"You are crazy" Alois said when Ciel finished telling them her theory.
"I agree" Luke said.
"There's no way that guy is Seung Ri. Seung Ri has a visible Korean accent when speaking English. The imposter has no accent. The imposter is taller and thinner than Seung Ri" Ciel said.
"No one noticed that this isn't the real Seung Ri?" Alois asked.
"Look at this photo" Ciel enlarged a photo of Seung Ri at Incheon International Airport. Alois and Luke looked at the huge screen where the photo was displayed.
"This was when he was leaving South Korea, right?" Luke asked.
"His fashion style is rather nice. The skinny jeans, red and white stripped shirt, dark blue blazer and shades. His hair's styled into spikes" Alois said.
"Now look at this" Ciel enlarged a photo of Seung Ri leaving Heathrow Airport.
"The same clothes and hairstyle. Wait, hold on. Enlarge the photo a bit more" Alois said.
Ciel nodded and Alois held up his hand to stop her. He stepped forward and then pointed at Seung Ri's wrist where there was small red burn.
"How did the burn heal so quickly? He has a burn at Incheon but at Heathrow the burn had vanished" Alois asked.
"Makeup?" Luke suggested.
"You can't put makeup on burns. That irritates it even more" Ciel replied.
"Can you see this as well?" Alois pointed up to Seung Ri's eyebrows.
"There's a hole on his right eyebrow" Ciel noted.
"Seung Ri has never had piercings but here he has a hole showing that he had a piercing done. That's impossible unless someone carries needles on planes" Alois said.
"Do you have a video of him coming out from the airport?" Luke asked.
"Yeah I do" Ciel pulled out the videos and played them side by side.
"Now I can see the change in personalities" Luke said.
"So this Seung Ri is an imposter" Alois concluded.
"But when did this switch up happen? He was there in Incheon but then out from Heathrow came this imposter" Luke asked.
"Did he take a direct flight or did it have a stopover somewhere?" Ciel asked.
"Direct flight. Something must have happened in the airport" Alois replied.
"But airports have strict check-in and customs. There is no way he got out that easily" Luke said.
"So the switch happened in the plane then" Ciel said.
"But how did he get out of Heathrow Airport?" Luke asked.
"That's what I'm wondering" Ciel replied.
Sebastian and Claude who were silent throughout this discussion suddenly straightened up. They both glanced at each other and nodded.
"This switch happened at Heathrow" Claude said.
"Someone should have noticed it then" Luke pointed out.
"The real Seung Ri was kidnapped and the imposter took his place. The question is why? Who would do this?" Ciel asked.
"That answer will be only be known by the impersonator himself" Alois replied.
They returned to the studio and Yoo welcomed them back enthusiastically.
"He's currently finishing up the shoot so you'll need to wait" Yoo said.
"We're fine with waiting. I had an emergency that prompted us to leave" Ciel said.
Luke stayed right next to Claude as they watched Seung Ri. The Korean star or the imposter seemed to have rather passable dance moves.
"Come on, Lee. Let's have some energy!" the director shouted and Seung Ri nodded.
They continued on until Seung Ri had the dance moves perfect on camera.
"Cut! That's it for the day" The director announced and Seung Ri grabbed a towel.
"You guys again?" he said as he walked towards them. His eyes fell on Luke and smirked.
"We need to talk to you. Alone" Ciel said with a significant look to Yoo.
In an empty conference room, Ciel and Alois sat opposite Seung Ri. Seung Ri's eyes would wander around the room and then stop at Luke for a couple of seconds longer and then again begin the cycle anew.
"We know you're not the real Seung Ri" Ciel said.
The imposter sat up straight at this, his eyes wide. His hands fisted and he smiled.
"I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about" he said.
"Tell us where you've kept Seung Ri. We'll let you go free if you tell us" Ciel said.
"I'm sorry but you must be confused"
"Cut the crap. Where'd you hide Seung Ri?" Alois asked.
"You all are mad" The imposter said.
Ciel waved Sebastian over and whispered in his ear. Sebastian nodded and stood directly behind the imposter. He placed an ungloved hand over the back of the imposter's neck and closed his eyes.
"What are you doing? Wait..." The imposter slumped over in a deep sleep.
"Wow that was great. Now, why did you knock him out?" Alois asked.
"For this" Ciel stood up and walked over to the guy. She ran her hands through his hair and pulled off the wig revealing short and spiked brown hair. She pulled the guy's head back and removed the contact lenses revealing green eyes.
"Can I have a wet tissue?" she asked Claude who handed one to her. She wiped off the makeup revealing pale skin and a lot of beauty spots on the guy's neck and forehead.
"And we have our imposter. One question, who is he?" Luke asked.
"Call Yoo in here. He needs to know about this and we need to find out where the real Seung Ri is" Ciel replied.
"Oh my god!" Yoo exclaimed when he walked into the room. "Who is he? Where is Seung Ri?"
"This man was impersonating Seung Ri. My guess is that he kidnapped Seung Ri and disguised himself" Ciel replied.
"Get up, you fool!" Alois punched the guy who started awake.
He glanced at Yoo and Ciel and then laughed. "I guess the jig is up".
"Damn right it is" Ciel seated herself on the chair again. "Now tell us why you did all this and where Seung Ri is".
"I didn't do this on my own. I was hired" The guy replied.
"You're obviously half Korean. Why'd you do all this?" Alois asked.
"My name is Nam Frank. I live in London as a thief and art forger. I got an opportunity from one of the bosses to act like this Korean guy and I took it up" the guy replied.
"If you're an art forger you must be after something huge. What is it?" Ciel asked.
"Seung Ri was in South Korea just a few days ago. There at the airport gift shop he bought a music box. To him it was probably worth thirty dollars or less but it was actually an ancient music box dating back to the early eighteenth century England"
"How did an ancient music box end up in Korea?" Ciel asked.
"I don't know. Only three exist in the world. My boss wanted the last one and I couldn't get it by buying it from him. I needed to deliver it and then return Seung Ri back to where he was" Frank replied.
"You did all this for a stupid music box? So where is the music box now? Did you find it?" Ciel asked.
"I don't know. I never found it in Seung Ri's room. My boss was angered that I couldn't find it and sent a guy to threaten me but he couldn't hurt me because I came to the hotel later than expected. I still haven't found the music box" Frank replied.
"So where is this music box?" Ciel asked Yoo.
"Well, Seung Ri did have a package in the waiting lounge but then he had to go to the toilet and left it on his seat. Then the announcement for boarding came and I rushed to find him. I guess I left the music box behind and he never asked me about it" Yoo replied.
"So where is Seung Ri now?" Ciel asked Frank.
"Two of my boss's men and I grabbed him from the toilet in Heathrow Airport. We stripped him and I wore his clothes. I also styled my hair like his and wore those contact lenses. I can't believe Mr. Yoo didn't notice a thing" Frank replied.
"Where did they take him?" Alois asked.
"The fort on the beach where the demon lives" Frank replied.
