Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 228: Sera Masumi's appearance and test (4)

After eating and drinking, everyone came to the living room and started chatting. Yuanzi's amazing intuition was the first to bring up the topic.

"By the way, Sera, I feel like you have some strange similarities with Mr. Ang, who's currently staying at the Kudo residence next door. I heard he also knows Jeet Kune Do...!"

"Oh...? Really? That's quite a coincidence. But I heard that the Kudo residence is the home of the world-renowned mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku, the former famous actress Kudo Yukiko, and the famous Japanese high school detective Kudo Shinichi. Why would they let an outsider stay temporarily..."

Sera Masumi seemed to casually express her doubts, but in fact she had already begun to doubt this person she had heard of for the first time. She did not expect that someone beyond her information would appear.

As for Hua Lantian, he didn't try to hide too much. Anyone interested could find out with a little investigation that he and Conan were close friends...

Speaking of these, especially about Okiya Aoi, the new male god in Sonoko's heart, Sonoko immediately started chattering and told all the information she knew.

Conan was so annoyed that he cursed her in his heart and kept trying to interrupt her to stop her from continuing. In the end, he was suppressed by Sera Masumi and Sonoko.

"I see. Well, after I'm done with my work in the next few days, I'm going to come and see this so-called Toudou University engineering graduate student, Okiya Ao, and see how good his Jeet Kune Do is. I want to have a sparring match...!"

Sera Masumi looked so determined to find someone to practice martial arts with that he startled Sonoko, Ran, and Ayako.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I'm a detective. How could I have forgotten to tell you something so important? It seems like I've been really overwhelmed by all the coincidences today, ahahahaha...!"

She seemed to suddenly think of something, then clasped one hand into the other palm and said.

"Detective...!!! You're so cool! This is the first time I've met a female high school detective besides me! Looks like my Queen of Deduction, Sonoko, will have a rival...!"

Sonoko was shocked again and again. To her, being a detective was a boring profession, but being a female high school detective was something she envied. However, considering she was the queen of reasoning, Sonoko naturally wouldn't envy others that much...

"The Queen of Mysteries, Sonoko...? Sonoko, I didn't expect you to be into mysteries too. Tell me about your accomplishments...!"

Sera Masumi's interest was immediately piqued. She didn't expect that the seemingly carefree young lady actually liked reasoning. Judging from her title, it seemed that she was quite capable!

One day, Conan thought something was wrong and was about to go up to Sonoko to stop her from talking when she told him the most common thing that happened to her: she felt like she suddenly lost consciousness and fell asleep...

Now Sera Masumi understood. She smiled secretly, and then continued to listen to Sonoko talk about her own achievements. At the same time, she secretly looked at Conan's changeable expression, and then secretly laughed in her heart.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Sera Masumi realized that it was getting late, and she had to go back quickly to report to her mother what she had seen and heard today, so she asked to leave. Hua Lantian didn't hesitate and let her go back without letting her stay overnight.

As for Xiaolan, Conan and Sonoko, they stayed behind. Conan didn't want to go back and listen to the uncle's snoring, so they each went to find a room to rest. However, Conan suddenly seemed to remember something and said he wanted to stay at Professor Agasa's house, and then ran away in a hurry.

Meanwhile, back at the Beihu Zunhao Hotel, Masumi Sera started chatting with a middle school-aged girl. It turned out to be her mother...
