Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Upon arriving at the apartment where the party was being held, Yoko Okino, wanting to surprise everyone, specially asked Kogoro Mouri to ring the doorbell.

But after pressing the doorbell several times, no one came to open the door.

Why is no one answering the door?

“This…” Yoko Okino frowned, “Everyone should be here by now.”

Conan smirked: "Could something have happened?"

Everyone looked at him, but Kudo Kazuma, who was completely unaware of the spirit's presence, shrugged: "Don't talk nonsense. I think the door doesn't look like it's closed properly. Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri slowly pushed open the door, only to be hit on the head with a tennis racket...

"Plop" sound.

Caught off guard, Kogoro Mouri landed squarely on his backside, and the tennis racket that the girl had hit on his head, now torn from the net, ended up around his neck...

To be honest, the girl has amazing arm strength!

Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but glance at Conan.

Look at Kogoro Mouri, then look at Conan.

If his brother's head were as hard as his father-in-law's, would he be Conan now?

The person who hit Kogoro Mouri with a tennis racket was none other than the leading lady of tonight's engagement party, Kaoru Kusano, who is an idol star like Yoko Okino.

Kaoru Kusano repeatedly apologized to Kogoro Mouri: "I'm so sorry, there have been too many peeping toms lately. Every time I looked through the keyhole, I only saw men I didn't recognize, which is why I misunderstood you, Mr. Mouri. I'm so sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but purse his lips. He turned his head and met Conan's crescent-shaped eyes.

He simply took two steps back, squatted down next to Conan, and whispered, "What are your thoughts?"

Conan lowered his voice and said, "If she wants to see Ran's father, she should at least know what he looks like, right? What do you think? Does something seem off?"

Kogoro Mouri is always in the newspapers and on TV. He's also the idol of Yoko Okino, a friend of Kaoru Kusano. How could she not know him?

Kudo Kazuma pursed his lips and said softly, "Of course it's wrong. Knowing there's a peeping tom outside, she didn't even close the door. Is that reasonable?"

While the two brothers were quietly complaining, Ran was also chatting with Kaoru Kusano.

According to Kusano Kaoru, she and Kenzaki Osamu will not get married until next spring; they are only engaged now.

"By the way, Ms. Kusano, didn't you co-star with Mr. Kenzaki in Detective Samonji?"

“That’s right.” Another girl pushed the door open and walked in. “I was just planning to send everyone my blessings when that scene airs tonight, and at the same time, tease you two sweet little couple a bit.”

Upon seeing the other person, Xiaolan's eyes lit up: "Wow! It's Yueye Xue!"

Kenzaki Osamu immediately noticed Yukino Yuki's manicure: "Yuki, why did you get such a flashy manicure again?"

Yue Yexue raised her hand and carefully admired her manicure: "Hmm, this manicure feels pretty good."

Seeing these people, Kogoro Mouri was both surprised and regretful: "What a pity, Yoko Okino, Kaoru Kusano, and Yuki Takeno are here. If only one more of them were here..."

Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Why have another one?

Should we include a deceased person and then choose one of three?

Do you look down on Kenzaki Osamu?

"Oh? Who's calling me?"

A cool-looking woman with a low ponytail, smoking a cigarette, leaned against the door frame and blocked the door with her foot.

Kogoro Mouri was immediately overjoyed, as if he had won the lottery.

Kaoru Kusano then spoke up, "Hikaru-nee, you're here too?"

"Yoko called me, so of course I had to come no matter what. If it's inconvenient, I'll just leave."

As she said this, her gaze lingered on Kudo Kazuma's face for a moment. Although it was just a fleeting glance, it still left Kudo Kazuma completely bewildered.

Yoko Okino quickly stepped forward and grabbed her: "It wasn't easy for the four of us from the Earth Ladies Team to get together, how could we bear to let you leave?"

Kazuma Kudo and Conan spoke in unison: "Earth Ladies Team?"

"Hmph, you kids don't know that, do they?"

Kogoro Mouri said smugly, "Kaoru Kusano represents the lush grassland, Yuki Takeno represents the snow covering the mountains, Terumi Hoshino represents the twinkling stars in the night sky, and Yoko Okino represents the shimmering blue sea."

"Those four girls were the once wildly popular Earth Ladies Team!"

Kazuma Kudo nodded repeatedly, understanding. This was a girl group member going solo.

Yueye Xue said, "However, after Huimei and A Xun had a falling out, our Earth Ladies Team disbanded immediately. Now, only Yoko is still singing."

Yoko Okino laughed and said, "What I didn't expect was that our youngest member, Kaoru, would be the first to plan to get married."

"I didn't expect it either. I thought that Hui-jie would be the first one to have a relationship with me."

"That's true, Hui Mei. Don't you have someone you like?"

"Yeah, yeah, how are things going between you and that person?"

Listening to the concern of her three former friends, Hoshino Terumi glanced at Kudo Kazuma again, then closed her eyes and said, "Nothing happened between us at all."

"Besides, rather than getting married so early and stepping into the grave of life, I'd rather experience the feeling of unrequited love from afar... That way, my beautiful dream won't be shattered one day."

Kusano Kaoru, who was about to "step into the grave of life," immediately changed her expression: "Hikaru-nee, what do you mean by that?"

Conan tugged at Kudo Kazuma's sleeve, and after Kudo Kazuma leaned close, he whispered, "That Hoshino Terumi has been spying on you several times... I'm saying, could her crush be you?"

Kudo Kazuma was speechless: "You're even more ridiculous than me. We've never even met, and you're calling her your sweetheart? Are you kidding me? Why don't you just say her sweetheart is you... ugh—"

At this point, he suddenly gasped.

If he remembers correctly, there was a celebrity who had a crush on Shinichi Kudo.

Could this celebrity be Terumi Hoshino?

Thinking about it this way, his gaze towards Hoshino Terumi became quite subtle.

This older sister... must be at least four, five, six, or seven years older than her brother, right?

Is this all okay?

Hoshino Terumi neither explained to Kusano Kaoru nor revealed who her crush was. Instead, she glanced at Kudo Kazuma again before turning her gaze to Mouri Kogoro.

"By the way, who is this middle-aged man who brought the child?"

“Oh yeah,” Yukino Yuki said curiously, “Could it be Kenzaki’s brother?”

Seeing Kogoro Mouri looking injured, Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but find it amusing—it was quite amusing that Kogoro Mouri, who was known to everyone in the world, was now completely unknown here.

How could he let Hoshino Terumi, who was not very polite, know that the middle-aged man with the child was the father-in-law of her crush?
