Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 20 Three people traveling together

After Fujiwara Hiroshi and his companions left, reporters who had heard the noise surrounded the entrance. One of the reporters, with his keen sense of news, caught a glimpse of Kogoro Mori, sitting on the sofa at the crime scene, head bowed, still unconscious. He immediately began taking photos of him, his movements so dramatic that they alerted the surrounding crowd, causing several to react and join in the filming.

With the appearance of Inspector Megure and the surrounding noise, Maori Kogoro slowly regained consciousness. He heard Inspector Megure explaining that he had solved the suicide case disguised as a homicide. Suddenly, a group of reporters pointed their cameras at Maori Kogoro, and the microphones were about to poke Maori's nostrils.

Inspector Megure was relieved. He put the burden on Mouri Kogoro and took the personnel back to the Metropolitan Police Department. Of course, Mouri Kogoro didn't know anything about it. After all, it was not a case he solved. In the end, he had to admit that he was a genius and solved the case inadvertently. "Wahahaha!" The last photo everyone took was a photo of Mouri Kogoro laughing wildly with his tongue sticking out. Mouri Ran and Conan were far away and it was really unbearable to watch. The specific details of the case were restored by interviewing police officers the next day. The next day, a Japanese newspaper directly published a picture - a photo of Mouri Kogoro sleeping on the sofa with his head down. He was directly given the title of the famous detective Sleeping Kogoro. The person who took the photo was the young man with a keen sense of news.

Meanwhile, Fujiwara Hiroshi quietly led Okino Yoko and Ikezawa Tomoko out of the side door of the apartment. On the way, Fujiwara Hiroshi called Ozaki and asked him to bring his lawyer to the Metropolitan Police Department to bail out Yamagishi Eiichi. The three of them went to a cafe to sit down and talk.

After ordering three cups of coffee, the three of them sat down, with Fujiwara Hiroshi holding Okino Yoko on one side, and Ikezawa Tomoko on the other. At this time, Ikezawa Tomoko was still in a state of confusion, with too many questions in her mind. From the moment Okino Yoko called Fujiwara Hiroshi her husband, the direction of things had completely deviated from her previous expectations.

Ikezawa Tomoko now knows she was mistaken from the start. She mistook Fujiwara Hiroshi for a detective hired by Okino Yoko, and so she offered him a deal in exchange for his secrecy. Judging by the results so far, he's certainly kept his word, and he's done it brilliantly. When Kogoro Mori exposed her as the culprit behind the threatening letter, she defended him and suppressed the incident. But at the same time, she's even more confused about Fujiwara Hiroshi's identity.

Currently, all we know is that police officers referred to him as Mr. Fujiwara, and Ikezawa Tomoko doesn't even know his full name. Secondly, Okino Yoko has never been involved in any dating rumors, so how could she suddenly have a boyfriend outside the industry? Not only is their relationship close, but it seems her manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, also tacitly approved it. As an industry insider, Ikezawa Tomoko knows that their relationships require the company's approval, which also casts a shroud of mystery around Fujiwara Hiroshi. Furthermore, the relationship between her and Fujiwara Hiroshi that afternoon was a matter of some kind. Although it was just a transaction, learning that the transaction was with Okino Yoko's boyfriend was a bit of a mystery. Ikezawa Tomoko herself didn't know the other person was Okino Yoko's boyfriend, but he definitely knew her identity and made such ambiguous remarks. This is why Ikezawa Tomoko chose to resolve the matter with a transaction. Now everything seems out of control, and I wonder where this will go. Will Okino Yoko feel that Ikezawa Tomoko seduced her boyfriend?

Too many questions filled Ikezawa Tomoko's mind and she didn't know where to start. Just when Ikezawa Tomoko was lost in thought, Fujiwara Hiroshi spoke.

"Ms. Ikezawa, first of all, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Fujiwara Hiroshi, and I am the current head of the Fujiwara Group."

The opening bombshell sent a throbbing throbbing through Ikezawa Tomoko's head. While she had anticipated Fujiwara Hiroshi's unusual identity—after all, capturing Okino Yoko in such a short time was not something an ordinary person could do—the identity of the head of the Fujiwara Group was still completely beyond Ikezawa Tomoko's comprehension.

"As for the relationship between Yoko and I, as you can see, we are currently boyfriend and girlfriend." When Fujiwara Hiroshi introduced their relationship, Yoko Okino directly hugged Fujiwara Hiroshi with her arms and snuggled up to him.

This action once again challenged Ikezawa Tomoko's perception of her. She had initially assumed that Okino Yoko was forced to submit to Fujiwara Hiroshi's oppression and become his lover because of his status. Unexpectedly, Okino Yoko genuinely loved Fujiwara Hiroshi and was deeply in love with him. When Fujiwara Hiroshi introduced Okino Yoko as his girlfriend, Okino Yoko's heartfelt joy was unconcealed, and the way she snuggled up to Fujiwara Hiroshi was a reflection and expression of this joy! Seeing this, Ikezawa Tomoko's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"What I'm going to say next is the key." Seeing Fujiwara Hiroshi hit the point, Ikezawa Tomoko couldn't help but stiffen. "Although you may have misunderstood me this afternoon, after all, we've already made a mistake and entered into a relationship. I'm giving you two choices: one is to continue to make a mistake and become my girlfriend, and maintain our relationship; the other is to treat this as a deal, as we agreed this afternoon, and live our separate lives from now on."

As Fujiwara Hiroshi finished speaking, Ikezawa Tomoko bit her lower lip and fell into deep thought. She hadn't expected Fujiwara Hiroshi to reveal their relationship openly and without hesitation. After a moment, Ikezawa Tomoko asked,

"If I choose the first option and continue with this, what will happen to Yoko Okino?"

Tomoko Ikezawa has not figured out the key point yet. From beginning to end, Fujiwara Hiroshi never said that he wanted to give up on Yoko Okino. Tomoko Ikezawa asked a stupid question.

"Of course, it's the same as before. It seems you still don't understand, so let me explain it more bluntly. If you choose the first option, you will become my girlfriend, just like Yoko, and you will also have the same resources as Yoko. At the same time, you will also get the corresponding promise that I will not abandon you during my lifetime. Of course, you must also accept the situation that I cannot officially marry you into the Fujiwara family, and that there will definitely be more than just the two of you serving me in the future. If you choose this first option, you must be loyal to me in the future and must not betray me, otherwise you will be sanctioned by the Fujiwara Group! If you choose the second option, our deal and promise made this afternoon will still be valid. I can directly represent Yoko and will not hold you accountable for anything. As long as you don't do the same thing to Yoko in the future, I will let bygones be bygones. At the same time, you can freely date other people and I will not interfere. Of course, you will not be able to get even the slightest support in terms of resources."

"Plan A or B? Make your choice!" Fujiwara Hiroshi stated the situation more directly, leaving it to Ikezawa Tomoko to choose. He laid out all the rights she could enjoy and the obligations she should fulfill, giving Ikezawa Tomoko the power to choose freely, leaving it to her to decide whether to go or stay.

"Sister Tomoko, Fujiwara-kun is really a great choice. Although I will never be the only one he loves, I never ask for anything. As long as I am in his heart, that's enough. Just think about it, with Fujiwara-kun's status, even if he forcibly snatches the two of us away, plays with us for a while and then abandons us, we have no way to stop him. But why does Fujiwara-kun disdain to do such a coercive thing? What he wants is our willing following, not our physical submission, but he is gritting his teeth in his heart, which is definitely not what he wants to see. He won't force you to accept it, and you can leave directly. Every word that Fujiwara-kun says on my behalf is valid. I will not hold you responsible, but you will also lose the opportunity to join this big family forever. I hope you can join our big family." Yoko Okino extended her hand to Tomoko Ikezawa and invited her.

To be honest, Ikezawa Tomoko was obviously moved, but when faced with the choice, she was hesitant and didn't know what to do? Perhaps Ikezawa Tomoko was more entangled in how to make herself agree more naturally, and Okino Yoko's invitation gave her a big push. Yes, Okino Yoko, who is currently more famous and more popular than her, agreed willingly, so why should I hesitate?

As if she had made up her mind, Tomoko Ikezawa shook the hand that Yoko Okino extended in invitation, and after a brief contact, they quickly separated.

Fujiwara Hiroshi was unfazed by this scene, needing to give Ikezawa Tomoko time to process it. After all, she'd been through a lot tonight: getting involved in a murder case, then being exposed by Mori for sending threatening letters to Okino Yoko, and finally, being invited to share her husband. Any one of these would have been incredibly shocking, but with all of them happening to Ikezawa Tomoko at once, it's safe to say the intensity of this wasn't just a simple 1+1=2 multiplication; it was an exponential explosion.

Since Ikezawa Tomoko had made her choice, Fujiwara Hiroshi would definitely accept her calmly. Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at the time and saw that it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. He called Ozaki again and learned that Ozaki was currently on bail at the Metropolitan Police Department for Yamagishi Eiichi. He told Ozaki the address of the cafe and asked Ozaki to pick them up and take them back to Fujiwara Hiroshi's apartment in Mikacho.

After explaining Ozaki...
