Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Ayumi is missing, and everyone is now divided into two groups looking for Ayumi.

In the woods.

Ayumi pounced on the chicken like a hungry tiger, pinned it down and picked it up.

Ayumi let out a long sigh: "Finally caught you."

Ayumi, who was holding the chicken, didn't have time to be happy before she found herself somewhere unknown.

"Strange, where is this place? There are a lot of burnt branches here, and there are strange marks on the ground. It seems that there is something wrapped around the tree."

Ayumi opened the thing wrapped around the tree trunk, and found explosives tied inside.

But Ayumi didn't recognize the explosive and asked in confusion, "What is this long and thin thing?"

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps. Ayumi turned around and looked, her expression immediately filled with fear.

...

"Ayumi!"

"Yoshida-kun!"

"Answer us if you hear us!"

Mr. Kobayashi, Toru Amuro, Conan and Mitsuhiko kept calling out.

A man wearing a fisherman's hat came over and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

Teacher Kobayashi replied, “Yes!”

"Hello, I'm the younger brother of Hatoyama Yoshisuke, the owner of Hatoyama Ranch. My name is Hatoyama Kaisuke. I couldn't contact my brother the past two days, so I came here today to check on the situation."

Mitsuhiko quickly said to Hatoyama Kaisuke: "A little girl who came with us is missing. Excuse me, have you seen her?"

Hatoyama Kaisuke said, "I have seen it before."

Teacher Xiaolin asked excitedly: "Really?"

Hatoyama Kaisuke took off the large backpack behind him and said, "Is this the child you are talking about?"

Hatoyama Kaisuke opened his backpack and took out Ayumi from it.

And Hatoyama Kaisuke held a dagger against Ayumi's neck.

Conan and the other three's faces changed. Just as Conan and Amuro Toru were about to take action, they were threatened by Hatoyama Kaisuke.

"Stop, don't move. Throw all your cell phones here first, and then follow my instructions. If you dare to do anything wrong, I will kill this child!"

For Ayumi's safety, Conan and his three friends were forced to follow Hatoyama Kaisuke's orders.

Conan and his three companions came to a basement.

"Okay, you guys go down, bye."

Hatoyama Kaisuke closed the door of the basement.

Amuro Toru frowned and said "huh".

At this time, a beam of light came from behind Amuro Toru, and an excited voice: "Furuya...it's really you! Zero, you are here to save me, right? Great! I'm saved now!"

Amuro Toru said speechlessly: "I was also arrested, the situation has not changed, and..."

Toru Amuro glanced at Mr. Kobayashi.

Teacher Kobayashi asked in confusion, "Excuse me, who is Furuya referring to?"

Amuro Toru lied, "It's a pseudonym I used. Being a detective sometimes requires concealing one's identity. This person is my detective assistant."

Yuya Kazami's heart skipped a beat. He was so excited to see Toru Amuro just now that he didn't notice that there were other people.

Yuya Kazami introduced himself: "My name is Tobita Otoroku!"

"Hey, come and look! There's a body lying on this bed." Conan found a body on a bed and observed it closely: "Moreover, his appearance... is exactly the same as the person who locked us up here!"

Amuro Toru also looked at the body on the bed: "This person's face will look a little older, but it does look like him."

Teacher Kobayashi recognized the other person's identity: "He, he is Mr. Hatoyama Yoshisuke! This person is the rancher of Hatoyama Ranch who sent chickens to our Teitan Elementary School!"

Amuro Toru asked: "Have you met him before?"

Teacher Xiaolin shook his head and said, "No, we communicated over the phone. I saw his photo when I searched for ranch information online."

Amuro Toru looked back at the body on the bed: "So, the man who locked us up here just now was not lying. He is the ranch owner's brother."

Conan asked Amuro Toru: "Now, can you tell us the details, Amuro brother?"

Amuro Toru looked at Kazami Yuya and said, "Let Tobita tell you about this."

Feng Jianyuya nodded and began to narrate: "Okay, about 30 hours ago, I received news that a large amount of explosives were stolen from a construction site, and we suspected that someone was going to use explosives to commit a crime.

At this time, I found a worker with suspicious behavior, Hatoyama Kaisuke, so I followed him to the ranch, but I was careless and was knocked unconscious by him. When I woke up, I was already in the basement, and then I used the deceased's phone to contact Mr. Amuro. "

Toru Amuro said to Conan: "I just said that I came here to find my subordinates. I came here to rescue him, but I didn't expect that I would be caught now."

Teacher Kobayashi became inexplicably excited: "It turns out that detectives can also do this kind of work that the police conduct secret investigations!"

Conan looked at Teacher Kobayashi speechlessly.

Because they are both Japanese public security police!

Yuya Kazami said in a tricky tone: "Now, it is unclear why Hatoyama Kaisuke wanted to kill his own brother and steal a large amount of explosives."

Conan looked at the body and guessed seriously: "No, I think this person committed suicide."

"suicide?"

Conan's words "suicide" surprised Yuya Kazami, Mr. Kobayashi and Mitsuhiko.

Teacher Kobayashi asked, "Why do you feel that way?"

Conan pointed at the neck of the corpse and said, "Look here, there is only a mark of strangulation on this person's neck, and no marks left by a struggle. Normally, when someone strangles the neck, he will definitely struggle desperately and scratch his neck.

Of course, it is possible that his hands were tied, but there were no marks of ligature on his hands. "

Feng Jianyu also guessed: "Maybe someone gave him sleeping pills, and while he was asleep, they put a rope around his neck and pushed him down from a high place..."

Conan shook his head and said, "I think this is unlikely. The only place where someone could hang himself is next to the table. This person is not wearing shoes, so the pair of boots next to the table are most likely his.

Although I don't know who moved his body to the bed, if he took off his shoes when he was asleep, they should have been placed next to the bed.

So, the only possibility is that he wanted to hang himself, and then when he stepped on the chair, he took off his boots! "

Conan narrated his reasoning based on his observation of Yoshisuke Hatoyama's body.
