Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 531 Do I Look Like an Foolish Person? Sonoko's Invitation

"We're going out."

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko went out together.

Meanwhile, their neighbors, Akiba Reiko and Kawabe Kanade, were still fast asleep.

After all, the two of them talked about Kitahara Natsuyu all night yesterday and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn, so they are not awake yet.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko encountered Sera Masumi and her daughter Sera Mari in the elevator.

When the three women met, they started chatting without realizing it, leaving Kitahara Natsuyu standing to the side.

But this is a good thing for Kitahara Natsuhiro. Sometimes when women talk about you, they might not say anything nice, but rather something bad.

Soon after, the four of them arrived on the first floor and then went their separate ways.

Kitahara Natsuhiro went to school with Sera Masumi, while Sera Mari went for a run, and Yonehara Akiko drove Kitahara Natsuhiro's car towards Beika Town.

Since Kitahara Natsuhiro's car was just gathering dust in the underground garage anyway, he simply let Yonehara Akiko drive it, and the sports car he won at the Tokiwa Zaibatsu last time was also given to Yukiko to drive.

Now, Kitahara Natsuhiro only has one bicycle left.

Sometimes he would ride his bicycle to work.

However, the apartment is not too far from Teitan Elementary School, so there is no need to use a bicycle at all.

"Teacher Kitahara, what do you think of the outcome of this matter?" Sera Masumi suddenly asked as they walked down the street.

"The result? What result?" Kitahara Natsuyu was completely stunned.

He was still thinking about what he would do after he went to Teitan Elementary School, but Sera Masumi suddenly asked him a question that caught him completely off guard.

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi looked helpless: "I mean, what do you think of the outcome of the Domoto Concert Hall incident?"

This incident is now being referred to as the Domoto Concert Hall bombing, and it continues to escalate.

It's likely that this Domoto concert will not be held.

After all, the whole of Japan already knows about it; it's become a major event. Even if the Domoto concert continues, those who go will have to think twice, lest they end up dying young after attending a concert.

It's not worth it, it really isn't worth it!

“Let’s watch it lying down.” Kitahara Natsuyu said casually, “This matter has nothing to do with us anymore, and even if there is a trial, it’s just a matter for the prosecutor.”

However, when it came to prosecutors, he thought of Reiko Kujo.

I haven't seen Reiko Kujo for a while because she's been too busy and isn't pregnant.

It's all Conan's fault! Ever since the Conan era began, there have been an absurd number of cases, and the prosecutors are incredibly busy.

So Reiko Kujo doesn't have time to come see Natsuhiro Kitahara anymore, let alone get pregnant.

Even if she were to become pregnant, Reiko Kujo probably wouldn't be able to stop working, because she is the sole heir of the Kujo family.

She was destined to be the woman who reached the highest level of prosecutorship.

Ai Haibara was absolutely right; a prosecutor's daughter is still a prosecutor.

However, this is a good thing for Kitahara Natsuhiro, since he has his own people in the prosecutor system.

In addition, he also has his own people in the legal profession, such as Eri Kisaki.

Looking back, Kitahara Natsuyu realized that he now had an absurdly large network of connections.

However, these connections are generally not needed; if they were to be used, it would mean the destruction of Japan.

After all, if Kitahara Natsuyu couldn't handle it, let alone someone with Kisaki Eri's connections.

Direct destruction would be even simpler and more direct.

"Don't you care about this at all?" Sera Masumi asked, her voice filled with anguish.

According to their detective logic, since Kitahara Natsuhiro solved the case, he should follow it to the end and even pay attention to the final result.

But Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't care at all, which drove Sera Masumi, the detective, a little crazy.

This guy.
"Why should I care?" Kitahara Natsuyu curled his lip. "I'm not a detective, I'm not interested in these things."

"Compared to these things, I'm more interested in beautiful women."

"."

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi regretted saying those words to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

She shouldn't have said those things to Kitahara Natsuyu at all, since all he cared about were women, beautiful women.

I'm not interested in anything else at all.

She really wasted her breath.

She vowed that she would never talk about these things with Kitahara Natsuhiro again; it would be much more interesting to tease Conan.

“If you really want to know what happened next, I can give you Reiko’s phone number, and you can ask her yourself.”

"Ms. Reiko Kujo?"

"Yes, she's a prosecutor. This case will go to them. If you want to know, I can give you her phone number so you can ask her yourself."

“I don’t care about the final result, and I can see it on TV anyway,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

He was neither a detective nor a prosecutor, and he didn't care what punishment the criminals would ultimately receive.

He might help out if the criminal doesn't receive the punishment he deserves.

He wants to be surrounded by good people!
"Teacher Kitahara, Sera!"

Just then, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Sera Makoto heard Ran's voice in their ears.

"Ran, Conan, good morning."

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Sera Masumi both responded with a single sentence.

Then Sera Masumi went to talk to Ran and Conan about something.

The things she would talk about were naturally related to the case, since that's all a detective can talk about.

However, while Sera Masumi was talking about these things, she kept asking Conan questions, making Conan very uncomfortable and even a little annoyed.

After all, Sera Masumi can fish, but fishing like this is going too far. Do you think I'm stupid?

So, to avoid looking foolish, Conan lagged behind the two women and refused to walk with them, letting them talk about their own things.

Sera Masumi looked at Conan, who had fallen behind, and couldn't help but think to herself, "Conan is ignoring me."

"It's infuriating, but I'm pretty sure now. It won't work if you ignore me. But to get the stubborn Conan to admit it, we'll need some evidence."

"We need evidence to speak for ourselves."

"Once I produce the evidence, Conan will have no way to continue denying it."

However, as soon as Conan shrunk, Yukiko intervened immediately, along with Professor Agasa and Vermouth.

Now that Conan's identity information is complete, he has nothing to fear from Sera Masumi's investigation.

Therefore, Sera Masumi cannot find any loopholes in this regard, which means she has to wait for Conan to admit it himself.

As for getting Conan to admit it himself, that's absolutely impossible.

Compared to Conan's head, his mouth is even tougher!

Therefore, Conan will absolutely not admit to this.

"Um..." Conan looked at Kitahara Natsuhiro, hesitating to speak.

Ever since he reached an agreement with Kitahara Natsuyu, he'd had some questions for him, but he didn't know how to bring them up. Perhaps Kitahara Natsuyu knew something about the Black Organization, so he wanted to ask, but he was afraid Kitahara Natsuyu wouldn't tell him.

So I'm torn about this.

“Ask whatever you want!” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

"If I ask you that, will you tell me the truth?" Conan asked hopefully.

The next second, Kitahara Natsuhiro's answer made Conan's face freeze: "No."

"Why?" Conan asked, looking puzzled.

They finally managed to get a clue, but Kitahara Natsuyu refused to say anything, which was too much.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu chuckled and said, "Didn't you say that the process of being a detective is about finding the answers yourself? If I help you, wouldn't that ruin your fun?"

"I'm the kind of person who loves helping others succeed, so I won't interrupt your investigation. Good luck!"

"I believe you can."

"It's possible that you can't do it, but you'll grow gradually and you can still become a high school student."

"I wonder what Xiaolan was doing back then," Kitahara Natsuyu said with a grin. "Xiaolan should have been twenty-eight years old by then."

"Tsk tsk, time really flies. I really have no idea what Xiaolan is doing at twenty-eight.

Upon hearing this, Conan was struck dumb.

Yes, Xiaolan is eighteen now, and I will be eighteen in ten years. Xiaolan's time is also moving forward, so when he is eighteen, Xiaolan will be twenty-eight.

Will Xiaolan, now 28, still wait for him in her current state?

Even Conan himself isn't sure.

Because people change, even the individual changes little by little.

So he really wasn't sure what Xiaolan would be like at twenty-eight, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Kitahara Natsuhiro had seen Ran at twenty-eight years old. She was already a mature adult, very charming, and she was wearing glasses. She had also rejected Dr. Araide's marriage proposal and was still waiting for Shinichi Kudo.

Such a thing might not exist in reality, but it's certainly one in a million, let alone childhood sweethearts who haven't seen each other for ten years.

Sometimes, Aoyama goes too far in his portrayal of childhood sweethearts, making it seem a bit unrealistic.

On the contrary, the kind of thing that's real is the kind of thing that's like the garden.

Even after meeting Makoto Kyogoku, she would still look at other boys and even have other thoughts.

However, Kyogoku Makoto is also to blame. With such a wealthy girlfriend, he ended up going abroad to study and fight against other masters.

Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't know what to say about this.

Ultimately, it's everyone's own choice, so it's best not to comment on his statement casually.

"I was just kidding, how did you suddenly become like this?" Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Conan looked at Kitahara Natsumi with a resentful expression and said irritably, "What joke? You did it on purpose. You said it on purpose."

"You're really awful!"

"Terrible?" Kitahara Natsuyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it really okay for you to talk about your teacher like that?"

"Or are you saying you want to copy the school rules again? Are you starting to miss them?"

"Please don't!"

He no longer wanted to copy school rules and such.

Moreover, my mom was also punished by copying the school rules back then.

Even now, Yukiko still talks about this with Kitahara Natsuhiro.

She felt that Kitahara Natsuhiro did it on purpose.

Believe it or not, Kitahara Natsuhiro really did it on purpose!

"That's good." Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Then you should work hard to find clues!"

"Sometimes it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help, and sometimes the answer is right beside you; you just have to explore it yourself."

"Sometimes the answer is right beside us?"

Conan pondered these words for a moment, then looked up as if to ask a question, but stopped himself after seeing Kitahara Natsuhiro make a gesture.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I'll find the answer myself!" Conan said.

Anyway, Kitahara Natsuhiro won't tell me even if I ask, so I might as well save myself the trouble.

Good morning, young lady, little devil, and gentleman!

Just then, another familiar voice entered her ears, and unsurprisingly, it was Sonoko.

Yuanzi wasn't affected by yesterday's events at all; she was still laughing and joking as usual, which is very typical of Yuanzi.

"Good morning, Sonoko." Ran greeted him with a smile.

"Hehe." Sonoko chuckled, "After I got home yesterday, my mom told me that the Yatsudai Zaibatsu is planning a cruise trip. Do you guys want to come along?!"

Cruise trip?

A conspiracy above the horizon?
After all, the mention of the Yatsudai Zaibatsu and cruise ship travel inevitably leads to the conspiracy in the theatrical version of Horizon Zero Dawn.

This gave the audience another chance to see explosions.

The entire cruise ship was blown up and eventually sank to the bottom of the sea.

Ran almost drowned, and Conan and Kogoro Mouri almost died as well.

“The Aphrodite?” Kitahara Natsuhiro uttered a name.

Upon hearing the name, Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know? I haven't even told you yet!"

"Furthermore, the name of the cruise ship has not been officially announced; it's only circulating within the Eighth Generation Zaibatsu, and it hasn't even been finalized yet. How did you find out?"

She was a little disappointed. She had originally planned to give everyone a surprise, but half of the surprise was told to her by Kitahara Natsuyu.

I'm a little annoyed!
“Aphrodite? Isn’t that the goddess of love and beauty?” Sera Masumi said.

"That's right, it's the goddess of love and beauty. The Yatsudai Zaibatsu really likes this title, but it hasn't been officially confirmed yet."

"However, based on the current information, it is almost certain that this is the name."

“Then all the social elites of Japan will go back. I also heard that they invited the former prime minister and his wife.”

"Ooka Momiji's grandfather?" Ran asked.

"No, that was the prime minister before him."

Ooka Momiji's grandfather was a prime minister, but not in his previous term, let alone this one; he was the one before that.

After all, he is no longer young, and he rarely appears in public now, let alone participate in the cruise ship trip of the eighth generation of zaibatsu.

After all, their own family is a conglomerate!

Most importantly, the Suzuki zaibatsu also contributed money!

“Sure, since it’s your invitation, Sonoko, I’ll definitely go.” Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled and then texted the women.

Send to all groups!
