Chapter 245: Mysterious Tom
"Of course I know where Shinichi is."
"Where is he?"
……
"Conan, what are you doing!"
Just when Xia Ruo and Xiaolan were talking to the critical moment, Maori Kogoro suddenly shouted and interrupted the conversation between the two.
It turned out that Conan suddenly found a clue and rode the big dog in the courtyard alone, and rushed out of the courtyard to find the lost little girl, but it was too dangerous for him to ride a dog out like this.
"Xiaolan, don't stay there, hurry up and chase that dog and Conan!"
Mori Kogoro shouted at Xiaoran, who was standing aside.
"Okay, Dad."
Xiaolan glanced at Xia Ruo, although there were many things she wanted to ask, but it seemed that she didn't have time now, so Xiaolan also rushed out to follow Conan's traces.
And Xia Ruo stood quietly in place, and he had already arranged for Tom to keep an eye on Conan, so Xia Ruo was not very worried about Conan's safety.
In person at the scene, Xia Ruo also noticed that Conan was almost unabashedly active when he solved the case, and when there was no hypnotic needle, when Conan reminded Maori Kogoro, it was really obvious to the extreme.
It's hard to understand that Conan went on like this for more than a thousand episodes without being exposed.
But this is the world of Conan, which has its own worldview setting, and it can't be applied to common sense, and Xia Ruo has nothing to say.
……
At this time, on Conan's side, he is riding a dog alone to find the kidnapped little girl.
The dog that Conan rides is a large dog owned by a wealthy man, and he usually doesn't get close to strangers, but at this time, he is obediently trained by Conan with the dog taming techniques he learned in Hawaii.
The reasoning process of this kidnapping case is that Conan uses the robber's phone call and then deduces the little girl's hiding place.
It was learned from the phone that the place where the little girl was kidnapped was a school, and that the chimneys could be seen, and that all the schools where the chimneys could be seen had appeared in Conan's mind.
Conan, who was riding on the big dog, analyzed all the way, but according to his analysis, he found two wrong locations, and it seemed that he had ignored some information.
At this moment, Conan suddenly felt his right shoulder sink, as if something had fallen on his shoulder.
Conan turned his head to look, and suddenly met a pair of big eyes.
"Meow~"
"Cats? It's Xia Ruo's cat, how did this cat get here," Conan remembered, the cat seemed to be called Tom.
Although there was some confusion as to why the cat had been following him, Conan did not leave it here, but let it stay on his shoulder.
"I have found all the chimneys, but why can't I find them?" Conan was in a quandary.
"Meow~"
"Huh?"
Conan heard the cat's meow and looked up at Tom on his shoulder, where he noticed that the kitten had stretched out its little paws and pointed to a building not far away.
"Buildings? Wait a minute, isn't it ......?"
Click-
It seemed that a bolt of lightning struck the back of Conan's head, and Conan thought of something.
Tom was not referring to an ordinary building, but to a special building, which had windows on only one side, and was completely dark on the other, and narrow, and looked like a vertical chimney from a distance.
"That's it, from the side, she thinks of the building as a chimney, from this angle, the school that can see the building as a chimney is, Second Bridge Middle School!"
Finally found a clue, Conan immediately asked the dog under him to rush towards Futhashi Middle School, but Conan also noticed another strange thing.
Conan glanced sideways at the cat on his shoulder.
"Strange, this cat? It's reminding me ......"
I don't know why, Conan suddenly remembered the scene where he had just found a clue and reminded Mori Kogoro.
……
In the school's warehouse, the kidnapper communicated with the rich man again, and also made an agreement with the other party to send the money to the designated location, but the moment he put down the phone, the kidnapper's eyes revealed a fierce light.
"Now that the business has been negotiated, you have no use value."
The kidnapper took a dagger and slowly walked in front of the little girl, who had no intention of leaving the hostages alive.
The little girl trembled as she looked at the robbers who were slowly approaching her.
"Meow!"
At this moment, a cat suddenly appeared in front of the robbers, this cat was Tom who accompanied Conan, but it was faster than Conan, and arrived here one step earlier.
"Where did the wildcats come from!"
The robber tried to kick the cat at his feet, but the cat did first, and its small claws seemed to kick lightly into the robber's calf.
Click.
There seemed to be a broken bone.
It's obviously a skinny cat, but the strength is unexpectedly terrifying.
"Ahh
It was a scream of great pain, and the robber felt as if he had been hit by a hammer in his calf, his bones were kicked off, and his body could not help but fall.
Tom grabbed his hand and gave him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Boom!
This can no longer be regarded as an over-the-shoulder fall, it should be directly grabbed by his hand and lifted up, fell to the ground, and the strong impact directly made the robber faint.
Tom yawned as if relaxed.
Tom had learned magic in the soup house, swordsmanship in Demon Slayer, and now he is a superhuman cat, a mere robber, and he really doesn't take it seriously.
The tied little girl looked at Tom in shock, but her mouth was sealed, so she couldn't make a sound.
Tom glanced at the little girl and jumped out of the window.
……
"Uh...... What is this? ”
When Conan arrived at the scene, he found that the robber had fallen to the ground and was foaming at the mouth, and he didn't even know who did it. But the hostages are safe, and that's the best news.
Conan stepped forward and untied the little girl's rope and the tape from her mouth.
"Are you alright?"
"Who are you?" The little girl asked, looking at Conan.
"My name is Kudo...... My name is Conan Edogawa and I'm a detective. ”
Conan said that he had leaked his mouth at first, but then quickly changed it back, and Conan was very curious about the situation at the scene, so he asked the little girl, "Who saved you?" ”
"It's Mr. Kitty," the little girl said with a little excitement, "it's a very powerful Mr. Kitty." ”
"Cats?" Conan suddenly remembered Tom who reminded him before, on the way here, the other party disappeared, but, how did the cat knock down an adult, and what was the identity of the cat?
Conan suddenly became interested in Tom.
Soon, Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan also rushed over, and the rich man's daughter was safe and sound, and the case was successfully resolved. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
