The Rich Man's Foolish Son?

Hattori Heiji produced an invitation ticket, and the group entered the venue.

"Wow, quite a few celebrities!"

Mori Kogoro, dressed in a beige suit, stood at the entrance, sizing up the group of celebrities present, his drool practically dripping down his face. "Kuraki Mai, Komatsu Miho, Twomix, and Ms. Yoko Okino!"

Fujino looked around and indeed saw the celebrity that Mori Kogoro had mentioned.

Mai Kuraki, dressed in a smart black evening gown and sporting short hair, Kuraki Mai Komatsu Miho, wearing a long-sleeved blue dress, and Minami Takayama, who was enthusiastically showing off her spaghetti.

Fujino had heard of these celebrities in his previous life, after all, they were the singers of Conan's unchanging theme songs, and also the voice actors for that kid Conan...

Yoko Okino wore a light pink evening gown, and her light brown hair was adorned with a large bow, giving her a cute look.

Next to Yoko Okino was Yuko Ikezawa, who was wearing a long red evening gown. Compared to Yoko Okino, she had a more intellectual and mature feel.

Besides these people, there were some familiar figures, such as Tatsuya Kimura, who hadn't died, and Mieko Shibasaki...

Those familiar faces all came.

"Um?"

Seemingly noticing their gaze, Yoko Okino around and waved to the group.

Hehehe!

Mori Kogoro couldn't help but raise his hand in response, as if a fan had successfully met their idol in person.

"Dad..."

Standing to the side, Ran, dressed in a deep red evening gown, blushed and whispered, feeling a little embarrassed, "It's embarrassing to be so loud."

"Aren't you the same?"

Mori Kogoro couldn't help but glance back at Ran: "They even brought the autograph board."

"Hmm..."

Ran blushed and hid the autograph board behind her back.

"Miss Yoko, Miss Ikezawa."

Fujino didn't stay in the group; instead, he went forward and greeted Yoko Okino and Yuko Ikezawa.

"Fujino!"

Yoko Okino smiled slightly and greeted her, "I didn't expect you to be invited too."

"..."

Yuko Ikezawa did not reply.

Are they all prostitutes?

How come one is the given name and the other is the surname?

She refused to accept it!

"Where is the invitation?"

Fujino chuckled awkwardly and said, "I'm not exactly an invited guest this time. I was originally here to carry out official business for the Metropolitan Police Department, but some things got delayed, so I came here with the young master of the department to attend the opening banquet."

"Young Master?"

The two were taken aback by what they heard.

"He's the eldest son of the head of the Osaka headquarters."

As she spoke, Fujino looked at Hattori Heiji was not far away. "Hey, that's the kid over there showing off his chicken leg."

Yoko Okino: "..."

Yuko Ikezawa: "..."

Is this how the young master of this department is?

This was somewhat contrary to their stereotypes.

It looks a bit like...

The landlord's foolish son?

"High School Detective Hattori Heiji, right?"

Yoko Okino thought for a moment, "I saw it in the newspaper before, and it seems like we've worked together a few times?"

"Um."

Fujino nodded and said, "We have indeed cooperated a few times, so we're practically acquaintances."

"But you're doing pretty well. I remember you even appeared on screen with Hakuba Saguru, the High School Detective and son of the police chief."

Yuko Ikezawa then recovered her composure and continued, "I didn't expect that she would become a member of the organization in such a short time and become an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"What do you mean by 'staffed' or 'non-staffed'? He's just an advisor, an unstaffed employee."

Fujino chuckled awkwardly, "Compared to you, Ms. Ikezawa, you're doing quite well. The drama you filmed with Miss Yoko a while ago is about to air, right?"

"Yes."

Yuko Ikezawa thought for a moment, "It should be broadcast in a while."

"Won't your value skyrocket after the show airs?"

Fujino chuckled softly, "It seems you did take my words to heart back then."

"What you said back then?"

Yoko Okino glanced at the two of them, looking bewildered.

I have a feeling that there's something I don't know.

"Nothing."

Yuko Ikezawa scratched her toes as she recalled what had happened, and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Yoko, you must have wanted to tell him something in person before, right?"

"Oh!"

Yoko Okino suddenly remembered something and then whispered, "Detective Fujino, I'm really sorry about what happened with Su Fang Hongzi a while ago."

"I remember you texted me, but I didn't pay much attention to that matter."

Fujino chuckled lightly, not taking the matter to heart. "Besides, Su Fang Hongzi was killed before the banquet was even held, so it's not a big deal!"

"But I always feel it's better to apologize in person."

Yoko Okino sighed, "After all, I almost ruined your reputation completely..."

"I told you that things like this could ruin your career."

Yuko Ikezawa turned to Yoko Okino and said resentfully, "I advised you before, but you wouldn't listen. Now, you almost dragged Fujino down with you."

"Um..."

Yoko Okino was also a little embarrassed, and lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Tsk, you're too honest, aren't you?"

Yuko Ikezawa clicked her tongue, patted Yoko Okino's head, and teased, "That's why you're so silly, Yoko. You should be more careful in the future!"

"I understand, Yuko."

Yoko Okino nodded obediently, just like a junior or Senior who had done something wrong.

Were these two people from the same period?

"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship."

Fujino glanced at the two of them and rubbed his chin.

He had a vague idea of what was going on when I called to invite him last time.

It seems that the relationship between the two has indeed improved considerably.

It even feels like we're best friends who are more than just friends?

He vaguely remembered that Yuko Ikezawa, that rude woman, had tried to collect dirt on Yoko Okino to kill her, and had even burned his carpet in the process.

"Where can I find it?"

Yuko Ikezawa said irritably, "It's just that she's too stupid, and I can't stand it."

'Yeah, such a tsundere.'

Fujino made a mental assessment.

He then turned his head and looked around. "But this opening is quite a big event. TWOMIX, whom I know, the two of you, and many other famous singers and celebrities are here."

"Of course."

Yuko Ikezawa explained, "This time, most of the people in the industry came. After all, it's a restaurant founded by three athletes. Besides them, there are also many companies supporting them, so we naturally have to give them face and come to participate."

"I see."

Fujino nodded, looked around, and could understand the nature of the K3 Hotel.

In other words, it's a restaurant established with capital investment, using the names of those three athletes, but the main operators should still be those three people.

After all, they are just athletes. Even if they make a lot of money, they could never afford to open a hotel like this.

There must be capital backing them.

If that's the case, then it's perfectly normal for their artists to come and support them.
