Chapter 166: Fire Falling on the Pasture (8)

Conan is talking to Mitsuhiko in the basement: "Beams of light in the night sky? Is that big guy watching a movie like that?"

Mitsuhiko explained: "Yes, Conan. But there was someone talking in the video, saying 'Who is setting off fireworks in the mountains?' The voice was very low. So, I think it might be a science fiction comedy."

Conan frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Science fiction comedy?"

At this time, Tobita (Kazemi) asked Amuro Toru, "Mr. Furuya, what are you looking at?"

Amuro Toru was carefully examining the shogi wood chip he had picked up. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Amuro Toru slowly spoke: "This is a shogi piece. I think I've seen the scarred 'corner' on the lower left side somewhere before."

Tobita (Kazemi) asked curiously: "Speaking of shogi, isn't it the famous Haneda Hideyoshi? He has retained his title and maintained his six crowns. It's amazing!"

Toru Amuro's thoughts seemed to be brought back to the past. He recalled: "17 years ago, a talented chess player named Hiroshi Haneda died mysteriously in the United States. After the incident, only one item was missing from his personal belongings, and that was the 'horn' he carried with him as a talisman. In the public security training class, this case was shown to us as a difficult unsolved case. In the game in which he won his shogi teacher for the first time, the last chess piece he moved was the 'horn'. His parents said that their son could not have given that chess piece to anyone. So they speculated that the person holding that chess piece must be the criminal."

Amuro Toru's voice became subtle: "I saw the photo of that 'horn' at that time. Whether it is the scar or the shape of the characters, it is very similar to this one. Could it be that... the criminal who killed Haneda Hiroshi is in this ranch?"

Wakasa-sensei, Genta, and Haibara Ai rushed to the office door, only to find it closed. Haibara Ai tried several methods but could not open it.

"It doesn't work. The back door is locked." Huibara Ai shook her head helplessly.

Yuan Tai saw this and immediately became anxious like an ant on a hot pot: "Then we can't get in, right?"

Teacher Wakasa came forward and tried to check the door lock carefully, but she accidentally slipped and fell forward. Her arm hit the glass on the window, and with a "click", the glass shattered instantly.

"Ah!" Haibara Ai and Genta exclaimed at the same time and hurried forward to check on Teacher Wakasa's condition.

"Teacher, are you okay?" Huibara Ai asked with concern.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Yuantai added nervously.

Wakasa-sensei dusted himself off, stood up and checked himself, "No, I'm fine. But the glass is broken, so we should be able to get in from here."

Yuan Tai looked at the broken glass and his eyes lit up: "Yes!"

In the basement, Ayumi woke up slowly, stretched herself and yawned: "Ah! Why am I here?"

When Mitsuhiko saw her wake up, he immediately asked with concern: "Ayumi, are you okay?"

Teacher Kobayashi also said gently, "You're awake, Ayumi. How do you feel?"

Ayumi recalled the scene when she was kidnapped and couldn't help but screamed: "No, don't come over!"

Mitsuhiko immediately comforted her: "Ayumi, don't be afraid! The guy who took you away is no longer here."

Conan also came forward and asked seriously: "Ayumi, can you remember what happened when you were caught? Did you see anything strange?"

Ayumi calmed down and began to recall: "I chased the chicken and ran into the forest. Then I came to a strange place with many burnt branches on the ground."

"Burnt branches?" Conan frowned, thinking about the meaning of this clue.

Ayumi continued, "And there's a long ditch on the ground."

"Ditch?" Mitsuhiko asked puzzledly.

Conan stood in a corner of the basement and began to connect the scattered clues one by one, trying to uncover the truth of the incident.

"The hole on the wall of the chicken farm...the traces of landfill in front of the hole..." Conan's mind flashed with the hole in the wall discovered by Mitsuhiko and the traces of landfill in front of the hole.

"The video of the light beam in the night sky that made him furious when the children saw it..." Conan recalled the mysterious light beam and the fat traveler's angry reaction.

"There are also burnt branches and long grooves on the ground..." Ayumi's description made Conan realize that these seemingly unrelated clues are actually pointing in the same direction.

Conan suddenly understood and shouted, "I know why those three people on the bus came here!"
