The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The late-returning migratory birds, with their clear and pleasant chirping, drive away the chill of late autumn and break the haziness of early morning.

Conan and the others were awakened by heavy and rapid knocks on the door.

When he opened the door in a daze, the waiter who was delivering breakfast outside ordered him with a serious expression not to go out at will, and even to eat in the room, and then notify him to collect the dishes after eating.

He was confused and finished his breakfast thoughtfully. While the servants were collecting the tableware, he looked outside the door towards the other rooms.

He happened to meet the equally confused eyes of Hattori Heiji across the street.

They were quite in sync as they both chose to observe the situation when collecting the tableware, and they happened to meet at the same time.

What happened?

Conan took out his cell phone and decided to call Mr. Rin, the host, to ask about the situation. However, the call did not go through, so he had to call his good brother Hattori instead to see if they could brainstorm and come up with some results.

"Hey Kudo, what do you think is going on? I see that the expressions of the people in the mansion are very tense, and the atmosphere seems to be very tense."

"I'm not sure... Could something have happened? I couldn't get through to Mr. Rin."

"Why don't we run out and take a look? There are no security nets on the windows of the rooms here. As long as we move quietly and don't get noticed by the servants outside the door, it should be fine." Detective Hattori Heiji suggested out of curiosity and a little worry.

Conan thought about it and decided that if something unexpected really happened, there would be no point in waiting here, so he agreed.

The two of them bent their bodies, using the green plants that were everywhere in the yard to hide their figures, and soon met beside the rockery pond.

"Look, their expressions are really scary, right? It's as if something big has happened." Hattori Heiji said, pointing at the servants who were still guarding the door of their room.

"Just like the scandalous commissions we received in the past regarding the homes of wealthy people."

Conan pondered and felt more and more that his detective intuition was accurate.

Something extraordinary must have happened last night in the Fujiwara family's manor, which was so great that a prominent family like the Fujiwara family would put aside their dignity and forcefully place them under house arrest in the room.

This sense of déjà vu is just like what they did to the suspects in the case before!

Thinking of the unreachable call to Mr. Rin, Conan's face became even gloomier.

"Let's go and take a look at Mr. Rin's room." He called to Hattori Heiji, and they followed the stone path to avoid the servants' eyes and went around to the other side of the building complex.

The two of them sneaked to the window of Lin Chiyu's room. Because of the poor terrain, the window here was about two meters from the ground.

"I'll lift you up and you use your cell phone to take pictures of what's going on inside." Hattori Heiji made a prompt decision and lifted Conan onto his shoulders while keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings to help him keep watch.

Conan didn't refuse. He now only had a bad feeling, and it was a very strong one.

When he got closer to the window, he saw the scene inside.

As the young master of the Fujiwara family, Rin Shakuha's room is not very luxurious. On the contrary, it is a very simple room. The wallpaper is a calm light gray. In addition to the bed and bedside tables against the wall, there is only a computer desk and a vertical mahogany wardrobe.

At this time, Lin Chiyu was sitting in front of the computer desk, lying on the table, looking like he was sleeping soundly.

But Conan's expression did not relax, but became more solemn.

The location of the computer desk was very tricky. It was not next to the window, but rather offset. In addition, the computer blocked the view, so Conan couldn't see Rin Chiha's condition clearly. He could only barely see half of her profile. He reached out and pushed, but as expected, the window failed to open as it was locked from the inside.

So he took out his cell phone and took several photos.

"what!"

A beautiful ragdoll cat suddenly jumped onto the windowsill, stuck to the glass window, and broke into the camera of his mobile phone, scaring the nervous Conan.

Hattori Heiji caught him quickly, preventing him from falling directly on the cobblestones.

Conan was still a little shocked.

But he vaguely saw a bit of arrogance and contempt in the cat's eyes?

It must be an illusion. How can a pet cat have so many expressions...

"What's the situation?" Hattori Heiji asked him.

Conan shook his head, his tone heavy, and handed him the phone: "...I'm afraid this is the worst case scenario."

In the photo, although only half of Rin Chiyu's profile can be seen, the paleness on his face and the purpleness of his lips are very clear.

"This... cyanide poisoning?!"

As an experienced detective, Hattori Heiji immediately realized what this look meant. His lips trembled unnaturally, and he was somewhat unbelievable.

"Brother Lin... this is impossible?! He was fine when we separated last night!!" He just felt it was ridiculous.

He has also experienced many incidents that happened in wealthy families and seen many embarrassing things happening in famous families, but when such things really happened around him and the protagonist became a familiar friend, his usually calm detective heart was inevitably shaken.

"We can't jump to conclusions like that. Maybe Mr. Rin is just overworked and has passed away..." Conan said this without any confidence. After all, everything was fine before they parted last night, and Mr. Rin's condition was also very stable.

In fact, the martial law situation in the mansion says it all.

Conan took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and began the analysis that he was best at as a detective.

If it really is the worst case scenario, then all they can do is to tell Mr. Lin the truth.

"The window was locked from the inside, and there was a ragdoll cat in the room. Judging from this, the door should have been locked as well, otherwise someone in the mansion would have gone in and chased the cat out to prevent it from causing any damage."

"From the time point of view, the people here should have discovered the scene not long ago, at least no more than half an hour, otherwise they should have obtained the spare key and entered the room."

"That is to say, at least on the surface, this is a secret room!"

Hattori Heiji finally calmed down and focused on the photo, and began to reason with them: "Although the window is locked, the curtains are not drawn. Does Rin-san have the habit of not drawing the curtains before going to bed?"

"It's hard to say, but I think the crime didn't necessarily happen before going to bed. It could also have happened when he woke up. Look at Mr. Lin's posture. His hands on the table are very unnatural. It doesn't look like he was lying down to rest after playing computer games. He was originally standing, but suddenly lost his strength and sat on the chair, and then he lay down. This is a very uncomfortable posture. If he was conscious, he wouldn't be like this."
