Mingyue glanced at the curtain on the wall, opened the door and saw Shiina Arisa standing at the door. She was wearing a yukata, her cheeks were rosy, and she was holding a pillow in her arms.

"Yiji, I'm scared to be alone." Shiina Arisa winked at Mingyue.

Mingyue looked around and saw no one in the corridor, so she let Shiina Arisa into the room and closed the door gently.

Shiina Arisa said cautiously: "I often sleep with Ikihime, so..."

Mingyue made a gesture to keep quiet, and Shiina Arisa quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound. The familiar voice of Princess Hosou sounded in Shiina Arisa's ears.

"Go to my bed and rest for a while. You have a fever."

Arisa Shiina looked at the soft big bed. There was actually no problem with two girls sleeping there, but she was still a little hesitant. After all, the person in front of her was not her childhood friend - Princess Hosou.

"Don't we often sleep together?" Mingyue said with a smile, and took Shiina Arisa's hand and walked to the bed. After placing Shiina Arisa on the bed, he took a wet towel and put it on Shiina Arisa's hot forehead.

"Get some sleep."

Shiina Arisa shook her head, "I'll take care of you."

"You're sick, how can you take care of me? Get well soon." Mingyue sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window. The weather was really cold.

Arisa Shiina's eyelids were twitching, but she eventually couldn't resist the sleepiness and slowly closed her eyes.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Shiina Arisa, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up and looked towards the door with a look of nervousness on her face.

"I'll go open the door, you just lie down and wait." Mingyue got up and opened the door.

Kudo Shinichi, who was outside the door, turned his head and looked around. Seeing that the door was opened, he quickly went into the room and smiled and whispered, "I guessed that you didn't rest. I came here because I have something important to discuss with you." However, his eyes fell on Shiina Arisa on Mingyue's bed, and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect Shiina-san to be here."

Shiina Arisa tried to stand up, but her body swayed involuntarily from side to side.

"Do you have a fever?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Shiina Arisa who was not in a good mental state.

Mingyue Banyue looked at Kudo Shinichi and said coldly, "Why don't you go find your childhood friend?"

Kudo Shinichi was slightly stunned, watching Mingyue stuff two pillows behind Shiina Arisa, and scratched his cheek with his fingers in embarrassment. He knew that it was a bit strange for him to be here, so he explained: "Well, actually, I just came from Xiaolan's place. Because something unexpected happened, I had to come here to discuss something with you."

"Perhaps what we are doing now has been discovered by one of the three people." Mingyue sat on the bed, looked at Kudo Shinichi, and asked, "Have you told Maori-san?"

Kudo Shinichi pulled a chair over and sat down, shaking his head and glancing to the side unnaturally. "Although Xiaolan is very worried about Baosheng's physical condition, I didn't tell her."

After all, Xiaolan is not the kind of person who can keep secrets, and she is invited by Shirigata Shaonan, and she is in competition with us, so it is not good for Xiaolan to say too much. Kudo Shinichi thought so in his heart, and glanced at Mingyue, and found that Mingyue was looking at him inquiringly.

"Although I don't object to you doing this, is it really okay for you to hide this from your childhood?" Mingyue asked, thinking that if you, Kudo-kun, told Mori Ran about this, I might not inform you of what is going to happen next; if you really didn't say anything, then this game could continue.

Shiina Arisa, who was standing by, looked at Mingyue and nodded in agreement, "I think there shouldn't be any secrets between young friends. I and Yiji are like this. We can talk about anything."

Kudo Shinichi scratched his hair in annoyance, "After this is over, I will explain it to Xiaolan, and she will definitely understand me." After weighing the pros and cons, Kudo Shinichi asked Mingyue a very critical question, "Auntie Hibiki has never seen you, so she must not know. But Mr. Suzumiya...should we tell him?"

Mingyue recalled that Suzumiya Yoruichi had been staring at her in front of the fireplace, and a bad premonition came over her. She looked at the curtains on the wall and remained silent.

"I think we should tell Suzumiya-sensei." Shiina Arisa suggested in a low voice, "It is said that Suzumiya-sensei often goes to the hospital and has asked the doctor about the situation, so..."

Mingyue and Kudo Shinichi looked at each other, and they both understood the hidden meaning in Shiina Arisa's words: Suzumiya Yoruichi knew the physical condition of Princess Hoshinoya, so Suzumiya Yoruichi might have guessed from the beginning that Princess Hoshinoya who appeared here was a fake.

"Kudo, what do you think?" Mingyue threw the question back.

After a moment of contemplation, Kudo Shinichi whispered, "I think we shouldn't tell Mr. Suzumiya yet. As for the reason." Kudo Shinichi grinned, revealing a confident smile, "Whether we tell it or not, Mr. Suzumiya will not take the initiative to reveal the truth. Maybe Mr. Suzumiya came here to investigate the two poisoning incidents."

Mingyue Banyue looked at Kudo Shinichi and said in her heart: Mr. Detective, not everyone wants to be a detective. And is Suzumiya Yoruichi really here to get his mother's notes? What kind of notes are those?

What is the Gaia's Bottle of Life? What is the heritage that is called the treasure? Why is there a battle for the heritage?

What made Mingyue even more puzzled was this villa full of mechanisms and secret passages, and the door curtains with different plants painted on them at the door of each room.

"Don't tell Mr. Suzumiya for now." Mingyue said softly, "I'm actually very curious about the new transfer student, Aoi Jabami. Do you two know him?"

However, both Shiina Arisa and Kudo Shinichi shook their heads.

"Your childhood friends have been invited to this place by the other party. Don't you know anything?" Mingyue Banyue looked at Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi also looked at Mingyue with a pair of half-moon eyes, "It's too incongruous to say such words with such a voice."

"Really?" Mingyue still spoke in the voice of Princess Baosheng.

Arisa Shiina nodded frequently, seeming to agree with what Kudo Shinichi said.

Mingyue spread her hands helplessly, looked towards the curtain on the wall, and whispered, "After all, walls have ears. It would be bad if someone else heard it."

"By the way, do you have signal on your cell phones?" Kudo Shinichi asked seriously.

Shiina Arisa quickly took out her cell phone to check, "No signal! What should we do? We can't contact the outside world."

Mingyue didn't take out her phone, but directly stated her guess: "I think there should be a landline here."

"Yes, but the landline is in the housekeeper's room. Xiaolan told me this."

Hearing this information, Mingyue was not surprised at all and nodded slightly, "It's quite useful information."

The corners of Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched.

"Which room is the housekeeper's?" Shiina Arisa held the phone tightly in her hand, looking very uneasy.
