Chapter 767: Why are you wearing a skirt, Sera-san?
Sera Masumi's eyes lit up - Oh! Is this the catchphrase that the famous high school detective with a 100% crime-solving rate in Tokyo always says when he closes a case?
I had seen it on the news before, and this time I heard it live, and I could indeed feel the powerful momentum.
Yuya looked at Hirukawa Riko, whose face had become extremely ugly.
"We only need to test Ms. Zhuchuan's clothes. We should be able to find fibers from the victim's clothes, right?"
"It is impossible for an elderly woman to move a grown man to a wheelchair by herself without lifting him up with force."
"Of course," Youye paused, "If you want to say that it was because the main culprit of the fraud reached a settlement with you and hugged you, that's another matter, but I also have other evidence..."
"Humph," Before Youya could continue speaking, Hirukawa Riko suddenly sneered, "If you want me to tell such a disgusting lie, I would rather confess it honestly now!"
"It was me who did it. I was the one who put that damn guy in a wheelchair and dropped him straight into hell to report!"
After being exposed, Hirukawa Riko was too lazy to continue pretending, or rather, she disdained to pretend, and her expression began to become crazy.
Inspector Megure was a little stunned, and suddenly thought of something: "So, could it be that the rumor about the ghost in the annex was also caused by the purpose of testing this method?"
"No, I didn't do that." Hirukawa Riko shook her head, "It was this man..."
The ghost rumors in the annex were a drama directed and performed by the deceased in order to scare the victims of the fraud who came to ask for an explanation, as well as the media and others who drove away the annex.
The deceased told this to Hirukawa Riko without any awareness, so she came up with the idea of using this method to send the unrepentant mastermind of the fraud to hell.
The murder case ended just like that.
As for the fraud case, the police later found the deceased's secret account and arrested members of the fraud group one after another through the financial transaction records. This gave an explanation to those who were deceived.

The entrance to the Metropolitan Police Department.
When Yuya and his companions finished taking the statements and were about to go back, they were suddenly stopped by Sera Masumi.
She touched the back of her head in embarrassment: "Ah, good, you are indeed the famous detective with a 100% crime-solving rate. I really admire your reasoning ability. Fortunately, you are here this time, otherwise the murderer might have gotten away with it."
"Really?" Yuya smiled, "But I think Sera-san actually saw through that trick, right? But why did you deliberately leave out some parts and make the reasoning wrong?"
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly: "That's disgusting, what are you talking about, Kamiya-san? Those deductions were really all I could figure out at the time."
"I see." Youya smiled noncommittally, "Then Sera-san needs to work harder. After all, if you make the wrong inferences, it may lead to some tragic consequences."
For some reason, Youya thought of Nanatsuki Koshimizu. Her maid friend had made an irreparable mistake because of a detective's wrong reasoning, and even almost caused Nanatsuki Koshimizu herself to fall into the abyss.
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious: "I understand. Thank you very much this time, Kamiya-san."
"Um..." Mao Lilan raised her hand tentatively, "You guys kept calling each other classmates, I don't quite understand..."
Normally, only classmates from the same class or school would yell like that, right? But Sera Masumi wasn't a student at Teitan High School.
"Ah, this..." Sera Masumi smiled mysteriously, "Allow me to keep it a secret for now, but we will meet again soon." After that, he waved and left.
Mao Lilan:?
Conan pulled Yuya's trouser leg and waved, and the latter squatted down and put his ear close to him.
"Yuya, do you think this guy is a little suspicious?" Conan whispered, "When you were reasoning just now, he kept looking at me secretly and didn't listen to your reasoning seriously at all."
Yuya nodded. He naturally realized that this was also the reason why he said that Sera Masumi actually saw through that trick.
But today was only their first meeting, and Youya didn't know who she was, what her purpose was for her sudden appearance, or even whether their meeting was accidental or...
"I don't know, but didn't she say so? We'll see each other soon, and I should know then."
Conan was stunned for a moment: "Wait, why do you keep calling her, isn't this guy a boy?"
Yuya stared, leaning back slightly to look at Conan: "Didn't you see that?"
Conan was full of question marks: "What did you see?"
Yu didn't explain, he just rubbed Conan's head with a smile: "You will know soon."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Conan's forehead went dark.
Yuya didn't answer, but called out, "Mio, let's go home!"
"Good~"
"Hey!" Conan lowered his eyes with dead eyes. What on earth is this Yuya doing?
Conan stroked his chin and thought, could it be that this Sera Masumi...

The next day, Teitan High School, second year, Class B.
Mao Lilan was discussing yesterday's case with Suzuki Sonoko. When talking about Sera Masumi, Mao Lilan pointed her finger at her chin and said thoughtfully: "That person named Sera said that he is also a detective."
Suzuki Sonoko said with empty eyes: "What a crap detective, he probably likes to play detective games just like that little brat Conan. I heard that his reasoning was wrong at that time. If it weren't for Yuya, the case would not have been solved."
Mao Lilan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I also heard about this from Conan. But when he left, he said that we would meet soon. What did he mean by that?"
While the two were wondering, the classroom door suddenly opened.
The homeroom teacher, Mr. Mizuhara, walked in.
"Okay everyone, go back to your seats. Today I'm going to introduce you to a new classmate."
"This is Sera-san who has become a part of our class today."
Next to Mr. Mizuhara stood a girl with short hair, who was none other than Masumi Sera.
Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko widened their eyes and looked at Sera Masumi in shock.
"So classmate means transfer student, but..." The two of them moved their eyes down and landed on Sera Masumi's skirt.
"He, not she, wears a skirt?"
"It's a girl?!"
