Subaru Okiya is using a false identity; he has disguised himself. This is certain.

She suspected the other person was Shuichi Akai, but had no proof.

If Subaru Okiya's identity is fake, then this so-called younger sister, Okiyazaki, cannot possibly be her real identity.

This face must be the real face.

She took a sip of tea and then turned her gaze to Sera Masumi, who was standing alone by the window watching the snow.

The two people have somewhat similar faces, and their distinctive single folds under their lower eyelids are exactly the same.

Shuichi Akai also wears the same glasses.

These three people are probably a family.

But why does Okiyazaki's face feel so familiar?

Sera Mary sat in the corner of the sofa, her fist against her chin, and coughed softly.

Ever since she was given the drug that shrunk her size, she has had a chronic cough that cannot be cured.

Because their status is unregistered, they cannot be brought to light.

She didn't try to go to the hospital for a checkup, for fear of finding something unusual and attracting attention.

She knew that Ai Haibara in front of her had been a researcher for that organization, and that the temporary antidote for Shinichi Kudo was made by this girl.

However, she knew nothing about the girl's specific identity.

She did not intend to reveal her identity or let the other party know that she was the one who had been drugged.

She is an M16 agent with a high position within the organization. To protect herself and maintain the secrecy of her identity, she will not reveal it to others unless absolutely necessary.

Two blood relatives are in the same room: one is an aunt whose existence is unknown, and the other is a niece whose real name is known but whose appearance is unknown and whom they have never met.

It was quite a twist of fate.

Chapter 493 Fishing Triple Combo

In the tea room.

Kogoro Mouri and Professor Agasa sat facing each other, enjoying the snowy view of the courtyard outside the French windows while sipping tea. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"This is what vacation is all about."

Kogoro Mouri sighed softly.

Completely relaxed, without having to think about anything, and without even needing to spend money.

If we go to the outdoor hot springs tonight, we might even meet some beautiful girls there.

Just imagining that scene made Kogoro Mouri's eyes crinkle like broad beans, and he smiled in a somewhat lewd way.

Eri Kisaki glanced at the tea room as she walked past, her expression one of utter disdain.

She looked at Subaru Okiya and invited, "Mr. Okiya, would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

Ran said that this Subaru Okiya is an FBI agent.

The fact that the FBI agents came here with them on purpose makes it hard not to suspect their intentions.

Subaru Okiya adjusted his glasses and nodded.

The two went to another tea room.

Eri Kisaki calmly brewed a pot of tea and handed the teacup to Subaru Okiya.

"I've heard about Mr. Okiya before, but this is the first time we've met."

"Ms. Fei, you're too kind."

Eri Kisaki didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I wonder what brings Mr. Okiya here this time?"

Okiya smiled and said, "I heard that Ms. Suzuki invited everyone to a hot spring, so I shamelessly asked for a spot and came to relax."

"I thought Mr. Okiya had a job."

"I'm still a graduate student and haven't started working yet."

"It's a rare opportunity to go on vacation, I hope to relax and unwind..."

"Yes..."

……

As noon approached, the winter sun poured down without any obstruction, illuminating the snow-covered world with a crystal-clear and dazzling light.

Qingze and his group walked to the observation deck at the top of the mountain.

The viewing platform offers an extremely wide view, with a wooden platform extending outwards and surrounded by rustic railings.

Looking out from the railing, the towering mountains are covered with thick, untouched white snow, shimmering in the sunlight.

Nearby, the Japanese-style houses of the hot spring resort are scattered in a pleasing manner, with black roofs and white walls that appear particularly serene in the snow.

Wow—it's so beautiful!!

Sonoko Suzuki was the first to rush to the railing, spread her arms, and take a deep breath of the cool, clean air, her face beaming with pure excitement.

Makoto Kyogoku walked over to her, his resolute face softening with tenderness.

Looking at the expansive view before him, Qingze's brows relaxed and he said, "It's really beautiful."

From this vantage point, the entire mountain landscape is laid out before you.

He saw a lake in the villa, with wooden corner towers extending into the lake, which seemed like a good place to go fishing.

Ran Mouri also saw the lake. She turned her head to look at Qingze and asked with a smile:

"Shall we go fishing this afternoon?"

"go with!"

"I thought you were going to say you weren't going."

Qingze glanced at her sideways and said, "I've been having a bit of bad luck these past few days, but things will turn around, and I should be able to catch some fish."

"How about we have a competition?"

"...If you want me to beat you up, just say so."

Ran Mouri pulled down her lower eyelids and made a face at him.

"Hehe~"

"Going fishing?" Sonoko leaned closer and looked at "Aozawa." "I remember Mr. Okiya has always wanted to ask Mr. Aozawa for fishing tips. It seems that Mr. Okiya can get his wish this time."

True Qingze: "..."

He has absolutely no skills.

Looking at Ran Mouri, who was using his body, he smiled and said, "Yes, then let's invite Mr. Okiya along this afternoon, Azawa."

Ran Mouri suspects that Aozawa is trying to drag someone down with him because they can't catch fish.

But since he said so, of course I agree.

"it is good."

Qingze opened his phone's camera and handed it to Yuanzi.

"Yuanzi, please take a group photo for us."

Sonoko took it teasingly, "Do you want to kiss? I'll take a beautiful profile picture of you."

"..."

"Sonoko, be serious."

Qingze resisted the urge to roll his eyes and pulled Mouri Ran against the railing.

Behind me was a vast snowscape, and the sunlight poured down on my face, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere amidst the icy landscape.

The two stood very close together, their heads tilted slightly in each other's direction, and made the same peace sign with their hands.

Sonoko Suzuki tilted her head, thinking, "Why do the two of them look a bit alike?"

It's not a resemblance in appearance, but rather an unconscious similarity in actions, expressions, and mannerisms.

Is this what they mean by people who have been together for a long time developing a "couple's resemblance"?

She pressed the shutter and took a group photo of them.

Then, she did the same thing, handing her phone to her friend.

"Ah Zhen, let's take a group photo too."

After lingering at the mountaintop viewing platform for a while, the group went to the restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, Ran Mouri enthusiastically dragged Aozawa fishing.

Just as we arrived at the lake and set up the buckets and chairs, Subaru Okiya appeared.

He walked over with a fishing rod in hand and a bucket in his hand, all smiles.

"Mr. Qingze, I finally have the opportunity to ask you for fishing tips."

Ran Mouri, wearing a blue fur coat, smiled faintly, "I don't think there's any skill involved in fishing."

"Really? You don't mind if I observe and learn from you, do you?"

Before the other party could agree, Subaru Okiya had already placed a chair next to him.

Qingze glanced at him, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

Fishing with Ran Mouri?

Let me show you what it means to be:

"I cast the fishing line down, and soon a fish took the bait."

"Oh no, I forgot to bait the hook! Hey, a fish has taken the bait!"

"Ah, the bucket is full."

This triple strike of fishing will definitely make every angler question their existence.

"do not mind."

Ran Mouri smiled, picked up her fishing rod, baited it, and cast the line.

Then, I started to wait.

Subaru Okiya had come to take the opportunity to strike up a conversation, but upon seeing this behavior, he tilted his head in confusion.

"Shouldn't we feed them some bait first to attract the fish?"

If the fish don't gather together, it's very difficult to catch one by relying on luck alone.

"Need not."

Ran Mouri gently shook her head, her face, which belonged to Qingze, was calm and composed, as if everything was under her control.

Qingze gave a soft hum, then began baiting the hook and casting.

Just a few minutes after casting the fishing line into the lake, Ran Mouri's float started to move.

Ran Mouri skillfully tightened the fishing line, looking at the small fish weighing about a pound on the hook with some disappointment.

"It's a bit small."

She untied the fish, threw it back into the lake, and shook her head regretfully.

Qingze: "..."

Subaru Okiya, who had fished a few times but never caught a fish, was speechless.

Qingze blocked out distracting thoughts and focused on his fishing rod.

The winter sun is warm and comforting, and its rays shimmer on the lake's surface.

His breathing gradually became long and steady, and his overall demeanor was calm and peaceful.

Focus, quiet, peaceful.

With a clear mind, one can relax and be at ease.
