Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Under the moonlight, seven or eight people were standing on both sides of the courtyard in front of a Japanese-style building.

"The child who was kidnapped is my only daughter, Tani Akiko, who is ten years old. My housekeeper, Aso, saw the perpetrator with his own eyes (and he's amazing that he didn't try to snatch the child away or call the police immediately)."

The client, President Gu, explained the case.

Kogoro Mouri listened while holding a photo of Tani Akiko.

And our Conan was jumping around beside him very anxiously, and just when he couldn't bear to see Tucao's smaller body anymore, he showed a depressed expression.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Kogoro Mouri let go of the hand holding the photo and put it on the edge of his pants, and then he took the opportunity to grab the photo.

After taking a look, I unconsciously asked, "What was the situation like when you were kidnapped?"

"Who is this kid?" President Tani asked Conan with a puzzled look on his face.

Maori Kogoro hurriedly explained speechlessly (after all, it was not his own child, nor could it be an illegitimate child (￣w￣;)), "It's nothing, it's a friend's..."

Then he brought Conan to Xiaolan like a chick and said, "Xiaolan, please keep an eye on this kid!" Then he turned around and asked the butler Aso seriously, "Then, Mr. Aso, please explain the situation in detail!"

Butler Aso was confused by Kogoro Mori's actions, but he still answered.

(After all, he was the one who cooperated with Tani Jingzi in the fake kidnapping in the beginning, so he must be feeling a little guilty now)

"At that time, the young lady came back from school and was playing in the yard, and then a man in black clothes appeared from the corner of the yard.

"Tell your boss that if you want your daughter back, close the company for a month. Of course, if you try to call the police, your daughter will die."

Having said this, the prisoner climbed up a pine tree and escaped…”

"What are the characteristics of that man?" Conan interrupted at the right time.

Kogoro Mouri on the side was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, ready to strike, and President Tani was watching with displeasure.

"My eyesight is not good and I can't see clearly..." Butler Aso answered innocently.

"It's really a headache..." Conan said speechlessly, holding up his chin in a pretentious manner. Just when Maori Kogoro couldn't hold it back any longer and was about to give him the iron fist of love...

"Wait a minute, sorry to interrupt you," an unexpected voice attracted everyone's attention at this moment.

It was only then that they discovered that a handsome young man had walked into the middle of the group. It was he who said the words just now. He was Hua Lantian, who had been watching the show and finally couldn't help but speak.

Before Maori Kogoro could stop him from continuing, he spoke again:

"Don't you think this is strange? President Gu must be very wealthy, right? Doesn't he have security guards at his house? Forget about how the criminal got in by the security guards. He tied someone up and was able to climb out of the pine tree without being noticed?

Butler Aso, you are also very strange. Even if your eyesight is not good, you saw the whole crime and could reconstruct it completely. But you just watched your young lady being kidnapped and did nothing!

I think this should be no accident. Either it was an inside job, or there were insiders colluding with them. And I think the most suspicious insider is you, Aso Butler! "

As he spoke, he pointed at Butler Aso, and his gentle eyes suddenly became sharp and stared at him intently.

At this moment, everyone else present suddenly had an idea and looked at Butler Aso at the same time.

Conan was particularly excited, not realizing that he had escaped the iron fist of love from Uncle Mori. He jumped up again, pretending to be very innocent (Conan has big and cute eyes), and looked at Butler Aso with curiosity.

"Yes, yes, it's very strange. Uncle Aso, the housekeeper, why did you just watch your own lady, Sister Tani Jingzi, being kidnapped by bad guys?"

Butler Aso was already feeling uncomfortable being stared at, especially with Hua Lantian's gaze, which made him feel uneasy. Then, when he met Conan's sinful gaze (Conan is so naughty |°3°|), he felt even more guilty...

"Aso, could you please explain this? I only just realized something was wrong. I was so anxious before that I didn't even notice! Also, the criminal just called and asked me to suspend my company for a month and even asked for money. He asked me to prepare 300 million in used cash..."

The last straw that broke the camel's back finally appeared. President Tani noticed that something was wrong with Butler Aso and questioned him harshly.

"Money? Master, how is this possible? I didn't even mention asking for money when I discussed it with the young lady..." Butler Aso was very confused and blurted out the truth of the matter.

"What? Aso, what's going on?" President Tani asked excitedly, grabbing the collar of Aso's clothes.

"That's right, sir. The young lady originally asked me to help her plan a fake kidnapping. The young lady should be in a nearby hotel now. How could there be a 300 million yen thing?" Butler Aso explained truthfully.

Now, everyone's expression changed, because from the expression of Butler Aso, it was very likely that what he said was true.

At this moment, a maid came over with a phone and handed it to President Gu anxiously, "Master, Master, there's a call for you."

President Gu didn't want to answer at first and said, "Tell him I'm busy now and call him back later."

"Well, that's..." The maid still stood there holding the phone and stammered.

President Gu knew that it must be an important matter and it was very likely the real criminal calling, so he grabbed the phone and answered it anxiously.

"Hello? My last name is Gu.

"Have you prepared the 300 million yuan?"

Huh? Who are you?

"I just called and I'm the one who kidnapped your daughter."

what? !

'Dad, come and save me!'

Jingzi!

"I'm very impatient. If you don't prepare 300 million quickly, I don't know what will happen to your daughter."

(Let’s just say, this is quite a professional kidnapping.)

Please, I will prepare the money no matter what, so please let Jingzi come back safely..."

Maori Kogoro leaned over and whispered, "Let's continue to extend the conversation. Please try to find out the location of the criminal."

“Where is it located?

'Who's that person next to you? Could it be a police officer?'

No, he's not a policeman.

(But he’s a former police officer, lol~)

"Dad, it's the school warehouse! I can see a huge chimney from the window!"

(This is unprofessional. Why didn't you block the kidnapped person's mouth and let her talk nonsense? Although you blocked her mouth immediately, the detectives had already noticed it.)

Akiko…!

"I'll call you back in an hour, and by then, you'll have the money ready. You're such a chatterbox..."

"Since we can see the school warehouse with the big chimney, we can target a few specific schools. However, to buy time, I'd also like you to prepare some cash!"

Maori Kogoro said seriously, showing excellent professionalism. (I don't know if it's a detective or a criminal police officer, I'm so annoyed.)

President Tani listened to Kogoro Mouri flatteringly as he said, "Yes, I can do it."

Conan opened a map he had found somewhere and began to analyze it: the criminal would be nervous if his location was known. If he didn't rescue her quickly, the young lady might...

Ran noticed Conan's unusual behavior and asked, "What are you doing, Conan?" "It hasn't been long since the kidnapping. I think he should be somewhere nearby."

(No, big brother, if she asks you, just tell her the truth. Would a normal child think so much? And you just acted cute a few times... You have multiple personalities, right?)

This reminded Maori Kogoro, "By the way, it's impossible to run too far with a girl.

(I think this sentence is a bit problematic. It’s impossible to run too far with children, regardless of gender...)

If it’s nearby, and it’s limited to a school, then…”

"Conan, where are you going?" Just as Xiaolan was surprised, Conan climbed up and rode on the giant horse.

(Luckily it’s called this, otherwise it probably wouldn’t be able to take Conan to find Tani Jingzi)

Then a man and a dog rushed out. Maori Kogoro didn't hesitate and quickly chased after them, not forgetting to remind Xiaolan to keep up, "Xiaolan, go chase that dog!"

As a result, they all left Hua Lantian behind. Hua Lantian was speechless. Fortunately, he remembered the case of the kidnapping of the chairman's daughter from the beginning and knew that Tani Jingzi was kidnapped to Nibashi Middle School, so he greeted President Tani and ran to Nibashi Middle School in advance to wait for Dog Knight Conan to come.

The scene turns to the dog knight Conan, and Conan, riding on the dog, begins his reasoning again: Speaking of chimneys, they are either factories or bathhouses. There are five schools nearby where chimneys can be seen.

(This memory is amazing, I envy you. People’s memory gets worse as they get older, haha~)

After going around a few places, they found that it was not the right place. The man and the dog were exhausted and out of breath.

(I don't know why Conan is so tired, maybe it's because he was shaking. Could it be that he was carrying the dog while running? (-_^) It's the opposite of Tian Gang, hahahaha)

Our giant was drenched in sweat, practically collapsing. "There's no school with chimneys in sight anymore. Surely they're not around here?"

Conan thought so and began to doubt himself. He suddenly caught sight of a building over there that looked like a hotel building. "Wait a minute, could that be it?!"

After circling around and waiting for the faint warning light to disappear, the building that looked like a building from the front and a chimney from the side appeared before him.

"That's it. From the side, she mistook this building for a chimney!!" Conan read excitedly.

Then he started to reason: The school nearby that can be seen as a chimney is... Erqiao Middle School! !

On the other side, at Erqiao Middle School, Hua Lantian had found a spot and been waiting there for a while. He was very bored, but he was still making sure Gu Jingzi was safe.

Because the criminal in the original drama would kill someone, he was afraid that he would affect the original plot. The others died, so it was fine, but this was just a little girl.

Since Conan's kidnappings didn't result in fatalities, he didn't intervene much in the beginning and would wait and see how the situation developed. However, he was still waiting for the Dog Knight to complete the first case of the shrunken detective.

"The money is on the bench in Baijing Park!" "Once I get it, I will let your daughter go back!" "Let me hear Jingzi's voice again!"

"Listen to it later!" The kidnapper hung up the phone, looked at Gu Jingzi, and smiled strangely, "In other words, you are no longer useful~"

He held the sheath in his mouth, took out the knife with one hand, and with a flash of cold light, he was ready to end Gu Jingzi's life...

"Wait a moment!"

The kidnapper was so frightened that the sheath of the knife fell out of his mouth.

"Who is it, who is there?" He took a step forward, turned over, walked to the door of the warehouse, and looked outside through the gap, "Here!" He looked down and saw a primary school student and a dog.
