Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

"But I think Sister Xiaolan is more important, and these people are no match for me. I can deal with them with just one finger."

After saying this, Kirihara Akaya couldn't help but look at Yukimura Seiichi. He was afraid that if he withdrew from the competition midway, Director Yukimura would be angry. Unexpectedly, he noticed that the senior was looking at him with a relieved look.

He knew that what he did was right and couldn't help but let out a silly smile. However, when he realized that the current situation was not appropriate, he immediately put away the smile and put on a stern face.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya saw that Kirihara Akari, who was originally most concerned about the tennis match, also had the same idea, and he became a little shaken.

"Akaye, you're right. Why don't we help find Sister Xiaolan together?"

This is different from Conan's original idea, but he can't weaken the determination of the members of the Junior Detective League.

Suddenly, Officer Tamana's phone rang. "Moses, Moses, what kidnappers called the police station? Demanding a ransom? Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Officer Tamana explained the situation to the confused Mouri Kogoro and others. Someone had just called the police station and said that he had kidnapped a high school girl named Mouri Ran and demanded a ransom of 50 million yen. The tape was on the way.

The kidnappers demanded that the person who paid the ransom take the Amakusa Bar route which was scheduled to sail at 3pm, and it was now almost 1pm.

Kogoro Mori was a little anxious. He didn't think he could raise the money within two hours.

When Yukimura Seiichi learned that the kidnappers were demanding a ransom, he poked Atobe Keigo in the group chat.

The Chosen One·Apostle of Ke·Crisis Savior Group Chat (19)

Contemporary Picasso: Now it's time for you to show off your money skills.

First Zaibatsu: Huh? Do you need money? The last thing I lack is money. Yukimura, how much do you want and when do you want it?

Contemporary Picasso: 50 million, the sooner the better, Atobe, you can call the local police station later and communicate with them to show that they are willing to provide funding to Kogoro Mori.

The First Chaebol: Got it. Give me half an hour and I’ll give it to you right away.

The Light of the Metropolitan Police Department: Atobe, you are so handsome!

Master of Disguise: As expected, it’s Atobe!

Right Hand of God: Atobe, I love you so much!

......

The First Chaebol: You all just wait!

The secretary next to Keigo Atobe noticed that his boss's face was getting redder and thought he had a fever.

"Boss, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, prepare 50 million in cash for me and send it here, the sooner the better."

"Ok, no problem."

A good secretary needs to know what to ask and what not to ask, and do her best to complete the boss's instructions, no matter how stupid they are. He walked aside and made a phone call.

Not long after the phone call was hung up, the sound of helicopter propellers was heard above the tennis court. Atobe Keigo's subordinates completed the mission ahead of schedule.

Next, the secretary received instructions from his boss, asking him to call the police station and tell them that they had heard about Mr. Maori’s situation and were willing to help.

Therefore, Yukimura Seiichi and others saw Officer Tamana answer the phone again, and then told them that the money issue had been resolved and that there was a kind-hearted person who provided financial assistance.

Kogoro Mori asked Officer Tamana to let him deliver the ransom in person. Seiichi Yukimura thought about it and was afraid that something might happen to Kogoro Mori, so he offered to go with him.

"Mr. Maori, you are Xiaolan's father and you love him dearly. I will go with you to avoid any problems."

"Okay, thank you in advance, Mr. Yukimura."

Kogoro Mori and Seiichi Yukimura took a police car to the place mentioned by the kidnapper.

Conan stood there, lost in thought.

"You don't think this is a simple kidnapping case, do you?"

"Yes."

"Ordinary kidnappers would not be willing to meet the police, but this time they took the initiative to contact the police."

"Habara, you are right, and there is something else that I am very concerned about..."

"Conan, are you talking about Xiaolan saying they want to attack someone else?"

"Akaye, are you telling the truth or not?"

"Of course it's true. I heard it with my own ears. If you don't believe me, ask Conan."

Kirihara Akaya and the others all looked at Conan, even Haibara Ai was no exception.

Conan: Is Akaya a super-ear? He even heard this!

"Yes, the kidnappers seem to want the police to investigate Xiaolan's kidnapping before three o'clock. It must be related to their plan. This kidnapping case is just a cover. Their purpose is to murder someone, but when Xiaolan discovers this, they generally don't choose to kill her to silence her, right?"

"What? Conan, are you going to kill Xiaolan to silence her?"

"Ah! Could it be that Conan is the one who kidnapped Xiaolan, just to have a lot of money to buy eel rice?"

"No way?"

The three idiots of Teitan performed so steadily that Conan and Haibara Ai had no energy to refute them.

"Idiot, Conan and Huihara are just sorting out the case. They think that the kidnapping of Xiaolan is a bit strange and suspects it is related to another murder case that has not yet happened.

Now that the murder has not happened, Sister Xiaolan should be safe, but the longer time goes by, we don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Kirihara Akaya's thoughts were clear for once, which opened the eyes of Conan and Haibara Ai.

"Conan, is that what Akaya said?"

"Yeah, that's right."

As for why Kirihara Akaya followed his and Haibara Ai's thoughts this time, Conan did not delve into it. The most important thing now is to rescue Mouri Ran.

They first went to the County Comprehensive Sports Park, where Mao Lilan had just disappeared, to look for clues.

Ai Haihara used her laptop to search for all the information about Hiruko Town in Kumamoto Prefecture.

"From the clues I found, the place named Leech Town is very far away from here, so it doesn't quite meet the requirements."

Kirihara Akaya and Conan, who were searching for clues on the ground, sat next to Haibara Ai.

"It has been an hour since Xiaolan was kidnapped. According to the normal driving speed of the car, she should be within 40 kilometers from us.

Since there is no place called Zhizi Town, could it be related to a person's name? Let's look in the phone book."

Genta Kojima and others also helped to look for relevant information.

Yoshida Ayumi said worriedly: "Sonoko must be feeling very guilty. She might be crying secretly in the hotel right now."

"Garden"?!

Conan thought that there were more people who saw the text message than just Mouri Ran, and he was too anxious just now and missed this clue.

He quickly called Suzuki Sonoko, "Sister Sonoko, is there anything else strange about the collection you picked up besides the text message?"

Suzuki Sonoko heard his reminder and began to think: "It's really a bit strange. After we got there, we received another text message from the same sender."
