Chapter 2477 2489 [Grayfield Ai: Shake People]

When Haibara Ai secretly called for off-field assistance without telling the Junior Detective League.

Beside him, Conan thought what she said made sense, so he lowered his head and asked the detective badge: "Ayumi, can't you speak? - If you can, tap the badge once, if you can't, tap it twice."

His voice was picked up by the badge and then came out from another detective badge in the distance, echoing softly in the closet.

Yoshida Ayumi's home.

After failing to find the phone, Ayumi suddenly had an idea. She did not go back under the bed. Instead, she picked up the Kamen Rider alarm clock and hid in the closet - the criminal had already opened the closet door and looked here, so if nothing unexpected happened, he would not check again.

Closing the cabinet door, the enclosed space and the familiar scent of laundry detergent made the poor elementary school student relax a little.

Hearing Conan's voice, Ayumi Yoshida reached under the cabinet and fumbled around, found a hairpin, and knocked the badge with it.

The voice traveled along the badge and reached the classroom of Teitan Elementary School.

Hearing the clear "dong" sound from the badge, Kojima Genta and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko were startled: "It's really like what Ai said, Ayumi's voice is hoarse!"

"Why did you use the badge to contact us if you can't talk?" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly he felt that he understood. His face turned red, "Ayumi must be too lonely recuperating at home alone, so she wanted to hear me... hear our voices!"

"I see!" Kojima Genta thought it made perfect sense. "Then let's say something to encourage her!"

He was about to move over to talk, but Conan stopped him: "Wait, I always feel that something is a little strange."

Conan pointed at his watch: "It is clearly 10:35 now, but the report from Ayumi just now said it was 10:30, which is 5 minutes slow. Electronic watches generally don't have such a big error. In addition, today is not the 5th at all - either the watch is broken, or Ayumi deliberately adjusted the time to this, trying to convey some information to us."

Thinking of this, he asked along with the badge: "Ayumi, did you encounter any problem? - If yes, knock once, if not, knock twice."

“…”

"Du"

"Du"

As the four real and fake children watched with bated breath, two knocking sounds were heard from the badge.

"Uh..." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but he got this kind of feedback. He scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Conan in silence, "You're overthinking it. She must just be feeling a little bored."

"Really?" Conan was also a little surprised: the classmate who suddenly lost his voice, the badge that suddenly rang, the strange alarm clock sound coming from the detective badge, and the truth behind all this was... an elementary school girl took a leave of absence and was bored at home?

He felt as if he had stepped on empty air: Is it really that simple?

…

"Oh, the toys for primary school students are so advanced nowadays."

Yoshida Ayumi's home.

The "courier" stood in front of the wardrobe with the door wide open. He turned off the detective badge he had just seized, looked at the petrified little girl in the closet, and sneered: "Children are children after all. You don't think that I can't hear you guys talking so loudly next door - you overestimate the soundproofing effect of your closet."

Yoshida Ayumi's eyes were filled with tears and she curled up into a ball, not daring to move.

The criminal didn't get any feedback, snorted in boredom, and planned to get back to his work.

Now was not a good time to silence him. He tied up the hidden danger in the house and threw it into the corner, then relaxed and continued to search for things.

When a thrilling scene happened in the high-end apartment.

At Teitan Elementary School, a group of elementary school students are happily taking music lessons.

Teacher Kobayashi said to the children in a gentle voice: "There will be a music competition in school next month. Our class's program is a chorus. Let's practice this today."

"good!"

The students were discussing the school activities with great interest.

In the corner, two fake elementary school students were looking at their phones in an inappropriate manner.

Conan flipped through his music list aimlessly: "The song that Ayumi played just now sounded a little familiar to me."

"Me too." Huihara Ai looked through Jiang Xia's letter to see if he had replied, while recalling carefully, "I remember the general tone was mi mi re do re."

"..." Conan tried to recreate the song in his mind. After a moment, he rubbed his ears because of the noise he simulated.

At this moment, a burst of cheerful music sounded - Teacher Kobayashi did not expose the two truant children. She sat in front of the piano and played the song for the chorus.

The smooth music flashed past their ears, and the two fake children's brains lit up like electricity. Huihara Ai's eyes widened slightly. She didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence: "That's it! The song that Ayumi played in the badge is this "Snail."

"Snail?" Conan said, "I think I heard this word somewhere recently..."

Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he stood up and said to Teacher Kobayashi, "Teacher, call the police quickly, Ayumi might be in danger!"

Teacher Xiaolin was confused: "…Wha, what?"

However, before she could come to her senses, Conan turned around and rushed out of the classroom.

"Wait!" Teacher Xiaolin stood up and tried to stop them, but failed. She pressed her forehead silently: Nowadays, children have more and more reasons to skip classes...

"But the one who was speaking was Conan, and it was said that Ayumi was in danger. As for these two children..." Teacher Kobayashi had been working for many days and had some understanding of her students. She hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped playing the piano and took out her cell phone.

After Conan rushed out, the classroom was in chaos.

The other two kids from the Junior Detective Team were confused and could only run over to ask Huihara Ai: "What happened? Why is Ayumi in danger?"

Haibara Ai looked down at her phone and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Hearing the child's question, she calmly explained: "The song Ayumi played is "Snail". Do you remember what we talked about yesterday about snails?"

Kojima Genta scratched his head: "Snail... and eel rice?"

Huiyuan Ai: “…”

It was Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya who caught the point. He suddenly remembered: "The murdered female owner of the French restaurant!"

Huihara Ai nodded and said, "The name of that French restaurant is 'le ecs cargot'. Ecs cargot is the edible snail in French cuisine. Ayumi played this song to remind us of the conversation we had yesterday.

"Also, the wrong date was 10:30 on the 5th. Five can be read as 'go', ten is 'to', and thirty is read as half past ten, which is 'han'. Put them together and it becomes 'goutouhan' - robber."
