Detective Conan

"please.. help me" Alice maintained her eye contact with Nick. Her voice was lower and more of begging than commanding tone. Her lips trembled as she tried to control her emotion, her eyes was getting misty. Nicks' eyes was darker, then he closed his eyes for few second.

"Come and talk inside. I don't want people under impression that I am bullying you"

Nick closed the door once Alice was inside.

when the door closed. Alice lost her composure, she grabber the photo from her handbag and took Nick hand and stuffed the photo into his hand.

"look please , look at this" she pleaded with tremble voice.

Nick looked at the photos but he had no idea what to look at and why these picture related to him. He lifted his head and look at Alice eyes then shrugged his shoulder.

Alice suddenly enlightened that Nick didn't knew her problem.

"look, the date on those photos was last week, the night you help me and brought me here. Do you remember ?" Nick nodded.

"My dad came, he gave me these photos. He was so mad, he disowned me" her tears started falling down again.

Nick touched her broken lips unconsciously, his eye looked darker

"did he do it? Sit down" Alice nodded as Nick asked her to sit down on the sofa. He headed to the kitchen and back with a glass of warm water "drink it".

Alice who was already sitting on the sofa, took the glass and only hold it . "drink it. you need water" Nicks repeated his command before Alice obediently drank it.

Nick got the photos and he arranged them all on the table. He observed the pictures. Afterwhile, he moved them around, looked like playing puzzle. Then. he started his silent investigation in the similar way as detective conan, his favourite comic. He was so cool, Alice was mesmerized by him. When Alice was aware of what in her mind is, she quickly shook her head to get rid of it and she reminded her seft "come on Alice, you are here for important business not to admire this guy"

Nick held his chin with hand while tapping the table with finger from the other hand.

" I saw you get off from a cab and vomitted then you lost your consciousness, but the cab just went like that. I have no heart to leave a girl on the street so I took you home. " He paused a bit.

"The girl in this picture is you. But the rest of them are not"

"really ? how do you know ?" Alice was excited, her face turned brighter.

" here, pay more attention. All picture have date and time. The time shown on one picture was only few minutes different from others, but judging from the background, all these picture were taken from different places. It's imposible for you to be at different place in short time, unless you are Hermione.

Also, the girl dress in the these picture were actually slightly different" Nick presented his analysis before concluded "These has been Photoshoped for sure"

"really ?" Alice was excited

Nick was an IT professional. Also, during his high school and university time, he dealt alot with internet so he was familiar with this trick. Honestly speaking, He did use photoshop to prank his friends back there.

Nick pointed at the picture where Alice was lying naked.

"Do you have mould on the right side of your chest?" teased Nick

Alice unconsciously cover her chest

"no, I have birth mark but not there, it was between my breasts" She said spontaneously. When she realised what she said, she wanted to dig a hole and buried her self.

Nick made a small cough to hide his laughter, before he continued.

"look, at this line, see.. this soft line indicate that your face was copied and pasted to other people body"

Alice was happy, her eyes shone. Unconsciously she hugged Nick

"thank you, please come with me and explained it to my dad . please.. I beg you"

Nick looked at the clock.

"it won't take to long, Ok?"

"ok. where does your dad stay ?"

"I don't know" Alice hung her head.

"hold on, I can try call his secretary to find out where he is staying. I know one of them" Alice smiled brightly and cheerfully.

Hermione that Nick referred is actualy Harry potter friend. it means if alice has magic to be in diffrent place like in 3rd Harry Potter book.
