A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 273 Little Girlfriend
"Pingji, are you okay, does it hurt?"

Seeing the scars on Hattori's face, Heye asked in a distressed tone, tears even faintly flashed from the corners of her eyes, she regretted agreeing to her father's coming to Tokyo.

"It's okay, before I deciphered the code, the few of them didn't dare to hit me hard, it's just some skin trauma."

"What should we do now, the phones have been taken away by them, and we can't find someone for help."

"Don't worry, someone will come to rescue us. The most important thing now is to understand the cause of the whole incident, Mr. Kusuda, can you please tell me a thing or two."

"How do you know that someone will come to rescue us... Heiji, are you stupid, isn't Mr. Kusuda dead?"

Heye said in bewildered surprise, his eyes fixed on Kusuda Koji lying motionless on the ground.

"It's not dead. See if there is less dust under his nose than in other places. This is caused by his breathing."

"As expected of a famous high school student detective in Osaka, you can be seen right away."

As soon as Hattori's words fell, Mr. Kusuda's body suddenly shook, and He Ye screamed in surprise. Hattori quickly signaled her to be quiet and not to draw anyone up.

After a long time, Koji Kusuda opened his eyes when he heard no movement from the attic. Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured.

"Mr. Nantian, keep lying there, don't be discovered by them later, can you tell me the ins and outs of the matter."

Kusuda Koji said it without hesitation. It was because of this matter that he asked Toyama Ginshiro for help. He briefly sorted out the language, and then told the whole story.

The origin of the matter lies in a commission. The real identity of the middle-aged aunt is a lawyer, and she is still relatively well-known in the legal circle. Apart from her strong lawsuits, the most important thing about her reputation is that she is cheap.

However, in fact, her fee is not low, but rather high, and she just made such false information in order not to pay taxes.

Kusuda Koji accidentally discovered this secret when he was entrusted to investigate this woman, and left evidence.

Unfortunately, before he handed over the evidence, the matter was known by the female lawyer, who threatened Koji Kusuda to hand over the evidence to her.

Of course Koji Kusuda did not agree. After all, this was an illegal and criminal act and should be handled by the police.

However, when he got the evidence, Kusuda Koji kept an eye on it, and immediately deposited it in the safe of Mihua Bank, and only he knew the password.

The lawyer who couldn't get the evidence was naturally not reconciled. She and two accomplices secretly watched Koji Kusuda outside his house every day, just to get evidence.

He also reported to the police, but the police were very perfunctory to what he said. In desperation, he could only turn to his former boss, Toyama Ginshiro for help.

As a result, after he finished making the phone call with his front feet, his back feet were tied up by these people.

The code in front of Hattori was written by Koji Kusuda. The information contained in it is the password of the bank safe, and the graffiti on the table is also one of the clues.

The purpose was to leave clues so that the people sent by Minister Yuan Shan could open the safe and get the evidence, but before he could hide it, these people dug it out.

"I'm really sorry that I have troubled you, and I'm sorry Minister Yuanshan."

After finishing speaking, Koji Kusuda looked sad. He felt that the three of them were really doomed this time, because there was no possibility of being rescued at all, and the news of the kidnapping of the three of them had not been leaked at all.

"Don't give up, didn't I say, someone will come to rescue us, maybe it's already on the way."

Seeing the confidence on Hattori's face, Kazuha and Koji Kusuda seemed to be infected, a little hope rose in his heart.

……

At this time, Conan and his group came to Koji Kusuda's house and encountered the same situation as Hattori's.

Seeing the piece of tape and the messy footprints in front of the door, he also walked into Koji Kusuda's house. The difference is that no one came out to kidnap them this time.

Conan followed Hattori's unfinished action, put the sticky note in the rectangle surrounded by pencil lines, and at the same time smeared it with a pencil, and the font immediately appeared on the sticky note.

"Xianqiao Town, Ito House"

"Mr. Kusuda and Hattori and the others went to this place to solve the problem?"

"It's possible, let's go find it."

Conan didn't have any opinion on this, and he had a vague feeling that Hattori might be in danger, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared for no reason.

There are also footprints at the door, too many, far more than two or three people left, and they are all left today, who could it be?

There are many people surnamed Ito around Xianqiao Town, because there is no detailed clue, Xiaolan and the others can only ask one by one.

The more I asked, the more I was disappointed. Every household said the same thing. I had never seen anyone who looked like two high school students, and they didn't know who Koji Kusuda was.

"This is the last one. If this one doesn't exist yet, we can only give up looking for it temporarily."

The uncle didn't notice any abnormalities at the moment. In his heart, Hattori and the two might be fooling around somewhere, and it's business to finish quickly and go betting on the horses.

Xiaolan knocked on the door and waited for a long time before someone came out. The moment she saw the other person's clothes, Xiaolan blurted out.

"Are you lawyer Miriam Ito?"

"you are?"

It was the female lawyer who kidnapped Hattori and the others who came out of the house. She was originally monitoring Hattori in the attic, and she came down after hearing a knock on the door.

The female lawyer was a little surprised when Xiaolan revealed her identity, she was sure that she had never seen this girl before.

"My name is Mao Lilan, and my mother is Fei Yingli. I heard her mention you once."

"It turned out to be the child of the concubine's family, so this must be the famous detective Mori Kogoro, what's the reason you came to see me?"

After hearing Xiaolan's introduction, the surprise on Melisa Ito's face faded away, and she curiously asked their purpose of coming here.

"We want to ask if there are two students around my age who came to your place today."

Hearing this, Melisa Ito shook her head without hesitation, and replied.

"I only have a few familiar customers here today, and there are no students of the same age as you mentioned."

"Sorry to disturb you."

Looking at the backs of Xiaolan and the others going away, Melisa Ito's face suddenly became gloomy, and she turned and walked to the attic.

Hattori upstairs was being threatened by two other kidnappers because they felt that Hattori had no intention of cooperating. It was not until Miriasa Ito came up that the two stopped threatening.

"Who is here?"

Melisa Ito did not reply to her companion's question, but went straight to Hattori with a cold tone.

"I didn't expect you to know the famous detective Mori Kogoro. I really underestimated you, but you'd better not expect him to rescue you, because he doesn't know that you have been kidnapped, and cracking the code is the only way out for you."

"How dare, how dare, this is not being cracked all the time, give me some more time, and it will be solved soon, but can I trouble you, give me some space for quiet thinking."

Melisa Ito stared at Hattori for a while, threatening.

"I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise your little girlfriend may die."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and took his two companions down the attic, and the room returned to silence again.

"He Ye, we are saved, Conan and the others have found this place."

However, at this time, Kazuha was already immersed in the fantasy of the little girlfriend, and didn't hear what Hattori was saying at all.
