Early the next morning, Gao Yuan was awakened by the roar of a car engine, and then the doorbell at home was rang.
Gao Yuan struggled to get up. Seeing that it was now half past seven, he felt helpless. He got up and put on his clothes as quickly as possible to wash up. Then he opened the door and saw Kudo Yukiko already standing outside.
Today, Kudo Yukiko tied her long hair back and wore a pair of sunglasses, looking very capable. Behind her, there was a red sports car parked.
"Yukiko...sister."
Gao Yuan yawned and said, "Didn't you say that the new product sales will start at ten o'clock in the morning? It's not even eight o'clock now."
"Since it's an investigation, of course we have to go early. All the event participants are already there making preparations."
Yukiko said, "Hurry up, get in the car!"
So, Gao Yuan looked at the car that Yukiko drove over - look at the special inverted triangle on the front of the car. Sure enough, this car is an Alfa Romeo GTV! No wonder in the original work, when Yukiko returned to China and drove this car to take Conan out,
Conan would complain, "There are no other cars to rent."
After getting in the car, under the leadership of Yukiko, the two quickly arrived at the Mihua Municipal Building. After parking the car in the underground garage, they walked to the second floor of the shopping mall where the "Fusha Painting" new product sales meeting was located.
When we arrived at the shopping mall on the second floor, we saw the lobby at the entrance. Many staff were busy here at the moment, setting up a display stand. The sign on the ground next to it read "Fusha Painting". It seemed that
The booth for the upcoming new product launch event is here.
"Speaking of which, did the commission say who he was coming to find?"
Seeing the scene like this, Gao Yuan asked Yukiko beside him.
"Well, I remember that you just need to go directly to the store here to find the person in charge of this event."
Yukiko said as if thinking, then looked around and saw the "Fusha Painting" store not far away, but the store door was closed at this time, and a display board was specially erected at the door saying
It opens at half past ten today.
When she walked to the door of the store and looked at the locked front door, Yukiko had a puzzled expression on her face.
"Strange, why is the door closed?"
"However, it looks like there should be someone inside."
Gao Yuan looked into the store through the glass display window, saw the bright lights turned on, and made this judgment.
"Let's check to see if there is an employee entrance."
Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Yukiko suggested, then walked around to the side of the store and saw the employee passage that was open at this time.
"Quickly, go see how many chairs can be placed on site!"
A male voice came from inside the door, and then a young man in business attire was seen running out of the door in a panic. Then, a middle-aged man in business attire followed him out and watched the man leave.
He turned his back and murmured to himself: "Really, I can't even do this little thing well."
As he said that, the man saw Yukiko and Gao Yuan standing at the door.
"Is it possible? Are you Ms. Kudo?"
The man suddenly asked after seeing Yukiko.
"Well, yes."
"Hello. I am Hori Ryosuke, the person in charge of this event of 'Fusae'. I heard from President Kinoshita that I have been waiting here for a long time."
Hori Ryosuke said and led the two of them into the store.
Arriving at the store's office, Horisuke explained to Yukiko: "I also heard from the president that Mr. Kudo's wife is here this time. I didn't expect it to be a beauty like you. 'Baroness of the Night'
I have also heard of his name for a long time."
"Ah! Where, where!"
Being praised like this, Yukiko responded with a happy expression on her face.
"Actually, I originally advocated calling the police for this incident, but the person involved, Ms. Yamahara, was always unwilling. As a result, the president was alarmed. I'm really sorry for bothering you to come over."
Hori Ryosuke explained, then looked at Gao Yuan and asked: "Who is this gentleman?"
"Oh, he is my consultant this time. He is also a well-known detective!"
"Wise and lofty. Please give me your advice!"
After Yukiko's explanation, Takato introduced himself.
"Then can you tell us in detail what happened?"
Yukiko asked.
Hori Ryosuke did not explain in detail, but came to the door of an office, opened the door and motioned for the two of them to go in.
"Sorry, I still have something to do. You can ask the person involved first."
I saw three ladies in this office at this time. A lady in her twenties was wearing a dress and sitting on a chair. There was another makeup artist in her twenties who was wearing simple clothes.
She was wearing makeup, while another older-looking woman in professional attire stood aside.
"Ms. Zuli, the detective who came to investigate is here. You can entertain him first."
Hori Ryosuke said to the standing lady. After the other party responded, he said goodbye to several people present and left first.
There is no doubt that the lady in the dress is the person involved in this incident, Yamahara Qiuxi, and the other two seem to be the makeup artist and the agent - Gao Yuan judged this.
"Sufficient strength?"
Hearing Hori Ryosuke call this lady in professional attire, Yukiko seemed to think of something, but the other party also acted a little strange after seeing Yukiko.
"You...can't be the Fujimine Yukiko from back then!"
The lady called Zuli said in surprise.
"Yes, you are?"
"It's me. I was also one of the actors in Ryoma Sakamoto's TV series that you starred in!"
"Is it possible? You are Ashiki Ako!"
Yukiko thought about it and recognized the lady in front of her.
"Yazi, who is she?"
At this time, Yamahara Qiuxi, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly asked, her tone a bit sharp.
"She is a very popular actress twenty years ago, Fujimine Yukiko!"
Ashiki Ako didn't pay attention to Yamahara Qiuxi's tone, but still said excitedly.
"Humph, twenty years ago."
Yamahara Qiuxi said something in a low voice and stopped talking. This made Gao Yuan have a bad impression of this person after hearing this.
"I really didn't expect it was you here. When I heard that the president had entrusted Mr. Kudo, I wondered if I would have a chance to see you again, but I didn't expect you to actually come!"
Ashiko said excitedly, "Thanks to your support, I later had the opportunity to participate in other performances, so I have always wanted to thank you in person."
"Really? Then I'm really honored!"
Yukiko responded with a smile.
At this time, Masami Hirota drove up to the underground parking lot of Mihua Municipal Building, and the girl with short brown hair was also in the car.
Today, both of them were wearing similar clothes, a slightly tight white sweater and a dark knee-length pleated skirt, which highlighted their beautiful figures. The difference was that Hirota Masami was wearing a beige cardigan.
, and the girl with short brown hair is wearing a pink shawl.
After the two got out of the car, they talked and laughed and walked to the shopping mall above the municipal building, not paying attention to the Alfa Romeo GTV parked next to their car.
