Inside the room.
What the person thought was a cleverly concealed installation method was, in the eyes of the two people in the room, utterly childish and laughable, like burying one's head in the sand.
Kuroba Chikage stood motionless at the door, his face clouded with dark clouds, looking frighteningly gloomy.
Kaito's little tricks were all things she had mastered more than a decade ago. However, she never imagined that one day her own son would use them on her.
Moreover, he's her own son!
Thinking back on how much mental work she had done to finally make up her mind to do what she was about to do, Kuroba Chikage's face grew even darker.
However, the smile never disappears... it just moves on.
Sitting on the bed, Yuu Nan quietly watched Kuroba Chikage's trembling back as she was fuming. She gently rubbed her temples with one hand, using all her strength to suppress her laughter.
Kudo, Hattori, and Kuroba—the three filial sons are finally complete.
Kuroba Chikage took a deep breath, then pushed open the door forcefully. With practiced ease, she took out the bugging device from under the door, crushed it, and casually tossed it into the hallway.
After completing this series of actions, she closed the door again and turned back into the room.
What exactly will happen here...?
"Um?"
Yuu Nan, with his legs crossed, spoke, interrupting Kuroba Chikage before he could finish speaking.
Kuroba Chikage's expression changed rapidly. Finally, she exhaled a breath of warm air with great difficulty and forced out a charming yet humiliating smile: "Master, what exactly will happen here today?"
"Want to know?" Yuzuru's tone was somewhat playful.
"think!"
Kuroba Chikage bit her lip and answered firmly.

...........
When I walked out of the room again.
With a satisfied look on his face, Yuzuru stretched out a big yawn, feeling refreshed, and all his fatigue vanished in an instant.
Behind him, Kuroba Chikage, disguised as Yata Ikumi, had her head down, and her makeup was somewhat messy for some reason.
Downstairs, the detectives gradually gathered in the living room.
While patiently waiting for the mysterious owner of the Twilight Villa who had invited them to appear, they also engaged in some entertainment to pass the time.
Kaito Kuroba, disguised as Hakuba Saguru, is playing a game of pool with Harufumi Mogi.
When he noticed Hanyu Nana and Yagami Ikumi slowly coming down from upstairs, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but show a disdainful expression and curl his lip.
It was expected that the listening device would be discovered.
After all, if Yuzuru were really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't have suffered so many losses in previous encounters.
"I wonder what those two have been doing in that room for so long?" Kaito Kuroba carefully placed the Black 8 into his bag, frowning as he pondered to himself.
On the other side, He Ye, Xiao Lan, and Xiao Ai were sitting together with great interest, playing a game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) that Yu Sheng Nan had taught them.
"A royal flush!"
"4 with 2!"
"From 3 to Ace, a straight."
"Yay, it's spring again, I won this round, time to pay up, time to pay up, time to pay up."
As the landlord, Xiao Lan was so happy that she danced around and casually threw down all the cards in her hand.
Judging from her words, this was clearly not her first spring.
Kazuha, sitting across the hall, hadn't even finished looking at the cards yet.
Yuzuru walked over slowly and looked at Ai's scattered cards, 3456, without a 7, with great sympathy.
Who gave them the audacity to play cards with the lucky Xiaolan?
Even if Lady Luck comes your way, you'll still get to eat two fried foods.
Ran received a shiny, exquisitely crafted maple leaf coin from each of the reluctant Kazuha and Ai, and looked up with a smug look, saying, "Nan, are you all packed?"
"Yes, it's all packed."
Yuzuru nodded, then reached out and pulled out a Jack of Spades from the cards played by Ran. With a slight pressure between his fingers, another card was drawn from below the Jack of Spades.
The two cards were stuck together by a piece of old, dark-colored blood.
Seeing this, Ran and Kazuha, who are both terrified of ghosts, reacted very differently.
Xiao Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she screamed, "Ah!"
He Ye's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Xiao Lan, you're cheating! Give me back my gold coins!"
One was terrified and panicked, while the other instantly became energetic and no longer afraid of ghosts.
Indeed, money can cure all ills!
Those shiny, exquisitely crafted maple leaf gold coins are especially popular with the girls in the family; they are often used as chips when playing cards.
"This bloodstain is probably about 40 years old, right?" Ai took the card from Yuzuru Hanyu, stared at the dark bloodstain on it, and calmly analyzed.
"Yes, everything in this villa has remained exactly as it was since that horrific massacre. No one has touched it. It's just that I never expected that even these little playing cards would be stained with blood. It's really a headache."
The old lady, Chisami Kazuyo, walked over slowly and spoke gently, her expression somewhat solemn.
A hint of fear appeared on Xiaolan's face. She timidly moved closer to Yuzuru Nan and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Nan, I'm a little scared."
Yuzuru gently patted Ran's shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then, he turned to look at the composed Chima Kazuyo and thought to himself: These veteran detectives are indeed all incredibly skilled actors. If someone didn't know the inside story, they might actually be fooled by their realistic performance.
But sorry, he has a God's-eye view.
...........
Xiao Lan actually managed to pull off a clever trick this time, which was quite unusual.
Pretending to be afraid, and successfully using the comfort given by Yuzuru, she managed to get away from Kazuha's attention and secretly pocketed the two maple leaf gold coins she won from the game.
The group discussed with great interest in the living room the horrific massacre that had occurred at the Twilight Villa forty years ago.
Time slipped away quietly amidst the lively discussion, until the maid arrived.
Maid Aki Ishihara bowed respectfully at the door: "I apologize for keeping you all waiting. Dinner has finally been carefully prepared. Please move to the dining room, where the master is waiting for your arrival."
As she spoke, she turned to the side and gestured an invitation.
"The main character is finally about to appear!"
Heiji Hattori and Conan, who had been trying to keep a low profile ever since someone arrived, perked up instantly upon hearing Aki Ishihara's words and took the lead, heading out the door.
