Chapter 357: Clown Puppet Challenge
On the evening of the 16th, the day after Reika Hasami was kidnapped, the sunset in a certain forest and mountainous area reflected the sunset on the horizon red.
Reika Hayami stood anxiously by the window of the cabin, standing on tiptoe trying to break the wooden frame.
"That clown...... Even if we take the ransom, they won't necessarily let us go......"
The agent, Mr. Yasuoka, is still in the wooden house next door, and I don't know how it is now, so it seems that there has been no movement......
"What are you doing?!" The door to the cabin slammed open, and the clown roared angrily, "Did I tell you? I'll kill you if I try to escape!! ”
"Yikes!"
Reika Hasami didn't have time to escape, and was dragged by the clown, her long hair slammed into the wall, and she fainted to the ground.
"Humph!"
The clown closed the door again, took out the phone and said, "Something went wrong, and the detective actually saw through the counterfeit money at once...... What's next? Why get a detective? ”
"It's okay, there will always be some surprises in the official performance," chuckled on the other side of the phone, "just follow the plan, and it will go smoothly later." ”
……
On the morning of the 17th, at nearly 7 o'clock, Gao Cheng walked to Zhongyuan Station with a suitcase containing a ransom of 100 million.
Because of the counterfeit banknotes, he finally had to borrow 100 million from the Suzuki family first, but he didn't expect that the president of Kazuki secretly called the police despite the warnings of the gangsters.
His gaze swept over Officer Twilight and the others who were watching around the station, and a trace of sweat flowed from Gao Cheng's forehead.
Yesterday, the gangster called again and demanded to pay the ransom at 7 a.m. today, just north of the Central Plains Station, where he is now, next to a public phone booth with a green window.
The gangsters also specially explained that he brought a bouquet of blood-red roses as a symbol......
He still remembers the original Dead Bone Magic Train incident vividly, especially the Blood Rose Magic Trick performed by Gao Yuanyaoyi, the blood-red rose seems to have become the symbol of the other party.
If this kidnapping case is really Gao Yuanyao's act, it means that he will have to confront this high-IQ criminal head-on.
According to the police investigation, Gao Yuanyaoyi's IQ is likely to exceed 300......
A high IQ does not necessarily mean how powerful it is, but it is far away from a high ability to match the IQ, and it is used in crime.
Gao Cheng looked closely at the passers-by around him.
Although he won the magic train last time, to a large extent, Gao Yuanyao didn't take him to heart from the beginning, this time he must be up to twelve points of spirit, if there is a case, Akami Hayami really can't be saved......
"Brother Chenghu......" Officer Twilight and the others nervously looked at Gao Cheng by the phone booth, as the second hand turned the time kept approaching 7 o'clock, they all held their breath, and even could clearly hear their own heartbeat.
"Tick!"
At 7 o'clock on time, there were still no suspicious characters, but the public phone booth rang first.
Gao Cheng paused and connected the phone: "Hey? ”
"Is it Detective Joto?" The voice on the other side that has been processed by the voice changer said hoarsely, "Let's guess a mystery, next to the kiss is a person, so what is between the medium and the small?" ”
"W-What do you mean?" Gao Cheng's complexion changed.
"Hmph, it's just a simple puzzle, it should be easy for a detective, right?" The voice continued, "If this phone is equipped with a bugger, it won't work, the answer is where you go next, see you in 5 minutes!" ”
Gao Cheng's face changed again and again.
The first question stumped him......
Looking around, looking for possible locations within a 5-minute distance, the detective badge on his body suddenly sounded.
"Joto," Kudo Shimba's voice sounded, "I've heard everything Ashbara say......"
Near Nakahara Station, Conan and Gray Yuan stood on the side of the road, observing their surroundings while holding a bow transformer.
"The location is at the pharmacy across the street from the station, see?"
"Uh-huh."
When Gao Cheng saw the towering billboard, he didn't bother to ask too much, and hurried across the road to the only pharmacy.
"Mr. Joto, please go to the cashier, there is your phone ......" Gao Cheng was stopped by the radio when he ran into the store, and hurriedly grabbed the receiver tightly in the cashier's surprised gaze.
"Hey!"
"Hehe," the voice said with a hoarse smile, "next to the thumb is the index finger, and the middle finger and little finger are the ring fingers, so the answer is the pharmacy, this kind of difficult question is easy for you, right?" ”
Gao Cheng gritted his teeth: "What about you?" If you dare to hurt the hostages, I will never let you go! ”
"Hmph," the voice continued, "it depends on whether you are worthy or not, now you walk about 4 kilometers north along the avenue, and there you will take the bus to Miyanozawa Kogen at 7:20...... After getting on the bus, pay attention to the right side of the bus direction, there is a beautiful scenery waiting for you! ”
"What? 4, 4 km! ”
"You'd better hurry, this car only runs once a day, if you miss it, it won't be there!"
"Damn!"
Gao Cheng glanced at the time, ran out of the pharmacy with his suitcase, and sprinted across the congested road to the north.
I chose the time of the morning rush hour, the distance of 4 kilometers is simply terrible, usually it takes 1 hour, but now the time given to him is only a short ten minutes.
"Whew!"
The bus stop was just opposite the tram tracks, Gao Cheng rushed over with a breath, and finally saw the shuttle bus that had not yet had time to leave, but encountered the tram passing by, and the railing was lowered one step in advance to block the road.
Gao Cheng took a breath, seeing that the shuttle bus was about to leave, he jumped up directly despite the shouts of the guards, stepped on the railing and flew into the air, and narrowly brushed off with the speeding tram and landed on the opposite side.
Twilight and the others gasped for breath to catch up, only to see two trams in opposite directions passing the intersection one after another, and suddenly their hearts rose to their throats, until Gao Cheng's voice came from the headset and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, Brother Chenghu has managed to catch up," Twilight wore a communication headset in his right ear, and after confirming that Gao Cheng was safe, he said to Takagi, who was tired of becoming a dog next to him, "Let's take a taxi to keep up now, try not to let the gangsters find out!" ”
"Yes!"
On the shuttle bus to Miyanozawa Plateau, there was only one Gao Cheng except for the driver, and the whole car was empty.
After Gao Cheng confirmed the communication, he looked at the right side of the shuttle bus according to what the gangster said, and after leaving the city, it was just an ordinary mountain and forest scenery, and he couldn't see anything special.
"Brother Joto," Twilight asked, "what's going on now?" ”
Gao Cheng glanced at the driver and replied in a low voice: "I don't know for the time being, the other party asked me to look at the right side of the driving direction......"
"Huh!"
Suddenly, a line of words flashed in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, and when he looked back, he found that the highway guardrail read, "Get off the car immediately."
"Stop!"
Gao Cheng stood up abruptly and shouted at the driver, "Please stop the car!" ”
"Huh?" The driver was inexplicable, "You can't stop here!" ”
"It's too late!"
Gao Cheng urgently opened the car door, jumped out directly with the suitcase, rolled down several times in a row to stabilize his body in the driver's frightened shouts, and rushed to the guardrail where the words were written just now without stopping.
The driver stepped on the brakes and watched in horror as Gao Cheng ran back.
"It's crazy......
The shuttle bus didn't go too far, Gao Chengcai ran for a while and saw the guardrail with handwriting again, wiped his sweat but didn't see half a figure, and finally finally found a note full of spelling on the back of the guardrail.
"If you walk along the mountain road, you will see a suspension bridge over the Otaki River, so you have to arrive by 8:30!"
Gao Cheng looked at the time and found that there was exactly one hour left.
It's like torturing him to play, Rao is usually exercising, this will be a little exhausting, and he still has to rush for an hour on the mountain road, obviously the time is not enough.
"Officer Twilight," Gao Cheng looked at the mountains around him, picked up the communicator and said, "I left a note on the side of the road and told me to go to the suspension bridge over the Otaki River." ”
"That's good!" Twilight said in a deep voice, "We'll follow right away, and once we find the gangsters, try to delay a little longer!" ”
"I try."
Gao Cheng exhaled lightly.
The mountain road is another challenge, but even if the other party really wants to play him, he can't help but go over, and now he is the only one who can save the two hostages.
If you can't even save Sushui Lingxiang, how can you protect Xiao Ai from the black-clothed organization......
