Conan dialed the number to the Maori Detective Agency and got through successfully.
Mao Lilan's voice came from the receiver. Her tone was calm, just like usual.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that it was not too late: "Have you seen Shiraishi?"
"How many times have I told you, when calling someone older than you, you should add a suffix after the name." Mao Lilan first reflexively corrected Conan's bad habit, and then turned to look out the window. The phone happened to be by the window.
It was just a casual look at first, but I didn't expect Shiraishi to be right on the street.
"I saw him, he is walking home, what do you want?"
While Mao Lilan was replying to Conan, she was planning to wave and say hello to Shiraishi who was approaching.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, a foreigner wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses also walked towards her on the side of the road.
He was getting closer and closer to Shiraishi... When Shiraishi passed a van with the door open on the side of the road, the foreigner suddenly raised his hand and pushed the person into the car with lightning speed.
"..." Mao Lilan held up the receiver and was stunned.
A second later, when she came to her senses, the weird foreigner had also followed into the car, the door slammed shut, and the car drove away quickly.
Mao Lilan threw away the receiver with a blank expression, opened the window screen, stepped on the window edge, and jumped from the second floor to the sidewalk in shock and anger.
Mouri Kogoro was dozing on the table when he was suddenly awakened by a series of noises. He got up and saw that the window was wide open and his daughter was gone.
Mouri Kogoro looked at the receiver thrown aside in confusion, then tentatively picked it up and put it to his ear.
Then Conan almost pierced his eardrums by shouting: "Lan! What's wrong with you!?"
"Who are you calling? You little brat." Mouri Kogoro rubbed his ears, and was completely awakened by Conan's shouting. He asked angrily, "What's wrong?"
Conan was slightly startled when he heard Kogoro Mouri's voice.
Originally, he thought that Mao Lilan suddenly dropped the receiver just now because the robbers broke into the detective office.
But now, he felt that things were different from what he thought.
——The interval from the time the receiver fell to the time the phone was picked up by Mouri Kogoro was only a few seconds.
Coupled with Maori Kogoro's confused reaction, Maori Lan just said that he saw Shiraishi on the street, and the sound of the window being pulled open just now...
Several key points were quickly put together in his mind, and Conan immediately guessed the situation.
"Quickly look to see if there are any suspicious persons or vehicles on the street!" Conan said seriously, "There is a group of armed kidnappers near you."
"Kidnapper with a gun!?" Mouri Kogoro suddenly didn't bother to ask about the source of the intelligence. He hurriedly leaned out and looked outside.
However, he only saw Mao Lilan who was unwilling to catch up with the car and stopped on the side of the road, skillfully taking out his mobile phone to call the police.
Mao Lilan actually almost caught up.
But the driver saw that the situation was not good, so he made a sudden turn and drifted. When Mao Lilan was about to chase, the intersection happened to be red.
Her habit of obeying traffic rules made her hesitate reflexively, and ultimately failed to catch up.
Almost at the same time, a street away, Toru Amuro looked at this from a distance, stopped, and gave a few instructions to his mobile phone.
He went to the Amuro Detective Agency today to search for information about the organization, try to find gold coins in advance, and then submit the information to his regular unit.
While reading the information, Toru Amuro accidentally glanced out the window and saw a somewhat suspicious seven-seater car two streets away.
The car parked there and didn't move for a long time.
When Toru Amuro looked out the window for the third time, he finally felt that something was not right. He found Shiraishi's sniper rifle hidden in the office and secretly observed it with the scope for a while.
The more I look at it, the more I feel there is a problem.
——The driver of the seven-seater car looks like a very standard Westerner. In addition, there is a foreigner who has been lingering near the car. He occasionally has cryptic interactions with the driver, and seems to want to cause trouble.
Thinking of the information about the robbers that he had heard before, and what he saw in the news today, a very blurry photo of the vehicle where TWO-MIX was kidnapped, Toru Amuro had a vague feeling that this might be the group he was looking for.
Robbers.
The robbers were numerous and had sufficient firepower.
The most important thing is that the two celebrity hostages may still be in the car.
Therefore, Toru Amuro did not take action rashly. He called his public security assistant Yuya Kazami and asked him to bring more people to the nearby area for support.
At the same time, he himself went to that neighborhood, intending to find an excuse to stop the thieves group's next kidnapping target, prevent him from passing the car, and save innocent citizens.
It's a pity that the kidnappers had already succeeded before they even got there.
The hostage's luck was a little too bad...
…
In the robber's car, Shiraishi looked at Mao Lilan who was thrown away in the rearview mirror, and the figure on the other side who was suspected to be Toru Amuro, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the seat back.
This neighborhood was really not safe for kidnappers. Fortunately, I came out in time. If I had stayed in the izakaya for a while longer, the consequences would have been disastrous.
However, forget it about Mao Lilan, I am afraid Amuro Toru will not stop there.
Although he was not sure what position he held in the police, Shiraishi remembered that Toru Amuro would often pull a group of people out to chase and intercept him.
In short, before you successfully sneak into the kidnapper's stronghold, you must not be caught up by him or his men.
Also, Conan needs to pay attention as well.
However, this reasoning machine requires enough clues for reasoning, and he always likes to appear at the last moment, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being...
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt an itch on his waist - the robber sitting next to him poked him with a pistol.
Baishi turned his head and looked over in confusion, and saw the man frowning and looking at him for a while, then leaned forward and muttered to the person in the co-pilot: "Boss, why is this person so honest? We didn't find the wrong person."
There are quite a lot of requirements...
Shiraishi shrank back in cooperation and said, "Don't point the gun at me. I get nervous when I see the gun."
"……"real?
The kidnapper looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that the hostage was caught incorrectly, and his attitude changed too suddenly, as if he was acting, but he had no evidence.
However, no locator or anything like that could be found on the new hostage's body, and he didn't carry any weapons. His build was that of a thin Asian, and he was tied up very tightly, so there shouldn't be any problems...
With this thought in mind, the kidnapper pushed down the backrest of the chair next to him and pushed the person to the last row out of sight and out of mind, so that the new hostage and the two celebrity hostages could gather together.
The last row of seats, although more bumpy than the front ones, has a good view.
Shiraishi looked around the window vaguely, but didn't see any suspected police vehicles for the time being, so he looked back and looked at Nagano Shiina and Takayama Minami next to him.
