The world of science is unscientific

Ayumi didn't dare to speak loudly anymore, secretly glancing at Suzuki Yusuke, vowing in her heart that she would never run away again next time.

Yusuke Suzuki wasn't surprised at all that Conan and the others were coming. They were the Detective Boys, after all. What was the big deal?

"Where are Ai and Mitsuhiko?"

Yusuke Suzuki led the way back, asking the question as he did so.

"They went in another direction, but we agreed to meet at the barbed wire fence in an hour."

Conan's attitude suddenly became much more upright. Usually, it was Kogoro Mouri who would hit him, and Yusuke Suzuki would at most give him a flick on the head. But now it seems that it was just that he hadn't reached the limit of Yusuke Suzuki's patience.

the other side.

Mitsuhiko suddenly stopped, looked down and asked, "Haibara-san, can I ask you a question?"

"Is there some secret between you and Conan?"

Ai Haibara turned around. "Why do you ask that?"

“Because you two often secretly have conversations that are a bit like those of adults when no one is looking,” Mitsuhiko said somewhat dejectedly. “It seems like you two are better at communicating, but it also seems like you don’t care about others at all.”

“You don’t need to worry,” Haibara sighed, “we’re not the kind of relationship you’re thinking of.”

"But......"

Mitsuhiko wanted to say more, but Ai Haibara interrupted him, "Alright, let's hurry up and find him. Maybe Yusuke has already found Kojima."

Just then, a rustling sound in the grass attracted the attention of the two.

They looked at a barbed wire fence with a small hole in it.

"The sound seems to be coming from over there," Mitsuhiko said hesitantly, pointing to the hole.

“Kojima-kun might already be on the other side,” Ai Haibara said, crawling through the hole. “It probably won’t be easy to tell whether that’s a matsutake mushroom forest or a hunting area.”

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quickly followed.

To their surprise, just as they arrived, a bear cub ran out of the bushes.

Ai Haibara happily walked over and squatted down in front of the bear. "It's still a little kid. Judging from this, it must have been born less than a year ago. It's so cute."

"But we still need to be careful, its mother should be nearby."

......

Yusuke Suzuki suddenly stopped.

Gunshots?

The voice was a little soft; he wasn't quite sure.

"What's wrong, Yusuke-nii?" Conan looked at Suzuki Yusuke, wondering why his friend had suddenly stopped walking. "Is Mrs. Motoi getting heavier?"

"No!"

"Shh..." Yusuke Suzuki gestured for everyone to be quiet.

Soon, a second gunshot rang out. He frowned. That direction was probably where Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko were.

“I heard gunshots. I’m going to check it out. You guys take Yuan Tai back.”

Yusuke Suzuki put Genta down and rushed straight towards that direction.

Honestly, not a single one of them was easy to deal with today.

They weren't far from where they started. Conan helped Genta to Professor Agasa. "Professor, I'll leave Genta in your care for now. I'm going to find Yusuke. There were gunshots over there, probably near Ai Haibara!"

"Wait a minute, let's go together! Let's make sure no one else gets lost."

After running for a while, Suzuki Yusuke lost his way and had no choice but to turn back, where he ran into Conan and his friends.

"Don't you guys have detective badges? Make contact. The gunshots have stopped, and I can't find my way around."

Conan's expression turned serious. "Mitsuhiko's armband isn't responding; the location shows he's in the hunting area."

"Let's go take a look first."

Yusuke Suzuki asked Conan to lead the way.

"right here."

Conan looked around and found Mitsuhiko's armband lying quietly on the ground.

"Where's Ai's armband?" Yusuke Suzuki asked.

"At Dr. Agasa's house, oh no!" Conan scratched his head in frustration.

Just then, a man carrying a hunting rifle emerged from the woods.

"What's going on here? Why did you bring a child here?" He questioned the two adults present, his eyes seemingly closed.

"Because two little kids are probably lost in here." Professor Agasa, panting heavily after finally managing to crawl through the hole, said, "We're on our way to find them."

Yusuke Suzuki followed behind Conan, hoping to find some clues.

Bullet marks?

He touched the bullet marks on a tree; they felt damp and smelled of gunpowder residue and the fresh scent of resin.

It seems that one of the bullets from the two gunshots just now hit this spot.

"Brother Yusuke, there's blood here!" Conan suddenly turned around and shouted.

Yusuke Suzuki went over to take a look and found that the blood had not yet congealed and did not have a strong fishy smell, so it was most likely not human blood.

Genta also noticed the huge bear footprints nearby.

Could it be that Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko were attacked by a bear, and a hunter intervened and injured the bear? But that doesn't make sense either. If the bear was injured, the blood would leave a trail, and there's no reason why it would only leave such a clump.

Kiyoya Yasaka stated that bears do not intentionally harm people.

Immediately afterwards, two more hunters came over.

Saiga Matsusaburo, with his thick mustache, refuted Yasaka Kiyoshi's point of view, "If it's Jubei, then maybe. That thing has long been sworn enemies with humans. The appearance of two children is just a feast for it before hibernation."

“It seems the rumors about the bears are true. It was worth the long journey,” Genrai Yuya laughed. “Don’t worry, little sister, I will definitely avenge your friend.”

Ayumi was terrified by his words and burst into tears. Professor Agasa angrily retorted, "Nonsense! There's no confirmation that the two children were really eaten by the bear!"

Yusuke Suzuki clenched his fist, walked up and punched Yuya Negi in the face, knocking out two teeth.

"Watch your mouth."

His tone was menacing, and his aura was overwhelming, so much so that Gen Laiyou didn't dare to say a word and slunk away.

Chapter 92 directly arrested the remaining two people.

Kiyoshi Yasaka and Matasaburo Saiga exchanged a shocked glance, their voices trembling as they said, "Let's help find those two children too..."

After calming down, Yusuke Suzuki realized that he had broken the classic three-choice scenario.

“We are quite familiar with the terrain of this mountain.” Saiga Matsuzuro nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Negi Yuya had completely disappeared.

Not far away, Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya were observing the group through binoculars. They had previously discovered a corpse by accident, and the murderer mistakenly thought they had witnessed the killing and shot them with a shotgun.

Mitsuhiko was about to ask Suzuki Yusuke and the others for help when Ai Haibara stopped him, saying, "Wait, that hunter was with them too."

"How could this happen?" Mitsuhiko said in despair.

“Since we witnessed him killing someone, he will naturally try to cut off our escape route.” Ai Haibara remained calm. “If we show ourselves, he will definitely kill us, and he will even claim that he shot a bear.”

"Then what should we do?"

Ai Haibara thought for a moment and said, "First, let's find a way to let the Doctor and the others know that we're following us, and then find an opportunity to warn them that there's a murderer among them."

“Oh right,” Mitsuhiko opened his backpack, “if we’re just trying to leave traces, this bag of potato chips will do.”

"Then let's get started."

A moment later, Ai Haibara exclaimed excitedly, "They found potato chips!"

Hey?

Why was Genta's walking posture so strange? Ai Haibara noticed Genta's movements through her binoculars and became curious. Just then, Suzuki Yusuke, who was in her line of sight, suddenly looked up and looked in their direction.

Found! ?

What a keen insight!

Meanwhile, Yusuke Suzuki was also analyzing who was peering at him. Could it be Tomoya Negi, whom he had punched away?

That reflection... it must be from a scope!

Yusuke Suzuki reacted quickly, grabbing Conan, who was closest to him, and hiding him behind a tree. "Everyone, find cover! There are people watching from that hill over there!"

Ai Haibara: "......"

Yusuke seems to have misunderstood something. It seems that being too perceptive is not a good thing. But why is he so skilled?

Could it be that Yusuke has received training in this area?

Ai Haibara couldn't help but think a lot. The more she thought about it, the more mysterious this neighbor who should have been a rich young master seemed. After getting to know him, she felt that she knew enough about him, but upon closer reflection, she realized that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Mitsuhiko was still a little confused by the reactions of the crowd below, while Ai Haibara quickly put away the binoculars.

Should we just tell Yusuke that the murderer is right next to him?

Ai Haibara thought for a moment and then rejected the plan. She believed that Yusuke Suzuki could subdue the murderer immediately, but she couldn't be sure that the murderer wouldn't shoot at her and Mitsuhiko right away.

The risk is too great; let's stick to the original plan.

Yusuke Suzuki waited for about two minutes before peering over to observe the spot that had been reflecting light.

It's gone, and the feeling of being spied on has completely disappeared.

"Yusuke, that person wouldn't be...?"

“Possibly,” Yusuke Suzuki nodded in response to Professor Agasa’s question. “Of course, it could also be Ai and Mitsuhiko. I remember they had binoculars with them, right?”

"The other party didn't fire directly before, and didn't fire after I spotted them, which means they didn't intend to kill. Anyway, everyone should be careful. Let's continue searching."

After hearing this, Conan leaned closer to him and said, "Brother Yusuke, I think we should call the police. They clearly marked the route they took, but we still can't find them. Don't you think that's strange?"

Add to that the unknown creature lurking in the shadows... they're probably not hiding from a bear's attack right now, they're hiding from people.
