Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Wakasa Rumi held up the piece of stone in both hands and noticed the unnatural color change on the stone: "Look carefully, the color of this stone seems to have faded a little."

Huihara Ai came forward and looked at the stone. "It seems that someone has painted this stone and pretended it is a meteorite."

Wakasa Rumi whispered to herself, "But who would do that?"

Huiyuan Ai guessed: "I think it's probably the ranch owner. He seemed to be so short of money that he had to close the ranch."

Yuan Tai held the "light" in his arms, looking confused: "But, there are a lot of magnets on this table. Aren't fake meteorites not reactive to magnets? Then why is it still..."

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Yuya Kazami's mind, and his eyes brightened.

"Could it be that the real meteorite was swapped? The rancher picked up the meteorite and asked an expert to help identify its value, but when the expert sent the stone back, he said it was an ordinary stone.

The rancher didn't believe it. He tried hard to argue that it was impossible, but the other party ignored him. It was probably at that time.

Then, he carefully examined the meteorite that was sent back, and found that it was actually a piece of colored stone. He finally realized that he had been deceived, and finally he committed suicide in despair. "

Yuya Kazami finished his reasoning in one breath and looked at everyone nervously.

After everyone finished listening to his analysis, Amuro Toru was about to speak, but before he finished his words, he said, "Tobita, your reasoning..."

He was interrupted by Feng Jianyuya, who quickly waved his hands to explain: "I, I just said it casually, sorry."

Who would have thought that the second half of Amuro Toru's sentence would be: "I think you are right."

Yuya Kazami's face was full of disbelief.

Kudo Yuki was silent for a while: "That makes sense."

Conan smiled and said, "I think so too."

Amuro Toru looked at everyone and slowly revealed the clue: "There is a bathroom in this basement. You have been locked up in this place for so long, but Jing did not ask us for water and food."

Conan confirmed with Yuya Kazami: "So, there are some supplies here, right?"

"Yes, there is bread and water."

Kudo Yuki put one hand in her pocket and gently stroked Shushu's fur. "That means that person doesn't want our lives."

"Then why did he lock us up?"

Conan stroked his chin and thought: "He doesn't want us to get in his way. He wants to seek revenge on the liar who pushed his brother into a desperate situation."

Kobayashi Sumiko's eyes moved slightly, and she felt uneasy: "You said revenge, but he stole a lot of bombs before. Could it be that he wanted to use bombs to..."

Ayumi exclaimed, "I remember now. That place with a lot of burnt branches, there were a lot of thin, long stick-like things tied to the surrounding tree trunks."

Conan asked anxiously: "Are you telling the truth?"

Ayumi nodded repeatedly: "And they even covered it up with something. I saw there were so many of them."

After hearing this, Conan suddenly turned around to look at his sister and Amuro Toru, but a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart: "Could it be that..."

Kudo Yuki thought about the seriousness of the matter, and her face became solemn: "He wants to lure all those people who are looking for meteorites there, and then blow them all up."

Shu Shu was still looking at the big screen. The picture on the screen showed that Kaisuke Hatoyama, Junya Hituka and Kei Minami were walking forward in the dim environment. Their flashlight beams were shaking in the darkness, trying to find the figure of that person.

They ran into Kano Shogo not far ahead. Hizaku Junya held a flashlight and said, "Finally I found you. You actually made it here."

Nan Wujing also followed suit: "We have been looking for a long time."

Kano Shogo put down his phone, and the light on the screen disappeared at that moment. He did not look back, but just stood there quietly. "Sorry, I don't plan to go with you."

Having said that, he continued walking forward, his figure gradually disappearing in the beam of the flashlight.

Seeing this, Hatoyama Kaisuke hurriedly stopped him and said, "Are you looking for meteorites? I'll take you to where the meteorites fell. Anyway, I have no interest in meteorites at all."

A sincere expression appeared on Hatoyama Kaisuke's face as he waited for Kano Shogo's response.

Upon hearing this, Kano Shogo stopped and looked back at Hatoyama Kaisuke, thinking about his proposal.

At the same time, several people locked in the basement were discussing countermeasures.

Conan asked about the specific location: "Ayumi, do you know where that place full of burnt branches is?"

Ayumi recalled seriously, "Yes. There is a forest next to the chicken farm. Just walk straight for a distance into the forest and you will arrive."

"I remember now." Yuya Kazami recalled the scene when he was knocked unconscious and provided a clue. "I was also knocked unconscious from behind near there."

In the office, Huiyuan Ai stood by the window, looking at the faint light in the distance, holding the communicator in her hand, with a worried look on her face. "Oh no, there are lights and shadows moving around in the woods. It seems that the man and the three people are heading that way."

Conan immediately said: "Habara, do you have red and blue markers, and transparent tape?"

After hearing Conan's words, the two kids and Wakasa Rumi began to rummage through the drawer.

"Ah, I found it."

"There are a few oil-based pens in the pen holder."

“There’s scotch tape in the drawer.”

Huiyuan Ai turned her head and looked at the things the three people took out, with a puzzled look on her face: "But, what do you plan to do with these things?"

Conan held a watch flashlight in one hand and a tool in the other, "I want you to make something, a magic light, to illuminate the man who forced the rancher to death."

The four people in the room began to get busy according to the steps Conan said.

"First, put transparent tape on the dial of the watch, then use a blue marker to cover the tape on the dial, then put another layer of tape on it, and then use a blue marker to cover it.

Finally, put another layer of tape on it and this time paint it with a red marker, and now you have a replica black light."

Yuan Tai scratched his head in confusion: "But, what's the use of this? It just turns the white light into dark purple."

"Then shine the purple light from the black light towards the place where the highlighter was stepped on."

The two little ones did as they were told doubtfully, and when the purple light shone on the ground, they opened their mouths in surprise.

“It’s so, so amazing!”

"The highlighter ink and footprints are glowing."

Conan took the opportunity to spread some knowledge: "Although the light from a black light is very dim, if the object illuminated contains fluorescent substances, it will glow."

Kudo Yuki translated into words that only Sanxiao could understand: "As long as the criminal steps on the fluorescent pen, the soles of his shoes will be stained with fluorescent ink. When the black light is used, we can tell who the criminal is."

Huihara Ai was confused again. She frowned slightly and said, "But this highlighter was stepped on several days ago. It would only work if the person happened to be wearing those shoes today."

"Don't worry, as long as he has the possibility of wearing the same pair of shoes, everything is within my expectations." Conan said confidently: "Graybara, the Hatoyama Kaisuke who locked us up, when you saw him, he was holding a mobile phone in his hand, right?"

"Yes, but he wasn't on the phone. He was holding the phone tightly."

"Haibara, listen to me, this is going to be very dangerous. Take what I just said and go to the place where Ayumi said there is a bomb tied to the tree trunk."

"Ok."

"By the way, Haibara." Conan's voice became much softer.

"You spoke too quietly. I couldn't hear you."

Conan whispered again: "Don't let your guard down against Mr. Wakasa."

Haibara Ai turned back slightly to watch Wakasa Rumi and the two kids moving things. "Listen carefully, Kojima and Tsuburaya, you wait here for news from Edogawa and the others, and then do as they say."

The two little ones nodded in agreement.

"The lights and shadows are heading towards where the bomb is." Huihara Ai held the flashlight in her hand, "Okay, Mr. Wakasa, let's go."

Before leaving, Wakasa Rumi turned her head to look at the house, and then the two of them walked towards the dangerous place together.

Ayumi looked worried: "Ai and the others will be okay, right?"

"Don't worry, Huibara will act carefully." Conan held the communicator and looked at Ayumi, "Also, I told them to escape immediately if the situation becomes serious."

Amuro Toru suddenly asked at this moment, frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "That girl named Huihara Ai, I feel like I have seen her somewhere before."

"Yes, I have." Conan glanced at his elder sister.

Kudo Yuki made a "hush" gesture, and Conan understood and quickly turned to Amuro Toru and said, "Do you remember that day? We were locked in a cold chain delivery truck, and it was you, Amuro brother, who saved us."

"So she was there too." Amuro Toru bent down slightly, recalling the scene at that time, "She always kept her hat pulled down very low. I thought she was more introverted."

"Alright, okay."

"But is this true, Ms. Kudo?" Kobayashi Sumiko was a little doubtful: "Mr. Kaisuke planned to lead those three people to the place where the bomb was installed and then blow them all up."

"The meteorite falling video that the man who was fighting with Toru watched was probably faked by Hatoyama Kaisuke. He must have downloaded the video from the Internet and added human voices to it. After all, where there is a meteorite, there are likely to be other meteorites falling nearby. The scammer who wanted to steal the meteorite would definitely fall for it immediately after seeing the video."

"But I don't understand." Mitsuhiko took out the communicator. "Since that person has deceived us once, why would he come again? If it were me, would I be worried about being recognized and would not dare to come here?"

Yuya Kazami thought: "After all, the liar succeeded once, so he would think that the other party is easy to deceive. Besides, he may have done some simple disguise."

Shushu was watching the pictures on the big screen in Kudo Yuki's pocket with great interest. His little head would shake from time to time, and he was completely immersed in it.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were elsewhere, Kudo Yuki quietly took Shushu out of her pocket. Her movements were very gentle, but Shushu was still startled, and his small body swayed in the air.

She communicated telepathically, with a teasing look in her eyes: "Shu Shu, are you just watching the show by yourself? You look like you are enjoying it very much."

Shu Shu twisted his body guiltily, "Xiao Xue, please don't hold me like this, okay? I can watch it with you, right?"

As it spoke, it placed the big screen in front of Kudo Yuki, pointed at the screen with its little paws, and introduced Kudo Yuki to her.

Amuro Toru looked back and forth between Kudo Yuki, Shushu and the system screen. He thought to himself: "This screen is like watching a live broadcast, it's really amazing. I just don't know how long I can see this screen this time? This little squirrel is indeed something unusual. 】

So, Toru Amuro also looked at the picture on the system screen, and saw that in the woods on the screen, Junya Hatsuka, Kei Minamitake and Shogo Kano, each of them was holding a flashlight in their hands.

Hatsuka Junya accidentally stepped on a branch on the ground, making a crisp "crack" sound. "There are a lot of burnt branches on the ground here." He frowned and shone the flashlight around.

Nan Wujing also discovered something unusual, "There's a ditch here."

"But it breaks off here. Did it bounce somewhere? Where?" Kano Shogo looked at the ground.

The three of them shone flashlights on the ground and discussed in low voices where the meteorite was.

The scene changed and Hatoyama Kaisuke stood in the woods, gritting his teeth, wishing he could kill the man to avenge his brother.

He held the phone tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand, showing his extreme anger.

Haibara Ai and Wakasa Rumi quietly came behind him.

"Oh, it's the uncle I met during the day."

"What are you doing in this place?"

Hatoyama Kaisuke turned around and saw them, with a surprised expression: "Why are you here?"

Haibara Ai handed him the detective badge, "We're here to give this to you."

"Badge, badge?" Hatoyama Kaisuke took it in his hand.

Conan spoke directly using the badge communicator: "Uncle, your brother was cheated of the meteorite, and now you want to avenge him, right?"

Hatoyama Kaisuke frowned slightly and looked nervous. He didn't say anything, but just held the badge tightly.

"I am one of the children that you, uncle, locked in the basement during the day."

"Then you should still be in the basement."

"Well, uncle, look towards the ranch. You should be able to see from there that we have already escaped and called the police."

Hatoyama Kaisuke looked towards the house. The lights in the house came on and his face became gloomy. "Damn it."

The person who pressed the light in the room was Yuantai, with a happy expression on his face.

Ayumi gave the order: "Yuanta, that's enough."

Mitsuhiko made an OK gesture with a happy gleam in his eyes.

Kobayashi Sumiko smiled: "It seems to be going smoothly."

Conan gave a thumbs up and murmured into the communicator: "I want to discuss something with you. Do you want to find out who cheated your brother before the police arrive?"

"what!"

To be continued...
