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

Makoto Asai agreed to Miwako Sato's friend request, then looked at her curiously, waiting for her explanation. After all, he didn't understand anything, and this new friend should be a senior who could surely answer his questions.

"Miwako, what's going on?"

We'll talk about that later.

Sato Miwako glanced at the four virtual screens floating around her, listened to the four people chattering away, and said with a helpless expression:

"Honestly, why don't you say hello to a few of your companions first, even though you can't see them right now...?"

"what?"

Makoto Asai realized that she only knew interjections. She could understand each word in Miwako Sato's Japanese, but she had no idea what it meant when they were put together!

"As you can see, the blog friend feature includes a video function, as well as hidden features like group chat and group video. I've been video chatting with several blog holders since just now, and they all want to say hello to you~"

"and many more!"

Asai Makoto's pretty face flushed instantly, and shyness gathered in her gray-blue eyes:

"You mean, from the moment we met, you've been 'live-streaming' the whole time? Or were there several people watching the whole thing?"

"Yes~"

Sato Miwako nodded naturally, looking at Asai Makoto's rosy cheeks, and explained with a smile:

"But honestly, don't worry. All the log holders are girls. Even if they see it, it's no big deal. Just like when you went to the women's bathhouse, you didn't feel anything, did you?"

"How can these be the same!?"

Asai Makoto was getting a little frantic.

When I received treatment in the village activity room, I was half-clothed, but after returning to the Moonshadow Island clinic, my upper body was completely unbound.

Xia Ye saw that he could still hypnotize himself into believing that he was a doctor and someone who was helping him get revenge, so there was no connection.

But other people, even if they are all women, would still be very shy if they saw their bodies, okay? I'm not some exhibitionist pervert!

In the group chat.

Yukiko: Oh~ you're quite innocent!

Ai: Yeah, who has as thick skin as you?

Yukiko: Hehe, at my age, if I don't have a thick skin, how can I get along with you young and beautiful girls? Isn't that right, Ai?

Ai: Hmph!

Xiaolan: What's wrong with you two? Why are you always bickering today? You were fine yesterday!

Yukiko: Hehe, it was last night... I even gave up the person in the end, and Ai was still jealous!

Ai: Who's jealous!

Yukiko: You!

Xiaolan: Hey, aren't you two being childish? Why don't you go to your yard and have a fight?

Yukiko: So, Ran, you want me to get beaten to death by Ai, huh? I've been so good to you, and you're colluding with Ai. You think you're so great just because you're the main character? You're bullying us supporting actresses who don't even have much screen time!

Xiaolan: I didn't!

Sato Miwako rubbed her temples, looked at the group chat which had gone completely off-topic again, and sighed.

Miwako Sato: Sisters, we've gone off-topic again. Weren't you going to say hello to Honesty? He's still waiting!

Yukiko: Oh! I almost forgot!

Ai: Officer Sato, Asai Makoto can't join the group chat because he's not our friend. Why don't you just turn on your phone for a video call?

Miwako Sato: OK~

Miwako Sato took out her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and connected to Ai's video call. Three faces, some charming and alluring, others cute and adorable, appeared together on her phone screen.

"Yukiko, don't get so close to my face, are you trying to take advantage of me?"

"Hehe, so what if I take advantage of you? Your sister hasn't even said anything yet!"

"I'll pay for it!"

"Where are you touching, you brat?"

"Hehe, so what if I touched her?"

Ignoring their rather suggestive banter, Sato Miwako placed her phone in front of Asai Makoto and introduced it:

"That stunning beauty is... Yukiko Fujimine, you should have heard of her. As for the other two beauties, they are the Miyano sisters mentioned on the first page of the diary, Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano. However, they are currently using the aliases Ai Haibara and Ai Haibara, so don't call them by the wrong names in front of outsiders!"

"Hello~"

Asai Makoto greeted them somewhat reservedly, looking very nervous, appearing pitiful, weak, and easy to bully!

"Oh, honesty~"

Yukiko smiled warmly and said:

"Don't be so polite. Now that you've obtained the log, we're all on the same side. Besides, we've been wanting to meet you for a long time!"

"what?"

Makoto Asai, puzzled, asked:

"why?"

"Giggle!"

Yukiko giggled, her tone full of teasing:

"Based on the original plot, Xia Ye said that you are a boy dressed as a girl. He said that he liked you when he read the comic and was almost turned gay by 'you' in women's clothing. Hahaha, isn't that funny?"

"boy?"

Makoto Asai was both amused and exasperated.

"What kind of look is that?!"

"Yes, but Xia Ye was prejudiced. Otherwise, with his sharp eyesight, he wouldn't have missed it."

Yukiko offered a brief explanation for Natsume, and then said:

"Actually, you don't need to worry about the original plot. After Xia Ye came to this world, a lot of things changed, so don't dwell on it too much~"

"Well, I understand~"

Although Makoto Asai didn't quite understand it yet, it was a rule summarized by her seniors, so she carefully memorized it.

Where in your log are you?

Ai asked.

"I saw you and Ran watching a movie at Beika Department Store~" Asai answered honestly. She'd been too shy to look at many pages while Natsume was receiving treatment.

"That's still a long way off~"

Ai smiled slightly and gave a hint: "The following content is a bit more exciting, so take your time reading it~"

"Hmm~"

Asai nodded in agreement.

"Also, take a look at Xia Ye's identities. Do the collaborative tasks related to those identities whenever possible; the log rewards are quite good!"

Ai was very attentive in guiding Asai Makoto through the log, truly acting like a reliable senior.

Speaking of collaborative missions~

Miwako Sato interjected:

"Just now, Xia Ye treated Chengshi, and Chengshi and I didn't receive the collaborative mission notification for the Immortal Crane Needle identity. It must be because Chengshi's gunshot wound didn't meet the requirements?"

That should be it~

Mingmei thought for a moment and said, "Xiaolan's injury that time was very serious. If it weren't for Xia Ye, she would probably have been bedridden for months. Compared to that, Chengshi's gunshot wound is indeed not too serious."

"Well, we've already said hello~" Yukiko blinked and said, "Let Makoto rest first, let's go!"

"Okay, goodbye honesty!"

"Okay, goodbye everyone~"

Asai Makoto watched as three beautiful women of different ages smiled and said goodbye to him on Sato Miwako's phone screen, his mind still a little fuzzy. Was making friends really this simple?

How come I seem to have three more friends in the blink of an eye?

They're the kind of people you can really talk to about what's on your mind!

Amazing!

In the group chat of the log.

Yukiko: Let's go see a movie!

Ai: Why do you always do things on a whim?

Yukiko: Didn't Honestly mention earlier that you and Natsume went to the movies? We both have time today, so let's go together!

Xiaolan: Watching movies is fine, but horror movies are forbidden! I absolutely will not watch horror movies! Not even the slightest bit scary!

Yukiko: Don't worry, we won't watch horror movies. Natsume isn't here, what's the point of watching horror movies? Let me see, there seems to be a new movie called "Blue Kingdom" recently, I heard it's pretty good, how about we watch this?

Ai: Isn't this supposed to be a pure romance film? Xia Ye isn't here, and all of us girls from 727 are going to watch it? Do you really want to go for yuri?

Yukiko: You guys just have to say whether you're going to watch it or not. If you're not going to watch it, then you'll only have the Kamen Rider movie!

Xiaolan: Of course I'll watch! As long as it's not a horror movie, I'm fine with watching anything!

Ai: Okay~

Akemi: I don't care!

Yukiko: I'll buy the tickets now!

.........

Moon Shadow Island Wharf.

Metropolitan Police Department officers are transporting drug cartel members, who are still unconscious, onto the ship.

The bodies of Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo, and Nishimoto Ken were examined by forensic officers, placed in body bags, and transported onto the ferry.

Xia Ye stood calmly beside Manager Matsumoto, watching her colleagues work without making any move to help.

"Xia Ye, didn't you go a little too far?"

Manager Matsumoto's fierce-looking face was expressionless—though he was usually expressionless, but this time he was just more serious.

"It is indeed a bit heavy!"

Xia Ye did not deny it; his eyes were solemn as he said:

"These people have been trafficking separatists for twelve years. I don't know how many separatist drugs have flowed into the mainland through their hands, or how many families have been torn apart because of these drugs. When I think about these things, I can't help but take drastic measures. Manager Matsumoto, you have to be more lenient with me!"

"I'll take responsibility for this!"

A faint smile appeared on Matsumoto's stiff face. He could sense that Xia Ye's words were completely sincere; he truly hated those criminals from the bottom of his heart!

to be honest--

If Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't protect such a righteous and powerful young man, he would despise himself!

at this time.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga has already considered Natsume one of his own!

"Oh, right, Xia Ye—"

His smile softened further as he said gently, "My daughter, Matsumoto Sayuri, is getting married in a week. You should come too. I'll have Sato send you the invitation."

"Yes, Manager Matsumoto~"

Xia Ye was slightly taken aback. Wasn't that "The Murder Case of the June Bride"?

That Ms. Matsumoto Sayuri was almost poisoned to death, and in the end she still wanted to marry the murderer. It's absolutely shocking! I don't know how the Matsumoto manager raised her. When you go to the wedding, deal with the groom first!

Although he didn't actually have designs on Matsumoto Sayuri, she was still a beautiful woman, Ran and Sonoko's teacher, and the daughter of the kind-hearted manager Matsumoto. Helping her escape the scumbag killer was just a small favor for him!
