Chapter 168: Fire Falling on the Pasture (10)

In the ranch office, Huihara Ai frowned as she looked at the dim surroundings and said, "But it's so dark here, it's hard to investigate with just the light of a watch."

Conan thought quickly on the other end of the detective badge, and then said, "Then let's draw the curtains first!"

Yuan Tai asked in confusion: "Wouldn't it be darker if we draw the curtains?"

Conan explained: "Just listen to me and pull it up."

Teacher Wakasa followed Conan's instructions and closed the curtains. The office suddenly became darker, with only the faint light of the watch flickering.

Huiyuan Ai said: "Pull it up."

Conan continued to instruct: "And did anyone bring bottled water and milk?"

Wakasa-sensei responded, “I brought bottled water.”

Yuan Tai then said, "I brought milk."

Conan said with satisfaction: "Okay, listen to me. First add a little milk to the water and shake it well."

Yuan Tai asked as he operated: "Is this for drinking?"

Conan smiled and said, "Of course not. Then put the plastic bottle on the light of the watch..."

Following Conan's instructions, Yuan Tai placed the bottled water mixed with milk under the light of the watch. A miracle happened, the originally weak light became brighter under the refraction of milk and water.

Yuan Tai exclaimed: "How amazing..."

Wakasa-sensei also exclaimed, “It’s so bright!”

Ai Huihara looked at the brightly glowing plastic bottle in her hand and said with satisfaction, "This is bright enough. I can see clearly."

Feitian walked over, looked at the scene in front of him, and asked curiously: "What's going on? Why is it so bright all of a sudden?"

Amuro smiled and explained, "This is the Tyndall effect, a physical phenomenon caused by the properties of light. When light is emitted into molecular water with dispersed milk, scattering occurs, making the light appear bright."

After hearing this, Feitian suddenly realized: "I see, it seems that today's primary school education is really comprehensive, even teaching this kind of physical phenomenon."

After hearing this, Teacher Kobayashi, who was standing by, actually thought to herself, "I've never taught that before." But she didn't say it out loud. She just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Huiyuan Ai squatted down and carefully examined the information scattered on the floor. She frowned and said, "The information scattered on the floor is all about meteorites. It looks very messy. This highlighter was stepped on and the ink inside has spilled out."

Conan immediately asked, "Is that highlighter yellow?"

Huihara Ai nodded: "Yeah, yes."

Conan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Since it was stepped on and the ink flowed out, did it leave footprints?"

Haibara Ai looked around carefully and replied, "Yes, it looks like the footprints of hiking boots. They are printed on the information on the floor."

Conan's mind moved. He remembered that the three people were wearing hiking boots. He whispered, "I remember that the three people were wearing hiking boots. These footprints are likely left by them."

Huiyuan Ai also realized this. She continued to observe the floor and suddenly said, "Also, there are dents on the tiles of the floor. It looks like they were caused by a heavy object. What left these marks?"

Yuan Tai suddenly shouted loudly in the dim office: "Could it be that? The strange-looking stone under the table." He pointed to a peculiarly shaped stone, which obviously attracted everyone's attention.

Teacher Wakasa also came over when she heard the sound. She squatted down and carefully examined the stone. Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she said in surprise: "There is also a strange stone here." She pointed to another stone not far away. The shapes of the two stones were surprisingly similar.

Mr. Wakasa picked up the two stones and tried to put them together. As the two stones slowly moved closer, everyone was surprised to find that they were actually the same stone!

Yuan Tai shouted excitedly: "Two stones can be put together to form a whole piece!"

Ai Huihara looked at the scene in front of her and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this stone was thrown to the ground and shattered."

Mitsuhiko interrupted curiously, "Could that be a meteorite?"

Ayumi excitedly chimed in, "Wow, if it's a meteorite, that would be amazing!"

Teacher Xiaolin asked: "But why break it? Meteorites are usually very valuable."

Conan said to Huihara Ai: "Huihara, did you bring the magnet?"

Huihara Ai replied: "Yes, I brought a compass."

Conan nodded and said, "It's okay. The magnetic needle in the compass can also be used for testing. Just put the compass close to the stone and try it."

Following Conan's instructions, Huiyuan Ai brought the compass close to the broken stone. However, to her surprise, the compass did not react in any special way.

"There's no reaction at all!" Haibara Ai said in confusion.

Conan analyzed: "Then this stone is probably not a meteorite. Meteorites basically contain iron-nickel alloys, so they are magnetic. If a compass is close to a meteorite, the magnetic needle will deflect. But now there is no reaction, which means that this stone is not magnetic, or the magnetism is very weak."
