"Shirley,

"I've finally found you.

"You can't escape.

"If you run away,

"I'm going to kill all the students in this elementary school!"

Stunned, when Xiao Wai looked at the words written on this piece of paper, she seemed to feel a ubiquitous shadow, enveloping herself, making Xiao Wai almost breathless in fear-

"Can't be wrong...... It's them! It's them! They've found this place!"

After clarifying the meaning of what was written on the letterhead, Xiao Ai's mind suddenly appeared with a group of figures wrapped in black, and then he also had a premonition of the final fate of himself and Gao Yuan and the others......

- "But why...... Why is this happening...... Obviously, I didn't feel their breath...... And, why deliberately leave this letter for yourself? What is their purpose?"

Although he forcibly calmed his thoughts, his body, which was trembling with fear, couldn't completely calm down-

"What's wrong!"

Noticing Xiao Ai's strange appearance, Conan, who was also changing shoes not far away, couldn't help but come up in surprise and asked, and at the same time, after seeing the letter paper in Xiao Ai's hand, Conan's face suddenly changed greatly-

"The black, black organization has followed the clues to find this elementary school!"

Somewhat incredulous, but also very flustered, Conan asked in shock:

"Somewhere, there's a flaw!"

"I don't know ......"

Clenching the letter in his hand, Xiao Wai hesitated for a long time, but in the end, his thoughts could not come up with useful results-

"SONOKO HOTEL, OR MANTENDO GAME PRESS CONFERENCE, OR MAYBE EVEN PROFESSOR MASAKI HIROTA'......"

Saying that, Xiao Ai lowered his head silently, and finally helplessly, as if he had completely accepted his fate, but said very calmly:

"Anyway, I'm hopeless...... If they can put this kind of letter in my shoe closet, it means that they have confirmed my identity...... If that's the case, maybe you still have a high ......."

"It's too early to give up!"

Regarding Xiao Ai's speech at this time, Conan immediately understood her plan, and then instinctively comforted.

Then, after looking around a little, I saw a security surveillance camera installed here-

"I'm going to investigate the monitor and see who put this letter in! You should contact Mr. Wise first and ask him to take you back, and then we will discuss what to do......

Conan suggested so, and then he saw that Xiao Ai was a little unbearable, so scared that he seemed to have a fever, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground-

"Grayplain!"

Seeing Xiao Ai's frightened look, Conan couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly.

"I—I'm fine......

In this regard, Xiao Wai tried her best to stabilize her body, and she couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat:

"Can't contact Takato...... They didn't do anything right away from me right now, they probably just wanted to find out who I had been in contact with after I fled the organization, so now, even you ......."

"Don't say anything stupid!"

Listening to Xiao Ai's analysis, Conan immediately retorted:

"Now that they know who you are, they should have been targeted by me and Mr. Wise a long time ago. But since they haven't done it yet, it means that things may not be as bad as you think! Anyway, everything will wait until I'm done checking the surveillance!"

Saying that, Conan asked Xiao Ai to take a good rest first-

And at this moment, Conan suddenly noticed that there were obvious half-amputated footprints directly below Xiao Ai's shoe cabinet, and the size of these footprints was ......

didn't have time to think about it, and after seeing that Xiao Ai's mood calmed down a little, Conan hurriedly came to the school's guardhouse and asked to see the surveillance video-

"Huh? The shoes in the shoe closet were stolen?"

In the guardhouse

The guard on duty couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Conan's intention, and subconsciously felt that this was probably a small contradiction and friction between children, and it might just be a joke between children, so the guard subconsciously wanted to refuse Conan's request.

Conan, on the other hand, further explains:

"It's a new pair of shoes, so I want to find out who got them."

"That...... I'll give you a little bit of it......

In this regard, looking at Conan's sincere expression, the guard finally compromised, and then called up the monitor screen that could take pictures of the shoe cabinet at the door-

Since the letter in Xiao Ai's shoe cabinet was placed on Xiao Ai's shoes, this letter should have been put in after Xiao Ai came to school to change into indoor shoes.

Therefore, if you want to investigate, it is to investigate the footage of this surveillance camera from morning to night.

However, when the guard called up the screen of the monitor, Conan suddenly noticed a very uncomfortable point-

Due to the shooting angle set by the surveillance camera lens, the surveillance screen cannot capture the shoe cabinet sandwiched between several shoe cabinets, Xiao Ai's cabinet, so it is impossible to see when Xiao Ai's shoe cabinet has been opened.

But fortunately, because it is a shoe cabinet for elementary school students, the height of the shoe cabinet cannot cover an adult at all, so as long as there is a suspicious adult who has abnormal movements near Xiao Ai's shoe cabinet, it should still be able to be found.

It's just that the entire surveillance screen was played from morning to night, but Conan didn't find any suspicious adults doing anything suspicious in the shoe closet, and even, there were no suspicious adults in the picture at all, and only the school teacher was photographed.

In this regard, in the face of such a result, Conan couldn't help but feel embarrassed-

"Although it cannot be ruled out that the gang has manipulated the surveillance, I can't prove it myself now......

Thinking like this, Conan didn't continue to stalemate in the guardroom, and after politely saying thank you to the guard, Conan immediately left the guardhouse and went back to find Xiao Ai-

"How?"

In the school's computer classroom, facing Conan who came over, Xiao Ai sat and hid under a computer desk and asked Conan.

"Because the monitor was hidden in the shadows of the shoe cabinet, it didn't capture any useful footage at all."

Shaking his head, Conan replied, and then looked at Xiao Ai's appearance, and couldn't help but be surprised:

"So, why are you hiding in such a place?"

"Nonsense! Why don't you keep me waiting at the door? What if Yoshida-san stops them and gets them involved? I'll have to find a hidden place to hide for a while."

Xiao Ai said helplessly, and then for the situation that Conan said, Xiao Ai couldn't help but realize that something was wrong-

"It's strange, the height of the shoe cabinet is only about one and a half meters, and if it were gin or vodka, they would be photographed anyway. Isn't it ......?"

Xiao Ai thought about it:

"They tampered with the surveillance?"

Conan couldn't be sure about this, but there was one thing that Conan felt very strange -

"Actually, Gray Plains, I have a discovery."

Conan thought about it, but still said it:

"I noticed dirt-stained toe marks on the pedals in front of your shoe cabinet in Gray Plains."

"Only the tip of the toe?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Hmm. Your shoe cabinet is at the top, and I wonder if it's possible that the prisoner tiptoed to reach your cabinet in order to put the letter in, thus leaving that mark. In addition, the monitor in the guardhouse did not find any footage of anyone letting the letter in......

Conan said, his expression gradually becoming serious, and he said his conjecture:

"I wondered, could it be that the prisoner looked like a kid like us!"

"What!"

Hearing this,

Xiao Ai was suddenly shocked......
