After Megure Police Department put Nagano Shiina in the ambulance, he and his subordinates led the robbers into the building.
After seeing their usually elusive police colleagues and the robber lying next to them, the Mumu Police Department breathed a sigh of relief:
"Thanks to you this time. Are the other two hostages okay? Which hospital did you send them to? You will have to trouble them to take notes later."
Feng Jian Yuya was startled and shook his head: "When we came, we didn't see any hostages. We only found these kidnappers."
"What?" The police were shocked. After a moment, Miwako Sato came back to her senses and looked down at the only conscious kidnapper in her hand, "Where are the hostages!?"
Everyone else also brushed their heads and turned to look over.
The robber counted one, two, three, and four of his accomplices on the ground. Knowing that the situation was over, he suddenly awakened his innate skill of confessing as soon as he was caught, and said sadly: "The man is dead, and the woman ran away."
"Impossible!" Officer Sato frowned and grabbed him by the collar.
She has encountered many kidnapping incidents, but as we all know, very few people die in such incidents, especially those who are good at reasoning.
At this time, when he heard that there were casualties, and the deceased had been seen at the crime scene before, Shiraishi, who had a first-class reasoning, Sato's first reaction was - this person is lying.
Mouri Kogoro patted his daughter, who suddenly became teary-eyed after hearing the robber's words, cleared his throat and walked forward - he met him when he was leaving the city and infiltrated into the police team.
At this moment, the private detective touched his chin, assumed the signature posture of a detective, thought for a moment, and analyzed calmly:
"Police Department, he must have other accomplices who have not been arrested. The other two hostages are in the hands of his accomplices. He said this because he wanted to disrupt the police's sight so that his accomplices could escape safely with the hostages and then follow us again.
Exchange hostages!”
Reasoning that sounds reasonable at first glance but is actually very nonsense is exactly what Mouri Kogoro is good at.
Conan was originally listening intently, but halfway through, he automatically blocked what the uncle said because there were too many loopholes.
But conversely, the kidnapper's words were also full of loopholes, and Conan couldn't tell who was telling the truth for a while.
"Why did I lie to you..." the kidnapper murmured innocently.
He happens to be the one who believes in ghosts and gods the most and is also the most timid among the robbery gang.
At this moment, he had just woken up from anesthesia, his mind was still not clear, and he was questioned by Mouri Kogoro. He accidentally spit out what he had imagined:
"That woman secretly escaped halfway. Before escaping, in order to prevent us from killing her partner, she killed another hostage first, so that we would have no choice when we kept the hostage... How cunning."
"?" Others followed his words and recalled that "that woman" the kidnapper mentioned should refer to Gao Shannan.
But no matter how he checked, Gao Shannan was just an ordinary singer. How could he possibly do such a thing as the kidnapper said.
Sato was silent for a moment, then turned to the Megure Police Department and whispered: "Is he taking drugs? Let's search the car again. Maybe we can find drugs."
Conan observed the robber carefully and found that his expression was frightened and did not look like he was lying.
But Conan doesn't believe that Shiraishi is really dead - all the kidnappers in the building, including the one in the car, have no traces of bruises, blood, or stains of rolling and struggling. In other words, they are very
It was as if he had been knocked down by an anesthesia needle.
In addition, some people still have strangulation marks on their necks. Think about the wire rope that Black Cat occasionally uses... No matter how you look at it, it looks like he has been here before.
Conan walked over and shook the kidnapper. After the kidnapper recovered from his thoughts, he asked seriously: "Tell me again from the beginning, what exactly happened? Don't add your subjective impression, just tell the truth about what you saw."
"
The kidnapper glanced at the child who was out of place at the crime scene, then looked at the women's coat he was wearing, with a vaguely strange look in his eyes.
But soon, even the female police officer next to him began to urge him, and he had no choice but to recall and recount the previous situation.
Conan listened carefully to every step.
He had no clue about Gao Shannan's disappearance and could only temporarily explain it as that the female singer had hidden somewhere that the robbers had not thought of for the time being.
And when the kidnappers said that Shiraishi suddenly vomited blood and died suddenly... Conan always felt that this scene seemed familiar.
He pinched his temples and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up - Kimura Tatsuya had the same behavior last time when he "fake death" in the karaoke bar.
...Maybe Shiraishi happened to have a fake death drug on him. When he was in the car, Shiraishi also realized that there were too many hostages and was keenly aware of the kidnapper's murderous intention, so he first tried to hide Gao Shannan before taking the risk of eating the kidnappers.
Plant medicine to protect Nagano shinai.
After he faked his death and the kidnappers abandoned his body, he could take the opportunity to escape.
This method, which is a bit fanciful and a bit sacrificial for others, does seem like the method Shiraishi would use, and Conan immediately became inspired again.
At this time, the kidnapper was still mumbling about things related to Gao Shannan. Conan interrupted him: "Where is the body? Where did you throw the body of the hostage who died suddenly?"
"Conan?" Mao Lilan felt that his mood was not right. Shiraishi was dead, why was he still happy?
Conan grabbed her hand: "Shiraishi is probably still alive! He..."
Conan originally wanted to talk about the fake death drug.
But then I thought about it, this magical drug is about to break away from ordinary drugs and be sublimated to the level of APTX4869. This is probably something Black Cat got from somewhere. It may involve the organization, so it cannot be messed up.
explain.
Moreover, if "Kudo Shinichi" said this kind of thing, some people might believe it.
But from the perspective of "Conan", it will only cause the police to mistakenly believe that the child does not want to accept the fact that his neighbor is dead and is talking nonsense, causing the police to concentrate on finding Gao Shannan who escaped and relax the search for the "body".
After his thoughts whirled around, Conan changed his explanation: "...He might have hurt himself intentionally, then held his breath and pretended to be dead. The kidnapper was in a panic and had no time to confirm, so he 'dumped' the body somewhere casually."
This sounds too idealistic. But human life is at stake, and hope cannot be given up no matter how small it is. Therefore, the Memu Police Department nodded and helped Conan ask the robber: "Where is the 'body'?"
Mao Lilan and Conan looked at him expectantly.
I heard the kidnapper say ruthlessly: "Throw it into the river."
After a pause, the kidnapper scratched his head and added: "The woman suddenly disappeared for no reason, and we were all a little weak, so when the boss dumped the body, he tied stones to the body. It should not have been washed away."
The excitement in Conan's eyes froze. After a while, he asked arduously: "...when did you throw it away?"
The kidnapper looked at Sato's cell phone screen, then thought about the time when Gao Shannan disappeared, and did a mental calculation: "At least half an hour ago."
There was sudden silence in the building.
...For such a long time, let alone people, the seals might have suffocated to death.
After a while, the Mu Mu Police Department let out a heavy sigh.
He touched the petrified Conan's head, and then patted Mao Lilan, who had a face full of wanting to cry. He said in a tone of mourning for a martyr: "No matter what, let's go and have a look first. We can't let him stay forever."
Soak in the water.”
