I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

That was indeed Room 214, located at the innermost room after exiting the elevator lobby on the 21st floor. A quick glance at the door revealed that it was empty, with no welcome carpet or surveillance camera, and there was not even any decoration on the door.

At first glance it looked as if no one lived there at all.

"It's right here..."

Hattori Heiji came to the door with his hands in his pockets. He first looked up at the house number above, then turned to look at Conan and Serabel on both sides, and then turned his gaze back to the house number and continued to shake.

He is in a very strange state now. At first glance, standing in the middle position, he seems to be ready to press the doorbell and go forward to negotiate at any time.

But... just don't press it.

The three of them stood at the door for a full minute, and finally Hattori Heiji couldn't help it and asked.

"What should we do now?"

"……ha?!"

Conan's glasses almost fell off in shock at what he said.

"Hey, are you kidding me? It was you who insisted on visiting Teacher Judy. How come you haven't even thought of an excuse?"

"What do you mean I insist on..." Hattori Heiji's face turned redder, "You have to come up with an excuse. Besides, it was the first time that I met that female teacher. What excuse can I find for a first meeting?"

"That's what I said."

Conan twitched his lips and thought that it seemed so.

The two of them just stared at each other at the door for a while, and suddenly they were stunned at the same time, uttered a rising "hmm" in their mouths, and then turned their heads in unison to look at someone who had not spoken since they went upstairs.

"How about...Sera, you come?"

Conan was a thin-skinned man after all, so he moved aside to make room and made a gesture of invitation.

Hattori Heiji is a little more shameless in comparison. It is obvious that he is the Osaka Courage Legend and does not dare to take the lead, but he still has to talk in a high-sounding way.

"Well, anyway, it's time to see how you perform, Sera-san. Kudo and I won't get involved~"

After saying that, he actually held Conan's hand, chatted with him, and moved back to the corner of the corridor without looking back. The cat went in and hid, only giving a firm thumbs up from the outside.

Are you two elementary school students?

Shaking her head silently in her heart, Serabel turned to the apartment door, raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.

ding dong~

It was as if the same default doorbell was ringing throughout the corridor.

Serabelle glanced back and saw that not only were there two heads sticking out from the corner, but even a certain black thumb had retracted into the corner, hiding itself so well.

Absolutely.

The complaints in my heart had just ended when at the same time a female teacher's classic American Japanese voice rang on the doorbell.

"Hello, who is this~"

"Good afternoon, Miss Judy, it's me."

Serabelle's tone was calm and concise.

Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, the female teacher on the doorbell rang with a slightly surprised tone.

"It's Sera-kun. Wait a moment. I'll be right there to open the door~"

Still pinching.

Serabelle thought.

Perhaps within a dozen seconds, accompanied by the sound of slippers stepping on the floor coming from far away, the doorknob on the apartment door moved slightly, and then was pulled open by someone from the inside.

A mist filled with the fragrance of shower gel blew in my face, and a high school English teacher appeared at the door. She had just taken a shower and changed into a loose bathrobe, revealing her proud white bust.

"Teacher Judy, were you... taking a shower?" Serabelle looked at her in surprise.

"Yes~" the female foreign teacher blinked and made a scissors hand gesture, "I hurried out because I heard your voice, Sera-kun."

"Okay, excuse me for interrupting you." Serabelle pointed at the female foreign teacher's chest, "But Teacher Judy, I suggest you pull your collar up a little bit. After all, the other two might lose control if they see you."

"The other two?"

Hearing that there seemed to be other people, Judy stretched her neck and looked curiously at the empty corridor behind the boy, but she still honestly pulled her collar tighter with her hands.

Serabelle turned to the corner of the corridor, her voice as calm as ever, only slightly raised.

"Is it almost time to come out?"

"I'm coming……"

"Hey, I said that there would be no problem if Brother Sera came out~"

As a Kansai high school detective insisted, two figures, one tall and one short, walked out from behind the wall.

Judy tilted her head to take a look and immediately exclaimed.

She covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at Conan.

"I remember you. You were also on the bus at that time..."

"My name is Edogawa Conan." Conan made full use of his childish advantages and showed a cute smile on his face, "Sister Ran seems to be your student, Teacher Judy, right?"

"Mori-san? Yes, yes."

Judy made use of her strengths as an American and became familiar with Conan in just two or three sentences.

Then she looked at Hattori Heiji who was standing next to Conan.

"Then this is..."

"Hello, my name is Hattori Heiji."

Hattori Heiji scratched his head, leaned forward shyly and greeted him. Two seconds later, he realized that if he just said his name, the other party would not know who he was at all, so he quickly added another sentence.

"I'm friends with this Sierra guy."

"Oh~ I see, hello~"

Judy smiled warmly and stepped aside to make way for the door.

"Please come in, but I didn't make anything delicious at home today, so let's go out to eat later. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Ah, rather than that, can I go to the bathroom first?" Conan seemed a little anxious.

"Come to think of it, I also feel like going to the bathroom..." Hattori Heiji quickly followed, "I've been holding it in outside for a while."

"Sure, of course."

Judy pointed to the corridor to the right after entering.

"The first room on the right is the restroom."

"Okay, okay, thank you..."

After hurriedly saying thank you, Hattori Heiji and Conan trotted into the bathroom and closed the door.

That back view looked just like a group of elementary school boys going to the toilet together.

Well, one of them is.

Only after watching the two disappear into the bathroom door did Judy turn back to the London boy who was still standing at the door. She clasped her arms across her chest to support her broad chest and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Now, can you tell me why you brought them here?"

"If I have to say it, it's probably because the two of them didn't believe in it and insisted on doubting Teacher Judy's identity, and dragged me here..."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Chapter 280 Next time I will beat him up

It was already almost evening, so the three of them stayed at Teacher Judy's house for a short while before leaving.

The dinner was set at a Sukiyaki restaurant near the apartment building.

"Okay guys, eat whatever you want, the teacher is treating us tonight~"

In a C-shaped booth for four people, the blonde foreign teacher spoke bold words in broken Japanese.

Serabelle cracked a sterilized egg into the bowl in front of her and looked up.

"No, I'll pay the bill then."

"Ah, this isn't good, is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the female foreign teacher's voice rang out.

"After all, teachers are working adults. It's a bit disrespectful for an adult to ask a minor to pay the bill, isn't it?"

An American actually knows what Mai Tai means.

Serabelle threw a plate of fat beef into the boiling pot: "First of all, according to British law, I am also an adult who has already worked. Secondly, Teacher Judy, haven't you heard of this saying?"

"what?"

Judy blinked her eyes cutely.

Serabelle put the empty plate in her hand down on the shelf beside her and paused before speaking.

"There's a saying that goes, if you treat girls to a meal, at best they will think you're a pretty good person, but if you treat boys to a meal, you'll get a bunch of adopted sons, so—"

"Hi, sons!"

With chopsticks between her fingers, Serabelle waved to the two stunned high school detectives across the table.

The female foreign teacher also opened her mouth slightly and stood there frozen, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Serabelle shrugged at her.

"Since my son has already called out, I have no choice but to pay the bill."

Is there still such an operation?

Perhaps because they were naturally reserved towards the beautiful foreign older sister, Conan and Hattori Heiji didn't say much during the entire dinner. It was basically Serabelle and Judy who were chatting. As for the two high school detectives, they were completely marginalized.

From five in the evening to nearly seven, from the time I sat down to eat to the time afterwards it almost became pure imprisonment.

This was probably the ninth time Conan looked at his phone during the entire dinner, and he exclaimed in surprise as if he had suddenly discovered some new world.

"By the way, Hattori, what time did you buy the ticket back to Osaka?"

"Almost... eight o'clock, what's wrong?"

"It's already seven o'clock!"

"Nani? Is it that late already?"

Hattori Heiji was waiting for this sentence, but he pretended to be surprised on the surface.

Conan urged urgently.

"It takes a while to get to the station from here, Hattori, how about I take you there now?"

"Uh, that's fine."

The two of them sang in unison and moved out one after another.

Especially Hattori Heiji, who did not forget to wave goodbye before leaving.

"I'm sorry, Sera-san and Judy-sensei, I'm going to go back today. I'll treat you guys to delicious food next time I come to Osaka!"

"Hey, hey, hey, go ahead."

So Conan and Hattori Heiji left quickly, leaving only Serabell and Judy in the booth.

"Mmm~ He left."

Judy picked up the drink and took a sip through the straw. She crossed her legs under the table, rested her elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, and with her cheek in her hand, she looked towards the restaurant entrance, whose glass door was still shaking slightly back and forth.

Serabelle forked a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into her mouth. "I almost expected this result. When they came, they insisted on dragging me along. As a result, when we arrived at your door, I hadn't even thought of how to start the conversation."

"So cute."

Judy burst out laughing after hearing this.

Serabelle put down the silver fork and said, "Then, can we put an end to our mutual probing? I know your true identity, Teacher Judy, and you also know the true situation on my side. After all, to some extent, we both have informants on each other's side."

"That's true."
