That evening, at the Mouri Detective Agency, Yun Feng was idly accompanying Uncle Mouri, watching the horse racing channel in the reception room. In the kitchen, Xiaoyu was helping Ran Mouri prepare a delicious meal for later. Yun Feng was naturally there for a free meal tonight, though in reality, the ingredients needed for the meal were all purchased by him and Xiaoyu. This was also one of Yun Feng's strategy plans: to spend as much time as possible with Ran. As the saying goes, affection is cultivated through accumulation over time. This method, though clumsy, was the simplest and most practical. As for the elementary schooler Conan, he was squatting aside, fiddling with his red bowtie. Yun Feng knew that the bowtie was the voice changer Professor Agasa had just invented, a tool to conceal his identity.
At this moment, at a street corner outside the detective agency, three mysterious little heads suddenly popped out. One of the cute little girls said, "That detective agency is Conan-kun's house, and the beautiful big mansion next door is Professor Yun Feng's house. As long as we can become friends with Conan-kun, then we'll have an excuse to come and play with Professor Yun Feng later." The two thin and chubby boys beside her nodded, looking at Yun Feng's mansion. "Wow, such a big mansion must cost a lot of money. Rumor has it Professor Yun Feng comes from a mysterious family in Huaxia. It must be true."
"Mm, mm, Professor Yun Feng is handsome, has great demeanor, isn't stuck up like a teacher at all, treats people kindly, keeps his word, and tells wonderful fairy tales. When I grow up, I'm definitely going to marry him," the cute little girl said, her eyes sparkling, her face flushed with intoxication, looking like a blissful little woman, far from what her age should entail. The two little boys, hearing this, clutched their stomachs and burst out laughing. "Ayumi-san, when you grow up, Professor Yun Feng will be at least forty or fifty, practically an old man." Ayumi, hearing this, became very angry. After stomping on their feet, she said, "Hmph, I don't care! I'm still going to marry Professor Yun Feng. Genta, Mitsuhiko, by then, my seniority will be much higher than yours!" And looking at her expectant expression, it was hard to tell if her desire to marry Yun Feng when she grew up came from her heart, or if she simply found the idea of increased seniority amusing. Or perhaps it was simply because Yun Feng told fairy tales?
It turned out these three children were the same ones Yun Feng had met at the amusement park that day: Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko.
Just then, a car's headlights flashed, and a sedan drove up from a distance, stopping outside the Mouri Detective Agency. A man got out of the driver's seat, opened the back door, and a woman in a pink dress and a red fedora stepped out. Although her red fedora was intentionally pulled low, the angle was just right for Ayumi and the others to see her face. Ayumi and her friends were greatly surprised to see the woman's face, covering their cute mouths and saying in disbelief, "This person is..."
Inside the Mouri Detective Agency, Yun Feng and the others had just finished the grand meal prepared by Ran and Xiaoyu and were now full and satisfied. Kogoro Mouri was in good spirits, recounting interesting anecdotes from his time as a police officer to Yun Feng. Although Yun Feng wasn't particularly interested, he listened attentively. Suddenly, a doorbell interrupted Kogoro Mouri's speech, greatly annoying him. He stood up from his chair and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened it, a grumbling remark escaped his lips: "This is the Mouri Detective Agency. We're closed. Please come back another day for work..."
After speaking, Kogoro Mouri was about to close the door when he suddenly froze, an incredulous expression on his face as he looked at the newcomer. He said, full of surprise and uncertainty, "You... you... you... are you... Miss Yoko Okino?!" The woman outside bowed and said, "Hello, that would be me."
"No way! An idol actually came to our house?" Ran, also curious at this point, walked over and asked. Yoko Okino politely said to Ran, "I have something I'd like to ask for help with..." Kogoro Mouri had no time for his daughter's conversation and quickly rushed into his room... When the door opened again, a dashing uncle in a sharp suit, looking refreshed and spirited, appeared there... At this point, Kogoro Mouri, acting like a gentleman, asked, "Miss, you seem to be troubled." Everyone was startled by Kogoro Mouri's rapid change of clothes. Yun Feng thought amusingly, So this uncle has tidy moments besides just investigating cases.
Conan, beside him, was even more speechless, saying to Kogoro Mouri, "Who... who are you...?"
"What! Someone's actually stalking the lovely Yoko-san!" After everyone was seated, Kogoro Mouri listened to Yoko Okino's worries, slammed the table in anger, and roared. Yoko Okino nodded and continued, "Yes, not only that, but I also frequently receive my own photos and voiceless phone calls." Kogoro Mouri, hearing this, raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and said with hatred, "Someone is being so rude to Yoko-san! When I catch him, I'll definitely give him a beating!" At this moment, the man standing beside Yoko Okino stepped forward, quickly waving his hands and saying, "Please, Mr. Mouri, don't make such a fuss. After all, Yoko-san is a popular idol..."
Kogoro Mouri paused, then noticed another man present and asked curiously, "Who are you?" The man took out his business card and said, "My name is Hideki Saruhashi, and I am Yoko-san's manager." Kogoro Mouri took the business card and said seriously, "Please rest assured, I will investigate in secret. Let's go to Yoko-san's house now." Ran, beside him, also said with an expectant look, "Dad, can I come along? I also want to see what a popular idol's house looks like."
Kogoro Mouri paused, then looked at the car parked downstairs and hesitated. "But, Yoko-san and her manager only have one car." At this moment, Yun Feng walked over with a smile and said, "It's alright, Uncle. You and Yoko-san can drive ahead. I'll drive Ran and the others."
"Then don't disturb my work, understood?" Kogoro Mouri nodded upon hearing this. Going downstairs, Xiaoyu had already driven out Yun Feng's privately customized Yunhai sports car. She then got out of the car, grabbed Conan without a word, tossed him directly into the passenger seat, then invited Yun Feng and Ran to sit in the back seats. Conan, thrown into the passenger seat by Xiaoyu, rubbed his bumped head, indignantly muttering, "What's wrong with this violent woman? Why is she still targeting me even though I've shrunk!!!"
In the passenger seat of the other car ahead, Kogoro Mouri, seeing Yun Feng's car for the first time, said awkwardly, "I've never seen the model of this kid's Yunhai sports car. Could it be a replica from some car company?" In the back seat, Yoko Okino glanced at Yun Feng's car from the corner of her eye, a flicker of surprise in her gaze. She thought, That kind of car is...
