After a brief greeting, Sonoko Suzuki's gaze fell on Marie Sera.

Subaru Okiya and Mary Sera were, of course, announced in advance that they were coming.

"This must be Mr. Okiya's younger sister, she's so cute!"

"Hello, my name is Okiyazaki. I used to live in England and only recently came to Japan."

Sera Mary introduced herself in a very natural and confident manner.

Wearing Ran Mouri's skin, Qingze's gaze fell on her, and he understood what was going on.

With that height and build, there's no doubt he's the helper who appeared that night with Shuichi Akai.

It must be another fake child.

"Hello, I'm Ran Mouri." He introduced himself with a smile, then looked to the side, "This is my boyfriend, Aozawa."

Ran Mouri greeted them gently.

Hello.

The eyes of Shuichi Akai and his family of three were all fixed on "Aozawa".

The young man held the girl's hand, his eyes calm and gentle, like a piece of warm jade polished by time, its sharp edges concealed.

In the past few days, besides recuperating from his injury, Shuichi Akai has certainly not been idle.

Following the clues given by his sister, he went to Kyoto and, with considerable effort, found the hospital where Qingze was born and located the hospital's director.

He tried to inquire about the birth of the Fukuda family twenty-three years ago, but the director clearly remembered the incident but was reluctant to discuss it.

It took him a lot of effort to get some information out of the other person.

Reiko Fukuda, who is Aozawa's mother, did indeed give birth to twins, but later, only one child remained.

He couldn't find out exactly what happened.

This seems to involve the secrets of the Fukuda family. Those who knew about it were silenced, and now, many years later, the clues have basically all disappeared.

But one thing is certain.

Aside from their blood relation, Koniak and Qingze had no other entanglements.

"It's nice to meet you again, Mr. Qingze."

Shuichi Akai, disguised as Subaru Okiya, reached out his hand.

"Hello."

This time, Ran Mouri shook hands with him.

There were no unnecessary movements; their hands touched briefly before separating.

Honestly, Ran Mouri doesn't quite understand how some people can sense the calluses on someone's palm just by shaking hands.

She couldn't sense anything.

A few children ran over and whispered among themselves.

"Wow, is this Mr. Okiya's sister? She's blonde!"

"Hello, Sister Qi!"

Ai Haibara's gaze fell on Sera Mari's face, and she seemed momentarily dazed.

This was the first time she had met this person who was supposedly Subaru Okiya's sister.

Why does this face seem somewhat familiar?

And that blonde hair...

My own mother is also blonde...

Kogoro Mouri stood to the side, pursing his lips, "There are really a lot of people here."

Eri Kisaki adjusted her glasses and smiled, "It's more fun with more people."

Qingze counted the number of people in his mind.

Hondo Eisuke is absent due to other commitments, so it seems Amuro Tooru won't be appearing.

Even so, the group numbered fourteen.

It was practically a tour group.

Sonoko Suzuki probably booked half of the hot spring hotel.

Three hours later, the plane arrived at its destination, and the group boarded a shuttle bus to the mountains.

It snowed last night, and the mountains were covered in white snow, with some greenery that wasn't covered by the snow dotting the landscape, like a beautiful painting.

Before long, the hot spring resort was revealed to everyone.

This is a rather luxurious hot spring resort, occupying the entire mountaintop on its own, with wooden torii gates winding upwards along the snow slope.

The wooden houses are scattered along the mountainside, all made of dark brown logs, with black tiles that stand out against the white snow.

Not far away is the resort's private ski area, with three ski runs built along the mountainside, extending from the top of the mountain to the rest pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and the cable car is running non-stop.

We've arrived!

The car stopped, and Sonoko Suzuki got out first, introducing the car to everyone like a tour guide:

"The tavern, restaurant, tea room, and ski resort at the hot spring resort are all free of charge. There are also many open-air hot springs and private hot springs in the mountains, so please enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"

"Yay! Long live Sonoko-neechan!"

Several children cheered.

"Please check in with us." The staff led everyone into the resort.

Sonoko Suzuki booked a detached house on the mountainside, which is connected to the main building by several gravel paths.

In addition to the standard Japanese-style space, the interior also features a private garden planted with pine and maple trees. On snowy days, the garden is covered in white snow, resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting.

The private hot spring is located in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by a bamboo fence.

The room is a traditional tatami room with a spacious layout; four tatami mats can be laid out in one room.

Sonoko Suzuki quickly assigned them to three high school students, one room, while Aozawa, Subaru Okiya, and Makoto Kyogoku, three boys, shared another room.

Professor Agasa shared a room with Mitsuhiko Genta, Haibara, Ayumi, and Sera Mary shared a room, and the Mori couple shared a room alone.

There's nothing wrong with this arrangement, but Aozawa absolutely doesn't want to share a room with Sonoko Suzuki and Masumi Sera!!

Last time I went to the Suzuki house and spent an afternoon with Sonoko Suzuki, I almost killed him.

Now that several girls are sharing a room, you can imagine how much they have to talk about at night...

Change it back! It must be changed back!!

He stared at Ran Mouri, who was using his body, with a look of resignation.

Chapter 491 Is this what's going to happen?

After putting down their luggage, while everyone was tidying up, resting, and chatting, Qingze grabbed Maoli Ran and ran outside.

Several children wandered around the courtyard with curiosity, watching "Ran Mouri" pull Qingze away and run off, not understanding why.

"Where are Sister Xiaolan and the others going?"

"Should we follow them and see what they're up to?" Mitsuhiko was extremely curious about what they were going to do.

"Won't that bother them?" Ayumi hesitated.

"Let's follow them quietly." Genta also wanted to see what the two were up to.

"go!"

"What's wrong?" Ran Mouri was pulled along by Aozawa, obediently following his steps.

Qingze quickly scanned the surroundings and pulled her to a deserted pavilion.

There were some snowflakes on the railing of the pavilion. Qingze reached out and swept the snow away, then with a forceful push, he pressed the person down onto the chair in the pavilion.

Ran Mouri leaned back in her chair, her eyes slightly widened, and looked up at him, still somewhat bewildered.

Qingze placed his hands on her shoulders, looked down at her face, and took a deep breath to mentally prepare himself.

Seeing his serious expression and realizing what he was about to do, Ran Mouri smiled and waited quietly.

A moment later, Qingze closed his eyes, lifted Ran Mouri's chin with one hand, and prepared to kiss her with a death-defying attitude.

"Wow~"

From within the bushes, three heads watched their Little Lan's domineering and assertive demeanor and gasped in surprise.

I thought they came out to do something, but it turns out they just came to kiss...

The three little ones blushed and stared intently.

Suddenly, Qingze stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at the three children who had quietly followed him.

Qingze looked at them with a smile, and the smile on Ran Mouri's face was unusually kind.

The three little ones sensed danger and, realizing something was wrong, quickly ran away.

Ran Mouri, who had closed her eyes and was waiting for a kiss, opened them after a long while.

The next moment, their lips touched, and a soft, warm touch came over them. Ran Mouri slowly closed her eyes.

Although it was his own body he was kissing, it didn't seem much different from previous kisses.

Qingze felt the sweetness spreading across his tongue, more pronounced and more... irresistible than when he used his own body.

A moment later, Qingze opened his eyes, and the face in front of him was still the same face, showing no sign of wanting to switch back.

Noticing that he wasn't paying attention, Ran Mouri suddenly tightened her arms around his waist, and with a little force, easily pulled him forward, causing him to fall onto her lap.

The perspective shifts instantly.

She leaned back in her chair, while he nestled in her arms.

She wrapped one arm firmly around his waist, and gently placed the other hand behind his neck, gradually deepening the kiss.

Their bodies were very close.

want to.

I want more.

Ran Mouri felt a little hot and hugged him tightly.

Qingze felt like he was suffocating.

The embrace was a little painful, and the position was uncomfortable, so he broke the kiss, moved his legs around, and adjusted his sitting posture.

Ran Mouri, who was using his body, blushed and gripped his waist with both hands, her eyes looking somewhat dangerous.

“Aze…”

She called out softly, her eyes deep and her voice hoarse.

Qingze reached out and flicked her forehead expressionlessly.

"You think you're a bass voice?"

"..."

Ran Mouri pouted, instantly dispelling the emotions she had been building up.

She rested her chin on his shoulder, her voice sounding aggrieved.

"Ugh, it hurts so much..."

"Weren't you so curious before? Now you're feeling uncomfortable?"

Qingze showed no pity whatsoever; on the contrary, he laughed with unusual mockery.

"Waaah..."

Ran Mouri's cheeks puffed out even more.

Little did she know...

Aoze's smile deepened. He turned his face, leaned close to Ran Mouri's ear, and deliberately blew air into her ear:
