Makeup Wardrobe.
A makeup artist is applying foundation to Kogoro Mouri to make him look better on camera.
Since images captured by a camera through optical principles are two-dimensional, they cannot show the sense of depth or the layers of an object.
Moreover, due to the influence of light and the angle of the camera, people have difficulty perceiving the actual contours of objects in photos, which can make some defects on the subject's face appear exaggerated.
That's why some people who look very attractive in everyday life do not appear as good in photos.
"All set, Mr. Mouri. The recording will begin shortly. We'll send someone to notify you, in the meantime, please wait here for a moment."
After saying this, the makeup artist left.
"Oh no, Lin Yi!"
Kogoro Mouri said anxiously, "I'm starting to get nervous... What am I going to do?"
"Didn't Miss Yoko say that even if we make a mistake, we can redo the recording?"
The more famous Kogoro Mouri becomes, the more attention he attracts, which increases the chances of more takes.
Lin Yi didn't want any problems to arise at this crucial moment.
"No... I'm worried I won't be able to answer the logic questions correctly. If I don't answer them, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
Kogoro Mouri said worriedly, now understanding what "learning late" means.
"Ah... I see..."
Lin Yi thought for a moment, and indeed, it was a problem.
Variety shows in Japan are not like those in China.
Since the entertainment industry in Japan developed earlier, its showbiz world is relatively more mature.
They try to convey the real effects of the show to the audience, rather than creating artificial effects.
Moreover, post-editing can be a nightmare, especially when it comes to people who call themselves detectives. They love showing their mistakes and destroying their image using failed scenes.
"In that case... if you don't know how to answer a question, you could do this..."
Lin Yi quickly gave Kogoro Mouri some advice.
When Kogoro Mouri heard this, his eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Great! That's perfect! You're really a smart guy, Lin! Deciding to bring you along was the best choice."
Kogoro Mouri gave Lin Yi a cheerful pat on the shoulder.
Soon after, the staff knocked on the door and notified Kogoro Mouri that it was time to prepare for the recording.
Upon arriving at the studio, Lin Yi found a seat in the front row and sat down to wait for the recording to begin.
"Hello, excuse me, is this seat taken?"
Lin Yi looked toward the source of the voice and saw a woman with short brown hair asking him.
"No."
Lin Yi shook his head, then looked back at the recording stage.
It was already common for women to approach Lin Yi, and over time, he had become quite relaxed about it.
"Mikai, over here!" The woman with short brown hair called to her friend further back.
"Sorry... this seat is already taken," a spectator next to the short-haired woman gave a small warning.
"Then I'll sit over there."
The girl named Mikai sat next to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at her quickly and saw that she had long brown hair.
Once again, a beautiful woman.
Lin Yi couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected, in a place like this, it's very easy to meet beautiful women."
He said, "Would you like to switch places?"
"No need," Mikai smiled and waved her hand, saying, "This is perfect... sister, your drink."
"Thanks."
The woman with short brown hair took the drink from Mikai's hands.
Meanwhile, the filming team was adjusting the cameras, and the editor on site was explaining the recording process to Kogoro Mouri.
"Did you come alone?"
The woman with short brown hair started a conversation with Lin Yi.
"No... I came with Detective Mouri."
Lin Yi didn't want to sit idle, so he started chatting with them.
"Ah... I see."
The woman with short brown hair said, "We're fans of Yoko... we came for her."
"Sisters?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He looked at the short-haired woman on his left, then at Mikai, the long-haired brown-haired girl on his right.
He remembered something and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you blood sisters?"
"Yes."
The woman with short brown hair covered her mouth and smiled, "My name is Aoi Takeda, and this is my sister, Mikai Takeda."
Lin Yi looked at them with a different expression, also smiling.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lin Yi, I'm Detective Mouri's assistant."
Saying this, Lin Yi shook hands with both of them, "Did you just graduate from university?"
"Not at all." Aoi Takeda covered her mouth while holding back a laugh, "I've been working for a few years."
"I also work now." Mikai Takeda, being mistaken for a university student, smiled.
"Really? You didn't look like it..." Lin Yi said with a "surprised" expression.
"You also look very young..."
"So, how old do you think I am?"
"Hmm... twenty?"
"No."
"...."
Meanwhile, Yoko, who was in the host's seat waiting to begin the recording, was passing the time, distracted.
When she accidentally looked toward the stands, she saw Lin Yi laughing and talking with the two girls. Something inside her didn't like it.
When she had talked to him earlier, he hadn't smiled that much; he had only done so slightly.
What's going on... are the two girls prettier than me?
Yoko couldn't help but frown, feeling upset.
She tried to look away, but couldn't stop staring over there.
Especially when she saw Lin Yi take out his phone and start exchanging numbers with the two girls.
That made her feel even worse.
That night, Lin Yi had enough time to be with her, and he hadn't even asked for her phone number. Now, after such a short time, he's already exchanging numbers with them?
"Miss Yoko?"
"Miss Yoko?"
"Hmm?"
Yoko snapped back to reality and realized that the main host, Takashi Matsuo, was calling her.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling sick?"
Takashi Matsuo asked with concern.
"No... I didn't sleep well last night, but it's nothing."
Yoko quickly made up an excuse for her distraction.
"Once the recording starts, you can't be distracted anymore."
Takashi Matsuo gave her a warning.
"Yes, I understand, sorry."
Yoko had no choice but to apologize.
"Alright... this is the final question, you will ask it to Kogoro Mouri."
Takashi Matsuo said while handing Yoko a card with the question on it.
"I know."
Yoko looked curiously at the content of the card, stopping for a moment as she read it.
