Tuesday, July 31, noon, Swallow House in the Azabu area.

Haruko Oda brought five members of the Junior Detective Group over, handed over the plastic bag to the inspectors, and told Oda Nobue and Yan Kenzo what had happened.

The gangsters used a mobile phone to make Butler Yan drive around, and then asked Steward Yan to go to Rice Flower Park to put a ransom of 100 million yen on the ground.

Haruko Oda arranged for the group to go to various nearby locations where they could see Rice Flower Park, but they still didn't have time to block the gangsters in a certain building.

Oda Haruko said: "These little ghosts were passing by Rice Flower Park at that time, and when they saw Steward Yan's panicked appearance, they suspected that he was a bad person, and pounced on Steward Yan when he was verifying the gangster's capital. Later, the gangsters said that the thing was under the park bench, so they went to look for it, and finally Ayumi took it out. Because I didn't know the danger level of the gangster, I was afraid that something would be wrong with the thing, so I brought her back. ”

"I'm sorry. The Junior Detective Corps saluted Oda Nobue and Yan Ken.

"No need. Yan Jiansan sighed, "This may be Qiufu's fate." ”

"You don't have to be so pessimistic, Mr. Yan," Oda Nobue said, "I believe that Akio is safe until the gangsters get the money." ”

"Yes, sir. Steward Yan said, "Little Master Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be safe." ”

At this time, the inspectors sent the letter, "inside is a child's crayon drawing and a newspaper collage of ransom letters, there should be no harmful substances on it." ”

"That's good. Haruko Oda said, and then Jean Ayumi took off her gloves.

"Good work. Oda Shin took the letter, opened it, looked at it, and handed it to Yan Kenzo, "The gangsters put this under the bench in advance, which means that this is the real ransom." ”

The inspector said: "Crayons and drawing paper are ordinary goods, and stationery stores should have them, so it is difficult to find out." On the other hand, the object in the lower left corner of the painting used to appear in Akio's previous painting, which was painted by Akio in kindergarten, and the object on it was a water tower in a nearby park and the clock next to it. ”

Yan Jiansan said with some excitement: "That's Qiufu's signature, when Qiufu paints, he always treats the things he sees at that time as a signature painting, so he is near his kindergarten." ”

"Don't get excited, there are more than one similar buildings in Tokyo, and we don't know if Akio will draw these similar things in one place, after all, he is just a child," said the inspector. ”

"You're right. Yan Jiansan said disappointedly.

Oda Nobue said: "Please rest easy, maybe the most dangerous place is the safest place, and we will send someone to investigate." ”

"Then please. Yan Kenzo said, then looked at the ransom note and muttered, "Deposit a billion yen into the account of the Swiss Union Bank." ”

Motota whispered to himself, "A billion yen, how much eel rice is that?"

"Motota!" Ayumi shouted dissatisfied.

"The Swiss banks," said Graybara, "seem to have no chance." ”

"Why?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Isn't it possible for the police to get the depositor's information from the bank?"

"Banks in Switzerland are known for keeping secrets, and it is impossible for the police to get their hands on depositors. Conan said.

"That's the perfect crime. Ayumi said dejectedly.

At this time, Yan Kenzo, who looked at the letter and thought, said: "There is a problem with this, if it is those people in my family, the number of one billion yen is too little." ”

"Oh, that's good news. Oda Nobue smiled.

Yan Jiansan asked, "What do you say?"

Oda Nobue smiled: "Since you are not your relative, I just used that kind of way with a high probability of exposure to confirm whether you are willing to pay money, that is, I don't know about you and Akio, then this abduction incident should not be specifically aimed at Akio." Akio's painting says that he and a clown are watching Kamen Superman's TV, which means that the gangster didn't show Akio his true face, so Akio may be much more likely to survive. ”

"That's good, that's good. Yan Jiansan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "By the way, the bank, can you ask Miss Xinmei for a favor?"

That's exactly what I mean. Oda Nobue said, and then called Oda Nobumi.

"Alright, Ayumi," said Oda Haruko, "since you're all right, I'll send someone to send you back." ”

"Yes. The Junior Detective Corps responded. ……

Soon after, Oda Nobue received a call from Oda Nobumi, she sent someone to get the information of the account owner under the pretext of capital verification, Yuji Kisaki, male, thirty-two years old, has been open for three years, and currently has more than one million dollars.

Oda Nobue asked, "Is that all, what about the company, what about the phone number, where you live?"

"There is no obligation to tell us that information. Nobumi Oda said, "By the way, one million dollars is equivalent to 120 million yen. ”

Oda Nobue said: "I know, maybe it's a guy who has money but lacks a lot of money, anyway, now that I know the name, I'll let Haruko go to Officer Yumi's place." ”

"Okay, so be it. Oda Nobumi said.

After hanging up the phone, Oda Nobumi asked Kenzo Tsubame, Butler Tsubame, and the couple who took care of Akio Tsubame if they knew about Yuji Kisaki, but found nothing. ……

On the other side, the rice flower shopping street.

Conan asked the driver to take their Junior Detective Corps here, and after getting out of the car, he went to the stationery store to buy crayons and drawing paper.

"Conan, what are you buying these things for?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Whatever we're going to do next, let's go eat first. Yuan Tai said.

Conan asked Gray Plains, "How much do you remember about that painting just now?"

"That kid's stuff, of course I remember. Gray Yuan said, and then asked, "You want to investigate?"

"Yes. Conan said.

Mitsuhiko shouted, "Conan, you're sneaking away again!"

"I don't have it. Conan said helplessly.

"Then you make things clear," Ayumi said, "and I want to help too." ”

"Of course I am. "But let's eat first." ”

Conan said, "Okay, let's talk while we eat." ”……

Soon after, a burger joint.

Conan drew the picture with a crayon, and after reading it, Gray Yuan smiled and said, "Our great detective is only at the level of a child." ”

"Or you will draw. Conan snapped up.

Gray Yuan clasped his hands and said, "I didn't promise you to do such a thing. ”

"Alright. Ayumi said, "Conan, tell me what clues you've found." ”

Conan pointed to the signature pattern in the lower left corner and said, "You also heard in the Yan Mansion just now, this is painted by Qiu Fu looking at the real thing, that is to say, Qiu Fu is in the place where he can see this real thing." ”

Gray Yuan asked, "But doesn't it mean that there are not a few places in this place?"

Conan said: "Akio is usually an ordinary child, and he doesn't wear conspicuous clothes when he goes to the door to buy things, but that's how he was abducted, and the amount of money extorted by this gangster is one billion yen, which can only show that this gangster doesn't know where to know that Akio is a child of a rich family, and has been tracking and monitoring him after deciding to commit a crime, which means that the gangster should know where Akio's kindergarten is." ”

Gray Plains asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?" said Conan, "the gangsters know where Akio's kindergarten is, and the same signature pattern appears on Akio's painting that he drew in kindergarten. ”

"So, do you think that the safest place that the gangsters think is the most dangerous place, and take Akio to hide somewhere near his kindergarten. ”

"Yes," said Conan, "it's okay in the afternoon anyway, just go and check it out." ”

Yuan Tai said, "Okay, then we'll find him." ”

Conan advised: "Let's say it first, we are only responsible for finding the place of imprisonment, and if we find it, we must not act rashly." ”

"Yes. "Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi should say.

Gray Yuan asked. "So, do you know where that water tower is?"

Conan said, "I know, it's Water Tower Park. ”

"We know that too. Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi said.

"Let's go, then. Gray Yuan said. ……

After that, Conan and the five of them searched separately, but found the person who Shi Feng had kept him in a suspicious place, so they discussed it by using the detective badge.

Yuan Tai said: "I don't think we can help anymore, let's do it by hand." ”

"Motota!" Ayumi said dissatisfied.

Mitsuhiko said, "But we really don't need to look any further. ”

Gray Yuan asked, "Mr. Detective, what do you say?"

Conan said, "Let's go to Water Tower Park first." ”

Ayumi said, "Okay, I have a convenience store here, I'll buy some drinks for everyone." ”……

Ayumi came out of the convenience store and saw a man about thirty years old in the parking space in front of the stationery store open the door and get out of the car, with a clown mask on the passenger seat, so he waited for the man to enter the stationery store, went up and leaned on the glass to look carefully, and found that it was exactly the same as Conan's drawing, and hurriedly used the detective badge to contact the others, and at the same time went to put the drink next to the roadside trash can.

"Everyone, I found the prisoner, he has a clown mask, and he came to the stationery store to buy something, and now I'm going to follow him. Ayumi said as she opened the back door of the car and got in.

"Don't go, Ayumi!" called Conan.

"Ayumi, come back!" shouted Ashbara.

"Danger, Ayumi!" Mitsuhiko shouted.

"Ayumi!" called Motota.

At this time, the man came out of the stationery store, and Ayumi said: "He's here, he also bought drawing paper, the prisoner must be him, let's contact later." After saying that, he cut off the call and hid under his seat. ……

On the other side, Conan and the four were shocked to find out that Ayumi had cut off the call, and Gray Yuan shouted, "Conan, immediately track Ayumi's badge with your glasses." ”

Conan said, "I know, I don't need to say it. After speaking, he turned on the tracking function on his glasses and found that Ayumi was moving south, "I'll go first, you are optimistic about the two of them." ”

"I will. Gray Yuan said.

"Hey, Conan, you can't go alone. Mitsuhiko said.

"I'm going too. Yuan Tai said.

"Shut up for me, I won't know where I'm going by the time I'm with you. Gray Yuan shouted, "Honestly let me go to the Water Tower Park to meet." ”

"Yes. Mitsuhiko and Motota responded in frustration, and then said together, "Conan, you must save Ayumi." ”

Conan said, "Don't worry, I will." ”……

On the other side, Ayumi.

Ayumi hid in the car in fear, and after thinking about it, she didn't understand how much time had passed, and in short, she didn't come back to her senses until the man stopped and got out of the car.

Ayumi breathed a sigh of relief, then heard the shutter door open, and the sound of the shutter door being released, judging what building he had entered, and came out from under his seat.

Ayumi found the car parked in an abandoned workshop, looked around and found that it was a rice painting workshop, and hurriedly used the detective badge to contact others.

Conan whispered, "Ayumi, I'm in the taxi right now, I'll be there right away, find a place to hide before I arrive." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "Let's go over right away, Ayumi, you have to wait for us." ”

Yuan Tai said, "Ayumi, you have to be careful. ”

Gray Yuan said: "Ayumi, you cut off the connection first so as not to be heard. ”

"Good. Ayumi said, and then cut off the contact, and then looked around, and got out of the car after confirming that no one was there, and didn't want the shutter door to be pulled up, and his face turned white with fright, and then he found that it was Haruko Oda who came out, and he was stunned for a while.

"You again?" asked Haruko Oda, with a headache.

"That ......" Ayumi was embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, a little boy walked out from behind Haruko Oda, "Little sister, are you also here to find me?"

"Akio, you are Akio. Ayumi smiled happily.

"Yes, I'm Yan Qiufu, and I'm five years old this year. Yan Qiufu said.

"It's great that you're okay. Ayumi said happily.

Yan Qiufu blinked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"He didn't know he was being abducted. Haruko Oda laughed.

"Huh?" Ayumi was surprised.

Oda Haruko said: "Since Ayumi is here, let's talk with Akio for a while, and we will leave later." ”

"Good. Ayumi said.

At this time, a taxi stopped at the door, and Conan jumped down from it, "Ayumi!"

"Conan. Ayumi shouted happily, and then pointed to Yan Qiufu beside him and said, "The one next to me is Qiufu." ”

At this time, the taxi driver stuck his head out of the car and shouted to Conan, "Hey, little ghost, don't run, the car is the money." ”

Conan reluctantly stopped and turned around and said, "Mr. Driver, didn't I tell you just now?" When I get to the place, I will get out of the car, and then I will be back soon, please be patient." ”

The driver said, "One yard to one yard, you pay the money just now, and you will be counted as 3,100 yen in total." ”

At this time, another taxi came, and Gray Plain, Motota, and Mitsuhiko got down from it, and Conan hurriedly said: "Ayumi is over there, Motota, Mitsuhiko, you go first, Gray Plain, you come over for a while." ”

Motota and Mitsuhiko went to look for Ayumi, and Ashbara stepped forward to Conan and asked, "What's the matter?" and looked at the taxi driver.

Conan whispered, "Please, do me a favor, three thousand one hundred yen, today is the end of the month, I'll give it to you tomorrow." ”

Gray Plains smiled and held out a finger, "Ishei." ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, "Don't be so ruthless, right? It's just a day." ”

Gray Plains shrugged, "If you don't want to, forget it." ”

"Okay, okay. Conan gritted his teeth and said, "One achievement, one success." ”……
