In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 471

I promised to visit the Megure family when I have time to try the lady's "cooking" and bring her some "warmth" along the way~

Natsume saw Inspector Megure off, while Atsushi was led towards the elevator by two officers, however—

"Officer, I want to report something!"

Jian Xiongdu suddenly raised his head, his eyes surging with resentment:

"I did intend to kill him because Kaoru was going to marry Kenzaki, but—"

"There's someone here who shares the same thought as me! She's actually planning to make a move against Ah Xun too!"

Yue Yexue's expression changed, and her pretty face turned pale.

She wasn't afraid that Kusano Kaoru would find out the truth about "217".

She was afraid that if Kusano Kaoru knew the truth, she would blame Okino Yoko and Hoshino Terumi for hiding the truth from her.

She was afraid that Kusano Kaoru would harbor resentment.

It will affect the relationship between sisters!

"Oh? Who is it?"

Inspector Megure asked instinctively.

"Yue Yexue!"

Jian Xiongdu had gone mad. He had initially regretted his actions after committing the crime, so he chose to turn himself in.

However, Kusano Kaoru's ruthless attitude towards him fueled his resentment and drove him to hysteria. Now, he's like a mad dog, wanting to drag as many people as possible down with him!

"This woman likes Kenzaki Osamu. After she found out that Kaoru and Kenzaki Osamu were getting married, she thought the same thing as me, Officer. Actually, I installed surveillance cameras in the corridor. The footage can prove that the peeping tom who has been harassing Kaoru recently was her in disguise!"

"Is that right?"

Inspector Megure looked at Yuki Takeno.

"That's right——"

Yue Yexue nodded, about to confess her crime, when she felt a soft little hand pull her hand, and Xiao Xun's voice came from her ear again, "That's right, Sister Xue is indeed the one who pretended to be a peeping tom, but I asked her to do it!"

"what?!"

Inspector Megure was somewhat dumbfounded:

"Why is this again?"

"Of course, it's to test Xiong Du's feelings for me, to see if he'll protect me if I'm in danger—"

Kusano Kaoru said calmly, her beautiful eyes gazing at him:

"Although testing someone's heart is a stupid thing to do, women sometimes do stupid things. Sister Xue loves me, so she goes along with my nonsense~"

"Brother Xia Ye?"

Inspector Megure looked at Natsume, seeking his opinion.

"Inspector Megure, what's there to be so conflicted about?"

Xia Ye smiled slightly; persuading Inspector Megure would be far too easy.

"Don't even mention that Miss Xiao Xun said it was something they planned together. Even if Miss Yue Yexue had some ideas, she didn't do anything yet, unlike Mr. Jian Xiong Du, who has already taken action. But having ideas isn't a crime, is it?"

"You're right."

Who is Inspector Megure?

That's because of those useless Japanese police officers who can even rule off-duty murder cases as suicides!

He couldn't be bothered with Yueye Xue's current situation. Nothing had happened anyway, and even Kusano Kaoru, the person involved, didn't care. Why should he care?

"so be it!"

Inspector Megure waved his hand, signaling to take Atsushi Mama away:

"Close the team!"

"Yes!"

...

After seeing Inspector Megure off.

The eyes of all the girls in the Earth Ladies Team fell on Kenzaki Osamu.

Kenzaki Osamu gave a wry smile.

He never expected that Yueye Xue would like him, and that she would even try to hurt A Xun because of his fake engagement with her!

"Ah Xue, I..."

"Kenzaki, don't worry about it~"

Yue Yexue's pretty face remained calm as she said indifferently:

"I did like you before, but I don't have any feelings for you right now. It's better to be upfront now to avoid any misunderstandings later!"

"what?"

Kenzaki Osamu was dumbfounded.

What's happening here?

Why do I feel like I've become the loser?

"I see..."

Kenzaki Osamu nodded helplessly. Things had already developed to this point, so whatever Yuki said would be the truth, except—

He subconsciously looked at Hoshino Terumi again.

Hoshino Terumi's eyes were cold and clear. She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said indifferently, "Since Yuki-nee has already made things clear, I'll be frank with you too. Actually, I also have someone I like. Kenzaki, don't waste your time on me!"

"..."

Kenzaki felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

Why is it that when it was Kenjiro who committed the crime, I was the one who got hurt?

"I understand!"

Now that things have come to this, Kenzaki Osamu has no other choice.

One person who likes me and another person I like have both drawn clear lines in my relationships with me!

What else can we do?

We have no choice but to accept it!

However, despite accepting the offer, Kenzaki Osamu still took his leave, preparing to go home and snuggle into bed to while away this night filled with overwhelming sadness.

...

Back in the living room, Kusano Kaoru blinked and looked at her older sisters:

"Isn't this going too far for Kenzaki-san?"

"That's true to some extent."

Hoshino Terumi, who had stabbed the most viciously, shook her head and said:

"However, when it comes to matters of the heart, it's best to cut things cleanly and clearly. If you can talk things out clearly, you can still be friends. If misunderstandings accumulate, things like what happened today will happen!"

"Sister Huimei..."

Kusano Kaoru stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly:

"I already know I was wrong. Next time, I will definitely discuss things with you first and I won't do anything like this to test people's hearts!"

"As long as you know!"

Yoko gently tapped her forehead and softly scolded her:

"Look at the impact this has had! If it weren't for Xia Ye, you'd be dead. Let's see if you dare to do it again next time!"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"

Kusano Kaoru's pretty face turned pale. Thinking back to the images of her short life flashing through her mind as she lay dying, she felt a lingering fear and said:

"I really won't do it again!"

"Yoko!"

Yueye Xue nudged Yangzi, then looked at Kusano Kaoru, her pretty face showing a complex mix of emotions:

"Xiao Xun, what Xiong Du said just now is all—"

"Oh dear, I'm starting to feel hungry!"

Kusano Kaoru pretended not to hear Takeno Yuki's words and, holding Yoko's hand, said coquettishly:

"Yoko, aren't you always teaching other people how to cook on TV variety shows? Now that Kenjiro has been taken away, there's no one to cook. Hurry up and cook for me, I'm starving!"

"Okay, okay~"

Yoko gave her a loving, sidelong glance.

"I'll make it for you right away!"

"Thank you, Yoko!"

Kusano Kaoru chuckled, then turned to look at Natsume, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of apology:

"I'm so sorry, Xia Ye. Yangzi brought you here to have fun today, but I've caused you so much trouble!"

You don't need to worry about these things~

Xia Ye waved her hand and smiled, saying:

"You're all Yoko's good friends, so given my relationship with Yoko, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me."

"I understand!" Kusano Kaoru nodded obediently, then leaned closer to Natsume and asked mysteriously:

"Xia Ye, can you tell me how far you and Yang Zi have progressed?"

"Which step?" Xia Ye was slightly taken aback, glanced at Yangzi, and a mischievous smile curled at the corner of her lips:

"Of course, the final step has been completed!"

"Wow!"

Kusano Kaoru's eyes were ambiguous: "I didn't realize that when the group disbanded, I thought Terumi-nee would get a boyfriend first. I didn't expect Yoko, who was focused on her career, to beat her to it. Tsk tsk, a pure and innocent idol girl—Ouch, ouch ouch ouch!"

She treated Yoko as if she didn't exist.

Naturally, he was immediately punished by Yoko.

Yoko grabbed his ear and scolded him with a laugh: "You brat, you're the only one in the whole group who's always daydreaming about love. You even fantasized about dating a fan. Back when nothing happened, it was because Hui Mei and Xue Jie were always keeping an eye on you. Otherwise, you would have been dating back when you were an idol. And now you're criticizing me!"

"is it?"

Xia Ye teased from the side:

"Back then, your Earth Ladies Team was the most popular girl idol group, with countless gay men across the country. If it were revealed that a member was dating, it would cause a sensation!"

"But I don't have it!"

Kusano Kaoru pouted. She and Yoko were both seventeen back then, in the prime of their adolescence. It was perfectly normal to yearn for sweet romance. But later, the group became incredibly popular, with announcements and gigs coming up all the time. Where would they find the time or energy to date...?

"Okay, come with me to cook!"

Yoko pulled Kaoru Kusano's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

Although Kusano Kaoru feigned reluctance on her pretty face, her feet betrayed her, and she obediently followed her.

"Xiao Xun..."

Yueye Xue looked helplessly at Kusano Kaoru's retreating figure.

I was originally going to formally apologize to Xiaoxun, but she didn't give me the chance at all. From changing the subject at the beginning to walking away now, she clearly wasn't going to listen to my apology. This is really suffocating me!

You don't need to worry about it—

Xia Ye smiled and advised, "Miss Xiao Xun has already let this matter go. If you keep taking it to heart, wouldn't you be letting her down? In short, let's forget about the unpleasantness and just get along as before."

"Yes, Xue!"

Hoshino Terumi, who was left in the living room, chimed in, "Let bygones be bygones. Kaoru is your closest friend in the group. She doesn't want you to apologize because she doesn't want you to feel guilty. Just let her be!"
