Chapter 696 Kidnapped Ran [Adding more for Patron Happy Sword]
"There are traces on the wall where fabric has wiped it. Judging by the height, it's about the same as Ran's back and shoulders," Chi Feichei said, not stepping forward. He took out a flashlight and placed it on the ground. "There's a strand of Black Hair in the Wall Corner, and…"
Without him saying it, the others also saw it.
Because this place was sheltered from the wind, in a shady spot facing away from the Sun, and rarely visited, the ground was covered with a thin layer of Dust. When the flashlight was placed on the flat ground and shone outwards, a human trace could be vaguely seen on the ground.
Chi Feichei stopped Mori Kogoro because he was worried that Mori Kogoro would rush over and destroy the traces on the ground.
"It looks like a long-haired female, and her height is about the same as Sister Ran," Haibara Ai looked at the backpack in front of the human shape. "That should be her backpack, which also fell to the ground. It looks like after she ran here, she was facing the Wall, but was caught up, knocked to the ground… Judging by the traces here, there was no violent resistance. It should be someone who sneak attacked her from behind."
"Correct, there are people in front, and behind… behind too," Conan didn't step forward, frowning as he stared at the traces on the ground. However, because the layer of Dust was really thin, he couldn't see the footprints clearly, or even how many people there were. Moreover, due to the mess, he couldn't judge where Mouri Ran was moved to afterwards, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Damn it!"
"I can't tell at all where those people took Sister Ran…" Ayumi also looked at the slight traces on the ground, trying hard to find some other Clue.
Mitsuhiko looked forward worriedly, "And further ahead, there should be many people passing by on weekdays, and there are also traces of cleaning. It's impossible to find people based on the subtle traces left on the Dust."
Chi Feichei looked at Mori Kogoro, "Report to Police first."
"I know!" Mori Kogoro calmed down a bit, nodded with a serious face, and took out his Mobile Phone.
As Mouri Ran's Father, it was more appropriate for him to Report to Police.
While Mori Kogoro was making an Emergency Call, Chi Feichei felt his Mobile Phone vibrate. He took it out, glanced at it, and immediately answered and turned on the Speakerphone.
At the same time, he also took Mori Kogoro's Phone Call.
"Hello, someone has been kidnapped here, please remain Silence and Record."
The Police on the other end: "???"
What's the Situation?
In the next second, Mouri Ran's voice had already come from Chi Feichei's Mobile Phone, "Fei, Brother Hissashi?"
"Ran," Mori Kogoro asked excitedly, "Where are you now? Answer me quickly!"
Mouri Ran's voice was a little weak, "I seem to have been kidnapped…"
"Teacher, if you can't calm down, please go aside and calm down," Chi Feichei reminded, and asked, "Ran, you can Call, which means the Kidnapper is not Beside you, right? Try to describe your current Situation and the Environment you are in."
Mori Kogoro looked at Chi Feichei's calm face, speechless. He almost forgot that this apprentice of his was an extremely calm pervert, and now he really needed to calm down a bit.
"I'm fine, I was just knocked unconscious from behind before, and my head is still a little dizzy. Now my hands and feet are tied up, but I can stand up," Mouri Ran described intermittently, "It's a bit dim here, and I can't see a single Figure. It seems to be a Changing Room. I saw several rows of Lockers for storing Clothes…"
"Tell me about the Dust situation on the ground, whether the Lockers are new or old, and whether the Lockers have rust," Chi Feichei added.
"There is a thick layer of Dust on the ground. The Lockers also look very old, but there are no traces of rust," Mouri Ran said.
Conan had already taken out his Detective Manual and was seriously lowering his head to Record the Clue.
The other members of the Junior Detective League were also the same.
"Are there any Windows? Can you see Outside?" Chi Feichei said, "If you can see, tell me what's Outside, and try to describe what you see."
"There are Windows, please wait a moment…"
Crackling and rustling sounds came from the other end. Considering that Mouri Ran's hands were tied up, Chi Feichei guessed that Mouri Ran should have used her mouth to bite the Mobile Phone and move it to the Window Side.
"There are obstructions on the Window?"
Otherwise, Mouri Ran only needs to look up or stand up to look, or walk over to look, and there is no need to get up while biting the Mobile Phone.
In addition, Mouri Ran said that the Light was dim, which should mean that there were obstructions on the Window.
"Uh, uh-huh…"
Mouri Ran was indeed biting the Mobile Phone, and responded vaguely. After a while, she continued, "The Window has Venetian Blind, and it has been lowered. Outside… a lot of Sunflower are blooming, a large area. At the End of this Sunflower field, there is a seemingly abandoned Building with a Signboard on it…"
"What's on the Signboard?" Chi Feichei asked.
"This… Hiruko Town," Mouri Ran lowered her voice and said, "Hiruko is the Hiruko of Leech, and ko is Child."
Chi Feichei, "You can see very far? Are you on the Second Floor or above?"
Mouri Ran, "It should be on the Second Floor."
Chi Feichei, "Are the Sunflower leaning to one side?"
Mouri Ran, "Not very obvious, but it seems that they are all leaning to the right towards my Direction."
Chi Feichei, "The people who knocked you unconscious and kidnapped you are the two Men at the Next Door Table?"
"Yes," Mouri Ran said quickly, "They are also the ones who sent a Text Message to Sonoko yesterday saying that they picked up that Mobile Phone… By the Way! Brother Hissashi, listen to me, I just heard them say that they are going to kill someone today…"
"Click! Beep… Beep…"
The Phone Call was suddenly hung up.
"Hu… Hung up!" Mori Kogoro had just shown a panicked expression when Chi Feichei glanced at him calmly. He felt a chill in his Heart, and his Brain suddenly calmed down a lot. Seeing that the Mobile Phone he had used to Call the Police was still connected, he quickly explained the Situation to the Police, "Hello, are you still listening? Yes… the kidnapped person is my Daughter…"
Chi Feichei saw that there was no need to remind Mori Kogoro to do Serious Business again. He redialed the Phone Call and found that the prompt on the other end was that it was Offline. "It was probably discovered, and the Mobile Phone was smashed or broken by the Kidnapper."
Conan's Face turned pale, "..."
"Ai, Ayumi, go to the Hotel and get the Computer over, and check the Webpage Information about 'Hiruko Town' online," Chi Feichei took out Cash and handed it to Mitsuhiko, "Mitsuhiko, Genta, go buy a Map, buy a few more copies, and bring all the Kumamoto Maps you can buy, whether it's the entire City Area, the surrounding Area, or detailed area Maps. Act together, and no one is allowed to be alone."
"Yes!" Mitsuhiko responded seriously, "Please rest assured and leave it to us!"
Haibara Ai looked at Ayumi, "Then we'll go to the Hotel first."
Chi Feichei looked at Conan, "Conan, use the Detective Badge to keep in touch with everyone."
Conan couldn't help but say, "Sister Ran was kidnapped, probably because of the owner of that Mobile Phone. I think the other party is Unlikely to Take Action against the rest of us…"
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Chi Feichei said.
Unlikely, but Possible.
Who asked him not to remember this Plot? Then he had to be more cautious.
Conan was speechless, nodded, and said that he would do so.
"Brother Hichiji, what about me?" Suzuki Sonoko saw that everyone had something to do, and only she was left. She was anxious and sad, and wiped away her Tears, "It's all my fault, I had to pick up that Mobile Phone, read other people's Emails, and drag Ran to Come Over, which caused Ran to be kidnapped…"
"Borrow Money from your Old Dad," Chi Feichei said, "Prepare the Ransom. Although it may Not Necessarily be used, if we prepare in Advance, when the Kidnapper proposes to ask for Ransom, we can save the Time to Raise Money."
This Matter was indeed caused by Suzuki Sonoko, so it was right for her good Friend to prepare some Ransom.
Suzuki Sonoko had no Money, but Suzuki Sonoko's Old Dad was rich.
"Okay!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately took out her Mobile Phone and walked Aside to Call her Old Dad.
Mori Kogoro explained the Situation to the Police, worried that the other party would think that the disappearance Time was too short and think they were playing a Prank, so he also made a Phone Call to Inspector Megure, asking Inspector Megure to Help Say a word to the Kumamoto City Police.
More than twenty minutes later, a Group of People arrived at the Kumamoto City Police Station.
The Police Specially vacated a Lounge for a Group of People to sit down and Rest first.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were carefully looking for the place name 'Hiruko Town' in a pile of Maps.
Haibara Ai sat Aside and checked Data on the Computer.
Chi Feichei also looked at a Map, took out a Pen and drew a circle on the Map, "Conan, go find the Landline Phone registration book for this Area. Ayumi, Help me get the detailed Map of this Area."
From Mouri Ran's disappearance to making a Phone Call, it was about 40 minutes.
It was impossible for the other party to leave holding an unconscious High School Student, which would be too eye-catching. They would definitely use a Car as a means of transportation.
Taking that Coffee Shop as the center Point, and calculating the fastest driving Speed, the Location where Mouri Ran was located could not be out of this range anyway.
Conan glanced at it and understood what Chi Feichei was calculating. He jumped off the Chair, "I Understand! There is a Phone Book in the Public Phone Booth Outside the Police Station. I'll go get it now."
Suzuki Sonoko found that her Mobile Phone was ringing, and also answered the Phone Call, "Hello, Father… Yes, Cash… Okay…"
"Brother Chi, the Map you want!" Ayumi flipped out the detailed Map of that Area and handed it to Chi Feichei.
Two Police Officers entered the Door and saw the scene in the Lounge where people were making Phone Calls, flipping through Maps, and using Computers. It was a lively scene. The people inside could not see the slightest unease and panic of Friends or Family being kidnapped. They couldn't help but suspect that they had entered the wrong Door.
Of course, it was impossible to enter the wrong Door.
The Police Officer who was wearing a brown Suit like Inspector Megure coughed lightly, and found that only Mori Kogoro looked over. The others just raised their heads and glanced at him, and then continued to busy themselves. What was even more excessive was the Young Man in Black Clothes sitting at the End of the long Table, who didn't even give him a Glance.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, I am Police Inspector Tamana from the Kumamoto Prefectural Police Department," Police Inspector Tamana considered that a Kidnapping Incident had already occurred, and did not think about those strange people. He found that he seemed to have done a Self-introduction to the air, and still only Mori Kogoro was looking at him. He introduced the person Beside him speechlessly, "This is Patrol Sergeant Kato."
"Hello everyone!" Patrol Sergeant Kato bowed to everyone.
Chi Feichei was still drawing circles and crosses on the detailed Map, without raising his head.
Haibara Ai stared at the Computer, the three Children stared at the Map, and Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly said 'I know', and looked at the two Police Officers after hanging up the Phone Call.
Police Inspector Tamana was even more speechless. Okay, at least there was one more person paying attention to him.
"Sorry for the Troublesome," Mori Kogoro felt that his Task was only 'dealing with the Police', and he was also seriously responsible for his Portion. He stood up and said, "My name is Mori Kogoro, sorry for neglecting the two of you, but they also want to find Clue as soon as possible, and have been busy…"
[Thank you Patron for the reward [Happy Sword], bow~]

Chapter 697 Strange Questions? [Bonus Chapter for Patron Happy Huajian]
"It's alright, I understand your feelings. I have long admired Mr. Mouri's reputation," Police Inspector Tamana said with a serious expression and composed tone, appearing very reliable. After sitting down at the long table, he said to Mori Kogoro, "Please, take a seat. I imagine you must be very worried right now, but Inspector Megure has already called to instruct us that this case should be handled entirely by the Kumamoto Prefectural Police."
"But..."
Mori Kogoro had just started to speak when Police Inspector Tamana raised his hand to interrupt.
"Mr. Mouri, I can understand how you feel right now," Police Inspector Tamana explained calmly, "However, when you encounter This Situation, especially when it concerns your daughter, you may not be able to make the most rational Judgment. Please bear with it for a little while."
Mori Kogoro was about to say that they had a calm Big Shot on their side. He was indeed very flustered, and it was okay if he didn't participate, but his apprentice could participate in the Investigation.
However, before he could speak, Conan interrupted him by opening the door and entering.
"Excuse me for interrupting!" Conan noticed that the Police had already arrived and quickly said, holding a thick Phone Book, he ran 'thump thump thump' towards Chi Feichei and climbed onto the chair beside Chi Feichei to sit down, "Brother Chi, the Phone Book is here!"
Chi Feichei pointed with his finger at the circled places on the Map, "Check these two places first."
"Okay!" Conan nodded, looking at the Map and flipping through the Phone Book.
Police Inspector Tamana had just told These People not to busy themselves with useless things, but Mitsuhiko beat him to it.
"No way," Mitsuhiko frowned, "I've looked through all the Maps of Kumamoto, both large and small, and I haven't found a place name called Hiruko Town."
Police Inspector Tamana: "..."
It seemed These People weren't just busy with useless things, but this kind of self-Investigation was still not as good as directly handing it over to them, the Police.
The Investigation was being repeated!
Patrol Sergeant Kato was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, according to our Investigation, there is no such place name in Kumamoto."
Haibara Ai raised her eyes from the Laptop and said in a clear, cold voice, "The results of the online Search Command show several websites called 'Hiruko Town', but the places are all very far from Kumamoto."
"Then that means it's not a place name, it's very likely a Person Name," Conan lowered his head and flipped through the Phone Book, "I'm already looking for similar Person Names within the range Brother Chi circled, to see if I can find any Clues."
Police Inspector Tamana: "..."
Suddenly, he felt like he was in a Police Department internal Investigation meeting.
It was just that having a Group of Children sitting among them still felt very out of place.
"According to our Investigation Near the Sports Park, some people pointed out that they discovered a suspected female victim being carried away by two Men," Patrol Sergeant Kato continued, "This is the latest News."
"One wearing a green Shirt, gray Suit pants, and Glasses," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "The other wearing a brown Shirt, Jeans, and short Hair."
Patrol Sergeant Kato nodded blankly. That's right, the Investigation Progress of These People had actually kept up with them, the Police, "We have already arranged a Search Command..."
"Ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~"
Police Inspector Tamana heard his Mobile Phone ringing, said 'Excuse me, I'll take a Call' to Mori Kogoro, took out his Mobile Phone and answered, "Hello, who is this? This is Police Inspector Tamana... What did you say? And then?... Uh-huh... Okay... Understood, we'll do it that way."
"What's Wrong?" Mori Kogoro waited for Police Inspector Tamana to hang up the Phone Call and quickly asked, "Did something happen to Ran?"
"No," Police Inspector Tamana explained, "But just now the Prefectural Police Station received a Phone Call demanding the Police Department to deliver Ransom."
"What?" Mori Kogoro was shocked.
Conan also looked up in surprise. Wasn't this Kidnapping caused by Sonoko accidentally picking up a Mobile Phone?
The Other Party shouldn't have planned to Kidnap Mouri Ran for Ransom in advance.
Then asking for Ransom now, is it a spur-of-the-moment decision, or is there another Purpose?
And why would the Ransom Phone Call be made to the Police Station?
This didn't make sense!
"Now, people from the Prefectural Police Station are already bringing the Tape here." Police Inspector Tamana continued.
"Sonoko." Chi Feichei Look Towards Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko took a breath and said seriously, "I have no Problem here. I've already told Old Dad, Japanese Yen within 1 billion in Cash can be delivered here within an Hour. If it's Cash over 1 billion Japanese Yen, it will take a little longer, Because there is only one Large Bank nearby..."
Police Inspector Tamana looked at Suzuki Sonoko in astonishment.
These People had already started preparing the Ransom? The Pace was so Fast?
Also, 1 billion Japanese Yen in Cash could be gathered within an Hour, and she even said that there was only one Large Bank nearby, did she think the Bank was opened by her own family?
That Bank was indeed opened by Suzuki Sonoko's family. Although the Money was deposited by others, if This Situation occurred and a large amount of Cash was needed, it could also be temporarily used first. It could be considered that the Suzuki Family paid this Money themselves, and Cash could be transported from other places to replenish it in a couple of days.
"Another Large Bank in this area is the Tsubame Conglomerate's. If needed, I can Call and Request Old Mr. Yan, and he can probably also draw about ten billion in Cash first," Chi Feichei Say to Mori Kogoro, "In short, there's No Need to worry about the Ransom Problem."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
He would definitely return this Money, but hearing this, he really felt at ease.
Police Inspector Tamana: "..."
To deal with a Kidnapping, someone had prepared nearly 2 billion Japanese Yen in Cash in advance, and this was still what could be drawn out within an Hour. If the Kidnapper wasn't in a hurry to get it within an Hour, then probably even more could be drawn out. Who else would they Kidnap if not that Girl?
Soon, Police Inspector Tamana received a Phone Call. He heard the wealthy Police Officer on the other end say that he admired Mori Kogoro and was willing to Help pay the Ransom. He politely refused, "Cough, No Need, Mr. Mouri has already made preparations here."
The Famous Detective's Connections were really wild, and there were even people sending Money Because they admired his great name. Could he say that he also admired Mori Kogoro very much now...
It wasn't about the Money, this was just too much of a Life winner!
While waiting for the Extortion Recording to be delivered, These People still weren't idle and continued to do what they were doing.
"Um..." Patrol Sergeant Kato stepped forward, intending to learn from their experience. These People were not simple. There was only one Young Man and five Children, but their Investigation Progress had kept up with them, the Police, "What are you Investigating?"
"We are currently Investigating the Situation of two possible Locations where Sister Ran might be held," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "Confirming which Place it is."
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "..."
Wait, what about everyone's Investigation Progress being consistent?
This side had already locked onto the suspected Place of detention?
Police Inspector Tamana looked sideways in surprise and asked with Doubt, "Do you have any Clues that you haven't provided to us, the Police?"
"Ran made a Phone Call Before," Chi Feichei said in a calm Tone, "I already asked the Report to Police operator to make a Recording. Didn't he give the Tape to you?"
"You mean that Recording with many strange questions?" Police Inspector Tamana remembered that Recording. The voice of the person talking on the Phone with the female victim seemed to be this Young Man's voice, cold and clear, with a slightly gentle magnetism. That Tone that was calm to the point of being weird was also very recognizable.
Strange questions?
Chi Feichei raised his eyes and Looked at Police Inspector Tamana, "From the time Sonoko came out and discovered that Ran was missing, to the time Ran made the Phone Call, it was about forty minutes. The Other Party must have used a Car to transport a person in a coma. The Real driving Time might be less than 40 minutes, but even if we calculate based on 40 minutes of driving Time, the driving distance at the fastest speed, with the Place where Ran had the Accident as the Circle center, is within a radius of 30 kilometers..."
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "..."
A bit dizzy, but he understood the general Intention. This was also correct.
Police Inspector Tamana: "..."
Just now, this kid's Gaze was still calm, but he Specially glanced at him. Why did he feel like he was doubting his Intelligence?
Chi Feichei didn't give the Two People Time to digest it and continued, "Ran said she was locked in a Changing Room, she Saw several rows of Iron Lockers that looked like they were for storing Clothes, and the Ground had very thick Accumulated Dust. The Iron Lockers were old but not rusty, indicating that this Changing Room was not small, and could provide Clothes storage and changing facilities for more than thirty People at the same Time. Places with such Changing Rooms include swimming pools, gymnasiums, Schools, Large Shopping Malls, and Factories of considerable scale."
"If it's an abandoned swimming pool Changing Room, due to the Impact of Humidity and the Water Stain that Guests usually bring into the Changing Room, even if the Changing Room was cleaned Before being abandoned, the old Iron Lockers inside would not be able to avoid rusting, so swimming pools can be ruled out," Chi Feichei pointed at several places on the Map that were circled and then crossed out, and then moved to several other places, "Ran said she was on the Second Floor. Both gymnasiums within the range only have one Floor, so they can be ruled out."
"Sister Ran could see the Signboard of the building opposite by looking over a large Sunflower field, indicating that the Signboard was hung on the Second Floor or Third Floor of that building," Conan couldn't help but take over, wanting to indulge in Reasoning, "Among the Shopping Malls in this range, there is no Shopping Mall that has both an Open Ground in front and a small building with a Signboard, so Shopping Malls can also be ruled out."
Chi Feichei Saw this and simply handed it over to the Children to Say.
Anyway, he had also explained it when he asked the Children to Help with the Investigation.
"School Changing Rooms rarely use Louvered Windows. Generally, Ventilation Windows are placed in relatively High Places, and they use Lamplight for Lighting inside," Haibara Ai Say, "To Confirm, I checked the Situation of the three Schools within the range online. Among them, two Schools are not abandoned, and similarly, there are no abandoned Changing Rooms, nor are Sunflowers planted. The last School is indeed abandoned, but their School's Changing Rooms are all on the First Floor, and they only installed Ventilation Windows in High Places, without using Louvered Windows, so Schools can be ruled out."
"Then only Factories are left, Because that range is on the Edge of Urban Area, and there are quite a lot of Factories..." Mitsuhiko Look Towards Chi Feichei. Factories were ruled out by Chi Feichei, and he didn't know how they were ruled out.
"Today's Wind Direction is southwest wind. Ran Saw the Sunflowers leaning to the right and towards her, which means the Sunflowers are to the west of her current Location, and the building where she can see the Signboard is also to the west," Chi Feichei looked at the Map, "Within the range, there are only two Places in the west that have Open Ground where a large Sunflower field can be planted and also have buildings. One is the Yokohama Factory that has been abandoned for many years, and the other is an Abandoned Factory Area of Three Suns Manufacturing."
"Haibara is searching for Posts mentioning Changing Rooms in the Three Suns Manufacturing Forum," Ayumi Say, "If we can Confirm that the Changing Room in the Abandoned Factory Area of Three Suns Manufacturing is not on the Second Floor, then it can be ruled out, and we can more accurately lock down the Location, which is much Faster than running to two Places to Look."
Silence.
Police Inspector Tamana and Patrol Sergeant Kato stared blankly at the Group of People.
So...
Those strange questions Before could really Help others lock down the specific Location?
These People were really...
"Dong! Dong!"
The Door was knocked twice, breaking the silence.
A Police Officer opened the Door and said seriously, "Police Inspector Tamana, the Recording of the Kidnapper's previous Ransom Phone Call has been delivered!"
[Thank you for your Patronage, Happy Huajian], and also ask for Monthly Passes at the end of the month by the way
[Pen and paper fly].
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 698 Run to Smash the Place – Déjà Vu
"Now that we've confirmed the possible location of Ran, let's split up and search!" Mori Kogoro couldn't sit still any longer.
At this point, who would still listen to a recording…
"Teacher, calm down, sit down and listen to the recording," Chi Feichei looked at Mori Kogoro and reminded him, "It's been almost half an hour since Ran's phone call was forcibly cut off. We can't rule out the possibility that she's been moved. We must follow both lines at the same time."
Mori Kogoro was stared at by Chi Feichei's gaze and sat back down, saying seriously, "Yes, I was impulsive."
Cough, well…
He really wasn't suppressed by his disciple's gaze, nor was he indulging this disciple who was rude and bossy to his teacher. It was just that his disciple was right!
Yes, that's it.
Police Inspector Tamana played the recording.
"We kidnapped a high school student named Mouri Ran. If you want to save her, prepare 50 million yen in ransom, then take the money and board the yacht on the Amakusa Baal Route leaving at three o'clock. At that time, we will naturally contact you again…"
The recording was only this short segment, spoken by a mature-sounding Man.
Conan frowned as he listened. After the recording finished, he looked at Brother Chi, "Brother Chi, isn't the Kidnapper's behavior a bit strange? They actually called the Police Station directly to ask for ransom…"
"What's so strange about that? They must have guessed that we would Report to Police," Mori Kogoro looked at Suzuki Sonoko, "Sonoko, it's already past one in the afternoon. We have to rush to the wharf around two thirty. We really only have a little over an hour. We'll have to Request you for the ransom!"
"Don't Worry, Uncle," Suzuki Sonoko seriously promised, "Ran got into trouble because of me, so there will definitely be no Problem with the ransom!"
Conan speechlessly looked at Mori Kogoro, then looked at Chi Feichei again.
He still felt that the Kidnapper's behavior was wrong…
"Which side do you intend to go to?" Chi Feichei suddenly asked.
Conan was stunned, and pondered for a moment, "Go to the Factory."
"Then Teacher and the Police Inspector Tamana arranged Police Officer to deliver the ransom, pay Attention to collecting Clue," Chi Feichei looked at the two Police Officer. Occasionally playing the role of a Detective to boss the Police around was quite interesting, "As for Patrol Sergeant Kato, follow us and take a look at the Abandoned Factory Area of Three Suns Manufacturing and the Yokohama Factory in person. Since there is Open Ground in front of the Changing Room and no Coverings around the two Places, it's best to Help prepare a Truck. We'll disguise ourselves as people passing by delivering Goods."
"O-Okay!" Patrol Sergeant Kato nodded.
Police Inspector Tamana rubbed his forehead.
He suddenly recalled a Legend—if there are some amazing Detectives present, the Police will be treated as Subordinates and ordered around like crazy.
They in Kumamoto had never encountered that kind of Detective before. Today, he had finally seen it for himself. The Key point was that their Analysis and Arrangements were all fine, and he was quite convinced.
So what else could he do? Just do it!
…
The Truck was quickly prepared, and the cash needed for the ransom was still on the way.
Chi Feichei and Patrol Sergeant Kato changed into Moving Company Employee clothes. When they got into the Car, the five Children from the Junior Detective League were already waiting in the Car.
When Patrol Sergeant Kato was changing clothes, he asked Chi Feichei's Name. He looked at Chi Feichei with embarrassment, "Mr. Chi, this…"
"Let them go," Chi Feichei got into the Car, "They are small targets. When necessary, we can let them sneak in to Check the Situation."
Moreover, if there was a Situation where they needed to crawl through holes, Children could crawl in and Help open a Door or something…
"But…" Patrol Sergeant Kato hesitated, but taking a Group of Children to find Kidnapper and Hostage, was this operation really okay? Wouldn't it be a little too dangerous?
"By the Way," Chi Feichei suddenly remembered something and turned his Head to ask the five people sitting in the Back Seat, "What about your Tennis Match?"
Mitsuhiko looked at the others and said, "There's still an Hour and a half before it starts. We want to go and Check the Situation first. If we can Solve it, then we'll rush back…"
Chi Feichei looked at Patrol Sergeant Kato who also got into the Car, "In order to Rescue Hostage and perform official duties, temporarily violating Traffic Rules should be exempt from punishment, right?"
"Yes," Patrol Sergeant Kato nodded, and asked in Doubt, "What's Wrong?"
"It's nothing," Chi Feichei said with a Serious Face, "If we are investigated, I Hope Patrol Sergeant Kato can show Police Badge and explain the Situation. Everyone, hold on tight."
"Huh?" A bad premonition rose in Patrol Sergeant Kato's Heart.
Sure enough, before long, he witnessed what was called a Truck traveling like flying, what was called a Truck drifting through corners, and what was called riding in a Car until he felt dizzy…
The Key point was, even if Mr. Chi was speeding in a Truck, could he concentrate a little? Could he please not be distracted while speeding and talking to that Kid with Glasses in the Back Seat?
Conan: "Brother Chi, don't you really Think the Kidnapper's behavior…"
Chi Feichei: "Calling the Police Station, setting the time for ransom delivery more than an Hour later, specifying the Location too detailedly, and it's not convenient to let the money deliverers shake off the Police on the Yacht. They seem to be intentionally giving the Police Time to Search and ambush the Flight Path. It should be to divert the Police away. The Purpose is probably what Ran said. They actually want to kill someone today. Since we have already Reported to Police, they must divert the Police's Attention. They may not really want ransom."
"Huh?" Patrol Sergeant Kato was even more Stunned when he heard this sentence amidst his Dizziness, "Delivering the ransom is a Trap to lure away our Police?"
Conan was a little surprised, "Since you've already Realized this Point, why do you still let Uncle go to deliver the ransom?"
"Fifteen minutes later, we will arrive at Yokohama Factory. If Ran is not there after Search Command, then we will go to the Abandoned Factory Area of Three Suns Manufacturing to Confirm. It will take about 40 minutes in total," Chi Feichei said, "And at that time, Teacher has not yet boarded the Yacht. If we find Ran, we can Call to Notice them to return. If we don't find her, we still need to rely on them to Contact Kidnapper and obtain Clue about Kidnapper's Location again."
Just like what he said before, not sure if Mouri Ran had been transferred, then both lines could not be let go, leaving a way out.
Conan Realize, and secretly admired Chi Feichei's meticulous Plan in his Heart.
That's right, even if they knew it was a Trap to divert the Police's Attention and the Other Party might not want ransom, they couldn't give up that line and couldn't break Connection with Kidnapper.
The best thing to do was to pretend to be fooled and let Kidnapper relax their Vigilance. If they couldn't find Ran, they could still try their best to obtain Clue from the Contact with Kidnapper and re-lock Ran or Kidnapper's Location!
More than ten minutes later, the Truck Speed slowed down and slowly drove past the Street in front of Yokohama Factory, and then stopped on the Roadside.
Chi Feichei got out of the Car, lit a Cigarette in the wind shelter behind the Car, and Looked at the Situation of the dilapidated hollow Iron Gate in front, "It seems we don't need to run anymore."
Patrol Sergeant Kato and the five Children got out of the Car one after another, and also saw the Situation clearly.
Behind the Gate, on one side was a row of Abandoned two-story Factory Building. You could faintly See a Sunflower Field on the side of the Building.
At the End of the Flower Field, a three-story Small Building with a Signboard hanging on the Second Floor. You could roughly See that there were three Characters on the Signboard.
Although it was too far away and the Characters on the Signboard were not clear, the Outline of the Characters with few strokes was easy to Confirm. The middle Character should be the 'child' Character of 'Hiruko Town'.
This Is the Place!
Patrol Sergeant Kato Looked around, and did not Discovery any Suspicious Person guarding outside the Factory. He approached Chi Feichei, "Mr. Chi, what should we do next?"
Chi Feichei walked towards the Gate, "The Gate is not closed, just go in directly."
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko followed behind Chi Feichei, looking imposing, and secretly touched their Pocket, but unfortunately they were still wearing Tennis Wear, and they couldn't even touch a Gadget.
Conan was Speechless and followed.
Hey, Chi Feichei, it's fine for you to go in openly, but can you put out your Cigarette first?
Patrol Sergeant Kato was stunned. Looking at Chi Feichei biting a Cigarette with a Cold Face and calmly pushing open the Gate, and then looking at the three Children following with serious Faces, he inexplicably had a feeling of…
This was a Group of underworld Faction running to smash the Place – déjà vu.
These are a Group of Children!
Why did he have this Feeling? Confused.
Haibara Ai was in a trance for a moment, and also followed.
She suddenly Thought of the Feeling of following Search Command in the Organization… It must be an Illusion.
Anyway, the momentum cannot be lost, follow Brother Hichiji's Footstep!
"Wait for me!" Patrol Sergeant Kato saw that a Group of People had already entered the Gate, and quickly followed, lowering his voice, "Mr. Chi, it's very dangerous for us to break in rashly like this…"
Chi Feichei said with a Calm Face, "We are entrusted to send a Group of Children back. We saw a Sunflower Field on the Road, and they wanted to come in and Check it out. What's Wrong?"
"Uh…" Patrol Sergeant Kato choked.
This Reason was not bad, but he really wanted to remind Chi Feichei, could they please restrain that momentum of smashing the Place?
At least let the Children Performance be more Curious and lively, going to the Flower Field while playing around, instead of keeping a straight Face…
"Brother Ike, I Think we need to pay Attention to Security Issue," Mitsuhiko seriously informed the Situation, "We changed into Tennis Wear, and we are Not Carrying any Defense Gadget."
"It's okay," Chi Feichei walked to the edge of the Sunflower Field and Looked up.
The Venetian Blind Shutter of a Window on the Second Floor next to him had Traces of being pressed down. The Sound of a TV Program came from the Warehouse further away.
Conan immediately made a Judgment. The Thug were probably in that Warehouse, "I have an Anesthetic Watch, which can Handle one, but I'm not sure if the Other Party has a Gun in their Hand…"
Chi Feichei was not in a hurry to go to the Warehouse. He took the lead to walk towards the Building where the Changing Room was, Opened a Room on the First Floor, and quickly took out a Circle of Rope, handed it to Genta, "Conan, go to the Changing Room on the Second Floor to Check if Ran is there. Pay Attention to your own Safety. If you are chased, shout loudly and run Downwards."
"Okay!" Conan immediately ran Upstairs.
"Hey—" Patrol Sergeant Kato was a little Stunned, and really wanted to Ask Chi Feichei, is it really okay to let a Child go up to Check the Situation first?
Also, should he stay here to protect these Children, or should he follow up to protect that Child?
Chi Feichei entered another Room, came out empty-handed, and was not discouraged. He entered the next Room that could be Opened, and after going out, he Opened his Folding Knife and handed it to Haibara Ai, "Ayumi, Ai, there are Bags of Flour inside, take them out and take them yourself."
"Ah?" Ayumi just wanted to Say that she didn't bring a Small Bottle, and then she saw Haibara Ai taking out her Handkerchief, and her Expression became serious, and she also turned out her own Small Handkerchief.
Patrol Sergeant Kato saw Chi Feichei Opening the Door of the next Room again, and quickly followed, "Mr. Chi…"
He was wrong, this was not coming to smash the Place, this was coming to sweep the Place, right?
"Uncle…" Genta just frowned, and Thought of Chi Feichei being there, his Tone became more Polite, "Police Officer Uncle, can you Trouble you to move aside a little bit and not block the Entrance? I haven't taken the Gadget yet."
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "..."
@&%#&%...
This Kid's Tone is so awkward!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 699 Don't Understand, and Don't Want to Understand
"Genta…" Chi Feichei called out from Inside the Room.
"Yes!"
Genta responded, ducking past Patrol Sergeant Kato to enter the Room, trotting expectantly to Beside Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei withdrew his gaze from the row of expired Cooking Oil in front of him and Looked at Genta, "Understood?"
Genta brightened up at the sight of the Oil, recalling his past History of using Soap and Laundry Detergent Powder water to take down people, grinning as he Nodded emphatically, "I Understood!"
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "..."
The Child's Expression suddenly turned so evil.
Also, Understood what? Why doesn't he Understand?
Chi Feichei Turn Around and Go Out the Door, discovering that Mitsuhiko had already put away the Rope Ring, "Help Genta out."
"Okay!" Mitsuhiko trotted into the Room where Genta was.
"Mr. Chi, I am..." Patrol Sergeant Kato could only Follow Behind Chi Feichei.
Haibara Ai and Ayumi came out with Flour wrapped in Handkerchiefs, Saying to Chi Feichei, "Two bags should be Enough."
Chi Feichei Nodded, indeed, it was Enough.
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "Chi..."
"Brother Chi," Conan also came Downstairs, Saying to Chi Feichei with a serious Expression, "Ran is not in the Changing Room, she Should Already have been transferred, it's not clear Whether she is in the Warehouse, But the Criminal Should be There, Even If she's not There, catching the Criminal will also allow us to Ask..."
"Conan, Come Over and Help." Mitsuhiko poked his head out from the Entrance, "There's Cooking Oil here!"
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "..."
He is a Police Officer, Even If they don't listen to his command, can they Value his Opinion a Bit?
Everyone is making such a loud commotion, aren't they afraid of being discovered by the Criminal?
"Coming!" Conan ran over, Helping to take a bottle of Cooking Oil.
Chi Feichei Turn Around, pressing the Cigarette he had finished smoking against the Wall to extinguish it.
Patrol Sergeant Kato: "..."
Have a Little public spirit, Mr. Chi.
Although the Walls here are yellowed and old, pressing a Cigarette Butt on it is really...
Chi Feichei didn't take it to heart, it was already messed up, what was there to be afraid of destroying the Wall, Looking at the Group of People who were fully prepared, "Understood?"
Haibara Ai Nodded, "Understood."
Patrol Sergeant Kato silently Walked to the Window Side to smoke.
@&%#&%...
He doesn't Understand anything! And doesn't want to Speak!
Make a fuss, make a fuss, he doesn't care.
This Time, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko didn't Understand.
Conan was also Doubtful, what Things?
"Not Carrying Gadget, just look for Self-Defense Tools in the existing Environment," Haibara Ai explained with a Calm Face.
Chi Feichei Nodded, right, landing with two Hands, Equipment all depends on picking up, "Never give up at any Time, also, it's the Choice of Things, don't Choose Clubs, as Children, Even If you take Clubs, you can't beat Adults, and there will be Danger after Approaching, try to Choose Things that can Ranged Attack, or Things that can make Traps for Ambush, Okay, Ambush a Bit, lure people over."
"I Understand!" Mitsuhiko Nodded solemnly, exchanging a Look with Genta, carrying the Oil bottle, squatting down on the left and right at the Stairwell Entrance of the Building.
Haibara Ai and Ayumi also found a Place with a suitable Wind Direction and a commanding view.
Patrol Sergeant Kato just Turned Head, and heard Ayumi and Genta make high-decibel shouts.
"Ah—!"
Patrol Sergeant Kato's Hand trembled, and the Cigarette almost fell, Speechless as he Step Forward, "Chi..."
Chi Feichei grabbed Patrol Sergeant Kato, Dodging to a Place where he couldn't be Seen from Outside the Window, and took the Cigarette from Patrol Sergeant Kato's Hand again, pressing it against the Wall Behind him to extinguish it, and Throwing it at his Foot.
How old are you, still smoking when they are Ambush?
The Smoke will drift out of the Window, do you Know?
Patrol Sergeant Kato didn't Realize it, his Hand was Already empty, and Looking at the Cigarette Butt that Chi Feichei casually Threw at his Foot, he suddenly felt a Little sad.
Can't they listen to him Speak properly?
He will Cooperate, But at least let him Know what to do, right?
Soon, Patrol Sergeant Kato was no longer Doubtful.
The Children's screams alarmed the two Men watching Television in the Warehouse, and one of them Walked out of the Warehouse, Doubtful as he Walked towards the two-story Building.
The Man in the brown Shirt had just reached Downstairs when Haibara Ai and Ayumi on the Second Floor Window sprinkled Flour that blinded his Eyes, and Mitsuhiko and Genta squatting at the Stairwell Entrance closely Followed by pouring the opened Cooking Oil outwards.
"Ah!" The Man was blinded, and was panicking and Reaching Out his Hands to turn around, wanting to touch the Wall to hold on, his Foot slipped, and he was slipped by the Cooking Oil flowing to his Feet, "Ah!"
Genta Leaped and used 'Mount Tai Press', sitting down on the Man's back with his butt, letting the Man successfully let out the third 'Ah'.
Mitsuhiko saw that the Ground was full of Cooking Oil, and didn't run over, Throwing the Rope Ring to Genta, "Genta!"
Genta sat on the Man's back, Catched the Rope Ring, Grabbed the Man's wildly thrashing Hands, and very skillfully used the Haphazard Binding method to wrap around the Man's Hands, Throwing one End of the Rope to Mitsuhiko and the other End to Ayumi and Haibara Ai, "Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Haibara, Catch!"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Haibara Ai Catched the Rope, Cooperating to suddenly pull the Rope backwards, the Rope on the Man's Hands was tightened, and his Hands were also tied behind his back with his Hands reversed.
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also pulled the Rope and ran in circles around the periphery of a puddle of Cooking Oil, giving the Man who fell on it and was thrashing a 'Haphazard Binding'.
Anyway... wanting to break free is Enough.
From the Time the Man showed up to being caught, it was less than a Moment, and the Group of Children's nimble Tricks made Patrol Sergeant Kato's Scalp Numbing.
Chi Feichei Looked at the Man with Flour and Cooking Oil all over his Head and Face, Thoughtful as he Said, "Coat with Breadcrumbs, fry until golden brown..."
When Genta heard 'Breadcrumbs' and 'fried golden brown' and such, tears of Sympathy flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he 'slurped' and sucked them back.
"Gurgle..."
Among the other Children, it was unknown whose Belly growled.
Patrol Sergeant Kato's Scalp Numbing instantly exploded.
He wouldn't be surprised by anything this Group of Children did!
"Cough, Mr. Chi, this is really not okay!" Patrol Sergeant Kato hurriedly reminded with a serious Expression.
"I Know." Chi Feichei was Speechless.
He was Just joking, this Group of Children were Just Hungry, everyone is not Gin that dead psychopath, how could they see people and Grill Rack and think about 'roasting people' that kind of terrifying Matter?
Similarly, seeing people, Flour, Cooking Oil, especially when the three are Mixed, it is even more impossible to think about frying people to eat.
He really didn't brainwash that Scene!
Mitsuhiko, whose Belly was growling: "..."
That... they were busy Find People, and it's already two o'clock in the Afternoon, and they haven't eaten Lunch yet, hearing Genta sucking Saliva, his Belly growled, it's really not Intentionally, it's Just a conditioned Reaction.
The brown-clothed Man who was knocked down was lying prone on the Ground, his Eyes were stimulated by the Flour and tears were streaming down, feeling that his Eyes were finally not so Uncomfortable, he Looked up with a Fearful Face, squinting his Eyes, wanting to Effort to See clearly the Environment around him.
Saying fry him is one thing, someone's Belly actually growled Just Now... so scary!
Conan hurriedly Walked to Beside the Cooking Oil, and Asked in a deep voice, "How many Personnel do you have? Is Ran in which Warehouse?"
The brown-clothed Man sweated, "Y-you, you are here for that High School Student named Mouri Ran?"
Chi Feichei distantly Threw a Flour bag to Genta, "Mouth blocked, No Need to Ask."
"Oh! Okay!" Genta, who was still sitting on the Man, Catched the Bag, and very obediently rolled the Bag into a ball in his Hand.
The Man brainwashed a series of Scenes of 'blocking his mouth, coating with Breadcrumbs, putting in a hot Oil pan', Just about to shout, his mouth was blocked by Genta, "Woo..."
"He..." Conan frowned.
"Short Hair, brown Shirt, Jeans, he fits the Characteristic described by Sonoko, Sonoko Confirmed Before, this Man Should also have a Companion wearing a green Shirt," Chi Feichei Walked towards the Warehouse over There, "In addition, Ran was Sneak Attack and fell to the Ground from Behind, Then, the other party's Personnel Should be 2-4 people, the Possibility of 3 people is higher, But definitely no more than 4 people."
"Why?" Patrol Sergeant Kato Asked Doubtfully, quickly Following Chi Feichei.
Conan Realized, and Followed with Relief, "If the Personnel reaches 4 people or more than 4 people, Then, it is impossible for only one person to Come Over to check the Situation, If Personnel is Sufficient, how can they not bring one more person to guard against Unexpected Circumstances."
In short, if there are only two or three people left after removing this Man, they can Handle it no matter what.
Then, it's best not to give this Man a Chance to shout to Notice, so as to prevent the Man's Companion from Knowing the Situation and holding Mouri Ran hostage with a Weapon.
Quickly blocking his mouth is indeed the correct Choice.
A Group of People arrived at the Warehouse Front, and the green-clothed Man who vaguely heard his Companion's Scream Walked out of the Door Doubtfully to See the Situation, Just as he turned out of the Roller Shutter Door, he happened to bump into Chi Feichei.
At the Moment of Seeing the Figure, Chi Feichei picked up Conan, raised Conan's Arm, Opened the Watch-Type Tranquilizer Needle, and launched it, the whole Action was done in one go.
There was no suitable Angle here to knock the Man unconscious, and the Movement of Start Doing or moving his Foot was too loud, so he could only borrow Conan to use.
Conan who was being picked up: "..."
He didn't even React.
When the Man fell backwards, Chi Feichei had Already put Down Conan, Reached Out and grabbed the Man's Arm, directly pulled the Man to the Wall Side and gently laid him down, continuing to Walk towards the Warehouse as if nothing had happened.
Patrol Sergeant Kato, who was two steps late to Follow, Looked at the Man who had fainted and was leaning against the Wall, full of question marks.
Another one fell? What happened Just Now?
Conan entered the Door and Looked, relieved.
Mouri Ran was fine.
The Kidnapper's Luck is really good, there are only two people.
After All, these two people were knocked down by the Children and his Tranquilizer Needle, If there was a third person, and his Tranquilizer Needle was used, Then it would mostly be Chi Feichei Start Doing Violence and 'duang' him to the Ground to smash him unconscious.
Won't suffer personal Injury, isn't the Kidnapper's Luck still not good?
Mouri Ran was tied up and Thrown in the Wall Corner, Senseing someone coming in, leaning against the Wall, Looked up and saw clearly who came in, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smilingly, "Brother Hichiji... and everyone..."
Conan hurriedly ran forward to Help Mouri Ran untie the Rope.
In the following Time, Chi Feichei led a Group of Children to tie up the two Kidnappers and drag them to the Warehouse for centralized custody.
Patrol Sergeant Kato left the Warehouse, Called Inspector Tamana to explain the Situation, and Just as he entered the Door, he saw two Kidnappers being Thrown in the Wall Corner where Mouri Ran had been staying Before, the Television was Still playing the Baseball Game Program, and Chi Feichei was sitting in front of the Television, giving a Safety Lesson with a Group of Children.
"Don't trust the Hotel Security Chain, If it's not an Acquaintance, it's best to Speak through the Door when someone knocks, Even If you hang up the Security Chain and open the Door halfway, it's not Safety," Chi Feichei Said, "If the other party has a Chain Cutter in their Hand, with the Strength of a Normal Adult Male, at the Moment you Open the Door, they will Open the Chain Cutter, jam it into the Door Crack, Enough to cut the Chain in two seconds and forcibly push the Door Open..."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 700: Idiots Don't Deserve Sympathy [Bonus Chapter for Patron Night Willow]
Conan chuckled dryly in his heart.
The words were right, the logic was sound, but after the issues of 'taking the elevator might lead to being ambushed and shot' and 'possibly being blown up by a bomb placed in a backpack', Hissashi Ike was actually considering the scenario of 'bad guys forcing their way into the hotel room to commit murder'…
If it wasn't paranoia, then it was excessive suspicion!
Seeing that Hissashi Ike wasn't restless or showing fear, it didn't seem like paranoia, so it must be excessive suspicion…
Thinking this, Conan's expression turned serious, and he looked at Chi Feichei thoughtfully.
He suddenly realized, could it be that Chi Feichei usually imagined him doing something detrimental to Chi Feichei?
"When walking at night late at night, don't choose sky bridges and underpasses, walk on the sidewalk…" Chi Feichei said, suddenly feeling an inquisitive gaze staring at him. He turned his head and saw Conan looking at him with a solemn face.
This kind of probing gaze…
Could it be that he had revealed some opening, allowing Conan to sense his shady Alias?
Silently reflecting on what he had just said and the actions he had taken, it seemed there was nothing suspicious.
Conan was silent for a moment, feeling that when facing a person with excessive suspicion, it was best to explain clearly and not let Chi Feichei imagine strange things. He truthfully said, "Cough, I was thinking, would Brother Chi suspect that I want to harm you or something…"
"No."
Chi Feichei replied speechlessly, withdrawing his gaze.
Death God Elementary School Student wouldn't want to harm people, but would passively harm people and easily bring misfortune to Organization Undercover Agent.
The difference between the two is active and passive.
After Kir met Conan, she only had a car accident, was detained by the FBI, and was suspected by the Organization… that's all!
After Amuro Toru met Conan, his Undercover Agent identity was almost exposed, and he was constantly suspected because he was slow to give Rum the investigation Data on Kudo Shinichi… that's all!
He never suspected that Conan wanted to harm him, he only suspected that Conan would unintentionally kill him and had always been highly Vigilance… that's all!
"Conan, what are you thinking?" Ayumi said helplessly, "Brother Chi would never think that way."
"Yeah, Conan," Mouri Ran said with a dry laugh, "You're thinking too much!"
Conan thought about it, and it was true. His current appearance was that of a first-year Elementary School Student. No matter how wary Chi Feichei was, he wouldn't think he would harm people.
It was him who was overthinking just now.
He must have been infected by Chi Feichei!
"By the way," Mouri Ran then remembered the two Kidnapper who had been ignored in the wall corner, and said urgently, "They said that if they want to kill someone, today is the only opportunity. They have another Accomplice who is not here, the one who knocked me unconscious from behind at that time. We must quickly tell the Police!"
"Cough…" Patrol Sergeant Kato, who had been ignored even more thoroughly, coughed dryly. Seeing Mouri Ran look over, he said seriously, "I am Patrol Sergeant Kato from the Kumamoto Prefectural Police. Miss Mouri, I wonder if you remember the situation of the other person? For example, appearance, voice, and so on."
"Hmm…" Mouri Ran tried hard to recall, "I didn't see him from the front. Before I fainted, I seemed to hear a Male voice, but I can't remember it very clearly…"
Patrol Sergeant Kato saw that Mouri Ran didn't have any Clue here, and looked at the two Kidnapper, "While the Mistake has not yet been made, you should quickly tell me, what is your Intention, and cooperate with the Police to stop your Companion…"
"Humph!" The brown-clothed Man interrupted stiffly, "Don't waste your Effort, we won't say anything!"
Beside him, the green-clothed Man also said, "That's right, no one can save That Guy today!"
Chi Feichei suddenly thought of a person, "Naruse Kenzo?"
As Kidnapper, when guarding a Hostage, they didn't pay attention to the Outside Environment, and were leisurely watching the Land of Fire Cup Charity Tennis Tournament, and even turned the television sound so loud. If they weren't idiots, then they themselves were actually more concerned about the Land of Fire Cup Charity Tennis Tournament.
In Other Words, the Goal of these two people and their Companion was related to this Tennis Match.
Among them, the one who was more in line with the 'Death God Elementary School Student life-reaping Rule' was probably Naruse Kenzo, the organizer of this Competition and a councilor from Kumamoto.
Before the Children played the Tennis Match, Naruse Kenzo gave a long-winded speech, the content of which was roughly—'I Value the physical fitness and sportsmanship of the people and teenagers very much, so I funded this Charity Competition. All the Income from the Tournament Venue will be invested in the sports facilities of Kumamoto School. I hope everyone will support me more in the future and not be dominated by some Rumors…'
Listening to the discussions of some local Kumamoto people in the Audience Seats, Naruse Kenzo seemed to have been involved in a bribery Scandal before, but Naruse Kenzo's Secretary named Saeki took all the Guilt and committed Suicide. The reason why Naruse Kenzo funded this Charity Tennis Match was to regain reputation (wanhui mingsheng).
Naruse Kenzo had just fallen into Scandal and was being investigated, and as a result, his Secretary committed Suicide to take the blame. Thinking about it from a conspiracy theory perspective, the Organization controlled and won over more than one councilor. It was conceivable how many black asses there were among the councilors. Naruse Kenzo might really do this kind of thing, and with Naruse Kenzo's Identity, it was easy to threaten his Secretary to take the blame and commit Suicide.
"Y-You, how do you know?!" The green-clothed Glasses Man was shocked.
"Idiot, don't talk!" The brown-clothed Man tied beside him reminded in a low voice.
Haibara Ai spoke out, "When I was checking Data online before, I saw many Posts saying that this Abandoned Factory was once the Assets of that Councilor Naruse Kenzo. It is said that he was very harsh on his Employee."
Chi Feichei looked at the two Men, "I thought they were for Saeki."
Hearing this Name, the expressions of the two Men changed at the same time.
How much Situation did these people grasp?
Conan stared at the two, the corners of his mouth raised in a smile, "Looking at their Reaction, Brother Chi guessed correctly. They are indeed trying to kill someone for Naruse Councilor's Secretary Saeki, who committed Suicide out of Fear of Guilt."
They had also heard some Rumors before, and the Suicide of that Secretary was quite a big deal.
"They said they only have today's Opportunity," Chi Feichei looked at the Broadcast Footage on the television. He could see that Naruse Kenzo had Bodyguard beside him, "Today Naruse Kenzo will go on stage to present the Trophy to the Grand Competition Champion. It will be inconvenient to bring Bodyguard at that time…"
"Then, their other Accomplice is one of the two people in the Finals now…" Conan also looked at the television Broadcast Footage. Inside was the Finals between Mabuchi Kyohei and Masato Tachikawa. He understood, "It's Masato Tachikawa!"
"Why?" Patrol Sergeant Kato had just taken out his Mobile Phone, wanting to report the Situation to his superiors, and couldn't help but ask when he heard this, "Contestant Mabuchi Kyohei is also suspicious, right?"
"It's definitely not Mr. Mabuchi!" Ayumi defended.
"That's right," Genta also nodded, "He's a very nice person, he wouldn't be this kind of person."
"That's right," Mitsuhiko's Statement was more rational, "He has been Keeping Company with us for Training these two days, he shouldn't have Time to think about Murder, and he doesn't look like he wants to kill someone."
"I also don't think it would be Mr. Mabuchi," Mouri Ran looked at Chi Feichei, "Although he is from Kumamoto, they moved to Tokyo in their early years, right?"
Chi Feichei nodded, "Not Mabuchi, he doesn't have that strong desire to win."
Conan saw that Chi Feichei didn't intend to explain in detail, completely with an Attitude of 'you can understand if you understand, if you don't understand, then forget it', and explained helplessly, "The Kidnapper's Companion wants to avoid Bodyguard and get close to Naruse Councilor, so he must win the Champion, but pay attention, Brother Mabuchi just made a Mistake with his Slice Serve in this Competition, and it doesn't look like it's the First Time. He should be using Masato Tachikawa, such a Formidable Enemy, to force himself to quickly learn the Serving Style Brother Ike taught him. He has no Intention of winning at all. If he wanted to win, he would never use this Skill that he hasn't mastered and will frequently make Serving Mistake. Then it can only be his Opponent Contestant Tachikawa…"
Patrol Sergeant Kato nodded seriously, "I'll Call over now and ask the organizer to terminate the Competition!"
"Damn it!" The brown-clothed Man bit his teeth unwillingly, "That Guy must be triumphant!"
"But," Mouri Ran couldn't help but Speak Out, with an expression of incomprehension, looking at the two people, "Are you really planning to let Mr. Tachikawa bear the Criminal Charge of Murder? He is a very promising Tennis Player. Isn't it too Pity to put his Future into this kind of thing? And that Girl named Enko, she wouldn't support you doing this, right…"
Chi Feichei saw that 'super-indoctrination' had begun, and consciously walked to the Warehouse Entrance to smoke a Cigarette.
He supported some people seeking personal revenge.
Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.
However, he agreed with one point Mouri Ran said—it's not worth putting oneself in danger to retaliate against that kind of person.
Wouldn't these three idiots hire a Murderer?
Otherwise, don't take the Tennis Match as an Opportunity, slowly lie in wait, find the right Timing, and blow his Head off with one Gun.
Naruse Kenzo was estimated to have offended many people. Severing connections and launching a surprise attack, as long as they were well-prepared, it would be difficult for the Police to find the Murderer.
What's more, Murder is not the best way to retaliate, but the fastest way to solve Troublesome matters.
Of course, terminating the Competition now was the best Outcome.
At most, the three people were considered Attempted Murder, and there was still room for argument when the court session opened.
And the Tennis Match Finals being forcibly terminated halfway would also cause a Scandal. Naruse Kenzo would inevitably be investigated. By then, Saeki's Matter, and the Matter of being harsh on Workers, would come to light sooner or later.
As for whether Naruse Kenzo would be triumphant, and what the Mood of these three people would be…
He didn't care.
Idiots don't deserve Sympathy.
…
Five o'clock in the Afternoon, Tokyo.
Amuro Toru, with his hat brim pressed very low, walked into the Under the Overpass and brushed past Kazami Yuya, who was wearing a dark blue Suit, wearing Glasses, and looked like a refined office worker.
"Release message No. 06 to July."
"Understood."
The two whispered, their Footstep did not stop, and their Gaze did not look around, seemingly just two Passersby brushing past each other.
Amuro Toru walked out of the Sky Bridge at the same pace. Inadvertently, he turned his Head, and his Line of Sight met with a certain black Creature squatting on the Wall Top by the Roadside.
Amuro Toru: "…"
Red-eyed Crow are rare. Could it be the one Advisor raised?
Non-Ink: "…"
Finding people still had to be done by it. If it couldn't find Amuro Toru, it would keep a close watch on (dingjin) Kazami Yuya. The two would definitely meet secretly.
However, was it staring for too long just now and was noticed by Amuro Toru?
Amuro Toru was stunned, withdrew his Gaze, pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward. After walking a distance, he vaguely heard the sound of Wings flapping. He turned his Head to Look Towards behind him, and saw a certain Crow stopping on the Mailbox behind him. Helplessly, he walked to the Mailbox, rummaged through his Pocket, and found nothing that could coax Small Animals. He said in a low voice, "Don't Follow me… When you have Time, let your Master Check the Email sent to July."
He didn't expect a Crow to understand his Intention, just wanted to complain secretly about a certain Advisor who didn't pay attention to the July Email.
Non-Ink tilted its Head and looked at Amuro Toru.
There's a Situation…
[Thank you for your monthly pass, bow! In addition, ask for monthly passes at the end of the month]
