Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 282 The Paw Paw Team has made great achievements! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"hateful!"

Hearing the beep from the other end of the phone, President Gu couldn't help but feel angry.

It's a pity that the kidnapper on the other side has hung up the phone. No matter how angry he is, it won't help at all.

After all, now, he doesn't even know the location of the other party, let alone give him a good beating and vent his anger on his poor daughter who was kidnapped by him.

Under this situation, no matter how much anger he felt toward a certain kidnapper, he could only remain in powerless rage.

While he was incompetent and furious, his heart was also filled with worries about his daughter.

After all, before the kidnapper hung up the phone, his daughter tried to tell them her location.

No matter what he thought, he didn't think that the kidnapper would continue to be friendly to his daughter Tani Akiko for doing such a thing.

Thinking of this, President Gu looked at a loss, "What...what should I do?"

In the business world, President Gu may be very powerful as a president, but after encountering a kidnapping for the first time, and the kidnapped person was his most beloved baby daughter, he now feels faintly confused. .

And now Gu Jingzi is in such a crisis.

Taking the map casually, Bai Ye carefully looked at every eligible school on the map.

Originally, Tani Akiko's situation was not so dangerous, but during the phone call, Mouri Kogoro's words attracted the attention of the kidnappers. In addition, Tani Akiko also revealed clues to her hiding place.

Thinking like this, he responded quickly and hurried to get the map.

"Yes, sir."

Because he knew very well that if Bai Ye hadn't said anything for him, his master would probably have chosen to send him directly to the police station instead of asking him to plead guilty and meritorious service like he did now.

Soon, Butler Aso brought over a nearby map.

Looking up at the thoughtful Mouri Kogoro, Byakuya looked at President Tani beside him, "Also, the hiding place of Miss Tani Akiko has been leaked, and the kidnappers may have run out of patience, so, We must find Miss Akiko as soon as possible."

President Gu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then looked at his butler.

——The reason why President Gu asked Butler Aso, the former "kidnapper", to get maps for him and others was because maps and other tools were usually sorted out by the butler Aso, and only The other party can find the map they want as quickly as possible.

"There is a school with a big chimney nearby. Let's find it based on this clue first."

Secondly, although he didn't know why Butler Aso chose to kidnap his daughter, he now saw that the other party did not actually intend to harm his precious daughter.

After hearing President Gu's words, Butler Aso glanced at Bai Ye gratefully.

"Butler, go get some maps."

Because Byakuya had just spoken for Butler Aso, President Tani decided to trust Butler Aso for the time being.

It was precisely because he was aware of this that after much thought, he decided not to care about the other party's previous actions for the time being, and to wait until he rescued his daughter Gu Jingzi from the vicious kidnapper before talking about other things.

On the contrary, the other party, like him, cares about his daughter Tani Akiko.

Otherwise, the angry kidnapper may cause harm to him.

It is true that revealing clues about his hiding place will allow De Baiye and others to quickly determine his location and rescue him from the kidnapper who kidnapped him, but such an operation will undoubtedly also give him Brings own danger.

When he said this, Bai Ye paused and said, "President Gu, do you have a map at home?"

"Uncle Maori, call the police and ask Officer Megure to bring plainclothes officers from the First Search Section to help. Remember, don't sound the siren on the road, lest the kidnappers notice it and put Miss Akiko in danger!"

As for President Tani, Kogoro Mouri and others, each of them had a map and stood beside Bai Ye, collecting relevant clues from the map with him.

Only Conan, a kid, couldn't get the map because of his height and status.

However, although he was very curious in his heart, as an "opponent", Conan also knew that Bai Ye's reasoning ability was very powerful. If he behaved too maturely or exposed too many things at the crime scene, it would easily cause The other party's suspicion and vigilance.

Therefore, although he really hoped that he could take a look at the map and collect some relevant information, he did not act too impatient.

Even though, his heart was actually filled with anxiety and longing.

Fortunately, Mouri Kogoro couldn't find any useful clues, or God heard his prayer. After looking at the map for a while, Mouri Kogoro put his hand down again, and then the map was just right. fell into Conan's sight.

Staring at the "falling from the sky" map in surprise, Conan looked at the distribution on it seriously, and then frowned suddenly, "The prisoner will be nervous because the location is known. If we don't rescue him quickly, the lady may..."

Although he didn't want to think that the person was that bad, Conan knew better that a guy who could even kidnap a child had a low moral bottom line and could imagine how brutal and terrifying his actions would be.

And once the other party becomes angry because of Gu Jingzi's "revealing the location", the consequences will be so terrible that he really can't imagine it.

He was very worried that if he and others found Gu Jingzi too late, they might have to face the other party's body.

At this time, Mao Lilan discovered that a certain little guy was also peeping at the map, and couldn't help but blinked curiously.

"Conan? What are you doing?"

If she read it correctly, the child of his childhood sweetheart and a distant relative was imitating her boyfriend, her father, and the person involved in the kidnapping case, President Gu, to collect clues from the map, right?

However, a child of only six years old, let alone imitating adults in collecting clues to solve the case, might not even be able to recognize all the names on the map, right?

Conan replied subconsciously without raising his head: "Not much time has passed since the kidnapping! I think it's somewhere nearby, right?"

Judging from the time of the kidnapping, the kidnapper definitely couldn't have gone too far with Tani Akiko.

In addition, Tani Akiko just said that she was in the school's warehouse, and she could see a huge chimney outside from the window. Therefore, the scope and target of their required search were narrowed a lot.

Hearing this, before Mao Lilan said anything, Mao Li Kogoro on the side looked back at the outside of the courtyard, and then said thoughtfully: "By the way, you can't run too far with a girl! If you are in If it’s nearby! And it must be limited to schools! Then..."

"Conan, where are you going?"

Just when Mouri Kogoro was lost in thought, Conan, who felt that he already knew where the kidnapper was hiding, took out the Big Mac and sat directly on it. Maori Lan was surprised and wanted to stop him. , but unfortunately, Conan has already run away on Big Mac.

"When it comes to chimneys, the first thing that comes to mind is either a factory or a bathhouse. There are five schools with chimneys visible nearby."

Riding on Big Mac, Conan's eyes sparkled with excitement and fighting spirit! "As long as we search one by one, we will definitely find Gu Jingzi!"

Bai Ye, this time, it seems that I am in the lead!

……

Bai Ye raised his eyes and glanced at the retreating figure of a child riding a dog, and Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

He remembered that in the original book, Conan searched the schools one by one, but unfortunately found nothing. In the end, he accidentally saw the building nearby, and then realized that what Gu Jingzi saw was probably not a chimney, but a chimney. It's a tall building.

With this thought in mind, Bai Ye, who had been looking at the map for a while, decisively took out his pen and drew a circle on the map near a school with a huge chimney.

Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro and others who were about to chase Conan couldn't help but stop.

As smart as they were, how could they not understand Bai Ye's meaning? The other party clearly wanted to find suspicious places first, and then eliminate those places that were not likely to commit crimes based on distance and other clues.

However, the other party clearly didn't make any move before, so why does it happen now?
Could it be that the other party already has a clue?
As they watched, Bai Ye quickly made new moves. In addition to drawing circles on schools with huge chimneys nearby, he also drew circles on some schools without huge chimneys.

"Bai Ye, there aren't huge chimneys near these schools, why are they drawn?"

Mouri Kogoro looked at the map and really didn't understand his operation.

In fact, not only did he not understand, but even President Gu and Mao Lilan were a little confused and puzzled as to why Bai Ye was so good at drawing those schools without chimneys.

"Uncle Maori, although there are no huge chimneys near these schools, there are tall buildings near these schools!"

“At night, if you look at a tall building from a distance and from the side, it’s easy to mistake it for a giant chimney!”

"Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that what Gu Jingzi saw was not a chimney, but a tall building seen from the side."

Byakuya explained to Mouri Kogoro and others while drawing circles on the map.

As a time traveler who has read the plot of the original work, he knows that the place where Gu Jingzi was kidnapped is not at all a school with a huge chimney nearby.

Therefore, in order to save time and trouble, he simply informed Kogoro Mori of this in advance.

After all, it was late at night, and he didn't want to go back to school after school like in the original work.

Not to mention the delay, it is easy for things to change.

For example, over time, the kidnapper would easily have negative thoughts about Tani Akiko.

"Tall building?"

"Well...if you think about it carefully, when you look at a tall building from the side at night, it is indeed easy to think of it as a huge chimney. Why didn't I think of that just now?"

After listening to Byakuya's explanation, Mouri Kogoro patted his head and suddenly realized.

Bai Ye could think of something that he hadn't thought of at once?
Could it be that the other party, his former apprentice, is now even better at reasoning than him?

No, this is impossible, he is the dignified private detective Mouri Kogoro.

How could Bai Ye, a mere junior in the detective world, be more powerful than his current senior!

Therefore, it was just that he was too worried about the safety of Tani Akiko, a rich lady, and did not think of it for a while.

Thinking of this, Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt a lot better.

Looking at President Gu and Butler Aso on the side, Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and nodded in agreement.

Her boyfriend is right, this is indeed a possibility!

No, it should be said that this possibility is extremely high.

However, many people simply can't think of it.

Thinking like this, while silently thinking about which school the kidnapper would choose as a hiding place, Mao Lilan's heart was also filled with pride and admiration for her boyfriend.

After all, there were so many people present, but only her boyfriend could judge so quickly that the kidnapper's hiding place was probably not just a school with a huge chimney nearby.

Quickly, Bai Ye drew all the suspicious schools and ranked them according to the level of suspicion.

"President Gu, I will go with Xiaolan and the others to rescue Miss Gu Akiko now, but in order to gain time and to be on the safe side, please prepare the 300 million in cash!"

Bai Ye put away his pen and looked at President Gu.

"Don't worry, Aozaki-kun, I'll get ready right now."

President Gu quickly agreed.

After all, it was about his most precious daughter. Not to mention that the kidnapper only wanted 300 million yen. Even if it was too much, he would prepare it honestly for the safety of his daughter.

After arranging President Gu, Bai Ye turned his attention to Mao Lilan aside, "Xiaolan... you come with me!"

Although his little girlfriend is very capable in fighting, no boyfriend is willing to take risks with his girlfriend.

Naturally, he is no exception.

"Yeah!" Mao Lilan nodded heavily.

Mouri Kogoro frowned slightly, "Byakuya, I'm with you too."

Although he knew that his daughter was very powerful, otherwise she would not have been able to stand out in the empty-handed competition and become the champion of the Kanto competition. But this time, after all, she was facing a vicious kidnapper instead of a contestant on the field. Therefore, he really Somewhat worried.

Bai Ye slightly raised his eyebrows, wondering why he didn't know Maori Kogoro's worries, "Uncle Maori, as long as I'm here, you can rest assured about Xiaolan's safety!"

"Also, although I have eliminated many low-suspect locations, after all, there are still many places to explore. If a few of us get together and search one by one, then I'm afraid..."
