Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Seeing the girl's resolute attitude, Luo Tian stopped refusing and tentatively asked.

Although he is not picky about food, he still prefers the dishes from his hometown.

"Chinese food... I'll give it a try!"

Ran Mouri had dabbled in Chinese cuisine both in home economics classes and in her private life, so she had some confidence in agreeing to the invitation.

Seeing how easy she was to talk to today, the old father also came over with a smile.

"Hey Xiaolan, my beer for today..."

"no!"

Before her father could finish speaking, the girl firmly refused.

She recalled receiving the call from the TV station yesterday, but because her elderly father was drunk, she almost couldn't reply in time.

It's a mistake to drink!

This prompted her to reinstate the alcohol ban, strictly forbidding her elderly father from drinking at home.

"No!"

Kogoro Mouri looked up at the sky and sighed, reminiscing about the happy times of the previous two days.

Luo Tian glanced at him, then turned his attention back to his phone.

[Yuanzi: How about it? It's a villa in the mountains! The air is fresh, the environment is beautiful, it must be very interesting!]

This time, the young heiress didn't win any gold coins, but instead invited him to her villa in the mountains.

Note that "own" here refers to the entire mountain, not just a villa.

[Attorney Fei: The weather's been bad lately, remember to bring an umbrella if you go out.]

Attorney Fei also made a rare appearance.

Given Miss Suzuki's warm invitation, Luo Tian naturally wouldn't refuse.

【Xiao Luo: Okay, I'll go with Sister Xiao Lan! Thank you, Sister Yuanzi! (3)】

[Sonoko: Waaaaaah! Xiao Luo's kiss! *squeaks*]

A simple emoticon excited Miss Suzuki immensely.

Luo Tian had no doubt that if he appeared in front of her right now, he would probably lose his virginity on the spot.

This girl is terrifying!

Chapter 41 The Uncle's Single-Purpose Idol

The controversy surrounding Gin's confession speech lasted for several days.

People haven't seen such a fancy performance in a long time, and they've all been sharing their opinions online.

Some people have expressed doubts about the existence of the Black Organization, believing that this live broadcast was a farce staged by themselves.

Some people are very curious about the Black Organization and are looking for ways to join it through various channels.

Even more remarkably, some have used Gin's descriptions as a blueprint to create numerous literary and artistic works.

"My Years in the Black Organization," "An Organization Full of Traitors and Me, the Model Worker," "The Untold Story of My Little Brother Vodka," and so on!

These works include text, comics, and some of the bolder ones even want to be adapted into film and television dramas.

To risk their lives for a moment of fame, Luo Tian couldn't help but sigh, "The bold get rich while the timid starve!"

He's already said he's a heartless killer from a terrifying organization. Isn't he afraid of being retaliated against?

What Luo Tian didn't know was that he had only spoken a few words during the live stream, but the Black Organization was in deep trouble.

The consequence of their underwear being almost pulled down was that the members of the Black Organization had to stop all their tasks.

Not only did they have to escape the pursuit and interception of intelligence agencies from various countries, but they also had to revise the relevant regulations within the organization as soon as possible.

The most pressing issue is clothing!

Not everyone is as skilled at cross-dressing as that woman; dressing all in black and moving around outside can indeed easily attract attention.

Especially after watching the live broadcast, the number of calls to the Metropolitan Police Department regarding the discovery of men in black increased several dozen times.

This put the organization members in a very difficult situation.

Left with no other choice, they had to temporarily opt for a dark blue outfit as a replacement.

Another huge expense!

Of course, Luo Tian was unaware of this, since he had no inside contacts in the Black Organization and had no way of knowing what happened next.

In addition, the Mouri Detective Agency and the name of Kogoro Mouri have become somewhat known to the public.

Although it's not generating a huge buzz, it's still good news.

Sure enough, a customer came to visit us today.

……

After dinner, someone knocked on the office door, which annoyed Kogoro Mouri, who was watching a recording of Yoko Okino's TV show.

"Sorry, it's too late, I'm off work!"

Too lazy to even open the door, the scruffy, good-for-nothing uncle started seeing the guests off.

He was overshadowed by a mysterious man in black, and then his own daughter reinstated the Prohibition order.

Kogoro Mouri has been extremely depressed these past two days, completely lacking in energy.

"Uncle, you can't do this."

The young woman was cleaning upstairs, and Luo Tian naturally took on the task of receiving guests.

Without waiting for the useless uncle to speak, he jumped off the sofa and walked to the door with his short legs.

The doorknob of the office was a bit too high for him; he had to stand on tiptoe to open it.

But to his surprise, the customer outside seemed to be in a hurry as well. The door was only opened a crack when it was pulled open from the outside.

This caused him to lose his balance and fall headfirst forward.

The good news is, he didn't fall to the ground!

Even better news is that I fell into a sweet and soft embrace!

"Little brother, are you alright?"

Seeing the little boy fall headfirst out, the customer quickly caught him, afraid that he would bump into something.

I'm here to deliver a commission; it would be bad if I hurt someone.

If paparazzi were to publish a report based on hearsay, such as "Popular Idol Bullying Poor Child," then the situation would become even more ridiculous!

"I'm fine, thank you, big sister."

Looking up, Luo Tian could see the other person's face, which was hidden by a baseball cap.

A pure and lovely face, fair skin, and long brown hair—he was all too familiar with that look!

Almost every day, he would be dragged along by the useless uncle to watch various recordings of this person's shows, which caused him to sometimes dream about this pretty face.

That's right! The person who came was none other than Yoko Okino, Kogoro Mouri's most beloved idol and a popular singer!

Her presence here means... Just as Luo Tian was about to recall the possible cases, a pair of soft, jade-like hands suddenly appeared on his cheek.

Wow! Little brother, you're so cute! Would you be interested in becoming a child star?

He gently rubbed the little boy's bouncy cheeks and asked Yoko with a smile.

Me, a child star? Is this a genuine or fake version of Zun Du?!

Luo Tian was completely baffled by the female idol's actions.

……

"Hmph? Hmph hmph hmph?"

Inside the kitchen, Ran Mouri hummed a little tune as she washed the dishes.

Today was another peaceful day. After school, I played games with my little boy and did some daily tasks.

The reputation of the Mouri Detective Agency has also spread, though not much, but it's better than before.

She is becoming more and more satisfied with her life now.

"Could it be because Xiao Luo came?"

Recalling the system's nickname for her as a lucky star, the girl felt that it was the arrival of the little boy that changed everything.

Having spent so much time together, she had completely grown accustomed to Luo Tian's presence, treating him like family.

But she was a little unclear about what exactly her positioning was.

Beneath that caring affection for her younger brother, there seemed to be other emotions mixed in, which the naive girl was not quite aware of.

"Never mind, let's go check on Xiao Luo!"

After washing the dishes, Ran Mouri wiped her hands and went downstairs.

But as soon as she pushed open the door of the firm, she saw a magical scene!

The old father stood respectfully by the sofa, serving tea and water to a beautiful woman sitting on it, just like a servant.

But in the beautiful woman's arms sat a familiar little boy!

"Xiao Luo!"

Before her mind could even process it, the girl instinctively snatched the little boy from his arms and held him protectively in her own embrace.

Then, she took a closer look at the man's appearance and immediately understood why her father had done such a thing.

"Ahem! Ms. Yoko Okino, did Xiao Luo cause you any trouble?"

She coughed lightly, as if to justify her earlier behavior, and asked politely.

Chapter 42 Becoming a child star? No way!

Despite some setbacks, at her manager's urging, Yoko Okino explained the purpose of her visit.

She has been harassed by unknown people recently, and when she gets home she finds that the furniture has been moved, she receives silent phone calls, strange photos, and so on.

"Is it possible that in this situation, an exorcist is needed more than a detective?"

Luo Tian casually made a comment.

"Stop fooling around, Xiao Luo!"

Ran Mouri quickly covered the little boy's mouth, feeling a chill run down her spine.

She's terrified of this kind of thing!

"What?! This is unbelievable! I, Kogoro Mouri, will definitely protect you!"

Upon learning that his idol had encountered such a situation, Kogoro Mouri immediately expressed his stance with righteous indignation.

You'd never guess that just a few minutes ago he was so lazy he was about to see his guests off.

"That's right, Xiao Luo and I will help too!"

Knowing her father was unreliable, the girl immediately chimed in, and also dragged Luo Tian into it.

She knew that if any case really happened, she might have to rely on the little boy!

However, what Yoko Okino said next left everyone stunned.

"It's okay, those are just minor things..."

Small thing?

As a celebrity, and a popular idol at that, being followed and having one's home broken into is considered a minor matter?

The manager, who seemed to have little presence nearby, covered his face, thinking to himself that his artist was having another episode.

Sure enough, pointing at the little boy being held in the girl's arms as if asserting her ownership, Yoko Okino exclaimed as if she had discovered a rare treasure.

"I want to help him! I believe this child can become a world-famous child star, and even a real superstar in the future!"

Seriously?! Again?!

Luo Tian glanced at the female idol speechlessly, too lazy to respond.
