Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

After the second round of auditions, the staff of "Fangyou" informed everyone to wait where they were, and that the results would be available soon.

An hour later, the middle-aged staff member announced that the three male actors who were finally selected were: Kato, Mukai, and Tokuda!

Yuzuru Masahiro was startled. He wasn't there. Had he guessed wrong? The yoga instructor wasn't Takizawa Reika!

However, he has already obtained the Strong Punch chewing gum from Matsui, and based on the three pieces of information, it should point to Fangyou Studio.

Tokuda crossed his arms over his chest, looking extremely excited. If the videotapes of yoga instructors acting as stunt doubles sell so well, the prospects for showing his face in film are unimaginable.

Whoever is fortunate enough to participate will have a bright future, and now he may have that opportunity!

Matsui's manager stood up and hugged Kato and Mukai to congratulate them, before remembering Masahiro Hanyu.

He walked over and gently patted Yuzuru on the shoulder. "Thanks to you this time."

"Don't worry, if there's no opportunity with Assistant Tanaka, you can come to me."

Kato also came over. "Yes, when we need multiple people to participate, I can bring you along."

As the group was talking, the middle-aged staff member from "Fangyou" came over and said, "Hello, Mr. Yuzuru! The female lead in our script values ​​you very much."

"She wants to meet with you alone to discuss our cooperation plans directly. Would you mind coming with me to see her?"

Matsui's manager looked delighted: "Congratulations, Yuzuru-kun! This means the female lead is interested in working with you long-term! Once the collaboration is finalized, you'll be the male lead if other scripts come along."

Masahiro Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief; it was now confirmed that the yoga instructor was Reika Takizawa.

She wanted to talk to him privately so as not to affect the filming of this script.

As Masahiro Hanyu was about to leave, Tokuda called him back, took his hand, and whispered, "To execute any difficult move, you need to master the rhythm."

"Remember, rhythm! This is based on decades of my experience."

Masahiro Hanyu replied solemnly, "Thank you, senpai! I've got it, rhythm!"

He left the warehouse with the staff of "Fangyou", got into a van, and left "the street of film studios".

The car stopped after about twenty minutes. The middle-aged staff member said politely, "Room 203, please go there yourself. We won't get involved in the details."

Masahiro Hanyu got out of the car and was greeted by a Gothic-style castle with a pointed roof. It had gray walls, vertical windows, and a sign that read "Hotel Romance" hanging at the entrance.

This was a love hotel. As Masahiro Hanyu was observing, the car from the "Fangyou" studio quietly drove away.

He entered the hotel and went to room 203. Just as he raised his hand to knock, the door opened by itself, and Takizawa Reika stood inside.

She must have redone her makeup; she looks even more radiant now.

Her outfit was also different from the morning's: a white cropped tube top and knee-length yoga shorts, showing off her fit and healthy figure.

Upon seeing Masahiro Hanyu, Reika Takizawa's expression remained expressionless. "I remember you, Masahiro Hanyu of the Shin-gi Detective Agency. Please come in."

Reika Takizawa turned to the side, and Masahiro Hanyu walked past her, the faint sweet fragrance mixed with the scent of mugwort filling her nostrils.

The room's decor caught Masahiro Hanyu's eye; it wasn't the kind of glamorous pink lighting, but rather a cool, soft pale blue light.

With light gray walls, white non-slip yoga mats covering the floor, and a full-length mirror on one wall, this is surprisingly the interior design of a yoga studio.

There is no waterbed, but foldable tatami mats, and a ceramic incense burner in the corner, burning mugwort.

After closing the door, Takizawa Reika said, "Hanyu-kun, this place looks a lot like my old yoga studio. Does it feel familiar to you?"

Masahiro Yuzuru sat cross-legged on the ground. Influenced by his habits from his previous life, he did not usually like to kneel.

"Director Takizawa, you never invited me into the yoga studio in the NS Building."

Reika Takizawa slowly knelt down opposite Masahiro Hanyu, only an arm's length away from him.

"Therefore, today I ask Mr. Yuzuru to make up for the regret."

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, making her figure appear even more athletic.

This was the first time Masahiro Hanyu had seen Reika Takizawa so closely.

Her skin was slightly dark but smooth and delicate, her features were three-dimensional, and her eyes were deep. Due to her long-term yoga practice, she had a youthful and energetic temperament.

The beautiful woman the original owner once tried to flirt with is now preparing to enter the adult film industry!

Is it a pity? Masahiro Hanyu doesn't think so!

He respects her career choice, since being a female entertainer is a legitimate profession in Tokyo.

His fingers gently flicked his sleeve, revealing a wired microphone hidden inside, connected to a thin, matchbox-sized recorder at his waist—equipment for close-range evidence collection.

"So, after the yoga studio closed, filming AVs at Fangyou Studio was what Director Takizawa did for the past two months?"

Reika Takizawa sized up Masahiro Hanyu in front of her. She had noticed this young man when she was at the NS Building.

I know he works at the neighboring "Xinyi Detective Agency" as an clerk, not a detective.

This young man deliberately approached her, but she consistently rejected him. He was just a clerk at a detective agency, with no future prospects; she had no interest in associating with him.

She didn't answer Masahiro Hanyu's question, but instead said:

"Hanyu-kun isn't a detective, so why are you following me?"

"How did you find me? Did you deliberately make so many auditionees say NS?"

"Were you lip-syncing to the surname Yayoi in front of the camera?"

Masahiro Hanyu calmly answered in turn:

"I'm now accepting investigative commissions; I'm doing detective work."

"The main way I found Director Takizawa was through surveillance. Everyone who auditioned said that I was the one who brought NS to them."

"I mouthed the surname Yayoi."

"I have answered Director Takizawa's question. Now, please answer mine."

Once Takizawa Reika formally replies and acknowledges her profession, this investigation commission can be completed.

Reika Takizawa still didn't answer, but instead pressed on, "Was it my mother, Mrs. Yayoi, who commissioned the investigation?"

Masahiro Yuzuru nodded slightly. "Yes, Mrs. Yayoi knows that the yoga studio has closed down, but you still go out every day, and in the last two months you've been bringing home more and more money."

Takizawa Reika sighed softly, "Mom's eyes are diseased and need treatment, but it's so hard to make money these days."

"Shooting adult videos is the easiest way to make money as a legitimate job. My mother's eyesight isn't good, but she wants to do it. How can I bear to see her like this?"

"Although she worked in filming for a while when she was young and has some experience, she is now getting old and her eyesight is not good."

"I'm younger than her, and I can do extreme moves that others can't."

Takizawa Reika's words shocked Yuzuru Masahiro. It turned out that Mrs. Yayoi was a senior in this industry, and Takizawa Reika was going to follow in her mother's footsteps.

To gather evidence, he asked again, "So, Director Takizawa, you've been filming adult videos for the past two months, is that right?"
