Fujino: There is Killer Intent!

A young couple getting engaged should be a sweet and romantic occasion, and celebrity engagement parties... shouldn't just consist of just these two friends.

From Fujino's observation, these two people don't seem to have a close relationship, at least that's how it seems.

For example, when they hold hands, they always deliberately keep their distance. In his experience, if the relationship is really good, they should normally fall in love first.

—It's also possible that things will be too peaceful for them to fall into trouble.

Of course, whether it's fair or not doesn't matter.

It mainly comes down to the relationship between these two people.

Fujino looked up and scrutinized the two men. He was certain that there was something fishy about them!

"You two are so lovey-dovey."

The speaker was a woman with long hair and a mature, charming appearance.

The woman wore a purple tank top, had long red manicures, and her shoulders were faintly visible under the same-colored tulle. A light blue long skirt hugged her legs, and her every move exuded the aura of a rebellious older sister.

Yuki Takeyano pushed open the apartment door and walked in, teasing Kaoru Kusano, "By the way, is Samonji's movie ready for tonight? I'm going to give you my blessings while mocking you all..."

"Xue, your nails are still so outrageous."

Upon seeing the other person, Shu Kenzaki couldn't help but make a comment.

"How about it?"

Yuki Takeyano showed off her nails. "My manicure looks pretty good, right?"

"Ha ha..."

Yoko Okino chuckled dryly, then said, "You're here too. If Hui-nee were here, then all of us from back then would be together."

"The person has arrived."

Fujino turned around and looked at the half-closed door behind him.

A pretty woman with a short black ponytail leaned against the door frame, smoking a cigarette and looking around at everyone.

She wore a dark blue sleeveless top, paired with gray skinny casual pants, and a black coat, giving off an aura of an unapproachable, icy beauty.

"I didn't expect Sister Hui to come too."

Kaoru Kusano's tone was a bit strange, with a hint of sarcasm.

Judging from their expressions, it seemed like there was some kind of conflict between the two of them.

"It's just that Yoko insisted on having me come over."

Terumi Hoshino glanced at the detective who had first noticed her, paused, and then said in a cool, indifferent voice, "If you're not welcome, I won't stay any longer..."

"How could that be!"

Yoko Okino pulled him into the apartment and warmly reassured him, saying, "We Earth Ladies haven't seen each other in ages!"

Terumi Hoshino was reluctantly pulled into the apartment, her gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Fujino.

Noticing the gaze, Fujino also glanced at the woman opposite him.

It wasn't for any other reason; he was simply curious because he felt that this celebrity resembled his junior Aoyama Motoko, and they were likely voiced by the same person.

Terumi Hoshino's gaze lingered for a moment, a blush rising on her cheeks, before she turned her gaze away with a cool expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Fujino:???

Fujino was completely baffled by the woman's strange behavior.

What's with this forced calmness?

Could this person be a fan of my detective stories?

Fujino pondered for a moment.

So they decided to test the waters...

Thinking this, Fujino looked away and suddenly said to Yoko, "By the way, Earth Ladies, the idol group that Miss Yoko debuted with, seems to be all here today."

Have you heard of it too?

When Yoko Okino heard Fujino mention her team's name, she was initially surprised, but then realized it was rare for him to be interested, and explained, "That's the team we formed when we first debuted, called Earth Ladies Team."

"I heard about it from Uncle Mori lives across the street from my house."

Fujino shook his head with a hint of helplessness. "The idol group consisted of four members, but it disbanded for some reason. I don't really like following celebrities, so I don't know much about these things, but I have done some basic research."

"That's true... Fujino- kun doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of thing."

Yoko Okino wasn't surprised, since as far as she knew, the other person didn't seem to have any idols, or even anyone to admire.

As for his fame, he has always let it grow freely. He only accepted a variety show that he and Yuko invited him to, and it seems that he has not accepted any other offers. At most, he has done interviews for some major events.

Hoshino Miki across from him twitched her ears, bit her cigarette butt, and looked somewhat disappointed.

If only a normal high school student were here, they would definitely be following behind this older sister asking for an autograph by now!

Fujino, seeing this, immediately understood: 'Yeah, that's confirmed, these are my fans!'

"The reason for the disbandment can of course not be found through investigation."

Yuki Takeyano sighed and said, "The real reason was that Huimei and Xiaoxun disagreed back then. When people in the team started arguing, it was impossible to continue the group, so we disbanded after that."

"These are all old, trivial matters. Besides, the group was already slowly declining at that time, so naturally no one will remember them after the disbandment."

Terumi Hoshino didn't seem to have any regrets about the team's disbandment. She took out a cigarette case, collected the cigarette butts, and looked at Fujino: "Speaking of which, I think we were talking about an investigation earlier. I don't think you, the Great Detective, came here just to attend a party, right?"

Fujino chuckled softly but remained silent.

Although everyone present was an acquaintance, since it was a commissioned task, the confidentiality agreement should be strictly observed.

Even fans won't do...

The person involved can say it's okay, but the detective absolutely cannot.

"Is it because Xiao Xun was harassed by a stalker?"

Shu Kenzaki picked up the conversation, smiling somewhat awkwardly, "But once she marries me, no one should bother her anymore."

The words had barely left his lips.

Yuki Takeyano's expression darkened slightly, her brows furrowing slightly, and then a chilling coldness gradually spread around her.

To put it dramatically, it was like black fog.

Fujino suddenly felt the temperature around him drop a bit. Looking towards the freezing point, he saw her clenched fists, her fake nails almost digging into the flesh of her palms.

Fujino: "..."

It has a shark-like aura!

And it has such a strong and intense shark smell!

The "shark aura" that Fujino spoke of was more accurately described as micro-expressions. Although Fujino had not studied psychology, he was still able to determine the changes in emotions through his superb perception of simple emotional changes.

Those who frequently commit murder know that unless the killer is a seasoned killer or has no ulterior motives, the killer will definitely have obvious hesitation and emotional changes before committing murder – confirming the killer!

The target of the murder was clearly Kaoru Kusano!

The murderous intent arose when marriage was mentioned; the purpose of the killing was marriage, and Tie wanted to kill someone because his unrequited love for Tie was unrequited!
