Chapter 199 The Mystery of the Ten Rabbits, Part 5

"It started twelve days ago, one a day, and the day before yesterday was the tenth," Ryoko Koide replied after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Conan fell into deep thought once again.

Kawasaki Machi sat on the sofa, staring blankly at a certain point.

Why didn't they call the police? Even if a murder didn't happen, this situation would still have some impact on Xiaozhi...

Even if the police don't believe you kids, Kudo, can't you just go to the toilet?

It would be much easier for the police to investigate given their authority...

Kawasaki Machi sighed deeply.

Glancing at the detective team, who still hadn't found anything and were preparing to go out and try again, Kawasaki Machi shrugged, got up, and followed behind them.

Ryoko Koide didn't go with them; instead, she stayed at home.

Around noon, Yoshiko Matsui returned from outside. She glanced at Ryoko, who was watching TV in the living room, and greeted her with a smile, "Ryoko, are you hungry? I'll make lunch now. Wait a moment, and if you're really hungry, grab some biscuits to tide you over."

"I'm not hungry yet, Aunt Matsui, take your time." Ryoko Koide swung her legs, her smile innocent.

Looking at her, Yoshiko Matsui's smile widened.

Perhaps feeling that the evidence posed little threat, the detective team found the search for clues relatively easy and not in a rush.

But Conan had a vague feeling that something was off.

Around 10 p.m., Conan suddenly received a phone call from Ayumi.

Her voice sounded panicked, "Conan! Look at today's newspaper! There's a report about ten rabbits!"

Conan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly ran out to grab today's newspaper. After quickly searching, he spotted a small section squeezed into a corner.

[Perhaps in the eighth year, there will be another serial murder case involving ten rabbits!]

Conan's pupils contracted instantly, and he immediately ran to Kogoro Mouri, who was drinking again, and shoved the newspaper in his face. Before the latter could even get angry, he heard Conan's hurried tone.

"Uncle! Call Inspector Megure quickly! Ten rabbits have appeared at my classmate's place! She's in danger!"

"What did you say!?"

Kogoro Mouri instantly woke up, snatched the newspaper from Conan's hand, and called Megure.

When the other side learned that it was a case involving ten rabbits, they immediately slammed their fists on the table and rushed to the scene.

Mori grabbed Conan and started to leave, yelling, "Quick, show me the way!"

Xiao Lan followed.

When they arrived at Koide's house, Mitsuhiko and the others were already there.

As soon as Ayumi saw Conan, she ran over to him, tears welling in her eyes. "Conan! We rang the doorbell, but no one answered! Could something have happened to Koide-kun?"

"No, the serial killer usually targets his victims at dawn when the sun is rising."

Inspector Megure's expression was very serious. Just in case, he waved for someone to go in and check, and continued, "The culprit may have taken the people away. We still have time to find their whereabouts!"

"But the question is, where could the murderer take the person?" Mori pondered, stroking his chin.

Conan, who was standing nearby, also entered a state of deep thought.

The toys and notes placed inside the rabbit plush toy were not related to the case of the ten rabbits, because they were related to the methods of murder in the other seven cases...
