Didan Primary School, the playground in front of the main entrance.

Under the sunset, Conan and Rumi Wakasa were walking on the deserted playground.

"Conan-san, is that okay?"

"Um."

Conan nodded confidently, "As long as that group of people reads the code on the note, they will definitely show up at the abandoned warehouse at 0 o'clock tonight."

"When the time comes, all we need to do is let Officer Takagi, who is stationed here, catch all those people..."

In the afternoon, Conan contacted his "big disciple" - Police Officer Takagi - by phone and asked him to come over at midnight to pick up the performance.

However, in order to prevent Takagi's 1V3 from overturning, as the master, he will also come over at 0 o'clock tonight to suppress the battle.

"Oh, I see……"

"Then let me come over tonight and take a look! It feels like I'm in a dare test!"

Wakasa Rumi's face showed excitement, and the orange sunset light reflected on the lens of her right eye.

"Eh?"

Conan was stunned, turned to look at Rumi Wakasa, and asked, "Does Teacher Wakasa live near here?"

"Yeah! I rented an apartment nearby for the convenience of work~" Wakasa Rumi replied with a smile.

"That's it..."

The two of them walked to the school gate and seemed to be the last batch of teachers and students in the school to leave school.

The rule of Didan Elementary School is that the school will remain open for one hour before closing after students are out of school, to prevent stray elementary school students from coming back to get their things.

"Well, Conan-san, see you tomorrow~"

"Teacher Wakasa, goodbye~"

The two waved goodbye at the school gate, one walked to the left and the other to the right.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Conan saw his own shadow projected on the ground, alone.

Leng Buding came home from school alone, without the chirping sounds of Ayumi and the others, and he was a little uncomfortable...

Conan smiled slightly and walked to the first corner with his small schoolbag on his back.

But when he just popped up, a girl with brown hair was already standing at the corner waiting for him.

Conan was so frightened by the brown-haired girl that he trembled and froze in place.

"Haiyuan!"

"Why are you here?"

Haiyuan Ai stood straight at the corner, looking at Conan with half-moon eyes drooping, and said: "Let's see what you are busy with..."

"us?"

Conan saw that there were no three little ones around Haihara Ai, and quickly asked: "Are you talking about Ayumi and the others...?"

Haihara Ai: "They thought you might be hiding something from us, so they followed you. I thought you had to take this road home anyway, so I didn't follow you..."

"What? You didn't meet them?"

"Following me?" Conan's expression was stunned. How come he didn't realize that he was being followed?

The key is that he was being followed by the three little ones, but he didn't even notice it.

"No……"

Conan thought about it carefully in his mind, and suddenly realized that after he parted with the Junior Detective Team at the school gate after school, he took a casual detour and returned to Didan Elementary School.

After that, according to the plan made in the afternoon, I performed a play with Rumi Wakasa.

If the three little ones have been following me, they should have seen the scene between themselves and Rumi Wakasa.

The key is that in order to arouse the interest of the three robbers, I deliberately used the word "treasure".

As we all know, anything related to treasure is a three-little trap.

Those three people will definitely be fooled!

Conan's eyes were startled, and he quickly pressed the power button on the prisoner tracking glasses to switch to the mode of tracking the detective medal.

I saw that the light spots of the three medals had converged at the same location, which was the abandoned warehouse behind the school.

Oops!

The three of them were indeed arrested!

At this time, Haibara Ai, who saw the change in Conan's expression, also realized that the situation was not good and quickly asked: "Did something happen?"

"Well, I guess Ayumi and the others have been caught by robbers..."

"Robber?"

Haibara Ai did not investigate with Conan, so she knew nothing about the robbery 10 years ago.

"Ten years ago, near Tedan Elementary School, a capitalist was killed by a robbery gang and robbed of gold nuggets worth 200 million yen."

"Afterwards, the robbers hid the gold nuggets in the abandoned warehouse of Didan Elementary School and agreed to use secret codes to share the stolen money."

"But I didn't expect that the boss of the robbery gang accidentally fell down the steps when he was hiding the allocated stolen money in an abandoned warehouse... This is the truth about the skeleton found in the warehouse today."

"There are also cloth strips with strange words written on them, which are actually secret codes used by robbery gangs to convey messages."

Conan told Haibara Ai all the truth about the case he investigated throughout the afternoon.

After hearing this, Haiyuan Ai's face showed a look of shock.

Conan continued: "When the police came to investigate the skeleton, someone had already disclosed it on the Internet."

"Other members of the robbery gang saw the code above and have already found the school."

"I originally wanted to trick them into coming back at night, and then let Officer Takagi catch them all, but I didn't expect..."

"I guess Ayumi and the others have been arrested by that group of criminals."

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Haiyuan Ai understood the seriousness of the problem even though there was still a lack of details.

She quickly suggested, "Then call the police now! Let the police come and deal with it..."

"Um……"

"But the other party knows that Bumi and the others are elementary school students. If they don't go home, their parents will definitely call the police."

"In order to prevent them from being exposed here, they will definitely move them to other places soon."

Conan's expression was solemn, "Even if the police come, they can still take Ayumi and the others as hostages, and things will get bigger."

"What do you mean?" Although Haihara Ai asked, she had already guessed what Conan was thinking.

"I can only find a way to rescue them..."

…

Didan Primary School, abandoned warehouse.

In the dark basement, three little cats were tied up in a circle with ropes and were shivering.

Opposite the three boys, stood three adults with ferocious expressions.

"Hey, what do we do with these brats?"

"They already know about the money, we definitely can't let them go back!"

"Damn it! Everything was going smoothly, but something like this happened!"

The three of them were also very angry about what they were seen doing.

Originally, they were here to collect the stolen money, and they didn't want to cause any trouble, but unexpectedly, they were seen by three money-minded brats.

After thinking for a while, the square-chinned man among them said: "There is no other way. It seems that the only choice is to silence..."

"Kill them?" The fat-faced man was stunned, "Do you mean to kill all three brats?"

"Hmm." The man with the square chin analyzed: "These kiddos are all primary school students who go to school here. If parents find out that their children are missing, they will definitely call the police."

"The bad guys will definitely be searching the school and along the way tonight, which will affect our ability to get the money."

"Especially the boss is a cautious person. If he sees so many cops wandering around, he will definitely not show up."

"The only way now is to kill these three brats and throw their bodies somewhere else to attract the attention of the policemen."

The man with the square chin made a good analysis and was immediately recognized by both the fat-faced man and the thin-faced man.

"It seems like this is the only way..."

The fat-faced man turned his head and shone the light of the flashlight on the three little ones and murmured: "I can only blame you for your bad luck. Don't worry about money that doesn't belong to you in the next life..."

"Okay, keep an eye on them. I'll go up there and look for a bag that can hold the body."

After saying that, the square-chinned man left the basement through the steps.

The remaining fat-faced men and thin-faced men are here to guard.
