Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

After listening for a while, Kudo Yuki analyzed: "This subordinate received an order from the boss, Gui Tong Na Fang, to drive the kidnapped boy to a designated location at 12 noon on Sunday.

If this subordinate didn't know that the ghost boy had passed away, then he had most likely been following the boss's instructions and faithfully carrying out this mission over the past period of time."

Sato Miwako agreed: "Yeah, maybe the ghost boy also told us not to contact him again before the matter is done."

The three kids looked at their watches.

"Please allow me to interrupt for a moment."

"Today is Sunday."

"And it's already 11:54."

Ogino Ayami reacted: "Does that mean that in 5 minutes, the kidnapper's accomplice will drive the kidnapped boy out of this window?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Takagi suggested, "Let's contact the headquarters immediately to request support."

Miwako Sato frowned, "No, when we explained the situation on the phone, it was time to make the deal."

Conan picked up the bow tie voice changer and said, "I'm wearing a red bow tie, maybe we can pretend to be trading partners."

"If the criminal finds out that this is a trap and drives away, the boy's life will be in danger. It would be great if there was a way to get the criminal out of the car. However, we would first need to know how the criminal plans to take the ransom."

Conan leaned forward and asked, "Did the kidnapper tell us how to hand over the 50 million yen to them?"

Officer Takagi recalled, "When the criminal contacted us on a pay phone, he said that he wanted to put all the money in an aluminum suitcase, and they also requested that the suitcase be about 50 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide, and 15 centimeters thick."

“Have you even decided on the size of the box?”

"Yes."

"Why is this?"

"That..." Enomoto Azusa interrupted Conan's thoughts. "There may be something that has nothing to do with what you are discussing. Someone once drew a thin line on the sofa by the window.

The line extended from the backrest to the wall, marking a triangular area on the seat cushion. However, I have erased it. In addition, I also found an empty paper bag on the floor under this seat.

Miwako Sato frowned: "Empty paper bag?"

"I see." Amuro Toru leaned on his elbow with one hand and explained: "The criminal might have intended to give such instructions to the person who brought the ransom.

Place the aluminum suitcase diagonally along that line on the sofa, leaving a triangular gap behind the suitcase.

Then he picked up the paper bag on the ground and pretended to put the money into the bag, but actually hid the money in the triangular gap at the back of the box.

After doing all this, he went to pay the bill and left the coffee shop with the empty paper bag. In this way, on the surface, there was only an empty box left on the sofa.

Then, the prisoner waited for him to leave and immediately went into the store, took off his coat and covered the box and the cash.

Then he would quietly take out the box from under his coat, tell the clerk that someone had left something behind, and hand the box to the clerk. Finally, the criminal could quietly put the ransom money into his bag and take it away. "

Officer Takagi looked at Amuro Toru and said, "It must be what you said."

Ogino Ayami complained, "I really envy you, Mr. Amuro. I kind of miss Kenji."

Sato Miwako followed suit: "I have the same doubts, but I don't know what Jinpei and the others are investigating?"

Kudo Yuki smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Two beautiful police officers, didn't you chat with them during your break? Eat some snacks to fill your stomach." As she said that, she took out their favorite snacks to divert their attention.

The two began to taste it silently, and Amuro Toru smiled and said nothing more.

Conan thought of a solution: “Anyway, we have to charge the Gamer 7 first.

Three little hands holding chargers.

“We are already charging.”

"Because Sister Xiaozi has a charger."

"It will open after charging for about ten minutes."

"Very good." Conan curled his lips slightly, "Sister Xiaozi, is the paper bag still in the store?"

"Oh, it's still there. I'll get it right away." After saying that, he turned and left.

Sato Miwako and Ogino Ayami had also finished their snacks at this moment, and Kudo Yuki picked up the small plate to clean up.

Conan said, "Then, can you please follow my plan?" He turned to look at his elder sister, "Sister Xue, please requisition a few positions."

"Okay, little detective. Then I have a condition. If you rescue the little boy, I will tell you a secret."

Conan nodded slightly, the plan in his mind had already taken shape. He methodically laid out the plan in full, and then everyone began to plan their actions.

Toru Amuro tied Conan's red bow tie and sat by the window.

Azusa Enomoto placed the charged game console on the table in front of Toru Amuro, and then returned to the bar to take up his post.

The children of the Junior Detective Team sat obediently on the chairs in front of the bar, their little faces full of anticipation and nervousness.

Miwako Sato and Ayami Ogino quietly went out and lay in ambush on the roadside, ready to act at any time.

Officer Takagi sat opposite Toru Amuro and pretended to know nothing.

Kudo Yuki took the opportunity to return to the monitoring room and used her mobile phone to record the conversations of Sato Miwako and Ogino Ayami about missing their boyfriends, and sent them to Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji.

Also attached is a paragraph:

Two handsome policemen, your girlfriends are missing you. You guys, you better work harder and finish the mission quickly, otherwise these two beautiful policemen will miss you so much!

After finishing all this, Kudo Yuki walked to the kitchen, took out a small and exquisite cake from the refrigerator, and sat down at the table next to Amuro Toru.

At this time, Shushu poked his little head out of her pocket, and the man and the mouse ate while watching the wonderful "show" that was about to be performed.

Kudo Yuki's gaze drifted towards Amuro Toru from time to time. Amuro Toru seemed to sense something and slightly turned his head. The moment his eyes met Kudo Yuki's, he suddenly felt dry in his mouth and hurriedly looked away. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked out the window, and continued to wait for the criminal to appear.

Kudo Yuki tilted her head and continued to taste the dessert cake.

Shushu's eyes sparkled, and he thought to himself: "These two are really interesting. They are not like me, who is beautiful alone, cracking pine nuts and watching the show."

Conan looked at his watch and calculated the time. There were only a few seconds left before the criminal appeared. As soon as he put down his watch, the criminal drove his car and stopped by the window of Poirot Cafe.

The little boy popped his head out and kept waving his fists to ask Amuro Toru for help. Amuro Toru nodded slightly, understood what the boy meant, and adjusted his red bow tie.

The prisoner driving the car also nodded in agreement, typing a message on his game console.

After a while, Toru Amuro heard the "ding" sound of the game console. He picked up the console, took a look at it, put it down, and gave a thumbs up.

Toru Amuro took up the paper bag under his seat and pretended to put the ransom into it. The place where he was sitting was blocked by green plants and walls, so others could not see clearly what was inside.

After doing all this, Toru Amuro stood up and walked out of the Poirot Café.

Officer Takagi followed closely behind.

The prisoner got out of the car, looked at Amuro Toru's back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Excuse me." Sato Miwako showed her ID. "Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?"

When the criminal saw the police, he immediately took out the pepper spray and sprayed it into Miwako Sato's eyes. He turned and ran, not even caring about the car.

Ogino Ayami immediately chased after him.

Miwako Sato narrowed her eyes and shouted loudly: "Xiaoxue, Conan, please take care of that child. I see he is the only one left in the car." After that, she chased in the direction the criminal escaped.

Kudo Yuki threw the finished cake into the trash can. The siblings walked to the car and Conan opened the door directly.

The little boy got out of the car, crying loudly.

Conan closed the car door, and the other members of the Junior Detective League gathered around him and tried to comfort him.

"You must be very scared."

"It's okay now."

"The bad guys who kidnapped you have been driven away."

"You can rest assured."

"We will protect you."

"That's right, that's right."

"Don't cry! It's okay, it's okay."

"Can you tell us your name?"

"Let's get you something hot to drink."

"Yes, what would you like to drink?"

Toru Amuro and Officer Takagi ran back.

Officer Gao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, it looks like he's okay."

Kudo Yuki stroked the little boy's head and said, "Little boy, can you tell me that the car door was not locked and you were not tied up? Then why didn't you run away? Were there other people tied up by that bad guy?"

The little boy held back his tears and nodded, "Yeah."

Everyone was shocked.

Sato Miwako and Ogino Ayami also ran back panting.

"I'm sorry, guys. The kidnapper ran into the crowd and let him slip away."

"But fortunately, Alan doesn't seem to be in any serious condition."

Kudo Yuki shook her head: "This matter is not over yet, let's go in first."

Everyone walked into the Poirot Café, and Kudo Yuki briefly told Sato Miwako and Ogino Ayami about the situation.

"what!"

"Besides him, another child was kidnapped?"

"Yeah." Conan explained the reason: "I remember that Alan was kidnapped while playing in the park. The child who played with Alan at the time was not found either, right?"

Officer Takagi replied: "Well, I asked all of Alan's friends at school, but I couldn't find out who the victim was."

"I guess even though Alan wasn't tied up, he didn't choose to get out of the car and run away because the kidnappers threatened you. If you ran away, your friends who were kidnapped with you might be in danger, right?"

The little boy nodded.

Miwako Sato raised a question: "But the parents of the other victim have not found their child yet, why didn't they report the case to the police?"

"Yuji, he transferred to another school." Alan spread his hands and said, "But he returned the Ballon de foot (soccer) to me, so we played in the park for a while."

Ayumi blinked. "Ballon de foot? What does that mean?"

Conan answered: "That's the French word for football."

Amuro Toru rested his chin on one hand, "I see. Maybe it's because the place where Yuji transferred to is not far away, such as Chiba or Saitama, and he can get here by public transportation.

So he secretly came alone to return the football to Alan without telling his parents, but he was also kidnapped.

The missing person notice for Yuji may only have registered his place of residence. I'm afraid no one would have thought that his disappearance was related to the kidnapping case."

Officer Gao Mu bent down slightly and said, "So, Alan, do you know where you have been held all this time?"

"do not know."

Ogino Ayami pondered: "Do you still remember the route you took to get here after getting in the kidnapper's car?"

Alan still shook his head: "The man said that I had to lie flat on the back seat until the car arrived. So I couldn't see the road."

"Is that so?" Sato Miwako felt a little disappointed.

Alan then added: "But I heard the broadcast. It was broadcasting information about the route, when we set out, and when we arrived."

Kudo Yuki confirmed with him: "Could it be that what you heard was the road traffic conditions reported by the Nichima Radio?"

Alan nodded.

Conan and Toru Amuro began to stroke their chins and think.

"In that case, you heard the 11:58 announcement when you arrived."

“That car was driving for almost 30 minutes.”

Officer Takagi, Ogino Ayami, and Sato Miwako also understood.

“Somewhere about 30 minutes from here.”

"That's where the other victim, Yuji, is being held."

"Looks like we have to split up and search."

Conan said seriously: "I think we can get some information from Alan. But during this period of time, if the prisoner returns to the place of imprisonment, Yuji will be in danger.

Officer Sato, Officer Ogino, Officer Takagi, Sister Xue, and Brother Amuro, can you drive out in three directions and act separately? During this time, I will continue to ask Alan other questions. "

Everyone nodded: "Okay."

Ogino Ayami directly pushed Kudo Yuki's shoulders into Amuro Toru's arms. "As for me, it's better for me to be in a group with Miwako. You two should just bloom your beauty on your own."

Kudo Yuki's cheeks flushed slightly.

Amuro Toru coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassedly.

Before taking action, several people took out their mobile phones and entered the group chat mode.

Toru Amuro sat in the driver's seat, he started the engine, and the car drove out slowly.

At the same time, Sato Miwako also started her car and set off quickly. The two cars sped away in different directions.

After a while, they began to report their journey one by one.

"I'm Sato, heading southwest from the Poirot Cafe."

"I'm Amuro. I'm about a kilometer southeast now."

"I'm Gao Mu. I'm taking a taxi north now. It's about one kilometer away."

Then, Conan's voice came: "Then please continue to stay in the mobile group chat and listen to our conversation here."

Everyone responded: "Okay."

Conan took the initiative to ask: "So Alan, can you give me a rough idea of ​​where you and Yuji were imprisoned? What kind of place was it? Whose home was it? Or was it a place like a warehouse?"

"There are lots of rooms and lots of people. There's also an ascenseur (elevator)."

Ayumi's voice came: "What is Asensor?"

Conan patiently replied: "This word means elevator in French. If there are many rooms and people, it may be a residential building such as an apartment."

Alan lowered his head and murmured, "We always take the elevator when we go out, but it always feels a little strange."

To be continued...
