Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

When Mao Lilan heard the two men mention that they were going to "do someone", she stood up in panic and ran out. She accidentally kicked over a stool, making the two men next to her certain that she would hinder their plans.

The two men surrounded her as she rummaged through her bag for her phone.

At the same time, they noticed the familiar mobile phone in her hand, and realized that the message they sent was not received by the person concerned because the phone was dropped.

"We can't let this girl go like this!"

Ran Mao Li realized that they would target her, but fortunately she was not Suzuki Sonoko. She knew karate, and secretly hoped that she could defeat the two men.

Just as she was assuming a karate stance and preparing to strike first, she felt a sharp pain in her hand and then collapsed to the ground.

It turned out that the two men had an assistant who had been hiding in the dark, and when she wanted to resist, he took action in time to subdue her.

The three men discussed taking Mao Lilan to the warehouse and would not let her leave until they had finished their work.

When Suzuki Sonoko came out of the bathroom, she did not see Ran Mouri, and she had a vague ominous feeling in her heart. She first searched around, but did not find her friend.

She could only return to the tennis court, hoping that Mao Lilan would return to Conan and the others alone.

It's a pity that Mao Lilan is not here.

"What?! You said Sister Xiaolan is missing?"

"Yes, I didn't see her after I came out of the bathroom."

Kojima Genta asked first: "Will she go back to the hotel first?"

Suzuki Sonoko had also thought of this possibility. She called the hotel front desk on her way back and confirmed with them that Maori Ran had not returned.

Yukimura Seiichi then asked, "Have you called her mobile phone?"

“I called, but no one answered.”

At this time, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter. Huiyuan Ai was the most rational. "There are two possibilities for her not answering the phone. One is that she was not convenient to answer the phone at that time, and the other is that she could not answer the phone. It is unknown which situation it is."

"Sonoko, have you and Xiaolan experienced anything strange these two days?"

Yukimura Seiichi has heard what Miyano Osamu said. The most terrifying thing in the Conan world is actually curiosity. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, and this sentence is fully reflected in this world.

After hearing Yukimura Seiichi's reminder, Suzuki Sonoko began to recall what happened in the past two days. The strangest thing was the cell phone they found whose owner was unknown.

"This is the phone that Xiaolan and I found in Kumamoto Castle. We just left and went to the place mentioned in the text message on the phone."

At this time, Kogoro Mouri also walked up to Conan and the others.

"Why do you kids look like that? Did you lose the game?"

"Uncle! How can we lose when my ace Kirihara Akari is here? We have already advanced to the semi-finals and are just waiting for the competition to start and win the championship. However, an unexpected incident has occurred."

Kirihara Akari is also a good boy. Although he wants to play tennis honestly, his first thought after learning that Mouri Ran is missing is to find her.

"What accident?"

"Xiaolan seems to have been kidnapped."

"Kidnapping?!"

Kogoro Mouri's heart skipped a beat. What did he just hear?

"Dingling bell~"

Suzuki Sonoko quickly answered the call, she had already seen who the caller was.

"Xiaolan, where have you been? Are you okay?"

The hearts of Kogoro Mori and the others, which had just relaxed, became tense again after hearing what Sonoko Suzuki said.

"Were you really kidnapped?"

"Yes, the person who kidnapped me is related to the phone we found. It was the person who sent the message to Yuanzi."

"Is it really related to the phone? If I had known, I wouldn't have picked up the phone!"

Conan couldn't bear it any longer and snatched the phone from Suzuki Sonoko.

"Hello, Xiaolan, I'm Conan. Can you tell me about your surroundings?"

"I feel like I'm in a locker room right now."

"Outside? Is there any conspicuous sign so that we can come and rescue you."

"Okay, let me take a look. There's a large field of sunflowers outside, and a building that looks like it's abandoned, with a sign on it."

"What does the sign say?"

"It's Leech Town."

Mao Lilan described in detail what these three words are.

Then he added: "I heard another thing that they are going to kill someone today."

Just as everyone was analyzing the matter, the cell phone in Conan's hand was taken away by the anxious Kogoro Mouri.

"Lan! Lan, how are you?"

But his call went unanswered and the phone was hung up.

Seeing this scene, everyone had a bad feeling.

Kirihara Akaya's tone was slightly horrified, "Will the criminals who kidnapped Sister Xiaolan go back?"

No one answered him, but they all thought so in their hearts.

It was a very bad thing that the kidnappers discovered that Mao Lilan was passing on information to others. It might arouse the anger of the kidnappers and make her situation even more dangerous.

Although Kogoro Mouri is a detective, when faced with the kidnapping of his child, he still chooses to seek help from the police. Moreover, they are unfamiliar with Kumamoto, and they have no idea what to do with the information provided by Ran Mouri, so they can only ask the locals for help.

The police arrived at the scene quickly. After hearing about this, Officer Megure made a special call to Officer Tamana, the person in charge of the case, and asked him to pay more attention.

Officer Tamana said that they would take full charge of the matter because Kogoro Mori was the victim and it would be difficult for him to remain objective and calm.

Although Kogoro Mori was somewhat reluctant, he knew that what Officer Tamana said was right.

The information they had in hand was provided to the police officers early on, and they are now responding.

After questioning, it was found that during that period of time, there were indeed witnesses who noticed two men taking a girl who seemed to be unconscious away from the scene.

"But there is no place called Hiruko Town in our Kumamoto Prefecture."

This news was a bolt from the blue for Conan and the others. They were sure that Ran Mouri would not give wrong information, so there was still a part that was not right.

Suzuki Sonoko became more and more anxious as she listened. She couldn't help crying, "Uncle Maori, I'm sorry. I wish I hadn't picked up that phone."

Maori Kogoro did not vent his anger on her, "The real person who made the mistake is the kidnapper, it has nothing to do with you."

The three idiots of Teitan are still worried about the tennis match.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya didn't want to give up this competition. He felt that after Ran Mouri was rescued, they would be very happy to see them getting the trophy.

"Hmm? I think we should still prioritize Sister Xiaolan's safety, right?"

"Eh? Akaya, isn't tennis your favorite?"
