Chapter 197 The Mystery of the Ten Rabbits (Part 3)

No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice came from downstairs, "Ryoko? Did you bring your friends over?"

"It's Aunt Matsui!" Ryoko Koide, who was sitting on the floor, stood up when she heard the voice, opened the door and called downstairs, "Aunt Matsui, I brought a friend home!"

After answering, she closed the door, and there was no more sound coming from downstairs.

As they were discussing, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Yoshiko Matsui's voice, "Ryoko, I brought you drinks and cake."

The Junior Detective Club stopped talking, and Ryoko Koide got up to open the door. "Thank you, Aunt Matsui."

Yoshiko Matsui walked in carrying a tray of juice and cake, placed it aside, reached out and patted Ryoko Koide's head before smiling and saying to them, "Have fun, everyone."

Ryoko Koide nodded obediently.

After she left, Machi Kawasaki handed the complete "Ten Rabbits" to Conan, then took a piece of cake and ate it while listening to their analysis.

"Do you have the sender's information?" Conan sat cross-legged on the floor, pinching his chin with his fingers as he looked at the several slips of paper and the lyrics of a nursery rhyme spread out on the ground. Then he suddenly turned to look at Ryoko Koide.

Ryoko Koide paused in her cake-eating, put it down, got up, and pulled out several boxes from under the bed, dragging them to him.

Conan rummaged through the box, but apart from the sender's name, there was no other information.

Even the sender's name was just a number ten.

"The number ten?? Why ten? Does it refer to the tenth rabbit?" The three members of the detective team immediately crowded around, with Ayumi asking in confusion as she ate her cake.

"The tenth rabbit... Considering the nursery rhyme and the expression on that rabbit plush toy, it does give off a very strange feeling." Putting the empty plate back on the tray, Kawasaki Machi took a sip of juice and said, resting his chin on his hand.

"So the sender is the tenth rabbit!?"

Kawasaki Machi: ...

He looked at Yuan Tai, who had uttered what appeared to be nonsense literature, with his half-moon eyes, speechless.

"Why is it the big rabbit that's sick, and the fifth rabbit that's dead..." Ai Haibara said softly, holding the sad-looking rabbit in her hand and looking down.

Instead of dwelling on this, let's think about what this person's purpose was in sending these rabbits to Xiaode.

Chuan Shengzhenzhi rolled his eyes lightly, then casually grabbed a rabbit and petted it. While petting it, he almost gouged out the rabbit's eyes.

Kawasaki Machi: ...

Would you believe me if I said it started it?

Before he could gently put the rabbit back, its eyeballs popped out.

Kawasaki Masashi: Forget it, I'm not going to pretend anymore.

"There's an 8 on this rabbit's eye!" He picked up the rabbit's eye, glanced at the back, and then exclaimed as if he had discovered something.

"Let me see!" Conan immediately reached out to him.

He handed him the eye, and Kawakita Machi glanced at the rabbit doll that had become a one-eyed creature. "This is the left eye of the tenth rabbit."

"I wonder if the other rabbits have eyes like this." Mitsuhiko took a rabbit from the side and examined its eyes carefully.

The number is obvious; you can see it without having to cut it out.

But apart from the tenth rabbit, the other rabbits had nothing in their eyes.

Conan stared at that eye, his mind racing with thoughts once again.

What does the 8 refer to? The eighth rabbit? Or eight rabbits?

What can the number 8 represent?
