Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

The show officially started recording.

"Welcome everyone to the dessert arena. Please enjoy a sweet night tonight. Before we reveal today's fruit, let me introduce two special guests.

First up, we have Ms. Yoko Okino, who is joining the show for the second time!

The second one is the currently popular exorcist detective - Mr. Kitagawa Taki!"

Following the host's introduction, Yoko Okino and Taki Kitagawa appeared on the big screen one after another.

The host asked, "Does Mr. Kitagawa like to eat desserts?"

Although they are not in the same venue, both sides can see and hear each other.

Beichuan Taki smiled and said, "I like it very much."

"Does Taki like desserts?" Sonoko whispered to Xiaolan and Miyano Akemi beside her.

She wondered why she didn't know.

Miyano Akemi covered her mouth and laughed, "Just going along with the show!"

She cooks every day and knows Kitagawa Taki's preferences best. She can't say she likes or hates desserts.

Sonoko nodded. She was so concerned that she forgot that this was a variety show.

After a brief warm-up session and the introduction of the two contestants, it was finally time to reveal the answer.

"As usual, the key to the safe deposit box at Touto Bank was given to me by producer Toshihide Taruoka."

The host took the key from the producer and slowly walked to the box.

"Next, let's open the box containing the forbidden fruit!"

A common problem of all variety shows is that they always drag their feet at critical moments.

After unlocking the box, the host walked around to the back of the box, holding the pull ring on the lid with one hand. "I'll reveal it to you right away. The fruit we're going to use today is..."

As the host slowly lifted the lid of the box, the box full of apples fell out.

When the lid of the box was fully opened, the audience couldn't help but talk about it, followed by screams one after another.

The photographer who was taking pictures suddenly felt his legs go weak and he sat down on the ground.

"Isn't that the judge Mr. Takeki?" Sonoko rubbed her eyes.

In addition to the bright red apples, the missing Takeki Masanori was inside the box!

Kogoro Mouri was the first to rush onto the stage, followed closely by Masumi Sera.

……

studio.

"Looks like the show has to be canceled." Kitagawa Taki asked the photographer to stop filming, then said to Okino Yoko, "Yoko, I'll go take a look."

"Taki, I want to go with you!" Yoko Okino just wanted to follow Taki Kitagawa.

Yamagishi Eiji on the side looked at the nose with one eye and the heart with the nose.

He knew what Yoko Okino was thinking. Although the company did not allow idols to date, he had seen how unusual Kitagawa Taki was and dared not interfere.

He can even deal with ghosts, let alone him alone.

So after Kitagawa Taki arrived at the studio, he asked all the staff to leave and left the two of them alone.

……

On the stage.

"It's no use, he's dead." Kogoro Mouri checked and found that Takeki Masanori's body was already cold.

"The cause of death was probably a heavy blow to the back of the head." He lifted up Takeki Masanori's head, and the scar on the back of his head was very obvious.

Sera Masumi tested it with his hand. "Judging from the stiffness of the body, he has been dead for at least half a day."

"What are you doing?" Kogoro Mouri slapped Sera Masumi's hand away.

"Detective Maori, I'm actually a detective too!"

"You?" Kogoro Mouri was a little suspicious, but he was sure that Masumi Sera's judgment just now was correct.

"Detective Mouri? Are you the 'Sleeping Kogoro'?" The host came over after hearing what the two were saying.

"That's right." Kogoro Mouri nodded.

"Mr. Takeki...is he really dead?" The host had not yet fully recovered from the shock.

Maori Kogoro said in a deep voice: "That's right, and it's murder! So please ask your production crew to call the police immediately and move all the audience away!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away." The host hurriedly arranged what Kogoro Mouri had asked him to do.

When Kogoro Mouri turned around to continue his investigation, he saw Taki Kitagawa and Yoko Okino walking towards him together.

"Miss Yoko!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately put the investigation aside and greeted Yoko Okino enthusiastically.

Okino Yoko smiled and said, "Detective Maori, long time no see."

Beichuan Taki asked, "Brother Maori, what's going on?"

Maori Kogoro said, "Mr. Takeki Masanori was murdered and locked in a box."

"He hit his head on the edge of the box when it was opened and was eventually stuffed into it."

Masumi Sera said, pointing to the bloodstains on the edge of the box.

The wiped bloodstain extended to the inside of the box.

Beichuan Taki pondered and said, "In that case, let's find the person who has the key first!"

Yoko Okino immediately gave Eiichi Yamagishi a look and asked him to call for help.

As an agent, I naturally know something about this show.

The person who holds the key is Kasuga Temple Bun and producer Taruoka Toshihide, who is in charge of purchasing fruits.

"Taki (Taki-kun)!"

After seeing Kitagawa Taki, Sonoko and other girls also came to the stage.

Only then did Yoko Okino have the opportunity to observe the girls closely, and only Xiaolan was someone she knew.

Even though she has always been confident about her appearance, she couldn't help but feel nervous now. These girls are all top beauties!

I just don't know what this has to do with Kitagawa Taki.

Beichuan Taki looked at the girls and said, "Why don't you find a place to rest?"

The women looked at each other and nodded. There was nothing for them to do if they stayed here.

Seeing this, Yoko Okino came forward and said, "I'll take you there!"

"Ms. Yoko!" Xiaolan greeted politely.

"Just call me Yoko!" Yoko Okino smiled without any sense of alienation.

Sonoko and Miyano Akemi nodded, both feeling that this popular idol singer was easy to deal with.

Haibara Ai frowned slightly. Why did she feel that Okino Yoko was too attentive?

Several women followed Yoko Okino to the previous studio.

Yoko Okino quickly got to know the girls.

"Miss Miho, why haven't I seen this before?" Seeing the doubt in Miyano Akemi's eyes, Okino Yoko explained, "I asked Mr. Kitagawa to exorcise a spirit before."

She was a little cunning and deliberately didn't call Kitagawa Taki's name in front of the girls.

Miyano Akemi said, "Is that so? Then I should have joined Taki-kun's office after that."

Sonoko became interested and asked, "Yoko, what exactly are you looking for Taki for?"

Okino Yoko didn't elaborate, but smiled and said, "Mr. Kitagawa saved my life!"

Xiaolan guessed that Yoko Okino might not want to bring up the past, so she secretly patted Sonoko's hand.

Yuanzi understood and didn't ask any further questions.
