The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"professor?!"

Conan cried out in surprise.

But the three little ones were faster than him.

"Ah, it's the big brother from that day!"

Ayumi shouted happily.

"What big brother that day?" Conan was confused.

"We went to Dorobiga Land to play before and got lost in a tunnel. It was this big brother who took us out. You hadn't transferred to this school at that time!" Ayumi explained to him.

"Hello again, kids." Professor Lecter smiled kindly.

Huiyuan Ai quietly leaned close to Conan's ear and whispered, "Is this the professor who knows your identity?"

Conan nodded sheepishly.

After all, it was because of his carelessness that he exposed his identity in front of the professor.

After getting his confirmation, Huihara Ai understood and continued to whisper: "If before you only suspected that he had nothing to do with the organization, then now you should be 80% sure that he is not a member of the organization."

"why?"

"If someone from the organization was nearby, I would definitely have a premonition." Haibara Ai was so sure.

Conan grinned.

You two are both trying to teach me about metaphysics, right?

He glanced at Chiyoko, who was yawning and looked like she was about to collapse, and quickly put the thought behind him.

"Professor, are you here for a medical consultation?" He asked, as he had indeed met this professor quite often in recent days.

Professor Lecter nodded: "Mr. Mamiya is very concerned about the old lady's condition, so he asked me to come and see if I can improve the old lady's mental state."

Over there, the lady was chatting with Tian Yan Shengnan in a chattering manner.

"Ma'am, Ma'am!"

"The master also knows about this, and he is not angry, but very happy!" The lady pulled her cheek and smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of unpleasant things." Tian Yan Shengnan quickly bent down and smiled apologetically.

"There's no need to apologize," the old lady turned her wheelchair and faced the old master's portrait with a look of nostalgia, "I've gotten used to the days when he's not around."

"Just like the changes in banknote patterns and passport size, you may not be used to it at first, but as time goes by, you will get used to it without realizing it."

She sighed and said, "Time is terrible. All joys, sorrows, anger and happiness will disappear with it."

After a moment of sadness, she seemed to have just discovered the doctor and his men. She asked in confusion, "By the way, who are they?"

"He's a scientist friend of the master." Tian Yan Katsuo answered according to what Mamiya Mitsunori said.

"Scientist?" The lady muttered incoherently, "Oh, how enviable."

"Then we must ask them to solve the mystery left by the old master..."

"Mystery?" said the Doctor dully.

Tian Yanshengnan turned her head and said, "I heard that the old master left a will before he died, saying that he wanted to give his treasure to the person who solved the mystery of the castle."

"That's it."

The old lady suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream, holding the armrest of the wheelchair and pretending to get up to look for her, "Oh, my daughter hasn't arrived yet?"

"Didn't she say she would come back today to celebrate my birthday?"

Tian Yan Shengnan didn't know how to answer, so she could only smile awkwardly.

Professor Lecter stood behind Conan, and seeing that he was thinking about something, he chuckled and walked away.

Haibara Ai withdrew her gaze from that person.

Chiyoko came up to Conan, looked at the crazy lady, and said casually: "It seems that she was stimulated by her daughter's death. No wonder she had to hire a psychologist. I'm afraid she can't leave this castle, right?"

Conan nodded when he heard this, but he was more concerned about something else.

"Hey Chiyo, don't you think it's strange that the old lady calls the old master? Normally, old couples like this would call each other by their names or something like 'the child's father', right? Why would they use the servant-like term 'old master'?"

"Greek milk." Chiyoko shook her head flatly.

"I've never been married, and I don't have any children."

"Hey, hey, I've always heard from your parents..." Conan choked and fell silent.

"Feel sorry."

"uh-huh."

Chiyoko didn't care.

The lady over there had already started to shout impatiently: "Zhen Zhao! I want to go back to my room!"

Professor Lecter forced out a helpless expression: "I don't know why, but the lady seems to have mistaken me for her dead daughter's ex-husband."

He grasped the wheelchair handle and pushed the lady away.

Before leaving, the lady was still shouting at Tian Yanshengnan: "As soon as she comes back, ask her to come to my room. I'll be waiting for her there!"

Tian Yanshengnan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"She's been like this since the fire." He turned to complain to the Doctor.

"It looks like he was really quite stimulated."

Conan tugged at Tian Yan Shengnan's sleeve and made him look over.

"Uncle Gardener, is there a room where you can see the chess set in the courtyard?"

"That's true."

Soon, he led everyone upstairs to a room with a wide view.

"Wow, great!"

"The chess pieces are so neatly arranged!" The children lay on the windowsill, looking at the "chessboard" downstairs excitedly.

"Where is it? I can't see anything!" Genta squeezed forward desperately, pushing Conan's head down.

Conan had no choice but to withdraw, since he had already drawn the chessboard in his notebook.

Mitsuhiko's voice came from another window: "You can see it from this room too!"

"Really?" Yuantai quickly ran out and went to another room.

Haibara Ai looked at his back, silently moved closer to the window, and stopped in front of Conan who was sitting on the ground reading a book.

"Great."

"Ah?" Conan came back to his senses and first saw a pair of white legs wrapped in pantyhose, and then saw Haibara Ai slowly leaning down, almost getting in front of him, with their noses almost touching.

"Is this your favorite code?"

The girl stared straight into his sky-blue eyes with a unique cold voice.

Seeing Conan standing there without any response for a long time, she tilted her head and her tone became a little doubtful.

"Isn't it?"

Conan didn't dare to move, and said dryly: "Well, I guess so..."

Chiyoko walked over without being able to understand the atmosphere and yawned.

"I heard that if two people look at each other so closely, they're usually going to fight."

Only then did Huibara Ai stand up straight.

Conan was ashamed: "How is it possible?"

"What are you two doing?!"

Ayumi suddenly shouted loudly, somewhat urgently.

“You’ll fall down!”

The three of them then walked to the window to see what was happening.

Conan leaned out of the window and saw Genta hanging on the edge of the window with a terrified look on his face. Mitsuhiko was holding on to his arms with all his might to prevent him from falling.

"I'll go over there." Chiyoko opened the door and walked out. She soon appeared at the window and pulled Yuantai up.

His expression looked quite relaxed, Conan was stunned.

Is this guy so strong?

Fortunately, Yuantai was safe and they quickly arrived at the room over there.

Conan first checked to make sure that Genta had no scars on his body.

This kid was also lucky not to be scratched by the wall tiles outside.

But preaching is inevitable.

"Are you an idiot? You dare do something as dangerous as climbing through a window!"

Yuantai stood there sullenly and was criticized.

But Conan knew that this guy was simply "knowing he was wrong, but would do it again next time."

After calming down a little, he suddenly noticed a detail.

This room is the same as the previous one, with windows against the wall.

But from the outside, there was obviously a long distance between the two windows.

Where does such a thick wall come from?

He walked to the wall and knocked on it, feeling the hollow texture and smiling knowingly.

There is indeed a secret passage!

So he began to run around the room, moving chairs and books, and building himself a small ladder to touch a clock on the wall.

Chiyoko couldn't help but complain beside Haibara Ai: "Talking about Genta, I think this kid is a bear himself."

Haibara Ai just snorted lightly, and it was unclear whether it expressed her agreement.

In just the time it took to talk, the chair fell down with a clang, and Conan's figure disappeared right under their noses.

Chiyoko narrowed her eyes and said, "Is there really such a thing as a secret passage?"

Haibara Ai walked forward, straightened the chair, folded the books again, stepped on it, and prepared to turn the hands of the wall clock like Conan just did.

Before she could make any further move, she was stopped by Mamiya Nobuhiro outside the door.

"No, you can't mess around!"

Haibara Ai was startled and almost fell down, but fortunately she quickly stabilized. Seeing Mamiya Nobuto push open the door and come in, she weighed the pros and cons and jumped off the chair.

Mamiya Nobuhito returned the chair and the book to their original places.

The doctor's voice also came from outside the door. He stuck half of his head out: "What's wrong with the children?"

Mamiya Takato replied casually, "It's a prank."

"Prank?" The doctor looked for Conan but found nothing. He had to look at the other two fake children who were the most capable.

Haibara Ai lifted the hair beside her ear and sweated slightly.

"Edogawa is missing."

Ayumi was the first to react: "Really? Really! Where did Conan go?"

Tian Yanshengnan came over and guessed, "Maybe he went to the bathroom, which is downstairs."

Yuan Tai complained: "You should have told me if you wanted to go to the bathroom, really."

Several people walked downstairs.

Haibara Ai followed behind, her eyes still on the wall clock.

Chiyoko looked past her and said softly, "That guy won't be in danger that easily."

He waved the detective badge in his hand.

"Besides, there is this, isn't there?"

Haibara Ai was persuaded by him and felt a little relieved.

If Kudo was in trouble, he would probably contact them using his detective badge.

Everyone followed Tian Yan Shengnan to the bathroom on the first floor.

"strangeness......"

Tian Yan Shengnan opened the door and looked, but did not see Conan.

"Not in there."

The doctor asked Mamiya Takato: "Are there any other toilets?"

He shook his head: "This annex is rarely used, so this is the only room."

Yuan Tai smiled evilly with his crescent eyes: "Could he be hiding somewhere, preparing to scare us?"

"It's possible!" Mitsuhiko agreed with this view, "Conan is sometimes quite childish."

The Doctor watched them discuss heatedly and didn't know what to say.

You guys are the real kids...

"It seems that their understanding of Kudo is quite interesting." Chiyoko joked.

"Maybe the great detective is just that childish." Huibara Ai glanced at him sideways.

A servant came up behind Mamiya Nobleman, "Master, dinner is ready."

Mamiya looked at his watch and said, "It's already so late!"

He bent down with his hands on his knees, smiled and said to the children, "I have prepared your share as well. Do you want to eat together?"

Yuantai's eyes widened and his saliva flowed out unconsciously.

"Really? Are there any eel rice?"

Ayumi looked very embarrassed.

"But we have to find Conan!"

Mamiya Takato waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay. When the hunger becomes unbearable, the baby will probably come out on its own."

A group of people went to the restaurant for dinner.

Unfortunately, while they were enjoying the delicious food, poor Edogawa Conan was still groping in the secret passage.

As he turned the mechanism on the wall clock, the wall in front of him flipped over and rolled him in.

In less than half a second, the mechanism door returned to calm, leaving only a fallen chair and scattered books on the ground.

"pain......"

Conan fell down a flight of stairs and hit his knee. He covered his knee and slowly stood up with a grim expression on his face.

"This is indeed not an ordinary castle!" Feeling the depth of the secret passage, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He turned the dial of the anesthesia watch half a turn clockwise, and a bright light shone out, illuminating the road in front of him clearly.

This is a switchback staircase that looks quite long. I wonder how deep it goes.

The burn on his calf had not healed completely yet, and he hit his knee again. Conan had to limp downstairs.

After a long time, he finally touched the ground.

He heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his wrist, and looked forward.

His expression did not change until a certain protrusion was illuminated by the light from the watch.

No way?

Conan quickly jumped on one leg a few times and got in front of the thing.

It was actually a skeleton!

This tooth shape, and the atrophied calf bones...

He realized something and put his hands in his pockets, ready to take out his detective badge to contact Huibara and the others and tell them the amazing reasoning.

However, the next moment, a strong wind came from behind his head. He quickly realized that something was wrong and tried hard to dodge.

Unfortunately, with his hands in his pockets and his cramped knees, he was unable to dodge the attack.

The hard brick hit the back of his head hard, and Conan was knocked to the ground.

The sticky blood gradually slid down and his consciousness quickly became blurred. In his last moments of clarity, he tightly grasped the detective badge in his hand.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the strength to press the communication button.

Finally, his hands loosened weakly.

He fainted.

Behind him, the dark passage made it difficult to see the man's figure clearly.

The murderer gave a ferocious smile and threw the brick in his hand to the ground.

The dark red blood left a mark on the ground.

The man grabbed Conan's feet and dragged him a long way on the ground, leaving a very long trail of blood.
