The only thing that really bothers me about the Sera abs. is a girl theory: How is she supposed to make Ran jealous if she doesn't know that Conan is Shinichi? That would only work, if he didn't indeed develop feelings for Sera abs., and potentially join the harem. But that would be out of character.
Sera telling Ran she's met Shinichi doesn't seem likely either, it has been done.
We don't make mistakes. We have happy accidents.
Remember: A thin paint will stick to a thick paint.
Clearly, Ran and Shinichi should both join the harem (well, provisionally Conan could join it and then we'd help him get the antidote)
But you do bring up a good point...
Perhaps! Conan/Shinichi finds himself falling for new character... And Ran sees how close they are getting (doesn't matter whether new character knows Conan's Shinichi or not, could just be innocent on new character's part) and can't figure out why she's upset... Therefore leading to OMG Conan=Shinichi etc.!
If you're gonna make children join the harem, then it should be Ai, not Conan.
That would require her to subconsciously know that Conan is Shinichi. But it's entirely possible for him to get along well with Sera, without there being anything sexual between them, kinda like with Heiji.
Since Sera is apparently going to be a recurring character, it's not unlikely that she'll eventually meet Shinichi when he has taken an antidote. She would work together with Shinichi, making Ran jealous. (Kinda like Kazuha was jealous of Shinichi. )

"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge,
he sealed his fate...
Entrusting his future to the cards,
man clings to a dim hope.
Yet arcana is the means by which all is revealed.
Beyond the Beaten Path lies the absolute end.
It matters not who you are, Death awaits you."

On this page, Conan actually says 'he' so bleh, but I'll just go on to say he's come to the wrong conclusion.
If you're referring to Page 9, I specifically wrote "the business" vs. "his business" as it appears in the scanlation - just wanted to clear this up. Again, the only one who uses "he" or any other gendered pronoun in this file in relation to JKDcharacter is Sonoko.

One last thing I've deduced: why this chapter was done so fast. It's very simple, really. Abs. experienced this personally, so obviously translating would be easi-*shot*
I'd hate to get in the way of wild theories and speculations, especially from the guy who gives me work. <3 The scan's now been changed... we already revised once anyway, right?
(Although I can't see anything too unusual about Conan's behavior/facial expressions on page 9 - same mean scowl, and he seemed pretty eager to get Ran and co. away from "him").

That would be good! Except falling for Sera. But I hope Sera does have something to do with Ran finding out! Cause I was waiting for it all of last 700 chapters!
