Second Deduction [Video]

[modernholmes]

[Three days in this place, and he'd made no progress in deducing the motive behind this situation.  There seemed to be no pattern in who had been taken and how long they had been kept here.  Not even the victims who had been kept here for long periods at all knew anything real about the situation.  The few supposed reasons he'd heard were ludicrous and obviously merely a guess on the part of his fellow captives.  Obviously, he couldn't make any more progress in this case until he had acquired more information.

And so....]

Hello!

[He smiles brightly at the camera.]

My name is Conan Edogawa!  I wanted to thank everyone who helped me when I woke up here.  Thank you!

But I'm still confused.  Did everyone here just wake up like that?  Someone told me that we're here because the scientists brought us here.  Is that really true?  And has anyone ever met them?  They must be very mean people if they won't let us go home.

Oh? What did he say?

The library burned down.

[Conan twitches slightly. Did that mean there weren't any mystery novels here?]

So they occasionally do helpful things. Could it be some attempt at building rapport with their captives? Perhaps they're trying to purposefully initiate a stockholm syndrome situation...

Its terrible. Are there any books left here? Besides the ones you just mentioned.

Ah... [Conan suddenly remembers he's talking to a kid who probably wouldn't know what to do with a lecture about criminal tactics with hostages.] They want you to do something for them, right? Isn't it easier for them if the people they bring here don't argue with them?
