After class, Conan came to the health room to check on Xiao Ai, but found that Xiao Ai, who was supposed to be lying on the bed in the health room to rest, was not in the health room at this time.
Seeing the bed where Xiao Ai had been lying and the cups that had not been arranged, Conan felt something bad and asked the teacher on duty in the health room.
In response, upon hearing Conan's eager inquiry, in the health room, the young female teacher with short curly hair wearing glasses looked at Conan in surprise, obviously shocked by Conan's reaction.
However, looking at Conan's expression, the female teacher quickly showed a gentle smile and replied lightly:
"Haihara-san went to take out the garbage instead of Genta-san who was in charge of taking out the garbage. She said that Genta-san must have been lazy and went to play football again."
As she said that, the female teacher looked at the time and seemed to feel a little strange:
"But speaking of it, I should be back soon..."
"What!"
After hearing this, Conan realized that something might be wrong, and hurriedly turned around and left the health room, heading towards the school's garbage collection place——
"Haiyuan! Haiyuan!"
Taking out the detective badge he carried with him, Conan tried to use the badge to call Xiao Ai.
But such behavior did not get a reply from Xiao Ai, but what he waited for was the response from several other members of the Young Detective Team——
"What's wrong Conan?"
"What happened to Haibara-san?"
In the badge, inquiries from Ayumi and Mitsuhiko came one after another.
——"Haiyuan is in danger!"
In response to this, seeing that Xiao Ai did not reply, Conan became anxious and did not continue calling with his detective badge, but went straight to the garbage collection place.
After looking at the special trash can in the health room, which was lying on the ground, Conan couldn't help but frown——
"The trash can is still here, which means that Hui Yuan has indeed been here...
"But Huiyuan is not here now..."
With a solemn expression, Conan searched around the garbage collection area and found no trace of Xiao Ai. Conan's mood became even heavier——
"Could it be...she is inside..."
Cold sweat broke out on his head, and Conan couldn't help but look at the garbage incinerator installed in the school not far from his location——
"Difficult, could it be..."
Feeling nervous, Conan ran to the garbage incinerator. Looking at the incinerator that had activated the incineration function and was operating with the door tightly closed, Conan couldn't believe it——
"This is an incinerator. It is an ultra-high temperature furnace that does not produce 'dioxin'. People in it will definitely die..."
Although this seems unlikely, if the prisoner still plans to kill Xiao Ai...
——"Conan! Did Haibara-san really disappear after leaving the health room?"
However, at this moment, when Conan was looking at the incinerator in front of him and was at a loss, Mitsuhiko's urgent voice came from behind him——
I saw that after receiving the news that I had conveyed with my detective badge, Mitsuhiko, Genta and Ayumi all ran over with nervous expressions on their faces.
"Well... I disappeared because I was taking out the trash instead of Genta..."
Although Conan was panicking about this, he still tried his best to remain calm in front of several people from the Young Detective Team——
"Ah...is it my fault that I asked Haibara-san to take out the trash?"
Hearing this, Yuantai couldn't help but blame herself.
"Recently, I heard that there have been many cases of criminals sneaking into schools..."
Mitsuhiko thought nervously about the current situation.
"Anyway, let's go look for it separately!"
Conan suggested this -
No matter what, this matter must be dealt with...
"kindness!"
Hearing this, Mitsuhiko and Genta both answered in the affirmative, then turned around and went to look elsewhere -
"To put the blame on it, it's all because of me."
Genta said seriously and trotted away with Mitsuhiko.
——"By the way Conan, I looked out the window during the fourth period and saw Haihara-san walking on campus."
At this time, Ayumi, who did not leave with Mitsuhiko and others, suddenly remembered this matter after thinking about it carefully, and then told Conan.
"Hey! It's true!"
Hearing this, Conan was stunned——
During the fourth period?
Haiyuan went to the health room after the second period, and it was after the fourth period that he went to the health room to find Haiyuan.
In other words, if Ayumi saw Haihara walking on campus during the fourth period, then from this point of view, Haihara should have gone to take out the garbage at that time——
"Well, yes."
Ayumi nodded, then lowered her head as if she was remorseful, and said aggrievedly:
"However, because I was spotted by the teacher when I was looking out the window, I stopped looking after the teacher told me."
"Did you see where Haiyuan went at that time?"
Regarding Ayumi's somewhat depressed mood, Conan naturally didn't say anything more and just asked about Ayumi's situation at that time.
"I remember...Haihara-san was walking towards that direction..."
After Ayumi roughly pointed in the direction, Conan hurriedly ran towards the direction that Ayumi pointed. When Ayumi saw this, she immediately followed him——
"Wait for me! Conan!"
Saying that, Ayumi quickly followed Conan -
"The classroom where the class is held... Ayumi's seat... then the direction Ayumi saw Haibara walking should be..."
At this time, Conan, who was constantly analyzing in his mind, after analyzing the situation mentioned by Bumi, unexpectedly discovered that the direction Xiao Ai was walking in at that time was very strange——
"Wait a minute! If you're going here, isn't that the way back to the health room? Where was Haiyuan going at that time?"
With such doubts, Conan trotted forward and arrived near the distribution room of the school cafeteria——
And here, Conan saw a food delivery truck parked outside the door of the distribution room.
"By the way! I remember that the dining car just arrived!"
At this time, Ayumi, who was following Conan, couldn't help but recall this after seeing the food delivery truck, so she immediately said.
--"dining car?"
Hearing this, Conan subconsciously turned his head to look at the dining car, and then couldn't help but notice the traces left on the ground after the car drove over——
"The car marks on the top are from today... huh? Today's marks are particularly deep!"
After squatting down and looking at the car marks, Conan was suddenly startled——
"That means there's something heavy in the car!"
Thinking of this, Conan hurriedly ran to the back of the truck, stretched out his hand, and nervously opened the door of the container behind the truck.
But when I looked inside, there was nothing.
"Haiyuan is not inside either..."
Regarding this situation, Conan felt silent and didn't know what to do——
"Huh? This car has been driven to the sand before?"
Coming out of the container behind the truck, Conan, who was still thinking solemnly, suddenly noticed that there was some dry sand on the tires of the truck, and there were sandy areas in the school——
"The breeding hut!"
Seeing this, Conan seemed to understand why Xiao Ai did not return to the health room first. The place she should have gone to at that time should be——
"Yes! Haibara should have gone to the breeding hut at that time, because the matter discovered by Mr. Akechi has not been concluded yet!"
Thinking like this, Conan quickly ran towards the direction of the breeding hut.
However, even when Conan came to the breeding hut, Conan still found no trace of Xiao Ai. On the other hand, Mitsuhiko and Genta, who also found no trace of Xiao Ai on the campus, were also following Conan and Ayumi at this time.
Same, came to the breeding hut——
"Conan, have you found Haihara-san here?"
Mitsuhiko asked with a very worried expression.
"No, I can't find Haiyuan-san anywhere."
Ayumi replied.
In this regard, Conan, who felt that the matter was very difficult, felt very anxious about the current situation——
"Something's wrong, what's going on? If the other party is Junerik who has a close friendship with Haiyuan and helped her do experiments, what exactly does he want to do to Haiyuan? Huiyuan can't be found anywhere in the school.
With Yuan's traces, could it be that the other party has successfully abducted Hui Yuan?
"No. The risk of kidnapping a female student in school in broad daylight is very high. After all, the school is equipped with surveillance cameras. Moreover, the school gate is closed during school hours. If you obviously take a female student out, you will definitely be discovered by the guards on duty.
.
"So the most likely possibility is that Haiyuan should still be in school. After all, Ayumi had seen Haiyuan acting in the school during the fourth period, and now the fourth period has just ended. During this period,
Time is very limited, and the prisoner probably doesn't have much time to take Huiyuan away.
"But if this is the case, where will the prisoner hide Haiyuan?"
Thinking like this, Conan felt that the situation was still confusing——
"Hey? Has the sand here been tidied up? It's really different, it's so clean!"
But at this moment, while Conan was thinking, Mitsuhiko noticed that the sand next to the breeding hut looked extremely clean, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Before, the whole sand was dirty because of the urination and excrement of wild cats, but now I can finally play on the sand!"
Yuantai couldn't help but feel happy about the changes in the sand.
--"Um?"
Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes were immediately attracted to the sand here——
"The sandy area that was just tidied?"
"When did this happen! Why are you thinking about such a thing!"
At this time, listening to the conversation between Mitsuhiko and Genta, Ayumi asked with a worried look, which made Mitsuhiko and Genta stunned, and then said embarrassedly:
"Sorry, let's go find Haiyuan-san now!"
Hearing Ayumi's questioning, both Mitsuhiko and Genta scratched their heads in embarrassment and continued to search in the school.
"No!"
But at this moment, Conan suddenly said to Ayumi and others with a calm expression:
"Mr. Mingzhi contacted me just now. He said that Gray Cause was not feeling well and had gone home to rest. He told us not to worry."
With that said, Conan took out his mobile phone and showed it, and Bumi and others couldn't help but believe Conan's words——
"Hey, that's it! It's really great!"
After hearing the news that Xiao Ai was safe and sound, Bumi and others couldn't help but said happily with relief.
"Yeah, it's great that nothing happened!"
Conan nodded, replied calmly, and then led everyone back to the classroom...
…
Under the silent night, in Didan Elementary School, the guards had completed their night patrol and returned to the guard room.
And at this moment, a figure who had been waiting for a long time finally chose to act at this moment.
On the sand in front of the breeding hut without surveillance cameras, a small figure was digging in the sand with a shovel——
Trying his best, the figure quickly shoveled the sand on the sand, preparing to shovel away the sand on the surface.
——"What a pity, Haiyuan is not there!"
However, just when the figure was halfway through the action, suddenly, a ray of light lit up behind the figure, shining towards the figure.
I saw Gao Yuan standing behind the figure at this time, turning on the flashlight function of his mobile phone, shining the light on the figure in front of him, and then said with a solemn expression after seeing the figure.
"kindness?"
Suddenly, being interrupted by such a sound, the figure couldn't help but stop what he was doing in shock, and turned around blankly to look -
"Are you...Junai?"
But at this moment, from the shadow beside Gao Yuan, Xiao Ai's figure slowly walked over. Looking at the thin and small figure illuminated by the flashlight, he looked like he was six or seven years old.
Xiao Ai showed a hint of indifference to the boy who was a child and asked lightly.
"You...how do you know?"
Looking at Xiao Ai who appeared at this time, the boy showed a surprised expression and felt puzzled——
"It obviously rained this morning, but the sand here is dry. So I guessed that someone must have re-paved the sand here."
At this time, Conan slowly walked out of the shadow on the other side of Gao Yuan and explained:
"The sandy field is being tidied up recently. You probably took advantage of that time to bury an iron box deep under the sandy field, intending to lock Huiyuan inside, right? So this morning, you found an opportunity for Xiao Ai to act alone.
, so we immediately launched an operation. After knocking out Huiyuan, we locked him in this box with an oxygen bottle prepared in advance. Then we spread it with sand and prepared to take Huiyuan away in the dead of night!"
Speaking of this, Conan paused and asked:
"However, since you have prepared the oxygen cylinder, it means that your purpose is not to kill Huiyuan, but what was your purpose in sending that letter?"
"You, who are you..."
The boy looked at the truth that Conan slowly told and asked in disbelief.
"Let's leave this issue aside for now..."
In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but interrupt:
"What we are wondering now is, how many people did the organization dispatch this time?"
Although it is basically certain that what happened this time was the fault of the person in front of me, for the sake of safety, I still hope to hear the person personally admit it.
"How could there be anyone else!"
But when he heard this, the boy in front of him shouted hysterically:
"Because I escaped from the organization!"
"Why?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ai looked a little solemn and asked.
"of course……"
Throwing the shovel aside in his hand, the boy slowly took a step closer to Xiao Ai, and then, obviously very excited, he said to Xiao Ai:
