I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"As for the way to win or lose, it will naturally be decided by stealing. However, instead of having my mother steal things, we will have Kaito Kidd steal, and our Suzuki Group will be responsible for the defense."

"Then what is the goal of defense?" Sera Masumi also became interested.

"The target object is of course——"

As Yuanzi spoke, her tone suddenly became higher, and she even paused intentionally as if to whet her friend's appetite.

"Dark Star!"

"Oh~"

Sera Masumi clapped his hands in cooperation, and then changed the subject.

"Well, the name sounds cool, but what is Dark Star?"

"It's my family's heirloom!" Sonoko raised her nose proudly. "It's actually a black pearl. Since it was brought into my family fifty years ago, our family's fortune has been getting better and better, so it's also called the black pearl that brings good luck. It's not an exaggeration to say that it has a considerable part in the rise of the Suzuki Group!"

"Then our family was planning to hold an exhibition this weekend, and one of the items on display was this Dark Star. Unexpectedly, the Kaito Kidd actually sent a letter of warning saying that he was coming to steal it. My dad was so angry that he tore up the letter on the spot, and then the two sides confronted each other~"

From her tone it seemed like this wasn't a very serious matter.

But, if that's the case, why not just not exhibit it? Why not talk about it another day? Why do you have to show off a family heirloom that is so important and has something to do with the family's fortune to a thief?

A question mark slowly appeared above Sera Masumi's head.

Is this the legendary bet on a country's destiny on a sunny day?

The Suzuki Group is doing really well now, all thanks to this dark star. In that case, let's use it as a bet to fight Kaito Kidd!

In this river?

However, this is someone else's heirloom, and as an outsider, it is not easy for him to say much. Sera Masumi could only cough lightly.

"So should Bernie-chan appear next?"

"That's right!"

Miss Sonoko gave a thumbs up with an expression as if saying "The one who knows me best is Masahiro Seiryoshi."

"As long as Serah-kun can stop Kaito Kidd from stealing the Dark Star, he will be appreciated by his mother, and then... hey~"

She held up her cheeks and smiled foolishly, and it seemed that she had even thought of the name of her future child.

Well, I hope you will be interested in this matter...

Shiliang Zhenchun held his forehead and thought.

……

At the same time, in Agasa's house.

In the living room, Dr. Agasa looked helplessly at the beautiful woman who had been staring at Serabelle, looking left and right, and examining her repeatedly since she entered the door, wishing she could try her hand at cooking.

"Yukiko, this is Sera-kun..."

"Mmmm."

He was responded with a perfunctory answer from a former female celebrity who had no time to respond.

Serabelle was a little overwhelmed by such enthusiasm, and even her eyes, which were always narrowed with a determined look, opened, and she silently took half a step back.

"My name is Serabelle, and I know your son, Kudo Shinichi..."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Noticing the reaction of a certain trainee detective, the former female star laughed even more happily.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Kudo Yukiko. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Akiko. Of course, it would be better if you just call me Sister."

"..."

Serabelle remained silent. He no longer knew what expression to use to face the situation.

Fortunately, Dr. Agasa came to the rescue in time, coughed lightly from behind and changed the subject.

"So since you're back, Yukiko, Yusaku-kun should have come to Japan as well, right?"

"Who?"

Yukiko's tone was confused, as if Dr. Agasa was talking about someone she didn't know at all.

Then she seemed to suddenly remember something and waved her hand casually.

"Oh, you mean the failed mystery novelist who can only write with a pen in his hand? He didn't come, and he probably won't be here for a while."

The scientist's gray beard trembled slightly: "So who is Yusaku-kun..."

"When I came here, I brought his passport and ID card with me. I guess it's difficult for him to even go to other cities now."

Yukiko curled her lips in disdain.

"But it's good this way. Since I'm writing a novel, I shouldn't think about taking a vacation. I should just stay at home and write. I don't have to come back home drunk in the middle of the night with lipstick marks on my neck... Tsk! The more I talk about it, the angrier I get. The more I think about it, the angrier I get! I want to cheat on my husband, too! I want to cheat on my husband, too!!!"

As more and more explosive lines came out of the mouth of the outdated female star, Serabell silently took another half step back.

What a scary woman. It's better to keep your distance from her.

Chapter 46 Dr. Agasa: Young people have no martial ethics!

Fortunately, Yukiko left not long after, and left Serabelle's cell phone number before leaving.

In fact, the first thing she did when she got off the plane from the United States to Japan was to run to Dr. Agasa not because she wanted to reunite with her old neighbor and catch up with him.

The main reason is that the last time he came back was when his son Kudo Shinichi had just become smaller. After that, because he had to return to the United States, the shrunken Kudo Shinichi...that is, Conan moved into the Mouri Detective Agency again, so the key to his house was entrusted to Dr. Agasa for safekeeping.

So Yukiko actually came over just to get the keys and to complain about her husband's improper behavior.

Before she left, she also said that Serabelle was welcome to come and visit her at any time.

Oh, it is worth mentioning that the Kudo family is actually next door to Agasa’s house, and it is also a large European-style mansion.

Of course, Serabelle would never take such words seriously. After all, "courtesy" exists everywhere in this world. Normally, when you visit someone's home, as long as the relationship is not too bad, the other party will usually say welcome to come again before you leave.

But if someone really takes this seriously and goes there every day, it won’t take long for the relationship to become strained.

So don't take it seriously.

After a while, after confirming that Yukiko had indeed left, Serabell spent about ten minutes telling Dr. Agasa the second thing that she had not had time to tell due to the interruption, which was about Miyano Akemi robbing 10 billion from the bank in order to rescue her sister, and before leaving, she took out a bank card from her body.

"There are two million in here, which are Miss Miyano's...labor income. You can take it out whenever you need it. I will deposit six hundred thousand into it every month, which will be Miss Miyano's living expenses for living here."

“This is actually…”

Dr. Agasa's fat old face showed some difficulty and he wanted to shirk the responsibility.

On the one hand, after all, she is the daughter of a deceased old friend. Even if Serabel did not mention that Miyano Akemi had been persecuted by the Black Organization, Dr. Agasa would still take on the responsibility of taking care of her.

On the other hand, Dr. Agasa is a typical law-abiding citizen. The worst thing he has ever done in his life is probably downloading a few pirated songs. Asking his subordinates to take the stolen money from the bank is a bit too far-fetched no matter how you look at it.

Besides, he himself is not short of money. Having more people at home would just mean an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. For a scientist who can live in a wealthy villa area in Tokyo, this daily expense makes almost no difference whether he has it or not.

Serabelle saw what the old man was thinking and did not force him. She just shrugged and changed her words.

"Although you, Doctor, really don't care about this little money, it may not be the same for Miss Miyano. Given her personality, if she knew that you have been taking care of her and raising her for nothing for a period of time, she would probably choose to leave here directly. I think you have already seen this in the small test when we first arrived at the villa. So the question is, do you really want to put your old friend's daughter in a potentially more dangerous situation just for this little money?"

"Uh, well..."

Unexpectedly, his intentions were seen through from the very beginning. Dr. Agasa, who had been convinced in his heart, sighed helplessly, scratched the silver hair behind his head, and after hesitating for a while, he finally took the bank card.

"I see. I'll take it then."

"Well, that couldn't be better!"

The moment the bank card left her hand, Serabel's smile suddenly became bright.

Dr. Agasa was a little confused.

Serabelle smiled and gave a thumbs up. "We can't help it. After all, Conan is the type who can't tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in his eyes. I think with his ability, it won't take long for him to find out that Miss Miyano is a person related to the 1 billion yen robbery. Doctor, you have accepted the stolen money knowingly, which means you are an accomplice. If he gets angry and calls the police, even you will be implicated! I believe he definitely won't have the heart to do such a thing, right?"

"..."

After hearing this, the old doctor's eyes twitched slightly, and a mouthful of blood was still in his throat.

Young people have no moral principles! They come to cheat! They come to attack my 52-year-old comrade!

"Well, it's just a joke." Serabelle spread her hands. "Well, it's almost time for me to go. See you later, Doctor."

"Are we leaving now? Do you want to go up and tell Mingmei?" Dr. Agasa was stunned.

Ever since he knew that Miyano Akemi was the daughter of a deceased old friend, she was automatically upgraded to the status of his own daughter in his heart, and he even called her by her name as if she were his own child.

"No need... Never mind, I'll just go and tell them."

Serabelle wanted to say forget it, but after thinking it over, she stopped and turned around to go upstairs.

Du, du, du—

After three seconds of rhythmic knocking on the door, the sound of the door opening was heard in the room.

The door opened a little, and Miyano Akemi timidly stuck out half of her face.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just came up to tell you that I'm leaving." Serabelle said in a normal tone, "And Dr. Agasa already knows about your situation, Ms. Miyano. He and your father, Dr. Miyano, used to be good friends, and he's willing to keep your secret, so you can talk to him more when you have time."

"Eh? Yeah... I see."

Miyano Akemi was startled at first, then she reacted, nodded obediently, thought for a moment and added a sentence.

"And, thank you."

"Nothing, I'll go first, Ciao~"

After casually saying hello in Italian, Serabelle did not linger any longer and turned and went straight downstairs. After saying hello to Professor Agasa, she left.

After a while, the sound of a car engine starting was heard on the tree-lined path outside.

Miyano Akemi left the room and went downstairs. She looked through the first-floor window at the figure in the black Audi on the roadside outside the front yard fence. She raised her hands and clasped them in front of her chest, and murmured softly as if talking to herself.

"Road...be careful on the road."

Dr. Agasa, who was in the living room with a bucket of wall powder and a brush, preparing to repair the damage caused by the explosion, saw this scene, but did not say anything, just smiled silently.

It’s good to be young…

However, what he didn't know was that after starting the car, Serabelle did not leave immediately.

This guy sat in the driver's seat with his hands off the steering wheel, holding his phone and looking at a chat message from Sera Masumi that he had just received a few minutes ago on the screen.

There are no words, only a picture, which shows a piece of paper that has been torn into pieces and then pieced together again.

It says--

【April fool】

When the Moon Separates Them

[I will hear the name of the dark star]

【Follow the invitation of the waves and receive it】

[Phantom Thief 1412...See Part ]

???

What a mess...

Chapter 47: The Phantom Thief...Osamu Kobito?

It was evening, and when Masumi Sera returned home from school, the first thing he did when he got back to the hotel was to find Serabelle and ask her about the message she had sent in the morning.

In the living room of the suite, the girl with tiger teeth used both hands to pull the neck of the boy sitting at the dining table from behind through the back of the chair, and rested her chin on the latter's shoulder. She looked like a big cat who was begging for a hug.

Tie Tie~

"Hey, Bernie-chan, did you read the message I sent you this morning?"
