In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 296 I'm Sorry (22)

"It's totally okay!"

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi hurriedly spoke loudly.

She realized that what Akikawa Sosuke said was equivalent to agreeing to her request in disguise.

A great feeling of joy and hope began to surge in Sera Masumi's heart.

She suddenly realized that Akikawa Sosuke was much more reliable than she had imagined.

"Can you tell me the basic information about the person you suspect?"

Akikawa Sosuke asked.

"That person's name is 'Okiya Subaru', he's a squinty-eyed guy wearing glasses."

"The other party probably stayed at the Kudo Shin's house in Beika-cho a few months ago."

"Through various clues, I always feel that this person is very likely my eldest brother."

"But after several contacts, I didn't find anything new."

Akikawa Sosuke: “.”

After hearing Sera Masumi's description, Akikawa Sosuke felt speechless.

Originally, he didn't know Okiya Subaru mentioned by Sera Masumi.

But since Sera Masumi said that Okiya Subaru was living with Kudo Shinichi, it was almost like marking Okiya Subaru's forehead with the words "There's something wrong with this guy."

Akikawa Sosuke had never met Okiya Subaru, but based on a few words from Sera Masumi, he could guess that even if the so-called Okiya Subaru was not Sera Masumi's elder brother, he must be involved in a very important case.

"I see."

Akikawa Sosuke nodded again.

Anyway, Sera Masumi didn't want him to contact Okiya Subaru right now.

What Akikawa Sosuke admires most about Sera Masumi is that she is very smart and will do many things on her own without Akikawa Sosuke asking her to do so.

Having never had any contact with Okiya Subaru, there was no way I would rashly come into contact with the Okiya Subaru they were talking about.

This behavior is like shouting loudly in front of everyone, "Everyone follow me."

This is a very dangerous and stupid behavior.

But Masumi Sera is able to realize this very well.

Akikawa Sosuke could see that Sera Masumi was also worrying about how to naturally connect with Okiya Subaru.

Moreover.

I just saw the hesitation and confusion on Sera Masumi's face when he first opened his mouth.

Akikawa Sosuke knew that if he agreed to the other party's request, Sera Masumi would definitely feel very guilty in his heart.

For Akikawa Sosuke, this was just a task that he could complete at any time.

So there is no harm in accepting it for Akikawa Sosuke.

Because Masumi Sera is smart enough, he is able to realize the risks that will arise after coming into contact with Subaru Okiya.

And before this handsome detective works hard to completely avoid these risks for himself, he doesn't need to take any action.

Just as Akikawa Sosuke guessed.

When Sera Masumi saw Akikawa Sosuke nod, a look of joy flashed across her face.

And then, an even more conflicted and apologetic expression appeared on that pretty face.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Akikawa."

"I clearly promised to help you before, but in the end I have been getting help from you unilaterally."

Masumi Sera apologized to Akikawa Sousuke with an apologetic look on his face.

But what Sera Masumi didn't know was.

Akikawa Sousuke never provided information to Sera Masumi unilaterally.

Just like what she revealed to Akikawa Sosuke at Tokyo Big Sight, the progress in solving the case seemed insignificant to her and had no meaning to Akikawa Sosuke.

Instead, it became the basis for Akikawa Sousuke to establish contact with Kaito Kid and for the organization to suspect Amuro Toru. Sera Masumi's intelligence gathering ability as a detective, as well as the content obtained through the detective brain after on-site investigation and intelligence integration, can often provide Akikawa Sousuke with good intelligence.

After hearing Sera Masumi's introduction, Akikawa Sousuke also became interested in the "big brother" that Sera Masumi mentioned.

"By the way, how is your relationship with your brother?"

Akikawa Sosuke asked.

After he opened his mouth, he noticed that Sera Masumi became obviously more interested.

"Although my eldest brother is a little serious most of the time, I know that he still cares about me very much in his heart."

"So that's it."

Akikawa Sosuke nodded.

This is another very good clue.

Since the elder brother that Masumi Sera mentioned really cares about Masumi Sera, and there is no hostility between them.

Then it is not without meaning for Akikawa Sosuke to help Sera Masumi to identify the identity of his elder brother.

At least according to Masumi Sera's description, the elder brother is superior to Masumi Sera in both brainpower and martial arts, which is very attractive to Akikawa Sousuke.

After a while.

Masumi Sera and Sosuke Akikawa's discussion about Subaru Okiya also came to an end.

After getting the verbal promise from Akikawa Sosuke, Sera Masumi also became noticeably more cheerful.

She didn't expect that the matter she was originally struggling with was actually agreed to by Akikawa Sosuke so easily.

Even if Akikawa Sosuke nodded in agreement, it does not mean that Akikawa Sosuke will definitely be able to see something from Okiya Subaru.

But Masumi Sera is very confident in Akikawa Sousuke's abilities.

And as long as Akikawa Sosuke can find some clues that he has not found, Sera Masumi will feel satisfied.

After receiving help from Akikawa Sosuke many times, Sera Masumi did feel a little ashamed in his heart.

So she began to turn the conversation to Akikawa Sousuke.

"By the way, Mr. Akikawa, have you found your next job?"

Masumi Sera always felt that Akikawa Sousuke's career as an artist had not been smooth.

So I asked with some curiosity.

"Well, it's confirmed."

"We filmed a variety show in a villa in Gifu Prefecture in early April."

Akikawa Sosuke looked at the detective in front of him who had no awareness of his own disastrous attributes, and answered.

"Gifu Prefecture! I heard the scenery there is very beautiful, surrounded by mountains and lush forests. The environment must be very pleasant!"

Sera Masamune smiled.

"What plans do you have for that time?"

"I should have started school by then, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get over."

Sera Masumi said with some regret.

She thought that Akikawa Sosuke was definitely inviting her to come over by asking her this.

Masumi Sera himself was also in high spirits.

It’s a pity that although the filming day of the variety show that Akikawa Sorasuke participated in was on the weekend, she had other things to do during those days.

There is no way to run to Gifu Prefecture, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Tokyo.

"Oh."

Akikawa Sosuke felt relieved after hearing this.

As long as we can avoid the detective, nothing should happen.

What he was worried about next was whether a certain elementary school student who looked like a death god would inexplicably run into the mountains and meet him again, and then cause another murder.
