"In other words, Ayumi had probably run into that burglar who liked breaking into homes. Her voice was hoarse, so she couldn't speak, and for some reason she couldn't get to her phone. That was why she could only use the Detective Badge to ask us for help."
As she said that, Haibara Ai remembered something and found it a little amusing. "Thankfully, Professor Agasa always makes us solve boring pun riddles. That was why Ayumi could think of a way to ask for help in time."
Across from her, Kojima Genta and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko were nowhere near as relaxed. The two actual children were thoroughly frightened. "That robber who killed someone broke into Ayumi's house?!"
"If that's the case, this is serious." Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko thought of even more possibilities, and his little face turned pale with fright. "When we asked Ayumi whether anything was wrong, she tapped the Badge twice to tell us she was fine. But if she played the alarm clock and music to ask us for help, then she definitely wouldn't suddenly change her mind—meaning the person who tapped the Badge the second time wasn't her at all. It was that criminal! He caught her!"
"What do we do? Ayumi's going to be killed!" In the midst of his panic, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko suddenly felt that something was off. He looked in shock at the utterly calm Haibara Ai, grief written across his face. "Ai, why aren't you worried at all? Don't you care about Ayumi's safety?"
Who would have thought that Ai looked so cute, but was such a cold-blooded person inside? It really was... even more captivating.
Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko: "..." No, this wasn't the time to be thinking about that!
He clenched his fists. "We need to hurry over and help!"
Haibara Ai looked speechlessly
