Chapter 1017: Did Mom cheat on Dad?
"Are you sure you don't have another daughter out there?"
Upon hearing this, Akai Mary's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked carefully at the loli with brown hair, blue eyes, and a cold temperament.
looks like?
Indeed... there seems to be a similar charm between his eyebrows, especially the indifference to the surroundings, and the sense of alienation as if seeing through the world, which is indeed somewhat familiar.
But rather than being like her, it's more like...
Akai Mari's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by a heavy hammer, and a figure with a gentle smile that had been forgotten for many years appeared in her mind - her long-deceased sister, Miyano Elena.
The outline of the child's eyebrows, especially the occasional flash of scientist's rationality and indifference to the world in the depths of his ice-blue eyes, were exactly the same as Elena's when she was young, like a smaller version carved from the same mold.
But how is this possible?
Elena has been dead for almost twenty years, this is information confirmed within MI6.
The two daughters they left behind were not of the same age.
If the eldest daughter, Miyano Akemi, were still alive, she would be an adult woman in her twenties now; the youngest daughter, Miyano Shiho, is even a few years older than Masumi, so how could she look like the loli she does on TV?
unless……
Akai Mary's expression changed unpredictably, and a guess formed in her mind: Could it be that the drug that organization was researching had more than one "successful" case?
Is this strange "rejuvenation" phenomenon not accidental?
She knew that her two nieces were in the organization, but she could not protect herself and had already withdrawn from the MI6 front line for many years. She had no ability to rescue them, and there had been no definite news about them for a long time.
Especially Shiho. That child is said to have perfectly inherited her parents' outstanding talent in biochemistry and is engaged in the most core drug research in the organization... Could it be that she is also...
Something unexpected happened.
And triggered that tiny probability of shrinking?
Just as Akai Mary fell into deep thought, Sera Masumi's eyes were rolling around, and an eighty-episode annual family ethics drama that combined melodrama, suspense, and ethics was uncontrollably playing out in her mind.
She looked at the brown-haired girl on TV who bore an inexplicable resemblance to her mother, then looked at her own mother, who was now petite and delicate, yet still "ambitious," with a childlike face and a large... well, a childlike face and a graceful figure. An outrageously bold idea was born.
Did my mom cheat on my dad?
but……
Sera Masumi touched his chin. Instead of being angry, he felt a little excited. What was going on?
There's even a faint sense of anticipation.
After all, she had never seen the legendary father Akai Tsutomu since she was born. She imagined him based on photos and her mother's description. It was her mother who played both father and mother to her, raising her and her brothers with great difficulty.
She really had no feelings for her so-called father.
If she really had a cute half-sister, she would seem... quite happy?
Finally, there is a normal, cute girl in the family who meets the public's aesthetic standards. This "tomboy" can also experience the feeling of being an "older sister".
Masumi Sera is very aware of her identity as a "tomboy" and a "tomboy", and accepts it calmly.
My mother is so unkind.
Even though she had a new father, she secretly gave birth to such a cute little sister. She hid her well and didn't even introduce her to her. It was so awkward.
Is she afraid that she, as the elder sister, will scare her younger sister?
Mary Akai had no idea that in just a few tens of seconds, her daughter had already imagined the annual family ethics drama of "the wife ran away with the ball and returned with the cute baby many years later", and even arranged a "wild man" for her out of thin air.
The green hat was also firmly put on her husband.
At this time, in order to show the reaction of the "people" at the scene, the reporter on TV swept the camera lens across the crowd of onlookers.
In the corner of the camera, a little boy wearing black-framed glasses and with a "forced to work" expression, who was mixed in with three noisy children, caught the attention of the mother and daughter.
"what?"
Masumi Sera has a very good memory, especially for faces she has seen before, she has an almost photographic memory.
She recognized the little boy immediately and pointed at the screen in surprise, "Mom, look! That kid with the glasses! He looks like the magician Kudo Shinichi, whom I met once when I was a kid in America."
Upon hearing this, Akai Mary immediately focused her attention on the little boy.
Although she had never met Kudo Shinichi in person, as a former agent, she had a basic understanding of some "famous figures" around the world.
She had an impression of the name Kudo Shinichi.
The previous speculation that "drugs may cause the body to shrink" seems to have found another strong evidence at this moment.
One "coincidence" after another makes the possibility of this speculation increase dramatically.
Mary Akai immediately took out her cell phone - although her body had become smaller, she could still use some basic resources and channels.
She quickly contacted a former colleague in MI6 with whom she had a good relationship and was tight-lipped, and asked him to help find out about Kudo Shinichi's recent situation and detailed information about "Edogawa Conan", a little boy who frequently appeared at crime scenes and was known as a member of the "Junior Detective Team".
……
Half an hour later.
While waiting for a reply, Sera Masumi was even bored enough to start trying to style her shrunken mother into various cute hairstyles.
Well, it was ruthlessly shot away...
Some non-core, semi-public information that would not arouse the vigilance within MI6 was transmitted to her mobile phone.
Looking at the information coming back on her phone, Akai Mari introduced her daughter, who was peeking in curiously, "Kudo Shinichi, a famous detective who has risen to fame in the Kanto region of Japan in recent years, is known as the 'savior of the Japanese police.'
But what's strange is that he has almost completely disappeared from the public eye since about half a year ago. He has taken long-term leave from school and no longer appears at the crime scenes where he was once active. It's like he has evaporated from the face of the earth."
Her finger slid across the screen, bringing up another blurry surveillance screenshot, showing Conan:
"Almost at the same time, a little boy named Edogawa Conan appeared in Beika Town, frequently appearing at various crime scenes and possessing astonishing deductive reasoning abilities. According to limited eyewitness accounts, his appearance... is almost identical to Kudo Shinichi's childhood."
Masumi Sera stared at the innocent little boy wearing glasses on the TV screen, curled her lips, and said firmly, "What do you mean exactly the same, Mom! Isn't this the real him? It's definitely him. Could it be... that Kudo Shinichi's mother, like you, secretly gave birth to a new brother for him?"
