Yuzuru quietly waited patiently with Kazuha and the others at the door for a while. Then he looked up at the time and felt it was about time.
Then, he stretched out his hand toward the small wooden house in front of him.
To everyone's utter astonishment, the seemingly sturdy golden lock atop the cabin suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, the golden lock opened automatically, and at the same time, the thick steel plates surrounding the cabin seemed to be drawn back by some mysterious force.
Am I seeing things?
"Amaterasu!"
"Did you see that? All those steel plates were put into that big lock!"
"How is this possible..."
Everyone gasped in amazement; this unbelievable scene left all the police officers present speechless with astonishment.
Inspector Ōtaki watched as Hanyu Nana was carrying out the operation to retrieve the haunted house, his expression becoming even more respectful. At the same time, he felt increasingly curious and awe about Hanyu Nana's identity and abilities.
Yuzuru Hanyu completely ignored the stares of the people gathering around him, and simply flicked his finger slightly.
The large lock, having completed its retrieval mission, flickered a few times. After receiving a command from its master, it began to transform, instantly reverting to the main form of the Horror House.
It traced an arc in the air and flew straight toward Yuzuru Hanyu.
Just as the haunted house was about to fly right up to him, Yuzuru took a magic capsule out of his pocket and pressed a button to shrink the haunted house and put it inside.
"Is this the escape room prop you were talking about?" Ai gently tugged at Yuzuru's sleeve, tilted her head up, and looked at the capsule in his hand with great curiosity.
Hearing Ai's words, Yuzuru patted her head affectionately, "Take it and play with it."
He casually tossed the all-purpose capsule to Ai.
After receiving the capsule, Ai happily began to play with it.
However, since they are not currently inside the room, there is no way to make it reappear.
Kazuha glanced back at the two people interacting, then refocused her attention on the door of the cabin.
Her little pink fists were already clenched tightly.
...
"It's open! It's open! It's finally open!"
Inside the cabin, Heiji Hattori, Conan, and Ichiro Numabuchi all wore expressions of excitement as they gazed at the slowly opening door, their eyes filled with tears of emotion.
"Get out of the way!" Numabuchi Ichiro said anxiously, forcefully pushing aside Hattori Heiji and Conan who were blocking the doorway, and rushed out without regard for anything else.
Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji immediately gave chase and shouted, "Numabuchi, don't even think about running away!"
The three of them had just pushed open the door and run out when they were suddenly blinded by the blinding beams of numerous flashlights coming towards them. They instinctively reached out to shield their eyes.
After recognizing the three people who came out, Inspector Ōtaki's expression turned serious. He picked up the handcuffs and strode over.
"Numabuchi, Ichiro Numabuchi, I am now arresting you on charges of murder!"
Upon hearing Inspector Ōtaki's words, Ichiro Numabuchi forced back his tears and opened his eyes with difficulty.
After carefully observing the scene and discovering that he was surrounded by police, Ichiro Numabuchi's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around without hesitation and rushed back towards the cabin.
"Don't run, Numabuchi, you can't escape!" Hattori Heiji quickly reached out to stop Numabuchi Ichiro, but failed.
He turned around and tried to rush inside.
"Heiji! You stop right there!" Just then, Kazuha's voice rang out.
"Kazuha? What are you doing here?" Hattori Heiji was taken aback when he heard Kazuha's voice. He continued running forward while glancing back in surprise.
"Wait a minute, Kazuha, let me catch that murderer first!"
Heiji Hattori didn't stop, but continued running towards the cabin.
Seeing Hattori Heiji rush into the cabin once again, Kazuha's face instantly turned gloomy, frighteningly dark.
Yuzuru smiled somewhat speechlessly, stepped forward, and said, "Ahem, Kazuha-kun, I'll go check on Hattori-kun in case he gets hurt."
"Thanks, I'll go too. He deserved to get hurt!" Kazuha said angrily.
Yuzuru didn't stop them, but simply followed slowly behind with Ran and Ai.
When the group entered the cabin, they saw that Hattori Heiji had already used all his strength to pin Numabuchi Ichiro down.
Heiji, are you alright?
Kazuha, who had come in, was originally prepared to teach Hattori Heiji a lesson, but seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but ask a worried question.
"I'm fine," Hattori Heiji said sternly as he pushed Numabuchi Ichiro out of the room, "Kazuha, didn't I tell you to wait outside?"
"What did you say?" Kazuha was angered by Hattori Heiji's attitude. "I was clearly concerned about you!"
"You're just making things difficult for me!" Hattori Heiji was also a little annoyed. Didn't he see that he was catching a murderer?
He's feeling a real sense of accomplishment right now!
"Am I causing trouble?"
Upon hearing this, He Ye was stunned with disbelief.
She had come in because she was worried about Hattori Heiji, but she didn't expect to get such a response.
"Who else could it be but you?" Hattori Heiji said impatiently, unconsciously loosening his grip on Numabuchi Ichiro's hand.
In that instant, Ichiro Numabuchi, who had been keeping his head down, seized the opportunity, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly broke free from Hattori Heiji and pulled a gleaming dagger from the pile of garbage at his feet.
"Get out of my way!" Numabuchi Ichiro's face was contorted with rage as he brandished his dagger and charged toward the door.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard, as they had no idea such a thing would happen.
Upon seeing this, Yu Shengnan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Very well, everything is going according to his plan.
Kazuha, who had just been hurt by Hattori Heiji's words, was standing not far in front of Numabuchi Ichiro.
When Kazuha saw Ichiro Numabuchi charging towards her with a dagger in hand and a fierce look on his face, she froze, standing there dumbfounded.
Normally, she was very confident in her Aikido skills, but at this moment, her proud technique seemed to have suddenly malfunctioned, and she couldn't use it at all.
Between life and death, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind Kazuha and tightly grasped the dagger that Numabuchi Ichiro was thrusting towards Kazuha's chest.
"Hiss...it hurts a bit!" Yu Shengnan gripped the sharp dagger, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality, he couldn't help but gasp inwardly.
