Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 70 If you do bad things, you have to find someone to take the blame for.
Cupido Town, an unknown street.

Inside the Porsche parked on the street, Gin had a laptop on his lap.

What was shown above was a scene on the second floor of an abandoned warehouse. A young man in school uniform was tied to a chair, his chest rising and falling weakly.

He suffered no other physical injuries other than a knife strike from Tequila during his abduction.But after being tied up like this for a whole day, the mental torture still left him on the verge of death.

The picture was very clear, clearly showing the boy's pale and weak face.

Vodka sat next to Gin. Since he was not driving at this time, he also glanced at the screen with the same cold and sarcastic smile on his face.

Not only are they watching this picture, this image will also be transmitted to Representative Kawajiri in prison.

This is one of the organization's modus operandi.

When faced with people who are restless but of some use and cannot be killed immediately, the organization will kill their relatives as a warning.

Vodka looked at the bomb at the foot of the chair. There was a countdown on it. As soon as the time came, the unlucky hostage and the entire warehouse would be blown to pieces.

"That guy just waits half an hour to see his son shattered to pieces."

Gin was robbed of what he was going to say by vodka. He didn't get angry and just took out a cigarette.

Just as he was about to get the cigarette lighter, he suddenly heard movement from another place in his earphones.

——"It's a ransom. Their child has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers demand a ransom of 10 billion yen!"

——"Have you verified their identity? ... As long as there is no problem, you go out first, try to appease the customer's emotions, and tell them that the money will be ready soon!"

Through the bug installed in the office, Gin heard an event that was taking place inside Teito Bank.

"...Hmph, it's a shame she came up with such a way."

Gin quickly understood. He laughed softly, continued to take out the cigarette lighter, and lit his cigarette.

……

There are often tasks in organizations that may not seem difficult but are actually very troublesome.

The bank will transport cash to the head office within a few days. At the same time, the vault is equipped with cameras that operate 24 hours a day without blind spots. There are only two ways to withdraw a large amount of cash from it in a short period of time without alerting anyone.

First, the surveillance images were changed and the money was secretly taken away; second, a customer came to withdraw so much money and handed it over to the other party.

The first method is not safe. After the person hid the counterfeit money, he transferred a new president from Mihua. The new president had been robbed three times before. After arriving here, he strictly improved the security measures and always acted like a victim of paranoia. Staring at the surveillance camera makes it easy to see through.

The second method also has problems. Even if the banknote verification function of the banknote counter can be destroyed in advance and the money passes the first stage of circulation, customers will still find that they are fake when they go back, and then go to the bank.

Originally, Gin wanted to find someone in the organization who had deposited money in the Imperial Bank and asked them to withdraw the money - for this reason, he also told the idiot to tamper with the money counting machine - but the amount involved was too high, and the organization's style might not make up for it. The other party is definitely not willing.

It is not enough to find a few more people to take over and reduce personal losses. Regardless of whether the organization's tasks are important or not, they cannot be spread to too many people.

Unexpectedly, Qingliu Binguang came with a second upgraded version.

——Let the family members of the members punished by the organization take out the money in the form of ransom.

……

Gin and Aoyagi Binguang have always had different ways of handling tasks.

Gin is more cautious and prudent, completing tasks one by one and designing several plans for one goal. He is not afraid of wasting time and energy at all;

Aoyagi Binguang is different. If he can achieve two goals at the same time with one thing, he is not willing to do the second one.He often looks for unrelated tasks and strings them together to complete them.

This is very efficient, but the risks are also high.

For example, this time, Gin did not arrange for someone to rob the bank and take away the counterfeit money in the bank, because he did not want to attract the attention of the police.

It turned out that Aoyagi Binguang was lucky. He not only attracted the police, but even asked the police to propose the money.

Gin was smoking a cigarette and began to think about whether there were any obvious loopholes in this operation.

Every second counts in a kidnapping case, and family members are even more eager to confirm whether the amount is accurate, and the money must be handed over immediately. They will not check the authenticity one by one.

The only trouble is that in many kidnapping cases, the police will take pictures of the banknote numbers so that they can trace the money after the kidnappers take it away.

However, that is only if you have more time.

——Because of the concealment of the family members, there is now less than half an hour left before the stipulated time. It would take that much time to drive from the bank to the transaction location at the fastest speed.

Just as Gin was thinking, Vodka next to him suddenly spoke: "Brother, why did Anicet choose to kidnap his eldest son? It would be more of a deterrent to kill the younger one, right?"

Gin chuckled at this question. "It's just her habit."

"No matter what bad things she does, she likes to pour more dirty water on others and let them take the blame for her."

He is so used to it, this is Aoyagi Binguang's style.

——Also, the style of the organization.

----

At [-] o'clock at noon, near a factory boathouse.

It was a deserted industrial land, and Mrs. Kawajiri got off somewhere.

She held the car door and looked left and right. After making sure that no suspicious person could be seen for the time being, she went to the trunk, took out two large bags of money, and entered the boathouse cautiously.

This abandoned boathouse was built on the waterside, with a total height of two floors. A motorboat floated on the river inside the boathouse. The exit door was wide open, and the outside was connected to the Tsumutsu River.

The kidnapper's demand was to leave the money next to the motorboat.

The police believed that the other party planned to escape on a motorboat immediately after getting the money, and arranged a search and rescue boat on the Tsumutsu River. There were also many police officers disguised as ordinary tourists on standby on the river bank.

Mrs. Kawajiri's hands began to shake. She knew what this meant - the kidnappers might also be in the boathouse at this time.

She had the stairs leading to the second floor right next to her. She didn't dare to look upward at all, nor did she dare to listen carefully to the faint sounds coming from above.

Why do you do this?

Why should I take such a big risk for a loser?

Mrs. Kawajiri's eyes gradually turned red, and her hands were shaking.

She looked down and saw the local wireless communicator pinned to her collar, disguised as a brooch.

This was what the police told her to put on before she got into the car.

……

"Why should I wear this?!"

"The kidnappers ask you to drive there alone, and our cars will take turns to follow behind. During this period, the kidnappers may call again, and this device can transmit the content of the call back together with the kidnappers' voices."

The police officer leading the team advised: "It also has a positioning function. The police can keep track of your whereabouts at any time to ensure your safety."

……

...Her safety?
Mrs. Kawajiri gritted her teeth and shed tears.

Well said!
This thing can locate and eavesdrop, so they are obviously suspicious of her!

It is suspected that she directed and staged the kidnapping and wanted to kill her stepson!

Fear, anger, and grievance all came together to fill his heart, but in that grievance, there was a hint of guilt.

Because in the past, she had really tried to find a killer, once before and once after her husband went in. She wanted to get rid of the dragster who took more property.

One was Yinhu and the other was named Songshan. She had contacted them separately using their private email addresses.

But she didn't succeed. She hesitated for a long time and didn't have the courage to actually place the order. She also cleared all her emails afterwards. The police... shouldn't find out, right?

The more Mrs. Kawajiri thought about it, the more confused she became. She threw the ransom money next to the motorboat in a panic. She didn't dare to stay too long and ran out without looking back.

Her cell phone was buzzing in the car, but she didn't answer it immediately. She didn't press the answer button until she drove some distance away.

"I have already put the money..."

Before she finished speaking, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from behind her.

"boom--!!!"

The loud sound hit the eardrums, and Mrs. Kawajiri subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

She trembled all over, an even greater fear clenching her heart.She seemed to realize something in the dark, her body was trembling, and she looked in the direction of the explosion.

——The boathouse was in flames.
