Teitan High School was leading a research activity for its students, which happened to coincide with the television station's open day. Therefore, they chose to visit the Nichiri TV station.

The TV station manager returned and led the tourists who had made reservations to the station on a tour. Onoshi happened to be in charge of the students at Teitan High School. During the tour, they ran into Rena Mizunashi, who was about to start her morning news broadcast.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all, but the morning news is about to start, so I'll have to excuse myself for a moment." Rena Mizunashi glanced at the time on her wrist and smiled as she said goodbye to the students.

The students were clearly excited about meeting celebrities and famous presenters at the TV station. So even after Rena Mizunashi had left, the students were still whispering among themselves.

Hondo Eisuke's gaze followed Rena Mizunashi as she left, and he only snapped out of his reverie when Sonoko called him.

"So, doesn't Rena Mizunashi look a lot like you?" Sonoko thought that Eisuke Hondo was just curious about Rena Mizunashi's similar appearance to his.

"Yes." Hondo Eisuke nodded. "She really makes me feel close to her."

"Students, now you can split into groups to visit the station." Ono said, instructing the staff to distribute the prepared temporary work passes to the students. "If you encounter any problems, you can ask the station staff for help at any time. At noon, you can have lunch in the station's cafeteria."

The students went to visit in twos and threes, and when almost everyone had left, Onoshi returned to his office with his hands in his pockets.

As soon as the office door closed, Ono Shi turned around and was startled to see Jiang Jin sitting on the sofa in his office, smiling and greeting him.

This was the first time the two had officially met, although Jiang Jin wasn't using his own face.

"You startled me, Dr. Jiang. How did you get in?" Ono said, pulling the office curtains shut. Jiang Jin replied slowly, "I just walked in. Why are you pulling the curtains? I came in openly. This makes our relationship seem very improper."

Onoshi paused, "Aren't we... bad guys? Does this make us seem even more villainous?"

Jiang Jin's expression was one of disagreement: "Don't talk nonsense, we just look bad."

It's actually worse.

"You said before that there was a very suspicious person at the TV station? What happened?" Jiang Jin came to see Ono Shi not to ask about Mizunashi Rena, but because he was concerned about the suspicious person at the TV station that Ono Shi had mentioned before.

Ono's expression changed upon hearing this. He quickly moved to sit next to Jiang Jin, his expression showing some tension: "I investigated that person. He came to the TV station three months ago. I hadn't noticed him before, but recently I discovered that someone was secretly collecting information about the celebrities from all walks of life who came to the TV station."

“After checking, I found that only this person is the most suspicious.” Ono took out a photo from his office drawer. Jiang Jin picked up the photo; it showed a young man.

She has black hair, slightly long bangs, wears thick-rimmed glasses, and has deep blue eyes. She seems somewhat introverted and is only considered pretty.

"What's his name?" Jiang Jin stared at the photo. Looking into the man's eyes as he looked at the camera, he felt that this young man was not as harmless as he appeared.

Ono thought for a moment, then said, "Sousuke Minamoto." He paused and added, "Lately, I've been feeling like there's a gaze watching me from behind. Is someone trying to kill me? There are so many people here today, and I didn't see Conan, but I'm a little panicked."

Jiang Jin put down the photo and patted Onoshi on the shoulder: "Then be careful today, don't act alone. I'll check on this person. Okay, I can't stay too long either, I'm leaving now."

Rena Mizunashi's morning news program lasted for half an hour, from 7:30 to 8:00. After the program ended, she kept thinking about Eisuke Hondo, who had appeared here that day.

Should she find an opportunity to meet with Eisuke? Rena Mizunashi wondered, but she hadn't yet figured out how to explain herself. Besides, she was worried that she was being watched…

"Miss Mizunashi".

Rena Mizunashi looked up and saw Eisuke Hondou already standing in front of her.

Akemi Miyano glanced back and forth between the two of them, then thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Mizunashi, I'll go back to my work now."

"Okay, thank you, Yami." Rena Mizunashi nodded gratefully to Akemi Miyano. Akemi Miyano noticed Eisuke Hondo's appearance as she passed by and realized that he looked very much like Rena Mizunashi.

What is their relationship? Miyano Akemi thought as she walked. She didn't actually leave, but stopped at the corner.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with...?"

After leaving Onoshi's office, Jiang Jin went to look for Sonoko and Hondo Eisuke. However, the TV station was quite large, and he wandered around for a while without finding them. Instead, he ran into the young man that Onoshi suspected.

The other person seemed very busy. The two of them only exchanged a glance before someone called out to him, "Yuan-kun, the show is about to start."

Gen Sōsuke responded, "Coming!"

Jiang Jin turned to watch the person leave, a hint of interest and wariness flashing in his dark red eyes. Remembering Ono's words, he took out his phone and sent someone to investigate.

He continued searching for people, and as he turned a corner, Jiang Jin almost bumped into someone. The other person took a step back and apologized, saying, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Jiang Jin glanced at the person, who was very tall and had rather exaggerated makeup on his face.

In the corridor of the TV station, Sonoko and Hondo Eisuke encountered Conan, Ran, the three children of the Detective Boys, and Professor Agasa, who had been invited by Yoko Okino.

"I never expected to run into you kids." Sonoko said, bowing as she saw Conan and the others. Hondo Eisuke glanced at Conan a few more times before pretending to be gentle and greeting the children.

Seeing that Sonoko and Hondou Eisuke were both wearing school uniforms, Ayumi asked, "Sonoko-neechan, why are you both wearing uniforms?"

"That's because our school is having a research activity today, so they brought us all to the TV station on Saturday," Sonoko explained, then asked Ran, "So why are you guys here too?"

Xiaolan replied, "It was Ms. Yangzi who invited us to the TV station."

"Then why don't we go together?" Hondo Eisuke said, taking advantage of the situation. Recalling the way Mizunashi Rena looked at Conan at the TV station, Hondo Eisuke's gaze became more suspicious, wondering about the other's true purpose for being there.

“Sure, but we need to get Mitsuhiko’s autograph now,” Genta said, looking up. “It’s a devil’s autograph, you know. We’re looking for him.”

Sonoko was completely confused: "A demon? What's that?"

"It's a celebrity who wears demon makeup, a celebrity named Satan Onizuka, and Mitsuhiko's older sister is a fan of his," Ran explained.

"I just saw someone with demon makeup." A voice interrupted, and the group turned to see Jiang Jin. They greeted him, "Teacher Amamiya."

Mitsuhiko quickly asked, "Did you just see Satan Onizuka, the one dressed as a demon?"

Jiang Jin's gaze lingered on Conan for a moment, then he silently prayed for Ono and the TV station; death had come after all.

“Yes, I just saw him.” Jiang Jin pointed in the direction behind him. “He walked that way. If you want to find him, I can take you there.”
