The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Suzuki Sonoko watched the children disappear around the corner of the corridor before she looked away: "Come to think of it, if we are discharged from the hospital in two or three days, we will be able to catch up with the busiest time of the school festival."

"And it happened to be the time for our performance."

She leaned over and looked at Conan, then said to Mao Lilan: "You are busy early that morning, how are you going to take this child out of the hospital?"

Mao Lilan's eyebrows curved: "Can I ask my father for help?"

"If uncle can't do it, I can ask brother Shakuba to come over." Suzuki Sonoko nodded and found that this was indeed not a difficult task.

"By the way, have you informed him?" She suddenly thought of something and poked Mao Lilan's shoulder.

"he?"

"That's Shinichi. If he knew you were playing the heroine, he'd probably come running back!"

"That's impossible..."

Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly, looking down with gentle eyes: "And it doesn't matter whether he comes or not."

"As long as Conan can recover."

She looked at Conan and asked softly, "Will you come?"

Conan was stunned, "Of course..."

Suzuki Sonoko squeezed out a pair of dead fish eyes: "I can't stand it, it feels like the air has become mushy."

She pointed at Conan and complained to Mao Lilan: "Are you transferring your love for Shinichi to this brat?"

Mao Lilan blushed and shouted: "What are you thinking about!"

The atmosphere suddenly became strange, but fortunately there was a ward ahead.

Before they reached the door, they heard a noise coming from inside.

"How come you bought lilies..."

"You're so long-winded! Isn't it enough to just have flowers..."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned: "The sound seems to come from Conan's ward."

Conan's mouth twitched.

Just the familiar Osaka accent made him guess who was inside.

Sure enough, when they opened the door, they saw a dark-skinned boy arguing with another girl with a high ponytail.

"Idiot! Lily means 'head falling', it's too unlucky to use it to visit the sick!"

Yuanshan Heye pointed at the bouquet of flowers, speechless.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier when you bought it? Idiot!" Hattori Heiji retorted loudly.

"It turns out to be Hattori and Kazuha." Ran Mouri pushed Conan in.

The two people in the room finally stopped arguing, and Hattori Heiji smiled awkwardly: "We heard that the kid was seriously injured, so we took a plane to come and see him after school."

"What's the situation?" Yuanshan Heye asked with concern.

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "The doctor said that if everything goes well, I can be discharged from the hospital in two or three days."

Hattori Heiji pushed Toyama Kazuha's back and pushed her out of the ward: "Forget it, then go buy some auspicious flowers."

Yuanshan Heye's cheeks puffed up: "What kind of attitude is that?"

Hattori Heiji bared his big white teeth at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko again: "You should take her with you, so that this guy won't get lost."

"Okay..." Mouri Ran nodded, and Hattori Heiji closed the door without hesitation.

Now only Conan and Hattori Heiji were left in the room.

"Go ahead." Conan climbed onto the hospital bed, covered himself tightly with the quilt, and looked at Hattori Heiji.

"What is your real purpose here?"

Hattori Heiji placed the bouquet on the table and looked at him with amusement: "My dear, I have traveled all the way from Osaka to see you, why are you so cold?"

"Aren't we good brothers who share weal and woe?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I can see at a glance that you deliberately bought the wrong flowers and used this as an excuse to get them away, right?" Conan glanced at him.

"You are worthy of being a Kanto detective who is as famous as me." Hattori Heiji came over with a smile.

"Actually, this is what happened." He restrained his expression and started talking about business.

"An old man named Agasa called me last night and said he wanted to discuss something with me about you."

"Although I don't know what's going on, it looks like your identity is about to be exposed by that girl?"

Conan sighed and turned over in bed, looking melancholy: "It's not about to be exposed, it's almost been exposed."

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji didn't expect the matter to be so serious. "Did you tell her in person?"

"How is it possible..." Conan glanced at him.

"Maybe you are thinking too much. You are too suspicious because you are afraid of being exposed." Hattori Heiji analyzed rationally.

"No, now that I think about it, there are too many similar signs." Conan held his hands behind his head and spoke in a dull tone, apparently ready to start.

"Without a body double like in the movie, it feels like it would be impossible to keep it secret."

"Then it's okay to tell her directly, right?" Hattori Heiji sat on the edge of the bed and helped him think about it.

Conan shook his head.

"Lan...she has no destiny in this field. Telling her everything will only add to her sadness. It won't do any good except making her live in fear every day."

"Hattori, as a fellow detective, you understand this, right?" He looked at Hattori Heiji with burning eyes.

"If it were you, would you tell He Ye everything?"

Hattori Heiji was silent for a while.

......

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Chiyoko looked at Haibara Ai's back as she fiddled with something, feeling a little hesitant.

"Are you backing off now?" Huiyuan Ai glanced back at him lightly, "You fully supported this idea when it was first proposed."

"But no matter what, the pepper spray is a bit too much...how about changing it to lemon water?" Chiyoko walked up to her research results and suggested uncertainly.

Huiyuan groaned: "When dealing with a detective boy who likes to show off, he should be taught a lesson."

But she still changed the magazine silently.

midnight.

The VIP ward of Mihua Hospital.

pat.

After a crisp sound, the door was gently pushed open, and the cold light in the corridor came in from the gap. Conan woke up from his deep sleep and vaguely saw a black shadow blocking him from the light.

Click.

The sound of the pistol being loaded was very crisp and was particularly obvious in the quiet room.

Conan suddenly woke up and looked at the gun pointed at his forehead in horror.

"Gray, Huihara?" Everything happened so bizarrely that he stuttered a little.

He rolled his eyes and saw a figure standing on the other side of the bed. The coldness in that person's eyes was almost turning into real frost, which coincided with the eyes of Gin in Conan's memory.

"Chiyo..."

"I'm so sorry." Huibara Ai sat on the edge of the bed, holding the gun steadily in her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed.

In the darkness, her short brown hair seemed to turn into a blood-red rose, beautiful yet extremely dangerous.

She gently lifted the hair beside her ear, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"It seems like there's still sinful blood flowing in my body."

"What?" Conan was a little confused.

"Don't you understand yet?" Huiyuan Ai closed her eyes slightly, her expression gloomy, "My identity has been exposed."

"It was discovered by someone in that organization."

"When I met them at the Beihu Hotel, I never dreamed that in addition to Pisco, there was another accomplice of theirs at the venue."

"They had long suspected that I had taken the medicine to shrink, so they quickly set their sights on me, until this morning when they discovered my hiding place..."

She smiled bitterly. "I thought I would be killed immediately, but they said that as long as I return to the organization, they will forgive me for my past mistakes."

“Because they don’t want the APTX4869 study to come to a standstill.”

Conan pursed his lips and stared into her eyes: "So you want to kill me, the one who knows the existence of the organization?"

"That's right, this is the condition they offered." Huibara Ai sneered.

"Not only that, your parents, the Maori family, and the young detective from Osaka will also disappear from this world one by one."

"The doctor has been taken hostage by them. I have tried my best to save him, but it is of no avail."

Her expression was filled with a hint of real sadness, but she quickly calmed down and put her index finger on the trigger: "Be content. In order to prevent you from seeing those horrible scenes, I will send you to hell first."

"Wait." Conan reached out and moved her gun away with a calm expression.

He looked at Chiyoko who had a grim expression on the other side: "What about you? She is an important scientific researcher in the organization. You can't be an indispensable experimental subject, right?"

There was a cruel smile on Chiyoko's lips, her eyes were full of indifference, and at that moment Conan even saw the shadow of Gin.

"When the organization sent people to find Shirley, they also found me. After they knew my identity, they offered me this condition..."

"They opened..."

All the emotions on his face suddenly disappeared, and instead a hint of clear stupidity appeared in his eyes.

"What did they say?" he asked Huihara Ai in confusion.

Huiyuan Ai sighed helplessly, "I've told you to read the script several times."

"It's your fault that the plot you wrote is too abstract. It doesn't seem like something they can do." Chiyoko took out a chocolate with a dull look.

"It's the same if you just omit the plot."

Huihara Ai's blue eyes lit up dangerously. She pointed the gun at Conan and threatened, "Open your mouth."

Conan opened his mouth obediently.

swoosh-

A stream of water shot out from the muzzle and fell into his mouth.

Conan smacked his lips with relish.

“It tastes pretty good.”

It's his favorite lemon.

"I thought it would be Kamen Rider, but it turned out to be a new trick." He commented seriously.

"Come to think of it, Chiyo is so unprofessional. I deliberately gave you more roles, but you ended up letting it down." Conan complained to Chiyo.

Chiyoko narrowed her eyes and said, "If it wasn't for me, you would have been drinking pepper water. Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

"It's my fault that I didn't recognize a great man, Master Chiyo!" Conan suddenly became intimidated and clasped his hands together and laughed awkwardly.

"That's enough of a joke." Haibara Ai stood up from the bed and threw the gun in her hand at Conan.

"If this is what we are acting like, what would you do?"

She turned her back to the bed, picked up the bouquet of lilies on the table, and gently stroked the petals.

"If they really find me and take the doctor hostage, I think I will really do what I just said."

Conan was silent.

After a while, he asked Huiyuan Ai carefully: "What do you want to say?"

Huiyuan Ai put down the bouquet and said calmly: "I'm here to give you a vaccination."

"If you let your emotions get the better of you and tell her about the organization, there's no doubt that she will become one of the organization's targets."

"I didn't plan to tell her." Conan's answer was beyond her expectations.

Conan said calmly: "Of course I know the priorities of the matter. If I don't tell her, at least she will be safe until we are exposed. Even if we are exposed, she still has a chance of survival."

"Once we reveal everything, not only will she be completely involved in all this and live in fear all day long, but it may also increase the chances of us being exposed."

"I have a clear mind on how to make the decision."

As he spoke, he sighed, "But the problem now is that I may not be able to keep it a secret even if I want to. Xiaolan has already discovered something is wrong. If she insists on it, it's just the difference between acquiescence and confession."

"So we are here to provide you with a solution." Haibara Ai said in a cold voice, looking at Chiyoko who was struggling with the chocolate packaging across from her.

"?"

Chiyoko bit the tough packaging and looked over in confusion.

"It's easy to dispel her suspicion of you."

"Simple?" Conan asked suspiciously.

"It's enough to have Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi appear in front of her at the same time."

"How is it possible..." Conan asked back at first, but soon realized something and looked in the direction of Haibara Ai's gaze.

His eyes fell on Chiyoko.

"Come to think of it, our body shapes are quite similar." Conan narrowed his eyes and smiled at Chiyoko with ill intent.

Chiyoko suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if she was being tricked.

"You don't want to..." He looked at the two people in front of him warily.

"I'm counting on you, Lady Chiyo~" Conan used that disgusting childish tone, which gave Chiyo goosebumps.

"Of course you can, but I have a condition!"

Chiyoko argued with reason and tried to fight for her rightful rights.

"You said."

He held up three fingers and said, "Reimburse me for all my dessert expenses for the next three months."

"Of course!" Conan agreed with gritted teeth.

He knew how powerful this guy's mouth was.

It is definitely impossible to afford it with the pocket money that the Mori family gives to "Edogawa Conan", and it seems that he can only barely meet the demand by using "Kudo Shinichi"'s secret fund.

He also plans to buy the latest collector's edition of all Conan Doyle's novels...

Three days later.

Teitan High School School Festival.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki hid behind the curtain and stuck their heads out to look at the huge crowd below the stage.

“Why are there so many people here? It’s our turn next. I’m so nervous…” Mao Lilan was a little flustered.

Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly: "Because this play has received high praise before, it is said to be more beautiful than Romeo and Juliet!"

"Hi, Xiaolan!" A cheerful and lively greeting suddenly came from behind them.

"Ah, Kazuha, you're here!" Mao Lilan looked back.

Toyama Kazuha was wearing a maroon turtleneck sweater. "Although Heiji said that it would cause trouble for others, I thought about it and decided to come because I think I should cheer you up."

"Isn't Hattori here?" asked Ran Mouri.

"He said he had something important to do, so I came alone."
