The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The mansion is very large. As you enter the door you will see a magnificent hall. Priceless art paintings are hung in a circle on the high walls, and thousands of glazed chandeliers shine brightly like stars.

There are arc-shaped steps on both sides leading to the second floor. The space above the first-floor hall is hollow, and one can easily see the hall from the corridor on the second floor. The rooms are distributed appropriately.

Behind the stairs leading to the second floor is a corridor on the first floor. There are rooms on both sides of the corridor, but they do not look like guest rooms. Several people speculated that they should be entertainment rooms, piano rooms or rooms for other purposes.

"Wow, it's really beautiful!"

There were stars in Ayumi's eyes. She was a veteran fan of idol dramas and was obviously longing for the luxurious mansions that could only be seen in such TV dramas.

"It's not good for us to run in without the owner's permission, right?" Mitsuhiko shrank his head. Although he thought it was spectacular in here, he also began to worry about his own rude behavior.

Yuan Tai was not panicked at all and pushed open another door: "This looks like a restaurant."

"I'm talking to you guys..." Dr. Agasa chased after them, panting, with a worried look on his face.

The three fake kids followed leisurely behind. Since they decided to stay and find out what was going on, they would not hesitate too much.

Just have to keep an eye on these three kids.

"Speaking of restaurants, it seems that the new hotel funded by the Suzuki Group is also opening today. They want to receive guests before Christmas." Conan suddenly remembered where Uncle Mouri and Xiaolan had gone.

"Uncle Suzuki, who always opposes Kidd, seems to have obtained an ancient bronze coffin from somewhere. There is a large ruby ​​on the back of the coffin lid. He intends to take this opportunity to declare war on Kidd again, and invited Uncle and Mr. Rin to visit."

Originally, as the "Kid's Nemesis" who is as famous as Mouri Kogoro and Rin Shakuha, Conan was also invited, but he had already promised the three little ones to go camping, so he did not go right away.

After all, although the hotel opened today, Suzuki Kichijiro's gem exhibition officially opened on Christmas Day, and Kidd would probably only show up on that day.

It would be better to go and see it in advance, but since he had already told the kids, Conan didn't mind these two days. It was just right that after the camping trip, he would take the three little ones and his own friends there to see Kidd's new tricks.

Chiyoko observed the surroundings with interest, holding the back of her head and said, "Why, you miss your sister Xiaolan after just one day of not seeing her?"

"What are you talking about..."

"So you're missing that confused uncle?" Huibara looked at him with a sad smile and teased.

"......" Conan squeezed his dead eyes and looked at the two people who followed his husband's lead.

Just as the two were teasing Conan, the three little ones suddenly shrank back out of the restaurant.

"What's wrong?" Huibara Ai, who cared more about the children than the other two, was the first to notice and asked them with concern.

"So scary..." Yuan Tai stuttered as he moved away from the restaurant door, not daring to even get close.

You know, for Yuantai, who attaches great importance to food, this is not just a simple fright.

"Ai, there is a strange black shadow inside!" Ayumi was crying and was very scared. She came up and hugged Haibara Ai's arm tightly.

"I think we should leave!" Mitsuhiko looked better than the other two, but he also nervously suggested running away.

The three fake kids frowned at the same time, looked at each other, and decided to go over and take a look.

Relying on her excellent body coordination, Chiyoko gently pushed the door open, silently opening a crack.

Conan quickly moved over and looked inside.

Haibara Ai stood aside with her arms folded, waiting for the results of their investigation.

Unlike the hall, the restaurant didn't have any lights on, and it was pitch dark and hard to see clearly.

However, both of them had strong observation skills and could vaguely see a tall, thin black figure standing in the restaurant, quietly standing next to the long dining table. Like a machine, he walked along the table with a terribly even pace. He would pause from time to time, and then lean slightly next to the seat.

Then he stood up again and walked to the next seat in exactly the same rhythm, over and over again.

This kind of action, coupled with the figure that looked like a tall and thin ghost in horror legends, made people feel weird.

Even Chiyoko and Conan felt a little tingling.

"what!!"

Just as they were about to go in to see who this person was, they heard the cries of three little ones behind them, followed by the sound of panicked and small footsteps.

"and many more!"

There was a hint of anxiety in Haibara Ai's cold voice. She wanted to call out to the children who were frightened away, but she was still a step too late.

Dr. Agasa began to sweat.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked, turning around.

"Follow them first, don't let anything get into trouble." Huibara Ai shook her head. Now was not the time to talk about this. The situation here was unclear, and it would be bad if the children ran around and got into an accident.

Conan expressed his understanding and quickly pulled Chiyoko and the doctor to chase after them.

Not long after a few people left.

Hey.

The door to the side was pushed open.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki stuck her head out and looked around with a confused expression.

Then she walked out, thought for a moment, and opened the door to the restaurant on the other side.

"Brother Adam, did you hear any noise?"

She casually turned on the light switch on the wall, and the gloomy atmosphere in the restaurant was dispelled by the warm and bright light, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked.

At the dining table, Adam, holding his plate, shook his head.

"Really?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu rubbed her messy hair suspiciously and began to doubt herself: "Did I hear it wrongly?"

"The boss arranged this personally, how could there be any outsiders here?" Adam answered casually, and continued with his planned butler skills training. He continued to think about the distance between the seats and the details of serving the dishes at the dining table.

The pace and rhythm, the angle of leaning, these are all details. Details determine success or failure. You must practice them well.

"That's right." Nanatsuki Koshimizu nodded in conviction. It was not her turn to question her teacher's methods.

"Could it be that I've been practicing speaking with Noah for too long and I have mental problems..."

She muttered and walked out sullenly.

A few seconds later, she rushed in again and asked with an expectant smile, "By the way, Brother Adam, when are we going to have dinner?"

"It's only six o'clock. Let's talk about it after seven."

"Oh..." Nanatsuki Koshimizu was visibly deflated.

"Dinner will be served at seven o'clock sharp."

"Okay!" He smiled instantly.

"I won't disturb you. Remember to turn on the lights when you practice, Brother Adam. It's not good for your eyes if it's too dark." She walked out with a smile, closing the door considerately.

Adam looked at the noisy little girl and shook his head helplessly.

His eyesight makes no difference whether the light is on or not.

Looking at the closed door, Adam thought back to the ignorant kids who had suddenly interrupted him from practicing his housekeeping skills a few minutes ago.

Forget it, if it can be allowed in, it must be the boss’s plan.

It's none of their business.

Adam circled the table again.

The lights were not turned off.

It’s open anyway.
