Chapter 981: 3 years starting point, maximum death penalty
Seeing everyone's confused, surprised or scrutinizing looks, Huo Pu Jingwu also realized that he was too rash, and introduced himself with a smile: "I am a romance novelist."
Before the others could react, Mao Lilan had already walked up to him happily and said, "I have read the books written by the teacher, and my favorite one now is Telephone: The Sea and Me."
Mao Lilan is indeed an expert in star chasing. She can recognize any celebrity, whether they are famous or not, or writers.
Seeing that someone liked his work, Huo Pu Jingwu was also very happy: "Thank you so much."
After a brief chat, Youye and the others said goodbye and left. From a distance, they could still hear him shouting into the room, saying that the dishes could be placed anywhere. He must be talking to the waiter.
The room that Masumi Sera rented was not small. The living room alone was bigger than many other rooms in rental houses.
The first thing to do when arriving at a high-rise building is, of course, to go to the balcony to take in the distant view.
A thirty-story building is already very tall, and from a distance, you can see the whole Tokyo.
Yuya propped up his chin and said with interest: "Sonoko, you can still see the Suzuki Tower in your house."
Suzuki Sonoko puffed out her chest and said proudly: "Of course, that's the tallest building in Neon!"
At this time, Sera Masumi's voice came from behind: "No, Conan, this is my room, there are a lot of things in it, it's a mess, you can't go in!"
Conan saw several people chatting on the balcony. He originally wanted to open a room and explore when Sera Masumi wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect her to be so alert and he was discovered before he even opened the door.
The plan failed, Conan could only smile awkwardly: "Is that so."
Sera Masumi bent down and said with a wicked smile, "Of course, if you want to see my underwear thrown around after I change it, I'd welcome it!"
Conan's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled awkwardly: "No, you don't have to be so polite..."
Would anyone invite others to see their discarded underwear? Fortunately, Mao Lilan didn't hear this, otherwise she would have been beaten up when she got home.
The conversation between the two also attracted the attention of the rest of the people. When they walked into the living room, Suzuki Sonoko saw the room service menu on the table at a glance.
She suggested, "Should we order some room service? Like that uncle just now."
"Good idea, I'm a little hungry!"
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
They said they ordered room service, but Suzuki Sonoko ended up ordering a bunch of desserts, which Yuya and Conan got sick of after just two bites.
The two of them huddled in the corner of the sofa, watching the girls chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but lower their eyes - so they originally came to test Sera Masumi, but how did they end up starting a tea party?
Listen to what they are talking about, such as who in the next class is in love, and they thought it was well hidden but in fact everyone knows about it; or the latest romance drama that was released.
Even Miyano Shiho was led astray and joined in.
As the topic was being talked about, it somehow turned to Kyogoku Makoto.
Suzuki Sonoko talked about the scene of their date and some of the clumsy love words that Kyogoku Makoto said, and several girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"It's hard to imagine that such words would come out of the mouth of a karate master!"
Sera Masumi sighed, and suddenly looked at Conan: "Conan, do you have any similar emotional topics?"
"Huh?" Conan was a little confused. Why did it suddenly involve him?
Sera Masumi said meaningfully, "Like, is there a girl you met somewhere before who you can't forget?"
Suddenly, a scrutinizing gaze turned to Conan.
Conan was sweating, and his heart was alarmed. What the hell are you talking about, Sera Masumi? How could I have such a topic?
"I think there shouldn't be any."
Hearing this, Sera Masumi's smile suddenly disappeared and she looked at Conan with dissatisfaction.
Conan was stunned. What was that expression? He must have said something right. There really weren't any girls like that.
As the saying goes, those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are watching from the sidelines can see things clearly. Yuya was watching everything clearly from the sidelines.
He blinked his eyes. What was going on? Why was there this smell of a resentful woman who was abandoned by a scumbag?
It feels like things are getting interesting.
Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows and said with a mischievous smile: "If it's this little brat, he must be obsessed with Ayumi, right?"
Conan was completely stunned. Suzuki Sonoko, what nonsense are you talking about! I admit that Ayumi is very cute, but how could he be fascinated by a little kid?
Sensing Yuya's dangerous gaze, Conan broke out in a sweat: "Sonoko-sister, please stop talking nonsense. That, that's not the case!"
Originally, this topic was nothing serious, and Suzuki Sonoko was just joking, but Conan's explanation made it seem like he was trying to cover up something, which made people wonder if he was just making excuses out of guilt.
Yuya closed his eyes and said in a gloomy tone: "Conan, the minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum sentence is death penalty!"
Conan's eyes widened. What are you talking about? He shouted, "Didn't I tell you?" Yuya, please stop joining in the fun!
The other three people's looks also became strange.
Mao Lilan even lowered her eyes and said: "Conan, I didn't expect you to be such a person." The look in her eyes was as if she was looking at garbage.
Others said it was nothing, but when Mao Lilan said this, Conan was directly sunk, and the whole person turned gray.
Why, weren't you guys just chatting about gossip? Why did it turn into a meeting to denounce Edogawa Conan?
Sera Masumi laughed secretly until her stomach hurt. She glanced at her phone and raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, it's already six o'clock without me noticing."
Mao Lilan stood up immediately after hearing this: "Oh no, I have to go back and prepare dinner!"
Yuya sighed. Damn it, now he has no chance to tease Conan anymore.
Suddenly, he heard a slight sigh in his ear. He turned around in confusion and saw Miyano Shiho looking over there as well.
The two men's eyes met and they saw regret in each other's eyes.
Yuya couldn't help laughing, and Miyano Shiho's lips curled up slightly, and all the tacit understanding was self-evident.
Miyano Shiho looked at the smiling Yuya and suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing.
This question was not answered until Sera Masumi saw them out.
As soon as they arrived at the corridor, they heard a panicked boy saying, "Guest, guest, are you okay?"
Youye turned around suddenly. Judging from the volume of the sound, it should be... downstairs?
Without much hesitation, he ran towards the stairs, and the others quickly followed.
Conan was just about to run when he found that the bag on his back was too heavy and he almost fell down. Seeing that everyone else had disappeared, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, take off his bag, throw it on the ground, and chase after them.
Shortly after everyone left, the door of Sera Masumi's room slowly opened with a creak.
In the darkness, a pair of slender hands slowly stretched out from the room and grabbed the schoolbag on the ground.
