I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

The thinking along the way not only failed to calm her down, but made her even more confused.

To be honest, Serabelle is indeed quite good-looking. After all, she is the kind of beauty that Miss Sonoko fell in love with at first sight even when she was frustrated. Her straight facial features, coupled with the unique sharp aura of a member of the executive department, easily make people think of titles such as butler and deacon.

More importantly, the other party is his savior, and so far, he seems to be fine in all aspects, including his personality and behavior.

To be honest, if Serabelle wanted to, Miyano Akemi wouldn't mind trying to develop a relationship.

But now she has been struggling with this all the way. Logically speaking, it would be very rude of her not to respond for such a long time since the other person has made a serious confession of love. So, should she take the initiative to bring it up next time, or wait until Serabelle brings it up next time?

Ding dong.

Just as Miyano Akemi got out of the car in a daze, the crisp and pleasant doorbell interrupted her thoughts.

Apparently, Serabel had no intention of bringing up the past. After getting out of the car, he went straight to the gate of the villa and pressed the doorbell below the houseplate with the three big characters "Agasa's House" engraved on it.

After all, a villa is a relatively large residential building. It is impossible to walk from one end to the other in just a few seconds like a hotel room. Serabel and Miyano Akemi waited by the doorbell for a while but heard no sound from the doorbell with an intercom function.

Could it be that he went out?

The two looked at each other and continued to wait.

About a minute later, there was finally some movement in the villa.

But that was not the sound of a door opening or a doorbell ringing, but... an explosion.

boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang coming from inside and outside, Serabel and Miyano Akemi, who were waiting for the doorbell outside, only felt the ground shaking under their feet, and then a large window on the west side of the villa in front of them was shattered, and some black smoke floated out of it.

???

Why is there an explosion in the house?

Looking at the scene in front of her, even Serabelle, who was determined, couldn't help but slightly open her eyes.

"B-It exploded?!"

Miyano Akemi was so anxious that she took out her cell phone to call the police.

However, at this moment, the entrance door of the villa was suddenly opened from the inside.

He was a fat old man in a white coat, his body comparable to that of Snorlax, he wore round glasses, his gray hair and beard were mostly blackened by the thick smoke, and even his face was covered with a lot of flying ash.

It can be seen that although the other party is already over 50 years old, his steps are steady, though he can't tell left from right.

"Oh, you are the new... friends introduced by Conan. Welcome, welcome."

Dr. Agasa seemed to still be affected by the power of the explosion. He turned around in a circle and headed towards the door again. He clenched his fist into his mouth, coughed, and said seriously.

"Although Conan may have already told you, I'll still introduce myself. My name is Dr. Agasa. People who are familiar with me usually just call me Dr.."

Before he finished speaking, Miyano Akemi stepped forward with a worried look on her face and supported him.

"Don't introduce yourself at this time. Are you really okay, Mr. Agasa? Don't worry, I've called an ambulance and it should be here soon..."

"Oh, no, no."

As if to prove that he was really fine, Dr. Agasa gently pulled his arm back from the woman's hand, waved his hand lightly and laughed twice, his gray beard like clouds trembling slightly.

"It was just a minor accident during the experiment. It happens all the time."

The usual things are okay...

Serabelle couldn't help but wonder if all civilian scientists are so hardcore these days.

Chapter 44 A new wife has appeared (confirmed)

At this point, the two sides had met each other, and Dr. Agasa quickly took the two into the villa.

It stands to reason that in the Tokyo metropolitan area where every inch of land is valuable, even a regular plot of land for a single-family house of dozens of square meters would cost a lot of money. The only slightly cheaper plot would probably be the irregular and strange-shaped plot of land left in the middle or in the gaps after the whole piece of land has been divided up among multiple single-family houses.

Not to mention the quiet villa area like this one with independent houses and large yards in front of the door.

In addition, the neighboring Kaido-cho is the prosperous area in the city center. Places like Beika-cho 2-chome are completely standard wealthy areas. People who can live here are either rich or noble. Without exception, their homes are equipped with various solid wood furniture, leather sofas, etc. For details, you can refer to the scene at the sniper's house in the first part of John Wick: Chapter 6.

But in Dr. Agasa's home... pragmatism is the main theme.

Especially when Serabelle and Miyano Akemi walked into the entrance of the villa, the obvious smell of burning in the living room immediately hit them.

Looking in the direction of the window where the explosion had just occurred, there was a steel workbench against the wall. In order to prevent short circuit, a thin layer of rubber mat was laid on the table. However, this rubber mat had been burned by the previous light and heat release, leaving a large piece of damage, and the wall in front of the table was also pitch black.

But it’s not a big problem…

Because right below the workbench, there is the newly purchased white wall paint, brand new rolled rubber table mats, and even a brand new window leaning against the wall on the other side a little distance away.

It seems like he plans to replace it anytime it breaks.

Serabelle was speechless.

How should I put it... Well, it was quite prescient.

From the living room, follow the spiral staircase next to the kitchen all the way up to the second floor, and the scene immediately becomes much more normal.

There are three rooms side by side on the second floor. Coming out of the rooms is a fenced corridor with a spiral staircase. Looking down from the handrail of the corridor, you can see the scene in the living room.

Professor Agasa led the two of them to the middle room closest to the stairs. He pushed open the door, and in front of them was a very clean room with some simple furnishings inside.

A desk and chair, a full-size bed, a floor lamp, a wardrobe and of course the air conditioning that is essential for survival.

"Then Miss Yamei will live in this room from now on. As for the sheets and blankets, since Shinichi only came to tell me about it last night, I had to prepare them in a hurry. They are still drying in the yard, but they should be fine by the evening."

"Ah? I'm so sorry, thank you for troubling me, Professor Agasa..."

Hearing that the old man was working so hard for her, Miyano Akemi blushed and felt a little guilty.

But then again, who is that Shinichi?

Dr. Agasa seemed unaware of his slip of the tongue, and waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay~ It doesn't matter."

Miyano Akemi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Serabelle who calmly touched the back of her hand.

"Then Miss Mingmei, please sit here for a while. Dr. Agasa and I will go downstairs to explain some things."

"Oh...okay."

Recalling what Serabelle said to her in the car last night, Miyano Akemi immediately nodded obediently.

So she stayed in the room, while two men, one old and one young, came downstairs.

In fact, even if Serabelle didn't say it, Dr. Agasa had already planned to come down. Now that the former took the initiative to bring it up, he might as well take advantage of the situation.

Standing in the middle of the living room, Wang Lei looked up at the closed door in the middle of the second floor. The scientist with white hair and beard was the first to break the silence.

"So what exactly does Sera-kun want to tell me——"

"There are two in total."

Serabelle also withdrew her gaze from the second floor.

"The first thing I want to talk about is Miss Hirota's identity. I believe you have heard it just now, Doctor. In fact, Miss Hirota's real name is not Yamei but Mingmei, and her last name is not Hirota but Miyano."

"Miyano?"

Miyano is not a particularly uncommon surname in Japan, but Dr. Agasa seemed to have triggered some keyword mechanism, and his already round eyes suddenly became even rounder.

"You mean, her name is Miyano Akemi? What's her relationship with Dr. Miyano Atsushi?"

"In fact, they are - father and daughter."

Serabelle told the truth.

He was not surprised by Dr. Agasa's reaction. After knowing that Miyano Elena's husband was Miyano Atsushi, Serabelle did some research on him. But he didn't expect that Dr. Miyano Atsushi was actually a celebrity in Japanese society, but his reputation was slightly bad.

It's not that Miyano Atsushi doesn't have real talent and is unethical. He uses expensive health products to defraud and steal the pension of a 69-year-old comrade.

On the contrary, Miyano Atsushi can be said to be a man of considerable talent and knowledge, but his research philosophy is too extreme and is not recognized in the Japanese academic community, and he is spurned as a "devil scientist". It's a pity that his research and development direction is biological drugs rather than technological belts, otherwise he will surely be able to reach the danger level 7.0 and fight the snake-skin monster in time.

"I see, she is Dr. Miyano's daughter." Dr. Agasa was surprised and thoughtful, "If that's the case, then that means Hirota... No, Ms. Miyano's sister is also..."

"Yes, she is my biological sister. Her name is Miyano Shiho. She is probably still trapped in the organization as a core member. She is also most likely the developer of the drug that Kudo Shinichi took."

As Serabelle spoke, her eyes were fixed on Dr. Agasa's the entire time.

"But I'm a little surprised, because as far as I know, Dr. Miyano has a very bad reputation in the Japanese academic community. I thought that Dr. Agasa would show a little~ um, disgust when you heard his name?"

"Hey, that's just nonsense from those people..."

Dr. Agasa waved his sleeves and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"I have known Dr. Miyano for a long time, and we have met and communicated with each other. He is not an extremist as those people in the academic world who seek fame and reputation say. On the contrary, he is a very good person."

"Is that so? I feel relieved then." Serabelle curled her lips, "Then there is the second thing..."

He was about to reach into his pocket when another clear and pleasant doorbell rang in the entrance.

Ding Dong!

"what?"

Dr. Agasa was also slightly stunned, and turned his gaze to look towards the door, as if he couldn't figure out who would come to visit at this time.

But he still said wait a moment, then walked quickly towards the entrance in his slippers.

goo—

As the heavy security door was pulled inward with the sound of heavy door hinges, a very beautiful stranger appeared outside the door. She had long brown curly hair and an angelic face. She was in her thirties but dressed as youthfully and beautifully as a girl of seventeen or eighteen.

When Serabelle turned around, the other person was also looking around the room with his head tilted, and the tone he used to speak to the stunned Professor Agasa seemed to be extremely familiar.

"Hello, long time no see, Doctor. I just arrived in Japan from Los Angeles this morning. I heard that Arata-chan seemed to have found a new ally, so I came to check it out—"

As she spoke, her eyes swept across to where Serabelle was still standing in the living room. Her beautiful aqua-blue eyes lit up, and she walked lightly around Dr. Agasa and ran in.

"Ahaha~ Is this the kid? I didn't expect he's such a handsome boy!"

Chapter 45 Yukiko Wants to Have an Affair

The scene changes to Teitan High School.

As it is the end of March and the weather is getting warmer, the school's daily recess activities have changed from running to exercises.

It was the time when morning exercises ended after the second class. On the playground, the energetic high school students dispersed in groups on their own.

The boys walked in groups of three or four, took off their school uniform jackets and tied them around their waists to act as "power skirts", and the girls also walked hand in hand with their good friends.

The way back to the teaching building from the playground was very lively.

Miss Sonoko, who is a topic-generating machine among the second-year girls in Class B of Teitan High School, performed steadily this time. As soon as the morning exercises were over, she immediately found two classmates and shared the latest hot news she knew.

"By the way, Sera, Ran, have you heard of Phantom Thief 1412?"

"Phantom Thief 1412? I don't know..."

Xiaolan, who turned a deaf ear to the outside world and only wanted to overthrow Oma Zi-O and recreate a world with Kudo Shinichi by her side, naturally looked confused.

(Someone has calculated that the force of Xiaolan's kick to break the dagger in the pupil is about 300 tons, which is basically equivalent to Oma Zi-O's full-strength kick)

In contrast, Sera Masumi seemed to be thinking about something.

"I don't know about Phantom Thief 1412, but I do know there's one called Phantom Thief Kidd. I heard a little about him from my mom's colleagues. He seems to be a famous international thief. He first appeared in Paris years ago, but disappeared inexplicably eight years ago. He was called the Magician of the Moonlight or something like that."

"That's right! It's Him! They are actually the same person!"

Yuanzi's hands trembled slightly with excitement, as if she had mentioned her own unpopular idol and discovered that there were other star-chasing girls who shared the same interest with her.

Xiaolan continued to look confused and said, "It sounds like it's very powerful..."

"MO~ (really)" Miss Sonoko was helpless because of her best friend, "Ran, you are the daughter of a detective, how can you not know this?"

"Because it's my father who is a detective, not me." Xiaolan had a big sweat on her head.

"Forget it, don't worry about these details." Sonoko waved her hands vigorously, "Anyway, this thief has appeared again recently, and my mother plans to fight him personally this time!"

"Fight...how to fight?" Xiaolan was still confused.

She thought to herself that Aunt Suzuki Tomoko was the mistress of the Suzuki Group. How could an international thief and a noble lady, who each had their own specialties, compete on the same stage?

We can't let my aunt compete with the top 1,500 thieves in the world in stealing, can we?

"He's not the 1412th on the list of thieves. 1412 is just a code name!"

As if with telepathy and foresight, Sonoko spoke first to correct the former's conceptual misunderstanding, and then continued.
