"In the end, she didn't really want to kill you either; she held back her strength, causing a small wound."
Yuu Hoshimiya continued her words, looking at Kaoru Kusano with eyes that saw through everything.
"I have deduced all these, but what I didn't expect is that you, Miss Kusano, actually didn't report her and are even covering for her."
"Why is that?"
Kaoru Kusano was silent for a while, and finally looked up, her eyes full of complex emotions.
"Because Yuki was once my best friend. Although the four of us separated later, I can't forget the time when we were still in the Earth Ladies team."
"Actually, it's also my fault. I underestimated women's jealousy. I shouldn't have teamed up with Kenzaki to trick her with the engagement. I just wanted to stimulate her and make her work harder."
Kaoru Kusano looked somewhat regretful, "If only I had told her directly."
Yuu Hoshimiya raised his eyebrows, "The information I got from Miss Takeno is that because you took away a lot of her resources..."
"That's not true!"
Kaoru Kusano retorted firmly, "I have never snatched Yuki's resources!"
Yuu Hoshimiya's eyes held a trace of inquiry, "Then why would she say that?"
Kaoru Kusano sighed, her emotions gradually calming down, "Yuki always feels that I get more opportunities and resources than her. In fact, these are arranged by the company. I didn't actively fight for them, and even actively shared resources with Yuki."
"But the misunderstanding between us has already arisen. Yuki thought I gave her resources only out of pity. This time's 'Detective Samonji' is the same..."
The heroine of "Detective Samonji" is Kaoru Kusano, which is why she had contact with Osamu Kenzaki who played the hero.
In fact, Kaoru Kusano had always been alone.
Except for that sissy manager, she had almost no communication with men.
"Mr. Hoshimiya, I hope you can talk to Yuki properly for me and resolve the grudge between us."
Kaoru Kusano looked at Yuu Hoshimiya with hopeful eyes, "This is a good opportunity; I don't want to lose Yuki as a good friend."
Yuu Hoshimiya pondered for a moment and nodded, "I understand, Miss Kaoru. It's okay if you want my help; I happen to have a method that might help you."
Kaoru Kusano asked hurriedly, "What method? I can accept anything!"
Yuu Hoshimiya smiled slightly and continued, "Yuki is already my woman. As long as you also become my woman, everyone being frank with each other, such misunderstandings won't arise."
Kaoru Kusano's cheeks turned red immediately. As a star, she naturally knew some absurd things in the circle, but she always kept a respectful distance.
Yuu Hoshimiya's straightforward words confused and shamed her.
"Um... Mr. Hoshimiya, didn't you just meet Yuki... and what does everyone being frank with each other mean?"
"It means literally what it says."
Yuu Hoshimiya leaned close to Kaoru Kusano, "I think the criminal who attacked you is also an ugly and fat peeping tom, having nothing to do with your good sister Yuki Takeno, nor with my woman Yuki."
His words made Kaoru Kusano understand immediately; she was no longer a silly sweet girl who just entered the entertainment industry.
Mr. Hoshimiya needs me to state my position.
Yuki Takeno has already become Yuu Hoshimiya's woman.
Whether to get protection or hope to get Yuu Hoshimiya's support.
Because he accepted Tomoko Ikezawa's invitation and attended the celebrity gathering, some gossip about him spread somewhat.
After all, Tomoko Ikezawa's mouth was only tight when sucking him; usually, she was just an ordinary person, especially when she was proud, easy to let the cat out of the bag.
Nana Osanai was a bit better, but the two had rendezvoused several times, inevitably seen by people.
Although there was no actual evidence, speculation and rumors didn't need evidence.
Kaoru Kusano didn't believe it mostly before, but now...
Although she wanted to reconcile with Yuki Takeno, it didn't mean she wanted to be surpassed by Yuki Takeno.
Women's jealousy is very terrible, especially in the entertainment industry where resources are limited and every position is filled.
Wasn't it because of excessive jealousy that Tomoko Ikezawa committed illegal acts like threatening and intimidating Yoko Okino?
Thinking that Yuki Takeno would be promoted by Yuu Hoshimiya, at that time, it wouldn't be her stimulating Yuki, but the other way around.
Moreover, this incident also made her completely disappointed with Atsushi Mama.
Not being moved upon hearing her engagement was one thing, but his performance afterwards was also a mess.
More importantly, if Atsushi Mama wasn't incompetent, she wouldn't have needed to plan the engagement party drama, wouldn't have fallen out completely with Yuki Takeno, and wouldn't be in danger of life.
All feelings will wear away, love and hate alike.
After this incident, Kaoru Kusano had completely no feelings for Atsushi Mama. Anyway, except for cooking for her and arranging schedules, the two hadn't even held hands.
Cutting ties was surprisingly simple and easy.
"Mr. Hoshimiya, I agree to your conditions."
Kaoru Kusano made a decision in her heart, shyly moved aside, and pulled open the quilt on the bed.
Yuu Hoshimiya naturally understood such an obvious hint.
He curled his lips, revealing a meaningful smile, and without hesitation, sat directly next to Kaoru Kusano, whispering: "Miss Kusano, won't you reconsider your manager?"
Kaoru Kusano's cheeks were crimson, nodding gently, shy and charming.
"Being Mr. Hoshimiya's lover is better than being with that kind of person."
A girl's shyness is the best makeup. Yuu Hoshimiya smiled slightly, reached out to put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered, "Then, from now on, you are mine."
"Yes, please treat me like you treated Yuki, Mr. Hoshimiya."
Kaoru Kusano shyly unbuttoned her clothes.
"Then I'm afraid you can't bear it; let's change the way."
Yuu Hoshimiya picked her up, "Yuki had one leg in the air; you'll have two legs!"
"Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya... being lifted like this... is too shameful!"
Kaoru Kusano's face was as red as a ripe apple; she covered her face with both hands, protesting shyly.
Yuu Hoshimiya lifted her high, her petite figure completely in his control.
Her feet were off the ground, just like being held to pee when she was a child.
This posture made her ashamed to show her face, wishing to hide her whole person.
"Kaoru, if you want to become a beautiful and mature woman like Yuki, you have to overcome this shyness."
Yuu Hoshimiya smiled mischievously, his tone carrying a bit of teasing and doting.
Kaoru Kusano's voice became humming, like a teased kitten.
"Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya... really..."
As Yuu Hoshimiya began to increase the strength of his hands, Kaoru Kusano also softened; she splashed water mist blurrily, stepping onto the stairs of adulthood step by step.
"Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya, I feel so strange..."
"What should I do? Can you teach me?"
Kaoru Kusano's voice was as tender as grass just sprouting in spring. Her back leaned against Yuu Hoshimiya's chest, hands raised high, hugging Yuu Hoshimiya's neck backwards.
In this posture, everything on her body was revealed undoubtedly.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you right now."
Yuu Hoshimiya saw that Kaoru Kusano's state was about right, sharpened his long spear, and started thrusting like a dragon! "It hurts... Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya!"
"Am I growing into a mature woman?"
Kaoru Kusano was in so much pain that tears were about to come out; blood flowers dripped down, symbolizing that she had completely become a woman.
"Of course, you are already my woman."
Yuu Hoshimiya kissed Kaoru Kusano's lips, hugging the petite her and starting to exert force. "Squelch... squelch..."
"Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya... Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya..."
The symphonic sound echoed in the ward; Kaoru Kusano couldn't withstand this pleasure at all, having already shouted her injured throat hoarse.
"Coming out, coming out..."
Kaoru Kusano screamed; because her feet were always in the air, her senses were also floating in the sky.
Therefore, the pleasure was doubled.
Yuu Hoshimiya was like using a cup, grabbing Kaoru Kusano and using her vigorously. "Ah ah ah!"
Kaoru Kusano couldn't hold back completely, spraying randomly in the air.
Yuu Hoshimiya also injected full energy into her along with her rhythm. After the rain and clouds dispersed, Yuu Hoshimiya put the completely immobile Kaoru Kusano on the bed, and even helped her change the soaked sheets conveniently.
"...Mr. Hoshimiya..."
Kaoru Kusano looked at Yuu Hoshimiya tiredly but with a smile, "In this way, can Yuki and I be good friends forever?"
"Of course, you will be the best sisters."
Yuu Hoshimiya wiped Kaoru Kusano's sweaty forehead, "I'm going to the police station now to help you make a statement and solve this case. Afterwards, I will arrange a new manager for you, and then continue working with Yuki."
"In this way, you not only reconcile but can also continue to live and work together like when you just debuted."
"Thank you, Mr. Hoshimiya."
Kaoru Kusano thanked Yuu Hoshimiya seriously, then blinked playfully.
"Like you the most~ If there is a chance, I can serve you with Yuki next time~"
This sentence sounded somewhat stimulating to Yuu Hoshimiya.
A female idol is a female idol after all; no matter how pure, she is much bolder and more open than ordinary girls.
He pinched Kaoru Kusano's charming nose and grinned: "Then I'll remember it. If possible, I hope the four of you Earth Ladies serve me together."
Kaoru Kusano widened her eyes, "No way, Mr. Hoshimiya, can you collect all four of us?"
"Maybe."
Yuu Hoshimiya didn't tell her that actually, as long as he wanted, Terumi Hoshino and Yoko Okino could be taken down anytime.
He didn't like bragging and painting cakes; it wouldn't be too late to say after succeeding.
He could see that Yoko Okino and Terumi Hoshino had a very good impression of him. Terumi Hoshino was purely admiring and adoring, while Yoko Okino seemed to have some little thoughts.
But it didn't matter; the more needs, the easier to handle.
With more experience, Yuu Hoshimiya increasingly understood that two people being together often didn't rely on feelings, but more on mutual benefits, needing each other.
Pure and beautiful love has been rare since ancient times; if loyal love could be easily harvested, love wouldn't be so yearned for.
Yuu Hoshimiya planned to talk to Yoko Okino first later. Once this popular pure idol was taken down, Terumi Hoshino, this cold and cool mature lady, would be easy to catch. Yuu Hoshimiya walked out of the ward, took out his phone, and quickly sent a message to Ayako Suzuki, instructing her to arrange for Yuki Takeno and Kaoru Kusano to transfer companies and change managers.
Subsequently, he turned to Ran and Sonoko and said: "The case is over; you go home first. I'll go to the police station to finish the statement and then come back."
Originally, Yuu Hoshimiya avoided making statements if possible, but letting others do it, in case they found loopholes in Kaoru Kusano's words or other doubts, it would be bad.
It wasn't unsolvable, but that would be more troublesome than making a statement.
So, Yuu Hoshimiya simply went on stage personally.
"Yes~"
Ran nodded very obediently, pulling Sonoko, who was already a bit tired after playing all day, leaving the hospital and taking a taxi home.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan didn't stay long either. Cases ended, not going home to rest; rushing to the police station to make statements like Yuu Hoshimiya?
Soon, only the four members of the Earth Ladies team and Yuu Hoshimiya were left in the hospital.
"Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya, what did Kaoru tell you?"
At this time, Yoko Okino stepped forward and asked Yuu Hoshimiya directly.
"Nothing, she just told me all the information about the criminal, and I comforted her."
Yuu Hoshimiya smiled, looked at Yoko Okino and said: "Yoko, you can stay if you want; accompany her."
"Oh right, Yuki, you stay too; talk to Kaoru more, you and she will work together in the future."
"Ah... yes."
Yuki Takeno nodded, tears accumulating rapidly in her eyes.
Except for Yuu Hoshimiya, Yuki Takeno knew the whole case best; she certainly understood what happened.
She didn't care what transaction Kaoru made with Mr. Yuu Hoshimiya or what happened to calm the whole incident down.
She knew this was the most perfect solution now.
"Okay, okay, we'll go right away."
Yoko Okino pulled Yuki Takeno and ran into Kaoru Kusano's ward. Seeing Kaoru Kusano's appearance, the two women looked at each other; how could they not know what Yuu Hoshimiya did just now?
They quickly closed the ward door and began to tidy up.
Yuki Takeno just experienced the same thing, needless to mention, but Yoko Okino's performance surprised Yuu Hoshimiya very much.
Sure enough, being able to become a top female idol, Yoko Okino couldn't be a simple little white rabbit.
People who really treat her as a pure and innocent girl are the truly naive ones.
At this time, Terumi Hoshino stood beside Yuu Hoshimiya, looking like a little fangirl.
This is a good opportunity, Terumi; must perform well!
Terumi Hoshino looked at Yuu Hoshimiya who arranged everything handsomely, her heart beating thump-thump.
She stepped forward and asked Yuu Hoshimiya carefully: "Mr. Hoshimiya, is there anything I can help with?"
"Mmm, I'll go to the police station first; talk later."
Yuu Hoshimiya glanced at her, deliberately ignored Terumi Hoshino, and walked straight towards the hospital exit.
Just then, Kazunobu Chiba and Osamu Kenzaki also managed to avoid the reporters and came to Yuu Hoshimiya panting.
"Hosh... Hoshimiya-san, how is the situation?"
Fat Kazunobu Chiba wiped his sweat and said to Yuu Hoshimiya with difficulty.
"All clear; let's go, back to the police station, don't disturb the girls chatting."
Yuu Hoshimiya grabbed Chiba and Osamu Kenzaki, walking back towards the pile of reporters they just squeezed out of.
"Huh? Going back?"
Kazunobu Chiba and Osamu Kenzaki looked at each other simultaneously, revealing tragic expressions.
And the ignored Terumi Hoshino stood still, getting nervous for a while; worry and uneasiness intertwined in her heart, making her at a loss.
I...
Did I do something wrong, disliked by Mr. Hoshimiya?
Terumi Hoshino gritted her teeth, turned around with confusion, and entered Kaoru Kusano's ward.
The smell in the ward stunned Terumi Hoshino at once.
Could it be that even Kaoru...
She hurriedly ran to Kaoru Kusano, only to see Kaoru Kusano blushing and shrinking in the quilt, while Yoko Okino and Yuki Takeno were helping her clean up the soaked sheets.
Terumi Hoshino understood everything.
Am I the only one who is not Mr. Hoshimiya's woman?
Yoko Okino's behavior made her misunderstand, thinking Yuu Hoshimiya and Yoko Okino had an affair long ago.
After all, Yoko Okino and Yuu Hoshimiya knew each other very early, and she was the cutest girl with the best personality among them; being fancied by Yuu Hoshimiya was a matter of course.
As for Yoko Okino disagreeing...
In Terumi Hoshino's view, how could a woman refuse such an excellent, handsome man with ability and background like Yuu Hoshimiya!
Partly facts, partly filter enhancement.
Love makes people blind is not nonsense.
Terumi Hoshino bit her lip, feeling unbalanced inside.
This sour, unwilling feeling was really uncomfortable.
No, I must think of a way; can't fall behind everyone!
"Yoko, I remember you have a suspense drama to shoot, right? Can you bring me along?" Terumi Hoshino leaned to Yoko Okino and asked.
Yoko Okino, who finished tidying up the sheets, smiled and nodded, "Of course, that's great; it just hasn't started shooting yet, I'll tell the director."
"Then it's settled!"
Terumi Hoshino clenched her fist. When the suspense drama starts shooting, she plans to take this opportunity to invite Yuu Hoshimiya.
Then think of a way to take down Yuu Hoshimiya and stand on the same level as her sisters! Leaving behind Osamu Kenzaki with a face full of despair, Yuu Hoshimiya pulled Officer Chiba back to the police station.
Simply completing the case statement and the description of the suspect's appearance, Yuki Takeno's suspicion was completely cleared.
There are countless unsolved cases in Japan. Since the party concerned, Kaoru Kusano, didn't urgently demand solving the case, the police naturally weren't anxious.
Yuu Hoshimiya walking out of the statement room stopped in place as a prompt suddenly popped up in his mind.
Turns out the event ended, giving him a lot of experience again. Plus the accumulated experience before, as well as experience from dual cultivation and daily absorption, it was just enough to upgrade all three major attributes.
After equal distribution, the attributes on the personal panel finally became very balanced and tidy for the first time.
[Name]: Yuu Hoshimiya (41%)
Although attributes only increased by one or two levels compared to before, the strength bonus was at least one-tenth.
Besides attribute experience, the system upgrade progress also increased by six percent under his persistent Contracting and Chaining.
Progress was considered good, but sure enough, to upgrade the system quickly, still have to Contract Ai as soon as possible.
"Brother Yuu Hoshimiya, why are you standing here stupidly?"
Inspector Megure also walked out of the statement room, seeing Yuu Hoshimiya standing at the window in a daze, he went up to greet him.
"Oh, Inspector Megure, I was just thinking about this case just now; sorry for making you laugh."
Yuu Hoshimiya came back to his senses and smiled at Inspector Megure.
"Sigh, such things always happen; we are not omnipotent."
"But speaking of which, Brother Hoshimiya, are you free recently? Last time I had something urgent and couldn't accompany you well. As thanks and apology, you must let me treat you to a meal again."
Inspector Megure said very sincerely.
Looking at that fat face strict with himself in greening, Yuu Hoshimiya waved his hand and said modestly: "Inspector Megure is too polite; Madam already took good care of me last time."
These days he wanted to achieve the entertainment industry collection achievement as soon as possible, so he had no time to taste Midori Megure, this mature beauty, for the time being.
Wait for a while, when her hair grows long, he will help develop her again, striving to make the womanly charm contained in Midori Megure's beautiful body fully mature.
Inspector Megure laughed twice with slight disappointment and continued: "Back to this case, although the weapon wasn't found, your intuition and judgment are as accurate as ever. Yuki Takeno is also an artist; fortunately, we didn't wrong her, otherwise we would be sprayed to death by her fans."
Yuu Hoshimiya responded with a smile: "Yes, although she was suspicious, there was no conclusive evidence proving she was the murderer. Moreover, the real murderer is probably still in the dark; we need to continue investigating."
Inspector Megure pondered for a while, then said: "Alright, let's put this matter aside for now, but you must continue to stay alert. If there are any new clues, tell me immediately."
"Of course."
Now, this case was completely over.
Inspector Megure generally wouldn't keep such an unsolved case in mind all the time, let alone a case involving an artist.
After all, one less thing is better than one more thing.
