The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"If Holmes is not here, the person most likely to provide us with help is Professor Moriarty." Conan flipped through the notebook several times, but found no other substantial clues.

Mao Lilan said in confusion: "Although Professor Moriarty controls London from behind, he rarely shows up. Where can we find him?"

"As long as we find someone related to him."

Conan thought for a while and thought of the easiest person to find. "Let's go directly to Colonel Sebastian Moran."

"Yes, Colonel Moran is Professor Moriarty's confidant!" Mao Lilan thought it made sense, but still didn't understand, "But we don't know where Colonel Moran is?"

Huihara Ai pulled out a piece of experimental notes from the pile: "Holmes wrote in his essay that the place Colonel Moran often frequented was the card club in the city center."

Conan nodded and reminded the others: "Colonel Moran is known as the 'Second Most Dangerous Person in London'. You must be vigilant when you come into contact with him."

The three little ones nodded obediently.

The prickly boys' gang did not make any comment.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to rest here for a while, and then set off to the card club to try their luck and see if they could find Colonel Moran.

The three fake kids gathered together to discuss their next action plan.

"And then?" Huiyuan Ai stopped in front of the piano, her fingertips lightly sweeping across the keys, "Even if you meet Colonel Moran, how are you going to find the professor through him?"

"What reasons are you going to use to convince the professor to help you deal with his own men?"

Conan said honestly: "Actually, I'm not too sure. I can only take it one step at a time."

"If a leader can say such things, this action team probably won't get far." Chiyoko said sarcastically in a mean manner.

Conan was confused.

"Oh! Look what good stuff I found?" Yuan Tai's surprised voice attracted the attention of the three people.

He took out an old-fashioned revolver from the drawer.

"Put it back!" Conan's expression became serious and he shouted loudly.

"Why?" Yuan Tai was startled and looked at him in confusion, "Aren't we going to meet a very dangerous person?"

"Weapons you're not used to are useless and will only cause trouble."

"Well..." Yuan Tai put it back into the drawer angrily and complained quietly, "I feel like you are more terrifying."

"Okay, let's go." Conan had rested enough, and after reading the contents of the notebook one last time, he opened the door and went out.

After they all left, Hideki Moroboshi, who was still in the living room, quietly opened the drawer, took out the revolver, and hid it around his waist.

In the shadows outside the door, Chiyoko took in the entire scene. Without saying anything, she followed the others.

"What did you leave behind?" Huibara Ai asked casually when she saw him slowly catching up.

Chiyoko just shook her head.

He looked up at Big Ben not far away, and the hands on it had gone back to thirty.

"Twenty people have been eliminated." Conan said in a heavy tone.

"I don't know when someone among us will be eliminated." Huibara Ai said lightly.

"Don't say such unlucky things." Yuan Tai retorted nervously.

Along the way, everyone was in a low mood.

Soon, everyone arrived at the card club.

"I'll sneak in and take a look at the situation first. You wait for me outside." Conan instructed and quietly crawled in through the small door.

"Be careful." Mao Lilan said with concern.

The lights in the card club were brighter than outside. Several round tables were filled with gentlemen, with various chips piled in front of them.

Colonel Moran was sitting at the center table, looking like a strong middle-aged man with a mustache that fell to his chin.

There was no one at the top table, but there was a layer of white cloth on the table in front of the chair. High-end packaged red wine was placed on it, and there was an upside-down wine glass next to it.

There was even a monkey on the wine rack inside the club, sitting next to a fruit bowl and eating berries with its hands.

"How about the one wearing glasses?" Hideki Moroboshi suddenly appeared from behind Conan and asked softly.

Conan was slightly startled and almost bumped into the cabinet where he was hiding. "Why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

"And then watch you show off your power by yourself?"

With a bold follow-up, Colonel Moran won another round thrillingly and swept several stacks of chips in front of him.

"This guy Moran is quite good at playing cards." Hideki Moroboshi glanced at the pile of chips in front of Colonel Moran.

"He's cheating." Conan shook his head.

"Cheating?"

"Look at that monkey." Conan pointed in the direction of the wine rack.

"By picking up different colored berries with your left and right hands, you can represent the suit of the card, and the number of berries represents the number."

"It's a special way of telling Colonel Moran what cards his opponent is holding."

"You know all this?" Hideki Moroboshi widened his eyes.

Before Conan could react, he jumped out, pointed at Colonel Moran and shouted, "He's cheating!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table looked at the child who suddenly appeared.

"That Moran guy is cheating." Moroboshi Hideki repeated it under the gazes of several people.

"Kid," Colonel Moran stood up from his seat, his tall figure very intimidating, "watch your tone."

"You said I cheated, do you have evidence?"

"Of course." Hideki Moroboshi simply copied Conan's reasoning.

"That monkey is helping you with your cards, right?"

"What?!" The gambler at the table turned around in surprise and looked at the wine rack behind him.

"You are so despicable, Moran!" He stood up and slammed the table excitedly, and the chair was moved back a long way.

Colonel Moran showed no shame at all. Instead, he sneered, "Who told you fools to be fooled?"

"Let's have your fight later." Hideki Moroboshi didn't want to see them arguing like this, so he pulled out a revolver from his waist and pointed it at Colonel Moran.

"Tell me quickly, where are the Moriartys?"

Colonel Moran's pupils shrank slightly, and he walked over with a gloomy face, not taking the revolver in his hand seriously at all: "Where did you hear that name, little brat!"

"Don't come over!" Hideki Moroboshi panicked as he watched him approaching. He held the pistol with both hands and threatened loudly.

However, Colonel Moran seemed not to care about his threat and moved closer.

Hideki Moroboshi made up his mind and pulled the trigger. Fire burst out from the muzzle of the gun and the huge recoil made him fall backwards and fall to the ground.

The speeding bullet grazed Colonel Moran's shoulder, and he twitched his eyes in pain, but he did not stop, and directly grabbed the gun barrel and snatched the pistol away.

"Catch this kid for me!" As he gave the order, the waiters in the club surrounded him with ferocious looks on their faces.

A waiter protected the red wine on the main table long before the gunfire.

The people outside the club were unaware of what was happening inside.

Time goes back to when Conan just left.

"That little detective is trying to show off again." Haibara Ai put her hands behind her back. Her loose white dress covered half of her body, casting a huge shadow under the street light.

"It's time to get used to it." Chiyoko yawned and looked back at the team.

"Hmm?" He suddenly became more alert, "There's one person missing."

There was no sign of Hideki Moroboshi, the leader of the prickly boy gang.

"Could he have followed her in secretly?" Suzuki Sonoko asked uncertainly.

"So cunning, let's go in too!" Yuan Tai took the lead and kicked the door open.

Just then, a loud gunshot rang out from inside the door. Everyone was startled and realized something was wrong, so they hurried in.

There was chaos in the club. When the people who had just rushed in saw several waiters surrounding the two children, they anxiously joined the battle.

Ran Mouri rushed forward and knocked a waiter who was about to catch Conan to the ground with one punch.

"Conan, I'm here to help!"

The three little ones also targeted an enemy. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi each held one of his legs, and Genta jumped off the table and pinned him to the ground with his weight.

The gang of resentful boys were not willing to be outdone. They picked up the fruit plate from the wine rack, went around behind another waiter, and smashed it hard on the back of his head.

Suzuki Sonoko looked left and right, but couldn't find her place to perform, so she supervised the battle from behind: "Xiaolan, be careful behind you!"

Successfully alerted Mao Lilan and avoided an enemy's sneak attack.

Mao Lilan gave her a thumbs up, and Suzuki Sonoko smiled with blushing face.

Suddenly, the waiter who was knocked down by Mao Lilan first struggled to stand up again, grabbing the wooden chair beside him.

However, no one noticed the enemy who had fallen long ago.

He raised the wooden chair high and aimed it at Conan who had his back to him, gathering all his strength and about to smash it down!

"Danger!"

The boy with the middle-parted hair closest to him yelled, and quickly pushed Conan away, causing the wooden chair to fall heavily on his thin back.

Mao Lilan reacted quickly and kicked the enemy away, and this time he didn't move anymore.

Conan stared blankly at the boy with the middle parted hair, a rainbow-colored light effect appearing on his body.

That's a sign of elimination.

The boy with the middle part looked at his hands regretfully and shouted to Conan, "Glasses boy, you have to win!"

"If we lose to a computer, humans will be ashamed!"

After he finished speaking, his body turned into tiny particles along with the light effects and dissipated into the air.

"Damn it!" Conan looked at the place where he disappeared, feeling a little annoyed.

Still, reduction in staff was inevitable!

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, who were fighting with the enemy, saw the situation on their side and stood there in a daze. Then, the opportunity was seized at the same time and sturdy chairs fell down on them.

Two more light effects came on.

"Ah, eliminated..." Mitsuhiko looked down at his arm which was gradually disappearing.

"You must revive us, Conan!" Ayumi gave him a trusting look and smiled slightly.

The two disappeared.

"Mitsuhiko! Ayumi!"

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

Four consecutive gunshots were heard.
