Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Conan sighed and said, "Mr. Amuro, now can you tell us what you are doing here?"

Although I have a rough guess, the details still need to be told by Toru Amuro.

Amuro Toru did not answer, but looked at Kazami Yuya: "On this matter, Tobita, you should explain it."

Yuya Kazami responded and began to explain the whole story.

About 30 hours ago, Yuya Kazami received news that a large amount of explosives had been stolen from a construction site. Suspecting that someone was going to use the explosives to commit a crime, he launched an investigation.

Coincidentally, Yuya Kazami discovered a suspicious worker and followed him to the ranch. However, he was knocked unconscious due to carelessness, and when he woke up, he was already in this basement.

And this suspicious worker was Kaisuke Hatoyama.

He then used the phone found on the corpse to contact Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro came here to save people.

Amuro Toru shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "That's what I thought, but I didn't expect that I would be caught as well."

Kobayashi Sumiko was amazed: "So detectives can do the same secret investigations as the police!"

Conan laughed and said, of course, he is a public security officer.

Toru Amuro smiled politely and winked at Conan without further explanation.

Kazami Yuya said in a deep voice: "The question now is why Hatoyama Kaisuke would kill his own brother and steal so much explosives."

Conan denied it: "No, I think this person committed suicide."

"Suicide? Why?" Kobayashi Sumiko and Kazami Yuya were surprised.

Conan pointed at the body on the bed and said, "Look, there's only a mark of strangulation on this person's neck, and no signs of struggle."

Kobayashi Sumiko bravely looked at the neck of the corpse and found that it was the same as Conan said. However, she didn't know much about solving cases, so she asked uncertainly: "Is that so?"

Conan nodded and carefully explained to Kobayashi Sumiko that if a person was strangled to death, there would be a mark on the neck called Yoshikawa line left by the struggle.

In addition, there were no signs of binding on the wrists of the corpse, so the person was not strangled to death by tying his hands.

Feng Jianyu couldn't help but ask a question: "Is it possible that he was given sleeping pills and then pushed down from a high place and hanged to death?"

Conan said no, because the only place to hang oneself in the basement is through the table, but the boots of the corpse were taken off next to the table. If someone pushed him down, regardless of whether the conditions were met, there would be no need for the murderer to take off the person's shoes first, right?

Even if they are taken off, generally they are taken off after the body is put down, and the shoes should be next to the bed rather than next to the table.

Kazami Yuya immediately said: "But when I woke up, there were footprints on the chair, which I wiped off before sitting on it."

Amuro Toru asked, "Is that footprint from a boot?"

Kazami Yuya shook his head: "No, it's leather shoes."

Toru Amuro immediately knew that the footprint must be that of Yoshisuke Hatoyama because he was wearing leather shoes.

Yoshisuke Hatoyama must have found his brother who had committed suicide in the basement, so he stepped on a chair to put his brother down.

"The question is what the motive for the suicide was."

Conan said slowly: "I think he might be investigating something."

He grabbed the deceased's left hand, and there were marks left by a highlighter on the index finger and thumb, and there were two highlighters in the deceased's breast pocket.

Kobayashi Sumiko agreed, "Indeed, I do use a highlighter to mark things when I'm researching."

Mitsuhiko also shared his own experience: "Sometimes I accidentally poke my hand with the pen tip because I don't align the pen cap properly, leaving a mark."

However, there were traces of pink, blue and yellow highlighters on the deceased's left hand, but in his chest pocket, there were only pink and blue highlighters, no yellow one.

Toru Amuro glanced around the basement, then opened the desk drawer and took a look, but didn't find the yellow highlighter.

"Did you forget your pen somewhere, or did you lose it for some reason?"

Kobayashi Sumiko suddenly said, "Compared to this, I'm more worried about Mr. Wakasa and the others outside."

Conan said lightly: "With Brother Yuya here, nothing will happen."

Are you really okay? Kobayashi Sumiko couldn't help but look up, as if she wanted to see through the basement ceiling to see outside.

The other party is the criminal who imprisoned them in the basement. Even though he knows that You is a detective, he still can't help but worry.

Feng Jianyu also said worriedly: "Your phones have been taken away, and there is no way to contact them."

Conan took out his detective badge and said with a smile, "It's okay, we can use this."

Mitsuhiko said with a bitter face: "But, this badge is only possessed by our Junior Detective League."

Conan smiled slightly: "That's right, but don't forget, isn't Ayumi's badge in the backpack?"

Mitsuhiko slapped his palm and said in surprise: "Yes, Ayumi's backpack is with Sister Mio!"

···

at the same time.

Yuya and his friends, who didn't find Ayumi in the direction of the ranch, also returned to the studio.

After waiting for a long time, Conan and others did not come back.

Yuya glanced at the time, a little confused: "That's strange. We agreed to meet here in an hour, whether we found the person or not. Why hasn't he returned yet?"

Wakasa Rumi said worriedly, "Could something have happened?"

Yuya pondered, with Toru Amuro and Conan around, nothing would be a problem, right?

But just in case, he took out his cell phone and called Conan, but it was turned off.

Out of battery? Yuu didn't think much about it and called Amuro Toru's phone, but it was also turned off.

Yuya frowned slightly. It might be a coincidence that one person's phone was out of battery and turned off, but the probability of two people doing the same thing was too small.

Especially as an undercover agent for public security and an organization, Toru Amuro must keep his mobile phone on standby all day and will not turn it off easily.

At this moment, Yuya and the other two suddenly heard Conan's voice vaguely.

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on Ayumi's backpack in her hand, and she took out a detective badge from it. Conan's voice immediately became clear.

"Yuya, can you hear me? If you can, answer me now!"

Youya quickly came over and said, "It's me. Why are your phones all turned off?"

Conan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the badge was connected, and quickly recounted what happened when they were locked in the basement.

The rancher's body is in the basement? Yuya's mouth twitched slightly. As expected of you, Conan, there is always a case when you go out.

"It's the ranch basement, right? Did you find Ayumi?"

Conan said that he found her, but she was drugged by Yoshisuke Hatoyama and was in a coma, so her life was not in danger.

Youye breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay. We'll go get you out right away."

"Wait, don't act rashly!" Conan hurriedly stopped him.

"That guy stole a large amount of explosives from the construction site. If we provoke him, who knows what he might do!"

A large amount of explosives? Yuya's pupils shrank slightly.

No, the storage measures at this construction site are too poor. Can someone steal something like explosives so easily?
