Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Could you please wait another twenty seconds?

When I left Hayashi Yoshiki's room, it was almost half past one.

 In the dead of night

 There was nothing in the corridor with the lights off.

 Yoko Okino placed her arms in front of her plump chest and felt her heart beating wildly.

 Jiashu-kun is really good at bullying people--

 Standing at the door of Hayashi Yoshiki's room, Yoko Okino's face showed a bit of trance. She touched her slightly hot and flushed cheeks, pursed her lips and smiled unconsciously before leaving.

 The whole person feels a little light-headed.

 Yoko Okino carefully returned to her room as quietly as possible.

 I have to take a shower first...

 She thought.

 It's all Jiashu's fault...

 Originally, Yoko Okino had taken a bath, but because of frequent kissing, something in her yukata became a little sticky, and she had to take another bath.

 Just after taking a shower again, Yoko Okino, who was planning to pour a glass of water and then turn off the lights to rest, suddenly found something like a card stuffed under the crack of the door of the room.

 She walked over subconsciously and picked it up to take a look, and the content on it made her face change instantly.

 --That was a photo of her walking out of Hayashi Yoshiki's room late at night.

 Found out...

 Even a photo was taken--

 As a popular idol who has never been involved in any scandals since her debut, Yoko Okino has always been very clear about her base, and is also aware of how great an impact this matter would have on her once it was exposed.

 Purity and vitality are the labels attached to her - or rather, this is the image that fans have always wanted from her.

 Yoko Okino was shaken.

 She almost subconsciously called Hayashi Yoshiki to tell him about this--

 "Then put the photo under the door and I'll take a look. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Yoko, just rest assured."

 The calm tone made Yoko Okino relax a little, and she did as she was told and put the photo back under the door.

 Hayashi Yoshiki went over and took the photo.

 He didn't expect this to happen...but looking at the angle from which the photo was taken, it was indeed easy to find the room where the photographer was.

 Knock Knock

 Shortly after Hayashi Yoshiki knocked on the door of the room, the door opened.

 Behind the door was a man wearing a baseball cap, who looked to be in his thirties but dressed in a rather shabby manner - it was none other than Anzai Morio, the photography assistant in the crew.

 "Is the real master here?"

 Anzai Morio had obviously anticipated this scene. He smiled and made way for Hayashi Yoshiki to enter his room.

 Then, without waiting for Hayashi Yoshiki to speak, he stretched out two fingers and twisted them: "Tell me, how much are you prepared to pay?"

 "I don't think there's anything special about this photo that Anzai took."

 "Hehe, if that were the case you wouldn't have come to see me specifically."

 Anzai Morio grinned disdainfully, "Everyone knows this, right? You were recommended by Okino Yoko to be the consultant, right? Now she came out of your room in the middle of the night, who would believe you if you said there was nothing wrong? ... But if you don't plan to pay, I'll sell this news and photos to Okino Yoko's rival entertainment company."

 "....."

 "Just a reminder, the media these days is very good at making up stories."

 "It seems that Mr. Anxi is very familiar with this set. What price do you think is appropriate?"

 "Make your own bid."

 Seeing Hayashi Yoshiki agree, Anzai Morio's eyes flashed with pride. He twisted his fingers and said, "Hey, a best-selling novel author and a famous detective, and a popular idol... Maybe I can make a living from this for the rest of my life."

 His greedy eyes did not make Hayashi Yoshiki angry, he just sighed in admiration:

 "...I am really convinced by you."

 Hayashi Yoshiki took out a notebook from his pocket.

 He originally thought that since Conan didn't show up, there wouldn't be any deaths this time - Anzai Morio was actually a dead person who had appeared in the plot. As a photographer, he took a lot of photos but ended up doing blackmail. As a result, he should have been killed in the crew this time.

 Seeing Hayashi Yoshiki writing something in a notebook, Anzai Morio was initially expecting it to be a check or something.

 But after waiting for a long time, he began to get a little impatient when he saw that Hayashi Yoshiki was still writing.

 "Wait a moment, could you please wait another twenty seconds?"

 Hayashi Yoshiki looked at his watch and smiled.

 "ha?"

 Anzai Morio was very disrespectful. He picked up his phone and stood up. "Since you don't want to pay, I'll just go find another entertainment company."

 ".....You are so impatient. Then please go to the safe deposit box No. 47 in the Beika Hotel. Just tell the front desk the code 'Spider' and you will get the key."

 "How much money is in it?"

 "There's no money, but the stuff inside...

 Hayashi Yoshiki glanced at the time on his watch, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome and delicate face, "It's much more valuable than Mr. Anxi's life."

 "What did you say?"

 Anzai Morio almost thought he had heard it wrong.

 Feeling unhappy, he walked over and was about to pull Hayashi Yoshiki's collar to let him know how powerful he was, but at this moment, the time was up.

 At this moment, Anzai Morio's eyes changed slightly.

 "Anzai Morio"

 "At 1:48 a.m. on May 3, I took out the negatives I used for blackmail and destroyed them, and kept my mouth shut about what happened tonight."

 "On the third day, at 16:03 in the afternoon, go to the Mika Hotel, get the key to safe No. 47 through the code, take out all the items in the safe, and bury them under the big banyan tree in the Tsutsumigawa Green Park."

 "Died of alcoholism thirteen days later"

 This is what Hayashi Yoshiki wrote on the paper.

 The props that Spider made before his death are still kept in the safe of the Rice Flower Hotel.

 Of course, Hayashi Yoshiki would not go there himself to take it out. He had originally planned to manipulate a few more people and have it go through a few more places before delivering it to himself.

 Seeing his sudden change of temper, Hayashi Yoshiki smiled, thanked him, then got up and left the room.

 No matter how many times, he still finds the Death Note's ability to distort other people's wills very interesting...

 Okino Yoko: "How is it, Yoshiki-kun?"

 Okino Yoko: "I'm sorry..."

 Yoko Okino: "It's all my fault for not paying enough attention."

 Yoko Okino hasn't rested yet, and it's obvious that she's feeling very guilty and worried about this matter.

 Hayashi Yoshiki: "Don't worry, it's okay."

 Hayashi Yoshiki: "But in places like this outside, you do need to be careful to avoid this kind of situation."

 Hayashi Yoshiki: "I'll tell you the details later. It's time to go to bed."

 Okino Yoko: "Yeah."

 In the room, Yoko Okino breathed a sigh of relief, holding her cell phone.

 At this moment, what she subconsciously thought of was whether it would be better to have her next "date" with Hayashi Yoshiki in a more private place.
