After getting Lin Yi's phone number, Yoko Okino immediately became radiant, extremely happy and excited.
After taking back her phone, she satisfiedly saved the phone number.
"Don't mention what you just saw to anyone, got it?"
Lin Yi repeatedly instructed.
"Mmm hmm."
Yoko Okino readily nodded, after putting her phone back, she curiously asked: "Can I ask, why are you doing this?"
"If others know that you actually solved these cases, then you'll become famous very quickly."
Yoko Okino started her trainee life in high school, and her greatest desire was to become a household idol, so she desperately accepted various trainings.
Therefore, she couldn't understand Lin Yi's thoughts.
Clearly you can become famous and become the focus of everyone's attention.
Why don't you want to?
It's like people who eat sweet tofu can't understand the mentality of those who eat savory tofu.
"Because once I become famous, it will bring me a lot of trouble." Lin Yi told the truth: "I'll be recognized when I walk on the street, I won't be able to travel easily, and going to my favorite restaurant to eat will also become difficult."
"I prefer freedom…"
"I see… I can understand your thoughts."
After hearing this, Yoko Okino felt this very deeply.
Since she became popular, she had gradually become aware of the troubles that fame brought her.
Not to mention going to a restaurant to eat, even going downstairs to the nearby convenience store to buy things would attract the attention of others.
Her words and actions might be photographed by reporters, and those reporters, in order to attract attention, would describe passers-by who happened to be walking together as her boyfriend, regardless of whether it was true or not. Anyway, they would write nonsense as long as they could ensure that the newspaper would sell.
This forced her to disguise herself well every time she went out, not only wearing a mask, colored contacts, and a wig, but also using makeup to slightly change her face shape.
"Alright… I should go."
Lin Yi turned to leave and opened the warehouse door, saying: "If others know that Yoko Okino is staying with a little assistant like me, there will be rumors… I'll leave first, you come out later."
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Yoko Okino smiled at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's figure clearly paused.
Yoko Okino then said with a smile: "Just kidding~~"
Lin Yi showed a relaxed expression before leaving the warehouse and closing the door with a click.
After the door closed, Yoko Okino's mouth moved, as if she said something. After waiting for a while, she then left.
She had already met the person she wanted to meet, and she had already said what she wanted to say.
Yoko Okino happily returned to the dressing room on the ninth floor.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw that her assistant, Misa, had already returned.
"Yoko? Where did you go? I was just about to call you."
Misa saw that it was Okino Yoko who came in, and put her phone back.
"Went to the restroom..." Okino Yoko changed the subject and said, "What did you buy for me?"
"Sushi ~ ~"
Misa picked up a bento box and shook it. She quickly sat down on the sofa, patted the empty seat next to her and said, "Yoko, come and sit down quickly... The reasoning show is about to start!"
"Reasoning show?" Okino Yoko curiously sat down.
"It's your idol detective Kogoro Mouri's reasoning show."
Misa handed the bento box and chopsticks to Okino Yoko and said, "This is a live broadcast that can only be seen inside the TV station."
"Is that so?"
After learning that the famous detective was just a paper tiger, Okino Yoko was no longer very interested in Kogoro Mouri.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Misa noticed that Okino Yoko was not as excited as she had imagined, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You don't seem very excited."
"I just met him, so I'm not that excited." Okino Yoko said with a smile.
"That's true... But I have to say, Mouri Detective's assistant is really handsome."
Misa couldn't help but say, "He's handsome and smart. Most, most, most importantly, his voice is super nice... He's simply my ideal boyfriend."
Speaking of which, Misa thought of something and said to Okino Yoko, "I remember you're into voices, Yoko, right? How about it? Did you have any other thoughts about that assistant?"
"No."
Okino Yoko is no longer a newbie who just debuted. Based on the various gossips that have happened over the years, she understands that even her own assistant cannot be confided in, because they might sell her out for money at any time.
"Although his voice is good, he's too young." Okino Yoko misled with a serious face: "I don't like younger boys, they're too insecure."
"That's true."
Misa nodded in agreement, and then focused her attention on the TV: "Oh... It's starting."
Looking at Lin Yi's figure appearing on the TV, the corners of Okino Yoko's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.
— — — — — — — — — — — —
The highest level of picking up girls is not to be proactive, but to be passive.
Okino Yoko thought she had caught Lin Yi's weakness, but she didn't know that she had never been in control from beginning to end.
Lin Yi quietly stood beside Kogoro Mouri as a foil, even cooperating with his instructions.
He completely took on the role of an assistant.
If Lin Yi performed very well in the detective show just now.
Then now is Kogoro Mouri's shining moment!
He immediately suppressed Lin Yi's limelight.
Whether it was the actors or the program director, they were all amazed by his reasoning show.
Kogoro Mouri shouted loudly:
"Whose is the first number in the call history of the phone in your upper pocket?"
Hearing this, Inspector Megure stepped forward and pressed the redial button on the phone from Matsuo's upper pocket.
The next second, the phone in the evidence bag immediately rang.
Kogoro Mouri said: "It's Mr. Suwa's phone!"
Seeing the somewhat flustered Matsuo, Kogoro Mouri took another step forward.
He questioned: "Mr. Matsuo, I remember that after I used your phone on the show, you kept it in your upper pocket. Who else can use it besides you?"
Matsuo Takashi couldn't defend himself and stopped struggling, bowing his head to confess his guilt.
And Kogoro Mouri gained a large number of fans nationwide because of this nationally broadcasted event.
