Chapter 38: A Call from Yoko Okino

"Sister Ying, are you really not going with us?"

At the door of the office, Moriran turned to look at Karasuma Ying again.

"No need Xiaolan, I'll just stay and watch the office, don't worry, if there is any commission, I will help Mr. Maori write it down." Karasuma replied with a smile.

On the other side, Mori Kogoro, Eiyu Hondo, and Conan had already gotten into Mr. Triangle's car first.

Mr. Triangle is a middle-aged man who has just come to the office, and he has come to entrust Mr. Mori to find his girlfriend.

According to Mr. Triangle, after a big fight with his girlfriend last night, his girlfriend ran away from home in his car in a fit of rage.

In order to find his girlfriend as soon as possible, and at the same time to get back the business plan book he put in the car as soon as possible, Mr. Triangle came to the famous detective Mr. Mori.

Mr. Mori, after considering the quarrel between Mr. Triangle and his girlfriend last night, deduced that Mr. Triangle's girlfriend was likely to drive to the ski resort in Gunma Prefecture, where the two of them first met.

So, in order to help Mr. Triangle find his runaway girlfriend, Mr. Mori decides to take a trip to Gunma Prefecture.

In addition to Mr. Triangle, there are also Maoriran, Conan, and the unlucky child Eiyu Hondo.

As for Suzuki Sonoko, she was just called home by a phone call from Shimizu Shizu.

Karasuma Ying, on the other hand, decided to stay and watch the office.

"Xiaolan, hurry up and get in the car."

In the car, Mori Kogoro shouted to Mori Lan, and at the same time said to Yakarasuma Ying:

"Xiaoying, we should not come back until one o'clock in the evening, if you can't wait, it doesn't matter if you go back first, you don't have to wait for us all the time."

"Well, I understand, Mr. Maori, be careful on your way." Karasuma Ying smiled and nodded.

"Sister Ying, let's go first."

"Okay, be careful on the road, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

Mao Lilan also got into the car, and after the two waved, Mr. Triangle slowly started the car.

Watching everyone go away, Karasuma Ying turned around, opened the mailbox downstairs of the office, and took out all the letters inside.

It was time for her to deal with the letters that had piled up over the past few days, and if there was a commission in them, she would pick them up first, and then decide whether to take them when Mr. Maori returned.

When I returned to the office, it was already an hour later when Karasuma Ying had sorted out the contents of each letter and sorted them all.

"Jingle bell!"

Just as she got up to make dinner for herself, the office phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, this is the Maori Detective Agency, do you need any help?" Karasuma Ying picked up the phone and asked with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't it Mr. Maori? ”

There was a nice female voice on the other side of the phone, and Karasuma Ying always felt that the female voice was somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

"Excuse me, are you ......"

"Ah, I'm Yoko Okino, a friend of Mr. Mori, may I ask who you are?" On the other end of the phone, Yoko Okino asked.

"Huh? Miss Yoko?! It's me, Ori Detective's assistant Karasuma Ying. It was Yoko Okino who was a little surprised to call, and Karasuma Ying hurriedly replied.

"Oooh! It's Xiaoying's sister! Yoko Okino also remembered and said excitedly.

The two have known each other before, when Karasuma Ying had just become Mori Kogoro's assistant, and Yoko Okino knew the commission she and Mori Kogoro handled together for the first time - the idol secret room murder case.

At that time, Yoko Okino wanted to ask Kogoro Mori to investigate the recent harassment incident near her home, but accidentally discovered that her ex-boyfriend had been killed in her home.

Later, it was through Maori Kogoro's reasoning that the whole thing was restored.

It turned out that his ex-boyfriend was unwilling to break up with Miss Yoko Okino, so he sneaked into Miss Yoko Okino's house and bumped into Yuko Ikezawa, who happened to run to Yoko Okino's house quietly to collect black materials.

Because Yuko Ikezawa and Yoko Okino's backs are very similar, Mr. Okino's ex-boyfriend, who recognized the wrong person, wanted to do something shameful with "Yoko Okino", but was strongly resisted by Yuko Ikezawa.

Mr. Ex-boyfriend, who thought he had been completely abandoned by Yoko Okino, decided to disguise his suicide as a homicide in frustration and blame Miss Yoko Okino.

That's it, after this incident, Yoko Okino became friends with the Mori family, and at the same time met Karasuma Ying, the assistant of the Mori detective.

"Yoko-sama, do you have anything to entrust with the Maori detective?" Recalling her previous memories, Karasuma asked.

"Hmm...... Yes, but it's not a commission, Sister Xiaoying, isn't the Maori detective here now? On the phone, Yoko Okino asked.

"Yes, the Maori detective has just been commissioned and may not be back until later today."

"Late, huh? Hmmm......"

On the other end of the phone, Yoko Okino seemed to be hesitating, and Karasuma Ying did not rush her, but waited patiently.

"In that case...... "As if she had finally made up her mind, Yoko Okino said, "That's it, Sister Xiaoying, can I ask you to come to an engagement party tonight instead of Detective Maori?" ”

"Engaged, engagement party?" Karasuma Ying was shocked when she heard this, and asked, "Could it be Miss Yoko, ...... you?"

"No, it's not." Knowing that Karasuma Ying had misunderstood, Yoko Okino hurriedly explained, "It's a friend of mine, and she's always been a fan of Detective Maori, so I wanted to see Detective Maori with my own eyes at the engagement party."

However, since the Maori detective can't come over if he has a temporary commission, then I can only ask Xiaoying's sister to come over as an assistant to the Maori detective! ”

"Huh? This one...... Miss Yoko, this invitation, I would like to ask Mr. Mori about his ...... first"

"It's okay, it's okay! Xiaoying's sister is also not famous~ The sleeping Kogoro's right-hand man, a super-university-level female detective, and a beautiful and elegant goddess of reasoning......

I've been seeing you on TV and in the newspapers a lot lately! This friend of mine will be very happy if you come here! ”

"It's too much, it's too exaggerated, I'm far worse than Mr. Maori...... Anyway, let me talk to Mr. Mori about this, right? All right? Miss Yoko? ”

Karasuma Ying was a little embarrassed by Yoko Okino.

What kind of weird nicknames did those media give her......

"Okay~ Then remember to reply to me quickly?"

"Hmm."

Hanging up the phone, Karasuma Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, and then dialed Mori Kogoro's number again.

"Hello? Mr. Mori, I just received a call from Miss Yoko, not a commission, Miss Yoko wants to invite ......"
