Chapter 308: It

Sera Masumi held a strange piece of lingerie against her body, and her cheeks immediately flushed red.

Whose room is this? The clothes are too bizarre.

She turned and ran out.

Taking a deep breath and shaking her head to cast aside all sorts of strange thoughts, she opened the third room.

A pleasant singing voice could be heard faintly from inside.

Huh?

Is there someone?

Sera Masumi poked her head in curiously to look.

The decorations in the room were all ocean blue; it was as if she had arrived in the world of the sea.

A girl seemed to be taking a bath in the bathroom; there was the sound of water, and she was humming a song.

The voice was very moving.

The bathroom door wasn't closed tightly, leaving a crack.

Sera Masumi couldn't help but walk over and peek inside.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

In the bathroom, there was a large bathtub.

A beautiful girl was lying in it, and at the other end of the bathtub, a water-blue fish tail was raised high outside.

The girl was holding a shower head and rinsing the fish tail back and forth.

"Fish, a mermaid?!"

Sera Masumi couldn't help but make a sound.

"Huh? Who is it? Akaso-san, is that you?" a questioning voice came from the bathroom.

Sera Masumi covered her mouth and ran out in a panic.

It’s over!

There really is a big secret!

In this Onmyoji’s house, there is actually a mermaid hidden!

It’s too exaggerated.

How could there be mermaids in this world?

Am I going to be silenced?

Sera Masumi ran downstairs in a panic.

She hurriedly packed her luggage, but halfway through, she froze again.

No, I can't just leave like this.

First of all, this Akaso Kaze is very familiar with Conan. If she just ran away, Conan would definitely know, and it would be difficult to get close to him again.

In addition, if that girl named Haibara Ai also shrank after taking APTX4869, she is a better observation subject than Conan.

After all, she is a girl just like her mother, and it would be easier for her to make friends with her without being suspected.

Also, this Akaso Kaze clearly has a huge influence in Tokyo; even the Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department has to beg him to solve cases. If he wants to deal with her, she would probably have to flee Tokyo.

Looking at it this way, she can only pretend she doesn't know. Anyway, he is so famous, it’s normal for him to be visited by thieves.

Sera Masumi took a deep breath, calmed her mood, put her luggage back, and lay on the bed.

"What is this girl doing?"

Upstairs, Haibara Ai, who had turned back into a child, was lying on Akaso Kaze’s chest.

She was curiously observing Sera Masumi through the Eye of Space.

"She probably discovered your secret."

"Who told you to insist on going back to take a bath? Isn't it the same if you wash here?"

Akaso Kaze stroked Haibara Ai’s small body.

"Hmph, don't I know you? Every time I take a bath here, don't you run in halfway through? Taking a bath takes an hour of tossing and turning; I’m all wrinkled from soaking."

Haibara Ai pouted and pinched Akaso Kaze.

Akaso Kaze refused to accept it and pinched her back.

The two pinched each other and ended up together again.

"Miss Sera transferred to Teitan High School?"

Two days later, while eating breakfast, Akaso Kaze saw Sera Masumi wearing a girl’s school uniform in surprise.

You have to say, once she put on the high school girl’s skirt, she immediately had a feminine charm, though her chest was still too flat, about the same as Koshimizu Natsuki’s.

Sera Masumi blushed a little from Akaso Kaze’s gaze.

However, this also put her at ease.

It seems that the incident the day before yesterday didn't have any terrible consequences.

She didn't know if Akaso Kaze knew and didn't care, or if he didn't know at all.

In any case, Sera Masumi hadn't dared to go upstairs for the past two days.

But she could see the people in the building every time she ate.

That fish-tailed beauty actually had legs, two long, white legs, which made her wonder if she had seen things wrong at the time.

Or was she playing some kind of cosplay at the time?

Thinking of the bizarre clothes in the wardrobe in the next room, Sera Masumi felt this possibility was very high.

In the evening, after school, Sera Masumi followed Ran to visit the Mouri Detective Agency.

"What? Conan went out just now? To that Doctor’s house?!"

"Yes," Mouri Kogoro looked blankly at the boyish high school girl in front of him, "He said they are going camping tomorrow morning, so he’s staying there with a few kids today."

Mouri Kogoro turned his head and asked his daughter Ran quietly: "Who is this little girl?"

Ran introduced her: "This is Sera, who transferred here. She’s also a detective!"

"Oh, a high school girl detective?!"

The uncle asked Sera Masumi with a smile, "Then you should know about me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, right?"

Being admired by a young girl felt pretty good.

"I know, the Sleeping Kogoro, right?"

Sera Masumi laughed, "I often see this name when I look at Japanese news online. You seem to have solved many difficult cases."

"Japanese news?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

"Sera used to live in the United States."

Ran suggested from the side, "Why don't you let my dad tell you the story of how he solved cases? It should be more detailed than the news online!"

Just as Sera Masumi was about to answer, the studio door was suddenly pushed open, and three middle-aged women walked in excitedly.

"We are all mystery writers, and we’ve long wanted to hear the stories of the famous detective Mr. Mouri."

"Yes, we rushed over as soon as we heard we could hear Mr. Mouri tell stories."

"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro was dumbfounded, not knowing why three middle-aged women had suddenly run in; they didn't look like clients.

"Eh?" the thin woman wearing glasses asked in surprise, "Didn't Sawakuri tell you?"

"Sawakuri?" Ran asked curiously, "Could it be that you are talking about the mystery writer Sawakuri Miku who passed away last month?"

"We are all friends who met Sawakuri Miku on SNS," the plump woman wearing a round hat explained, "But the one who invited us here today is her brother."

"Yes, that’s me."

At this moment, a man wearing a baseball cap and field clothes walked into the studio.

"Mr. Sawakuri, what is going on? Detective Mouri doesn't seem to know about this."

The three middle-aged women asked hurriedly after seeing the man.

"Hmph, that’s for sure."

Sawakuri Isao closed the door behind him, suddenly raised a handgun, and fired a shot at the ceiling. The huge sound shocked everyone into silence.

"Because I didn't make an appointment at all!"

Facing the muzzle of the gun, the middle-aged women retreated to the table in terror: "Mr. Sawakuri, what are you doing?"

"Alright," Sawakuri Isao scolded, "Except for Detective Mouri, everyone throw your phones on the table and go to the wall! Hurry up! Don't dawdle!!"

"Strange."

Akaso Kaze, who was next door, turned toward the Mouri Detective Agency.

That was a gunshot, right?

There seemed to be other movements; it seemed something had happened.

Using the Eye of Space to look, huh, why are there robbers?

In the agency office, Ran and Sera Masumi suddenly made a move and knocked Sawakuri’s handgun away.

Unfortunately, he had anticipated this, and he was holding a bomb button in his other hand.

"I’ve heard that Detective Mouri has a daughter who does karate, but I didn't expect there to be two."

Sawakuri Isao climbed up, grinned, unzipped his jacket to reveal the bomb strapped to his body, and picked up the handgun again.

"It seems it was correct for me to bring this. Alright, let’s hear the famous deduction, Sleeping Kogoro!"

"Famous deduction?" Cold sweat broke out on the detective’s forehead.

I don't have a damn famous deduction.

Sawakuri looked at the three middle-aged women and sneered:

"My sister Sawakuri Miku was a bestselling author who won the Naoki Prize at a young age. Last month, the police said she committed suicide by slitting her wrists at a hot spring inn in Gunma, but I don't believe it was suicide!"

"It must have been one of these three people who went to the hot spring with her who killed her!!"
