Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

"Or do you want to wait for your uncle to come back? Or hire another detective?"

Luo Tian knew Kogoro Mouri's personality all too well; once he started drinking, he never stopped.

Especially this time, after not drinking for many days, he probably wouldn't come back until the girl got out of school unless he got completely drunk.

Hiring another detective would take time, and there's no guarantee of their background or capabilities.

Luo Tian knew very well that for female idols today, time was money, time was everything.

The longer it drags on, the more likely the media will find out about it.

Only by resolving the matter as soon as possible can we minimize its impact on her.

Yoko Okino didn't say anything, she just stared blankly at the little boy in front of her.

For some reason, she suddenly had a feeling that this cute little boy in front of her might actually be able to help her solve this problem.

But reason told her that it was impossible; after all, it was just a child in front of her, how could she possibly do that?

"Hey, are you leaving or not?"

"Where?"

The female idol snapped out of her daze and realized that the cute little boy in front of her had somehow gotten to the door and was tiptoeing, struggling to open it.

"Go investigate the case!"

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the corridor, Luo Tian seemed a little impatient.

On one hand, he was curious, and on the other hand, he was thinking about whether there was a chance to scam someone and earn some rewards. He was so bored at home these past two days.

But to Yoko Okino, this expression had a different meaning.

Want to play a detective game?

She muttered to herself, another plan popping into her mind.

While it's important to clear her agent's name and protect herself, she'll have to make other plans if things really get to the worst.

For example, continue to maintain a good relationship with this cute young boy, bring him into the entertainment industry, and then step back from the spotlight to become his agent.

Who knows, maybe in a few years, we can even play the unspoken rules or something... No, no!

Shaking her head, Yoko Okino instantly regained her senses.

"Let's go then!"

The female idol caught up with the young boy and gradually closed the distance between them.

Chapter 44 There's a mole!

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division office, a group of bachelors were working diligently.

After all, the crime rate in this area centered around Beika Town has always been high.

But thanks to the hard work of these bachelors, the case closure rate has remained at a very high level.

Of course, how many of these cases were wrongful convictions or miscarriages of justice remains unknown.

Why did we come here?

Yoko Okino hid behind Luo Tian, ​​trying to use her small body to cover her presence.

Unfortunately, the difference in size made it impossible.

The small horse certainly couldn't block out the large cart.

Meanwhile, her actions, coupled with wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, actually attracted the attention of many police officers.

She was initially pretending because she was afraid of being discovered.

"To get information about a case, of course you should contact the police! That's how it's always portrayed on TV!"

Luo Tian acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and didn't forget to make up an excuse.

In front of outsiders, there is no need to hide anything. Normal people would never guess that an adult would turn into a child. At most, they would think that the child is too precocious.

Whether it was out of fear of being recognized or for some other reason, the female idol ultimately failed to enter the Metropolitan Police Department building and simply waited outside.

Luo Tian did not insist on this.

Helping her is secondary; understanding the truth is the most important thing, and we can also find a lucky person to scam along the way.

……

"Speak! Did you do it?!"

Inside the interrogation room, Megure sat at the interrogation table, his eyes wide with rage, looking like a furious lion.

"I...I really didn't kill anyone..."

On the other hand, the suspect across the interrogation table looked timid and cowardly, which would make anyone think there was something wrong with him.

In fact, Eiichi Yamagishi did have problems.

As Yoko Okino's manager, he can be said to have single-handedly brought this popular idol to fame.

However, such collaborations inevitably lead to conflicts of interest, especially as the female idol's fame grows.

Eiichi Yamagishi knew very well that his time as a manager was coming to an end.

But he wasn't going to let such a big piece of meat go to waste.

So, in this final period of time, he teamed up with an outsider to prepare some dirt on Yoko Okino.

He could either force the female idol to continue working with him and make him his manager, or he could extort a large sum of money, which would be a fair way to make his hard work over the past few years worthwhile.

But who would have thought that last night, while taking his female idol home, this collaborator would be found dead in the bathroom?

"Your phone has been showing very frequent calls with the deceased, Tomoko Ikezawa, in recent days. How do you explain that?"

Megure interrogated her relentlessly, even though he had been asking these questions for almost the entire night.

"me……"

Eiichi Yamagishi cooperated well, becoming stammering at these times, as if he had a secret he wouldn't tell.

There was no other way; if he were to reveal it, even if he cleared his name, his career in this line of work would be over.

Who would dare hire an agent who would collude with outsiders to harm their own artists?

Moreover, revealing this matter will only make him more suspicious!

"I'm not going to tell you that the two of us are planning to blackmail Yoko Okino!"

Silence fell in the interrogation room again until a few minutes later, a voice spoke out what Eiichi Yamagishi was thinking.

"What?! You're actually extorting your own artist?!"

Megure was shocked; he couldn't believe there were agents like this.

"how do you know?!"

Eiichi Yamagishi was also surprised; he thought he had accidentally blurted out his true feelings.

But that voice didn't sound like my own!

The voice was crisp and clear, with a touch of childlike innocence—but how could there be a child here?!

"Looks like I guessed right!"

Luo Tian crawled out from under the table, a smug smile on his face.

He had just used the imperial decree, under the guise of Kogoro Mouri, to have the bachelors of the First Investigation Division review the case files, and then rushed to the interrogation room without stopping.

That's exactly what tricked them out of part of the truth!

"Little brother! How did you get in here? Wait, what are you doing here?"

Megure then noticed that a cute little boy had appeared in the interrogation room at some point.

"Uncle Mori asked me to help with the investigation!"

With a wave of his hand, Luo Tian directly shifted the blame onto Kogoro Mouri.

"I've got most of the information, so I'll be going now!"

Then, he ran out quickly, just as he had come, without leaving a trace.

Apart from Eiichi Yamagishi, whose moral compass was shattered.

The agent never expected that after holding out all night and preventing the police from getting anything out of him, he would be broken down by a little kid.

Is this reasonable? !

But he had no time to be sad. Upon learning the inside story, Inspector Megure immediately perked up, his eyes widening even more.

"Can you explain this properly now?"

……

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

As Luo Tian walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department, he muttered to himself.

He merely relied on the information he had gathered, combined with his memory of the plot, and a little guessing to confirm that Eiichi Yamagishi and Tomoko Ikezawa had once been in cahoots.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Writing threatening letters, making harassing phone calls, and breaking into female idols' homes multiple times—it would take training to do that even in Beika Town!

How can an actress do all this without being discovered?

If there's a mole, that makes a lot more sense!

As for the other party involved in this case... Oh ho, here he comes!

Searching for the female idol's location outside the Metropolitan Police Department gate, Luo Tian finally found her by a food truck on a street corner.

At the same time, a kind-hearted figure was also discovered secretly observing the female idol.

This is the legendary ex-boyfriend of Yoko Okino, Akiyoshi Fujie.

Now that the main character has arrived, Luo Tian naturally doesn't intend to continue playing the deduction game.

After all, he's not a detective, and there's more than one way to find out the truth!

Henshin (transformation)!

Walking into a deserted alley, a few seconds later, Luo Tian, ​​who had just taken a large dump, quietly appeared behind her ex-boyfriend Jun.

Meanwhile, Fujie Akiyoshi, who was following the female idol, was completely unaware that a dangerous figure had appeared behind him.

It wasn't until a precise chop to the back of his neck that he realized something was wrong, just a second before losing consciousness.

Oh no! I hope no one's going to try and take my remaining kidney!

Chapter 45 Megure: Thank you for the bounty of nature!

Fujie Akiyoshi was Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend during high school, but they eventually broke up.

The reason for the breakup was that the female idol became a sensation after being discovered by a talent scout and debuting.

To prevent unnecessary rumors, the manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, took it upon himself to give a sum of money to Akio Fujie, and that's how the ex-boyfriend became the ex-boyfriend.

After all, he knew that after Yoko Okino became famous, the two had gone down completely different paths.

Rather than end up disappointed, they might as well take advantage of the situation now.

After that, her ex-boyfriend's life became extravagant because of this money. He didn't look for a job after graduating from university and just squandered it recklessly.

But this period of prosperity did not last long. Soon his money ran out, and his life became difficult.

If I had taken this opportunity to find a job, I could have made a living.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Having gotten used to spending money lavishly, my ex-boyfriend simply didn't want his current lifestyle.

Looking at Yoko Okino, who was incredibly popular on TV, he couldn't help but have a bold idea.

He wants to get back together!

If I can get my girlfriend back into my arms, then I'll have money to spend anytime!

So he started looking for opportunities and trying every means to get close to his female idol, but the result... well, it was far from ideal.

This led this native Mikado person to habitually develop a dangerous idea.

If I can't have you, then I'll destroy you!

After careful planning, he devised a revenge plan, which he implemented last night.
