"Alright, the surveillance devices are all installed."
"There are four in total. Did you remember their locations?"
"As long as that intruder comes again, we can capture their appearance."
"..."
Inside the room, Baishi Hui installed surveillance devices in hidden corners according to Chongye Yangzi's idea.
"Thank you, Detective Baishi." Chongye Yangzi bowed repeatedly to show her gratitude, and the unease on her beautiful face lessened slightly.
"Is there anything else?" Baishi Hui continued to ask.
"Um... Can you guys pick me up from work these two days?" The female idol lowered her head somewhat awkwardly and said shyly, "Although surveillance devices are installed, I still don't feel safe... What if the intruder does something to me..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood her concern.
"Of course!" Ran could understand Chongye Yangzi's anxiety.
She was also a girl, and on her way home, she was often harassed by some people.
It was also fortunate that she had learned Karate and could drive away those annoying guys.
"With your words, I feel at ease." Chongye Yangzi smiled, then suddenly remembered something, turned around, and entered the bedroom.
When she came out again, she had brought out some signed CDs and signed photo albums to give to everyone.
"A small token of appreciation." Chongye Yangzi gave these as gifts. Of course, Conan also received a copy.
"Wow! It's the released version of the CD! I've always wanted it!" Ran received it with repeated surprises.
She really knows how to provide emotional value... Baishi Hui couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart when he saw this.
After exchanging phone numbers with Chongye Yangzi and confirming that they would pick her up after work at 10 PM tomorrow, everyone said goodbye to Chongye Yangzi and left the apartment.
On the way back, Ran looked at the gift in her hand and said happily, "I didn't expect Miss Yoko to be so approachable... I thought big stars were hard to get along with!"
Baishi Hui also expressed his feelings: "It is indeed very comfortable to get along with her! At least she doesn't make people feel annoyed."
"However, being a star is not easy either... To actually encounter something like this." Ran said worriedly, "I hope we can catch that intruder tomorrow so Miss Yangzi can feel at ease."
While chatting, the three of them arrived downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.
Baishi Hui stopped and said, "It's getting late, so I won't go up. See you at school tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Shirashi-kun, Conan-kun!" Ran waved goodbye to the two of them and then went upstairs.
"Where do you live?" Baishi Hui asked Conan as he walked forward.
"It's just a short walk ahead." Conan replied, then looked up and asked, "Shirashi, why do you carry so many surveillance devices?"
He had this question ever since he saw Baishi Hui take out a surveillance device from his pocket.
It was just inconvenient to ask along the way.
Regarding this question, Baishi Hui calmly replied, "As a Detective, it's perfectly reasonable for me to carry some surveillance devices, right?"
"Unreasonable, this is completely unreasonable!" Conan was speechless, feeling that the other party was treating him like a fool to trick him.
He looked at the other party with suspicious eyes and said, "I can understand carrying one surveillance device, but you brought four at once!"
"I just restocked today, so I brought a few more." Baishi Hui casually brushed him off.
There is still a long time to get along in the future, and it is too difficult to keep hiding from this famous Detective with MAX eyesight.
So he didn't plan on hoping to hide it from Conan at all.
Of course, he also didn't plan on explaining, letting the other party figure it out on their own.
Conan didn't believe Baishi Hui's nonsense; this guy was clearly trying to fool him.
But he couldn't press the issue now.
Sigh, being a child is troublesome.
————————————————————
The next night at 10 PM.
At the exit of the Nichiuri TV Station building.
Mouri Kogoro was tidying his clothes and taking out his portable makeup mirror to fix his hair.
This made Ran, who was standing by, speechless: "Dad, you've combed it many times, haven't you?"
"This is my first meeting with Miss Yangzi, I need to leave a good impression on her!" Mouri Kogoro said seriously.
Ran deliberately said, "I advise you, Dad, not to waste your efforts. Miss Yangzi's type is young, handsome, and smart men! You don't fit any of those."
The effect of this sentence was very obvious, directly making the smile on Mouri Kogoro's face disappear.
Looking at Conan, who was watching the fun and snickering from the side, he said irritably, "Kid!! It's so late, and you're still wandering around? Won't your parents object?"
Conan quickly suppressed his smile and said, "I'm the assistant, of course I have to act with you! As for my parents, they're abroad, so they certainly won't object!"
"I drank too much yesterday and just said it casually, how can it count?" Mouri Kogoro righteously declared that he had changed his mind.
"Uncle Mouri, how can you go back on your word?" Conan's eyes widened, extremely surprised.
He didn't expect the other party to be so untrustworthy, going back on his word just like that!
Mouri Kogoro said confidently, "I'm not familiar with you, I don't know where you live, and I don't know your family situation. If something happens to you, I'll be in big trouble! So, about the assistant thing, let's forget it."
"I live at Dr. Agasa's place!" Conan reported his address while quickly looking at Ran.
Ran spoke up at the right time and said, "Dad, I received a call from Shinichi this morning, and he asked me to take care of Conan."
"Tsk, that brat again?" Mouri Kogoro said with some annoyance but didn't mention chasing Conan away again.
This made Conan let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately, he had taken remedial measures.
Just then, Baishi Hui, who was watching the show from the side, said, "Miss Yangzi is coming out."
"Huh? Where, where?" Mouri Kogoro immediately looked left and right at the exit.
"The one wrapped up tightly." Baishi Hui reminded him.
Only then did Mouri Kogoro spot Chongye Yangzi, and he excitedly wanted to go up and greet her.
Baishi Hui quickly grabbed his collar and pulled him back, saying irritably, "My dear Mouri, sober up! If you run over and greet her like that, won't you expose your identity? What's with the secret protection?"
"Exactly! Now is not the time to greet her!!" Ran also looked at her Dad somewhat angrily, feeling that he was really unreliable!
"Ah... Sorry, sorry." Mouri Kogoro chuckled awkwardly, "I was excited for a moment and almost forgot."
"..." Conan looked at Mouri Kogoro with a pained expression.
Thinking that he would have to be this guy's assistant in the future, he felt his future was bleak and he couldn't see any hope!
After Baishi Hui sent a text message to Chongye Yangzi, he then said to Mouri Kogoro, "Mouri Detective, Conan, you two go up first, pretend to be a father and son, and follow behind Miss Yangzi, maintaining a distance of one hundred meters."
"Pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people around, and Ran and I will take turns tracking and protecting her after a while."
"Okay!!" Mouri Kogoro had no objection to Baishi Hui's arrangement, but Conan did.
But before he could voice his opinion, Mouri Kogoro urged him, "Kid, hurry up! Otherwise, I'll fire you!"
Conan was helpless and had no choice but to follow.
After Mouri Kogoro had walked a distance, Baishi Hui and Ran then followed.
