"Yukinoshita-san, if you're not feeling well, you can take a leave this afternoon and go to the infirmary to rest."

After hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said in the cafeteria, Xiaolan observed carefully and found that Yukino's mental state was not particularly good, so she said with concern.

"Yes, the afternoon classes are not particularly difficult. Let Xiaolan help take notes, and you should be able to follow easily, Yukinoshita." He shrugged casually. Putting aside the difference in her initial cold attitude towards Yukino, after getting to know her, Sonoko still quite liked Yukino's serious attitude towards work.

"Thank you for your concern. If I feel unwell, I will go to the infirmary." Yukino nodded slightly. She did not refuse Xiaolan and Sonoko's concern.

But the slightly flickering look in her eyes showed that Yukino was not in a very stable mood.

But she knew clearly that she couldn't sleep not simply because of fatigue.

'Maybe I'm just too sensitive.' Yukino bit her teeth lightly and wondered to herself.

"I'll take a closer look after I get home today. If something is really wrong, it's impossible for me to not notice it at all!"

. . .

"So, Kogoro-kun, I'm happy that you don't treat me as a guest, but you should at least clean up the house." Looking at the messy coffee table with a helpless look, Shizuka Hiratsuka complained helplessly.

Well, Shizuka Hiratsuka completely forgot about the garbage she had left on the coffee table in the apartment and had not yet picked up.

"Hey, I forgot, I forgot." There was no embarrassment on his face, and Kogoro smiled shamelessly at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was so familiar with him.

It’s okay that Kogoro is thick-skinned, but Xiaolan next to him can’t stand her father being so sloppy.

With a shameful smile on her face, Xiaolan handed a garbage bag to Kogoro.

"I'm going to cook, Dad, you clean up the house, please~"

"Uh, okay! No problem, my favorite thing to do is clean the house!"

Speechlessly watching Kogoro, Shizuka Hiratsuka and Conan, whose attitude changed drastically and who diligently cleaned up the coffee table with a look of "I'll be angry if anyone stops me", sighed silently.

"So, what exactly did you call me here for, Kogoro?" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, rolled up her sleeves and asked while helping Kogoro throw the empty bottles into the bag.

"Ah, there are some things." Kogoro, who was hesitant to speak, glanced at Conan who was sitting on the sofa next to him, and unhappily drove him to the other side to do his homework.

"Xiao Jing, have you been...?"

“Ding Dong!~”

"Well, who is it at this time?" They all raised their heads, and Shizuka Hiratsuka and Kogoro looked at the door of the office in surprise.

Scratching his head, Kogoro Mouri walked over with an impatient look on his face.

"Mouri Detective Agency, we're closed for today. If you have anything to do, please come back early tomorrow."

Before the door was closed, the half-turned body froze in place.

The expression on her face was complicated and interesting. Before Shizuka Hiratsuka could figure out what was going on, Kogoro Mouri turned around in an instant and shouted in surprise at the woman in the wide-brimmed hat at the door.

"Okino Yoko!!"

"Okay, I get it!" After slapping herself on the head, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked speechlessly at Kogoro Mouri who rushed back to the inner room to change clothes.

She really didn't understand. She was already old, but still chasing stars like a youngster. What the hell was going on?

. . .

"Please enjoy, Miss Yoko!" Kogoro Mouri, who had changed into a clean suit, placed the tea on the tray in front of Yoko Okino and said in a calm tone with a decent smile on his face.

"Ah, thank you!" A little confused by Kogoro Mouri's previous series of actions, he nodded blankly at Yoko Nono.

"You're still here at the detective agency so late. I guess you must have something important that you need my help with." After adjusting his tie, Kogoro spoke slowly.

Shizuka Hiratsuka can guarantee that she has never seen Kogoro Mori so calm and serious.

"Xiaolan, now I know why Sister Yingli doesn't want to go home..."

“Ah, ahahaha ^_^||| ”

Chapter 133 Xiaolan, call the police!

After taking a casual look at this female star, I found that she is indeed beautiful and lovely.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who is not much of a fan, was not as excited as Kogoro. Looking at the two parties sitting on the sofa as if they were about to start talking, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked, stood up and walked into the kitchen.

"Uh." After taking a look at the ingredients that had been cut and sorted on the chopping board but not yet cooked, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head and turned to look at Xiaolan who was standing next to Kogoro in the office and looking at Okino Yoko curiously.

After all, Xiaolan is just an ordinary girl, and she would be excited to see her idol on TV coming to her home.

Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the refrigerator door, thought for a while, gave up the idea of ​​drinking, and took out a bag of shredded squid and a can of carbonated drink.

Holding the supplies she found in her hands, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked to the back of Kogoro Mouri's desk as if no one was around and sat down on the chair lightly.

While watching the show on TV, I tore the squid into strips and put them into my mouth.

By the time Xiaolan woke Shizuka Hiratsuka from her trance, she had almost eaten up the bag of squid shreds.

"Are you done?" After swallowing the last piece of squid in her mouth, Shizuka Hiratsuka put her hands behind her head and stretched lazily.

"It's been agreed, but it seems we can't have dinner tonight." Xiaolan smiled a little embarrassedly and glanced at Kogoro Mouri who was already packed and ready to leave behind her.

"Dad promised Miss Okino Yoko that he would go to her house to check on the situation."

"Oh, I see." Shizuka Hiratsuka rolled up the squid strips packaging and threw it into the trash can. After eating a bag of snacks, she was not that hungry.

"Then I'll go with you." After thinking for a while, he realized that there was nothing important to do in the evening, and Kogoro hadn't told him what he wanted to say. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well go with him to see what was going on.

"Hey, Aunt Jing is going too?"

"Ran, what are you doing? If you slow down any more, I won't take you with me!" Kogoro Mouri, who had already walked to the door, leaned against the door frame and shouted loudly.

"Xiao Jing, why don't you wait for me at my house? I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will be able to solve the case quickly!~"

"I'm going too. It's so boring here. There's not even a game console." Shrugging, Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up from the chair, shaking her car keys in her fingers.

"I'll keep an eye on you, so you don't act recklessly while Sister Yingli is away."

"Ahem, what are you talking about? I'm a gentleman."

"Yo~ Then let's go quickly, Mr. Gentleman."

. . .

"It turns out that popular idols also live in relatively high-end apartments like this." After closing the car door casually, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked up at the towering apartment in front of her.

"In terms of security and strictness, it's still acceptable, but it turns out that actors in Japan don't have it as easy as they did in China in my past life."

After casually sighing a few words, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded to Xiaolan who greeted her and slowly walked over.

Yoko Okino's agent seemed very dissatisfied with Shizuka Hiratsuka who came alone. It was his reluctant decision to come to find Kogoro Mouri, but the fact that in addition to Kogoro's family members, an unrelated woman also came to the apartment made him very uncomfortable.

However, Shizuka Hiratsuka has always pretended not to see such looks.

I'm not causing any trouble, so why are you looking at me like that? Speaking of which, today was supposed to be a party with my friends. If you hadn't come and interrupted me, I would have been enjoying a steaming hot meal right now.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, without any emotion in her heart, glanced at her agent calmly.

If he keeps on talking, I'll make him shut up.

"Please come with me." Compared with her agent who seems to be sharp-tongued, the sweet-looking Yoko Okino's performance so far has been particularly comfortable. She does not have the airs of a popular star at all, and every move she makes is gentle and slow.

This made Shizuka Hiratsuka, who originally didn't like her, look up to her.

With such an attitude and her sweet looks, it is normal for her to become popular.

"This is it, my apartment." After coming out of the elevator, Yoko Okino took out a key from her bag and prepared to insert it into the door lock.

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was standing behind Kogoro Mouri and lazily looking at the night view outside the fence, suddenly blinked.

Although it was a little vague, Shizuka Hiratsuka could indeed smell a scent that was quite familiar to her.

"Please wait a moment." Without saying a word, Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched out her hand to stop Yoko Okino who was about to open the door. Her expression was a little serious, and she put her nose to the crack of the door and sniffed carefully.

When she raised her head again, Hiratsuka Shizuka's serious expression had turned solemn.

"Madam?" He looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who stopped him in surprise and asked Yoko Nono weakly.

"What's wrong, Shizuka?" Kogoro, who was standing next to Shizuka Hiratsuka and clearly saw the change in her facial expression, also frowned.

He knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka was not the kind of person who liked to joke for no reason. Something must have happened to make her, who was braver than the sky, show such a serious expression.

"..." Without immediately answering Kogoro Mouri's question, Shizuka Hiratsuka twisted her neck slightly and took the key from the still dazed Yoko Okino.

Shizuka Hiratsuka gently put her ear to the door, closed her eyes and listened silently for about seven or eight seconds before opening her eyes again.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Shut up!" Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly turned her head and glared at her agent who spoke in dissatisfaction for no reason.

"There is a strong smell of blood in there." Shizuka Hiratsuka was extremely cautious as she did not hear any heartbeats on the other side of the door and was not sure if there was no one in the room.

She always remembered what kind of mysterious organization she was dealing with.

"The smell of blood!" His eyes widened suddenly, Kogoro Mouri took a deep breath and loosened the tie on his suit.

"Is there anyone else inside the door?" Knowing Shizuka Hiratsuka's skills, Kogoro Mouri did not doubt her judgment. After lowering his voice, he even moved his body slightly.

"There are no living people near the inner gate, and I don't know about other places." Seeing that Kogoro Mouri understood what he meant, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded.

"Xiaolan, you stay outside the door to protect Conan and this celebrity. Your father and I will go in and take a look."

"I, I understand!" Xiaolan, who wanted to dissuade her, obediently agreed under the determined look of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Okay, Brother Kogoro, the position near the gate is left to you." After taking a deep breath and adjusting her state, Shizuka Hiratsuka inserted the key into the door lock.

"it is good!"

"Click~"

"Bang!" The door lock had just turned when the door of the apartment was suddenly pushed open. With just a glance at the corpse lying in a pool of blood in the living room, Shizuka Hiratsuka took two steps at a time and rushed into the room inside.

"Ran, call the police." Standing inside the gate, looking at the corpse on the ground, Kogoro Mouri looked around seriously.

"Yes, Dad!"

Chapter 134: One, three, three, that’s it?

"How's it going, Xiaojing, is anyone there?"

Kogoro Mouri didn't have to wait long. After checking the empty rooms in the house, Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly returned to the living room.

"There's no one here. The whole room is empty." Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head and seemed a lot more relaxed after the alarm was lifted.

"What was that kid screaming about just now? Could it be that Conan was scared by the corpse?" Thinking of the scream she just heard in the room that made her speed up, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked towards the door with amusement.

"Huh?" He blinked in surprise. In addition to the original Xiaolan, Conan, Okino Yoko and her agent, three strange children appeared at the door of the apartment.

"Who are these three children?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked curiously and asked Xiaolan at the door.

"Ah, they are Conan's classmates. I don't know how they followed us here." Xiaolan answered softly, having recovered from the shock of finding the corpse on the ground.

"Why did Conan's classmates follow us here?" Looking at the three children standing behind Xiaolan, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes became more confused.

"We, we wanted to be friends with Conan, so we followed him!" The little girl poked her head out like a trembling quail, her voice shaking as she didn't even dare to look at the corpse on the ground.

"Oh, you want to make friends. I didn't expect that you, Conan, are so charming." Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile, shaking her head in amusement.

"Well, Xiaojing, you come out and speak first. Don't stand next to the corpse and laugh. It's quite weird." Touching his hair, Kogoro Mouri spoke in a subtle tone.

"Oh, that's true. It's my fault." After a moment of hesitation, Shizuka Hiratsuka realized that there was a dead body next to her. She nodded with a wry smile and quickly walked out of the room.

"Well, Xiaolan, take these kids away first, and call their families. This isn't a place for kids to be. Don't go too far away. Just take a couple of steps over there until you can't see them from the room." She waved her hand to let Xiaolan take the kids away first. Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the male corpse on the ground, then looked at Yoko Okino and Eiichiro Yamagishi, who were standing aside and had not fully recovered from their shock.

"Squeak~" The sound of grinding wheels rubbing against each other was heard. Amidst the strange looks from others, Shizuka Hiratsuka lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

"Hu~" She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and Shizuka Hiratsuka tried her best to keep her expression calm. After all, it was the scene of a death and it would not be appropriate to smile.

"It seems that you two know the dead person. That's interesting. Someone you know died in your own home. Tsk tsk." Shaking her head slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke softly.

"Before the police arrive, please stay quiet and don't talk to each other, okay?"

"I understand." Yoko Okino nodded gently, with a sad expression on her face, holding her hat and slowly leaning against the wall.

As for the agent, Yamagishi Eiji had a wry smile on his face and took out his mobile phone helplessly.

"Well, ma'am, no matter what, since something like this happened in Yoko's family, I still need to contact the company."

"I won't understand until the police arrive." Shizuka Hiratsuka chuckled and shook her head, leaving no room for bargaining.
