The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Doctor's house.

"Doctor, can I borrow the bathroom in your home? There's a problem with the bathroom in the office." Ran Mouri knocked on the door outside.

"Oh, of course." Dr. Agasa opened the door and welcomed her in.

"Thank you very much." Ran Mouri walked into the bathroom with clean clothes.

As soon as she walked in, Chiyoko walked out of the room.

He glanced at the closed bathroom door, walked over to the Doctor, and handed him the tied tent.

"Don't put this kind of thing under the scale next time, Doctor. The frame will break easily."

"Hehe." The doctor scratched his head embarrassedly.

Pouring herself a cup of hot milk, Chiyoko walked to the sofa with the cup in hand: "What, Xiaolan came to catch you?"

"She just came here to borrow the bathroom." Conan gave him a pair of dead fish eyes, looking a little sad.

"Speaking of which, I feel like Xiaolan has been acting strange lately. She doesn't even look at me like a first-grade student."

"Are you holding a grudge against her because she didn't take you with her when she took a bath?" Chiyomi drank milk.

"What kind of weird words are those... and do I look like that kind of person?" Conan blushed and stammered, "I never expected to take a bath with Xiaolan!"

"Oh." Chiyoko wiped the milk stains on the corner of her mouth and said perfunctorily.

"Is it possible that your identity has been exposed?"

Conan shook his head with a complicated look on his face: "I don't know, maybe it's really my recent behavior that made her suspicious."

"Anyway, in the previous game of Noah's Ark, I didn't see you trying to hide anything. You were just about to tell others that you were an unusual child."

Chiyoko squinted at him and said, "You know, in order to cover for you, that venomous and arrogant girl and I didn't pretend to be children at all."

"By the way, where is Haibara?" He noticed that the brown-haired girl who was sitting in the corner of the sofa was gone.

"She said she wanted to test some data and ran to the basement, and asked us not to disturb her until tomorrow morning." Conan confessed honestly and pointed to the door of the basement.

Chiyoko went to the kitchen to look for it, took Haibara Ai's cup, walked to the coffee machine, hesitated for a moment, and finally got a cup of hot milk.

Holding the milk, he turned the door of the basement and saw a dim room.

Hey.

He casually turned on the switch on the wall.

The sudden light made Haibara Ai squint her eyes.

"Are you a rat in the gutter? You never turn on the lights." Chiyoko remembered that this was the situation the last time she was caught researching an antidote.

He placed the hot milk on the computer desk and looked at the contents on her computer screen curiously.

Huihara Ai's voice was somewhat helpless: "I should have told Kudo and the doctor not to disturb me, didn't they tell you?"

"I did."

"Then why did you come in?"

Chiyoko nodded matter-of-factly: "Obviously I didn't listen."

Huihara sighed and continued typing on the keyboard: "It seems I should lock the door next time."

"It doesn't matter. I'll pry it open."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Haibara Ai had no choice but to stop what she was doing and turned around to look at him with some distress.

"As a victim of that drug and a test subject for the antidote, it shouldn't be too much to ask for me to take a look at the progress of your research, right?" Chiyomi blinked, revealing a kind expression.

"......Whatever you want." Pursing her lips slightly, Huibara Ai turned back and continued to run data on the computer, silently convincing herself to ignore the guy next to her.

Guilt is a fine knife.

The corners of Chiyo's lips curled slightly, and a shrewd light flashed in her innocent eyes.

"Hey, Huibara."

"what's up."

"I used up the antidote last time when I fought Gin. Isn't it time to give me a new one?"

"No!" Haibara Ai rejected it outright and looked at him seriously.

"The first time you took the antidote, your body recovered for 19 hours. The second time, it was only 18.5 hours!"

"It turns out that you have already developed resistance to this drug. If you continue to act recklessly, even if a real antidote is developed, you may not be able to change back."

"I will not give you the antidote until a new version of the antidote is developed."

"Oh." Chiyoko responded obediently, but this attitude made Haibara Ai look at him suspiciously.

"I'm saying I won't give you the antidote, do you understand?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"..." Haibara Ai withdrew her gaze half-doubtfully and focused on the data.

Chiyoko walked around her room with her hands in her pockets, her eyes occasionally moving towards the neat single bed in the corner and drifting across her pillow.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally spot the not-so-obvious protrusion.

The living room of the doctor's house.

Mao Lilan changed her clothes, walked out of the bathroom comfortably with a towel on her shoulders, and there was steam spreading behind her.

"Thank you so much, Doctor."

"Ah, it's okay." Dr. Agasa waved his hand kindly.

"By the way, where is the girl who lives in your house?" Mouri Ran looked around, looking for Haibara Ai.

"Are you talking about Ai-kun? She's in the basement, but..." Before the doctor could finish his words, Mao Lilan turned around and walked down the stairs, skipping down the steps with a joyful step.

"I'll go say hello to her!"

"But she said she doesn't want to be disturbed..." The doctor stretched out his hand, but Mao Lilan had already turned the doorknob with a smile.

"Hello, little..."

She pushed the door open and saw a thin figure sitting in front of a computer in the room, typing on the keyboard, the sound becoming weaker.

"sorrow......"

The door opened a little wider, and she saw Chiyoko standing by the bed again.

Chiyoko felt her gaze, withdrew her eyes from the pillow, and turned to look at Mao Li Ran.

"Um, Xiaoguang is here too?" Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly.

Dr. Agasa came down the stairs and saw that the atmosphere was a little tense. He laughed dryly to make it happen: "Ah, Ai-kun, why don't you say hello to Xiaolan?"

"No, that's not necessary, Doctor." Mao Lilan waved her hands in front of her chest, "I feel like I'm disturbing her."

"Goodbye, Xiaoai!" She stepped out and closed the door gently.

Chiyoko crossed her arms exaggeratedly, "At that moment just now, I was suffering from a disease called embarrassment."

Huibara Ai's hands that were tapping the keyboard paused.

"We weren't close enough to the lady from that office to need to visit each other."

"After all, there has been nothing to talk about." Chiyoko seemed to agree and said, touching her chin.

"High school girls her age should be talking about idol-chasing, love, gossip, etc., but our conversations are always about criminal corpses and murders..."

He suddenly tilted his head in confusion: "So how does that Kudo guy usually chat with Xiaolan?"

"Maybe when the great detective meets his sweetheart he will reveal a side of him that we've never seen before." Huibara Ai said casually, pressing the Enter key with a click, then saving with the shortcut key, taking her hands off the keyboard and stretching.

"After all, we've only known him for a little over a month, but they've been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years."

She picked up the hot milk beside her and looked at it with a look of disgust, but finally she patiently took a sip.

"My taste has completely changed to coffee, so please change it to coffee for me, thank you." She handed the cup to Chiyoko without hesitation.

"You really have the temper of a young lady." Chiyoko took the cup.

"Who am I working so hard all night to research the antidote for? It shouldn't be too much to enjoy some services, right?"

The corners of Huihara Ai's mouth curled up slightly.

Guilt is a fine knife.

Chiyoko raised her brows slightly.

After a while, he walked out of the basement with the cup.

Then I saw Mao Lilan who was about to leave.

"Conan, do you want to go back to the office with me or stay at the doctor's house?"

She asked Conan who was sitting on the sofa reading a mystery novel.

Conan thought for a moment and replied, "We have agreed to go camping tomorrow, so I will rest at the doctor's house for one night. This will save me a lot of trips."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Ran Mouri said goodbye to the doctor and left through the gate.

"Where is the doctor's place for you to sleep?" Chiyoko looked at him in confusion: "Are you going to stay with the doctor, or just spend the night on the sofa?"

"Can't I just sleep on the floor in my room?" Conan was silent.

Chiyoko made coffee and brought it to Haibara Ai, then pushed open the door of the doctor's house and left, leaving Conan with a desolate back.

"Whatever you want, I'm going home to sleep in the big bed."

Of course, the one who felt depressed was Conan.

The next day.

In Dr. Agasa's Beetle car.

It’s still the classic seating arrangement.

Dr. Agasa sat in the driver's seat, the tall Genta occupied the passenger seat, and the remaining five children squeezed in the back seat.

The approximate order is: Haibara Ai, Conan, Chiyoko, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.

"It's so crowded... Doctor, when will you change to a more spacious car? A seven-seater Mazda is fine." Chiyoko didn't fall asleep this time, but complained to Dr. Agasa.

"It's very troublesome to modify a new car. My Beetle is much more powerful than yours looks!" said the doctor with a smile.

Anyway, he was sitting in the driver's seat, so he wasn't squeezed.

Conan lay down behind Dr. Agasa's seat and whispered behind him: "Hey, Dr., I told you last night, just in case, can you be a substitute for me?"

"substitute?"

"Like a robot that moves and talks and looks exactly like me."

A drop of sweat dripped down Dr. Agasa's forehead: "If I could make something like that, I would have been a billionaire long ago."

"Okay." Conan sat back down disappointed.

It wasn't long before they arrived at their planned camping destination.
