My neighbor's name is Conan

After thinking about it, Kogoro Mori changed the subject and asked, "Doctor Endo, did you hear Keita's voice when they first called you?"

"Yes." Dr. Endo nodded and said, "It was because I begged hard that they let Keita answer the phone."

Mouri Kogoro asked quickly after hearing the words: "Then how was Keita's situation at that time?"

"At that time, his voice was very cheerful, and he didn't feel any fear at all." Dr. Endo said with an incredulous expression.

Mori Kogoro was also surprised when he heard the words, "This is strange. Generally speaking, when kidnapped, children will cry and want their parents or something."

Dr. Endo said sadly: "Because his mother is gone, my wife died of illness last year, that's why Keita has always been very close to the teachers in the kindergarten or the neighbors and wives nearby."

"So that's it, I understand, maybe this kidnapper has another accomplice, and she is a woman who is used to taking care of children. It is very likely that this woman will take care of Keita." Mori Kogoro said.

Conan also agreed with this point of view. He held his chin and thought that maybe Uncle Maori was right about this.Having said that, although I can't feel at ease yet, at least the possibility of Keita being killed in their hands has been reduced. 】

Kogoro Mori crossed his arms and folded his arms in front of his chest, looked at Dr. Endo, who was a little depressed, and said, "Dr. Endo, to be honest, I should have contacted the police first."

Before Mori Kogoro finished speaking, he saw Dr. Endo propping up the table with both hands in a violent reaction, and said with a slightly ferocious face: "It is absolutely impossible to do this."

The other party's expression startled the three of them.

Dr. Endo then explained: "If the police intervene, it is indeed possible to catch the kidnappers, but, but there is no guarantee that Keita will be able to return safely."

"But..." Mori Kogoro hesitated, and it is best to call the police for this kind of thing.

Seeing this, Dr. Endo quickly put his face in front of Kogoro Mori, "Mr. Mori..."

"Hi!" Mori Kogoro replied subconsciously, and then seeing that the tip of the other's nose was about to poke his face, he said while tilting his head back, "Don't be so excited."

But it was about the life and death of his son, Dr. Endo couldn't keep calm, looked at Mouri Kogoro with pleading eyes, and begged: "I can only put my hope on you now, so please, please let me Keita came back safely, can you please help me with this? I thank you in advance." After speaking, he propped his hands on the table and kowtowed to Mori Kogoro.

Kogoro Mori didn't dare to accept such a big gift, so he quickly avoided it, and then began to think about the pros and cons of accepting this commission.

Kidnapping is not a trivial matter, especially when the kidnapped party is a child. In this case, it is very easy to be torn apart by the kidnappers.

It's not an exaggeration, it's the truth.

Human life is inherently fragile, and children's lives are even more fragile, and there is a gap in strength between them and the kidnappers, so it is easy to be torn apart.

After all, it would be more convenient to kill the hostages and bury them in the deep mountains and old forests than to release the hostages back, which might expose their own information and clues.

The current Kogoro Mori is not the Kogoro Mori when Shinichi Kudo was still around. At that time, as long as there was a commission, Kogoro Mori was not very picky.

But now that he is a detective and has become a person wearing shoes, he needs to consider the consequences of accepting some high-risk commissions, whether it will ruin his reputation.

But at this moment, Dr. Endo put all his hopes on Mori Kogoro, continued to maintain the posture just now, and said in a very earnest voice: "I beg you, Mr. Mori."

Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro felt the heart of an old father emerge in his heart. He let go of his hand, looked at Dr. Endo and said very carefully: "I understand. In fact, we are the ones who took the initiative to talk about this matter this time. I must I will try my best to resolve this issue satisfactorily."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Endo looked up happily at Kogoro Mori and said gratefully, "Thank you so much."

Even Mouri Kogoro accepted the idea, and Conan was naturally not to be outdone. When no one was paying attention to him, he secretly affixed the tool Dr. Agasa made for him - a sticker tracker - to Dr. Endo as a ransom. above the file package.

Mouri Kogoro accepted the offer, thought for a while and then said: "However, I'm afraid we can't stay here anymore. After we go back tonight, I think those kidnappers will definitely take the initiative to call you." connection."

"Yes."

Mori Kogoro took out Keita's photo from the photo frame, and said to Dr. Endo, "I'll borrow this photo first."

"Please go ahead." Dr. Endo naturally had no opinion.

Mori Kogoro comforted Dr. Endo a few more words, and assured him that he would do his best to investigate the matter.Conan also thought that he had attached the sticker tracker to the bag and was ready, just waiting for the kidnapper's call.

The three then bid farewell and left.

Originally, I left more than half of dinner, and stayed at Dr. Endo's for a while, and when the three of Maori took a taxi home, it was already very late, and most of the shops on the street were closed, only a few sporadic ones Still open.

After getting out of the taxi, the three of Mao Li were about to go upstairs and go home immediately, but they didn't expect to hear a voice before they stepped on the stairs.

"Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, Conan."

The three subconsciously turned their heads to see that it was Aokisong.

When Mouri Kogoro saw this, he didn't think much and said hello: "Did something happen somewhere else? You came back so late."

"No, I'm here to wait for you." Qing Musong shook his head and said.

"Wait for us?" Mori Kogoro and Mori Ranconan looked at each other, what does Aoki Song want from them?

Moreover, he was still in such a hurry that he had to wait here at night.

"What's wrong?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Aoki Song nodded, "Can you go up and talk?"

"Okay!" Mori Kogoro replied very simply.

He thought that Aoki Song was doing something that involved him, or that he wanted to ask him for something. Mouri Kogoro himself had a clear conscience, and he was not guilty at all when he met a criminal, so he answered very simply.

Instead of going to the third floor, the four went directly to the Maori Detective Agency on the second floor.

Mao Lilan was about to go to the tea room to pour water for Aokisong, but Aokisong quickly stopped her, "No need for Xiaolan, I'll just ask a question, and I won't be here for long."

"Boy, if you have any questions, just ask." Mori Kogoro said very frankly.

But Aoki Song's eyes did not fall on Kogoro Mori, but on Conan, "Conan, what are you doing sneakily in the self-operated restaurant of the Star Moon Hotel tonight?"

"Ah!" Conan didn't expect Aoki Song to ask him, and it was such a question, so he couldn't help but yelled.

Mori Kogoro and Mo Lilan were also surprised.

"Brother Qingmu, are you also in the restaurant of Xingyue Hotel tonight?" Mao Lilan asked in surprise.

Aoki Song nodded, "I was on a date with my girlfriend, and we were eating there. During this period, someone suddenly made a loud noise. As a result, when I turned my head, I saw Conan sneaking beside me."

Conan: "How can I be sneaky!"

Maori Kogoro & Maori Ran: “Girlfriend, date!

! ”

Obviously, the focus of the three people's attention is completely different.

Mao Lilan said with a look of surprise: "Brother Qingmu, you have a girlfriend, why haven't you heard what Grandpa Qingmu said?"

Although modern society is indifferent to people, there is a saying that "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors". If there is anything going on between neighbors who have been together for many years, especially gossipy things, some aunts can always know it at a speed that others cannot imagine. Clearly.

After Aoki Song entered the Metropolitan Police Department, he was a shining and wealthy son-in-law among the neighbors around him. There were many people who would match him with him, but they were all rejected because of their careers.

Unexpectedly, Qing Musong had already found a girlfriend without saying a word.

"We haven't been dating for a long time, and our relationship hasn't stabilized yet, so we haven't told our relatives and friends yet, but my family knows about it." Qing Musong didn't mean to hide it at all.

It's not that Xinming Xiangbaoli can't do it, on the contrary, he can do it very well. To be honest, if this matter can be said to be possible, judging from the current situation, Aoki Song is a bit of a new celebrity.

But when it comes to making a girlfriend, unless the relationship is stable and you are about to enter the stage of discussing marriage, it is best not to take the initiative to bring someone to meet your parents, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing after breaking up.

In addition, when it comes to the stage of discussing marriage, you must meet with both parents in advance, and it is best for both parties to live for a few days.

In this way, you can better understand the habits of the other party's parents, as well as your own parents' opinions. If the parents really have opinions and disagree with this marriage, then they should separate early, which is good for both parties and avoids endless quarrels after marriage.

Seeing that the topic was about to involve himself, Aoki Song quickly said: "It's normal for me to have a girlfriend, isn't it strange? It's strange that I don't have a girlfriend." Then he said: "I'm asking Conan now , why was he in the Xingyue Hotel restaurant at that time, hiding in the corner, looking like he was peeking at others."

"I..." Conan opened his mouth to answer, but after thinking of Dr. Endo's words, he swallowed the words and turned to Kogoro Mouri.

Mori Kogoro was also a little hesitant at this time, wondering if he should talk to Aoki Matsu.

"What's wrong? Could it be that there is something hidden here?" Seeing this, Qing Musong quickly asked: "Uncle Mao Li, if you encounter any troubles and need my help, you must tell me, don't be afraid of troubles to me."

Mori Kogoro's face changed when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he told Aoki Song about the kidnapping of Dr. Endo's son.

After all, Dr. Endo just didn't let Mori Kogoro call the police, but it was Aoki Matsu who came to ask him on his own initiative. He didn't call the police, so it was not considered a violation of the agreement between the two parties.

After hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Aoki Song's expression became a little more serious. After thinking for a while, he said, "Is it possible that an acquaintance is responsible? The other person is familiar with Keita's temperament and knows that Dr. Endo is rich." It is very likely that it was done by an acquaintance.

Mori Kogoro said: "I have guesses about this, but it's too late today, and I'm also worried that I might startle the snake, so I haven't had time to think about ruling it out."

Generally speaking, many kidnappings are carried out by acquaintances, or by people who the other party regards as your enemy.It's not that there are people who are kidnapped for no reason just because their family is wealthy, but the relative probability is smaller.

So when it comes to kidnapping, if the police come to handle it, the first two things to investigate are the first two.

Mouri Kogoro also handled this kind of case when he was still a criminal, so he still has relevant experience.

Aoki Song thought for a while and said, "Judging from what you said, Uncle Maori, it's a little confusing."

"Which point?" Mori Kogoro asked hastily.

"The other party wants Dr. Endo to exchange the ransom today!" Aoki Matsu said directly without making a fuss: "The kidnapper did not exchange the ransom with Dr. Endo on time this evening. In my opinion, there are two situations. There was an accident and there was no way to go.

The other is that the kidnappers had no intention of exchanging ransom with Dr. Endo at all, but took the opportunity to test him, whether he called the police, and see if there were any police officers near Dr. Endo.

Both scenarios are possible, but there is one big problem with either the former or the latter.Don't you find it strange, Uncle Maori?

The Xingyue Hotel is a high-end hotel. This kind of hotel will install cameras, even if they are not installed in the hotel, but the lobby and the entrance of the parking lot will definitely be installed. The kidnappers are not afraid of being photographed by the hotel's cameras. "

When entering the hotel, either from the parking lot or the hotel lobby, both places will be [-]% monitored.

Moreover, a place like a high-end hotel may indeed have the meaning of looking down on people with dog eyes, but if you dress a little differently and go in and out of this kind of place, it will be very noticeable.

For a criminal, a simple disguise, such as wearing sunglasses and hats, is completely unsafe.

Since this is the case, why did the kidnappers choose Xingyue Hotel?

Chapter 160 A Little Familiar

The fact that high-end hotels have surveillance is not nonsense from Aoki Song, but the fact.

After listening to Aoki Matsu's words, Mori Kogoro also agreed with Aoki Matsu's point of view, puzzled: "This is indeed a bit strange."

Conan also frowned at the side, what Aoki Song said was indeed suspicious.

I can't explain it clearly.

Both Mori Kogoro and Conan have encountered kidnapping cases, but generally speaking, when kidnappers ask people to pay ransom, they will choose some remote but convenient places to escape.

The location was chosen in a high-end hotel, and this was the first time I met her.

It’s weird.

"Uncle Maori, is there anyone in Dr. Endo who has any doubts about the person who kidnapped his son?" Aoki Song asked.

Mori Kogoro touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard the words, and said weakly, "I forgot to ask."

Aoki Song twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, his face was speechless.
