My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 757 Conan's Face Change

There was no treasure, only a huge ship. No one present was interested in archaeology. Only Shinna Xiang Baoli took out her mobile phone and took many photos of the huge ship with the idea of ​​collecting "materials".

Then everyone returned the same way, contacted the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Bureau of Life, Culture and Sports, informed them of the incident, and then returned to Tokyo.

After two consecutive theatrical cases, Aoki Matsu had a long-awaited "vacation". There were no cases for a long time and he was slacking off.

Aoki Matsu thought it was a break after the case, but later he found out that the Mori trio had been invited by two detectives from Nagano Prefecture to handle a difficult case.

Until one day, early in the morning, the police received a call from Kogoro Mouri, saying that the president of NIJIMURA company had been kidnapped.

After receiving the alarm call, the Transportation Bureau immediately set up a checkpoint nearby, and then Aoki Matsu led the team there. In order to avoid being monitored by the kidnappers, they first disguised themselves as cleaners, and then went to the main NIJIMURA store in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

When they arrived at the place, Aoki Matsu walked in and said to Maori Kogoro, "Five minutes after the incident, although a checkpoint was immediately set up, no suspicious vehicle was found. Detective Maori, are you sure you didn't misread the license plate?"

Maori Kogoro said to Aoki Matsu in a speechless voice: "How could I be wrong? Besides, Xiaolan and Conan are here too. How could the three of us be wrong?"

"Have the other party's family been notified?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Maori Kogoro replied: "I have asked the store clerk to contact the other party's wife, Mrs. Nijimura Saki, but it is not certain whether it is kidnapping or extortion..."

"No, it's absolutely correct." A female voice interrupted Kogoro Mouri.

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged woman holding an envelope in her hand.

The other party showed the envelope and said, "Because I found this letter in my mailbox."

The other party is Saki Nijimura, the victim's wife.

"Sorry, I'm being rude." After saying this politely, Aoki Matsu reached out and took the envelope from the other person's hand, took out the letter inside and unfolded it.

"President Nichimura is in my hands now. If you want me to release him, please put 2 million yen in cash into your company-made bag, and ask Ms. Saki to take the bag and take the express Blue Sky train departing from Ikebukuro Station in Toto at pm today, and get off at the final stop, Okuho Station.

But any time any where, we are always watching your actions, if there are police officers with you, the hostages' lives will be in danger. BLACK RAINBOW."

Black Rainbow?!

By the way, the most famous, expensive and best-selling product of the company NIJIMURA is the rainbow bag.

However, the reason why the rainbow bag is so popular is not because there are one or two rainbows on the bag, but because it is recognized as the most durable among the luxury brand bags.

Other luxury brand bags are precious and can be damaged or blemished if not carefully handled. However, the Rainbow Bag will not be damaged if it is only knocked around in daily life, and it is also very waterproof.

NIJIMURA's advertising slogan is: ANYTIME ANYWHERE. No matter when and where, use NIJIMURA backpack. It doesn't matter if it gets wet or bumped. ANYTIME ANYWHERE. No matter when and where, the backpack that belongs to you is NIJIMURA!

Aoki Matsu knew this because Shinna Xiang Baoli also bought a rainbow bag to carry. She carries a small bag when she goes shopping, and a large bag when she goes to the magazine office or goes out to look for inspiration. The main purpose is to carry a rainbow bag that is durable and lets others know that she is fashionable and rich.

This is a product that is both practical and impressive.

"A ransom of 100 million yen is required!" Maori Kogoro looked at Nijimura Saki and asked, "Do you know who the criminal is?"

After hearing this, Saki Nijimura lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at everyone, frowning slightly and saying, "In fact, there have always been counterfeits of our company's products circulating in the market, and we are just about to file a lawsuit."

"You mean that the people who counterfeited you are holding a grudge against you..." Aoki Matsu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Maori Kogoro heard this and said with his chin in his hand: "It is indeed possible. The threatening letter says ANY TIME ANY WHERE, which is the slogan of this company. And they added the signature 'BLACK' in front of your trademark RAINBOW. It's all something a counterfeiter would do!"

Aoki Matsu frowned slightly when he heard this. Could there be such a stupid criminal? Exposing his identity so obviously? Was he sure that Nijimura Saki would not call the police?

After thinking for a while, Aoki Matsu looked at Saki Nijimura and asked, "Mrs. Nijimura, when did you receive this blackmail letter?"

"Just after the clerk called me and said my husband had been kidnapped, I hurried out and saw a letter in the mailbox at the door. When I opened it, I realized it was a blackmail letter. But I don't know when they sent it or put it in the mailbox." Saki Nijimura replied.

strange!

After listening to what Saki Nijimura said, Aoki Matsu suddenly felt a little strange.

Owners of fashion luxury brands like them, no matter if they are rich or poor, have to live in large single-family villas for the sake of the brand's prestige.

After all, if luxury goods lose their class, no one will buy them.

If you live in a single-family house, the mailbox is placed at the front door, but the garage door is not at the front door. In other words, when the other party receives a call and comes here, they will not walk past the mailbox, but at most drive past the mailbox.

Driving at such a fast speed, coupled with the panic after learning that her husband was kidnapped, would anyone really pay attention to the mailbox at this time?

In a panic, even if they notice it, they will probably ignore it and drive away directly because of their anxious mood, instead of deliberately getting out of the car to pick it up. Because "successful people" like the Rendi Village couple always have a lot of inexplicable letters sent to them for no reason.

After thinking for a while, Aoki Matsu asked, "Mrs. Nichimura, what do you want Detective Maori to investigate?"

"My husband plans to ask Mr. Maori to collect evidence for the upcoming lawsuit." Nijimura Saki replied, then looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Mr. Maori, I have already raised 100 million yen in ransom, but I feel uneasy carrying 100 million yen in ransom alone, so I hope to ask Mr. Maori to be my bodyguard."

Maori Kogoro stood up straight immediately after hearing this and said seriously: "Leave it to me!"

Not long after, Saki Nijimura withdrew 100 million yen from the bank, counted it and put it in a rose-red rainbow bag.

Aoki Matsu pretended to help count and secretly put a sticker-type tracker on a banknote.

The bag may be thrown away after being emptied by the robbers, but the money will always be taken.

Therefore, it is safer to stick it on banknotes than on bags.

The reason why he told this secretly instead of openly to Saki Nijimura was naturally because Aoki Matsu was somewhat suspicious of Saki Nijimura.

The person who was kidnapped was a president. President is considered a high-risk profession in the world of science. Generally speaking, those who target the president are either employees or relatives, and both do it for money.

In addition, there are doubts about how Saki Nijimura saw a blackmail letter in the mailbox, so it seems that it is not impossible for Saki Nijimura, as a wife! In this case, it is natural to hide it from her.

After counting them all, Saki Nijimura zipped up her jacket.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri quickly said, "Let me help you get it there." After all, 100 million yen in cash is still a bit heavy.

"Ah, no, it's okay." Saki Nijimura refused and picked it up herself, but because the bag was too heavy, her hands felt heavy.

Kogoro Mori thought that Saki Nijimura was worried about him taking over the bag because there was 100 million yen in it, so he didn't force her.

At 2 p.m., Saki Nijimura walked into the station and, as the kidnappers requested, took the limited express Blue Sky train departing from Ikebukuro Station in Tokyo.

Aoki Matsu and his companions also put on plain clothes and pretended to be passengers. They boarded the express train Blue Sky at a door some distance away from Saki Nichimura.

Entering the train, Maori Kogoro frowned and looked at the two people behind him in worry and speechlessness and asked: "By the way, why are you two here too?"

Mao Lilan, carrying her backpack, whispered, "Wasn't it Dad who said he needed someone to help cover up?"

Conan immediately "feasted" upon hearing this, pretending to be a child, jumping up happily and saying happily: "Outing, outing..."

But he felt very heavy in his heart [ANY TIME ANY WHERE, we have no idea when and where they will pay attention to us]

Soon the Blue Sky Express closed its doors, started, and headed towards the front of the track.

In addition to the plainclothes officers and criminals on the Blue Sky Express, there were also criminals driving a car on the road next to the train.

Yes, although it is an express train, the speed of the Neon Express is just that slow, supposedly for safety reasons.

One hour and fifteen minutes later, the express train announced: Ding Dong, the next stop is Okuho Station. We have arrived at Okuho Station. Passengers on the Koshu Rapid Line Touto Okuho Line, please change trains at this station.

In less than two minutes, the train stopped at the platform.

Saki Nijimura picked up the bag containing the ransom and stood up, walking towards the door.

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu and others walked towards the doors closer to their positions and deliberately opened the wrong door as Saki Nijimura.

However, they did not expect that when Aoki Matsu and others got off the train, they saw the door where Saki Nijimura was about to get off. There were so many passengers waiting to get on the train that when they saw the train door open, they all rushed over.

Everyone panicked when they saw this. They were about to go forward to "save people" when they saw Nijimura Saki had already gotten off the bus and stood on the other side of the door, reading a piece of paper in her hand. After all the passengers got on the bus and were not blocking the door, she walked over with her bag, brushed past Aoki Matsu, and then walked towards the Mori trio.

Seeing Nijimura Saki coming, Conan cleverly said to Maori Kogoro: "Let's go quickly too."

Maori Kogoro was stunned and replied in confusion: "Yeah."

Seeing this, Conan reached out to pull Maori Kogoro's hand and said, "Hurry up."

"That's true." replied Kogoro Mori.

Then the three of them naturally walked behind Saki Nijimura.

Then Maori Kogoro looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "Madam, what did the prisoner say?"

"He wants me to change the car." Saki Nijimura replied in a low voice.

"Change car?!" Kogoro Mouri was stunned when he heard this.

At this moment, a hurried bell suddenly rang in the station.

The ringing sounded like some kind of signal, and Saki Nijimura suddenly ran forward with her bag and went up the stairs.

Neither Kogoro Mouri nor Ran Mouri reacted, but Conan did, and quickly ran forward, still acting, and said happily, "I'm leaving first," like a naughty child.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan hurriedly followed.

When Qing Musong saw this scene, he quickened his pace and started running.

Fortunately, after rushing as fast as possible, he managed to get on the train that Shaki Ninjimura was going to take before the train left.

As soon as they all boarded, the train closed its doors and started moving.

Aoki Matsu subconsciously looked at his watch: 3:20.

5 minutes is not much time to change cars.

In his mind, Aoki Matsu labeled Saki Nijimura as someone he was particularly suspicious of.

If Nijimura Saki knew about the change of car before, why didn't she tell the police? If she had just received the note from the kidnapper, why didn't she run away immediately to give herself more time? If she ran immediately, Aoki Matsu and others were not fools and would definitely follow her. But she first walked slowly to the stairs before running away.

Unless all this was requested by the kidnappers, it would be hard for Aoki Matsu not to be suspicious of Saki Nijimura.

There were not many people in the carriage, so Qing Musong found a seat diagonally opposite and sat down, and signaled others to follow him and sit down.

There is a seat on the train but you don't sit down. Isn't that crazy?

"Finally caught up." Mao Lilan said with a look of relief.

"That's great." Conan responded, pretending to be happy.

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Otherwise we'll have to wait a long time for the next bus." This was a reasonable explanation for their sudden running behavior.

"That's right!" Conan said in agreement, but like Aoki Matsu, he also had some doubts about Saki Nijimura.

After riding for a while, Kogoro Mori saw that the carriage was empty and there were only a few people, so he wanted to go over and ask Saki Nijimura what was written on the note that the kidnappers had slipped to her during the chaos.

Just as he was about to take action, Conan grabbed Maori Kogoro's clothes and whispered, "Let me go this time."

Maori Kogoro thought about it and agreed with Conan's idea. Then Conan pretended to be a child, walked over excitedly, climbed onto the seat next to Nijimura Saki, knelt on the seat and looked outside, and said in a pinched voice: "Wow, haha, that's fast."

But the next second, her expression changed, and she whispered to Saki Ninjimura, "Let me see the paper just now."

Upon hearing this, Saki Nijimura picked up the paper and let Conan see the contents on it: Change to the Touto Okuho Line and drop the bag containing the ransom in the middle of the Nakato Bridge.

After reading the content, Conan was shocked and could not maintain the surprised expression on his face.
