Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 223 Rescue Plan
Then, Ishino explained his adjusted new plan to the two of them in detail. After confirming that this was a plan that could perfectly cooperate with the rescue operation, Belmode and Hiroki both approved the change in the plan and began to work on it. Rehearse in your mind the tasks you each need to perform.

During this period, he considered whether to inform Conan about this incident, who didn't know where to meet his parents, but when he thought about the other party's death physique, if he was involved, an action that might not have been dangerous in the first place might have happened. There are twists and turns, so just pretend he doesn’t exist.

As for whether Conan would complain about not telling him such an important thing afterwards, Ishino would not be worried about this. After all, this guy sneaked out by himself. Logically speaking, he should be sleeping in the room at the moment. Isn't it natural for a child not to tell him such a dangerous action?

Grace was not allowed to wait alone in the room for too long. After discussing the new round of plans with Hiroki, Ishino and Bellmore returned to the previous room. Within a few minutes, Natsumi hurriedly took Kosaki and He returned to the hotel with Qinglan, who had been by his side.

"Dad, did the kidnappers call and ask for ransom?!" Kosaki asked Ishino impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

After all, in her opinion, Xiao Ai and the others were kidnapped by a group of completely unknown men in black. The most likely reason is that the other party may have recognized the identities of Ishino and Natsumi and wanted to kidnap Xiao Ai to ask for ransom. If so, then The girl is at least safe for now.

But if the other party's purpose is not for ransom, then it would be quite bad for Xiaosaki to think of another possibility, because she has to suspect that those men in black are members of the organization in the United States, and they may already know Xiao Ai's identity. Because of her true identity, she was taken away by force.

But when she finished her sentence and suddenly saw Belmode standing up from the sofa in the room, and the little girl wearing her own clothes next to her, she froze in place.

"Xiao Ai!!" Before Natsumi, who was also stunned at the door, could ask, Xiao Saki rushed to Grace and hugged her, almost crying, "Xiao Ai, how did you escape? ? But I’m worried to death!”

Grace, who was startled by the other party's sudden movement, tried her best to break away from the hug, but found that the other party's strength was amazing, so she had to quickly explain: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm not Xiao Ai, can you go first?" Let me go, I'm a little out of breath..."

Xiaosaki, who was so concerned, had not noticed the strangeness in the girl because she was too excited before, but when she hugged her, she suddenly felt a sense of disobedience. It seemed that Xiaoai had grown taller, but her body had become thinner. , the strength is also pitiful.

At this time, when he heard the other party's cowardly tone that was completely different from his sister's, he immediately understood the source of the sense of disobedience. He immediately loosened his hands holding the other party tightly and looked at the little girl who appeared in his room with a look of disbelief. Ai but not Xiao Ai's girl, apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry for hurting you, but who are you if you're not Xiao Ai, and why are you here?"

Seeing that Grace looked like she was about to cry and didn't know where to start, Natsumi glanced at Belmode who was accompanying her, walked quickly to the little girl, knelt down and comforted her: "Little girl, Sister, don’t be anxious, slowly say it’s okay, tell Auntie what your name is, was it Auntie Chris who brought you here?”

Seeing the beautiful aunt in front of her who was not inferior to Chris looking at her with loving eyes, Grace gradually calmed down her nervousness and replied with some embarrassment: "My name is Grace Aihara, and I am following Chris. Aunt Si is here..." After hearing the other party's answer, Natsumi stood up and asked Belmode at the side: "Sister Chris, who is this little girl? Is it because little Aizhi was kidnapped? What does this matter have to do with her?"

"Yes, the kidnapping of Xiao Ai and the others is indeed related to Grace. I'll keep it short..." Faced with the looks from Natsumi and Kosaki, Belmore explained what happened after he returned home and met Grace. The situation was briefly explained.

"As for the place where Xiao Ai and the others might have been kidnapped, Grace has already pointed it out on the map for us, so we don't have any clues." After telling what happened to Grace, Bellmode continued to explain what happened so far. The information obtained was supplemented.

"So that's what happened. The gangsters mistook Xiao Ai for Grace..." After hearing Belmode's explanation, Natsumi said with a solemn expression of worry, "What if the other party knows that they have arrested the wrong person?" , will you do something like tearing up the vote in anger?"

"It is unlikely that the other party will do this." Seeing the worried look on Natsumi's face, Ishino explained in a calm tone, "It is not difficult to see from the other party's previous actions that their purpose should be to capture Grace alive and force her to She continued to work for them.”

"Considering that Xiao Ai and the others are all foreigners, if the mafia finds out that they have arrested the wrong person, in order not to escalate the matter to an international major case and affect their normal activities, the most likely possibility is to quietly arrest them. They were blindfolded and transported to an inaccessible wilderness and left alone."

"Unless Xiaoai and the others know something they shouldn't know, which gives them a sense of crisis, there is absolutely no need to take huge risks and kill a few foreign tourists with whom they have little interaction." Ishino said in a determined tone. concluded.

After listening to Ishino Ichidou's calm analysis, Natsumi finally felt at ease, but still asked with a serious face: "Even so, we can't just wait. Is there any way to take the initiative to rescue the children? "

"Concerning this consideration, Ishino-kun and I have discussed a plan before you come back. As long as Xiaoai and the others are indeed at the jewelry processing factory where Grace escaped, then we should be able to successfully rescue the kidnapped people. Xiaoai, Xiaolan, Qingzi and Yangzi."

Bellmode signaled Natsumi not to worry, and explained the previously discussed plan to everyone: "The captain of the New York Police Department, Radix Revue, is a friend of my mother's. I will ask him to help lead a small team there. Ishino-kun will go to the store nearby under the pretext of investigating other cases, and then Ishino-kun will take advantage of the other party to focus on the police at the front door and sneak in through the passage where Grace escaped to rescue the children."
