The kidnapping of the chairman’s daughter
When Lin Shu and Xiao Lan took Conan to say goodbye to Dr. A Li and walked out of Kudo’s house, the rain that was still falling didn’t know when it stopped.
After a rainstorm, the night sky looks extraordinarily clean, and the full moon on the horizon quietly appears in front of the world.
The three of them returned to the downstairs of the Maori Detective Office in such a dark night.
“Conan, I’ve already arrived. I’ll introduce you to my dad later. Be a little better. As long as he agrees, you can stay.”
Xiaolan bent down, lowered her head and instructed Conan carefully.
“Okay, Sister Xiaolan.” Conan nodded obediently, expressing his understanding. He kept complaining about the lascivious uncle who was about to meet.
“Brother Lin Shu, I’m really bothering you. Let’s go up and sit together. If you don’t dislike it, we’ll stay for dinner together later.”
Xiaolan looked at Lin Shu expectantly and showed an embarrassed smile. She was worried that she would not be able to persuade Kogoro Mouri by herself. In the name of thanking Lin Shu, she wanted to invite Lin Shu to go up with her to help herself persuade Kogoro Mouri.
Xiaolan simply wrote her own thoughts on her face, and Lin Shu could see it all at once.
Taking advantage of the situation, he agreed, thinking that he couldn’t let Conan stay so easily for a while. Without Conan, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro couldn’t be achieved, but he couldn’t let Conan use his identity as a child to take advantage of Xiaolan.
“Then thank you, Xiaolan. It just so happens that I also want to meet Detective Maori.”
After speaking, the three of them came to the office area on the second floor, and saw Kogoro Mouri weakly lying on the table.
Seeing Xiaolan finally coming back, Maori Kogoro raised his eyelids and said weakly, “Xiaolan is back, can we finally have dinner?”
Then he saw Lin Shu and Conan who came in behind Xiao Lan, and immediately sat up, “It’s Lin Shu boy, you’re here too. By the way, who is this kid?”
Xiaolan saw that Mouri Kogoro noticed Conan, and quickly explained Conan’s origin and the request to stay at the Mouri Detective Agency.
“What? No, absolutely not. Our family doesn’t have the money to support another kid of unknown origin.”
Mouri Kogoro jumped up immediately. The detective agency has been out of business recently, and now he has to raise another child. Naturally, Mouri Kogoro, who is financially tight, can’t agree.
“Dad, it’s very pitiful to have no parents to take care of. Besides, it’s just for a while.”
“His parents don’t care about him, why should I care?”
No matter how Xiao Lan persuaded him, Kogoro Mouri would not let go.
Xiaolan had no choice but to look at Lin Shu for help.
Before Lin Shu could speak, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Maori picked up the phone and put it in his ear. After listening for a while, he exclaimed, “A man in black kidnapped your daughter. I know. I’ll go to investigate immediately.”
Hearing the words “man in black”, Conan trembled, the pupils of his eyes narrowed slightly, and he lost his mind for a moment.
Fear was followed by anger. He stared at the phone with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see the man in black mentioned on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Maori Kogoro shouted excitedly, “Come, come, come, half a year, finally a job came to the door. A rich man’s daughter was kidnapped. It is said that the kidnapper was a man in black. ”
“Wait, uncle, I’m going too.” Driven by great curiosity, Conan finally couldn’t help speaking.
“Huh? Don’t disturb my work, kid.” Kogoro Mori gave him a weird look and chose to ignore him.
After Xiaolan’s previous request was rejected mercilessly, she was in a state of anger. After hearing Conan’s words, she answered.
“What’s wrong, I also want to see how Dad works.”
After speaking, he looked at Lin Shu who was watching the play, hoping that Brother Lin Shu could help him speak.
Seeing this, Lin Shu calmly said: “Detective Maori, I think what Xiaolan said makes sense. The other party called a private detective instead of choosing to call the police. He definitely didn’t want his actions to alarm the kidnappers, which would lead to the kidnappers’ impulse. Harm the hostages.”
“If we go together, we can reduce the suspicion of the kidnappers. In addition, if possible, I would also like to see the name reasoning of the Maori detective.”
“Hahahaha, okay, but Xiaolan, you have to take good care of this kid and don’t let him make trouble at the scene.” Kogoro Mouri heard Lin Shu’s praise, he laughed proudly, then looked at Conan, and said to Xiaolan instructed.
……
After the four went out, they stopped a taxi, and within 20 minutes, they arrived at the location of the client of the case.
Mouri Kogoro stepped forward and rang the doorbell, while Lin Shu and the others looked at the surrounding environment.
This is a Japanese-style building covering a wide area, surrounded by tall walls, and it is not easy to kidnap through the wall.
Shortly after the doorbell rang, a steward appeared on the conversation screen at the door.
After Mouri Kogoro expressed his intention to come, he opened the door to welcome everyone in, and brought Mouri Kogoro and others into the backyard.
backyard middle schoolA middle-aged man in a suit was waiting anxiously. It was the client of the case – Gu Kangsuke. When he saw the person brought by the housekeeper, he took out a photo of his daughter and told Kogoro Mouri the ins and outs of the incident.
Conan was so anxious that the case might have something to do with the man in black who attacked him. He was extremely eager to learn about the case.
However, due to height restrictions, he couldn’t even see the photo of the kidnapped.
Mouri Kogoro was concentrating on talking with Gu Kangsuke, and his right hand holding the photo fell naturally. Finally, Conan found the opportunity to take the photo in his hand and watch it carefully.
“Conan, when you look so carefully, do you think the sister in the photo is pretty? She’s about the same age as you.” Lin Shu, who was on the side, saw this scene and couldn’t help but tease.
Conan was shocked and realized that he was only a child now, so he quickly remedied in a childish tone: “Yes, Brother Lin Shu, the elder sister in the photo is really cute.”
Lin Shu trembled all over, but he didn’t make fun of him as Conan, but Conan’s “Brother Lin Shu” made him too tired.
When he thought of a seventeen-year-old high school student playing cute to himself and shouting “Brother Lin Shu” in a hoarse voice, Lin Shu’s heart was overturned.
Resisting the discomfort, he looked at Butler Aso and asked, “I’m the assistant of Detective Maori. Can Butler Aso tell me what the situation was like when the kidnapping happened?”
Although Lin Shu still remembers what happened in the case, he can’t just say it out of thin air. He has to form a basically complete logical chain through the narratives of others.
After hearing this, Aso Butler hesitantly looked at Gu Kangsuke for advice.
Mouri Kogoro, who was thinking on the side, and Gu Kangsuke, who was waiting anxiously on the opposite side, both attracted their attention.
After seeing Lin Shu’s affirmative look, Kogoro Mouri quickly nodded and acknowledged Lin Shu’s words out of trust.
Gu Kangsuke doesn’t have any opinion on this either, he just hopes that someone can help him at the moment.
