Chapter 552 Preparation
"Would it be inappropriate if we act rashly?" Hiroki, who is a cautious person, asked with a frown.

"What are you afraid of?" Yuan Tai showed a confident smile on his face: "We have come all this way with the Junior Detective Team. What haven't we encountered?"

"That's right!" Ayumi agreed, "We've fought robbers and caught bad guys, and we've never been afraid!"

"Hiroki, Ai, don't hesitate, take action!" Even Mitsuhiko encouraged.

"Conan, what do you think?" Ayumi looked at Conan.

"In this situation, we must act and not sit and wait for death." Conan touched his chin and thought: "But I have some doubts."

"If those two criminals were vandals who destroyed the hotel, why did they take the dolls away when they arrested people?" Before Conan could say anything, Haibara Ai spoke.

She looked at Conan and said calmly, "Conan, is that what you think?"

"That's right." Conan nodded.

"What should we do?" Hiroki asked.

Even though he has a high IQ, he is still a child after all and has no experience in this situation.

At this time, you need to ask the experienced Conan for advice.

"I think there is a management office outside the forest. There should be a manager there." Conan replied: "Let's go find him."

"Isn't this too dangerous?" Hiroki said, "We are in the house now and have a place to hide for the time being. If we walk out of this house..."

"Then we will be directly exposed to the criminals' sight." Huiyuan Ai continued: "Doing so will give the criminals an opportunity to attack us, and our situation will be very dangerous."

"Besides, the fog outside is too thick. Once you go out, it's easy to get lost. Even if you have a map, it's useless. What's more, we don't have a map."

"Even so, we can't just sit here and wait." Conan had a different opinion: "If we stay here, won't we be trapped in a jar?"

"What do you think?" He turned his head and saw Yuantai and the others.

"Of course we have to take action!" After hearing Conan's words, Genta said subconsciously without thinking.

"I second that!" Ayumi raised her hand excitedly.

"I'll come along too." Mitsuhiko nodded.

"Although I want to stay here, it will be difficult if everyone wants to take action." Hiroki frowned.

"Now it seems that only Xiao Ai and I have chosen to stay, but if we do so, we will inevitably be separated from you, which is not good."

"If the six of us gather together, we still have some fighting power, but if we split into two teams, we will be easily defeated one by one." Hiroki analyzed calmly: "If this happens, we will definitely be the first to be attacked, because there are only two of us, and we are a weakling, while you have four people."

"It seems that staying here will make things worse, so I choose to act with you."

Hiroki expressed his thoughts, then looked at Huiyuan Ai and asked, "Xiao Ai, what do you think?"

"What else can I do?" Huiyuan Ai half-closed her eyes helplessly: "Are you going to leave me alone and be the first to suffer?"

Haibara Ai's meaning was very clear, and she had no choice but to follow everyone.

Although doing so was equivalent to going against Sawaha's intention, Haibara Ai could only say "sorry".

Although Haibara Ai prefers to stay, Conan and the others are likely to encounter danger once they go out.

Haibara Ai was worried about them, so she decided to act with them.

More people means more care. "Since everyone wants to take action, I'll get ready." Conan walked to the cabinet nearby and opened it.

He searched for a while but didn't find what he wanted, so he asked, "Is there no flashlight or candle in this room?"

"There should be." Ayumi blinked her big eyes and replied, "I checked before, the candles and flashlights are in the cabinet."

"But I can't find it." Conan closed the cabinet door and said solemnly: "It seems that these things have been taken away by others."

"What are you looking for these for?" Huiyuan Ai asked, "Doesn't your watch have a light?"

"My watch just ran out of battery." Conan shook his head: "How about yours?"

"We didn't bring it." Yuantai and others answered directly.

"Don't look at me, I left my watch at home." Hiroki gave an embarrassed smile.

At Sawawa's request, Dr. Agasa made a similar watch for all members of the Junior Detective League, all of which have a flashlight function and can be used for lighting.

Only Conan's watch is the most special. It can not only illuminate, but also shoot anesthetic needles.

If everyone in the Junior Detective Team has the habit of carrying a watch with them, it would be equivalent to carrying a miniature flashlight.

However, judging from the current situation, except for Conan, the other friends seem to not be wearing watches.

Conan felt a little headache and looked at Haibara Ai, the only one who did not express her opinion.

"Really? It looks like my watch is the only one that's still useful." Huiyuan Ai was a little helpless and threw her watch to Conan: "Then use mine."

"Thank you." Conan nodded slightly.

Huihara Ai didn't care. She turned around, looked around at everything in the room, and then her eyes fixed.

She suddenly discovered that there was another doll missing from the table.

"Xiaoyu's doll is missing too." Huihara Ai's face became very serious.

"No way, is there something wrong with Xiaoyu too?" Ayumi's face was full of worry.

"It shouldn't be possible." Huiyuan Ai was a little panicked, but she still forced herself to calm down and said, "In this world, Xiaoyu can't have an opponent. Nothing will happen to him."

"But his doll is missing." Yuantai said.

Huibara Ai was silent for a while.

"We have to trust Xiaoyu." Conan said, "How about this, you wait here for me, I'll go upstairs to check the situation and see if there are any clues."

"Wait a minute." Hiroki suddenly said, "We can't separate, let's go upstairs together."

"Yeah." Conan nodded, then led everyone up the stairs to the second floor.

Although the first floor of the house was brightly lit, the electrical wires on the second floor seemed to have been cut. Conan turned on the light switch, but it had no effect.

The second floor was still dark.

Conan could only turn on Haibara Ai's watch and use the light from the watch to illuminate the front.

Everyone pushed open the door and found that this was Mr. Kaibu's room.
