Conan's city hunter

Chapter 53 Interrogation
"I think if you expect your two accomplices to come back to save you, you might as well consider another question."

Gao Shan looked at the white robber curled up in pain, and said with great interest:
"If your accomplice comes back, do you still have value in existence?"

"There are three of you, but I only need one person to answer the question, so why should I choose you?"

"Maybe one of them is more aware of current affairs than you, and maybe he knows what situation he is facing, what do you think?"

After Gao Shan asked three consecutive questions, the white robber's face suddenly turned pale.

He had to admit that what Takasugi said was true, and this was very likely to happen.

If his two companions were also captured, their relationship would change from companionship to rivalry.

And... will the so-called partners really try their best to save themselves?

He felt more likely that they would have simply given up on themselves after finding that they could not be easily rescued.

Ask yourself, what would he do in such a situation, and what would happen to his partner if nothing else happened.

Bandits like them who gather for profit, how can they pay attention to the friendship of not abandoning or giving up.

When they are in danger, using their companions to block the gun is the truest portrayal of them.

It was also at this time that he realized that all the plans and assumptions in his mind were based on the premise that his companions could handle the young man in front of him.

But...it doesn't need the boy to be strong, as long as he is evenly matched, all his expectations will be completely shattered.

At the same time, the white robbers also know that once they say what the other party wants to know, death is likely to greet them.

Just by looking at the ruthlessness of the other party when he stepped on his arm without hesitation just now, he knew that this character in front of him was definitely not a soft-hearted character.

It would be good to concentrate on searching for the leader's trace, why should I take those private jobs.

If you didn't accept private work, you wouldn't have to encounter this kind of thing.

Even in his heart, he had faintly hated the companion who first proposed to accept private work, and felt that it was because of him that he suffered such torture.

But it never occurred to him that if they hadn't accepted private work, how could they be as chic as they are now in their predicament.

For his selfish thoughts, Gao Shan didn't know and didn't want to know, he just quietly waited for the other party's answer.

"If I tell you what you want to know, will you let me go?"

After a while, the white robber made up his mind and asked Gao Shan.

"I can promise to spare your life, this is already my greatest tolerance."

Takasugi didn't write any ink, and directly gave the answer he wanted.

Anyway, to spare his life, he just needs to live, but how to live is open to question.

The white robber was slightly silent when he heard the words, and he didn't know whether he had heard the metaphor in Gao Sugi's words or not.

But no matter what, he has no better choice now.

Compared to pinning his hopes on untrustworthy companions, he still prefers to believe in himself.

What's more, now he actually has no second choice.

Even if he was successfully rescued with his arms broken, he would become a drag for his companions, without any value.

For people like them, the result of losing value is being abandoned.

Even... In order to avoid leaking some secrets, his companions would choose to get rid of him directly.

"Ask, what do you want to know?"

After a moment of silence, the white robber squirmed and leaned halfway on the coffee table, looked at Gao Shan and asked.

He who has figured everything out now seems more calm now.

"Everything about Tatsuya Takasugi." Takasugi asked briefly.

"Takasugi Ryuya..." The white robber heard this, his eyes flashed with relief, and he said pointedly: "It seems that you are not him."

I am him and I am not him.

Gao Shan didn't answer his words, but thought silently in his heart.

The white robber didn't care about Takasugi's reaction, and began to tell everything he knew.

"Gao Shanlong was also the target of our entrustment not long ago. At that time, we planned to wait for him in an alley on his way home, but we didn't expect that before he came out, a guy jumped out of nowhere and took the first step. He was knocked out."

"But this also saves us trouble, so we went directly to take him away."

"There were three of you at the time, why did you only go down one at that time, it should be easier for two people to lift it?" Gao Shan suddenly asked a question when he heard this.

The white robbers didn't go into how Gao Shan knew the situation at that time, and replied frankly: "That's because we know that the guy who knocked him out was hiding aside, so in order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, only one person went in to take him with him." Go back to Takasugi Ryuya, and the other two are on guard in the dark."

Takasugi nodded lightly, that made sense.

"Then where did you take him?" he continued.

"In a warehouse on the outskirts of the city, that's the agreed pick-up location."

"What about the back?"

"After we handed Takasugi Tatsuya over to the employer to arrange a response, the other party entrusted us with a new task, which was to be responsible for disposing of Takasugi Ryuya's body."

"Then we waited at the door of the warehouse. About half an hour later, Takasugi Tatsuya's body was thrown in front of us."

"How did you dispose of the corpse?" Gao Shan stared at the other party closely when he asked this sentence.

This is a very crucial point, and it is also a point that he has been unable to figure out.

If the original body had already died, then his body should have been disposed of.

Then...how could he wake up in his own courtyard the next day?
"We didn't take it seriously at the time. On the way back, we randomly found an uninhabited forest and buried the body there."

At this time, the white robber's complexion has recovered a bit of blood. It is obvious that the nerve at the severed arm has entered a transient ischemic state, paralyzing his pain.

"Buried in the outskirts of the woods..."

Gao Shan thought about what the other party said, and the dust on his body when he woke up appeared in his mind.

Originally, he thought it was contaminated when he fell to the ground, but now it seems that it was because he was buried in the soil.

And at this moment, the white robber, who could no longer feel the pain in his arm, jumped up from the ground by leaning on the coffee table, raised his leg and kicked at Takasugi's hand holding the gun, trying to shoot the gun in his hand fall.

At this moment, he had no intention of countering, but he also knew that if he wanted to escape, he must first let Gao Shan lose the means of long-range attack.
