Chapter 769: Mao Lilan: This Sera Masumi is so suspicious!
On the way to the office, they accidentally met Yuya and Miyano Shiho who were carrying shopping bags.
"Ran, Sonoko, and..." Youya looked Sera Masumi up and down, "Is this Sera-san? You're wearing a school uniform. Have you registered at school?"
"Yes, Kamiya-san, long time no see." Sera Masumi greeted with a smile.
You was stunned for a moment, and said speechlessly: "Didn't we just meet a few days ago... Where are you going?"
Mao Lilan explained: "Sera heard that my house is a detective agency, and she was curious so she wanted to take a look." She paused and added, "She also heard that Conan was staying at my house."
"Is that so?" Youya smiled, "Then Mio and I will leave first."
Sera Masumi invited, "Kamiya-san, do you want to go and take a look together?"
Yuya waved his hand to refuse: "Forget it, I have been watching the Maori Detective Agency for more than ten years. It's not interesting. Let's go."
After saying that, he left with Miyano Shiho.
Masumi Sera looked at Yuya's receding back, narrowed his eyes, and put on a smile again: "Then Mori-san, shall we go quickly?"
"Ah? Okay..." Mao Lilan felt a little disappointed. From the look on her face just now, didn't You understand what she meant?
Yuya and Miyano Shiho walked forward for a while, and suddenly stopped after turning a corner.
Miyano Shiho looked back in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Youya handed over the shopping bag: "You go home first, I'm going to check out the office."
Miyano Shiho was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Yuya frowned slightly: "That Sera Masumi is really coming for Conan..."
Of course he understood the hidden meaning in Mouri Ran's words, but her level of secret code was a bit low, and Sera Masumi probably also heard it.
I have observed Conan at the crime scene more than once before. Fortunately, Yu was there, and Conan was already very skilled in playing the role of a child, so he should not have been discovered to have any flaws at the time.
But now, she has just transferred to the school and officially met Mao Lilan, but she can't wait to go to the office, which is somewhat intriguing.
Miyano Shiho was stunned and showed a nervous expression: "Could it be that she..."
"I'm not sure yet," Youya shook his head, "I just happened to have some stuff at the office, so I'll go over and take a look at the situation."
Miyano Shiho nodded and warned: "Then be careful."
"rest assured."
···
On the other side, Sera Masumi was disappointed to see that Conan was really not at home.
The little brats from the Junior Detective League are going camping tomorrow, so Conan, Genta and the others will stay overnight at Dr. Agasa's friend's house.
"It's so infuriating. How unfortunate!" Sera Masumi slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"Who is this girl?" Kogoro Mouri pointed at Masumi Sera and asked his daughter in confusion.
Mao Lilan introduced: "This is the new student Sera who came today. She said she is a detective."
"Oh?" Maori Kogoro said with a smile, as if he had seen something rare. "A female high school detective! In that case, you should know me, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, right?"
"Of course," Sera Masumi replied with a smile, "It's the sleeping Kogoro. If you search for detective-related news on the Japanese Internet, your name will be the second one!"
"Second?" Maori Kogoro asked dissatisfiedly, "I am only ranked second? Then who is the first?"
Masumi Sera put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "Of course it's the male high school detective with a 100% case-solving rate, Kamiya Yuya!"
Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That damn boy is more famous than me..."
Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly on the side - your fame was earned by Conan.
Masumi Sera: "I heard that you seem to have solved a lot of difficult cases, right?"
Maori Kogoro immediately showed a proud expression: "That's right."
Sera Masumi revealed a mysterious smile: "But every time you solve a case, Edogawa Conan is always by your side, right?"
Mao Lilan's heart couldn't help but jump, and she looked at Sera Masumi nervously, and at the same time her doubts deepened.
The latter didn't notice and was still talking to Maori Kogoro.
Maori Kogoro was stunned when he heard this, and was a little at a loss: "It seems to be like this..."
Sera Masumi wanted to ask something, but Mao Lilan quickly interrupted and said, "How about this, you can ask my father to tell you something about the case!"
"Right, Dad?"
Kogoro Mouri smiled awkwardly - in fact, although he had read the case files afterwards, he had almost forgotten them. After all, they were not the cases he solved personally.
Sera Masumi seemed to have noticed something, and said with a sigh: "As a detective, I really want to hear it, but let's forget it today. I'll come and ask you for advice when Conan is here~" Then he picked up his schoolbag and looked like he was about to leave.
Mao Lilan showed a slightly regretful expression, but her doubts deepened.
Ever since Vermouth pretended to be Tomoaki Aida, Ran Mouri has learned about the ability to disguise oneself, which only exists in movies and TV dramas.
You really can’t tell just by looking at their body shape, after all, some adults look like elementary school students.
So, even if Sera Masumi's face does look like that of a 17 or 18-year-old high school girl, who knows if that face is real? She can't rashly pull someone's face, because the real face underneath might be that of an old lady in her 30s!
Especially when the other party is obviously coming for Conan, someone like Mouri Kogoro doesn't know Conan's identity and may just think that he is looking for someone to play with, but Mouri Ran has to doubt.
"Then I'll leave first. See you next time." Sera Masumi said hello and turned around to leave.
Just then, the door of the office was opened and three women blocked the door.
The fat woman standing on the right said, "How about this, please tell us the details of the case."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro and the other two looked at the three people at the door with some surprise.
The three of them walked in, and the fat woman introduced herself: "My name is Mitsui Jusen, and the three of us are amateur mystery writers."
The short woman in the middle said, "We also met online."
The tall woman on the far left said, "I came here because I heard that I could listen to Detective Maori's story today." She saw Maori Kogoro's surprised look and asked in confusion, "Didn't Zeli tell you about this?"
Maori Kogoro was completely confused: ???
