Conan Rick's Investigator

"Teacher, there are some letters in your mailbox outside. I brought them to you..."

Toru Amuro said he was helping to gain trust, but in fact he was just looking for an excuse to see what kind of letters Qin Zhibo usually received.

Although the possibility is very small, there may be some clues in it.

Qin Zhibo took a small stack of envelopes from Amuro Toru and was a little surprised.

Qin Zhibo, a man from the future, did not have the mindset of cleaning his mailbox every day, which led to so many envelopes accumulating in the mailbox.

"Let me take a look..."

Qin Zhibo quickly flipped through the letters, and found that most of them were early spam messages.

"Advertising flyers, shop rental notices, shopping mall promotional coupons, real estate agency flyers, opening event flyers..."

Thanks to Conan's tireless "efforts", most of the spam messages involve the sale of real estate and shops.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's words stopped abruptly because a private name appeared on the envelope.

"A letter from Yoko Okino..."

Hearing this name, Toru Amuro next to him pretended to have just heard of it and hurried over.

"Teacher, is she the famous actress who is active in film, television, and music?"

"You actually know that famous star?"

Qin Zhibo opened the envelope and said modestly, "I know her, I guess. I helped her before..."

Strictly speaking, it was Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi who worked together to help Okino Yoko, who was under the voodoo curse of her ex-boyfriend.

Although Koizumi Akako helped the outsider that time, it was mainly because the agent offered 200 million yen.

The Red Magic Clan has assets overseas and generates investment income every year, but Koizumi Hongzi occasionally tells fortunes for people depending on her mood and makes a little money.

When he opened the envelope, he saw a few lines of beautiful handwriting inside, inviting Qin Zhibo to attend a friend's engagement party.

"Teacher, what does the letter say?" asked Toru Amuro.

"It's nothing important, they just want to invite me to the engagement party of Yoko Okino's friend."

Considering that just last week had passed and he hadn't checked his mailbox for a while, Qin Zhibo felt that he had missed it and was about to take the letter back.

"But the party time should be over, right?"

This made Amuro Toru a little confused. What did "it's over?" mean?

"Isn't there a time written on this letter?"

"Yes, it's August 8st."

Amuro Toru took a second to react, then immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Today is August 8st!"

Qin Zhibo frowned and sighed, "Is it such a coincidence?"

Seeing Qin Zhibo's reaction, Amuro Toru was confused again.

Don’t you know what day it is today?

Or do you have something else to do today so you want to decline?

Thinking of this, Amuro Toru had an idea and quickly put on a harmless smile, "I like that Okino Yoko! Please take me with you, teacher!"

"Onegai Yinshimas!"

Seeing Toru Amuro putting his hands together and raising them above his head as a gesture of begging, Qin Zhibo felt a little soft-hearted.

Since employees have a hobby of chasing stars, it is okay to satisfy it appropriately.

It's better than asking for salary from yourself.

"Then I'll call and confirm if there's an extra seat available."

"is teacher!"

Qin Zhibo agreed quite readily, which surprised Amuro Toru.

Did you guess wrong?

Qin Zhibo picked up the phone and dialed Yoko Okino's number.

After waiting for more than half a minute, the phone was picked up and Yoko Okino's voice came from the other end.

Qin Zhibo expressed his intention to bring his assistant with him, and Yoko Okino agreed immediately.

"Actually, it's not a particularly private gathering. Besides Mr. Qin, I also invited Mr. Mao Li."

"Mori? Are you talking about Mori Kogoro?" Qin Zhibo confirmed.

Okino Yoko: "Yeah, you two should know each other, right?"

Qin Zhibo: "Yeah, I'm quite familiar with him."

Yoko Okino: "See you tonight, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Zhibo: "Okay, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised that Maori Kogoro was also an invited guest.

However, the Mori family should still be in Yokohama. If you send the invitation letter to the office, they probably won't receive it.

So in order to prevent the Maori family from missing the party, Qin Zhibo directly called Maori Ran.

"Hello."

"I'm Qin Zhibo. I have something to tell you. Call your father over to listen..."

The person who answered the phone was Mao Lilan, and from the sound of her voice she seemed to be in good condition.

Qin Zhibo directly explained the reason for the incident and told Maori Kogoro that Yoko Okino was going to invite Maori Kogoro to the party.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who had been a long-time "Western admirer", immediately jumped high with excitement in the ward.

But when he saw Ran Mouri lying on the hospital bed, Kogoro Mouri's fiery star-chasing heart quickly cooled down and he cleared his throat.

"Although I appreciate Ms. Yoko's kindness, I still have to decline..."

dad……

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was obviously reluctant but still chose to refuse, Ran Mouri felt a little distressed.

"Dad, if it's for me, then it doesn't matter at all."

"I'm in a good state now, and I really want to attend Miss Yoko's party..."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

In fact, Mao Lilan's cold has indeed healed. After an entire night of IV drip, she was almost well when she woke up yesterday. Normally, she could be discharged directly from the hospital.

However, since Mao Lilan had an unknown illness, the doctor recommended that she stay in the hospital for two more days for observation.

And today is the second day of observation.

At this time, Conan on the side came up with a solution that had the best of both worlds.

"The party shouldn't be held until evening, right?"

"In that case, why not wait until tonight before being discharged from the hospital? I'll be back in Tokyo just in time for the party..."

Conan's proposal was immediately approved by Ran Mouri, and after thinking about it, Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to agree.

Just like that, by the time Qin Zhibo hung up the phone, the evening party had already been confirmed.

……

At night, Qin Zhibo took down the disc with the old seal hanging behind the office door and put it in the car.

I drove to the location mentioned in the invitation letter, which was a high-end apartment building.

Qin Zhibo drove the car into the parking lot downstairs. The cool appearance immediately attracted Amuro Toru who was already waiting in the parking lot.

"teacher!"

The two met in the parking lot and waited for a while. Then a girl with glasses, who looked average, walked over from a distance.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the name above his head and realized that it was Yoko Okino.

In order to conceal her identity, Yoko Okino usually wears glasses when she goes out. She looks like a quiet girl with glasses and few people can recognize her.

But as soon as she takes off her glasses, she immediately becomes a popular female star in the fields of film, television and music.

It turns out that her beauty is sealed by her glasses...

"Hello, Mr. Qin, we meet again."

"Thank you so much for what happened last time. With your help, I've been very lucky recently."

"No, no, these are what I should do..."

The conversation between Qin Zhibo and Okino Yoko made Amuro Toru next to them a little confused.

I didn’t expect that Qin Zhibo really has a good relationship with big stars?

But why is it that the result of helping others is good luck?

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Qin Zhibo introduced Toru Amuro to Yoko Okino.

"This is my assistant, Toru Amuro."

"Hello, Mr. Amuro." Yoko Okino showed her standard smile for greeting people.

"Ms. Yoko, I'm your fan..."

As he was speaking, Amuro Toru suddenly took out the autograph pad he had bought after leaving get off work early and handed it to him with both hands, "Can you sign it for me?"

Seeing the signature board, Yoko Okino was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and replied, "Of course, no problem."

The pen tip moved smoothly on the signature board, and Toru Amuro watched carefully from the side.

Just when Yoko Okino was about to sign "For Toru Amuro", Toru Amuro suddenly stopped Yoko Okino from writing.

"You don't need to sign your name. This will do. Thank you for your help..."

After taking back the autograph board, Toru Amuro certainly didn't want the autograph because he was a fan.

It was just that his subordinate, Yuya Kazami, Amuro Toru remembered that he liked to listen to Yoko Okino's music.

Asking for an idol's autograph and giving it to Yuya Kazami as a gift can also be considered a form of motivation for subordinates.

But in this case, it became that Qin Zhibo brought Toru Amuro to meet the female star in order to motivate Toru Amuro.

In order to motivate Kazami, Toru Amuro asked for the female star's autograph.

So Qin Zhibo is motivating his subordinates?

……

After signing, Qin Zhibo told Yoko Okino that Kogoro Mori would not arrive until later and they could go upstairs first.

Just as I was walking from the parking lot to the apartment building, a man got out of a blue Porsche Boxster.

"Miss Yoko!"

The man had his hands in his pockets and wore sunglasses even though it was dark. His thin face was angular.

"I didn't expect you to actually bring the famous detective Qin Zhibo here..."

As the man walked, he shifted his sunglasses slightly downwards.

At this moment of deviation, Qin Zhibo saw the information above his head.

Kenzaki Osamu, 26 years old, actor...

Although I have never heard of this name, the face seems familiar. I must have seen it on TV, but I just can't remember where.

Who is coming?

At this moment, Okino Yoko quickly broke the awkwardness and introduced: "This is Kenzaki Osamu, the actor who plays Samonji in the TV mystery drama "Detective Samonji."

"He's also the male lead at tonight's engagement party~"

Being reminded of this, Qin Zhibo also remembered that he had indeed seen it on TV.

But on TV, Sawamonji, played by Osamu Kenzaki, has a big scar on his face. When he appears, he always holds a wooden sword and looks like a playboy.

Since this person is even more pretentious than himself, Qin Zhibo doesn't like to watch him.

"Hello, Mr. Kenzaki."
