#Trapped at Hatoyama Farm

[tsuri-chan]

Episode 1053-1054: The Spark That Fell on the Ranch

Based on volume 99, files 1051-1054

Plot in five keywords:

The Detective Boys are on a trip to a chicken farm with Kobayashi and Rumi... and Amuro (+ three other men)

The chickens aren’t in their stable, but the Detective Boys spot a huge hole in it and Mr Hatoyama, the owner of the farm, is also missing

When Ayumi finds one of the chickens, she finds herself in a forest with a lot of dynamite before she gets kidnapped by Mr Hatoyama

All of them (except Rumi, Ai and Genta) get taken hostage in the cellar where Kazami was already trapped as well

It turns out that a meteorite impact of the past is the key to solve the case

Important plot development:

We get to know that Kobayashi is afraid of birds

When thinking of crows, Rumi thinks of dark, sly and farouche people

Rumi and Amuro meet each other for the first time

Amuro finds a shogi piece

Rumi sees how the Detective Boys communicate with their detective batches

Rumi realizes that she lost her shogi piece and Genta tells her that Amuro picked it up

Amuro tells Kazami that he has seen the shogi piece before. When Kazami mentions Shukichi, Amuro remembers Koji Haneda’s death and that a shogi piece was missing at the crime scene (his good luck charm). Amuro deducts that the shogi piece must have been taken by Koji’s murderer and that this one is just like the one that Koji owned, So, he thinks that Rumi could be Koji’s murderer

Amuro thinks that he has met Ai before

Rumi doesn’t do anything against the culprit who is about to kill the man who’s responsible for his brother’s death

Rumi doesn’t let Amuro leave the cellar. Then, she fights with him to get her shogi piece back and knocks him out. Amuro can’t see who’s fighting with him

Rating:

9/10 chicken

It’s a very interesting cases, a big case with a lot of plot relevant parts. This is a must watch, not only because it’s a great case. Very watchable with lots of tension. The case and the plot relevant parts are both amazing.

"If I had a nickel for every time Wakasa beat up people at a trapdoor, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?"

I feel like if an authority figure listened to even one of the detective boys’ conversations they’d know what’s up
