Lancer was an adult before and after he came to this world, but because he had been alone for many years, he only knew theory in some aspects and had no practical practice.

He couldn't figure out why there was such a big gap between adults and adults.

Lancer could only make himself cling to the glass like a stingray, wishing he could get both eyes into the car to see what the people inside were doing.

"System, do you have any electronic eyes that can spy on me?"

[System: Yes, there is, but the host’s current negative score status makes it impossible to try it out in advance. 】

Lancer sighed and could only cover his headphones tightly.

Although Conan noticed his strange behavior behind him, he didn't rush to disturb him. Instead, he kept observing in secret.

Lancer's expression gradually became weird, and his mouth opened in surprise, as if he had discovered something new.

What is he looking at?

Conan finally couldn't help but wanted to walk over to see what was going on, but Sera Masumi suddenly grabbed his shoulders and restricted his movements.

"Hey, Conan, what are you going to do?"

"Ah...it's nothing, just..."

Sera Masumi followed Conan's line of sight and looked over, with a look of realization on her face, and then said, "Is Conan now interested in the beautiful older brother?"

Conan was shocked: "Sister Sera, don't talk nonsense!"

He waved his hands quickly, fearing that the movement here would attract Lancer's attention, so he cautiously turned his head and glanced over there.

Fortunately, Lancer still just pressed his face against the glass, paying no attention to them.

Sera Masumi knelt down, covered her mouth with her hands, and whispered to Conan: "Conan, you also think this man is strange, right?"

"Eh? Is there any?" Conan looked surprised and asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Sera Masumi began to recall: "When I first met him, I didn't think there was anything special about him. Only the time he helped Sonoko out of trouble..."

"Huh? Then?"

"Although the posture of playing the guitar is very professional, he deliberately misses a few notes, giving people the feeling that a master is deliberately hiding his clumsiness. Moreover, the cafeteria waiter named Amuro Toru is also very strange. I always feel that he has something interesting about him. Traits that I care about.”

"Trait?" Conan's mouth twitched.

"It's just that he feels very mysterious and makes people want to explore the truth..."

Sera Masumi lowered her voice a little lower, trying to seek approval: "Don't you feel this way? Conan."

Conan, who had studied violin, marveled at her acumen. At the same time, he twitched the corners of his mouth in a dry smile, and secretly swore in his heart——

Never play the violin in front of her!

Girls nowadays are too scary, right?

However, this also made him more and more suspicious of Lancer. What was he hiding?

On the other side, Lancer had been listening to the two people in the car "reminiscing about old times" for almost several minutes.

[System: The main boss distributes sweets, this is the highest ideal of CP! Host, you are really lucky. 嘤嘤嘤~】

Lancer replied seriously: I am doing an investigation to know myself and my enemy.

[System: If your face wasn't so red when you said this, you might still be a little more convincing. 】

Hush, don't talk.

Lancer raised his index finger to his lips, making a silent gesture.

The other protagonist in the car finally spoke, but his voice sounded familiar to Lancer.

"...When did you discover me?"

"On the way here after Lancer and I got off the loop line." This was Toru Amuro's voice, which sounded like he was laughing.

Brother, don’t love me too much.

Just as Lancer was racking his brains to think about the man's identity, the face of a man who was not kind to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

He still held the pot in his hand.

So... this man is Subaru Okiya, the male college student who lives next to Haibara Ai's house?

Bourbon, you are so playful~

"Mr. Amuro's vigilance is quite high."

"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood. Do you want to taste how it feels to be hit in the face with my fist?"

"You attack someone after a kiss, like a stressed kitten... Did the other men living in your house make you angry?"

This man bit the word "other male" very hard, as if he had a personal grudge, and his tone of voice and body pressure dropped.

Other men?

Lancer's eyelids twitched, wasn't he talking about me?

[System: Unexpected? The host will also one day become an NPC in other people's stories! 】

Lancer was already used to it.

He heard Toru Amuro say to a certain man in a slightly cheerful voice: "Ho~ Mr. Subaru Okiya seems to care a lot. Do you have any objections to my new boyfriend?"

There was silence in the car for a moment, and Subaru Okiya said firmly: "So the only one who lives in your house is Lancer."

How about not?

Toru Amuro chuckled, but for the rare occasion, he did not utter any words of ridicule.

Lancer, who was eavesdropping, was confused: What does this have to do with himself?

In the singing room, Conan and Masumi Sera have begun to cooperate with the police in solving the case, and Lancer, who has been wandering outside the police station, is also forced to be arrested and act as an NPC, following Conan's arrangements like a wooden man and starting to stand.

He scratched his hair and hid the earphones, not relaxing his eavesdropping on the two people at all.

But maybe it’s because the signal in the singing studio is not very good, Lancer always listens intermittently when they talk.

"Mr. Amuro... seems to be in a bad mood?"

"...I saw an old friend...I remembered a past incident..."

The word "Tiandai" was vaguely heard from behind, and Lancer frowned in anger, but what Subaru Okiya said next was very clear to him.

"The past is like running water, and you can't chase it back in panic."

Maybe these words touched the scars deep in Amuro Toru's heart, so he didn't say anything more.

Then Lancer heard the sound of the car door opening and closing, and immediately understood that Toru Amuro was probably coming back.

Sure enough, not long after, Toru Amuro walked into the singing practice room and inserted himself into everyone's discussion without any surprise.

"It seems that you all already know the truth about this case."

Several people looked at him at the same time. Conan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Is it possible, Brother Amuro, do you already know who the murderer is?"

Sera Masaki snorted: "You are out fishing in troubled waters, do you know the identity of the murderer just by looking at the scene?"

"Of course not, you have to check the store's surveillance."

Toru Amuro has the calm and leisurely aura of a mature man, and his outstanding appearance attracts much attention. From this point of view, it is not strange for a man to appear among many suitors.

Lancer looked at Toru Amuro with interesting eyes.
