Chapter 30: The Hatred of the Gone
In order not to be discovered, Conan infiltrated the martial arts house. In the previous meeting room, he heard a commotion.
"What now!? President! Seeing President Takei, who was still hesitating, Miss Hanai shouted excitedly.
"But, is Naoko really alive?" He hesitated. "But in the photo sent by the gangsters, isn't Naoko really holding today's newspaper?"
"But ......" Seeing that he was still hesitant, Hanai couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Miss Naoko, she has always believed in it, and I believe that the president will definitely save her!"
"But if you want to come up with 500 million yuan like this, the company will ......" "What about it!?" "Without these 500 million yuan, the company will go bankrupt!"
"But which one is more important than this Naoko lady!?" "This, of course, is Naoko's importance!"
"Then what are you still hesitating about, president!?" But before he could answer, Conan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, made a noise because he fell from under the sculpture.
The two of them, attracted by the sound of falling to the ground, immediately ran out, and then saw Conan, who had not yet had time to hide.
In order to prevent Conan from leaking the matter, President Takei had Miss Hanai lock him up in her room.
Looking at Conan, she couldn't help but think of her dead brother. From the words in her mouth, in connection with the previous discovery, Conan understood everything.
First the wetsuit found yesterday on the yacht, and then the blank mark on her wrist.
This kidnapping incident is the result of Miss Hanai directing and acting alone. Conan, who had thought about this, escaped through the window with a sheet just after Miss Hanai left.
After going out, Conan told Kogoro everything. So he arranged for someone and began to investigate.
It turns out that Miss Hanai's father, who was also the president of a company before, went bankrupt due to a hostile takeover by President Takei.
After that, her parents took her brother to commit suicide, leaving her alone in this world.
Out of revenge, she changed her name and surname to enter President Takei's company and became his secretary.
By the time I knew this, it was already dark. At the same time, President Takei and Miss Hanai went out, and they were going to make another deal with the kidnappers.
Kogoro immediately followed Conan, and finally came to the warehouse of an abandoned factory.
Seeing the empty place, President Takei couldn't help but complain. "Why haven't you come yet, it's too slow!"
"Actually, people have already come!" As Miss Hanai spoke, she hit President Takei hard with a suitcase containing money and newspapers.
President Takei, who was attacked, fell directly to the ground, because he suddenly hit his foot, and he couldn't stand up for a while.
"Hanai! What are you doing? My feet are twisted! He shouted angrily at Miss Hanai.
But she did what she was doing on her own, and poured the gasoline that had been placed here in her hand on President Takei's body.
At the same time, she also said her identity, originally after she met Naoko in the martial arts family, she felt very sorry for her.
Naoko has lacked maternal love since she was a child because of her mother's illness. In addition, her father has a bad temper and is busy with company affairs and doesn't care much about her.
For such a straight son, Miss Hanai takes very good care of her. Over time, she also regarded Miss Hanai as her sister.
Faced with such a situation, she hesitated even more. If she kills President Takei in revenge, what will Naoko do?
But the death of her parents and younger brother tortured her heart all the time. In the end, she decided to give President Takei an almost deal, and put the choice in his hands.
She directed and starred in a kidnapping case in which Naoko Takei was tied up and locked up in an abandoned factory.
She told President Takei about Naoko's kidnapping, and pretended to be a kidnapper to warn him not to call the police, but he turned around and notified the police.
So in the process of trading, she designed to sink the gangster's car into the river, pretending to be dead to divert the attention of the police.
She needs President Takei to make a choice, whether to choose the 500 million yuan related to the survival of the company, or the safety of Naoko.
But in the end, he still couldn't give up the company, and decided to use the newspaper to make up the number and make a deal with the gangsters, which also made Miss Hanai decide to kill him to avenge his parents and younger brother.
Seeing this, Kogoro's Conan immediately rushed in front of her. "Sister Hanai, please stop!"
"Conan! Mr. Maori! "Obviously, she was very surprised by the appearance of the two." Miss Hanai, do you want the hatred to continue!? ”
"If you kill President Takei, how will Naoko feel! It's her father, after all! ”
In the face of Conan's persuasion, she suddenly remembered her brother, and then recalled the pain of being tormented by hatred over the years.
Thinking of this, she took Conan into her arms and cried bitterly. 's love for Naoko made her unable to do it after all.
Then the police came to take Miss Hanai away, and before that, they also found Naoko under her guidance.
Because of years of familiarity, Naoko had already guessed that her kidnapper was Miss Hanai, but she didn't blame her.
She was very sad that she was taken away by the police, the two hugged each other tightly and cried, seeing the appearance of the two at this time, President Takei also knelt on the ground weakly.
The case is over here, but Kogoro is not over yet, and when he investigated President Takei's company before, he found a lot of illegal places.
So he handed over the evidence to the police, so President Takei was also fined a large sum of money and had to sit in a cell for a while.
Miss Hanai, on the other hand, was involved in kidnapping and attempted intentional homicide, but due to the will of Naoko, the client, the lawsuit was cancelled.
And President Takei, who finally came to his senses, did not pursue it further. So her sentence is not too long.
Miss Hanai, who was later released from prison, found Naoko Takei again and took care of her like a sister.
Under her temporary management, the company has been revitalized and slowly grown again.
At this point, Kogoro completely let go of their future lives and put his mind on cooking again.
However, he realized later that as long as Conan was still in his house for a day, he would not want to have any peaceful life.
On the evening of this day, the three Kogoro who were walking home from the street came to a rather familiar road.
Seeing this, Conan suddenly became excited, he pointed to the house of a householder, and shouted to the father and daughter. "This is John's house!"
