The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"You go."

Such a light sentence was said in the calmest, yet most serious manner.

It was like a light feather, without any weight, and seemed so powerless, but the moment it was spoken by Haibara Ai, it turned into a mountain pressing down on Grunfiddi.

Human beings are always good at using words to hurt others. In their long lives, they gradually figure out the skill of condensing words into a knife, turning ridicule, insults and condemnation into the whetstone to sharpen the knife. However, these three short words do not include any blade that people are familiar with.

Because it is born sharp.

Glenfiddich understood from these three words what he least wanted and most dared not to see.

......like.

Just like what he did to Haibara Ai at the Haido Hotel before, because he loved her, he felt confident in hurting her. He was not afraid to hurt herself in order to hurt her, and he felt satisfied with it.

It is precisely because Haibara Ai understood this truth at this time that forgiveness became easy for her.

Because of love, we hurt; because of love, we forgive.

She chose him.

Grunfiddie had imagined a lot of things. He thought Huibara Ai would cry, so he was prepared to become hard-hearted and not show any room for softness. He thought she would collapse in entanglement and pain, so he prepared a whole set of words to teach her - but he didn't think that she would choose him so easily.

In this mutual torture between father and son, she chose to give in.

But giving in does not mean admitting defeat. On the contrary, in this game, she won completely.

"...How could you choose me?"

Glenfiddich fell into great doubt. The drastic change of emotions caused his voice to become a little hoarse. The funny tone disappeared, replaced by an incredible murmur. A believer who had almost lost his faith confessed to the Lord.

How could she forgive him?

Yes, he killed her sister, then self-righteously gave her poison, and intruded into her new life several times without permission, bringing her fear and restless nights every night.

These natural pains seem particularly glaring after the other party gives in. Only when they separate from each other can he see so clearly the scars left by their mutual torture, and thus be judged by the blade called love.

No one could ignore these wounds, but they were once too close and hurt each other too deeply, so they couldn't see how badly they hurt each other.

When parents see their children pointing the knife of love at themselves, they suddenly realize that they are all covered with wounds.

It is like this for everyone. Only when the knife called love is pulled out can we discover the wounds it has caused.

Just like there was no resentment or regret in Haibara Ai's eyes at this moment, she just looked at Grunfiddi calmly and asked him to leave.

Glenfiddich could even see a hint of worry in those lake blue eyes.

He almost ran away, and was tripped by the ski bag on the ground when he ran out of the car door. He cursed and kicked the bag away.

Almost the next second after he left, a dark gray figure swiftly jumped onto the bus and pulled Haibara Ai down from her seat. Then a silver light flashed, and an alloy hook suddenly shot out, shattering the glass at the rear of the bus. Chiyoko held Haibara Ai around her waist in a posture that could almost be called "carrying", and huddled up to protect her from countless glass fragments. The two flew out of the bus together, rolled on the ground for several times, and finally slowly stopped, leaving their faces covered in dust.

However, one second, two seconds, until almost ten seconds passed, the expected explosion still did not happen. Chiyoko got up, a little dazed. Conan, who came quickly, was relieved to see that the two were fine, and then he also noticed that the bomb did not seem to explode.

Tomoaki Aride and Judy have already captured the robbers again and are surrounding them in an interrogative manner. The woman holding the bomb detonator also has a look of doubt on her face about her life.

"How could this happen? The remote control clearly showed that the bomb had been detonated..."

Haibara Ai got up from the ground and brushed the dust off her body. She was not in a good mood. Looking at the two guys in front of her with confused faces, she sighed slightly and looked up at the figure that had already gone away on the other side of the bus.

"You know what? He once said something to me."

"'If I don't want something to explode, even if God himself lights the fuse, all I'll get is a squib.'"

Conan was stunned when he heard that, and looked at the tall and thin black figure. The man's steps were a little messy, and he seemed a little uncomfortable with the dazzling sunlight. The moment he walked out of the tunnel, he couldn't help but raised his hands to cover his eyes.

The shrill sound of police cars' sirens came from far away and soon the Metropolitan Police Department's convoy caught up from behind. Noticing that the bus had stopped, they also pulled over. When the red and blue police lights surrounded Conan and the other two, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and raised his hand to cover them.

When he gradually got used to the light again and looked outside the tunnel, the black figure had disappeared.

The development of the case has nothing to do with the children. Chiyo Hikari used the excuse that she was injured when escaping from the bus and wanted to go back to recuperate, and went back with Haibara Ai and the children. Conan was originally planning to go back with them, but someone had to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement. He couldn't persuade Chiyo and Haibara, and the doctor had a cold, so he couldn't let the three little ones go, right?

In the end, he could only put on a fake smile and got into Inspector Megure's police car with Tomoaki Aida and Judy.

Although the bomb did not explode in the end, its nature was there, so the case was very serious. In addition, Chiyoko was also in the car, and Rin Sora-aki rarely reached out from Osaka and put a lot of pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department on behalf of the Suzuki Group. In the end, the trial and sentencing process of the three robbers was quickly completed, and they were officially imprisoned to serve their sentences, all of which were given life sentences suspended.

The whole process took less than two days.

However, it is worth mentioning that on the third day, which was the second day after they were imprisoned, three people died in prison due to a prison conflict. The cause of death was very simple and the murderer was also very clear. In the end, the person who did it was given a longer sentence and the case was left unresolved.

Almost not long after the three robbers died tragically in prison, Shuichi Akai keenly discovered that there were more and more eyes of the FBI around their base in Japan. Without much investigation, he could guess that most of them were from the Suzuki family, with some from the public security department mixed in.

This made Shuichi Akai a little worried. They had gained some results from the attack on the organization's research center a long time ago, but the results were not enough to convince those old stubborn people at the headquarters, so the funding for their operations in Japan was cut and the application conditions were much more stringent. Now they were being watched so closely, even he felt it was very troublesome.

Adhering to the principle that a strong dragon should not suppress a local snake, he informed James to let other colleagues go silent and only leave the intelligence collection channels for cases like Judy's.

The FBI has restrained its actions, and for unknown reasons, there have been almost no major operations on the organization's side. Even the bombings that were always seen have been quiet for many days. As for the Public Security Department, since Team Zero received intelligence about the Superman Project, they have acted more cautiously, and their relations with other political forces and business tycoons have become subtle, so there has been no major movement in terms of actions.

For a while, the whole of Tokyo became eerily quiet except for minor murders, and time finally changed from the hot and noisy summer to the peaceful and quiet autumn.

Jiang Gutian Psychological Clinic welcomed another special guest. Professor Lecter sat behind the desk where he always stayed, but unlike what he always did in the past, this time he did not hold the medical record and write anything, nor did he take out a profound book from the big bookcase behind him and read it quietly. Instead, he leaned back in his office chair, listening to what the figure walking back and forth in front of the desk said, and showed an interested expression from time to time.

He was apparently not impatient, because this guest was not as rude as the Kaito Crow. He called ahead to make an appointment and walked in through the front door.

"You dare not even think about it, she actually...actually told me to leave? She is absolutely crazy! I killed more than 10,000 people, including her sister... Maybe not, but she doesn't know. She should think that I killed her, but how can she..."

Glenfiddich paced back and forth in the reception room, sometimes going around to the back of the sofa chair to hold the handle, sometimes walking to the French window and dancing to express his shock.

Professor Lecter pointed at the sofa, indicating that he could sit down, but Gryffindor did not sit down. Instead, he seemed a little excited and even started swearing.

"Son of a bitch......"

"You know, now you look more like a typical American gangster." Professor Lecter didn't look at him. He took out a pen from the orange jade pen holder and kept repeating the process of sucking and spitting ink.

"Are you trying to say that you are more like those British guys? Oh, that's true. The characteristics he assigned to you are indeed from that backward and troublesome place. Do I still expect you to be like those old Italian men and have to call you Godfather?"

Glenfiddich still used that funny and sharp tone, gesticulating as he spoke, and occasionally showing a surprised expression when asking exaggerated questions, which seemed a bit mean.

"I know that you are trying to calm yourself down and return to your own nature in this way, but the anxiety will not subside. It will only make your words more aggressive." Professor Lecter was not angered by his words. Instead, he pointed out calmly and pointed to the sofa again.

Glenfiddich was silent for a while, and finally he became somewhat rational. This time he sat down and saw a cup of still warm black tea on the coffee table. He felt his throat a little dry, so he picked up the cup and drank it, then stuck out his tongue with a disgusted expression.

"I'm still not used to this bitter taste. Do you have any wine? Coffee with cream would be fine, too."

"You can get it from the kitchen yourself."

"Forget it then." Grenfiddich shrugged, leaned back on the sofa, and finally relaxed a little.

"Actually, I didn't expect that you would be the first one to come to me." Professor Lecter picked up the teapot, filled his cup with black tea, gently picked up the lid and scraped it a few times, then took a small sip and showed a satisfied look.

"I'm the first one? Shouldn't it be that little guy?"

"He doesn't count. Kaito Kidd forcibly brought him here. You know I don't like uninvited guests, so I wasn't here at that time."

Grenfiddich groaned, raised his head and looked upside down at the book "Heavenly Punishment" hanging on the wall behind him. He murmured with lifeless eyes, "I think no matter what, at least in the field of education, you should be more professional than all of us, so I came to you."

"Although that's true in terms of theoretical knowledge, I think you're a practical genius." Professor Lecter winked at him.

"Thank you. At least I can understand that you are not beating around the bush and calling me stupid." Gryffindy rolled his eyes.

"Because you are not really distressed or in pain about this, you are just pretending to come for consultation, in fact, to show off the creative growth of your gifted child."

"Sometimes I feel it's unfair." With a slight sigh, Grenfiddich returned to his usual nonchalant look and took out an orange-flavored lollipop from his pocket. "He tore himself into so many pieces, why did he give you the most useful wisdom?"

"I envy the madness he left for you. Sometimes excessive rationality can make life boring."

"...Yes, even I can't figure it out. How crazy does a person have to be to tear himself into pieces and throw him away after having almost god-like functions."

Gryffindy shook his head and suddenly laughed. He looked at Professor Lecter playfully and said in a teasing tone, "Let's guess, how long can he play an ordinary person?"

"I don't know," Professor Lecter said honestly.

If he represents wisdom and rationality, then Glenfiddich represents madness and sensibility. They are two opposite sides of human nature. Despite this, they get along well.

When a person possesses the functions of a god, his first reaction is to cut out the two opposing sides of his human nature and give them a complete life. Even more than that, he also separates his childishness and maturity and blends them into one. In addition, even his divine side is not left.

In the end, all that is left is a mediocrity.

As the wise and rational side of himself, Professor Lecter cannot understand this behavior, so he doesn't know.

"If we don't tell him, he might never find out in his lifetime that we didn't just appear after he casually wrote down the setting."

"He might find out in the next second," Professor Lecter reminded with some restraint.

"Huh? Do you expect a corpse that just woke up to have such ability? He is even imagining that he is from another world! Why does he think so? The whole world is coaxing him!"

Grunfiddie suddenly burst into laughter, a tear oozed from the corner of his eye, he wiped it away casually, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

"He must be sick!"

He said in a shrill voice.

Professor Lecter agrees.

Yes, they are definitely sick.
