Chiba and Conan walked out of the toilet lightly, only to see a dusty corridor outside.

"This is probably where the silica dust comes from." Conan whispered.

"Hmm... Qian Yu replied and continued walking. The two followed the sound of the TV all the way to the direction of the person.

"This must be the room," said Conan as they reached a room, looking at the white window. "You open the door later, and I'll do it directly after opening the door."

"Okay." Qian Yu nodded and walked to the door.

Taking a deep breath, Chiba put his hand on the doorknob and was about to open the door, but was grabbed by Conan's wrist.

"Wait!" Although Conan only spoke with exhaled breath and did not vibrate his vocal cords, his hoarse expression spoke for itself. "Look at your left!"

“？？” Qian Yu thought there was someone on the left, and turned his head to find that there were only a large number of box-shaped bento boxes on the left. I was about to ask Conan what was going on, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The number of bento boxes is too much, isn't it???

The four kidnappings have been going on for a total of 10 days, or 20 to 40 boxes of bento boxes per person.

But the bento box here should be a cuboid of less than 5*5*4, that is, about 95 boxes, which means that there may be 2 to 5 people on the other side. (This is where 2 people spend many days)

"How many?" Chiba does lip shape.

"3," Conan gestured, then walked over to the bento box and clicked on three of them.

Pork bento, beef bento, tofu bento, these three boxes of bento are of different types, but the quantity is basically on the same order of magnitude. Qian Yu took a cursory glance, and there were only these three kinds of more than twenty bento boxes on the top layer.

I see, Chiba understood what Conan meant - in the case of eating and drinking without interference, a person's taste will remain relatively stable. That is, a person is unlikely to eat multiple bentos. Since the number of the three bento boxes is roughly the same, it means that the number of people should be multiples of 3. (Otherwise, the top 23 boxes of bento should have one bento with more than 10 boxes, instead of 887 like now)

"What should I do?" Thousand Feather Lips.

"Get out first." Conan lips.

"It should be them," Qian Yu asked with a frown after escaping from the small window. "But what to do? It's not easy for the police to attack this kind of terrain, and it would be bad if it turned into hostage-taking. ”

"Puppy9," Conan didn't answer directly, but said a word. "Still impressed, huh?"

"The signs of those bento boxes, this is the name of the bento shop?"

"Puppy9, barbecue, it's not like the name can't be said, right?" (Puppy9 is pronounced papicue, which is similar to barbecue, and barbecue means barbecue) Conan smiled and asked Conan to follow him.

"So you're going to wait for the rabbit?" Chiba also smiled.

"yes, if you can't get in, let them out."

。。。

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a man in a hoodie entered a rotisserie called "Puppy9".

"Boss, it's still the same." The man beckoned, signaling the shopkeeper's presence.

"Okay, one pork bento, one beef bento, and one tofu bento, for a total of 790 yen. The shopkeeper graciously handed the man a bag that had already been packed. ”

"Oh," the man smiled. "It's already packed."

"Although you may not order these for breakfast and lunch, as long as it is dinner every day, you must come here to order food, you must order all three, of course I have to be prepared." The shopkeeper smiled innocently.

"Oh, that's right," the man threw the boss a Natsume Soseki. "Then I'm leaving."

"Okay, you go slowly."

As the man left with the lunch box, in the store, two children eating rice balls glanced at each other and smiled.

。。。

Fifty minutes later, a room with a large number of bento boxes was placed outside the door.

"Police!" With a loud shout, several policemen slammed open the door and forced their way in. I saw two men lying crookedly on the ground, sleeping soundly, both of them with an empty box of bento boxes beside them.

When Chiba and Conan came to this room and saw the two men who were handcuffed, Chiba sneered. "Now, you've hit the road, right?"

When Chiba and Conan learn about the kidnappers' favorite bento, everything is much easier. Asked the Twilight Police Department for a permit, bought a box of sleeping pills from the nearby drugstore, mixed it into the base for cooking the bento, made three boxes of hypnotic bento, and then packed them and handed them to the kidnappers who came to buy them. As long as they eat these bentos, they will all lie down unconscious after dozens of minutes.

"No," Conan's face suddenly turned from smug to unusually ugly. "Look, there!"

As Conan pointed in the direction, Qian Yu suddenly saw a complete tofu bento!

Qianyu's face also turned extremely pale in an instant. "Go find Ayumi!" Chiba's voice had completely changed tone. (Leaving a tofu bento box means that there is a person who has not taken sleeping pills, then he may have spotted the police when they entered the factory, and it is entirely possible that he left here with Ayumi and retaliated.)

Looking around this room, except for the iron door that had just been breached, there was only one iron door that had been locked. If Ayumi is being held by three kidnappers, then it is most likely that she will be held here.

"Ayumi!" Qian Yu came to the locked iron door and pulled it with his hand on the tip of the Traceless Umbrella, pulling out a sharp cone from the tip of the umbrella, which was originally smooth in the distance. Thousand Feathers stepped back, then ran a few steps, stabbing the iron door with a sharp cone.

The spike left a dent in the iron gate, but it couldn't move any further - the spone was made of iron birch, much harder than the iron gate, but Chiba's own strength was not enough to pierce the iron gate.

"Cut!" Qian Yu scolded secretly, but heard Conan's voice. "Chiba, get out of the way."

Qian Yu immediately flashed a few steps to the side, only to see Conan press on his shoe a few times, and then tossed a thermos on the coffee table in the room into the air. When the thermos fell back to half of Conan's height, Conan's right foot volleyed and kicked the thermos out of the way. With a loud bang, the thermos smashed a large hole in the iron door.

"Ayumi, are you there?" Qian Yu glanced at the big hole and found that the iron door was made of pure metal, with a thickness of two or three centimeters.

"Thousand... A thousand feathers? The weak voice came to Chiha's ears, and it was Ayumi's voice!

Chiba reached in, fumbled for the lock, and then opened the door, only to see that there was a small room inside, and Ayumi was curled up in the corner, looking at Chiha.

"It's okay... The corners of Qianyu's mouth raised, but he instantly lost his strength and sat down on the ground. It instantly turned black in front of his eyes, and then a large area of Venus appeared. Although Qian Yu sat motionless on the ground by himself, he felt as if he was being swept into a whirlpool, and the world was spinning.

"Thousand feathers?" Conan was startled and hurriedly came to Qianyu's side. "Are you alright?"

"It's okay... Although Qianyu's vision and sense of direction have been temporarily lost, his mind is still very clear. "What do you care about me, you go and see Ayumi!"

When the blackness in front of Chiba's eyes disappeared and vision was restored, Conan had already picked up Ayumi.

"The third kidnapper may have run away on his own." Conan said when he saw Chiba standing up against the wall.

"Send Ayumi to the hospital first, we don't have any clues about the kidnapper for the time being, so leave it to the police." Qian Yu pinched the bridge of his nose and replied.
