Stay away from Conan.

At this moment, for Xiao Ai, after all, she knew that since Ooka Momiji and the others had escaped, Gao Yuan must know the situation of them. However, he asked so loudly on purpose, so he must have his purpose. So she simply answered according to Gao Yuan's meaning.

Just like that, upon hearing Xiao Ai's movements, the two gunmen guarding Xiao Ai and the others immediately realized what was wrong, knowing that Xiao Ai was talking to someone remotely -

They have props that can be used for communication, and they use them so blatantly. Do they think we are fools?

So, immediately, one of the gunmen came forward and pointed a gun at Xiao Ai and asked her to hand over her things:

"take it out!"

The gunman yelled viciously.

Then, just as Tie Zhuyu and the others beside them looked at the gunman seriously with the mentality of at least protecting Xiao Ai, Gao Yuan's voice sounded again:
"You are Kadokura's men, right? Tell Kadokura that he wants Keizaburo Axie's treasure. I know where it is. Tell him to contact me directly! But the premise is that if anything happens to the people you captured, don't even know where that thing is!"

So, as soon as these words were spoken, after hearing the other party directly say that he was Monkura's subordinate and knew where Keisaburo Axie's treasure was, these armed gangsters also realized that this matter seemed to be beyond their authority to handle and they had to inform their boss Monkura.

So, they quickly reported the matter to Monkura, who, after hearing the news, thought for a moment and gave instructions -

Let Gao Yuan go to a telephone booth somewhere in Hakodate City and wait for him to call and talk with him in detail. Before they contact him, his people will not take action against Xiao Ai and the others, but the communication tool he is using to talk to Xiao Ai and the others must be destroyed.

Gao Yuan understood that Monkura was worried that the detective badge would expose their whereabouts, so they had to take the lead in the communication method, and as for the specific telephone booth...

Menkura could have sent someone to keep an eye on the situation to prevent this from being a trap set by the police.

Gao Yuan fully agreed with this. After all, it was related to the whereabouts of Keisaburo Axe's treasure, and he didn't believe that Kadokura would miss any possibility.

Moreover, even without the detective badge, Gao Yuan still has a trump card that outsiders can never find out if he wants to find out the location of Ai and the others - "lover".

So just like that, after disconnecting the detective badge, Gao Yuan took a taxi to the phone booth that Monkura mentioned.

Here, the field of vision is wide. If someone is monitoring the surroundings, they can see the situation of the person answering the phone in the phone booth at a glance, and it is also convenient for sniping...

In this regard, looking at the location of this telephone booth, Gao Yuan immediately determined why Mencang chose to let him wait for the call here.

Gao Yuan didn't care about this. He walked into the phone booth naturally and waited for Mencang's contact.

……

On the other side, after the detective badge was handed over by Ai and destroyed by Kadokura's men, Ai and others were taken to Kadokura's hiding place by Kadokura's subordinates, and together with Fukushiro Ryohei, they became Kadokura's hostages.

Afterwards, Monkura received a reply from his subordinates who were sent to observe the vicinity of the phone booth. After knowing who entered the phone booth, Monkura dialed the number of the phone booth and began to contact Gao Yuan.

"Detective Akechi Takato, right?"

As the call was connected, Mencang spoke to Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone in a horrified and somewhat threatening tone, directly pointing out Gao Yuan's identity.

In response to this, Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone did not comment. He was not surprised that Mencang was able to find out his identity, and he had no intention of hiding his identity when negotiating with Mencang.

So, facing this situation, Gao Yuan acted calmly and said:

"That's right. It's easy to investigate my identity, Mr. Kadokura."

"very good."

Hearing Gao Yuan's calm answer, Mencang sneered and said:

"Then let's not waste time talking, Detective Akechi. You said you know where that thing is, right? Then just tell me! After all, you heard the phone call I made to the hospital, and you know exactly what's going on now! If you don't tell me where that thing is, I'll detonate a bomb in one minute, how about that?"

So, Kadokura threatened directly.

However, Gao Yuan completely ignored Mencang's words and just said:
"I need to first confirm the current situation of those people you captured. I want to hear their voices."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

However, Mencang seemed very dissatisfied with Gao Yuan's attitude, and said directly:
"You are not in a position to bargain with me now. Now, there is still one minute left..."

As he said this, Kadokura began to watch the second hand of his watch, and when the time came, he would press a detonation button. But——"If you want to detonate the bomb, just detonate it, Mr. Kadokura."

Just when Mencang thought he had everything under control and that he had absolute dominance, Gao Yuan's words made him a little confused.

"Ok?"

Not sure whether he didn't hear clearly or was not sure, Menkura said in confusion.

Then, Gao Yuan said word by word in a louder tone:

"Don't you understand? Mr. Kadokura, I'm saying -

"If you ever — want — to — explode — the — bomb, — just — do it!"

He said this in a sarcastic tone, as if he didn't take Menkura seriously at all.

"you--"

All of a sudden, Mencang couldn't help but be angered by Gao Yuan's words, and subconsciously pressed the detonation switch.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But immediately, Gao Yuan's next words calmed him down -

"Mr. Kadokura, I think you are the one who doesn't understand the situation!
"Plant a bomb in Hakodate and use all the citizens as hostages?

"Please! I'm not a policeman. What does the life and death of citizens I don't even know have to do with me? Your bombs can only threaten the police, but for me...

"It doesn't matter!"

Suddenly, as Gao Yuan said this very casually, Mencang, who was about to detonate the bomb, was stunned -

Can you threaten the police?
What does the life and death of someone I don’t even know have to do with me?

Such words were actually said by the detective Gao Yuan, which made Mencang feel a little confused.

After all, Gao Yuan was in cahoots with the police, and subconsciously, Mencang equated him with the police.

But after thinking about it carefully and listening to his words, Menkura realized that what he said was indeed right!

He is not a policeman! After all, he is just a civilian!
After realizing this, Kadokura calmed down and stopped himself from detonating the bomb.

After all, this is a means of threatening the police. If it is detonated at this time, the police may just let it go...

But, no…

Suddenly, Mencang reacted quickly, and then sneered:
"Yes, that's right. Citizens who have nothing to do with you can't threaten you, but...your friends are in my hands!"

——I almost got myself into trouble. The hostage was clearly in my hands.

Kadokura thought so and continued:

"If you don't tell me where that thing is, I will kill one of you for every minute that passes..."

"If you dare to touch them, you will never get that thing in your life. You know what it is, and I know exactly where it is. If anything happens to my friend, I promise -

“I’ll just kill you with that thing!

“You can try.

"After all - if anything happens to them, I won't be in the mood to explain right or wrong!"

Gao Yuan's cold answer made Mencang even more stunned... (End of this chapter)
