"Go save Naomi? I think you're determined to scare someone to death."

Sitting on the stool by the window, Haibara Ai looked at the message on the mobile phone screen, feeling both amused and helpless, but she still stood up and tiptoed out of the room.

When Conan told her that Naomi was likely kidnapped by members of an organization codenamed Binga, her first reaction was indeed worry, but she soon calmed down.

For this trip, Tang Ze's main plan revolved around organizing that group of people. If she guessed correctly, Binga was Tang Ze's main target.

With this premise, it would be impossible for Tang Ze to watch Binga harm someone in front of him, let alone a world-class engineer like Naomi.

Tang Ze, who has been tinkering with Noah recently, is crazy about finding a programmer. Even Itakura Taku was used by Tang Ze to repay a favor before Jun left. In exchange for his personal safety, he signed a contract to work remotely for him. Even for Naomi's technical ability, Tang Ze would never let anything happen to her.

By this calculation, either Tang Ze was confident that he could guarantee Naomi's safety, or Naomi's kidnapping itself was part of Tang Ze's plan.

Ever since she met Tang Ze and gradually integrated into the Phantom Thieves, her mentality has been quite stable, that is - there is nothing to worry about.

Tang Ze will help her bear the pressure that she cannot bear and the problems that she cannot solve. If Tang Ze can't bear it, then it's the same for her to come. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about.

"You mean, you dressed up as me and deliberately moved around on the balcony?" After listening to Tang Ze's description, Huiyuan Ai tilted her head in confusion. "You want them to arrest you?"

"Yes. This is the fastest way to locate Miss Naomi, isn't it?" Tang Ze curled his lips.

With Noah's skillful hands, the photo in Naomi's necklace has been replaced by them.

In addition, Naomi Argento and Miyano Shiho had overlapping school experiences. Seeing the photos of Vodka and Gin, and of course Binga, they would only think in another direction, that is, Naomi used the little Shiho she had photographed before during the test to find Miyano Shiho's current whereabouts.

As for why Miyano Shiho appeared on Hachijo Island so coincidentally, Karasawa believed that with a quick-witted person like Mizunashi Rena, it would not be difficult to guide others to accept reasonable logic.

Whether Miyano Shiho followed the organization's footsteps and came here, or saw Naomi on TV and ran over to meet her, it is reasonable and there is nothing to worry about.

Now, what Tang Ze needs to do most is to find the location of the two submarines belonging to the organization.

At this stage, there is no faster way than going straight up.

"Really?" Huiyuan Ai narrowed her eyes suspiciously and moved closer to observe Tang Ze's expression. "Why do I feel like you're trying to create an 'alibi' for yourself?"

Tang Ze gave her a mysterious smile in return, agreeing with what she said.

Judging from Conan's extremely heavy expression and words after dinner tonight, Haibara Ai has reason to believe that as long as there is any movement on the Pacific buoy tomorrow, Conan will definitely find a way to persuade Kogoro Mouri to run over and then enter again naturally.

By that time, Tang Ze, who had already run up once, had no reason not to follow.

But if he did that, under the watchful eyes of so many policemen and other people, and more importantly, Binga, his actions would be restricted.

But now, if the organization follows Miyano Shiho's trail and captures Tang Ze, then this will be a natural alibi for both sides.

The police and detectives would not be able to suspect him, and if the Phantom Thieves took any action, the organization would not be able to suspect him either, killing two birds with one stone.

The only problem with this plan is that it would be best if they didn't see Haibara Ai, the smaller version of Miyano Shiho, tonight, as it would cause complications.

"I knew it." Patting his head, Huibara sighed, stood up consciously and walked towards the cloakroom.

According to normal occupancy standards, their group of people should have three people in a room.

Because Suzuki Sonoko's status in the group is different now, they received higher treatment and lived in a standard room for two people.

For some unknown mysterious reason, there were not enough standard rooms. As the main comfort target of the trip, Tang Ze received extra care and lived in a deluxe king-size room alone. His dressing room was still very spacious.

"You don't have to rush in and hide now." Feeling like he was being treated like a bad brother abusing his sister and bullying others, Tang Ze reached out to stop him. "Just hide after I get out. Anyway, I think there will be too much noise later, and they won't have time to search thoroughly."

"I know." Pushing Tang Ze's hand away, Huiyuan Ai didn't even turn her head. "I don't really want to see you dressed up like me in front of me. Try your best, brother."

There was a subtle sarcasm in her calling of "brother", and it was obvious that she wanted to complain about Tang Ze pretending to be her without thinking. However, it was rare for Tang Ze to hear her call him like that, so he just felt good and didn't feel attacked at all.

"Don't worry, I will bring your little sister back safely."

"What about my little sister... Never mind, don't scare her too much. Try to take care of her mentality if you still want to work with her in the future."

Tang Ze was not afraid at all.

Anyway, Haibara Ai is in her hands, and for this reason alone, there is no reason for Naomi to refuse to cooperate.

So when Binga and Vodka arrived at the corridor on the third floor, before they could use any means to search each room, they saw a brown-haired woman hurriedly opening a room and walking in.

"It seems that luck is on our side this time." Grinning, Vodka was extremely satisfied with the current progress.

He waved his hand, and he and Binga took one side, quickening their pace and approaching the woman.

The two of them moved quickly, and when they were blocking the door, the woman standing in the room had not left yet.

When she turned her head, the woman's face showed shock and fear, and her face was exposed under the light.

That face was very familiar to Vodka.

The eldest brother had been chasing this woman for so long, and he had been busy investigating her whereabouts for so long. Finally, he stood in front of her face to face again.

"Shirley, I got you..."

Vodka showed a ferocious smile, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw the woman turn her head to look at something, then reached out and turned a switch without hesitation.

This is not a guest room, but the distribution room on this floor of the hotel. The circuit box for this entire floor is on the wall.

The surrounding lights suddenly went out.

Vodka and Binga cursed in unison.

Both of them wore sunglasses on this trip, and when the power was turned on, their vision was severely obstructed.

Also taking advantage of this gap, the person in front of them lowered his body, jumped out from the gap between them, and ran in the corridor.

Vodka stretched out her hand to try to grab the person who rushed over, but her speed was much faster than she had expected, and her grab completely missed.

"Damn it, Binga, hurry!"

The two men took off their sunglasses and ran out quickly after the woman.

Miyano Shiho's light-colored coat was very eye-catching in the dim environment, and the figure quickly disappeared around the corner.

When they caught up, they could only see a door that was about to close.

This room number was also within the range of the three rooms they had screened earlier, so both of them sped up and pulled the door open before it was completely closed.

"You are--"

There was a person standing in the entrance of the room, turning his head to look in their direction, as if he wanted to say something.

Vodka and Binga, two men wearing sunglasses late at night, were just attacked by the darkness. Their vision had just slightly adapted to the darkness and they could not see the shapes accurately. They could only catch sight of each other's light-colored coats and brown hair.

They saw Shirley, and Shirley ran in this direction, and only this door was open in this direction.

The logic is smooth, everything is very intuitive, and their judgments are very quick.

Vodka immediately pounced on him, and Binga reacted very quickly, taking out the tools he had prepared, and covered the person who was pressed by Vodka into the bag, muffling the person's voice.

After a while, we'd have to transport him to the beach, put him in a bag, and shove him into a submarine by water, just like when we kidnapped Naomi that day. So, we might as well do it all in one go, so there's less noise.

Binga groped his way to the neck of the human figure and struck it with his knife. Feeling the force released from the body under his palm, he immediately whistled.

Two people tied up the human figure on the ground with cable ties, then one held the head and the other held the feet, and left quickly.

Sitting on the carpet in the cloakroom, Huibara Ai watched all this silently through the vent: "......?"

Compared to the fact that two people were able to find this place accurately, the most outrageous thing is that Tang Ze's plan worked.

Tang Ze has always been quick and has good acting skills. It is not a problem for him to disguise himself and run out, and then quickly remove the disguise after rushing back to the room.

Tang Ze's hair color is almost exactly the same as her own. In the darkness, when it is impossible to distinguish faces, it is not surprising that he mistook Tang Ze for her and attacked her.

The problem is, even if Tang Ze deliberately raised his voice just now and couldn't distinguish the other person's voice for a moment, couldn't he tell whether the person in his hand was a man or a woman?

She had a deep suspicion that Vodka and Binga had something against her.

She admitted that her figure wasn't particularly curvy, and she wouldn't wear clothes that specifically accentuated her figure, but it wasn't to the point where she couldn't even tell the front from the back, was it?!

So when Conan, who was already half asleep, was awakened by the sound of a car engine, he opened the door and found that the power was out. When he hurried to the room with the door wide open, Huiyuan Ai just repeated with a blank expression: "They took Tang Ze away."

"Huh?!" Holding his glasses, which were not even properly put on, Conan made a sound of great bewilderment, "Why? How could you..."

"I said, they took Tang Ze away." Huiyuan Ai just continued to read, "They should have driven here. I heard the movement of the car, and I felt uneasy, so I came to look for Tang Ze."

What else could she say? If I said a few more words, she'd start cursing.

Conan frowned, completely confused as to why this attack happened.

Karasawa has been operating openly in Tokyo for such a long time, and he has Goro Akechi to "escort" him. If the organization wants to take action against him, there is no need to wait until they are traveling and then travel all the way to Hachijo Island to kidnap him.

But apart from the conflict between Tang Ze and the organization, what other reasons were there for kidnapping him? Tang Ze didn't do anything during the day, did he?

Could it be Binga? Why? Because during the day, Tang Ze showed some very obvious attitude, making Binga feel that he was at risk of being exposed?

Or perhaps Binga and Akechi Goro were on different sides, leaning more towards the faction directly controlled by Karasawa? That wasn't a reason to act now.

Furthermore, wasn't Binga's suspect currently inside the Pacific Buoy? How did he find the time to come out and arrest someone? The Pacific Buoy wouldn't be so outrageous as to allow employees to come and go freely in the evening after a kidnapping incident in the afternoon, right?

That doesn't make sense. After carefully calculating the distance, it shouldn't be Binga who's clearly still lurking and cracking the mission who's doing this...

Conan, who felt it was outrageous, didn't understand the logic behind the same treatment of Tang Ze and Naomi, but he acted quickly.

He quickly calculated the hotel map in his mind.

Following the direction indicated by Haibara Ai, go down the stairs over there and you will reach the safe passage, which allows you to go outside without going through the interior of the building.

The exit over there should be facing the direction of...

He walked across the room, pulled open the tightly drawn curtains, jumped up, and leaned over the balcony railing, looking down at the parking lot below.

Then, in his shocked sight, he actually saw two men in black carrying a human-shaped object and walking towards an off-road vehicle.

——One of them, just by looking at its size, can be guessed, it should be Vodka.

As for the other person, his appearance couldn't be seen from a distance, but his bold and lively cornrows could be distinguished even from such a distance.

It does fit the information passed on by Shuichi Akai. Binga's appearance characteristics are consistent with the fact that he can act together with Vodka. There is no other possibility.

Did vodka and Binga work together? So, is there a gin thing going on here too?

This is really troublesome. Damn it, with Tang Ze's strength, why was he defeated so easily? Was it because of a sneak attack?

Conan's mind was constantly racking up logical questions, and even his thoughts were a bit short-circuited, but his hands still moved quickly.

He removed the retractable straps, hooked them between the two gaps in the railing, unscrewed the switch on his shoes, and then turned on the night vision goggles on his glasses.

No matter what, we can't let them take people away like this!
