Okino Yoko regained her freedom. Mochizuki looked around and saw a very hidden pinhole camera. "Wait a moment." He told Yoko and went through the wall to his manager's room next door.
" He's indeed the Grim Reaper. He can actually walk through walls…" Yoko was dumbfounded.
When Mochizuki came back through the wall, Yoko quickly asked,""Mr. Grim Reaper…did you go to your manager's room just now?”
" I destroyed the hard disk that stored the pinhole camera video," Mochizuki told him." After all, it recorded you talking to the air. Just tell the police that the door next door wasn't locked and that you destroyed the thing before you escaped because it contained your privacy.”
"Yes, yes, I understand!" Yoko hurriedly nodded in agreement.
……
Due to the disappearance of a celebrity like Okino Yoko, even though it was already late at night, the police officers in the police department were still working. Unfortunately, they could not find any clues no matter what they did.
" Miss Yoko, you must be safe..." Kogoro was so anxious that he could only pray to the heavens.
Conan also wanted to find Okino Yoko, but he had no clue.
At this moment, the phone rang urgently. Police Chief Megami quickly picked up the phone. It was an internal call from an operator in charge of answering the police call.
The operator sent a message. Someone had just called the police and claimed to be Okino Yoko. She had escaped after being kidnapped.
"What is it? Miss Okino escaped? Is this true?" Megure cried out in disbelief.
Not far away, Kogoro, who was praying, immediately jumped up." What? Did Yoko escape?"
Everyone else in the office also gathered around.
After answering the call, Megure said to his subordinate,"" A woman called the police just now. She claimed to be Okino Yoko. She was kidnapped and imprisoned by her manager, Yamagishi. She was lucky enough to escape just a moment ago…"
"What? Manager?" Everyone was shocked. Was Yoko Okino kidnapped by her manager?
Conan suddenly understood. If it was an agent, then everything would make sense.
……
Okino Yoko did not leave the apartment. She did not dare to run around because it would be dangerous if she met Yamagishi on the road alone. Therefore, after she escaped from the room, she called for help in an attempt to attract more attention.
She succeeded. In the end, more than a dozen residents in the apartment building knew about this matter, and even the security guards rushed over. They had no idea that Yoko Okiano lived in this building. Because they were afraid of paparazzi harassment, many celebrities registered their apartments with fake names. This was also the reason why the police could not find out that Yoko really lived there.
Everyone realized that Yoko seemed to be more mature than she was on TV because she was five years older.
If the Moongazer Serpent directly asked for thirty to fifty years, the transaction partner would become an old man or an old woman. Therefore, Mochizuki chose a conservative number of five years. Otherwise, it would cause unnecessary trouble if a large number of people suddenly aged after a strange turn of events.
By the way, a decrease in lifespan would only lead to aging. It was impossible to make a child instantly grow up into an adult by reducing lifespan, but it could make a child look old. Similarly, an increase in lifespan would only make one younger, but not a child.
"Miss Yoko, don't worry. The police will be here soon.”The security guard comforted her.
Yoko heaved a sigh of relief. With more than a dozen residents accompanying her, she would be safe even if Yamagishi Rong returned. It was common to see all the villains in movies and TV shows, but the probability of it happening in reality was extremely low.
……
Finally, he finished his work and Moongazer Serpent left. The police would handle the rest of the matter, so it had nothing to do with him. He had also told Yoko not to tell anyone about him.
In fact, it didn't matter even if he said it out loud. After all, no one would have thought that the Death God was equivalent to the Moongazer Serpent.
"Excluding the small change, my remaining lifespan is 5 years and 14 days.”Mochizuki checked his lifespan as he walked on the road at night, heading to his rented apartment. He was still eating the oden he bought for supper. "It's good to be alive. I don't have to worry about my lifespan for the time being. Eh? This fish ball is really delicious."
After finishing her supper by the roadside and throwing the trash into the trash can, Mochizuki entered the apartment building. This apartment was relatively old. It was the kind with the stairs outside. Because the rent was cheap, Mochizuki chose to live here. After all, he was very poor.
Just as he reached the second floor and took out his key to open the door, the door of the room next door opened. A slightly fat man, who was close to 50 years old, walked out. The man seemed to be going downstairs to buy something.
The two of them saw each other but did not greet each other because they were not familiar with each other.
After the man left, Mochizuki opened the door and entered the room, muttering," One moment, it's 25 years of lifespan, and the next moment, it's three days. Is this person going to die soon? Was it an accident or a case? Forget it, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Sitting down on the floor, Mochizuki started to think about how to gain lifespan in the future. With only five years of life left, he would never be satisfied no matter what.
What was that? You said that a year in Conan's world is very long?
What a joke! The Moongazer Serpent's lifespan was calculated in natural days and had nothing to do with the date! Even if the date kept jumping back and forth, as long as the sun sunrise and set, his lifespan would decrease day by day.
"There are all kinds of cases around Conan, and there should be many people willing to sell their lives…Should I think of a way to get close to him? It was definitely not possible to follow him every time.”
……
For the next two days, both the internet and television news were flooded with news about Okino Yoko. Mochizuki read a few reports and understood the follow-up progress.
After Okino Yoko was rescued, she reported her manager, Yamagishi Eichi, to the police, and the police immediately pursued him. It wasn't appropriate to call it a pursuit, because Yamagishi Rongyi still didn't know that the matter had been exposed. When the police found him, he was still digging a hole in the mountain to bury the body.
Because he was caught red-handed, Shanan Rong could only confess his crimes. Now, he was being condemned by everyone. Everyone thought he deserved to die, and the Moongazer Serpent thought so too.
However, Moongazer Serpent didn't run over to enforce justice for the heavens. He was very accurate about his position---he was a bounty hunter trying to earn his life, not a messenger of justice.
"Hello, Mr. Mochizuki, your takeout has arrived.”
The delivery man's voice came from outside the door. Mochizuki opened the door and took the takeaway, saying thank you.
Actually, Mr. Mochizuki's name was wrong because his surname was Wang and his name was Yi Yue. It just so happened that Japan had a surname called Mochizuki. The two names were the same on paper, so many people thought that his surname was Mochizuki.
Moongazer Serpent was already used to people misunderstanding its name, but it felt very sad about its current state of life. The dignified Death God actually ate takeout every meal. It was simply too miserable.
He couldn't do anything about it. He didn't know how to cook…and he couldn't afford to hire a chef.
After getting the takeout, Mochizuki was about to enter the house when an extremely touching cry suddenly sounded downstairs.”
Mochizuki was puzzled. Who was calling him daddy?
He came to the edge of the corridor and stuck his head out to look downstairs.
She saw a man and a woman of different ages hugging each other tightly downstairs. The man was her next-door neighbor who only had three days left to live. The woman was wearing glasses and her hair was braided. She was crying uncontrollably.
