I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

In fact, normally it doesn't take so much time, but the human face is not a concrete wall, it is impossible to just use a brush to roughly apply wall powder on it.

Especially the upper and lower eyelids and the corners of the eyes, if you are not careful, it may damage the eyeball.

So Serabelle could only do it carefully, bit by bit. When it came to the parts near the eyes, she used more foundation to transition, and used eyeliner to outline the eyelashes all around.

Whether something is white or not is determined by comparison.

Just like that, the hour hand of the wall clock moved two full spaces.

"Okay, that's about it. Finally, you need to use this to wrap your face and hands."

After putting away her makeup brush, Serabelle took out a long roll of bandage from her other pocket.

"What is this for? Make me a mummy?"

Hattori Heiji, who had already been completely made up to look like Kudo Shinichi, was stunned.

"But if you were planning on having me cover my face from the beginning, why did you give me those weird things? Wouldn't it be better to just change into a mask and pretend to be a werewolf?"

"That way no one will know that you might be Kudo Shinichi." Serabelle skillfully wrapped the bandage while speaking, "Overtime werewolf will cover your face, but pretending to be a mummy can still show your handsome features to a certain extent, and those cosmetics... can make people not think you are a mummy from Africa."

"Hey Hey hey!"

As soon as he heard the word Africa, many crossroads suddenly appeared in Hattori Heiji's mind.

Serabelle patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, just take the invitation and go to the masquerade ball, Kudo Shinichi-san."

"correct."

At this moment, Conan on the other side seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Serabel, didn't you say you arranged someone to pretend to be Huibara? When will the person you mentioned come?"

"Don't worry, she came with me."

Serabelle looked towards the door.

"And right now, she should be at Agasa's house next door..."

click -

Before he could finish his words, the half-closed entrance door was pushed open from the outside.

A brown-haired girl wearing a mask walked in from outside with a cold expression.

The first thing she did when she entered the room was to look at Yukiko who was sitting on the sofa. After a pause of about two seconds, she turned her gaze to Serabel who had just finished putting on makeup in the middle of the living room.

"I checked the entire Agasa residence and found that there were quite a few bugs installed, and the telephone lines were also tampered with."

"I've marked the locations, but we'll deal with these after tonight."

Chapter 357: Serabelle draws out seven wolves

Hattori Heiji left Kudo's residence at four in the evening and went to the port of Tokyo Bay to attend the interview party for extras on the ghost ship.

Conan and Yukiko naturally stayed in their own home, while Serabell and Akai Mari, who was disguised as Haibara Ai, went to Agasa's house next door to wait in advance.

Just like that, the time came to seven o'clock in the evening.

Since it is winter, it is completely dark outside at this time. Every household in the residential area near Beika Town has turned on bright lights. In the past, when technology was not so advanced, this basically meant time to go to bed.

However, the phone rang in the living room of Agasa's house.

Jingle Bell--

Jingle Bell--

The phone rang four times before being picked up.

"Hello, ahem... this is Dr. Agasa's house."

The person who answered the phone was naturally Mari Akai, or rather, Mari Akai pretending to be her niece.

The only difference is that this time, she not only disguised herself as Haibara Ai as she did during the day, but also wore an extra mask on her face.

This is not to cover up the difference in facial details, but to cover the voice changer inside the mask, so the voice she makes now is also Haibara Ai's voice.

That's right, in order to cooperate with this operation, Dr. Agasa worked overtime overnight to redraw the design and improved Conan's voice-changing bow. While retaining the original function, he also reduced its size by more than five times.

If it was as big as a compass before, it is now at most the size of a button. It can be stuck inside the mask without being noticed unless it is stretched too tight.

"Ah, is that Haibara-san?"

The voice coming from the phone was that of an unexpectedly gentle young male stranger.

When she heard that the person was looking for her niece, Akai Mari immediately turned around and looked at Serabel, who was sitting on the sofa not far away with a tablet in her hands.

Before she answered the call, she turned on the hands-free mode on the landline phone, and the sound amplified by the receiver to the speaker was enough to cover the entire living room.

The voice on the phone continued to come out.

"I'm Doctor Shinade. Remember, I'm the school doctor of Teitan High School, where Mori and Suzuki are from? I've got your medical report from last week. It seems that your cold is quite serious." Doctor Shinade said on the phone, "So if it's convenient, I'd like to take you to the big hospital where my friend works for a detailed examination today."

"..."

Mary Akai did not answer immediately, but looked in the direction of Serabelle on the sofa. After receiving the latter's OK gesture reply, she nodded slightly to show that she understood.

She gathered her emotions for a moment and adopted a tone that contained a hint of rejection.

"But it's already so late today. If it were tomorrow during the day..."

"Oh, maybe it's too late then."

The young man who claimed to be Dr. Shinchu on the other end of the line apologized.

"Because my friend is going on a business trip tomorrow, if we need to check it up, we can only do it tonight. And although a cold isn't a big deal, it's better to be cautious. If it develops into a tracheal infection, it will be terrible. If you can spare the time, I'll drive over to pick you up now. Don't worry, it won't take too long to go there and back."

"Well, okay then..."

After thinking for two seconds, Akai Mary agreed.

"Then let's put it this way. I'll come over to pick you up right now."

Before hanging up the phone, Dr. Shinchu asked one more question.

"By the way, is Dr. Agasa at home now?"

"The doctor is not here. He and his sister went out for something..."

Akai Mary let the cat out of the bag on purpose.

Before he finished speaking, Dr. Shinichi on the other end of the phone hummed in confusion.

"So Haibara-san has a sister? I've never heard of her before."

"…She's just a distant relative's sister. She just came to Tokyo to visit recently."

"I see. That's all right. I'll be right over now. See you later."

"See you later."

After saying the last sentence, Akai Mari pressed the hang-up button and tilted her head towards Serabelle not far away.

Translation: Not bad acting?

Serabelle blinked and made an OK gesture.

Translation: Good acting.

So, according to the plan, Vermouth, disguised as the newly-decorated doctor, should come to pick people up in half an hour. Akai Mary pretends to be fooled by Haibara Ai and gets into the car with her, while Serabel follows behind. When they arrive at the place, they will first eliminate all the members of the organization who may be ambushing around, and then slowly confront each other.

After a while, nearly twenty-five minutes had passed since the phone call was hung up, and the doorbell finally rang at the entrance of Agasa's house.

Mary Akai came to the entrance and opened the door. The cold night air mixed with the desolate moonlight immediately seeped into the house from outside.

But surprisingly, the person who appeared at the door was not the expected young male school doctor, but a blonde female foreign teacher who spoke poor American Japanese.

"Hi~ Huibara-san, nice to meet you. I'm Ran-san and Sonoko-san's English teacher. My name is Judy Saint-Timilian. You can just call me Teacher Judy~"

Teacher Judy looked through the small opening in the door and saw the pretty brown-haired girl inside. She bent down and smiled brightly.

"Well, Mr. Arata and I are colleagues. He just sent me a message saying that there was a traffic jam and he might not be able to make it in time, so he asked me to come and pick you up to the hospital first, and he will be there soon~"

Akai Marie “…”

She knew something about this female FBI agent who was a colleague of her eldest son. Her identity should have nothing to do with the Black Organization and was "clean."

But now the other party actually spoke to me in this tone of coaxing a child... Forget it, I'll just go through with the act.

Trying hard not to look at her as if she was an idiot, Akai Mari nodded in response to her niece's voice and appearance.

"I understand. Let's go."

After saying that, he changed into his children's shoes, followed Judy out the door, got in the car and left.

Serabell sat on the sofa from beginning to end, observing the street in front of the main entrance outside the window from a hidden angle, and watched Judy and Akai Mary drive away.

Just five seconds after Judy and her group left, another private car drove past the gate of Agasa's house.

Serabelle held up the tablet and took a picture of the front part of the car. When the photo was enlarged, it could be seen that a young, handsome man with glasses, slightly curly hair and a gentle manner was sitting in the driver's seat and holding the steering wheel.

Then he switched back to the document page he had browsed before. Under the label called "Tomoaki Niide", a full-face photo was posted next to the basic information under the title. The man in the photo was exactly the same as the one taken by Serabelle a few seconds ago.

"Um……"

After the verification was completed, Serabelle dropped her tablet, picked up her phone, stood up, changed her shoes and went out. By the time she got into the black Audi parked across the street, the real-time location of Akai Mari was already displayed on the phone screen.

Starting the car, Serabelle subconsciously touched the cane under the driver's seat.

Since Teacher Judy has shown up, Shuichi Akai will probably come too, right?

It's time to give him a stick.

Chapter 358 Mary: I will just watch your performance quietly

The view changes to a port somewhere in Tokyo Bay.

As the huge ghost ship set off from its starting point, the people who came to see it off gradually dispersed. After a cooling-off period of two and a half hours, the port finally returned to its usual quietness at this time.

The dim street lights illuminate the empty road. The containers neatly stacked in the marked area look like dark, empty buildings. The cranes that roared during the day have fallen silent as the workers get off work. Above the port at night, there are only the humming sounds of waves hitting the shore and the cold wind blowing through the edges of the containers.

Then the silence was broken by the sound of car engines.

Driving in front was a red Peugeot, and following behind it was a black Toyota.

The two cars seemed to be competing on a track, always maintaining a high speed and moving forward in a straight line, just like two bikers who refused to admit defeat.

But they obviously chose the wrong track. You know, the bikers in Tokyo usually run on places like Wangan Capital Expressway, because the route is long enough and they can run as fast as they can.

But the road to the dock is not that long, at most about 400 meters, barely enough for a quarter-mile drag race.

And judging from the direction they were going, they would run off the road and plunge into the icy sea the moment they finished the race.

squeak--!

Seeing the finish line just ahead, the Peugeot, which was driving in the lead and had the advantage, suddenly slammed on the brakes. After the car body rotated 180 degrees and stuck to the ground, leaving four charred tire marks more than ten meters long, it stopped.

If there were any audience members present at this time, they would definitely not understand Peugeot's actions, and those who had placed bets might even start cursing.

They clearly had the advantage and victory was within reach, but they chose to give up at this point. Can they be considered qualified biker gangs?

Even if you win you will still rush into the sea, but...don't you bikers just like people to fight for their dignity?

Would someone who doesn't care about his own life just for the sake of racing mind swimming in the sea in winter?

But it stopped, and the Toyota following closely behind also braked and stopped immediately after noticing that the Peugeot had stopped.

The two cars that were chasing each other just a few seconds ago were now facing each other and blocking the middle of the pier road.

On one side are piles of containers, and on the other side are dark waves constantly hitting the shore.

As if they had agreed beforehand, the moment the car stabilized, both parties opened the door and got out at the same time.

The person who got off the Peugeot was a blue-eyed, blonde foreign teacher.
