Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 99 Kudo Yusaku: One step too late
"Curly-haired fox, you're done," said Hibiki Eri gloatingly, "You actually wore the same clothes as a famous star."

"Oh no..." Fujimine Yukiko finally noticed the problem and immediately panicked, "What should I do? Why did I have to wear this?"

"It's the same, so it's the same," Maori Kogoro said, looking puzzled. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If one day, you and Shuichi attend an event and accidentally wear the same clothes," asked Kisaki Eri, "what would you think?"

"That certainly shows how close we are as brothers. We even have the same taste in choosing clothes," Maori Kogoro said, throwing his arm around his friend's neck. "Right, Shuichi."

"That's how you men think," Hibiki Eri said unhappily. "For women, wearing the same clothes in such an occasion is very embarrassing for both parties, and it's easy to be compared."

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone wore the same clothes as you, the one who looked the worst, be embarrassed?" Lin Xiuyi looked up and down at his free maid in confusion. "Yukiko looks really nice in her clothes, there's nothing to be nervous about."

"That's a big star from the United States. Even if the news media reports on it, they certainly won't dare to make fun of it. So who will they laugh at?" Kisaki Eri said with a teasing look. "Congratulations, curly-haired fox, you're really going to be famous!"

“…I, I’m not going!” Yukiko Fujimine looked sad, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute," Lin Xiuyi reached out and grabbed the girl, "Is it really that serious?"

"Yeah," Fujimine Yukiko nodded pitifully.

"You guys go in first, I'll go buy some things," Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment and walked towards the convenience store not far away.

In order to participate in tonight's event, Fujimine Yukiko was even willing to be a free maid for Hayashi Shuichi for a month. Although this was more of a joke between friends, it also showed the girl's anticipation for the film event.

As a friend, Lin Xiuyi naturally didn't want to see her disappointed.

"Tsk, the nice guy is meddling in other people's business again," Kisaki Eri curled her lips, but did not stop him.

"Mr. Lin, remember to go through the side door later," Officer Megure reminded him and called the remaining three people to go in together.

Yukiko Fujimine hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust Hayashi Shuichi and followed him into the Beika City Hall.

……

In the convenience store, Lin Xiuyi took a look around and bought almost everything he needed.

His method to deal with wearing the same clothes as others is very simple: just alter the clothes.

Previously in an izakaya, Yukiko Fujimine had demonstrated her extraordinary ability to modify clothing, easily changing the style of the izakaya's original work clothes.

With her level, altering an evening gown should not be a problem.

Thinking this in his mind, Lin Xiuyi picked up the things he had bought and walked towards the Mihua City Hall.

As a participant who entered the event through the back door, I naturally couldn't go through the main gate.

Lin Xiuyi went around to the side door, where there were also police officers guarding it. Not far away, there was a man standing sideways smoking, and his face could not be seen clearly.

After he explained the situation, the police officer thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for Inspector Megure from the Investigation Division to come out and take you in together."

you?

Lin Xiuyi turned around in confusion, and the man smoking also happened to look over: "Hello again, Mr. Lin."

The person who spoke was none other than the young man with glasses, Kudo Yusaku, whom Lin Xiuyi had met in the community park before.

"Inspector Megure said earlier that Manager Odagiri had asked an acquaintance to come and help," Lin Xiuyi suddenly realized, "So he was talking about you."

"I just came here to join in the fun. For such a large event, the police are on high alert, so nothing should go wrong."

Kudo Yusaku put out his cigarette and walked over.

"Also, I'd like to try my luck and see if I can get a chance to have my novel made into a movie." "Dark Night Baron" sold very well, Lin Xiuyi said casually, "It will definitely be adapted into a movie in the future, so why rush it?"

"This is my proudest work," Kudo Yusaku explained. "I don't want anyone else to interfere and mess up the novel when it's adapted for film or television, so I want to be able to choose everything from the director to the actors."

"Then I wish you to fulfill your wish as soon as possible."

Just as Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, Inspector Megure came out: "Mr. Lin, this is..."

"Yusaku Kudo, Manager Odagiri invited him to help," Hayashi Shuichi gave a brief introduction.

"Mr. Kudo, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter," Officer Megure said a few words, then walked in front to lead the way, leading Lin Xiuyi and the other into the city hall.
"The first floor has been temporarily converted into a gathering hall. After the press conference, the stars and directors will gather here to discuss future collaborations. This is also where we'll focus our defense efforts."

"But you don't have to worry too much. The Metropolitan Police Department sent us here mainly as a precaution. In the past ten days or so, for some reason, the crime rate in Mihua has suddenly increased several times..."

Speaking of this, Inspector Megure suddenly felt a little guilty. The crime rate in Beihua started to soar after he joined the company, and he was always worried that there might be some connection between the two.

There weren't many people in the spacious hall, and most of them were service staff preparing for the buffet reception.

Lin Xiuyi quickly found the other three companions who had come in earlier. Fujimine Yukiko also noticed him and hurried over.

The first time he saw Fujimine Yukiko, Kudo Yusaku's eyes lit up, as if he had met his dream lover, and he was stunned on the spot.

When the girl approached, he quickly and politely greeted her: "Miss, I'm Kudo Yusaku, it's a pleasure to..."

"Hello."

Fujimine Yukiko was in no mood to pay attention to him. What the girl cared about most now was whether she could still participate in tonight's activities. After casually responding to Kudo Yusaku's words, she looked at Hayashi Shuichi nervously: "How is it?"

"I've bought everything. Whether it works or not depends on you," Lin Xiuyi handed over the things in his hand.

When Yukiko Fujimine opened the bag and saw the needle and thread, she immediately understood Lin Xiuyi's method.

"Let's go to the lounge!"

She grabbed Lin Xiuyi's hand and walked quickly to the side corridor.

"That person is Kudo Yusaku. Haven't you always wanted his autograph?" Lin Xiuyi reminded.

"I don't care who he is!" Fujimine Yukiko snorted, "I just want to get the clothes sorted now."

Kudo Yusaku watched the two of them leave in a daze, his eyes fixed on the holding hands of Hayashi Shuichi and Fujimine Yukiko.

It was not until the two figures disappeared that he sighed regretfully: "A step too late."

In a corner not far away, Kisaki Eri also had a gloomy face as she watched Hayashi Shuichi and Fujimine Yukiko leave.

Maori Kogoro, who was standing next to him, struggled for a while before finally taking out a photo and handing it over.

"Eri, you've always liked this star, right? You can bring their photo to get an autograph later..."

"do not want!"

Kisaki Eri gritted her teeth and refused coldly, her eyes fixed on Hayashi Shuichi who was not far away.

Seeing this, Kogoro Maori scratched his head in frustration.

He stared at the photo in his hand for a while, and suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly crumpled the photo into a ball...
