Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 295 Encountering Sera by chance and exploring the Haneda Koji case
Conan was carrying a backpack and tugging at the corner of his sister's clothes, his eyes full of anxiety: "Sister Xue, hurry up."
He ran and hurried, as if something important was waiting for him.
Kudo Yuki was a little surprised by Conan's sudden action, but soon she reacted and quickened her pace to catch up with him. "Conan, why are you so anxious?"
"Sister Xue, I heard that the bookstore has received several new detective novels. I want to go take a look."
On the street, pedestrians looked sideways at the two figures, one large and one small, running quickly. The sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows.
Conan's backpack bounced up and down behind him, and it looked like it was filled with treasures. His eyes were gleaming with anticipation, and he just wanted to get to the bookstore as soon as possible.
Kudo Yuki looked at Conan like this, bent down slightly, and gently patted Conan's shoulder: "Slow down, don't run so fast, be careful not to fall."
Conan did not slow down, "Sister Xue, hurry up, I'm afraid if I go too late someone else will buy it."
After a while, the brother and sister arrived at the door of the bookstore.
Conan let go of the corner of Kudo Yuki's clothes and walked into the bookstore. The door of the bookstore shook slightly when he knocked on it, making a "creaking" sound.
Kudo Yuki smiled helplessly and followed him in.
The bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books.
Conan searched the bookshelves for the detective novel he liked, his eyes scanning the cover of each book.
Kudo Yuki was watching him from the side and asked, "Conan, why did you come to this store to buy books?"
Conan stood on tiptoe to reach the book, his face slightly reddened from the effort. He stretched out his arms, wanting to get the novel he liked.
"It was Xiaolan who recommended me to this bookstore. She told me that it was Sera who said, 'There is an excellent bookstore in Haido Town with many carefully selected books, especially mystery novels are very popular.' So, I thought I would try my luck here."
Kudo Yuki raised an eyebrow, and seeing how Conan was struggling to reach the book, she quickly pushed the bookshelf ladder in front of Conan. "Go up, where is the book you want? I'll push you over."
Conan's eyes lit up and he quickly climbed up the ladder.
Being at a high place, he had a wider field of vision and soon found the books he wanted. Conan pointed to the location of the books, and Kudo Yuki pushed the ladder gently and brought him to the books.
Conan picked up the three novels with a satisfied smile on his face. He stroked the cover of the book, "I'm so lucky! I bought three out-of-print mystery novels. I came to this bookstore after traveling such a long way. It's really a good choice."
Kudo Yuki carried Conan down the ladder and paid his bill.
Conan was thinking in his heart: "Does Sera really like reading so much?"
He was full of doubts, but at the same time he was grateful for Sera Masumi's recommendation. If it weren't for Sera Masumi, he might have missed these three precious novels.
Conan put the three mystery novels into his backpack.
As the brother and sister came out of the bookstore, Kudo Yuki's attention was attracted by the turn not far away. She saw Sera Masumi rolling up his sleeves and repairing a motorcycle, as if waiting for someone.
Kudo Yuki's mind flashed back to the previous conversation with Conan, and she secretly complained in her heart: "This must be directed at Conan, which can just solve the doubts in my heart."
Kudo Yuki stopped involuntarily, and Conan noticed something strange and turned to look at her.
Kudo Yuki frowned slightly, and after thinking it over, she said softly, "Keep your voice down."
Conan looked puzzled, tilted his head and asked: "Sister Xue, what happened?"
Kudo Yuki leaned close to Conan's ear and whispered in a low voice: "Go over there first later, and after you turn the corner, you will know the reason."
Although Conan was full of confusion, he decided to do as Kudo Yuki said and walked towards the corner.
The moment he turned the corner, he heard the familiar voice of Sera Masumi: "Hello, Conan."
Conan was confused for a moment, still looking around for the source of the sound.
Seeing this, Sera Masumi waved his hands and shouted, "Here, here."
Conan put his hands in his pockets and walked forward to greet him: "Sister Sera."
Masumi Sera's face was filled with smiles, and he pointed at the drink bottle in his shirt pocket. "I'm so lucky to meet you here today! Can you help me unscrew this bottle cap? I'm so thirsty."
Conan raised his head slightly and looked at her speechlessly: "Can't you drive by yourself?"
Sera Masumi opened his hands so Conan could see clearly. "But look, I was just fiddling with the motorcycle, and my hands are all greasy."
Without giving it too much thought, Conan reached out and took out the drink bottle from Sera Masumi's shirt pocket, preparing to unscrew it for her, muttering, "Okay."
Shiliang Zhenchun smiled and said, "Thank you."
Just after Conan twisted it a few times, the drink bottle suddenly made a "hiss" sound, and the powerful force caused the drink to spray onto Conan's face in an instant, soaking him like a drowned chicken.
Conan was startled: "Wow!"
He stared at the drink bottle in his hand dumbfoundedly and said helplessly: "This is a carbonated drink."
Sera Masumi pretended to be surprised and apologized quickly: "Oh, sorry, I need to change my clothes right away."
Conan smiled and politely declined: "It's okay, I'll just run back."
Sera Masumi would not miss such a good opportunity. She leaned over and immediately found an excuse that Conan could not refuse: "This place is quite far from your home, right? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to be sticky all over?"
At this time, Kudo Yuki watched the show at the corner for a while, and she already understood what Sera Masumi was planning. While she stood up and didn't notice the corner, Kudo Yuki walked towards Conan leisurely.
Sera Masumi pointed at the hotel across the street and continued to fool Conan: "By the way, I moved last week, and the hotel I'm staying in now just happens to be right there."
Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Huh?"
Sera Masumi leaned over and continued to induce, "How about you go to my room in the hotel and take a shower in the bathroom?"
Conan looked up at her with suspicion. After careful consideration, he answered, "No."
Sera Masumi pretended to be surprised: "Why?"
Kudo Yuki walked between the two and said, "Conan, I was just gone for a while, why are you so wet?"
She looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "It's sunny today, and there's no sign of rain in the weather forecast. Is it someone on this floor who deliberately played a prank? No, I'm going to go up and settle the score with them."
Kudo Yuki acted as if she was going to step forward to seek justice and was not going to give up until she got to the bottom of the matter.
Seeing this, Sera Masumi looked panicked, and rushed forward in one step, opened her arms to stop Kudo Yuki, with an awkward smile on her face: "No, no, no, Sister Yuki, this is not a prank. It's my fault. I didn't see the drink bottle clearly, and Conan suffered."
Conan wiped the drink off his face helplessly, looked at Sera Masumi and his sister, and muttered to himself: "Sera must have some purpose."
Kudo Yuki frowned slightly, pretending to be angry and muttered to Sera Masumi, "What should we do now? We can't let Conan go back like this."
Sera Masumi quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Like I just said, go to my hotel room to take a shower and change clothes. It's really convenient, and I promise there won't be any problems."
Conan was still a little hesitant. He looked at his sister and then at Sera Masumi.
Kudo Yuki saw Conan's concerns, and she patted Conan's shoulder gently: "Conan, Masumi also means well. And I will go with you, don't worry."
Hearing what Kudo Yuki said, Conan relaxed a little.
Kudo Yuki uses her eyes to convey information to Conan. [Just find a topic to start with and follow Masumi. I have some clues to find Akai Mari.]
Conan understood the look in his sister's eyes and nodded slightly. [No problem.]
Conan suddenly had an idea. He took out his phone from his pocket, swiped the screen skillfully, and searched for news about the case online. "Sister Sera, don't you watch the news?"
He held up his phone so that Sera Masumi could see the contents clearly. He spoke veiledly: "Look, two explosions occurred in hotels one after another, and the culprit has not been caught yet. The hotel is so scary, I don't want to go there."
Masumi Sera looked at the news on his phone and read slowly, "Oh... Both times the same room was bombed. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Both hotels received strange signals, and none of these signals were made public by the media."
The brother and sister started acting tacitly.
Conan smiled on the surface, but secretly complained in his heart: "Yes, that's it. It's full of the smell of a trap."
Sera Masumi stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "By the way, I accidentally got the code for the first case today."
Conan's attitude immediately changed when he heard this, and his voice involuntarily rose a few notes: "Really?"
Seeing that this plan worked, Sera Masumi told the truth: "Yes, I can show you! But the code is in the computer in my hotel room."
She was still pushing her scooter. "Want to take a shower?"
"Well, then." Conan winked at his elder sister: "Sister Xue, it's a good opportunity for you to come along too. I see your arms are stained with motorcycle oil."
Kudo Yuki nodded slightly and looked at the oil stains on her arms. "Okay, let's go together."
The three of them came to the hotel room where Masumi Sera was staying.
When Akai Mary saw Conan, she immediately hid.
Masumi Sera first asked Conan to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Conan put his backpack outside the bathroom door and walked into the bathroom. After a while, the people outside heard the sound of water splashing.
Akai Mary appeared and handed Kudo Yuki a hot towel. "Go to the other room and wipe off the oil stains. Don't get your clothes dirty."
Kudo Yuki took the towel and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Mary."
Turned and went to another room.
After the mother and daughter were left in the living room, Sera Masumi shouted to Conan: "How is it, Conan? This bathroom is quite comfortable, right?"
Conan responded: "Not bad."
Akai Mari signaled to her daughter with her eyes. [Hurry up.]
After receiving the signal from her mother, Sera Masumi quietly approached Conan's backpack. [Of course, I know.]
Akai Mary stood aside, coughing and thinking: "If this boy has an antidote that can make my shrunken body return to its original state, now is the best opportunity to take it for myself."
As soon as Sera Masumi opened Conan's backpack, she heard Conan's voice: "Oh, by the way, if it's that medicine, I didn't bring it with me today."
Sera Masumi was dumbfounded: "Ah...oh...really?"
She lowered her head to check again, and sure enough, there was nothing in her backpack. Sera Masumi smiled awkwardly and made a cross gesture to her mother.
Akai Mary snorted unwillingly, feeling helpless.
At this moment, Kudo Yuki walked from her room to the living room and handed the towel to Sera Masumi. "Thank you."
Sera Masumi took the towel and said, "You're welcome."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Kudo Yuki coughed lightly and said, "Aunt Mary, can I ask you a few questions alone?"
Akai Mary was slightly startled, then nodded.
The two came to a quiet corner. The light here was a little dim, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of tranquility.
Kudo Yuki chose her words carefully: "Aunt Mary, I know you have been through a lot. I want to ask about the case of Hiroshi Haneda. I heard from the Ooka family that the Akai family and the Haneda family are good friends. Do you know the name of the head of the Haneda family?"
Akai Mary's eyes suddenly became deep, and she was lost in memories: "The head of the Haneda family is named Haneda Yasuharu. Back then, Haneda Hiroshi's case happened too suddenly, and it remains a mystery to this day."
"Do you have any special clues about this case?"
Akai Mary sighed softly, "All I know is that before Hiroshi was killed, he seemed to have come into contact with some unusual people, and he left some strange codes. These codes have not yet been fully solved."
"Aunt Mary, I have one more thing I want to tell you."
"whats the matter?"
"After I solved a case, a black rare antique car passed by. I heard the old man sitting in the car with a ventilator saying, 'The police are just stupid people.'
I wondered if that person was from the Haneda family, so I asked you this question. Also, I'm not sure if the male driver wearing black sunglasses who drove the old man was the person you were looking for. "
A hint of surprise flashed in Akai Mary's eyes, and her body shook slightly: "Are you sure you heard this?"
"I am sure that the man spoke in a very arrogant tone. I felt at the time that this person was not a simple person, so I was particularly impressed by him."
Mary Akai fell into deep thought, her eyes flickering in the dim light. "This matter is very strange, I need to think about it carefully. If that person is really from the Haneda family, then there may be new clues in Haneda Hiroshi's case.
As for the driver... I'm not sure if he is the person I'm looking for. But this news is very important to me, thank you for telling me."
