Chapter 879: Sera Masumi’s mother?
Chapter 879 Sera Masumi’s mother?
When Yuya and Miyano Shiho returned to the tent, they were the only two left.
The children were also sent to the hospital for a physical examination. After that, they will go to the police station to record their statements. After that, they will be sent home by the Gunma Prefecture police, so Youye doesn't need to worry about it.
Masumi Sera also left, saying that she had something urgent to do and had to return to Tokyo first.
The originally lively camping scene suddenly became deserted. They couldn't leave Conan alone here.
Even if Conan turns back into Kudo Shinichi, he cannot show up. There are other people in the camp, and there might be someone who knows him. If the news gets out, it will be troublesome.
After a simple meal, Yuya and Miyano Shiho sat shoulder to shoulder in front of the campfire to rest, watching the flames dance quietly and listening to the crackling sounds of the firewood from time to time.
The two of them chatted casually to kill time, and when the moon was high in the sky, they couldn't resist their sleepiness and crawled into the tent to sleep.

late at night.
Mao Lilan was awakened by the urge to pee. She got up and was about to go to the bathroom when she suddenly heard a strange noise.
"There is a noise in the office. Could it be a thief?" Mao Lilan clenched her fists nervously, opened the door carefully, went downstairs quietly, and then leaned close to the door of the office and listened for a while.
There was no movement inside.
"Is it an illusion?" Mao Lilan patted her head, thinking that she might have fallen into a daze from sleeping, so she turned around and went back upstairs.
As the door was locked, a faint light appeared in the office.
The new computer that Kogoro Mouri had just bought not long ago suddenly lit up. In the darkness, a hand reached for the mouse, and then the mailbox was opened.
"It has been sent..." A somewhat low voice sounded in the darkness, and it sounded like a man's voice.
Under the faint fluorescent light of the computer screen, a wheat-colored face was revealed.
Toru Amuro didn't know why he secretly came to check Kogoro Mori's emails in the middle of the night. They were just some photos taken while camping.
But when he saw the video in the email, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Why is he there?" Amuro stared at the screen. Although Kudo Shinichi in the video was wearing a hood, Amuro recognized him at a glance. After all, this high school detective was already very famous. When he was investigating Yuya's information, he would naturally learn about this childhood friend.
He is a young man with a strong sense of justice and reasoning ability that is as good as Yuya's.
But there has been no news from him recently. I only heard a few words from Mao Lilan occasionally. I know that he is still alive and not dead as rumored or on Shirley's list.
I wonder if he has any thoughts of joining the police force in the future?
The background of the picture is a burning wooden house, and Amuro Toru guessed that an accident must have happened.
Amuro Toru continued to scroll the video slowly. Suddenly, he pressed the pause button and zoomed in on a part of the screen.
It was a brass ring, and Toru Amuro recognized it as a ticket for the mysterious train, the Suzuki Express.
"Interesting." The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth curled up.
What is the relationship between this young man and the organization, and why does he appear on Shirley's list of APTX4869 users?
This person is clearly still alive, so why is he shown as dead on the list, and there are signs of modification.
Did she not know, or did she modify it intentionally?
Did Vermouth know about this? After all, she cared a lot about Shirley, and the modification of the list would definitely be hidden from her eyes, and the records could be found in the organization's database.
Kudo Shinichi's disappearance must be closely related to the organization. So, does Yuya, who is a childhood friend and also a famous detective, know the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi?
His intuition told Toru Amuro that Kudo Shinichi's sudden appearance was not a coincidence. He was most likely there to investigate the organization's intelligence, and he just happened to encounter a fire and rescued those children.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message - Please help me find out what happened to the fire in Dongming Mountain.
"It seems that I need to go on the mysterious train that will depart next week. Maybe I will get something unexpected."

An apartment hotel.
In the room, Sera Masumi shouted excitedly: "Mom, what I said is true! I really saw him return to his original appearance!"
The person she was talking to was a young girl sitting at a desk with short wavy golden hair. Her face was blocked by the shadow and could not be seen clearly. Judging from her figure, she seemed to be a junior high school student.
She is a little bigger than Conan, probably a junior high school student. She doesn't feel uncomfortable at all when being called "Mom" by the high school student Sera Masumi, but instead acts as if it's a matter of course.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" The girl coughed a few times and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
Sera Masumi paused and said, "No... it was a video taken by the child he rescued from the fire, but I am sure it was him."
The girl coughed a few more times, and covered her mouth with the back of her hand, saying, "So, there is indeed an antidote? But who gave it to him? Was there anyone else present at the time?"
"Except those children, there was no one else." Sera Masumi shook his head and recounted the situation in detail.
"I see..." The girl pondered for a moment, "That is to say, he and the other three children were trapped in the wooden house and couldn't get out. According to the children, he suddenly appeared and used an axe to break the iron chain on the wooden door and rescued them?"
Sera Masumi nodded.
"In that case, the antidote must have been with him from the beginning. Otherwise, there is no explanation for his sudden appearance."
Shira Masumi clenched her fists excitedly: "Mom, what you mean is that he really has the antidote?"
Being called mother, the girl showed no unusual reaction and said with certainty, "There must be an antidote, but...if I'm not mistaken, the antidote is probably only temporary. You saw that the child appeared again."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over Sera Masumi's head. She said blankly, "Just, temporary?"
The girl didn't say anything, but just sighed softly.
"Even if it's only temporary, once we get the antidote, Mom will be able to return to her original appearance!" Masumi Sera was unwilling to give up and asked with his fists clenched.
"No," the girl said in a deep voice, "the antidote is not important. What's important is the person who made the antidote."
Sera Masumi scratched his head in annoyance: "But I don't know who made it."
The girl raised her head, and her green eyes flashed with a strange light in the shadows: "Kamiya Yuya, he must know."
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, and recalling how Yuya and Miyano Shiho left in a hurry, his thoughts suddenly became flexible.
"No, it's not just him. I'm afraid his girlfriend knows about it too."
Hearing this, the girl's eyes instantly became sharp.
"Majun, go investigate that girl named Amakura Mio."
Sera Masumi:? !
(I have a cold, so my thoughts are a bit blocked. I owe you a chapter first, and I’m thinking about how to write the train chapter.)
