The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The next morning, they returned in Dr. Agasa's Beetle car.

However, the seats were different from when they came out. Genta came to the back row because he wanted to play games, while Chiyoko and Haibara Ai, who did not participate in the game, squeezed in the passenger seat.

"This seat is really too small." Yuantai complained to Mitsuhiko beside him.

"It's because you moved to the back row. You were sitting in the front seat when you came here. You alone take up more space than Chiyo and Haibara combined!" Mitsuhiko struggled to survive in the gap.

“Because the back row is more interesting!”

Yuanta passed Mitsuhiko and shouted to Conan: "Hey Conan, squeeze over a little!"

"Who told you to eat five bowls of rice so early in the morning..." Conan squeezed out dead fish eyes.

"Sorry, Ayumi, please squeeze in a little more." He leaned a little closer to Ayumi.

Ayumi's face turned slightly red and she shrugged her shoulders.

"Okay, let's play games now!" Yuantai finally felt a little more comfortable and suggested enthusiastically.

Mitsuhiko took out a stopwatch from his pocket: "Then let's play the 30-second guessing game. Just count to 30 seconds in your mind and then press the stop button."

"How about it?"

"It sounds interesting, let's play!"

Dr. Agasa smiled and said, "I can't participate. I still have to drive."

"I give up too." Haibara Ai, who was in the co-pilot seat, waved her hand.

“I see…” Mitsuhiko nodded in disappointment, then looked at Chiyo who was also sitting in the passenger seat, “What about Chiyo?”

"I have nothing to do so I can have some fun." Chiyoko said casually.

"Then let me start first."

Mitsuhiko picked up the stopwatch, closed his eyes, and counted quietly.

"1, 2...28, 29, 30!"

When he reached the end of the count, he slammed the button, opened his eyes and looked at the stopwatch.

"40! That's more than 10 seconds."

Looking at the results that were obviously above the standard, he felt a little annoyed.

Then he reset the stopwatch and handed it to Conan who was sitting next to him.

"Conan is next."

Conan looked at the stopwatch, roughly estimated the frequency that Mitsuhiko had previously calculated, closed his eyes and pressed the timing button.

"...29, 30."

He stopped timing, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the stopwatch.

The above shows 27.06s.

"It seems like the count is a bit fast."

Mitsuhiko said regretfully: "What a pity."

"It's my turn, it's my turn!" Yuanta took the stopwatch from Conan and started timing impatiently.

Then there was no movement for a long while.

As time passed, Conan couldn't help feeling speechless.

Hey.

Yuantai finally pressed the button.

The stopwatch showed 59 seconds.

"Huh? 59 seconds..." Yuantai squinted his eyes and looked closer, and found that he was not seeing things.

He turned to ask Guangyan who was standing beside him: "Hey Guangyan, is this broken?"

"I think it's you who is broken?" Mitsuhiko smiled helplessly.

"Then it's Ayumi's turn next." He took the stopwatch from Genta and handed it to Ayumi over Conan.

"Yeah." Ayumi took it with a blushing face.

"1, 2, 3...29, 30!"

Conan leaned over to take a look and exclaimed in surprise: "Exactly 30 seconds."

“Wow, really!” Mitsuhiko also came over, “Ayumi is so amazing!”

Yuan Tai also smiled and exclaimed: "It's like he has super powers!"

Ayumi smiled sheepishly, clasped her hands together and rubbed them together uncomfortably.

"Yes, it happened by chance."

"Then it's Xiaoguang's turn." Mitsuhiko reached out from the gap between the seats and handed the stopwatch to the driver's seat.

Ai Haibara, who was sitting closer to the inside, reached out to take the stopwatch and handed it to Chiyoko who was sitting next to her.

"It's a bit stressful to be behind Ayumi." Chiyoko said casually, then closed her eyes and pressed the button.

Half a minute later, he stopped timing, opened his eyes and looked at the stopwatch.

29.99s.

"You're quite good at this." Haibara Ai took the stopwatch and returned it to the children in the back row, teasing him in a low voice.

Chiyoko leaned against the car window, staring at the passing buildings outside the window boredly: "I roughly calculated the frequency of my heartbeat, then controlled my heartbeat to remain constant, and then just counted accordingly."

"But I don't know why, but the count is a little faster for no apparent reason."

Huihara Ai raised her eyebrows: "What a strong body control ability."

Chiyoko looked at her sideways and said nothing.

Yuanta suddenly climbed onto the back of the passenger seat, lowered his head and asked Huihara, "By the way, Huihara, who were you talking to on the phone so late last night?"

Huiyuan Ai shook her head lightly without any panic: "How can this happen? I think you are dreaming."

Conan glanced at the co-pilot's back thoughtfully.

"Is there really no such thing?" Chiyoko lowered her voice and said teasingly in her ear.

"I noticed it as soon as you got up last night."

"Please put your vigilance in the right place." Huihara Ai was speechless, and the hot air blowing beside her ears made them hot.

"Then just pretend it doesn't happen." Chiyoko leaned back against the window, her tone indifferent.

"Everyone has secrets anyway."

After making a lot of noise along the way, Dr. Agasa finally spoke: "The twin towers you want to see are not far ahead!"

“Oh, really!”

The three little ones soon became excited.

Not long after, everyone arrived in front of the tall building. Dr. Agasa went to park the car and the children got off in front of the gate.

I saw the building in front of me towering into the clouds. Standing at its foot, it was difficult to see the top at a glance.

Such a magnificent building, with two buildings located together, gives an even more shocking feeling.

“It’s so high!”

“I can’t see the top!”

Yuantai made a telescope with his hands and exclaimed loudly.

Ayumi's small mouth opened slightly, "It feels like I'm growing in the clouds."

Just then, a taxi came from the road and stopped in front of the building.

The car door opened and several figures got out of the car.

"Hey, isn't that Conan?"

Mao Lilan, who was wearing green casual clothes, was surprised when she suddenly saw a group of children standing in front of the door.

"Sister Xiaolan?"

Conan was also slightly startled. Seeing Suzuki Sonoko and Uncle Maori standing next to her, he quickly trotted over and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

"That's what I want to ask, why are you kids here?" Uncle Maori put his hands in his pockets and looked over with squinted eyes.

Dr. Agasa smiled and rubbed his sparsely-haired head: "We just came back from camping, and the kids were clamoring to see this newly built building, so we came over to take a look."

"Uncle, why are you here?" Conan asked directly.

"Why do I have to tell you, little brat..." Uncle Maori stared at him with dead eyes.

Mao Lilan quickly pulled his arm and said to Conan with a smile: "Because the owner of this building, Miss Tokiwa Mio, is my father's junior in college, and she specially invited my father to visit before the opening ceremony next week."

Then she put on a dangerous smile, and Uncle Maori felt a little scared when he was stared at by her.

"He didn't even tell me at first. It was only when I thought he was eager to come that I felt something was wrong, so I pressed him and he confessed."

"It's obvious that you are too suspicious!" Uncle Maori argued.

Conan smiled innocently: "So you guys came here to monitor uncle's actions, Xiaolan."

Suzuki Sonoko also explained with a smile: "In fact, this Tokiwa Mio is the daughter of the Tokiwa Group, and she is still waiting to be married."

She winked again and poked Ran Mao's shoulder: "For Xiaolan, of course she will be worried."

"Sonoko!" Mao Lilan turned around and scolded her angrily.

Suzuki Sonoko stuck out her tongue.

"But since a famous uncle has been invited, our family should have been invited as well. I don't know why I didn't receive any news." She looked back at the towering building in confusion.

An intellectual woman in OL clothes walked out of the building, her long hair draped over her shoulders adding a touch of gentleness to her temperament.

"Um, is this Mr. Maori?"

she asked with a smile.

"Ah, yes." Uncle Maori responded hurriedly.

"I'm the chairman's secretary, you can just call me Zekou."

"The chairman is currently receiving customers. Please follow me to the exhibition hall for a tour."

The group followed her into the elevator and went up.

In the elevator, Ayumi whispered to Mitsuhiko: "Hey, what kind of company is Tokiwa Group?"

Mitsuhiko thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that he mainly deals with computer software, but he probably dabbles in anything related to computers."

Yuan Tai interrupted, looking curious: "So they also make games?"

“Should there be?” Mitsuhiko was not too sure. He was not very familiar with the Tokiwa Group and he saw more industries of the Suzuki Group in his life.

"Then we'll have fun!" Yuan Tai cheered excitedly.

Soon they arrived at the showroom.

As the name suggests, the exhibition hall is a conference hall for displaying products. When everyone got off the elevator and walked into the venue, they saw many technologically advanced equipment.

There is an operating cabin for virtual somatosensory games, a drawing machine that automatically models based on descriptions, and a pot that can connect to the Internet to search for recipes and cook.

"Oh, there are so many interesting things." Dr. Agasa turned around and couldn't help but sighed as he looked at these things.

Well, these things are interesting to the Doctor.

"Welcome, everyone." Just as they were dazzled by these new and novel things, a generous man dressed in classic office worker style came over.

Secretary Sawaguchi promptly introduced: "This is one of the directors and an engineer, Mr. Hara Yoshiaki."

Yuan Jiaming has a square face, a wide chin, and wears round-frame glasses, which makes him look very friendly.

"Please give me more advice."

He smiled and said hello.

The three little ones who had already run away were now surrounding a strange-looking machine, curiously wondering what it was used for.

"what is this?"

“It doesn’t look like a game console.”

Yuan Jiaming came over, bent down, and smiled at the three kids: "Do you want to give it a try?"

“This machine can predict what the user will look like ten years from now.”

Dr. Agasa also came over to take a look: "Ten years later... that's really amazing."

"Doctor, come and play!" Ayumi raised her hand and smiled at Dr. Agasa.

Yuan Jiaming quickly started the machine for them and held out his hands to the two of them: "Then please sit on the seats on both sides."

Dr. Agasa and Ayumi sat on the chairs that looked very high-tech. As Hara Jiaming operated a few times on the screen, two helmet-like machines descended from above and were put on the heads of the doctor and Ayumi.

After a while, the scanning beam of electron flow lit up on the faces of the two people.

With a click, the sound of a camera shutter was heard.

Two photos fell out of the printer's exit and landed in the small opening for taking out photos.

Hara Jiaming took out the photo and handed it to the doctor and Ayumi who got down from their seats.

"So, this is what the machine predicted the two would look like ten years from now."

Mitsuhiko and Genta came over to Dr. Agasa and looked at the doctor who had hardly changed in the photo and said disappointedly, "What? He hasn't changed at all."

"Is this machine broken?"

Dr. Agasa laughed dryly.

"No, the machine is not broken." Conan's voice came from the side. He stood next to Ayumi who was holding the photo, and said to them.

"Look at this picture of Ayumi."

Mitsuhiko and Genta rushed over.

Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko also came over out of curiosity and looked at the photo in Ayumi's hand.

The photo showed a girl with short shoulder-length hair, gentle eyebrows and big watery eyes.

When Ayumi grew up, there was often a faint curve at the corner of her mouth. She retained her current liveliness but also had a bit of steadiness, making her look more lively and cute.

"So cute!" Mitsuhiko and Genta both exclaimed, praising her without reservation.

Yuan Tai pointed at Suzuki Sonoko beside him and said seriously: "She is definitely prettier than this sister!"

Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes, crossed her chest and snorted: "Humph, how can a little kid understand the charm of an adult?"

Mitsuhiko pulled Genta towards the machine: "Let's experience it quickly!"

There were two more clicks, and the photo fell out from the exit.

"Eh--"

Yuan Tai let out a long sigh in disappointment.

The photo only shows a short-haired, round-faced chubby boy and an ordinary young man with freckles and a middle-parted hairstyle.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at their photos, smiled with her eyes curved, and said, "Yes, yes!"

"I've seen high school students like this, all over the streets."

Mao Lilan smiled gently and comforted her: "Actually, the photos you two took are also very beautiful."

"Really?" Mitsuhiko and Genta opened their eyes wide, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Yeah!" Mao Lilan nodded.

The two children felt better.

"Then it's my and Xiaolan's turn!" Suzuki Sonoko took Mouri Ran's hand and walked towards the machine.

Two more photos fell.

Suzuki Sonoko held her own photo, looking a little doubtful about her life.

The photo shows a woman with short, home-style hair, her brown hair falling back, revealing a broad forehead.

However, her facial features are regular and her eyebrows are thin, and she looks energetic overall. It's just that the hairstyle makes her wide forehead exposed, which is a bit eye-catching.

Just like those rich hot moms on TV.

"Yes, yes, I've seen old ladies like this. They're everywhere on the streets." Yuan Tai said, pointing at the photo.

"You really are..." Suzuki Sonoko glanced at him.
