The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"In other words, it was actually Dr. Agasa who asked you to come."

Conan put aside his pursuit of Mr. Rin's affairs and suddenly discovered the source of all this.

"After all, such a big thing happened!" Kudo Yukiko was a little unhappy, "Or do you plan to keep it a secret from us?"

"By the way," Fujiwara Mio winked mischievously, "Yusaku-kun has already contacted those two children."

This made Conan even angrier.

He said he was a trustworthy companion, but in the end he didn't reveal any information to him at all!

"They are all very smart, and they don't look like people who would do evil."

Kudo Yusaku commented, but his expression was still a little serious, "But trust is something that still needs time to prove."

"Why don't you leave this dangerous country as soon as possible and go abroad with us to live a leisurely life?" Yukiko suggested seriously.

"Although we directed and acted in this play ourselves, if the people from the Black Organization really come one day, I'm afraid it will be even worse than this."

Kudo Yusaku echoed the advice: "As for your health, don't worry too much. I have some connections in Interpol. I'll ask them to investigate and I'll be able to get the medicine sooner or later."

"I still have some resources of the Fujiwara family that I can mobilize." Fujiwara Mio low-key moved the phone in her hand.

Conan thought for a moment.

"It would be too embarrassing to run away like this."

He adjusted his glasses, looked calmly and firmly at the three elders who were thinking about him, but still chose to refuse.

However, it was not a momentary dispute of emotion, but the result of careful consideration.

"Since you have come into contact with Huiyuan and the others, you should know that my current situation is not that bad. It is far from the point where I need to run away!"

He smiled confidently: "I am currently in the dark, and the organization cannot guess that someone would shrink under that kind of poison. The key person who uses that poison is right next to me, and a lot of information about the organization is gradually becoming clear."

"I won't let you run away like this!"

He wiped the fine marks left by the flames on his glasses, as if he could see the huge fireworks again.

"not to mention......"

Conan put on his glasses, and a calm and resolute smile appeared on his face: "I have a reason why I absolutely cannot escape."

"Shinichi!" Yukiko was rarely angry and even called him by his name.

"Forget it, just leave him alone." Kudo Yusaku smiled and pulled Yukiko.

"But let me be clear. If there is a danger that is desperate enough, I will take you away even if I have to drag you away by force."

"Husband!" Seeing that her husband not only did not stop her but instead added fuel to the fire, Kudo Yukiko pouted in resentment.

"There's nothing I can do. Shinichi has a reason why he can't escape..."

Yusaku Kudo pushed up his glasses and smiled meaningfully at Conan.

"Well, Holmes, I look forward to you finding the answer one day."

Fujiwara Mio exchanged contact information with Conan, her dark green eyes curved into a crescent: "Call Sister Mio when you need help. Although I'm married, I still have some say in the Fujiwara family."

In the end, Yukiko Kudo disguised herself as Fumiyo Edogawa and sent Conan back to the Mori Detective Agency.

"What? We're going to let Conan stay a little longer?!"

Kogoro Mouri couldn't hold back his voice anymore and cried out.

"Yes, sorry, but this kid just doesn't want to leave Japan."

"This is Xiaonan's child support." Edogawa Fumiyo took out a bank card, and Mouri Kogoro immediately smiled.

"Whenever you need money, just take it out. I've deposited 10 million yen in it."

"No way, I feel extremely honored to have such a cute child living in my house! Hahaha!" Kogoro Mouri patted his chest.

......

"Oh, I can't stand it." Yuantai sat in the passenger seat of the doctor's yellow Beetle with a look of disgust on his face.

"I came here specially for camping, but I forgot to bring the most important tent. The doctor's memory is really unreliable!"

Mitsuhiko agreed dejectedly: "What a waste of a rare vacation."

Ayumi lay behind Genta's seat and looked out the windshield: "And it seems he's lost..."

The doctor was sweating profusely. "It's because of your constant nagging that I turned here early."

This tiny Beetle, with five children crammed into the back seat, endured pain it could not possibly endure.

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were squeezed behind Genta, behind the doctor were Conan and Haibara Ai, and Chiyoko was dozing off in the middle of the four.

Fortunately, the child was small and active, and it was difficult for him to sit steadily, so he managed to sit down after squeezing together.

But Mitsuhiko and Haibara Ai were almost squeezed against the car doors on both sides.

"Can you please stop leaning towards me, pervert detective?"

Haibara Ai endured Conan's koala-like movements several times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore after the professor dug a hole in the ground.

"There's nothing I can do. Chiyo fell into a deep sleep and was pressing on me." Conan smiled apologetically and tried to retract his arms.

"You two really have no sense of companionship. You should have told me about my parents earlier."

Huibara Ai curled the corners of her lips slightly, and glanced at the great detective's resentful expression, and the irritability caused by the crowd dissipated a lot.

“Unfortunately, there is no such stance.”

"Yukiko-nee-san asked me seriously not to tell you."

"Yukiko-nee-san..." Conan muttered, "It seems like you guys were having a good chat without me knowing."

"Who knows?" Huibara Ai glanced at him lightly, leaning against the car window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Leaning slightly toward the middle, making Chiyoko's sleeping posture a little crooked, Conan saw that there were dense trees all around, and spoke with a pessimistic attitude: "It seems that I have to sleep in the car tonight."

The seats are so crowded that it would undoubtedly be a disaster if we really had to spend the night in the car.

"What?" Ayumi's face turned pale.

Mitsuhiko forced a smile: "There should be a hotel, right?"

"Yes, maybe there will be a castle by the lake!" Ayumi gave free rein to her imagination and thought of the princess in the fairy tale, feeling very envious.

"How is it possible..." Conan was embarrassed.

"It's hard to say." Huibara Ai poked his shoulder and motioned him to look out the window.

Conan turned around and felt her brown hair brushing against his face, and was stunned.

Then I followed her gaze and saw the magnificent castle outside the window.

"Is there really such a thing?" He suddenly realized that he had been careless.

The doctor drove towards the castle with great enthusiasm.

Soon, the manor gate surrounded by iron fences appeared in front of them.

Several people got off the car and stood outside the gate, and they couldn't help but marvel at the castle.

"Wow, it's spectacular!"

"Why is there such a building in the forest?"

Hearing Mitsuhiko's question, Conan held his head and guessed casually: "Maybe a rich man bought a castle abroad and reassembled it here."

Chiyoko then jumped out of the car, rubbed his eyes and stretched lazily.

“Ahhh—”

"Where is this?"

He squinted his eyes sleepily and looked at the group of people gathered outside the iron fence.

"Chiyo, are you awake?" Ayumi greeted her energetically.

The doctor's voice suddenly became panicked: "Hey, what are you doing?"

The children looked over and found Yuan Tai clinging to the railing. He excitedly climbed over the gate and said, "Of course we're going in to explore!"

Before he landed on the ground, a big hand grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

"Where did you come from, little devil?"

The hook-nosed man in the gardening hat growled viciously in his ear.

"How dare you come in here without permission!"

The doctor quickly tried to smooth things over and apologized with a smile.

"Sorry, we are not suspicious people!"

The gardener named Tian Yan Shengnan put Yuan Tai down and turned his attention to the doctor and the others.

"Hmm? Who are you guys?"

The doctor smiled apologetically, "Well, we passed by here and saw this magnificent castle. If it's convenient, could you let us visit it?"

“Go back, outsiders are not welcome here.” Gardener Tian Yanshengnan waved her hand and made a gesture to drive them away.

How rude of you to be a servant in such a mansion.

Conan complained inwardly.

A square-faced man with a middle-parted haircut walked over from a distance and asked, "Who are they? I didn't hear of any other visitors today."

"Master!" Tian Yanshengnan turned around and responded, "This old man with a silly face said he wanted to come in for a visit."

"Stupid look? Come on, I'm a well-known scientist!" Dr. Agasa retorted angrily.

"Scientist?" The man called Master touched his chin, looking very interested.

"Then your brain should be much better than that of ordinary people, right?"

"In that case, please stay here for a night. My name is Mamiya Mitsuru, and I'm the master of this house." He put on a friendly look and invited the doctor and others in.

"That's great!" the doctor was surprised.

Tian Yanshengnan seemed to not understand the air and said anxiously: "But Master, without informing the Madam..."

"Just tell her that I'm your good friend. She's not like that anyway, so there's no need to tell her too much."

Mamiya Mitsuru spread his hands indifferently.

"Like that?" Dr. Agasa repeated the word.

"He's old and a little demented." Tian Yan Shengnan closed the door perfunctorily.

Several people walked through the wide courtyard.

"so beautiful!"

"What a big yard!" The three little kids praised generously.

"Wow, there's a horse!" Ayumi ran to a horse head sculpture, her eyes shining.

"There's another black one here!" Yuantai shouted as he touched another horse head sculpture.

Mitsuhiko wondered, "But why is there only the head?"

"Because this is not an ordinary horse." With her hands behind her back, Haibara Ai explained something to the children.

"This is a knight, one of the chess pieces."

Ayumi held the horse's head and looked back in confusion: "Chess pieces?"

Conan glanced at Haibara Ai's rose-red long dress and over-the-knee tights, then looked down at his own striped long-sleeved shirt and shorts. He suddenly felt that he was wearing too little, so he put his hands in his pockets and sniffed.

Fortunately, he still had a knitted hat.

"It's not just the chess pieces. Look at the grass below."

“It looks like a chessboard, right?”

Yuantai looked down and found that the lawn was indeed trimmed into grids.

"This is what is called the taste of rich people." Chiyoko Mitsuaki said lazily, looking listless even though he had just slept all the way.

The doctor asked the gardener Tian Yanshengnan, "Is there anyone here who likes to play chess?"

Tian Yan Shengnan shook her head: "I don't know, I just follow the instructions of the previous master, Mr. Zhen Zhao, and tidy it up like this every day."

"I heard that Master Zhen Zhao also followed the last words of the master who passed away 15 years ago."

The doctor looked at Mitsuru Mamiya who was in front of the castle gate not far away and was giving instructions to the maid. "The former master? That person just now..."

"It was the lady's second husband. That happened after Master Zhenzhao passed away six years ago."

Tian Yanshengnan had a complicated expression, "Later, my wife also died in the fire four years ago."

"Fire?"

Pointing to the tower hidden behind a small forest, Tian Yan Shengnan continued to talk about the terrible past.

"Isn't there a burnt tower over there? The lady's chambers are there."

"Madam returned to Japan after many years to celebrate Madam Tai's birthday. She arrived in the middle of the night, and the fire broke out before dawn."

There was still some lingering fear in his eyes, and the doctor seemed to be able to see the flames in the sky that day through his eyes.

"Not only the lady, but also the friends who accompanied her and more than a dozen maids who had served her for a long time were killed in the fire."

"The only ones who survived were us servants who had been employed for a shorter period of time, and the Madam who caught a cold and was staying in the annex. Master Man also survived because he arrived earlier than Madam."

"Oh, and there's that guy over there." He pointed to the man squatting in front of a chess piece sculpture, studying it in the distance.

"He is the only son of Madam and Master Zhenzhao, Young Master Guiren. Young Master Guiren came back two or three days before the fire. He went abroad to study when he was young. That was the first time I saw him."

Leading a few people into the castle, Tian Yan Shengnan took them to the hall.

"Since the fire, Master Man and Young Master Guiren have been living here. They seem to be possessed by something, and their words and actions are very strange..."

Hearing this, Conan paid a little more attention.

The doctor saw that the atmosphere seemed a little off, so he smiled and changed the subject: "It must have been very hard for you when they moved in, after all, you didn't know anyone."

"Not really. Everyone has seen what Mr. Man looks like, because his wife sent him a photo when she remarried."

Walking into the lobby, he looked up and raised his hand, "And the noble young master looks exactly like the old master."

Several people followed him and looked. In the middle of the stairs on both sides of the lobby hung a giant portrait several meters long. It was the old master of the Mamiya family.

In the portrait, his dress is meticulously groomed, his hair is half-banged on the left side of his forehead, his eyebrows are somewhat straight, and he has a very classic mustache.

At first glance, he looks like a serious and rigid old scholar.

"Wow, they are very similar!" the doctor exclaimed, and then he saw two smaller portraits on the walls on both sides.

"Who are these two?"

Tian Yanshengnan introduced them very conscientiously: "It's Master Zhenzhao and his wife."

"The married-in master Zhen Zhao respected the historian Tai Lao Ye very much, but Madam did not agree with this."

"She often said to Master Zhenzhao..."

"'Dad is just an intellectual who likes to make sense.'" The old woman sitting in a wheelchair suddenly inserted herself into the group without warning.

"Right?" She could hardly open her eyes and needed reading glasses to barely recognize people. At the age of 83, the years had left too many scars on her face, which now turned into age spots.

The man who was helping push the wheelchair behind her let go of the handle and calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

"Mamiya-senpai is a towering figure in the academic world."

The familiar gold-rimmed glasses revealed his identity.

"professor?!"
