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

Kobayashi Sumiko finally saw him in person, her face full of excitement: "Are you Mr. Amuro?"

"um, yes."

"I am their homeroom teacher. My name is Kobayashi Sumiko. They often mention you in front of me."

Kobayashi Sumiko introduced the teacher next to her: "This is Mr. Amuro, he is a clerk at Polo Cafe and also a detective."

Wakasa Rumi greeted politely: "I'm the deputy class teacher, Wakasa Rumi, nice to meet you."

"Hello."

Kobayashi Sumiko chatted with Kudo Yuki enthusiastically: "Ms. Kudo, the incident in Gunma Prefecture last time..."

Kudo Yuki smiled and said, "It's okay. I just finished my work and saw the teacher being taken away by the police."

Conan changed the subject: "I say, Amuro brother and Xue sister, where are you going in this car?"

The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth slightly raised, and his tone was relaxed: "Our destination is actually the same as yours."

"So this is ah."

Amuro Toru moved closer to Conan, and Haibara Ai lowered the brim of her hat to prevent him from seeing her face. "Because there are some things that need to be resolved, I'll tell you the details when the time comes."

Kudo Yuki's gaze fell on Wakasa Rumi. She smiled as if she had noticed something, and then looked at Amuro Toru.

Kudo Yuki was cautious, sat back in her seat, and observed with the corner of her eyes.

Wakasa Rumi's originally gentle smile disappeared, replaced by cold eyes and expressionless face.

Kudo Yuki's suspicion grew stronger, and she wondered to herself: "Could Wakasa Rumi be the missing Asaka?" Just as she was thinking, they arrived at their destination.

The group got out of the car and came to the door. Amuro Toru rang the doorbell, but when no one answered, he rang it again, but there was no response. "It seems like no one is here."

The three little ones looked depressed.

"Why isn't the door locked?"

“I didn’t even see a cow.”

"Ah."

Kobayashi Sumiko squatted down and looked at the children gently: "It seems that the ranch owner wants to close the ranch and convert it into a golf course, so all the staff have left."

Wakasa Rumi asserted, "Is that why they gave the chicken to our school for free?"

Kobayashi Sumiko stood up and said, "He doesn't want to raise it anyway."

Conan took this opportunity to suggest: "Since the rancher is back, let's go check on the chickens first."

Ayumi wondered, "Do you know where the chicken is?"

Conan pointed to the road sign next to him and said, "I think we should be able to find it by following the arrows, right?"

The group arrived at the chicken farm and the three little ones were shocked.

"No, it's not."

“There’s not even a single chicken in the chicken farm.”

"Why?"

Amuro Toru guessed: "He didn't put the two chickens he sent to the school somewhere else? And then sold the rest of the chickens."

"Look outside." Mitsuhiko pointed at the hole. "Look, there's a really big hole here. Could those chickens have escaped through this hole?"

Kudo Yuki looked around and carefully observed the surrounding environment, "It's possible."

"Let's go check out some other places." Mitsuhiko then explored the nearby locations.

Conan looked down and saw a buried pit on the ground facing the hole. With a "bang", Mitsuhiko hit the door. He turned around and saw that it was the bathroom.

Genta and Kobayashi Sumiko came closer.

"Great, I've been holding back for a long time."

"Actually, so am I."

Kudo Yuki raised an eyebrow: "Then let's wait until everyone has used the bathroom before setting off to find the rancher."

Wakasa Rumi nodded: "Okay."

When Ayumi saw a live chicken, she wanted to catch it. She excitedly took small steps and followed the chicken away.

Conan walked to the corner and gestured to Kudo Yuki to come over, and Amuro Toru followed behind her.

The two came to Conan, and he whispered, "Isn't it about time you told me why you came here?"

Amuro Toru played dumb: "Really? Didn't I say I would tell you before?"

Conan glared at Amuro Toru in dissatisfaction, "Brother Amuro, stop joking. You have been so secretive all the way here, and now you are not going to tell me?"

Amuro Toru chuckled and patted Conan's head, "Don't worry, I'll tell you when the time comes."

Conan slapped Amuro Toru's hand away and frowned: "Humph, if you continue like this, I will have to investigate it myself."

Kudo Yuki couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, both of you stop messing around. Toru, stop teasing Conan."

Amuro Toru shrugged, "Okay, okay, actually, we came here because we received some strange clues about this ranch."

Conan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What clue? Tell me quickly."

Amuro Toru deliberately kept the secret and spoke slowly: "Oh, I'm thirsty. Let me drink some water before I tell you."

Conan stamped his feet in anger: "Brother Amuro, you're going too far!"

At this time, Kobayashi Sumiko shouted anxiously: "Yoshida classmate is missing."

Everyone ran to the door upon hearing this.

Wakasa Rumi looked worried, her eyes seemed anxious, but she was hiding her calmness: "I don't know where she went when we went to the bathroom."

"Then let's split up and look for them." Kobayashi Sumiko spoke faster, "I, Ms. Kudo, Mr. Amuro, and Edogawa will form a team."

"Then I'll team up with Kojima, Tsuburaya, and Haibara. We'll be a team of four."

After saying that, Wakasa Rumi and Kobayashi Sumiko led the Junior Detective Team out to find Ayumi, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety.

Amuro Toru found the square shogi on the ground. He squatted down and took it in his hand to examine it carefully, frowning: "This is a shogi piece. I think I have seen this square somewhere."

His eyes were deep and his fingers gently stroked the surface of the chess piece, trying to find more clues from this small chess piece.

Kudo Yuki came over, looked at the chess piece in Amuro Toru's hand, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "I have seen this shogi chess piece before."

When Yuan Tai saw that Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki hadn't caught up, he turned around and looked at them. His chubby face was full of confusion: "Amuro brother, Yuki sister, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

Huiyuan Ai stopped and looked at the two of them, then urged, "Xiaodao, why are you standing there? Let's go."

Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru's eyes met.

Amuro Toru temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and put the chess piece into his pocket, "Let's go, it's important to find Ayumi first."

Everyone continued to search for Ayumi in the pasture, the wind whistling in their ears and the weeds swaying under their feet.

Toru Amuro walked while paying attention to his surroundings.

Kudo Yuki's eyes were also full of worry, and she called Ayumi's name from time to time.

Yuan Tai ran out of breath, and kept muttering: "Ayumi, where are you?"

Mitsuhiko looked around, hoping to find some traces left by Ayumi.

At this time, Ayumi was chasing after the chicken. She stared at the fat chicken and moved her feet carefully, fearing that she would scare the alert guy. She bent her waist slightly, opened her hands, and was ready to pounce at any time.

The chicken seemed to sense the danger as well, cackling and dodging left and right.

Ayumi was not discouraged and followed the chicken's steps closely.

Finally, she found a good opportunity and pounced forward. She hugged the chicken tightly with both hands. The chicken was frightened and flapped its wings desperately, with feathers flying everywhere.

Ayumi held the chicken tightly and a victorious smile appeared on her face, but before she could be happy for too long, she found that she had been separated from everyone.

The surrounding environment became unfamiliar. Ayumi hugged the chicken tightly in her arms, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger.

"Strange, where is this? There are a lot of burnt branches here, and there are strange marks on the ground. In addition, the tree is wrapped in..." She curiously peeled it open and took a look: "What is this long and thin thing?"

As he finished speaking, a man walked up to Ayumi.

Ayumi was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure and unconsciously took a few steps back.

Kudo Yuki and the other three were anxiously searching nearby, and Conan yelled at the top of his lungs, "Ayumi."

Kobayashi Sumiko shouted in the other direction: "Yoshida-san, if you hear us, please answer us."

A man walked over from a distance, "Are you guys looking for someone?"

"Yes."

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

Xiaolin Chengzi was anxious to find someone, so she asked quickly, "A girl in the first grade of elementary school, have you seen her?"

"I have seen her."

"Really, really?"

Hatoyama Kaisuke put the backpack on the ground and slowly opened the bag, muttering: "Is this the child you are talking about?" He suddenly took out a dagger and put it against the chin of the unconscious Ayumi.

Conan shouted: "Ayumi."

Seeing this, Amuro Toru was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Kudo Yuki. Kudo Yuki shook her head at him and lowered her voice: "Even if you go now, he will stop you and make you cooperate with him obediently."

As expected, just as Conan was about to raise his foot, Hatoyama Kaisuke stopped him loudly: "Stop, don't move. All of you throw your phones here first, and then follow my instructions. If you dare to mess around, I will kill this child."

His voice was full of threats, his facial expression seemed a little distorted, and his hand holding the dagger tightened a little.

Kudo Yuki instructed telepathically: "Shushu, move my and Amuro Toru's phones to the system space."

"Ding, the phone has been saved in the system space."

Shushu's eyes rolled around and he smiled slyly. He operated on the virtual screen, turned on the system space detection function, and began to repair and upgrade it.

Kudo Xue only heard a system announcement: "The system space detection function has been turned on. Intelligent software and secret files have been detected in the mobile phone. The mobile phone function is starting to upgrade..."

Conan and Kobayashi Sumiko both took out their cell phones from their pockets, but for Ayumi's safety, they had to do as they were told and put their phones on the ground.

Kudo Yuki felt her bag, and Amuro Toru felt his pockets. They both searched everywhere but couldn't find their cell phones. Amuro Toru was still confused and muttered to himself: "Strange, why is my cell phone gone?"

"Now, all of you step back and stay away from me." Hatoyama Kaisuke continued, his eyes full of vigilance. "You walk in front, don't delay time intentionally." He waved the dagger in his hand, signaling everyone to speed up.

Afterwards, several people came to the White Dove Ranch house.

Hatoyama Kaisuke walked to a corner and pulled open a piece of floor, revealing the passage underneath. There were actually stairs underneath: "Okay, you guys go down. Goodbye."

After saying that, Kobayashi Sumiko walked in front holding the unconscious Ayumi, and several people watched from below as Hatoyama Kaisuke slammed the door shut.

Darkness instantly enveloped the few people. There was dead silence all around, except for the slightly rapid breathing of a few people.

Suddenly, someone came over from behind with a flashlight. The dim light flickered in the darkness. Several people looked in the direction of the light and saw a figure slowly approaching. This person was Yuya Kazami.

His hair was a little messy, and his face was a little dusty. Yuya Kazami was holding a flashlight, and when he saw Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru, he was so happy that he forgot what Kudo Yuki had told him before. "Ms. Kudo, Mr. Furuya."

Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru turned their heads away, but Kazami Yuya was too excited and showed no sign of restraining himself: "It's Mr. Furuya and Ms. Kudo, you are here to save me, right? That's great!"

Amuro Toru shielded his eyes from the dazzling light with one hand and whispered to stop him from calling out, "Kazemi."

Feng Jianyu also saw his savior and was completely immersed in joy: "I'm saved now."

Amuro Toru put his hands in his pockets and stared at him speechlessly, "We were also arrested, and the situation has not changed at all."

Conan looked at Yuya Kazami, his mouth twitching, and he pulled his sister's clothes, lowering his voice: "Sister, Mr. Kazami, are you too excited? In this situation, he actually called his real name, is he suffocated?"

Conan laughed in his heart: [This Mr. Kazami is really unreliable.]

Kobayashi Sumiko was puzzled: "Excuse me, who is Furuya referring to?"

Toru Amuro made up an excuse to try to cover up the past: "This is a pseudonym I use, because being a detective sometimes requires hiding one's identity. This is my detective assistant."

Amuro Toru gave Kazami Yuya a sharp look, and he suddenly woke up from his dream and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Tobita Otoroku."

Kudo Yuki smiled and moved closer to him and Amuro Toru. Her voice was gentle but with a hint of danger: "Mr. Tobita, have you forgotten something?"

Conan turned on the flashlight on his watch, and after seeing his sister's facial expression, he glanced at Yuya Kazami with pity, and sighed in his heart: "Mr. Kazami, according to your sister's temper, you may need to be "retrained" after you leave."

Yuya Kazami shuddered, and then he remembered what Yukichi Kudo had told him before. He felt a chill on his back, and thought: [I am definitely going to be severely punished.]

Kudo Yuki silently mouthed: "Be prepared when you go back." Her mouth movements were slow and clear, making Kazami Yuya's heart sink again.
