I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

In stark contrast to the neon lights shining in the distant night sky, Conan's eyes were almost dull.

Xiaolan... aren't you planning to go with them...?

It was like being told that something he had been looking forward to for a long time had failed, and Conan felt as if he had been hit on the head with a club.

It may sound exaggerated, but it is the truth for Conan.

Especially since Xiaolan lost her memory, she has been living in Aunt Yingli's house and no longer has the opportunity to be together day and night. Now, even something as simple as meeting each other is only possible a few times a year.

Including this time before coming to Singapore, Conan didn't expect to meet Xiaolan at the airport at all.

But now they met as if it were fate, and they even made an appointment to meet again in the evening. Now how could I tell him that Xiaolan was not going?

This...why?

"I remember when we were having dinner, Lan said she was a little tired so she didn't want to go..."

Sera Masumi thought for a moment and gave an answer, then turned to Serabel for confirmation.

"Right, bro?"

"That's it in a nutshell." Serabelle spread her hands to show that she had no other choice. "I can't force her to come with us, can I?"

"This……"

Conan hesitated to speak, with obvious reluctance on his face.

Didi——!

At the same time, a whistle sounded not far away.

Such sounds are quite common at the entrance of Marina Bay Sands Hotel. As the largest commercial center in Singapore, it also undertakes shuttle services from the hotel to the airport.

Coupled with the recent increase in passenger flow, shuttle buses from the hotel to the airport are almost non-stop throughout the day. Just when Serabelle and others were standing here for a while, at least three or four shuttle buses drove by, all using the special lane.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to hit anyone, but based on the principle of safety first, everyone still looked in the direction of the voice.

“Ah, here it comes…”

Kuroba Chiko crossed his arms over his chest and looked sideways.

They saw Richie, who they had met at the airport, sitting in the driver's seat of a minibus with about eight seats. He drove towards them with both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. When he came to them, he braked, stopped the car, lowered the window and waved.

"Sorry, I'm late. I'll take you to my teacher now... Uh, why do two people seem to be missing?"

The ones missing are naturally Xiaolan and Vermouth.

Kogoro Mori coughed lightly. As a father, he felt it necessary to explain the situation to his daughter.

"My daughter might be a little tired from flying during the day and wanted to rest in the hotel at night, so she didn't go with us."

"The other one is not interested in the safe, so he doesn't plan to go there either."

Serabelle shrugged.

"Oh, I see..."

There was nothing much Rixi could say about this matter. He could only nod and point to the back seat through the car window.

"Then everyone, get in the car, we'll set off now."

"I'm coming."

Kogoro Mouri responded by opening the passenger door and getting in.

The seats in the back were arranged in rows of two, so Kuroba and her daughter sat together, and Akai Mary and Sera Masumi and their daughter sat together.

And Serabelle was naturally assigned to Conan passively.

Everyone got on the bus one by one in an orderly manner, and Serabel was the second to last.

However, when he got into the car and was about to close the door, he turned around and saw Conan still standing under the car, twisting his neck and looking back at the brightly lit hotel building.

After waiting for two seconds without any response, Serabel couldn't help but urge him.

"Hurry up and get in the car. You're the only one missing."

"……coming."

After taking a deep breath, Conan withdrew his gaze and got into the car.

……

Half an hour later, when the car finally stopped, the noise outside the window had completely stopped.

They came to an area completely isolated from the downtown area of ​​Singapore.

There is no bustling commercial center here, no busy streets, but only individual villas that are far apart from each other.

Quiet, even a little remote.

But this is the real wealthy area in Singapore.

There are three types of houses in Singapore: HDB flats, apartments and landed houses.

Among them, HDB flats are quite cheap, similar to affordable housing, and can be afforded by working for a few years, but the quality is poor.

Apartments are upgraded versions of HDB flats, with upgrades in every aspect, but they are much more expensive.

As for the last type of landed residence, that is, the detached villa where Serabelle and others are now located, it is completely beyond the affordability of ordinary people. Normally speaking, even if a working person does not eat or drink and works hard for his entire life, he cannot afford it.

It has reached the point where it has become a status symbol.

The style of the villa is generally European. There is no courtyard fence but there is a security booth. It seems that Richie has quite a few connections here. He drove in without any obstruction and went straight to the main entrance of the villa.

"Everyone please follow me, the teacher is waiting for us in the reception room."

After getting out of the car and following Richie into the villa, after many twists and turns, Serabelle and the others finally arrived at the reception room.

Like all the places they had passed before, the reception room of the villa was equally luxuriously decorated. A full set of sofas and coffee tables made of golden nanmu were placed on the precious Persian carpet. A man who looked quite gentle and elegant was sitting on the sofa. When he saw everyone coming, he couldn't help but reveal a decent smile.

"Nice to meet you, everyone."

"Mr. Maori, this is my teacher whom I told you about before, Mr. Leon Law."

After first telling Kogoro Mouri the identity of the man on the sofa, Richie immediately walked up to Leon and introduced Kogoro Mouri.

"Teacher, this is Mr. Maori whom I mentioned to you before. He is a great detective from Japan."

"Um……"

Leon smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on Maori Kogoro, but he said nothing.

After staring like this for about four or five seconds, he frowned slightly as if somewhat confused.

"It's so strange. I don't feel anything from you. You don't look like a famous detective at all."

"Eh? Me?"

Kogoro Mouri pointed at himself helplessly, looking bewildered.

Leon retracted his gaze and turned to Riki again: "By the way, Riki-kun, I remember you said there was a high school detective coming with you, who is he..."

"Ah, it's him."

Richie quickly walked up to Serabelle and was about to introduce her when he suddenly got stuck.

He suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the latter's name.

Fortunately, Serabelle took the initiative to step forward and extended her hand.

"Hello, Serabelle."

"Um……"

However, when Leon turned his gaze to Serabelle, his expression suddenly changed.

The hand that was stretched out habitually stopped instantly, and the whole person's movements became stiff for a moment.

But it was only a moment, and Leon regained his composure. Before he could even react, he stepped forward and held the boy's hand.

At the same time, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Illusion?

But with such a strong smell of blood... How could it be possible...

Chapter 738: The succubus Xiaolan starts to act again

"Okay, then everyone please follow me and the teacher to the security vault."

There wasn't much pleasantries. After a brief introduction, Richie got straight to the point.

Serabelle and the others naturally had no reason to refuse, after all, this was why they came here.

So everyone left the meeting room together.

But strangely, they did not go straight to the gate to leave the villa, but continued to walk through the villa and go deeper into the villa.

"Wait a minute, is the vault in this villa?"

Feeling a little strange, Kuroba Chiko, who was walking at the back of the team, quickened his pace, raised his hand and asked.

The voice came through, and Richie, who was walking in the front, turned his head, and the voice came over the heads of the crowd.

"Yes, although this is the teacher's residence, it is also the place where the teacher tests the most advanced security technology. Usually the most important security items are stored in the teacher's private residence."

"By the way—"

As if he felt that as the host, he also needed to explain a little, and Leon Law turned around and showed a confident smile.

"This villa is not only equipped with a large number of security equipment, but also with a large number of well-trained security personnel armed with live ammunition. Although they are rarely seen at ordinary times, they will be dispatched immediately if an invader breaks in. In other words, if Kidd comes to steal the gems, he must first get past them."

"Haha, really..."

Hearing this, Hei Yu Qianzi couldn't help but twitch his lips, slowed down his pace and stepped back.

Security personnel...well, security personnel, it seemed as if she was really afraid of the so-called security personnel.

If simply relying on numbers would be effective, Inspector Nakamori would have caught her long ago. Shouldn't the number of people in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department be more than that of a private security company like yours?

"You look quite confident?"

As if she had heard what she was thinking, Serabelle, who was walking in front, slowed down her pace and stepped back, lowering her voice so that only the two of them and Hei Yu Qianying beside them could hear.

“It’s hard to say~”

Hei Yu Qianzi curled his lips and his words were quite humble, but his tone was full of unstoppable confidence.

"In theory, we have to wait and see the final structure of the security facilities. However, considering that Mr. Leon Lao is so confident about the number of his own security personnel..."

"Too."

Serabelle raised her eyebrows slightly.

At least so far, the advantage in the number of security guards alone cannot clearly stop Kuroba Chiko.

However, Lyon responded to this with full confidence and pride, almost the same level of confidence and pride as when he mentioned the security facilities he invented.

So security personnel are useless = security facilities are useless too, QED.

"By the way, don't touch anything else with your hands for now. Lend them to me later." Kuroba Chiko came over and whispered.

"...What do you want to do?"

Serabelle didn't understand how a hand could be borrowed.

“Oh, stupid guy, didn’t you shake hands with that Leon before? There will be fingerprints and palm prints on your hands.”

The Phantom Thief Girl looked very disappointed.

"I'll take a backup copy when the time comes. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be useful. Thank you~"

After saying that, he made a V sign to Serabelle.

……All right.

While Serabelle and Kuroba Chiko were talking to each other, everyone had already walked through the villa and arrived at the end of the corridor.

A tall, thick, round vault door that looked like it could easily withstand artillery fire appeared in front of them.

"This is it."

Leon, who was walking in front, approached the vault door and placed his right hand on the control panel on the side.
