"Butcher and baker."
When Fujiwara Yuu said this name, Edogawa Conan's eyes lit up. Having also read the reports on the case, he immediately stood up, showing an expression of sudden enlightenment, and pointed to the blood-red numbers on the tree trunk beside him and said:
"So this number means this. Does that mean the murderer is Robert Hansen's copycat?"
"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Terabin Shoji scratched the back of his itchy head in confusion. He looked at Edogawa Conan in disbelief, always feeling that this kid was very extraordinary.
Fujiwara Yuu coughed twice, signaling someone to calm down a bit, and then he explained:
"Robert Hansen, nicknamed the Butcher Baker, murdered 24 women in America. His methods were extremely cruel, and he was a well-known murderer."
"Uh, what does this person have to do with this case? Is this murderer still alive?"
"He's indeed still alive, imprisoned at Springbrook Correctional Center in Alaska." Fujiwara Yu walked over to the tree trunk and pointed at the blood-stained number "461" on it. He continued, "Because this string of numbers represents the number of years Robert Hansen was sentenced to, the murderer in this case is most likely a copycat. Not only did he imitate Robert's murder method, he also deliberately left the number 461 at the scene, undoubtedly a tribute to his idol."
Idolizing a murderous demon is truly incomprehensible. But then again, if you can understand the mindset of such a demon, then you have a serious problem too.
Terabin Shoji's face became increasingly ugly. He didn't expect that the serial murder case had not been solved yet, and a more serious criminal appeared. The other party even had a hunting rifle in his hand. The danger level was extremely high.
He looked around warily, feeling as if he was being watched. He knew it was just a psychological effect, but being in the forest, and hearing the story of this murderous demon, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
"Officer Takashi, the other party has a hunting rifle. Should we seek help from the local police?" Terabin Shoji came to Yindou Peninsula on vacation. He did not have a gun on him, and he had no way to compete with the murderer who had a hunting rifle.
"Yes, but before the police get here, we have to protect the scene here first."
Edogawa Conan walked up and pulled Takashi Sosuke's trouser leg. After he squatted down, he whispered:
"Brother Yingsi, I think the murderer will definitely strike again tonight. He will take advantage of the time when the other murderer is still in Yindou Peninsula to play as many of his so-called hunting games as possible."
"Well, this copycat must have witnessed Michiwaki Masahiko's murder. Now Michiwaki has an open card. All we can do is find this hidden card. I'm not too worried about Sono because someone is helping to keep an eye on him."
The two exchanged glances and decided not to go back to the hotel to rest tonight. After waiting for the police to take the body away, they would investigate in the forest. They might be lucky enough to see the crime scene.
However, it is impossible to be lucky without luck.
Perhaps the murderer knew that the police were investigating the case, so he was not so brazen as to commit the crime in front of the police.
After staying in the forest all night, they didn't get any information about the murderer, but they did get a few mosquito bites. When they returned to the hotel to wash up, the dark circles under their eyes made Haibara Ai couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that the two people actually stayed in the forest all night.
She folded her arms across her chest and leaned against the door, laughing and jokingly saying:
"You two don't look very well. Do you need us to call an ambulance?"
"...We are just sleepy, not dying." Fujiwara Yu collapsed on the tatami. His empty stomach made him completely unable to argue with Miyano Shiho. He just wanted to catch up on his sleep and then wake up to eat hot food.

Edogawa Conan, equally exhausted, also lay on the ground, unwilling to move. Fortunately, it was daylight now, so the murderer wouldn't be playing any hunting games in broad daylight. He closed his eyes tiredly and said in a daze:
"Brother Yingsi, remember to have the local police patrol the forest."
"Well, I've already contacted Silin."
As soon as they finished speaking, they fell into a deep sleep.
Ai Haibara looked at the two helplessly. Hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, she used her small frame to pick up two blankets and casually toss them over the two before heading to the next room. She pushed the door open and noticed it was empty. Fearing something might have happened, she quickly pulled out her phone and made a call.
Miyano Akemi, who was buying breakfast at a convenience store next to the hotel, was puzzled after receiving the call. He answered the phone and asked:
"What's wrong Shiho?"
"Sister, where have you been? Are you okay?"
Miyano Akemi was about to answer, but she noticed that Shiho used the word "you". She realized that the other two girls in the room were gone, and hurriedly said:
"I'm at the convenience store. Aren't Ms. Mori and Ms. Suzuki in the room?"
"Aren't they with you?"
"No, wake up Ah You and ask him to make the call!"
Haibara Ai did not dare to delay. After hanging up the phone, she pushed Fujiwara Yuu awake who had just fallen asleep for less than a minute. She didn't know if the other party was too sleepy, but after pushing him twice, he didn't wake up, so she had to slap him.
Bang!
The pain in his cheek made Fujiwara Yu slowly open his eyes. He covered his cheek with a confused look on his face. Before he could ask what was going on, he heard Haibara Ai say in a hurried tone that the two were not in the room.
