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

Ai pouted.

In the end, her older sister softened and decided to join the tennis club to be with her.

"Ai, let's go~" Ran reminded them, "Natsume is already waiting outside~"

"Oh right, I almost forgot!"

Xiao Ai suddenly realized that she had been so focused on watching her sister's match that she had forgotten her boyfriend was still waiting at the school gate!

...

Walk out of the school gate.

Xiao Ai and her two friends spotted the red sports car parked across the street at a glance.

no way.

It's too conspicuous!

Even at the school gate, where luxury cars abound, it is definitely the most eye-catching one.

They crossed the road, opened the car door, and the three of them sat in the back seat one by one.

"Ran, I'll take you to your mom's now~" Yukiko started the car, glancing at Ran in the rearview mirror, her voice tinged with amusement. She couldn't help but laugh at what Eri had just told her—to "kidnap" Ran at the school gate and take her straight there, as if afraid Ran wouldn't go home today~

But yes.

They had clearly agreed that Xiaolan would live with her.

It's been several days, and Xiaolan hasn't even stepped foot inside her door. How can she not be anxious!

"Okay~"

Xiaolan understood her mother's thoughts, and considering that her father's cold was basically cured, she nodded and agreed.

"Well, let's go!"

Yukiko stepped on the gas.

Apollo, the sun god, quickly sped away.

.........

On the sofa in the villa.

As usual, Ai is lying on Natsume's lap playing on her phone, while Yukiko hasn't gone home yet and is currently chatting with Akemi.

Taking advantage of the free time.

Xia Ye took out the [Cheat-Type Ever-Changing Singer Badge], which was the reward for today's Newbie Village Singing God identity quest.

[Cheat-Type Versatile Singer Badge]: Wearing this badge allows you to use any voice tone and sing with perfect tuning effects, reaching at least the level of a professional singer. Note: Abilities gained through cheating are not your own. We hope you work harder and get rid of the cheat item soon!

this......

Xia Ye was somewhat conflicted.

You might say this thing is useless—but it can turn a complete novice into a professional singer.

It's not that it's useful—it's completely useless to Xia Ye!

Even the ability to use various voices was useless against him, because he knew how to change his voice!

"what is this?"

Ai put down her phone and saw Xia Ye playing with a small, silver badge. The badge featured a beautifully detailed stage, and it looked quite nice.

Xia Ye gave a brief introduction.

"Who wants it?"

"Give it to me, I just happen to not know how to change my voice~"

Yukiko didn't stand on ceremony with Natsume, took the badge from his hand, pinned it to her collar, opened her small mouth, and let out a sound—

Xia Ye's voice!

“Not bad~”

The imitated voice is exactly the same as Xia Ye's original voice, and there is no discernible difference. At least as an enhanced version of the voice-changing bowtie, this badge is acceptable.

Yukiko got a new toy and seemed determined to try out the voices of everyone she knew.

At this time.

Xia Ye looked up at the television.

A social news report is being broadcast on television.

Yesterday, Yasuo Ikeda, chairman of Ikeda Corporation, died suddenly, and his son Akio Ikeda subsequently committed suicide by jumping off a building.

The ownership of Ikeda Company is a matter of great interest to many.

However, there's really no point in guessing; the result is already quite obvious.

Yasuo Ikeda, the former chairman of Ikeda Corporation and a current member of parliament, has two sons, the eldest of whom, Ikeda Isao, has long been excluded from the line of succession.

however.

Now, the successor chosen by Yasuo Ikeda, and the successor's successor, have all passed away.

Even if he dislikes his eldest son, he has to grit his teeth and hand over all the family's resources to him, unless he's willing to give up the family's future...

It's important to know that Yasuo Ikeda's parliamentary seat is hereditary!

This is the glory of the Ikeda family as an old noble family, how could Ikeda Yasuo possibly give it up?

As Xia Ye watched Ikeda Isao, who was crying his eyes out at Ikeda Yasuo's memorial service, on the television screen, a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

What a touching scene of brotherly affection.

If this newly appointed chairman of the Ikeda Company hadn't been the mastermind behind the organization's elimination of his brother, Xia Ye might have even applauded him.

By the way——

The organization really made a killing this time.

Not only did they indirectly acquire a century-old company, but they also gained control of a hereditary seat in the Japanese Diet, further deepening their infiltration of Japan.

With such achievements, it would be unreasonable for the BOSS not to give himself and Sister Bei a sufficient reward.

"Isn't this the person who harassed Yoko?" Yukiko glanced at the TV and asked Natsume.

"Yeah, he died a really horrible death, he was smashed into a pancake." Xia Ye's expression was calm. He hadn't really tried to hide it yesterday, so it was normal for Yukiko to know that he was the one who did it.

"Oh~"

Yukiko seemed to be asking casually, and then turned around and went back to chatting with Akemi.

Xia Ye didn't pay any attention.

My thoughts returned to Ikeda Isao.

Before leaving, Sister Bei said she was going to Ikeda Isao's place to take care of some finishing work. She didn't know if she had returned yet. Moreover, Xia Ye was also looking forward to seeing how much she could squeeze out of Ikeda Isao.

........

Let's go back to the time when Xia Ye and her group took Xiao Lan to Eri's apartment.

Xiaolan took the elevator to the floor where her mother's apartment was located.

It was still early, and her mother hadn't gotten off work yet. Xiaolan took out her keys, intending to open the door and go inside, but her gaze unconsciously drifted to the apartment door across the street.

Huh?

Xiao Lan was surprised to discover.

It seems that a new resident has moved into the apartment across the hall, which was previously uninhabited.

Mom has a neighbor now!

I just don't know what kind of person this neighbor is, whether she's male or female, or whether she's easy to get along with.

2.2

Xiaolan couldn't help but worry about her mother.

However, there's no point in speculating here now.

Xiaolan opened the door and walked into the apartment. She put down her bag and went straight into the kitchen, taking out ingredients from the refrigerator to start preparing dinner.

Not long after—

Eri Kisaki drove the Mini Cooper into the apartment's underground garage and parked it in her own spot.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, a sleek, silver sports car drove past her and stopped in a parking space not far away.

soon.

A beautiful woman with silver hair styled in a bun, dressed in a sexy business suit, stepped out of the driver's seat of a silver sports car. As if sensing her gaze, she gave her an elegant yet polite smile before heading towards the elevator.

Eri Kisaki quickly got out of the car, locked the door, and followed the silver-haired woman into the elevator.

She was about to press the floor button.

But they discovered that their floor number had already been pressed!

Looking up in surprise, she saw a delicate and charming face, and heard a slightly husky and sexy voice: "Are you also going to the sixteenth floor? Then it seems you'll be my new neighbor. I'm Chris, nice to meet you~"

Chapter Ninety-Two: Sister Bay's Meeting with Xiao Lan

The woman in front of me was absolutely beautiful.

It possesses both elegance and allure.

Even Eri Kisaki, a woman who was no less remarkable than her, couldn't help but admire her.

This kind of woman is like a deadly poppy to men—and of course, the same goes for some women!

Looking in the mirror in the elevator, Eri Kisaki quietly compared herself to the woman named Chris, who was wearing a similar business suit but exuded a charming and sexy aura that made even Eri, a woman herself, unable to resist taking a second look.

But there is nothing we can do.

Both were business suits, but I was wearing a shirt properly under my blazer, and I had only unbuttoned the first button.

And this Miss Chris didn't even wear a shirt, generously displaying her beautiful figure.

As expected of foreigners, their style of dressing is indeed bold!

In contrast.

My personal style of dressing is indeed a bit conservative.

However, the nature of a lawyer's job doesn't allow for such revealing attire during work hours.

Moreover, since losing to Yukiko last time, I have stopped wearing business attire and started trying out more fashionable outfits. Even if it's a change of style, it should be done gradually!

I've thought so much.

It was really just a fleeting moment.

Eri smiled and looked into Chris's lake-blue eyes, replying, "Hello, Miss Chris, nice to meet you!"

Eri was quite satisfied with her new neighbor, who was such a beautiful woman. Although she wasn't into that type of woman, the desire to appreciate beauty is universal. Even women can find beauty pleasing to the eye!

Next.

Vermouth maintained her reserved and elegant demeanor, chatted with Eri for a few moments, and when the elevator arrived at the 1007-6th floor, she gave a slight bow and walked out of the elevator toward her apartment.

I'm about to meet "Angel," how should I face her?

Should we call Xia Ye over to lend a hand?

At this moment, even the usually calm and collected Vermouth felt a little uneasy.

Click——!

Vermouth opened the door.

I heard the sound of a door opening behind me.

At the same time, a sweet and gentle girl's voice came: "Mom, you're back! Dinner is almost ready, you... oh?"

Vermouth looked back.

The owner of the girl's voice looked at him with a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
