Chapter 167: Fire Falling on the Pasture (9)

Teacher Xiaolin's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Meteorite? Are those three people on the bus looking for meteorites?"

Conan nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes. There is a hole in the wall of the chicken farm, and there are traces of burial in front of the hole. Combining these clues, I infer that a meteorite broke through the wall and made a hole in the ground. Afterwards, someone was worried that the secret of the meteorite would be leaked, so they buried it."

"The evidence is the large number of burnt branches that Ayumi saw, as well as the long grooves on the ground." Conan continued to explain, "When a meteorite falls, it usually leaves a pit-like mark. But if the meteorite is very small and changes its angle for some reason when it falls, then it may break many branches when it falls into the forest, or form a long groove embedded in the ground."

Mitsuhiko suddenly realized: "So, what the big man on the bus saw..."

"It should be a video about a meteorite fall on the Internet." Conan took over the conversation. "Since the video recorded the sound of a person mistaking this for fireworks, it means that the person who uploaded the video did not realize that it was a video of a meteorite fall. But for meteorite hunters looking for meteorites, this is simply a treasure map. If the person who uploaded the video also mentioned the location where it was filmed, they can easily find the place where the meteorite fell."

Ayumi blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Are meteorites precious?"

Amuro nodded and explained with a smile: "Yes, Ayumi. The value of a meteorite depends on its type, size and rarity. Some meteorites can indeed be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions."

Mitsuhiko was shocked by the number, his eyes widened and he asked, "So expensive?"

Teacher Xiaolin also suddenly realized: "I see, that's why that person was so angry when Yuan Gu took that video with his mobile phone."

Amuro continued to analyze, "Yes. If that video is uploaded to the Internet again, it will undoubtedly attract many meteorite hunters. The ownership of meteorites basically follows the principle of 'whoever picks it up owns it.' Judging from their behavior on the bus, the big man Garner should be a professional meteorite hunter, the thinner Hituka may be a writer for a space-related magazine, and the older man with glasses, Minami-Wu, is a scholar who studies meteorites."

Tobita (Kazemi) interrupted at this time: "But, does that meteorite have anything to do with us being locked up here?"

Amuro thought for a moment, then said, "If we want to figure it out, we'll have to leave it to them."

Ai Haibara and the other two stood in front of the trapdoor in the basement, and the large padlock on the door was particularly conspicuous.

Ai Huihara said to the detective badge: "Edogawa, can you hear me? We entered the ranch office and found the door to the basement. But the door was locked with a large padlock, and it didn't look like it could be easily opened."

Conan's voice came from the other end of the badge: "Where's the phone? Is there a phone in the room? Maybe we can use it to contact the outside world."

Huiyuan Ai looked around and replied, "There are three telephones in the room next door, but none of them are plugged in. They are obviously abandoned."

Conan pondered on the other end of the detective badge: "I see, then, is there any diary or notebook nearby?"

Ai Huihara searched carefully in the dim office and replied: "No, it seems that all the information may be saved in the computer on the desk. In addition, there are a lot of information scattered on the floor, but it is evening now and it is a bit dark..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai said eagerly: "Then I'll turn on the light!"

Conan hurriedly stopped him: "No, you can't turn on the lights! The person who locked us up here may be monitoring this place from somewhere else. Once the lights are turned on, it will reveal that there is someone in the office."

As night fell, Hitsuka stood on the top of a mountain in the woods, gazing into the distance with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Mr. Hatoyama, why don't we stop looking for that person?" Hitsuka turned around and said to Hatoyama Kaisuke, "Let's just go to that place."

Nan Wu also agreed: "Yes, it's dark now."

Hatoyama Kaisuke shook his head and said with a firm look: "But that person may also want to go to the same place. Let's look for him again. What if he is in danger?"

Hitsukura hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Yeah, that's right. Then let's look for it again."
