Chapter 392: A Serious Detective Is Really Hard To Pretend
There is still something for the star chasers.
Seeing that Akagi Quantum mentioned "Tatsuya", his face was not ugly, and his eye circles were no longer red, and there was a tendency to follow the topic all the way, and by the way, he would chase one more detective star.
Shiraishi cleared his throat and pushed her black tea closer: "Let's get down to business, that kid is still in the kidnappers' hands." ”
Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Shiraishi added: "We checked it just now, you don't have a bug here, so you don't have to worry about the conversation being heard by others." ”
Hearing this, Akagi Quantum secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the kidnappers were not allowed to tell others, this was guessed by others, and he only added a little detail, which should not be considered a violation of the requirements.
"That's ......" Akagi Quantum sorted out the language slightly:
"Two years ago, Hero and Mamoru passed away from their parents, and since then, when Hero goes to the competition, he entrusts Mamoru to my care.
"Last night, when Xiao Shou went to sleep, I went back to my house. I came over to make breakfast this morning, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw threatening letters thrown on the floor of the entrance, as well as distress letters left by Xiao Shou. ”
Akagi Quantum worriedly took out two notes.
When Gray Yuan and Conan saw it, they were stunned at the same time - the paper of the distress letter turned out to be "convex".
I thought it was a stationery factory that was innovating, but if I looked closely, I could see that the edges of the paper were burrs, which were very uneven, as if they were torn by hand.
When Shiraishi saw the piece of paper standing in front of him, he always felt that someone was comparing his middle finger to himself.
Akagi Quantum looked at the piece of paper, and his eyes turned red again, but the reason for the redness was obviously not that he felt offended, but the content above:
[Brother.]
Bring Mamoru back to life]
The wording and grammar are a bit strange and don't seem to fit the context of the kidnapping, but it seems plausible considering that it was written down by a panicked child.
Compared to it, the threatening letter on the side is much more normal - the paper is a square, complete piece of paper, and the content is like a template copied from some "Quotations from an Ancient Kidnapper":
[Your brother is in my hands.]
If you don't want something to happen to him, you'll lose today's game
Also, you are not allowed to take time off from this game, you have to play
If you dare to call the police or find a detective, your brother will be finished]
Letters for help and letters of intimidation look a lot like that.
Gray Yuan's expression was also a little more serious, she looked at the letter closely, and then looked at the detective next to her.
- Of course, in her eyes, the "detective" here refers specifically to Shiraishi, and Conan can only be regarded as a bear child who loves to play detective games and is not light or heavy and has been stupid by aptx4869 drugs.
However, Shiraishi didn't seem to pay much attention to the two letters, and glanced at them and put them aside.
He asked something else: "Does Mamoru know to lock the door when he is at home?" Have you taught him basic safety knowledge, such as not opening the door when a stranger knocks on the door when he is only at home? ”
"I've said it all." Akagi Quantum nodded, "The hero has been getting more and more famous recently, and occasionally fanatical fans will come to the door to block him...... We have taught it carefully, and the little guard is also very sensible, never opening the door randomly, and will tell us when he goes out with friends.
"But...... I didn't expect that this time someone would pry the door directly. ”
Speaking of this, Akagi Quantum cried out loud, pulled a tissue, and covered his face: "The hero thought about moving before, but this apartment is very close to my house, and he didn't move in the end, so it's all my ......"
"It doesn't have much to do with you. This time, the 'kidnappers' should not be those fanatical fans. ”
Shiraishi stretched out a finger and turned the threatening letter Akagi Quantum had just given them in a half circle, so that it was facing the girl again: "Do those fans who blocked the door like Akagi Heroes?" Or will there be black fans who will come to the door to scold him? ”
“…… They all liked him very much, and no one cursed. Akagi Quantum showed a pair of red eyes from behind the tissue, looked at the paper on the table, and then looked at Shiraishi, vaguely feeling that it seemed to be a little off-topic.
However, the fact that Shiraishi bypassed all the illusions she created just now and cut directly to the main topic of the kidnapping left a deep impression on her. Therefore, although it was a little inexplicable, Akagi Quantum still chatted according to the topic given by Shiraishi, "...... But that doesn't excuse them from interfering with other people's lives. ”
"Of course." The detective on the other side nodded, "I'm not excusing those fans, it's just that this type of fan generally doesn't want his idol to play match-fixing, let alone deliberately let him play and lose - this is what only enemies do." ”
"Don't ransom, you want Akagi heroes to play, and you want to lose the game......
"I think there are roughly two possibilities for this, one is that the kidnapper is gambling, and he thinks that only if Akagi's Aoyama team loses, he can get a large amount of money.
"But the Qingshan team and the Gangchang team have always been on par in strength, and they can't make much money if they win, so it's not worth taking risks for these recklessness. There is obviously a game with outrageous odds next door, and if you really want to use this method to make money, it will obviously be more suitable over there.
"So this situation is ruled out for the time being, and it is more likely that there is another kind of - the person who kidnapped Mamoru has a personal vendetta with Akagi Hero, and wants to see him lose his reputation for playing match-fixing, making him ugly."
In fact, there are many other possibilities, such as a fanatical fan of the Gangchang team who is seriously ill and only has one breath left, and wants to see his team win before he dies, so his relatives tied up the younger brother of the core of the Qingshan team......
But Shiraishi knew in his heart that it wasn't those.
So he only mentioned one or two symbolically, and didn't say the rest, so as not to divert the listeners' minds any longer.
"Personal vendetta ......" Akagi Quantum muttered the word, frowning slightly.
Akagi Hero has a good temper and is cheerful, and it stands to reason that he doesn't have much chance of making enemies with others, but of course he won't be humble on the court, could it be that the kidnappers are his subordinates defeated?
Every game of Akagi Heroes, Akagi Quantum has watched.
She was counting the people who showed reluctance after losing to Akagi Hero on her fingers, when she suddenly heard Shiraishi say again: "That person may be more familiar with Mamoru - the kind of acquaintance that can knock on the door of the house." Combining these two characteristics, do you have the right person in mind? ”
“…… Familiar with Mamoru ?! Akagi Quantum was shocked.
The kidnappers obviously broke into the door, why did the detective on the opposite side ask such a question, and deliberately emphasized that "they can knock on the door"?
Bai Shi met her puzzled gaze and nodded: "As soon as possible, even if it is an acquaintance, it doesn't mean that he has no intention of killing the hostages." ”
Akagi Quantum still couldn't believe it.
The adults who are familiar with Xiao Shou are all friends of her or Akagi Hero...... How could a friend do such a thing?
But at this time, the phrase "personal vendetta" crossed his mind again, and Akagi Quantum jumped out of his heart.
She was a little hesitant, but she was obviously not the only one who was thinking about Baishi's words.
- When Akagi was debating whether to say it or not, she heard the glasses elementary school student next to her suddenly call out a name: "Naoki Uemura!" ”
Followed by the elementary school student's mouth closed one by one, crackling and spitting out a string of popular science: "He and Akagi Hero used to be golden partners in the high school team, and they won the national competition. This year, after graduating, the two joined the Tokyo Aoyama team together, but not long after joining the team, Naoki Uemura had an accidental collision with Akagi Hero during training and suffered a serious leg injury......"
Speaking of this, Conan suddenly thought of something.
