Ke Xue: I got two Kaleidoscopes at the beginning

"The master actually specifically asked the cook to wake him up every morning. Normally, this kind of thing would be left to the maid or the butler, right?"

Upon hearing this, the butler beside him couldn't help but fall into reminiscence and said slowly: "Well...about this matter, I was actually very confused."

"Every time I tried to dissuade the master from doing those weird things, he would stare at me with an incredulous look, as if he didn't believe what I said at all. Now that I think about it, maybe the master doesn't trust me..."

At this moment, Xiao Ai, who had been lying quietly in Ye Yu's arms, raised her head and suddenly spoke in a clear and pleasant voice: "Regarding the strangeness of this room you just mentioned... Haven't you noticed that the carpet seems to have become a little bigger than before?"

Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original silence in the room.

When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads and looked at the carpet under their feet.

Sure enough, after careful observation, the sharp-eyed Conan was the first to discover the clue. He pointed his finger at the place that was obscured by the table and sofa and seemed a little inconspicuous, and shouted loudly.

"Look! There are two cuts on the carpet here!"

Following Conan's guidance, everyone's eyes were focused on the cut.

The two cuts were straight and long, as if someone had deliberately made them with an extremely sharp knife.

Even the old housekeeper who had lived here for most of his life was dumbfounded at this moment, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Perhaps even he himself had not expected that such a shocking secret was hidden in this seemingly familiar room.

However, in stark contrast to the butler, Conan and Heiji were extremely excited about obtaining this new clue. They were completely immersed in the joy of reasoning and were completely unaware of the old butler's inner turmoil and his deep doubts about his self-awareness.

"So, if you could pull the cut out of the carpet and remove it, and then reassemble the remaining carpet... the entire carpet would be significantly smaller."

Conan analyzed to himself while starting to work skillfully.

Heiji nodded thoughtfully, then added, "Indeed, based on this inference, the coffin we first saw should actually be placed closer to the center of the room."

In the next moment, as if God wanted to verify Heiji's guess, a handle actually appeared in the place that was originally tightly covered by the carpet.

When they carefully turned and pulled the handle, a door hidden in the dark suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"As expected, there is a secret hidden here, with such a sophisticated mechanism set up." Heiji couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"In that case, then next, we have to carefully explore what is so strange about that so-called supernatural photo." Conan frowned slightly, pinched his chin gently, and said thoughtfully.

At this time, Ye Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "About that mirror, it's actually a two-way mirror."

Hearing this, Conan was slightly stunned at first, then nodded in sudden realization, expressing his agreement: "Yes, it is just as I expected. The situation is just as I thought."

Seeing Conan like this, Ye Yu couldn't help but murmur softly: "You are such a grown-up, but why are you still like a child, always competing to see who can find clues faster..."

However, Conan didn't intend to let go of this opportunity to show off. He raised his fist and gently hit Ye Yu's back a few times, muttering: "It was me! I was the first to find it!"

Of course, the reason why he chose to hit the back instead of the chest was simple - at this moment Ye Yu was holding Xiao Ai firmly in his chest.

At the same time, while everyone's attention was focused on discussing the case, Ye Yu quietly nodded slightly to the figure holding a camera and revealing a small red hand in the Shenwei space not far away.

Well done, Kula!

At this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was standing aside, took in the scene happening before his eyes. His originally bright eyes instantly turned into two small eyes.

Hey! Kudo is actually acting so unscrupulously in front of his own brother!

Thinking back, before his brother was around, this kid never looked like this!

However, Hattori Heiji quickly came to his senses and shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind.

Then, he calmed down and asked seriously, "I'd like to ask, when you usually take family photos, do you all stand with your backs against the wall?"

In response to the question raised by Hattori Heiji, the butler first nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then responded slowly.

"That's right, Master. Our family has always taken family photos this way. Even the placement of the chairs is basically fixed, pretty much the same as what you see now."

The butler paused briefly, then quickly added, "However, this time the photoshoot is a little different. The master specifically requested that a few young ladies help press the shutter button. Usually, this task is performed by our maid, Xiaoguang."

Hearing what the butler said, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, his face full of suspicion.

Conan, standing nearby, blinked his bright eyes and asked curiously, "Why is this happening? Why did someone else suddenly press the shutter?"

"Well..."

The butler frowned slightly, then after a moment's thought, he slowly said, "Actually, when the master used to take pictures, the job of pressing the shutter was always done by Miss Qingshui, who passed away half a year ago."

"And now, probably because Miss Shimizu is gone, the master has asked Xiaoguang, the maid who took over Miss Shimizu's job, to do this job. In my opinion, the master is just looking for someone to replace her." After saying this, the butler shook his head slightly.
