Chapter 13: Yoko’s Favor and the Jealous Xiaolan

Outside of Yoko Okino’s house.

As soon as Kurosaki Makoto and Yamagishi Eiichi arrived, they saw several familiar figures.

“”Ran, Detective Maori!”

That’s right, for some reason, Ran and Maori Kogoro also appeared here.

After hearing Kurosaki Makoto’s voice, Ran and Maori Kogoro turned around and greeted him.

“Sincerity!”

“Brother Kurosaki!”

“”How did you get here?”

Kurosaki Makoto asked in confusion, and then he caught a glimpse of a tightly wrapped figure beside him. He already had a guess in his mind.

This person should be Okino Yoko.

“Yoko, what’s going on?”

Yamagishi Eiichi came to Okino Yoko and asked in confusion.

“I asked Detective Maori to help with the investigation. I really can’t stand this kind of life anymore!”

Okino Yoko explained.

Seeing this, Yamagishi Eiichi didn’t know what to say, so he could only sigh.

Then Yamagishi Eiichi turned his head and looked at Kurosaki Makoto, looking embarrassed.

“You can see, Mr. Kurosaki, I have already…”

Of course Kurosaki Makoto knew what he meant and waved his hand.

“You don’t have to say anything, I will help you with this case for free!”

“Who told you to ask Xiaolan and Maori for help?”

Of course, these words were just to fool them.

The real reason was because he received a task issued by the system.

【Ding! Get a new task: Help Yoko Okino find the person who is following her!】

【Do you accept it?

Compared with the system’s reward, the little money that Yamagishi Eiichi gave him is nothing!

Upon hearing this,

Yamagishi Eiichi immediately showed a surprised expression. He didn’t expect his luck to be so good.

One cent could actually ask two families for help.

Seeing Yamagishi Eiichi’s expression, Kurosaki Makoto sneered in his heart.

“”Laugh, laugh! Wait until I kidnap Yoko Okino and then see if you can still laugh!”

Just like that, several people went to Yoko Okino’s room together.

Yoko Okino opened the door and said to everyone,”Please come in….”

Then she turned her head and looked into the room.

Suddenly, Okino Yoko perfectly demonstrated her talent as a woman.

“ah……ah……”

“Don’t be afraid, Miss Yoko, I’m here to protect you!”

The moment he heard Okino Yoko’s cry, Maori Kogoro rushed over like a flower protector.

When he saw the situation in the house, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

He saw a male corpse lying on the floor with a sharp knife stuck in his back.

It was obvious that he was stabbed from behind!

“This is……”

When Xiaolan saw this bloody scene, she couldn’t help but get closer to Kurosaki Makoto.

Maybe because of the last time they drank, the relationship between Xiaolan and Kurosaki Makoto has taken a step further.

And Kurosaki Makoto is of course happy to see this situation.

Then Kurosaki Makoto said calmly:”Call the police!”

Hearing this, Yamagishi Eiichi hurriedly said in a panic:”Don’t call the police! If you call the police, Yoko’s acting career will be ruined!”

But Kurosaki Makoto doesn’t care about these.

If he doesn’t call the police, how can he complete the task and get the reward.

So he will call the police today!

“Several of us saw the body. If we don’t call the police, we will be hiding a crime!”

“Do you want to put us in jail?”

At the end, Kurosaki Makoto looked at Yamagishi Eiichi with cold eyes.

Seeing Kurosaki Makoto’s eyes, Yamagishi Eiichi’s legs and feet trembled a little, and finally he had to agree.

“I…I understand. I’ll call the police now!”

After saying that, Yamagishi Eiichi immediately called the police.

When Xiaolan and Okino Yoko saw the righteous side of Kurosaki Makoto, their eyes suddenly lit up.

“I didn’t expect Cheng to be such a righteous person!”

“For the sake of justice, he is not afraid of offending the agent in the entertainment industry. He is so handsome!”

Xiaolan’s eyes were full of admiration.

After all, as a person in the entertainment industry, it is too easy to deal with a small boss like Kurosaki Makoto.

But Kurosaki Makoto is so fearless of power. How can Xiaolan not admire him?

And the same reason applies to Yoko Okino.

In the entertainment industry, she has seen too many people who cling to the powerful, and she has never seen a man like Kurosaki Makoto!

So, while waiting for the police to arrive, she walked up to Kurosaki Makoto and said hello.

“Hello, sir, I am Yoko Okino, nice to meet you!”

After saying that, Yoko Okino stretched out her soft little hand.

Of course, Kurosaki Makoto would not ignore her intentionally.

“Hello, Miss Yoko, my name is Makoto Kurosaki, and I’m the owner of a Yorozuya!”

“I’m glad to meet you, too!”

After saying that, Kurosaki Makoto also reached out and held Okino Yoko’s soft little hand.

But it was only for a moment, and there was no lingering.

Seeing this scene, Okino Yoko’s affection for Kurosaki Makoto increased a little more.

And seeing this scene, Xiaolan didn’t know why she felt sour in her heart.

She didn’t understand why she had this feeling, obviously the person she liked was Shinichi, right?

Maybe she didn’t realize that in the past few days, Kudo Shinichi had appeared in her mind much less frequently.

Instead, the words that Kurosaki Makoto said to her after he was drunk.

“Xiaolan, I really don’t know who in this world can marry a good girl like you.”

Every time she thought of this, Xiaolan felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

However, she didn’t understand why she had such a reaction.

Just as Xiaolan was lost in her wild thoughts, Officer Megure arrived at the scene with a large group of police officers.

Okino Yoko described the whole incident to them in detail. After listening, Officer Megure nodded slightly to show his understanding.

“So, as soon as you entered the house, you found the body, right?”

“Yes, that’s true.”

Okino Yoko nodded vigorously.

“So, the detective you’re with……”

Officer Megure continued to ask

“Oh, that’s me, Inspector Megure!”

Maori Kogoro jumped out excitedly.

“Inspector Megure, I really miss the times when I used to solve cases with you!”

“I never thought that we would have the opportunity to work together again!”

After saying that, Maori Kogoro touched his head and laughed.

Hearing Maori Kogoro’s words, Inspector Megure felt very speechless.

“Who wants to work with a guy like you?”

“Working with you, even the simplest case will become complicated!”

“I really don’t understand how they found this guy.……”

Officer Megure complained helplessly, glancing at Okino Yoko.

Okino Yoko didn’t understand, but she smiled politely.

At this moment, Kurosaki Makoto suddenly said,”By the way, didn’t you notice it?”

Everyone looked at Kurosaki Makoto, while Officer Megure looked at Maori Kogoro, hoping that he could explain.

“He is……”

Just as Maori Kogoro was about to speak, Xiaolan answered first:”His name is Kurosaki Makoto, the owner of a Yorozuya, and he was also invited to investigate the case.”

After that, Xiaolan glanced at Okino Yoko again.

Although her eyes were calm, as a woman, Okino Yoko felt a hint of hostility from them.

Okino Yoko couldn’t help but feel confused. Did she seem to have done nothing wrong?

Could it be because…

She seemed to understand something, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly.
