Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 175 Akai Mary: Do you expect me to have another one?
"really!"

Mary Akai was not too surprised by the survey results.

She had seen Shinichi Kudo when he was seven or eight years old on the beach. He looked exactly like Conan now, except he wore glasses.

It is impossible for two people in this world to look exactly alike.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Shinichi Kudo is Conan Edogawa.

As for the reason why Shinichi Kudo turned into Conan Edogawa, she had a slight guess.

That was the drug that her sister, Elena Miyano, was researching.

She wasn't sure exactly what the drug was, but it was definitely something extraordinary.

After all, her sister was known as an angel fallen to hell, and her brother-in-law was called a mad scientist.

He's clearly a psychic eccentric, yet the Black Organization has recruited such a psychic eccentric into their ranks. Therefore, the drug they're developing must be no ordinary drug.

It's highly likely that it's a drug that can slow down aging or even grant immortality.

She had also heard rumors that the head of the Karasuma Zaibatsu, Renya Karasuma, was still alive.

If this is true, then Karasuma Renya would be over a hundred years old.

He might have used these anti-aging drugs, or even developed them by his sister and brother-in-law.

And now, his niece, Shiho Miyano, is continuing to research this drug.

"Mom, do you know something?" Sera Masumi asked, turning her head.

Upon hearing this, Mary Akai said, "There are some things you shouldn't know yet. I will tell you when the time is right."

Sera Masumi pouted. She was already tired of hearing this; it was always the same excuse she was given.

She's already a high school student, seventeen years old, and they still treat her like a child. It's really too much.

"So when will the time be right?"

Mary Akai replied, "It's best if you never know these things."

"This means we can solve it. If you knew, it would mean we'd all be dead."

If they are still alive, there is no need for someone like Sera Masumi to participate in the fight. If they die, then Sera Masumi will have to fight.

This is a life-or-death battle.

And their enemies are quite formidable.

“Okay.” Sera Mary shrugged. “I won’t ask anymore, and don’t say such scary things. I still want you to live to be a hundred years old.”

Mary Akai sighed, reached out and stroked her little head, and said with a smile, "If I could, I'd like to hold my grandson."

"So you shouldn't think about it so much; the more you know, the more painful it will be."

"At your age, you should be studying and dating."

"Now that Shinichi Kudo has become like this, are you still going to wait for him?"

No one knows a daughter better than her mother; she knew very well what Sera Masumi was thinking.

Sera Masumi had quite a bit of affection for the little boy from back then.

The source of his affection is rather strange; it's simply because Shinichi Kudo was able to make the usually stern Shuichi Akai laugh.

For this reason, Sera Masumi developed a slight liking for Kudo Shinichi.

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi shrugged and said, "I don't know."

"Besides, he already has someone he likes, the little girl from back then, Ran Mouri." "And I only have a slight liking for him, I never said I wanted to date him, so Mom, please stop playing matchmaker."

"If you want to hold your grandson, you'd better rely on Hideyoshi and Hideyoshi!"

Hearing this, Mary Akai sighed: "I have three children, but now I can't count on any of them."

"That kid Shuichi is only focused on destroying the Black Organization and doesn't care about anything else, especially his affair with your cousin, it really hurts me."

"As for your second brother, Hideyoshi, strictly speaking, he is no longer considered a member of the Akai family."

"And with you looking like this, am I supposed to have another baby myself?!"

"Hehe." Sera Masumi linked arms with Akai Mary and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal if you have one yourself!"

“After all, Dad has been gone for so many years, and you didn’t choose to remarry in order to take care of me.”

"Now that I'm all grown up, I don't need you to take care of me anymore. You can go and pursue your own happiness."

"What on earth is going on in your head?" Akai Mary rolled her eyes at her and tapped her forehead. "I'm already fifty years old. What kind of man am I looking for? Do you expect me to find an old man?"

"After taking care of you, are you going to take care of an old man?"

"Besides, your father is missing, not really dead. He might even appear in front of us alive."

She still had a sliver of hope for Akai Tsutomu; after all, she hadn't seen the body, so he wasn't really dead.

"Mom, you don't even believe what you're saying, so don't try to fool me. If Dad were still alive, he would have come back long ago."

"Besides, Mom, you're still very young, you look no more than thirty, so it's fine for you to find a handsome guy in his twenties or thirties. I don't mind at all," Sera Masumi said with a grin.

Although Sera Masumi lived in Japan for a while, she spent most of her time in London, so she was quite open-minded about some things.

She also felt that her mother should find someone else so she wouldn't be so bored.

"Hmph, your old lady isn't shameless enough to go looking for a man who's ten or twenty years younger than her."

"And you don't need to worry about my affairs," Akai Mary said irritably. "I'm going out to find Kitahara Natsuhiro later. Are you coming with me or staying at the hotel?"

She wasn't going to argue with her daughter anymore; she had other things to take care of.

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi said, "I'll go with you."

"It's boring to be alone in the hotel, and you won't let me bother Hideyoshi-nii."

Mary Akai once said that you should not bother Hideyoshi Haneda unless absolutely necessary.

After all, they are now two separate families. If their family is wiped out, they will be counting on Hideyoshi to carry on the family line.

"Okay, then I'll come along."

Mary Akai didn't say much, picked up her coat and hat, and prepared to go out.

Mihua Apartment.

At that moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro had just returned from Kujo Reiko's place and received the key from the gatekeeper.

"Mr. Kitahara, is someone looking to rent Mrs. Takemura's house?" the gatekeeper asked.

The woman named Mrs. Takemura, whom the gatekeeper mentioned, was an elderly woman in her sixties who was taking care of her grandson, so she did not live here.

"Yes, it's a friend of mine, so I got the key and was going to bring my friend over to take a look."

"I see."
