Upon hearing Sasaki's additional information, he immediately picked up a document and began to examine it carefully...
Chapter 131 Earth Ladies Team
Ugh……
Sasaki glanced at Matsuda, who was speaking eloquently on television beside him.
Then I looked at Kujo, who had clearly lost a lot of weight recently.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
……
In Yoko Okino's apartment, the former Earth Ladies team reunited.
Four girls sat close together on the sofa, watching the Detective Koshien tournament on TV.
When the scene showed Rena Mizunashi introducing Matsuda, Kaoru Kusano suddenly nudged Yoko with her elbow and teased, "Hey, Yoko, this Officer Matsuda, isn't he the one you have a crush on?"
"Otherwise, why did you insist on calling us all to watch his show together?"
Yoko Okino blushed deeply after being confronted by Kaoru Kusano, and stammered in defense.
"I only suggested it because I realized it's been a long time since we've all gotten together!"
"Really?" Kusano Kaoru asked deliberately. "I heard that someone has already given the other person a token of love?"
“That wasn’t a token of love, it was just an ordinary sachet,” Yoko Okino explained, blushing.
Seeing this, Hoshino Terumi stepped in to help her out of the predicament.
"Don't even mention Yoko, Kaoru, didn't you dream of getting married in a flash at twenty like Fujimine Yukiko? Now, have you found someone to marry?"
Yukiko Fujimine is Shinichi Kudo's mother. It was her name before she got married. She is also the object of Kaoru Kusano's admiration.
Hoshino Terumi's question made Kusano Kaoru glance at her manager, Masaki Atsushi, who was busy preparing dinner.
After noticing that he didn't seem to hear Hoshino Terumi's question and was just continuing to prepare the food,
Kusano Kaoru pouted and said somewhat dejectedly, "Not yet."
"And you, Yuki?" Hoshino Terumi looked at Takeno Yuki beside her.
"What?" Yue Yexue asked, taking a sip of beer.
"Your marriage partner?"
Hoshino Terumi put her arm around Takeno Yuki's shoulder and recalled, "I remember you used to say you liked that guy named Kenzaki Osamu, didn't you?"
"What? Xiaoxue, you actually like Kenzaki Shu?"
Kusano Kaoru exclaimed in surprise, "I'm going to be filming a TV series with that guy in a few days."
"What a coincidence?"
Yoko Okino suggested, "In that case, why doesn't Yuki take the opportunity of visiting Kaoru on set to visit the film crew more often? Maybe she'll get what she wants in the end."
Yue Yexue was immediately tempted, but in front of her three friends,
If I admit it directly, I'll immediately become the target of their ridicule.
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, who are you all supporting in this year's Detective Koshien?"
"Of course I'm Shinichi Kudo,"
Hoshino Terumi took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, lit it, and then chuckled as she fiddled with the lighter in her hand.
"He's the representative of Tokyo."
“But this time it’s not Shinichi Kudo himself,” Yukino Yuki shook her head and said, “I wonder if that girl who’s replacing Shinichi Kudo will be up to the task?”
“I don’t know if that girl is suitable,” Kusano Kaoru suddenly laughed, “but I do know that some people will definitely be disappointed.”
"What disappointment?" Yoko Okino and Yuki Takeno were both puzzled.
"Don't you two know?"
Kusano Kaoru said strangely, "The girl who represented him this time clearly has a close relationship with Kudo Shinichi, and some of them even consider Kudo Shinichi to be their crush..."
Before Kusano Kaoru could finish speaking, Hoshino Terumi had already grabbed a sausage and stuffed it into her mouth.
"You talk too much!" Hoshino Terumi said sternly.
"No way, Hui Mei, you actually..."
Yoko Okino and Yuki Takeno both looked surprised.
Neither of them expected that the oldest and most mature-looking of them, Hoshino Terumi, would have a crush on a high school student.
“Don’t listen to Kaoru’s nonsense, those are all things of the past,” Hoshino Terumi exhaled a smoke ring, shook her head and laughed, “Besides, that feeling was mostly gratitude, it couldn’t be called unrequited love at all.”
"Grateful?" The other three girls all looked on with curiosity.
Hoshino Terumi had no choice but to explain it to them.
It turns out that after the Earth Ladies group disbanded, Terumi Hoshino switched from being an idol to becoming an actress.
Just when she finally defeated many competitors and won her first leading role in her life.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred during his first television drama performance.
An actress who had previously competed with her for the lead role was suddenly attacked and killed.
And because Hoshino Terumi had argued with her shortly before her death,
This led the police to immediately consider Hoshino Terumi as the prime suspect.
Because of this incident, filming was halted, and even Terumi Hoshino herself was restricted from movement by the police.
For Hoshino Terumi, who had just transitioned from idol to actress at that time, it was clearly a nightmare.
"And then what happened? Was it all found out?" Yoko Okino asked blankly.
"Idiot, of course we need to find out the truth, otherwise Hui Mei wouldn't be here!"
Kusano Kaoru gave Yoko a playful shove.
Yoko then realized what was happening, and smiled sheepishly.
She continued listening to Hoshino Terumi tell stories along with the other two.
"Later, Shinichi Kudo appeared and found out the truth. It turned out that the actress was killed by her ex-boyfriend because he held a grudge against her for forcing her to break up with him."
Terumi Hoshino recalled,
"Thanks to his reasoning, I was cleared of suspicion, and filming resumed as normal. That's how it was."
"No wonder you have feelings for Shinichi Kudo, Terumi-nee..."
Kaoru Kusano nodded in understanding.
"So she was rescued by a hero."
"You talk too much..."
Hoshino Terumi glared at Kusano Kaoru, but did not refute her.
It's clear that what Kusano Kaoru said is pretty much the truth.
"No wonder you were so hostile towards Officer Matsuda when you first met him, Terumi-nee."
Yoko suddenly realized,
"At the time, I thought you were taking your anger out on Officer Matsuda because the neighbor's girl had an accident and the police couldn't catch the culprit."
“That is indeed the main reason,” Hoshino Terumi nodded, “but my previous experiences are also the reason why I hate the police.”
"But I didn't expect that guy to be different from ordinary police officers; he was able to find out the truth so quickly and even catch the criminal."
Hoshino Terumi looked at Matsuda on TV and smiled.
"He made me feel a little bit more favorably toward the police again."
"Kaori-nee, you don't actually have a crush on Officer Matsuda, do you?" Kusano Kaoru asked in surprise.
Hoshino Terumi frowned.
After noticing that Yoko Okino was also looking at her nervously, Terumi Hoshino shook her head with a smile.
"Don't worry, Yoko. Officer Matsuda just showed me that detectives aren't the only ones who can uncover the truth, but he's far from making me like the police."
Chapter 132 The Difference Between Police and Detectives
“Yeah, I know, it’s because he’s older than Hui Mei,” Yue Yexue suddenly interjected teasingly, “and our Hui Mei only likes people younger than her…”
These words immediately made Kaoru Kusano and Yoko Okino, who were standing nearby, burst into laughter.
Hoshino Terumi initially had a stern face and wanted to get angry, but seeing her three friends laughing together, she couldn't help but laugh out loud in the end.
……
Just as the four girls of the Earth Ladies team were making fun of each other,
The TV program "Detective Koshien" also aired the part about Rena Mizunashi's accident.
During the live broadcast, Rena Mizunashi, seeing her own terrified face and blood-covered appearance on the screen, seemed quite startled herself.
She exclaimed to the camera, "I never imagined that my first time acting would be playing a dead person."
Immediately afterwards, Rena Mizunashi couldn't help but comment, "Of the four detectives present at the time, Heiji Hattori and Saguru Hakuba reacted the fastest. However, of the two, Heiji Hattori seemed a bit impulsive and not as composed as Saguru Hakuba."
After saying that, Rena Mizunashi looked at Matsuda, seeking his opinion.
These were questions that the program director had prepared in advance, and Matsuda was already prepared for them, so he simply said them.
"From a detective's point of view, Hakuba Saguru's actions were indeed the best when Ms. Mizunashi was in danger."
Hattori, sitting in the next seat, immediately curled his lip in dissatisfaction.
Hakuba seemed to regain some of his previous arrogance after Matsuda's acknowledgment.
Unfortunately, Matsuda hadn't finished speaking.
"But from the police's perspective, Hattori Heiji's actions are commendable."
