered that when Yoko Okino came to see Kogoro Mouri, she found someone dead in her house when she got home. The investigation revealed that it was a suicide, and it was her ex-boyfriend. The whole thing was quite dramatic.

Even after so many years, he can still recall many details and roughly understand the methods used.

However, looking at it this way...

That ex-boyfriend might already be dead in Yoko Okino's house.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Xiaolan couldn't help but say something...

"Can I go too? I really want to see what my idol's house looks like."

"Actually, I'd really like to go too."

Kimie Shimabukuro couldn't help but chime in.

Yamagishi Sakae looked at everyone and said with difficulty, "But... our car doesn't seem to be able to fit so many people."

0. Requesting flowers.......

Shiraishi Osamu thought for a moment and said, "How about we just take a taxi?"

Anyway, this is a case to be solved, so it's fine to send the two women. I just hope they won't be too frightened.

"OK then."

Yamagishi Sakae did not refuse, after all, he needed Shiraishi Osamu's help and could not afford to offend him.

Yoko Okino glanced at Osamu Shiraishi secretly, then quickly turned her head away and silently walked downstairs.

Osamu Shiraishi walked up to Miwako Sato and whispered, "Actually, you didn't need to come along at all. I can handle it by myself."

"What, do you know who's causing trouble?" Sato Miwako stared at Shiraishi Osamu.

Shiraishi Osamu: ...

Shiraishi Osamu was speechless. He really didn't want to deal with this argumentative woman; it was as if she was doing it on purpose.

He didn't believe the other party couldn't understand what he was saying, but since things had already come to this, he didn't try to persuade them anymore. In any case, when the time came, it would just be a case to be solved, and he could resolve it quickly.

night.

The bright moon and the twinkling stars.

On top of a tall building.

A beautiful and alluring woman stood by the building, her hair flying wildly in the wind. She held a pair of binoculars and looked at a man in a room on the 25th floor, a charming smile gradually forming on her lips.

"Young man, what happened last time isn't over yet; this time, it's just the beginning."

The woman speaking was none other than Vermouth...

She took out a photograph, and a cold smile gradually appeared on her lips...

"A witch is a witch because she is hated, feared, and helpless."

"She will be watching you all the time, appearing in any corner you don't know about, and making you live in constant trouble."

"I hope you can accept this challenge; our story has only just begun."

The camera then pans to the photograph in her hand.

The photo shows a man and a woman; the woman is Yoko Okino, and the man is Osamu Shiraishi.

If Osamu Shiraishi could see this, he would definitely recognize it as the photo taken after he saved Yoko Okino that day.

Chapter 0122: The "Five" Behind the Photograph

Beika 4-chome Avenue.

Jiangmu Building.

At night, the 30-story building, with its many rooms lit up, is illuminated like a gleaming torch.

"Wow! No wonder it's where Yoko lives, it's so high-class...!"

Kogoro Mouri, acting like someone who had never seen the world, was shouting and yelling downstairs.

"dad?"

Ran, her face flushed, came to Kogoro Mouri's side and tugged hard on his arm to calm him down.

Osamu Shiraishi chuckled and shook his head, then followed Yoko Okino inside.

Everyone entered the elevator together.

We soon arrived at the 25th floor.

"Please follow me, everyone."

Yoko Okino gave a greeting and led the way forward, arriving at a large door where she inserted the key.

"That's strange, what's going on?"

As she spoke, she twisted the door a few more times, but it still wouldn't open.

Shiraishi Xiu sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it seems to be locked from the inside." Yoko Okino looked at Osamu Shiraishi with a puzzled expression.

With a twist of the "three-six-three" method, it remained completely still.

Shiraishi Osamu gripped the key, twisted it left and right, but couldn't open it. He then casually asked, "Miss Yoko, you didn't take the wrong key, did you?"

“No.” Yoko Okino shook her head: “I only have one key on me, I don’t have any other keys.”

"Ah!" Xiaolan suddenly exclaimed, as if she had realized something, her face turning a little frightened: "Could it be that someone inside locked the door from the inside?"

Everyone was startled.

Thinking about it that way, it's indeed possible, and I subconsciously moved away from the door.

Miwako Sato went straight up and banged on the door, warning everyone at the same time:

"Listen up, you people inside! Entering a homeowner's room without permission is illegal. Surrender now and open the door!" He shouted for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

Shiraishi Xiu peeked through the crack in the door and saw light coming through. He then addressed the others:

"Just break it open and see what's inside."

"it is good."

Kogoro Mouri readily agreed, and the girls all stepped back.

"Prepare!"

"Collide--!"

At Kogoro Mouri's command, Osamu Shiraishi, Sakae Yamagishi, and the other two charged forward together.

"boom!"

The three of them gasped in unison, all of them staggered back a step, rubbing their shoulders and staring at the door in disbelief.

Despite the pain on his face, Yamagishi Sakae said with a wry smile, "I bought the best security door on the market because I was afraid that something might happen to Yoko if she lived alone."

"Ah, this..." Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth, but he didn't have any good ideas.

The three men had just tested the thickness and sturdiness of the gate in front of them.

Adding a few more people probably wouldn't make much difference, and the door is locked from the inside. If they wanted to get in, they'd probably have to take the door down.

Shiraishi Xiu glanced at the girls beside him, finally fixing his gaze on Xiaolan:

"Xiao Lan, why don't you give it a try?"

She remembered Xiaolan's fighting prowess; there were quite a few scenes in the original work where she broke down doors or came out alive.
