Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

However, it was expected that Natsukawa would not run far. According to Conan's own guess, Natsukawa should just come down to check on Takahashi Ryoichi's condition.

"I remember, it should be here."

Looking at the empty corridor in front of him, Conan felt a little uncertain. If there weren't two chairs there, he would have thought he had walked into the wrong corridor.

Conan slowly approached with doubt, but before he reached the door of the small dark room, his expression suddenly changed when he found the open window.

"What about people?"

Natsukawa was not there, and even Hiroki Kadoya and Masaru Ota, who were supposed to be here to guard Takahashi Ryoichi, were not there.

This scene gave him a bad feeling.

The situation of Takeshi Ryūmoto and Yoko Asanuma seemed to come alive before his eyes. Could it be that the same thing was happening for the third time?

"I hope not..."

He hurried to the small dark room, and just as he had guessed, the door was wide open.

I used the flashlight from my watch to shine inside, but I couldn't see a single living creature, let alone Takahashi Ryoichi.

"window--"

Conan was startled and immediately ran to the window, propped himself up with his hands and jumped onto the windowsill.

"Mr. Ota?"

I thought I would see the footprints left by Takahashi Ryoichi when he escaped, but unexpectedly, I saw Ota Masaru eating shit.

Outside the window, Ota Katsu was lying in a puddle of mud like a dead pig.

Fortunately, the angle of his fall was quite tricky, with his face facing sideways, and he did not fall into the puddle.

"Mr. Ota, are you okay?" Conan shook him hard to wake him up.

Ota Katsu only felt a dull pain in the back of his head, accompanied by a bit of dizziness. When he opened his eyes and found it was Conan, he was still a little confused.

"Conan?"

"Mr. Ota, where's Takahashi? And Hiroki Kadoya, Uncle Natsukawa is missing too..."

"what......"

Ota Katsu was completely unable to sort out his thoughts. He shook his head for a long time before he regained his memory before he fainted and told Conan about the situation.

"You mean, someone knocked you out when you opened the window?"

After listening to Ota Masaru's explanation, Conan frowned, feeling that the problem was a bit serious.

Ota didn't see Natsukawa, so Hiroki Kakutani was the only one with him at that time.

If this is the case, then one can imagine why Ota fainted.

But why did Hiroki Kadoya save Takahashi?

This guy is clearly Chikako Ikeda's licker. Even if he has feelings for Takahashi, he should be thinking about helping Chikako Ikeda take revenge on Takahashi. Why would he open the door for the other party...

"No, maybe I'm wrong. In fact, Takahashi and Kadoya have always been in cahoots!"

As for why Natsukawa was not there, it was most likely that he happened to see Hiroki Kadotani and Ryoichi Takahashi running away and chased them out.

After confirming that Ota was okay, Conan immediately walked around the villa and finally found muddy footprints at the back door.

"really!"

However, judging from the footprints, there should be two people!

"Why two?"

Conan pondered for a long time, looked back at the villa, and finally gritted his teeth and followed the footsteps.

"Hey! Conan, where are you going?"

Ota Katsu shouted hurriedly.

It's too dangerous for a child to go into the forest so late.

He had just seen that the door of the small dark room where Takahashi was was wide open. It was obvious that he had escaped. He couldn't go down the mountain at this time. The other party must still be wandering around the villa. If the little brat went out at this time, it would be no different from sending a hostage.

"I'm going to find Uncle Xiachuan. By the way, hurry up and get Sister Xiaolan and the others up. Takahashi Ryoichi may still be in the villa, so be careful!"

"Takahashi... is he still in the villa?"

After chewing on these words and looking back at the villa, Ota Katsu, who had been quite bold, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

The forest road was muddy due to the heavy rain, and the footprints were very obvious. Conan followed the footprints and quickly ran more than a hundred meters out of the villa.

Soon, he discovered a faint light ahead.

Out of caution, he turned off his watch light.

Slowly approached, wanting to check the situation.

Before he took a few steps, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing from behind him, and a big hand stretched out from the darkness behind him and covered his mouth.

"Don't make a sound, it's me."

Natsukawa carried Conan behind a tree and then let go.

"Uncle Xiachuan, what is that bright place doing?"

Conan was sweating profusely from the sudden shock and felt like he was going to catch a cold again.

"Hiroki Kadaya seems to have some incredible hidden identity."

Natsukawa stared at the light ahead. There was not only Kakutani there, but also others.

"Hide your identity?"

Conan rubbed his chin, remembering that when he was at the Genbei B&B before, Joel seemed to have mentioned that the Suzuki Group had become famous in the circle of wealthy people because of paying a ransom for a dog, and it seemed that many lawless elements had already set their sights on this local tycoon family.

Could it be that this group of people in front are trying to cause some trouble?

This time it’s not a dog, but the eldest and second daughters of the Suzuki family, who can get more ransom.

"I'm afraid that's right!"

Xia Chuan naturally knew what Conan was thinking, and immediately said: "Wait a minute, you go up to attract their attention, and I'll attack by surprise. There are only three of them, so it won't be a big problem."

Conan: ...

This is a big problem, okay!

He blinked his big, adorable eyes: "Uncle Xia Chuan, I'm just a kid, isn't this too dangerous? What if they have guns? I might be killed if they shoot me.

Even if there is no gun, it is still not safe.”

Xia Chuan, you trust him too much.

He doesn't want such trust.

Although he is a child, Hiroki Kadoya might let down his guard, but the other party is now a kidnapper!

"Don't worry, all you have to do is make some noise and then hide behind the tree."

Xiachuan patted Conan's shoulder hard, with an expression that said, "I trust you very much, don't let me down."

Then he took out a baton from his inner pocket. The black baton had a matte texture. He swung it hard, and the 20-centimeter baton instantly stretched to four sections.

"No, Uncle Xia Chuan, do you usually carry this when you go out? Isn't it a bit too much..."

Xia Chuan curled the corner of his mouth. How dare this little brat talk about others? His watch and sneakers are even more incongruous. If it weren't for the protection of scientific rules, at least ten criminals would have been kicked to death by him with his sneakers.

And Kogoro Mouri, his neck is probably broken.

How can a normal person receive an injection of anesthesia every day?

"Boys, when you're outside, you have to protect yourself."

Xia Chuan showed his white teeth, jumped up from where he was, jumped onto the treetop, turned around and made a gesture to show him that he was watching, and slowly approached the light along the tree canopy.

Conan stretched out his hand to stop him, but he held the words back and finally agreed to Xiachuan's proposal.

There was no way to refuse. Xia Chuan had already climbed over several trees and was no more than twenty meters away from the kidnapper.

Besides, Xiaolan is still here.

We must not let this group of people take action, otherwise Xiaolan will be in danger!

His childhood sweetheart gave him courage, and he showed the sense of responsibility of a 17-year-old high school detective. He instantly became full of energy and had an idea of ​​how to catch the kidnapper.

"Brother, they are all sleeping now, this is the best time to take action.

When I sent Suzuki Ayako back home just now, I secretly stuffed some knockout drugs into the crack of her room door. I guess the sisters were sleeping soundly at this time.

In addition, I also released Takahashi Ryoichi, who pretended to be the bandaged man. This should be able to confuse people and maybe even pin the crime of kidnapping on him."

Hiroki Kadoya's career journey after graduation was not ideal. There were too many photographers in Japan, and excellent photographers might have no difficulty finding jobs, but he was not one of them.

After being fired more than a dozen times due to technical issues in two years, he interviewed for his current job out of frustration.

A photographer for the kidnapping gang, specializing in making extortion videos.

This job is easy and pleasant. Apart from being relatively dangerous, the money comes very quickly. If you complete one job in one or two months, you can earn as much as a white-collar worker would earn in a whole year.

And you don’t need very advanced photography skills, you just need to know how to press the shutter and make the video into a USB flash drive or CD.

He was resistant when he first came in, but when he got the first sum of money, his cowardice and kindness were crushed by the money.

It was he who proposed this action to the boss.

The kidnapping gang was well-informed, so he naturally knew about the Suzuki family.

If they can spend billions for a dog, then if the person kidnapped was the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, wouldn’t that cost tens of billions?

Therefore, when his old classmate Suzuki Ayako asked him out, he was so happy that he readily accepted the invitation.

However, the development of the party was somewhat beyond his expectations, but not in a bad way.

Not only the eldest lady came, but also the second lady, double the happiness!

Takahashi's incident was indeed a bit unexpected, but it was not a big problem. On the contrary, the police would be distracted during the investigation because of the other party's existence.

As long as he completes the kidnapping and then pretends to have seen Takahashi kidnap the two girls from the Suzuki family, he and his team might be able to pull the case off intact, and they might not even need to go abroad.

As for Takahashi, haha, it doesn't matter whether he takes the blame or not. Anyway, after being accused, he won't be able to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to explain. If he goes there, he will have to serve a few years in prison.

"Kakutani, you did a good job this time. When this is over, we will go to the United States or Europe. With money in hand, we can live a carefree life wherever we go. Being a landowner is not bad either.

If you manage it well and seize this wave of financial opportunities, it is not impossible to become a billionaire in the future."

The bearded elder brother nodded vigorously and began to spread chicken soup to his two younger brothers.

But they were really happy because their hyena gang finally made a big profit this time.

In the past, we could only target well-off families. Not only was the money we could get very little, but we also often ran the risk of being caught by the police.

Although the risk is a little greater this time, they have made all the preparations. As long as the kidnapping is successful, they will immediately smuggle themselves out of the country, and the boat is ready.

There will definitely be no problem in conducting hostage transactions abroad, and other countries will most likely not pay too much attention to such kidnapping cases in other countries.

This method has great potential!

The other sinister middle-aged man's face was flushed, his joy was beyond words, and he looked as if he had already received the money before he took any action.

In his joy, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the villa, as if he was looking at a mountain of gold and silver.

"who is it!"

His smile suddenly disappeared, his eyes fixed on a big tree in front of him, and he quickly raised the pistol in his hand!

"what happened?"

The bearded brother asked with caution and confusion.

"There seems to be someone there." The sinister middle-aged man slowly moved forward without looking around.

Kakutani and the bearded man raised their pistols vigilantly and followed behind the sinister middle-aged man.

"A rustling--"

There was movement behind the tree again, and this time the other two people also noticed it.

"Who is it, come out!"

No one answered from behind the tree.

Just as the sinister middle-aged man was about to shoot, he was held down by the bearded man.
