Chapter 282 Senma Kagayo: Finding Someone as a Hostage

"Um... I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

Ran Mouri originally intended to go directly, but Kogoro Mouri had specifically told her before leaving that she shouldn't leave alone, so she thought she should tell Kurosawa first.

I'm just going to the restroom, nothing bad should happen, right?

Kurosawa nodded and put away the game console.

"I will go with you."

Ran Mouri felt a little embarrassed upon seeing this.

"No need, Kurosawa-kun, you can continue playing the game."

"The restroom is nearby, I'll be fine by myself."

"If I really encounter any bad guys, I'll subdue them with karate!"

Ran Mouri demonstrated two karate stances.

"What if the other party isn't human?" Senma Kyoudai asked quietly from the side.

"Huh?" Ran Mouri was startled.

She suddenly remembered the eerie atmosphere and strange bloodstains in the villa.

A villa deep in the mountains, a tragic incident that happened long ago, a detective who was invited without reason, and the owner who avoids you... This seems to be a classic opening scene for horror movies.

No, it can't be...

Ran Mouri's mind conjured up images of ghostly figures with indistinct faces.

Just then, a loud clap of thunder came from outside.

"Ah!" Ran Mouri finally couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

Chima Kazuyo didn't expect Ran Mouri's reaction to be so strong.

"Sorry, sorry."

I'm so sorry I startled you.

"I was just joking."

"As compensation, how about I accompany you to the restroom?"

"Ms. Senma, you should stay here," Ikumi Gunta advised.

She glanced meaningfully at Senma Kazuyo and walked over to Ran Mouri.

"I also need to go to the restroom, let's go together."

"Okay," Ran Mouri replied.

Then, she turned to look at Senma Kazuyo and hesitated slightly.

"You were really joking just now, weren't you?"

Chima nods and apologizes again.

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of this kind of thing."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay," Ran Mouri waved her hands repeatedly.

"Fortunately, it was just a joke."

She breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still a little scared, but Ran Mouri still smiled at Satsuki Chima.

"You don't need to worry about it. It's just that I'm too timid."

"Then we'll leave first."

Ran Mouri and Ikumi Gunda turned and left.

Senma Kazuyo watched Ran Mouri's retreating figure and sighed softly.

"What a kind girl."

In comparison, she, who deliberately dragged innocent people into this, seemed utterly despicable.

But now that things have come to this, she can't stop.

Ran Mouri and Ikumi Gunda left, leaving only Ran and Kurosawa in the game room.

Chima Kazuyo's gaze fell on Kurosawa.

It started when the others were preparing to go to Da Shang Zhu Shan.

Senma Kazuyo knew that their plan was about to be exposed.

Not only that, but it is also very likely that her secret of poisoning the teacup handle behind Da Shang Zhu Shan's back will be exposed.

At that point, Da Shang Zhu Shan would definitely not help her hide it anymore.

That completely exposed her.

Having finally managed to gather these detectives together, Chima Kazuyo didn't want to give up on getting them to help her find the treasure.

Therefore, she decided to try a different approach to force them to comply.

Chima Kazuyo decides to take a hostage to force the detectives to continue their search for the treasure.

Conan then left, leaving only Ran Mouri and Kurosawa as suitable hostages.

Given the choice between a high school girl and a tall adult man, Chima Fuyuki would naturally choose the former.

Ran Mouri's previous behavior suggests that she is afraid of ghosts and the like.

Senma Kōdai then deliberately said those words just now.

The purpose was to scare Ran Mouri and then conveniently accompany her to the bathroom.

After that, all she had to do was find a way to drug Ran Mouri and hide her away, and she would have achieved her goal.

Although doing this was somewhat unfair to Ran Mouri, Senma Kazuyo could only apologize.

Ever since learning the truth about her father's death, the treasure in this villa has become her obsession.

Now that the possibility of finding the truth is before her, she will absolutely not give up.

However, the plan has encountered some unexpected problems.

Ran Mouri followed Ikumi Yamata, but Yamata's sudden act of scaring Ran Mouri seemed to arouse Ikumi Yamata's suspicion.

There isn't much time left for her.

She had to convince Kurosawa to cooperate with her before Ran and the others returned!

Senma Kazuyo thought to herself, her gaze sweeping over Kurosawa.

At this moment, Kurosawa curled up back on the sofa, his entire attention focused on the game in his hands, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

Chima Kazuyo hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached him from behind, keeping her feet down.

……

The Boss noticed Chima Kazuyo's actions.

He sat up slightly, wondering when Kurosawa would notice Chima Kazuyo's little tricks.

Judging from how quickly Kurosawa discovered the camera, his senses are very sharp.

He'll probably realize it soon.

Thinking this, Boos slowly relaxed his body and leaned back in the chair.

Time passes minute by minute.

Senma Furudai is getting closer and closer to Kurosawa.

Seven meters... five meters... three meters... one meter...

As the distance between Chima Kazuyo and Kurosawa grew shorter, Kurosawa, nestled on the sofa, still showed no reaction, leaving the Boss unsure of what to do.

Did Kurosawa intend to lull Chima Kazuyo into a false sense of security, allowing him to launch a counterattack at the last moment and subdue her in one blow?

Surely Kurosawa didn't notice Chima Yoshiyo's actions at all?

The boss decided to take another look.

……

Senma Kazuyo successfully arrived behind Kurosawa.

She slowly reached into her pocket and took out a damp handkerchief.

The handkerchief was soaked in a sleeping potion beforehand. Although the effect might be slightly less after some time, it is still effective nonetheless.

She held her breath and slowly raised her hand.

Even at this point, Kurosawa still did not react.

The boss couldn't help but frown.

Did Kurosawa really not notice Chima Kazuyo's actions?

But this is different from what he has shown before.

Is it because of the influence of games?

Are you so engrossed in games that you neglect your surroundings?

The boss doesn't know.

But for the sake of that face, the Boss decided to give him a little help.

He pressed a button.

next moment.

Inside the game room, a camera facing away from Kurosawa beeped.
