Kaoru Kusano walked to Osamu Kenzaki and said happily: "Osamu and I plan to get married next spring. We haven't notified the media yet; we're just holding the engagement ceremony today."
"With Osamu protecting me, I'm not afraid of the peeping tom!"
Kaoru Kusano acted very sweet, but Osamu Kenzaki's face was bewildered at first, and then he relaxed and showed a smile.
Seeing this scene, Yuu Hoshimiya raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing on his face.
Bro, it's fake, right?
Acting skills need more practice!
Obviously, this was a scene Kaoru Kusano added temporarily without discussing it with Osamu Kenzaki in advance.
Yuu Hoshimiya looked at Kaoru Kusano.
In comparison, this woman who became famous for her acting skills seemed extremely natural.
At this time, a cold female voice sounded, interrupting Kaoru Kusano's words, saying slightly sarcastically: "So Kaoru's engagement partner is you, Osamu Kenzaki."
Hearing this voice, the three members of the Earth Ladies team in the room turned their heads to look at the door.
Yoko Okino shouted in surprise, "Yuki, you're here!"
Yuki Takeno walked in with her long legs, carrying an exquisite bag in her hand, her dyed brown hair hanging naturally.
She was wearing white trousers, revealing her slender legs, and a light purple gauze top, revealing a faint noble temperament.
On Yuki Takeno's exquisite small face, her features were distinct, carrying a faint cold beauty and femininity.
Every step seemed elegant, as if symbolizing the coldness and beauty of the snow mountain.
Truly worthy of being the woman representing the snow mountain in the Earth Ladies team.
Yuki Takeno's temperament formed a sharp contrast with Kaoru Kusano's enthusiasm, changing the atmosphere of the entire room accordingly.
Yuki Takeno glanced coldly at the people present, stopping on Kaoru Kusano and Osamu Kenzaki, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Congratulations, what a perfect match."
Her words carried dissatisfaction and jealousy, looking coldly at Kaoru Kusano.
Kaoru Kusano was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Thank you, Yuki."
Osamu Kenzaki was somewhat embarrassed, saying concisely: "Mmm, thank you for your blessing."
Clearly, the four women were fine together before; why did Yuki Takeno suddenly lose her temper now?
Yuu Hoshimiya stroked his chin, sensing the beginning of the case.
Immediately, he noticed the bright red and sharp nail art on Yuki Takeno's hand.
In an instant, memory flashed through his mind.
He looked down at Conan, who also noticed something wrong, and revealed a playful smile.
Since he was here today, there would be no chance for the Sleeping Detective Kogoro Mouri to appear.
At this time, hearing the quarrel, a pockmarked curly-haired man walked out of the living room. He was Kaoru Kusano's manager, Atsushi Mama.
Atsushi Mama whispered: "Everyone, sorry to disturb. 'Detective Samonji' is about to start; do you want to watch it together?"
He was a man with a rather weak personality, always taking care of Kaoru Kusano's daily life, equivalent to a follower.
Hearing this, Kaoru Kusano frowned and responded with a bad look: "I don't want to watch it. I'll go take a bath first; call me out when the TV show is over."
Because of Yuki Takeno's bad attitude, her mood also became bad.
Atsushi Mama whispered: "In that case, won't the dishes I cooked get cold?"
Kaoru Kusano suddenly showed a fierce look, and her voice became sharp.
"So noisy; I said I don't want to watch, so I don't want to watch. Don't be long-winded!"
Everyone was startled by Kaoru Kusano's attitude and looked somewhat surprised.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!..."
Atsushi Mama bowed and apologized repeatedly. Osamu Kenzaki looked at the angry Kaoru Kusano helplessly.
Yuu Hoshimiya sighed secretly.
You kid are really unprofessional.
He stepped forward and patted Atsushi Mama on the shoulder, saying calmly: "Just reheat the food if it gets cold. Miss Kaoru is the protagonist today; as a manager, how can you go against her?"
Then, Yuu Hoshimiya turned to look at Kaoru Kusano, deliberately hugged her shoulders, and whispered comfortingly: "Alright, don't be angry with him. You should be the most beautiful today; go take a bath first."
Kaoru Kusano looked up gratefully at Yuu Hoshimiya and nodded. A young handsome guy is better; even his words sound so nice.
Much better than these two smelly men!
Kaoru Kusano turned the corner of the corridor and walked towards the bathroom.
After hesitating for a moment, Osamu Kenzaki chose to chase after her in panic.
He didn't know how to act the next step!
"I'm very sorry for causing you trouble..."
Atsushi Mama also understood that Yuu Hoshimiya was saving the situation for him just now, and hurriedly thanked him.
Yuu Hoshimiya waved his hand, looking at this weak simp manager with a hint of sympathy.
Young man, I gave you a chance but you couldn't grasp it.
"Hmph, putting on airs."
Yuki Takeno snorted lightly, her gaze falling complicatedly on Osamu Kenzaki's retreating back, and then looked at Yuu Hoshimiya.
"We meet again, Mr. Hoshimiya."
She greeted Yuu Hoshimiya, and Yuu Hoshimiya reached out his hand to Yuki Takeno with a smile: "Hello, Miss Takeno."
The moment the two shook hands, Yuu Hoshimiya felt the coldness of Yuki Takeno's palm and said with a smile: "Your hands are a bit cold."
Yuki Takeno smiled slightly and said lightly: "After all, I represent the snow mountain."
Yuu Hoshimiya's smile deepened.
"Hope to learn more about you at this gathering."
Yuki Takeno nodded and released her hand gently.
She still maintained that cold temperament, but her eyes revealed a hint of expectation and curiosity.
This Mr. Hoshimiya was really very handsome, and his temperament and figure were also very outstanding, much more charming than many male stars in the circle.
But such a person didn't join the entertainment industry, but was a teacher of the people instead. Everyone came to the living room and sat down.
The living room had traces of decoration, feeling quite festive, and colorful ribbons hung from the ceiling.
The coffee table was full of various drinks and food, and there was also sumptuous food on the dining table beside it, quite fitting the atmosphere of the engagement party tonight.
Osamu Kenzaki also returned to the living room. Seeing his own work playing on the LCD TV, he sat on the sofa and watched with great interest.
Seeing something happy, he even asked Kogoro Mouri for advice.
"Hey hey, Terumi, Yuki, let's go change clothes?"
Yoko Okino pulled Terumi Hoshino and Yuki Takeno and whispered.
Terumi Hoshino turned around to look at the always eccentric Yoko Okino and said helplessly: "Please, do we really have to do this?"
"Of course, otherwise why call everyone over this time!"
Yoko Okino looked smiling.
And Terumi Hoshino glanced at Yuu Hoshimiya again, feeling a sense of shame in her heart, but for the sake of her good sisters, she could only sacrifice a little.
Terumi Hoshino pretended to be calm and said: "Alright then, Yoko, you change clothes first, Yuki next, and I last."
She wanted to preserve her beautiful impression for Yuu Hoshimiya a little longer.
"Hmph, whatever."
Yuki Takeno snorted lightly. After leaving the Earth Ladies team, her life wasn't very satisfactory.
Despite having a beautiful appearance, she was too cold and unwilling to accept the intimacy expressed by those men, so she still suffered some losses.
This time she was willing to listen to Yoko Okino and come together, also holding the mentality of whether the group could be restored.
"Then it's settled; I'll go change clothes first!"
Yoko Okino walked out happily carrying her bag, and winked at Yuu Hoshimiya, "Hoshimiya-san, I'm going to change clothes; please look forward to it!"
A moment later, Yoko Okino opened the living room door and walked in from outside.
At this moment, Yoko Okino was wearing the clothes from when she just debuted: black small vest, black short shorts, red gauze skirt cape and apron, revealing her small waist and fair long legs.
She wore white boots and white gloves, and what was particularly conspicuous was that her headband even hung two antennas decorated with two stars.
Wearing such an outfit really added a bit of playfulness and cuteness.
Standing in front of Yuu Hoshimiya, a blush appeared on Yoko Okino's face.
Yoko Okino hopped to Yuu Hoshimiya, blinked her big eyes, and asked coquettishly: "Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya, do I look good like this?"
She posed a few modeling actions from the Earth Ladies team period; because it was earlier, she looked a bit immature.
However, Yoko Okino's physical conditions were very good; even now, she was very sweet.
Facing Yoko Okino's enthusiasm, Yuu Hoshimiya just smiled.
Instead, Kogoro Mouri on the side was extremely excited. If it weren't for Ran watching from the side, he would probably have gone crazy on the spot like those fanatic fans.
Under Ran's glaring, Kogoro Mouri finally wasn't too rude.
He gave a thumbs up and laughed in praise: "Very cute, Miss Yoko; you look like this really makes people feel like going back to the past!"
Hearing Kogoro Mouri's praise, Yoko Okino smiled at him in response.
But compared to Kogoro Mouri's praise, she wanted to know what Yuu Hoshimiya thought.
Seeing Yuu Hoshimiya unmoved, she suddenly sat next to him, snuggled up to him, and acted sweet and cloying.
Everyone seeing this scene had different expressions. Except for Kogoro Mouri being extremely jealous, everyone else chose to ignore it.
People around Yuu Hoshimiya were used to his luck with women.
Those not used to it weren't acquaintances, so it wasn't easy to say anything.
If really had to say, could only say Yoko Okino was overly bold.
Sonoko was extremely excited; she jumped up, clapped her hands and said: "Wow, Miss Yoko, you look really great like this! I really like it so much!"
"Miss Hoshino and Miss Takeno change too? Earth Ladies team! Return!"
Sonoko looked excitedly at Terumi Hoshino and Yuki Takeno. Yuki Takeno looked helpless and turned to ask.
"What? Really change? How about not changing?"
Although agreed just now, this feeling of exposing dark history was still somewhat shameful.
"Of course, we dress up as we debuted, sing the debut song for Kaoru to celebrate her engagement today; isn't this the plan we agreed on?"
Yoko Okino was generous; anyway, she had always taken the pure and cute route, no difference.
"Terumi? What do you say? How about you change first?"
Yuki Takeno was now taking the sexy route; going back to the early cute route, she was still somewhat shy and unable to let go inside.
She looked at Terumi Hoshino, originally thinking this always mysterious and cool woman wouldn't participate in such activities.
Unexpectedly, Terumi Hoshino blushed slightly, turned to look at Yuu Hoshimiya: "Mr. Hoshimiya, do you want to see the Earth Ladies team return?"
Yuu Hoshimiya glanced at Yoko Okino who kept acting cute beside him to remind him, and couldn't help smiling and saying: "Of course, the past you were also you; don't be shy, go change."
"Okay, Mr. Hoshimiya!"
Getting Yuu Hoshimiya's affirmative answer, Terumi Hoshino also went to change clothes with a flushed face.
Yuki Takeno looked at all this incredulously, her gaze locked on Yuu Hoshimiya.
What magic does this man have?
Able to make both Yoko Okino and Terumi Hoshino have good feelings for him?
Leaving Yoko aside for now, Terumi, like her, had only met Yuu Hoshimiya once, right?
No one answered Yuki Takeno's doubts; instead, Yuu Hoshimiya suddenly looked at her and said: "Miss Takeno, has anyone said your nail art is beautiful?"
Yuki Takeno was slightly startled; she didn't expect Yuu Hoshimiya to notice such small details.
She looked at her nails and answered with slight surprise: "Few people notice these."
Yuu Hoshimiya nodded, smiling inexplicably.
"You do details very well; hope you continue to maintain it in the future and don't go the wrong way."
Yuki Takeno didn't hear the deep meaning in Yuu Hoshimiya's words. Before officially having a head-on conflict with Kaoru Kusano, she hadn't thought of using nail art to slit the other party's throat.
An imperceptible blush appeared on her face; she coughed lightly to hide the fluctuation in her heart.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Hoshimiya."
Well, nothing else, this man is at least very handsome and good at grasping girls' hearts.
Girls care about such small details very much, especially Yuki Takeno liked her nail art very much; Yuu Hoshimiya noticing this really added points.
At this time, Terumi Hoshino had changed into the cute costume from her early debut and walked into the room blushing.
Her attire was full of youthful breath. She sat next to Yuu Hoshimiya nervously, looking at him carefully.
"Mr. Hoshimiya, does such attire not fit my style?"
She asked in a low voice, her eyes full of uneasiness.
Girls care very much about how the person they like looks at them, even Terumi Hoshino who symbolized the mysterious starry sky was the same.
Yuu Hoshimiya smiled and shook his head: "No, Miss Terumi, such attire suits you very well."
"Who stipulated that the starry sky can't be cute and charming?"
Terumi Hoshino changed; no matter how shy Yuki Takeno was, she could only follow closely.
The living room was soon divided into two sides. One side completely centered on Yuu Hoshimiya, surrounded by beauties.
Sonoko was so happy today, jumping up and down and bluffing, completely acting as the atmosphere group.
And on the other side were Kogoro Mouri, Osamu Kenzaki, Atsushi Mama, and the brat Conan, several big men watching TV dramas.
They envied the atmosphere on Yuu Hoshimiya's side very much, but were helpless.
"Changed."
After a while, Yuki Takeno wearing a black vest and green gauze skirt walked in quite confidently.
Yuu Hoshimiya felt his eyes light up immediately; Yuki Takeno was half a head taller than the other girls.
Her quite tall figure stood out among girls; those two long legs were really somewhat heaven-defying.
"Very good! Come come come, sit here."
Yuu Hoshimiya liked everything, but if he had to choose a favorite, it must be slender beautiful legs.
Jade feet had to rank behind.
Facing Yuu Hoshimiya's praise, Yuki Takeno also walked over and sat down satisfied.
"Kaoru is so slow; why hasn't she come out yet?"
After the group played for a while, Yoko Okino asked strangely.
"I... I'll go check!"
Manager Atsushi Mama stood up submissively. Yuu Hoshimiya frowned slightly, and stood up at the same time saying: "Let's go check together; hope nothing went wrong."
Hearing Yuu Hoshimiya's words, the smiles on everyone's faces subsided a bit.
"How about we all go check; she indeed washed for too long."
Yoko Okino also became worried. Terumi Hoshino nodded, "Although she took a long time to bathe before, not as long as today."
"Let's go check together!"
Ran stood up worriedly. Yuu Hoshimiya nodded, leading everyone towards the bathroom.
On the way, Ran and Sonoko exchanged a worried look, while Conan followed Yuu Hoshimiya with a serious face, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart.
He looked up at the serious Yuu Hoshimiya, then lowered his head and thought desperately.
Something must have happened; otherwise, Yuu Hoshimiya would absolutely not propose to check actively.
What clue did he notice that I didn't find?
Damn it, I was just focused on confronting Osamu Kenzaki just now and didn't find anything.
"Hope she just washed for too long."
Yoko Okino muttered in a low voice behind Yuu Hoshimiya, fingers twisting together nervously.
Terumi Hoshino's gaze stared closely at Yuu Hoshimiya; a serious man is the most handsome.
She liked detectives originally, and now there seemed to be a situation, which excited Terumi Hoshino endlessly.
Yuu Hoshimiya walked in front, but in his heart, he was already considering various possible situations.
Approaching the bathroom, he slowed down, listened to the movement inside, and then knocked on the door gently: "Miss Kusano, are you okay?"
No response.
Silence in the bathroom; only the sound of water flow could be heard faintly.
Yuu Hoshimiya frowned, signaled everyone to be quiet, then tentatively pushed the bathroom door and found it locked.
He looked back at Atsushi Mama, "Is there a spare key?"
Atsushi Mama's face turned pale, nodding hurriedly: "Yes, yes, in the drawer in the living room."
"Go get it quickly."
Yuu Hoshimiya said in a deep voice, and Atsushi Mama hurried to get the key.
Conan, who didn't want to miss any clues, also followed out. His eyes lit up, and he immediately saw the blood dripping from the corridor to the door.
His heart skipped a beat, and he shouted immediately: "Teacher Hoshimiya! There's blood!"
Yuu Hoshimiya's face instantly became solemn. Without waiting for Atsushi Mama to bring the key back, he walked directly to the bathroom door.
"Mr. Hoshimiya, are you going to break the door? Shall we do it together!"
Osamu Kenzaki saw the urgency of the situation and spoke quickly.
"Step aside. Ran, don't let them get close!"
Yuu Hoshimiya said in a deep voice. He lifted his leg and kicked fiercely at the bathroom door.
Boom!
Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, the bathroom door shattered in response, door panels splashing apart.
"This this this..."
Osamu Kenzaki was already scared paralyzed on the ground. Yuu Hoshimiya rushed into the bathroom, and the scene in front of him made his heart sink.
A naked woman lay quietly in the bathtub, a deep cut on her neck, blood flowing out, dyeing the whole tub of water red.
Ran and Sonoko followed Yuu Hoshimiya rushing in; seeing this scene, they exclaimed instantly.
Yoko Okino covered her mouth, tears swirling in her eyes.
"Stop the others! Especially men!"
Yuu Hoshimiya reached out horizontally with a heavy face, directly grabbing a bath towel to cover Kaoru Kusano's body.
He looked back; Ran had already caught the brat Conan who wanted to rush in.
Yoko Okino and Sonoko stopped the frightened Atsushi Mama and Osamu Kenzaki; it seemed there was no big problem.
"Terumi, watch Miss Takeno, then call the police and call an ambulance."
Yuu Hoshimiya turned to look at Terumi Hoshino who had been watching him with calm eyes.
She was indeed very interested in detectives and solving cases, and her mentality was quite good; even this situation didn't shake her.
He simply handed this heavy responsibility to Terumi Hoshino.
"You mean..."
Terumi Hoshino understood, widening those charming starry eyes. She wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Yuu Hoshimiya.
"Everything is suspicion now, without any evidence. Therefore, after you call, go accompany Miss Takeno who might be frightened first; I'll check Miss Kusano's condition."
Yuu Hoshimiya took out gloves from his pocket and put them on, walking to Kaoru Kusano with a serious face.
He wrapped Kaoru Kusano in a bath towel and carefully lifted her out of the bathtub.
The water in the bathroom had been dyed deep red by blood, emitting a strong smell of blood.
He laid Kaoru Kusano flat on the floor, listened to her heartbeat, checked, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Still alive!
Just fainted from excessive blood loss; a small problem for Yuu Hoshimiya.
Yuu Hoshimiya reached out and began to examine the wound on her neck. He observed the cross-section of the wound carefully and frowned.
"This wound..."
Yuu Hoshimiya muttered to himself. The cross-section of the wound was a bit strange, obviously not caused by a sharp weapon, more like scratched by sharpened nails.
