Upon reaching their destination, the two cars pulled up consecutively in front of a grand and luxurious apartment building. Kogoro Mouri looked at the magnificent building before him, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my, truly worthy of Miss Yoko Okino, to live in an apartment owned by the world's number one Yunhai Group's Island Nation branch!" He had heard of this apartment. It was one of several high-end residential areas funded by Huaxia's Yunhai Group's branch company in the Island Nation. These high-end residential areas were promoted with slogans of "peace of mind, safety, and comfort." As a result, many celebrities in the Island Nation lived there, including some government officials.

Listening to Kogoro Mouri's loud exclamation, Manager Saruhashi quickly waved his hand and whispered, "Mr. Mouri, Miss Yoko's residence here is private. Please don't spread the word." Yoko Okino, however, didn't mind at this moment. Instead, she slowly walked up to Yun Feng, bowed slightly, and politely extended her hand, saying, "Hello, it's my first time meeting you. Please give me your guidance. May I ask who you are to Mr. Mouri?"

Xiaoyu, behind Yun Feng, subtly frowned but said nothing. Yun Feng was momentarily stunned. This big star hadn't paid him any attention at the detective agency earlier, so why was she so proactive now? However, while thinking this, he quickly reached out to shake Yoko Okino's hand, smiling as he replied, "Hello, Miss Yoko Okino, I've heard much about you. I'm a friend of Mr. Mouri's daughter."

The moment their hands met, Yun Feng curiously activated his Chastity Appraisal skill. Afterward, a feeling of disgust, as if he had eaten stale food, filled his heart. He lost all interest in continuing the conversation. For no other reason, the appraisal skill's test on Yoko Okino returned: "Apologies, this woman is no longer a virgin. Her personality is astute and sophisticated, cunning and fickle. She had already been dating boys since middle school." Middle school? That would be equivalent to junior high in Huaxia, dating in junior high, and with several boys?! Also, the personality of Yoko Okino, as appraised, was vastly different from what he understood from the original story... So open and casual. Yun Feng, with his emotional purity, had no further interest in developing anything with her... What if she was a big star? A joke! As long as Yun Feng had the mind to, he could easily create a plethora of world-class stars.

Yoko Okino looked at Yun Feng's expression, and her heart immediately filled with doubt. She felt this should be an amiable and handsome young man, so why had he suddenly put on a stern face? After some thought, she figured he might have some prejudice against celebrities. Feeling a bit helpless, she led everyone into the apartment.

After they had all entered the apartment, the trunk of Yoko Okino's car slowly opened, and the three children, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, laboriously crawled out, coughing a few times. Ayumi excitedly put her hands on her hips and said, "See? Everyone with Professor Yun Feng is important! That was the idol star Miss Yoko Okino, you know!" Genta and Mitsuhiko pouted upon hearing this, muttering, "Ayumi, that has nothing to do with you. Why are you showing off?"

"Hmph, of course it has something to do with me! What if she has ill intentions towards my Professor Yun Feng? I always feel that Miss Yoko Okino is different from how she appears on TV. There's something annoying about her. Let's go, we should quickly follow them and see." Ayumi pouted her small mouth, saying discontentedly. Genta and Mitsuhiko were speechless, thinking, "What do you mean 'your' Professor Yun Feng?" However, just as they were about to sneak into the apartment building, they were stopped by the security guard at the door, who forcefully drove them out and threatened to call the police if they didn't obey, completely ignoring the children's irrational antics. Hearing the threat of calling the police, Ayumi and the others immediately went home in fear. After all, the police held significant intimidating power in children's minds.

Yoko Okino's home was on the 25th floor of the apartment building. As they stood at her doorstep, waiting for her to open the door, Ran looked at the night view outside the hallway window, her face full of intoxication, and said enviously, "Truly worthy of Huaxia's Yunhai Group's property. Standing here, overlooking the night view of Tokyo, is truly beautiful." Yun Feng, hearing this, muttered inwardly, This future wife of mine is truly easily satisfied. It's just a small building casually invested in by a branch company of a small country; what's there to yearn for? When you become my wife in the future, you can live in any luxurious residence in the world you wish.

"Ah!!!!~" Just then, Yoko Okino, who had opened the door, let out a scream upon seeing the scene inside. Xiaoyu, behind Yun Feng, frowned upon hearing this and quickly stepped forward to glance inside the door. She then returned to Yun Feng's side, her expression calm. After Xiaoyu finished all this, everyone else reacted. They all looked inside and then their faces changed dramatically. It turned out a man was lying on the floor inside, a knife plunged into his back, and blood covered the floor.

"Young Brother Yun, quickly call the police! You all stay here and don't move!" Kogoro Mouri's face was solemn, and he quickly instructed. Yun Feng, hearing this, first pulled Ran's small hand and retreated to the side. Only then did he happily take out his phone and dial the emergency number. His and Xiaoyu's satellite phones were only used for contacting family, high-level Yunhai internal staff, and the Huaxia Guard Force, or other emergencies. In normal situations, he would use a backup ordinary phone. The reason he was so happy was because Yun Feng, while pulling Ran's small hand, had taken the opportunity to activate his Chastity Appraisal skill. The result given made him greatly satisfied:

"Congratulations, this woman is a virgin, and her devotion to love is almost obsessive. Her personality is pure and kind, helpful, values relationships deeply, is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, and has a vague fondness for a friend she grew up with." Yun Feng completely ignored the latter half of the sentence. As long as she wasn't already attached, his chance to steal her away had greatly increased.

Just then, Kogoro Mouri's angry shouts and Conan's cries came from inside the room. Yun Feng knew that Conan must have moved something at the crime scene, angering Uncle Mouri and getting a beating. Ran was also very angry at this moment. She went into the room, picked up Conan, and brought him to the hallway, scolding him seriously, "Conan, you can't disturb Daddy when he's working!" Inwardly, she thought, Big Brother Yun was right after all. This Beika Silver Gun Little Tyrant is really a troublesome child. Seeing such a terrifying scene, he's not even scared, and even goes forward to mess with things at the scene.

Yun Feng, seeing this, chuckled to himself. He could tell that Ran's expression of disgust towards Conan was definitely from the heart. It seemed his initial strategy had succeeded almost perfectly. The problem with Conan could be completely set aside; from now on, he just needed to focus on resolving Shinichi Kudo's childhood sweetheart image in Ran's mind.

Conan, at this moment, was incredibly depressed. What had happened recently? First, he was given some strange poison and his body shrunk. Then, he was bullied every day by that violent assistant. Just now, he only wanted to help investigate for clues to solve the case, and he got a beating from Kogoro Mouri. And now, even Ran was treating him this way. With his detective's insight, he could naturally tell that Ran had an inexplicable disgust for his identity as Conan.

Conan rubbed the swollen spot where Kogoro Mouri had hit him, still intending to secretly infiltrate the crime scene to investigate. For him, solving mysteries was the greatest joy...
