Chapter 980: Sera Masumi's Residence
Yuu didn't tell anyone about the fact that the blonde girl looked like Haibara Ai, and he had no way to tell anyone.
Otherwise how could he explain who Haibara Ai was?
From another perspective, the blonde girl looks a bit like Sera Masumi and a bit like Haibara Ai, but Sera Masumi doesn't look very much like Miyano Shiho.
Is it just a coincidence?
Even more outrageous are Kudo Shinichi and Kaito Kid, these two can almost be said to be printed from the same mold.
But there is no way to verify this matter, and it is impossible for Yuya to let Miyano Shiho take medicine to become smaller just because of a guess. What's more, there is no point in becoming smaller.
In addition, Masumi Sera said that her family consists of three siblings, two brothers and one sister. Her father has passed away, leaving only her mother in the United States.
So, who is that little girl?
Could it be an illegitimate daughter?
Suddenly, a ridiculous guess flashed through Yuya's mind - could it be that Sera Masumi's mother also took APTX4869 and turned into a child? That's why she and Sera Masumi look alike.
Since there are two successful cases of Conan and Haibara Ai, it is not impossible to have one more.
Youya secretly buried this guess in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to confirm it one day.
And this opportunity seems to come a little faster than expected.
···
After finishing a day's classes, Yuya and his friends were walking on the way home.
Suzuki Sonoko was still chattering about what happened to the woman in red yesterday, with a lingering fear on her face.
"If Inspector Yamato and Inspector Morobushi hadn't rushed over, who knows what would have happened."
Sera Masumi said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if they don't arrive in time. I think I can easily suppress them with my skills."
"Not to mention Kamiya-san is here, his karate is much better than mine!..."
As they spoke, everyone subconsciously turned around to look at Yuya, and their faces were immediately filled with black lines on their foreheads - that guy was actually yawning while leaning on Miyano Shiho's shoulder, and his walking was completely uncorrected.
The latter didn't care at all. Instead, he held him with a doting look on his face to prevent him from falling accidentally.
Sera Masumi was silent for a moment. She didn't expect that Kamiya, who was usually very reliable, would become so lazy once school days came - that's right, Yuya has been in a sleepy state since morning until now.
In his words, attending classes is completely meaningless to him. If going to school wasn't about learning not only classes but also social skills, he wouldn't go to school at all.
Mao Lilan coughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "By the way, is Sera's mother still in the United States?"
Sera Masumi smiled and nodded: "Yes, so after I returned to Neon, I had to live alone in a hotel. I originally wanted to go to my brother who was the second oldest in the family, but was ruthlessly rejected, hahahaha!"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled mischievously and said, "But, living in a hotel all the time, does that mean that Sera is actually the daughter of some hidden wealthy family?"
Sera Masumi laughed out loud: "No, it's because my father has a friend who has always taken good care of us. He is a rich man, but of course he can't compare to the Sonoko family."
Suzuki Sonoko concealed her embarrassment with a smile. I'm afraid there's no one in Japan who can compare to Suzuki's.
Sera Masumi put one hand behind his head, looked up, and said quietly, "I can't think of any other relatives I can turn to, so I made up my mind to repay that person in the future."
Hearing this, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko showed a slightly regretful expression.
Conan and Yuya pondered for a moment.
Apart from her mother and two brothers, she has no other relatives to rely on, so who is that blonde girl in the photo?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Masumi Sera is hiding something.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said excitedly: "Hey, is your hotel nearby?"
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment: "It's not far."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Can we go over and take a look?"
Mao Lilan also said with anticipation: "I also want to see where Sera lives!"
Sera Masumi thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem." Then he took out his phone and said, "Then I'll send an email to my second brother. I originally had an appointment to meet him."
Mao Lilan heard this and quickly said, "Why don't we wait until next time?"
Sera Masumi smiled and said, "It's okay. I was the one who used the incident with the woman in red to force him to meet me!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and quickly edited the email.
···
Everyone followed Masumi Sera to the building where she currently lived.
Mao Lilan looked at the number of floors on the control panel and exclaimed, "This is amazing! This hotel actually has fifty floors!"
Suzuki Sonoko said disdainfully: "That's not even as high as our Suzuki Tower!"
Everyone was speechless, as if no family was richer than the Suzuki family, and no building was taller than the Suzuki Tower. After all, it was the tallest building in Neon.
You also casually said: "But the rent for a hotel like this must be expensive, right?"
Masumi Sera smiled and said, "It's okay, I have help from my father's friends, and I don't live here forever..."
"Oh? Do you change places often?" Youye keenly grasped the key words in her words.
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, realizing that he seemed to have let something slip, and said with a smile: "Well, since we are staying in a hotel, of course we have to experience different accommodations!"
This reason was reasonable, but Yuya's intuition told him that she was not telling the truth.
Interesting, it seems that Shuichi Akai's sister seems to be hiding other secrets.
Did she return to Neon simply because she missed this place?
With a ding, the elevator stopped on the 30th floor.
As soon as everyone walked out of the elevator, they saw several people standing or sitting in the corridor.
After a pause, everyone continued to move forward.
Suzuki Sonoko carefully glanced behind her and asked suspiciously, "What do these gangster-like uncles do?"
Hearing the word "gangster", Youya subconsciously looked back, but did not see any gang logo on them.
Sera Masumi laughed: "No, they are waiting for the plaintiff of a novelist who is in seclusion in this hotel. I remember his name is..."
"Kaoru Kyōgo!"
Everyone was stunned and turned around to look, and found that there was a bald uncle standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.
