In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 345

"It's almost impossible to expect these men, who follow their instincts, not to glance at a sexy beauty like Ms. Hideko Kamijou. Even if they don't dare to look on the surface, they'll still sneak a peek. It's better to let them look openly, so I don't get angry~"

"Wow!" Akiko Sayama exclaimed in surprise, then laughed, "I thought a pure and cute girl like you, Ran, wouldn't like your boyfriend looking at other women. I didn't expect you to have such a mature idea!"

"It was all taught by Yukiko-neechan—"

Xiaolan accidentally blurted out the truth, and quickly waved her hand to try and salvage the situation.

“Oh, wait a minute…”

"Huh? Yukiko?!"

"Mom... Yukiko-neechan?"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan were both shocked, and Conan was almost scared out of his wits.

Kogoro Mouri rubbed his temples, speechless. "Next time I see Yukiko, I'm going to ask her what she taught my Ran. She was so innocent and pure in high school, how come her thinking is so unhealthy now—"

Conan wondered to himself, "Could it be that Mom's thinking has become radicalized because Dad is always out socializing and playing around with women?"

Is she going to have an affair?

No, next time we meet, I'll have to subtly hint at it!

"Wait!" Akiko Sayama was even more shocked than the two of them. She covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "You're not talking about Yukiko, are you? You're talking about Fujimine Yukiko, the actress who was once popular all over the country? Didn't she marry Kudo Yusaku? You know her?"

Hmm, this Ms. Akiko Sayama seems to genuinely like the Dark Night Duke, given her extensive knowledge of information related to him!

"Yes, my mom and Yukiko are best friends. They were classmates with my dad and Yusaku, the author of your favorite novel, 'Duke of the Night,' at Teitan High School!" Maeda Satoshi was Ran's idol, and she also had a crush on his girlfriend, so she didn't hide anything from him.

"is it?"

Akiko Sayama said enviously:

"very nice!"

"Miss Akiko, would you like Uncle Yusaku's autograph?" Sonoko asked with a grin, seeing Akiko's hesitant expression. "I heard from Yukiko-neechan that Uncle Yusaku is going back to Japan soon, so we can get you an autograph~"

"Really? Is that alright?" Akiko Sayama's eyes lit up with surprise. "Thank you so much!"

"How can you call it troublesome? Your boyfriend just signed an autograph for Ran. We're just asking for one for you; it's a way of returning the favor!" Sonoko winked at Ran. "Ran, don't you think so?"

"Yes, Miss Akiko, please don't be shy~"

Getting Yusaku Kudo's autograph would be an easy task for everyone present, except for Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama.

Xia Ye smiled and said, "If you ask me, a mere autograph is really not worthy of a true fan of Dark Duke like Miss Akiko. You should have Yusaku Kudo give you a whole set of autographed Dark Duke books. Don't you think so, Conan?"

"Huh, me?" Conan pointed to his nose.

"Otherwise what?" Xia Ye said with a half-smile.

"Aren't you a relative of the Kudo family? Can't you even help with something this small? Have Uncle Mori and Sister Ran been spoiling you for nothing?"

"Fine—" Conan secretly rolled his eyes. You've already said that, how could I possibly refuse?

"I'll tell Yukiko-neechan!"

"My God!"

Akiko Sayama almost collapsed into Satoshi Maeda's arms in excitement.

From autographed photos to a complete set of signed books by the Dark Duke, it was incredibly exciting for her, a die-hard fan of the Dark Duke!

Xia Ye could understand her feelings.

Although the quality of Conan is not as good as it used to be.

But if Aoyama Gosho gave him a complete set of autographed "Detective Conan" books, he would still be happy for half a day.

And he's not even a die-hard Conan fan...

Thank you very much, Akiko Sayama.

It made everyone feel embarrassed.

Maeda Satoshi quickly took her leave, preparing to go back and rest, lest she faint from excitement.

Anyway, everyone has almost finished eating~

"Sonoko and I are going to a spa!"

Ran and Sonoko also said goodbye hand in hand, as they prepared to experience the additional services offered by the presidential suite at the Izu Hotel.

Sonoko pinched Ran's cheek and winked playfully at Natsume: "Natsume, don't worry about Ran being touched by other men, all the spa therapists are girls~"

"Go go go~"

Did Xia Ye need her reminder?

A regular, respectable hotel.

They primarily use female spa therapists so that female customers who want to experience a proper spa treatment won't feel awkward.

As for customers who want to experience unconventional spa treatments—they would have gone to unconventional shops already, why would they come to a hotel to experience one?

After Ran and Sonoko left, Natsume chatted with Uncle Mori for a while longer. Then, after checking the time, she got up to say goodbye.

"Huh? Xia Ye, where are you going?"

Uncle Mori asked, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness.

"I'll just wander around a bit."

Xia Ye would never tell him that she had been secretly given a little note, and was now planning to go over there to see if she could have a romantic encounter.

"Oh~"

Uncle Mori was already in a daze.

Xia Ye thought for a moment.

He tapped his waist and abdomen a few times with his finger.

After a while——

"Death, death, death!"

Uncle Mori, clutching his stomach, rushed towards the bathroom.

Xia Ye left with a smile. Conan had already been running around the restaurant searching for clues about the Dark Duke. It wouldn't be good to leave Uncle Mori alone here, so he had to help him sober up quickly.

.......

In an elegant bar.

Hideko Kamijou, dressed in an extremely revealing and sexy dress, sat in a booth at the bar, once again politely declining a man's advances.

At that moment, a handsome figure sat down next to her without any hesitation, picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a glass, took a small sip, and said casually, "Ms. Kamijou Hideko, what brings you here so secretly?"

"Sneaking around like that sounds awful~"

Hideko Kamijou's beautiful eyes sparkled with captivating charm as she covered her mouth and giggled, "I just wanted to chat with you, the renowned Metropolitan Police Department officer, about solving cases. After all, there are many cases in the Dark Duke series of novels~"

"Really?" Xia Ye's lips curled into a smile. "I happen to have a little time; we can talk in more detail~"

"Hehe~" Seeing that the effect was good, Hideko Kamijou said seemingly casually:

"Then we can definitely go deeper, since I got divorced three years ago and am still single."

"Your ex-husband was that Jiang Yuan Shi Nan, wasn't he?" Xia Ye smiled slightly. "You really didn't have good taste back then~"

"How did you know?!" Hideko Kamijou's mouth gaped open, her lips, painted with light purple lipstick, looking even sexier.

"Heh, he was in the restaurant just now, but he didn't glance at you once during the entire time you appeared and left—"

Xia Ye said:

"You're such a sexy and charming woman, even I couldn't help but glance at you several times, but he didn't even look at you. This means he's either been a slut or he's gay. But judging from his behavior today, he's not gay, so—"

"As expected of a renowned police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Hideko Kamijou's beautiful eyes were full of admiration. This was no pretense. From such a small amount of information, she could deduce that the guy was her ex-husband. It was even more believable that Officer Natsume said he knew the true face of the Dark Night Duke!

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she gently hugged Xia Ye's arm, leaning her upper body closer, her expression alluring as she said, "You said you glanced at me several times just now, so as payment, could you tell me who that Dark Night Duke is really? If you tell me, maybe there'll be other interesting things too~"

"Sorry—" Xia Ye decisively refused.

"I'm just here on vacation with my girlfriend, and I have absolutely no interest in these things, so you can just play the game by yourself~"

"Oh dear~" Upon hearing this, Hideko Kamijou hugged herself even tighter, her charming face close to hers, her cheeks slightly flushed, her breath sweet as orchids. "Even if you don't tell me everything, just give me (Zhao Haohao) a clue~"

"Please!"

While Xia Ye was playing a push-pull game with a cool and beautiful girl.

Two young travelers arrived at the front door of the Izu Hotel. The boy and girl were dressed in clothes suitable for the beach and carrying suitcases, preparing to enter.

The dark-skinned boy complained, "Kazuha, it's all because of you! You insisted on going to the beach, making us get back to the hotel so late!"

The cute and charming girl with the ponytail didn't tolerate him either: "You jerk Heiji, it was you who was so engrossed in looking at the swimsuit beauties on the beach that we were late, and you're blaming me? I'm not talking to you anymore!"

The boy and girl were Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama.

Heiji Hattori, annoyed by Kazuha Toyama's complaints, said impatiently, "It was you who insisted on dragging me to Izu this time, Kazuha. I was planning to go to Tokyo to challenge that so-called 'savior of the Japanese police,' Shinichi Kudo, but you've ruined it!"

Kazuha Toyama's face immediately turned red with anger.

This time, I took the initiative to ask him to come out and play, and he didn't even appreciate it, saying such things. It's infuriating! You big blockhead, do you think that a beautiful and cute girl like me is not as good as that Kudo Shinichi from Kanto?

Believe it or not—

Do you think I can find a guy better than you just by beckoning?

Yuanshan and Ye Sheng felt sullen.

Suddenly I felt a gust of wind overhead.

She quickly looked up.

A person wearing a strange cloak and an eerie mask plummeted from the sky.

He was impaled and killed on the knight statue in front of the hotel!

Blood spurted out.

The splashes even reached the feet of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, who had already walked up the steps to the entrance.

"Ah~~~~!"

A piercing scream echoed through the night sky!

Chapter 289 Her ex-husband is dead, isn't this a bit inappropriate?

In the bar.

Hideko Kamijou still refused to give up.

It clung tightly to Xia Ye, clinging to her tightly.

Xia Ye couldn't quite understand it.

Why is this woman so obsessed with the Dark Duke?

Akiko Sayama is alright.

They're here for revenge.

What is her relationship with the Duke of Darkness?

Speaking of which, why did Hideko Kamijou attend this event in the story? Natsume only remembers that the murderer in this case was Akiko Sayama, and her impression of Hideko Kamijou is only this cool and sexy dress and her perfect and charming figure under the dress.

But it doesn't matter.

Xia Ye was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Let's enjoy the benefits for now.

A full, satisfying sensation came from my arm.

Hideko Kamijou made the most of her strengths; any other man would have surrendered by now.

But she met Xia Ye, whose attitude of only taking advantage without giving anything in return made her lose patience.

So she pretended to be coquettish, leaning her upper body towards Xia Ye, and quietly slipped two sleeping pills into Xia Ye's wine glass with her slender hand.

Then they started urging me to drink frequently.
