Huihara Ai spoke calmly and looked ahead.

Serabelle was puzzled: "Why did you come to such a conclusion?"

"Edogawa said so." The brown-haired girl shrugged, imitating someone else's example. "He said he sent you a message, but you didn't reply."

"No, I replied to him."

Serabelle refused to accept the defeat, unlocked the screen, switched to the text chat page, and handed the phone to the former.

"look."

Huihara Ai really took a look.

Yes, I did reply, but the content of the chat was roughly as follows:

[Xiao Ke: Mr. Yuan Jiaming was murdered]

【Serabel: 1】

"...Can this be considered a reply?" The brown-haired girl resisted the urge to hold her forehead.

"How else can I respond?"

Serabelle said she was innocent too.

"If he had sent me photos of the scene, I could have helped him share it. But he didn't even have any photos and just told me about it. Can I still reply to him and say 'Send me a picture'?"

"..."

The brown-haired girl was speechless again.

To be honest, it is true that when someone tells you very seriously that so-and-so has had an accident, you respond with "no picture, no talk", which makes people feel like you are really enjoying it and watching a show.

That's not good indeed.

"So what's going on?"

Serabelle eased off the accelerator slightly.

Huihara Ai recalled carefully: "The day before, we visited the homes of Kazama Hidehiko and Kisaragi Minemizu in order to investigate the death of Councillor Ohki. The next morning, we went to Hara Yoshiaki's home, but not to investigate the case. It was because Kojima and his friends had agreed to help test the game software. As a result, when we arrived, the door of the house was open and the person was already dead in the living room. He was killed on the spot with a bullet through the heart."

“Very professional approach.”

Serabelle commented.

"Is there anything strange other than that?"

"Speaking of strange things..."

Huiyuan frowned and thought for a moment: "According to the police investigation after the report was made, all the data in Yuan Jiaming's personal computer was deleted, and there was a broken wine glass at the scene, but the strange thing is that although the fragments of the wine glass fell where there was blood, there was no blood on the fragments."

"Oh ho?"

Chapter 164 Why are you wearing Shirley’s hairstyle?

After all, the Tokiwa Group cannot compete with the second largest conglomerate in Japan. Compared with the 60th anniversary celebration of the Suzuki Group on the cruise ship, both the scale and the number of guests were far inferior.

However, it's still pretty awesome.

When Serabelle drove to the bottom of the twin skyscrapers again after a week, the situation tonight was extremely hot compared to the deserted appearance of the past few days.

The evening glow illuminates the earth, and all kinds of cars, SUVs, and MPVs are parked in the square downstairs.

Looking around, almost every one of these cars has one or two men in neat suits or women in evening dresses, in short, people with the words "successful people" written all over their faces, opening the car doors.

Serabel was also wearing a suit today, but compared to the elegant appearance of the others, his suit gave people the feeling that he might pull out a pistol from his clothes at any time to stage the famous scene of seven kills with seven bullets in John Wick: Chapter 7.

Maybe it's a temperament issue.

"Okay, here we are."

After parking the car in an empty space on the west side of the square, Serabelle turned to the brown-haired girl in the passenger seat and said.

At this time, Haibara Ai was staring at the screen of the mobile phone in her hand. Hearing this, she fumbled with one hand to loosen the seat belt and replied.

"The doctor and his team have also arrived. They seem to be on the east side of the square."

"Let's go then."

After walking through the crowded Twin Skyscraper Plaza and arriving at the east side, we found that Professor Agasa and the others were already there.

It wasn't just Professor Agasa and the three little ones, but also Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan who were not far away.

"Hey, Sera-kun."

Seeing Serabelle and Haibara Ai coming over, Dr. Agasa waved and gestured to the trunk of his car with his eyes.

"I have solved the problem about the spinning throwing axes you mentioned last time, Sera-kun. Although I didn't repair the old one, I made two new ones. I have enhanced their strength and self-repairing ability. By the way, I also added the retractable function to the new... Conan's belt."

"Telescopic function?"

Serabelle didn't understand what this was at first.

Could it be that the blade and the handle are separated and connected by a retractable structure in the middle, just like a baton... uh, a forty-meter-long sword?

"Ah, of course not that kind..."

Dr. Agasa waved his hand to put an end to Serabelle's wild imagination.

"I just made a bracelet-like device on it. One end of it can be fixed on the wrist. When the blade is swung out, the telescopic function of the bracelet connected to the rotating axe will be opened, a bit like the hook of a rope gun. Only a very small resistance will be generated during the extension process, which is almost negligible. When you want to retract it, just pull it back and the telescopic device will automatically retract the rotating axe."

"It can also be used as a rope gun?" Serabelle was stunned.

"Yes, as long as it can be hooked somewhere strong enough."

At this point, Dr. Agasa scratched his fat face and his tone became a little embarrassed.

"However, due to the size limitation, it can't be made as long as Conan's rope belt. His can extend a hundred meters, while yours can only be about thirty meters, but the strength is the same."

"Intensity means..."

"Well, there shouldn't be any problem in pulling objects under ten tons."

???

After hearing the above remarks, Serabelle imagined for a moment.

Even with Conan's belt...how long can a children's belt be?

About 1.2 to 1.5 meters at most.

In other words, a 1.2-meter belt can not only be pulled out to a length of 200 meters, but its strength can also withstand a force of at least ten tons, and the weight is still controlled within the range of children's belts.

Materials science no longer exists.

Forget it, never mind. After all, he is just an "ordinary" folk scientist who can rub bulletproof glasses with his hands. So let it be.

After thinking for a moment, Serabelle wisely and decisively gave up the question of how many years the technology tree of Beika Town had surpassed the world. After glancing at Maori Kogoro and others not far away, she tilted her head towards the twin skyscrapers that stood like torches in the twilight.

"Anyway, let's go in first."

"Eh? Aren't you going to take your equipment with you?" Dr. Agasa didn't react for a moment.

"I can't bring it in. It's too conspicuous."

Serabelle glanced at the Tokiwa Group security guards standing at the hotel entrance and shook her head.

Others travel light and just wear a flower on their chest. At most, some women carry a bag to hold their cell phones and makeup mirrors.

If he just carried two black boxes in...even though they were not particularly large, they would still be too conspicuous in comparison. It would be strange if he was not stopped.

“Really?”

Dr. Agasa touched his bald forehead and smiled, then became a little thoughtful.

"Well, it seems that portability is indeed something that needs to be considered."

"...?"

Serabelle almost thought that this ordinary folk scientist from Beika Town was about to take out a storage capsule from the Dragon Ball and throw it on the two black boxes in the trunk of the car, and then put it into the capsule with a boom, amid a burst of white smoke.

Fortunately, there is no...

Seeing that it was almost time, everyone who had arrived in the square started to walk into the building. In addition, the weather outside was indeed a bit too hot, so Dr. Agasa looked around and decided to call the children to follow them inside.

Just then, there was some noise suddenly coming from the other end of the square.

I saw ten black limousines driving into the square in front of the building that was already full of cars.

It wasn't that ten families of guests arrived at the same time, but only one family.

Suzuki!

The consortium logo engraved on the body of each car silently tells this point. The convoy is like a black dragon, passing through the square lightly but majestically, and all voices are silent wherever it passes.

The third car in the convoy stopped next to Serabelle and others.

It seemed to be the core of the entire convoy. Once it stopped, all the other cars in the team stopped as well.

The car window slowly lowered. Mrs. Suzuki, who was sitting in the back seat, did not move. She just smiled and nodded at Serabelle outside the window.

And Serabelle also gracefully returned the British gentleman's salute.

At the same time, the rear door on the other side opened, and a young and beautiful girl emerged from it, making a funny "clang clang" sound from her mouth.

Serabelle subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, he almost stumbled.

No... Sonoko, why are you wearing Shirley's hairstyle? !

Chapter 165 Gin: Shirley, even if you become a fool, I will still recognize you...

Enter the twin-tower skyscraper and come to the elevator lobby.

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Since the guests who were supposed to go up had already gone up, when Serabelle and others arrived at the elevator door, the VIP elevator had just descended.

So everyone entered the elevator.

It was not until the elevator door closed and started to rise that Xiaolan curiously asked about Sonoko's hairstyle.

"Speaking of which, Sonoko, why did you suddenly change your hairstyle? I almost didn't recognize you when I first saw you."

"Eh? Really? Really?"

Hearing her friend say this, Sonoko proudly touched her newly permed short hair, which had the same big wavy, slightly curly style as Shirley's.

"Really? It's not an exaggeration at all."

Xiaolan told the truth and stared at her friend.

It has to be said that hairstyle can have a huge impact on a person's appearance. It's not just the appearance of the hair, it can also have a huge impact on temperament.

Sometimes it can even modify the shape of the face.

For example, if Yuanzi used to be a country girl with no makeup on and no idea how to dress up.

So it wouldn't look out of place even if she were put on the cover of some Paris Fashion Week magazine.

Big transformation, this is...

"To be honest, the inspiration for changing my hairstyle actually came from that girl."

In fact, Sonoko and Haibara Ai were not very familiar with each other, so she could only smile and nod in the direction of the latter in the elevator.

"Well, I'm pretty satisfied with this hairstyle anyway, it's just a little troublesome to maintain."

"Oh, I remember that you, Sonoko, used to hate taking care of your hair," Xiaolan asked curiously.

“Well… that’s how it was before…”

When this question was mentioned, Miss Sonoko's eyes wandered slightly, and after moving around for a while, they finally accidentally fell on Serabell, who was in the elevator next to her and was exchanging glances with the brown-haired girl next to her.

Sensing the gaze from the side, Serabelle turned around and tilted her head.

"what happened?"

"Ah... no, nothing..."

Seeing that her sneak peek was discovered, Yuanzi hastily moved her eyes away, but then thought that this seemed impolite, so she moved her eyes back, calmed herself down, and pointed at her hair.
