In Hakone Town, outside of a rental warehouse, Kudo Shinichi searched for several locations, and this is the last of five possible locations.

Looking at the time on the phone, it was almost midnight, Kudo Shinichi thought about the phone call from Takato before, thought for a moment, and ran in without hesitation.

However, before entering the warehouse, Kudo Shinichi stopped, looked calm, and said, "Is it really you?" Mai Nishida! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Mai Nishida, who was standing behind him at this time.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi's serious expression, Mai Nishida paused, then smiled, walked leisurely, and walked in front of Kudo Shinichi.

"What a coincidence. What are you doing here? ”

"You're waiting here to make sure."

Kudo Shinichi said, "Let's see if I can find Xiaolan and them at the last moment." to see if you can be killed by a bomb along with me. ”

"Bombs? What the hell are you talking about? ”

Mai Nishida said with a puzzled expression.

"Don't play dumb."

Kudo Shinichi said, "Give Xiaolan back to me." Your companions have all been caught! ”

And Mai Nishida ignored Kudo Shinichi at all, with an indifferent expression, walked to Kudo Shinito's side, and said, "You have been saying very rude things since just now, as if you treat me as a prisoner." Haven't you watched the news? As reported in the news just now, the real prisoner is the captain of the ship, Mr. Dong, who has committed suicide! ”

"Hey, kill yourself? Could it be that Mr. Dong is the prisoner? ”

Listening to Mai Nishida's words, Kudo Shinichi said with a surprised expression.

"I even have a suicide note, I can't go wrong."

Mai Nishida said, "Your reasoning is wrong. ”

Hearing this, Shinichi Kudo smiled.

"Miss Mai, you didn't admit yourself just now. How do you know that Mr. Dong wrote a suicide note? ”

"I said it, it ...... in the news just now."

"That's impossible, because the suicide note was taken by me before the police arrived!"

Shinichi Kudo interrupted Mai Nishida's words and took out the letter from his pocket that he had taken from Tobuno's house.

"Moreover, the content of the news report just now was specially released after I discussed with the police, and it is absolutely impossible to mention the suicide note!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Mai Nishida's expression changed and she began to be a little nervous.

"Let me start at the beginning."

Shinichi Kudo said, "I was wrong from the beginning, I thought that the prisoner who wrote me the challenge was a person, but it wasn't. This is a bunch of despicable criminals, orchestrated, vengeance against me! But alas, these prisoners made a big mistake - I also have reliable partners! ”

"Partner?"

Mai Nishida looked at Kudo Shinichi puzzled and said.

"That's right, buddy."

Kudo Shinichi said, "My partner found out that this incident was a joint operation of multiple criminals, so after helping me investigate the incident, he went into hiding, and noticed that Mr. Minamida and Mr. Kitajima were suspicious, and there was a person hiding behind the scenes. ”

After a pause, Shinichi Kudo continued.

"Although there is no evidence, but under the circumstances at that time, the remaining Mr. Dong and Miss Mai may be the person behind the scenes, so my companion followed Mr. Dong and saw the scene where Mr. Nanda threatened Mr. Dong. If this kind of thing happens, then, Mr. Dong is definitely not your accomplice, so if you are suspicious, only Miss Mai is left! ”

As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi took out the letter and displayed it in front of Mai Nishida on the back, and through the moonlight, he saw the arrow sandwiched between "A" and "Am".

“i am a kidnaper。 But if you look in the direction of this arrow, 'i am', it becomes 'ma i (Mai)', a kidnaper ma i. In other words, Mai-san, you are the kidnapper. ”

Kudo Shinichi said, "At that time, my partner didn't have time to inform me of the incident because his mobile phone was out of battery, so he used this suicide note written by you to threaten Mr. Higashi, and left me a reminder to investigate Miss Mai's matter. So, I asked the familiar police department to investigate the matter about you, and it turned out that you were the girlfriend of the arrested male prisoner who had helped the police solve a case that I had helped the police solve before. ”

Speaking of this, Mai Nishida looked relieved, and stopped pretending more.

"Now that it's all come to this, there's no point in me continuing to deny it. But tell me how we kidnapped your two friends. ”

"You took Xiaolan away, the method you used is very simple, but it is also very despicable!"

Kudo Shinichi said angrily, "You used the safety of the garden to threaten Xiaolan, and prepared the key to the hall lock and the clothes of the hotel attendant for her in advance, so that she could leave the hotel by herself and go to the location you designated at the time of the announcement." When the time comes, you can go to the designated place to take Xiaolan away. ”

"And you took even greater pains to kidnap the garden."

Kudo Shinichi said, "You used the ignition at the stern of the ship to make the sound of falling into the water, and in fact, the garden was hidden by you in the warehouse cabinet long before that. And the shards of glass I found in the cabinet today bear witness to my thoughts. When you have fainted the garden, you put it in the cupboard, and then you put a huge mirror diagonally over the garden, so that when you open the chest, you will see it as if you were looking at an empty cupboard. And you only have to wait for the boat to dock afterwards, and you can find an opportunity to take the garden with you. ”

Hearing this, Mai Nishida smiled smugly.

"Of course, this is actually a clue that you deliberately wanted me to think so."

Kudo Shinichi suddenly changed the topic, and Mai Nishida's face immediately became a little ugly.

"Because my companion said that yesterday, there was no glass shard in the cabinet, and it should be your companion who deliberately went there last night to leave the shard, and wanted me to think like this. You deliberately left two layers of false clues to cover up the methods you actually used to take the garden with you! Because, once the modus operandi is exposed, your other companion will also be exposed! ”

Looking at Mai Nishida, whose expression became ugly, Kudo Shinichi continued:

"Because your methods are terrifyingly simple! It was to lock the garden in a closed box, and then put an oxygen cylinder in the box to ensure the garden's breathing, and then throw the box directly into the lake! The sound of falling into the water heard on the boat at that time was actually the real sound of a box containing a garden falling into the water! And afterwards, the police dived into the bottom of the lake to investigate, but they didn't find anything, because your other accomplice is the police, Officer Tamagawa! ”

After a pause, Kudo Shinichi said: "Your boyfriend is a rental warehouse, and he committed the crime of reselling guns because he was in debt and needed money urgently. However, in the end, he died in prison before he could confess the source of the gun. In fact, the gun he resold was, on the police record, a scrapped gun for the police, and the person behind him was a policeman! ”

"That's right. Officer Tamagawa. ”

Mai Nishida said indifferently, "I found evidence in his relics that could accuse Officer Tamagawa of illegally handling scrapped guns, so I used this evidence to threaten him to assist me." Tamagawa was also worried that sooner or later, you would find out about him, so he agreed to this cooperation, and Kitajima and Nanda were originally working for Tamagawa. ”

"There's no time! Where's Xiaolan! ”

Shinichi Kudo shouted as he looked at the little time left.

Mai Nishida turned around and looked at Shinichi Kudo, without saying much, her right hand came out of her pocket, holding a gun, and pointed straight at Shinichi Kudo.

"Actually, they were arrested, and it doesn't matter to me."

Mai Nishida said coldly, "As long as you die, it's enough!" ”

"Even if you do, you can't escape!"

Looking at Mai Nishida's attitude, Kudo Shinichi shook his head and said.

"I didn't plan to run away in the first place."

Mai Nishida threatened.

"You're not looking for that girl, are you? Walk! ”

With that, Mai Nishida pointed a gun at Shinichi Kudo, told him to walk forward, and took him to a warehouse.

The warehouse was two stories high, and the windows around it were not boarded, except for a skylight overhead. Then, in the warehouse, Maolilan was seen fainting on the ground.

"Xiaolan!"

Seeing Xiaolan fall there, Kudo Shin didn't care about it again and again, and rushed directly up and helped her up.

Mai Nishida, on the other hand, locked the door of the warehouse with a very thick iron chain, threw the key to the ground, and turned the muzzle of the gun to the key.

"Alright, the three of us, let's die together!"

With that, a shot was fired, breaking the only key.

At the same time, Takato and Kogoro had already rediscovered the police department, and they had just come here when they heard a gunshot.

"What's going on! Did the kidnappers shoot? ”

Yokogou shouted.

"Sure enough, you're still impulsive!"

Takato anxiously got out of the car and ran straight inside, while Kogoro also rushed to the gate of the warehouse where the gunshots had just been heard, trying to open the locked door.

"Xiaolan! Detective Kid! ”

However, even if I tried my best, I couldn't pull it.

Gao Yuan looked at the next side of this warehouse, like a few lower warehouses lined up in a staircase, and thought for a while: "I'll climb up and take a look!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the "star", lengthened the chain edge, and used the chain to borrow the power to climb up to the roof of the warehouse where the gunshots rang out.

In the warehouse, looking at Mai Nishida, who destroyed the key, Kudo Shinichi put down Xiaolan, who was still unconscious in his arms, got up slowly, and said, "Stop the precipice." Hate your boyfriend if you want to hate, don't get us involved! ”

"He has sinned, and indeed he is wrong."

Holding the gun in both hands and aiming it at Kudo Shinichi, Mai Nishida said with some sadness:

"But, I love him! If it weren't for the power of this resentment, I wouldn't know how to live without him! ”

"Then please, at least let Xiaolan go!"

Kudo Shinichi knew that he couldn't be dissuaded by words, and seemed to beg for mercy, "She's my most important person!" My life, I can give it to you! ”

"Do you know why I ended up locking her up here? Just because she is the person you cherish the most, if you are allowed to die alone, then she is too pitiful! If she is left behind, she will become like me, and she can only live like a ghost. ”

Mai Nishida said, feeling a little sad.

"Xiaolan is not such a fragile person."

"Really? If you disappear, she'll definitely change. No matter what happens, we will never leave ......"

As she spoke, Mai Nishida seemed to fall into a memory, and her hands holding the gun were a little slackened for a while. Shinichi Kudo wanted to take this opportunity to take away her gun, but Mai Nishida reacted immediately and pointed the gun at Shinichi Kudo again.

"Mai Nishida! It's all over! ”

Suddenly, Takato's voice came from the skylight on the roof, and involuntarily, Mai Nishida raised her head and looked in the direction of the skylight—I saw that on her right eye, Takato, who was wearing a pair of monocles, was looking at her straight at this time.

And Kudo Shinichi immediately took this opportunity to snatch the pistol from Mai Nishida's hand.

"Star", originally called "Detective's monocle", mentioned in the effect that "when you put on these glasses and start reasoning, everyone you are looking at will temporarily stop their actions and focus on you", this is also the first time Takato has used this effect, although it is only for a moment, but Takato uses it to divert Mai Nishida's attention and create an opportunity for Kudo Shinichi.

Faced with such a situation, Mai Nishida knew that the general trend was gone, fell to her knees, and cried.

And Kudo Shinichi immediately ran to the table next to him, looking at the bombs that were tied to the table with iron chains, and there were few bombs left at the right time.

With the nails placed on the table, the shell of the bomb was pried open, and the scene in front of him made Kudo Shinichi completely dumbfounded - "It's all white lines!" ”

"Damn! Which one should be cut! ”

Kudo Shinichi said urgently-it's obvious that it's come to this point!

"It didn't work to cut that one, I didn't intend to stop it in the first place!"

There is weakness, Mai Nishida said.

Looking at this bomb with no mercury mercury and only two activation methods, timed and remote control, Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment, then immediately picked up the gun, broke the chain that tied the bomb, and then picked up the bomb and looked up at the skylight.

"Mr. Wise! Please! ”

Shouting, Shinichi Kudo kicked the bomb into the skylight with his foot.

"How dare you think about it!"

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's movements, Takato broke out in a cold sweat, understood his plan, took the "star" off his right eye, and threw the chain side length again, then Takato stepped aside, pinched one end of the star-shaped ornament with his hand, and then shook the end of the glasses and used it to wrap the bomb that was kicked out of the skylight.

Looking at the countdown of the last few seconds, Gao Yuan did not have time to hesitate, used the chain to extend the length of the swing, threw the bomb into the sky hard, and after falling to the highest point, loosened the chain that tied the bomb, and let the bomb be thrown vertically into the sky!

Then Gao Yuan immediately ran away, and when he heard the explosion of the bomb, he immediately fell to the ground.

Huge sparks exploded in the sky, but fortunately the explosion was high enough that no one was hurt.

"After reasoning, start closing the case"

"Comprehensive Evaluation of Case Closed: A"

"Logic: S"

"Observation: A"

"Boldness: A"

"After the settlement is completed, the overall score reaches A, and the reward is 40"

"This case is too difficult, an additional bounty of 200 will be added, and an additional bounty of 160 will be awarded for achieving a comprehensive score of A"

"Detective Rating: Assistant Detective"

[Bounty: 770]

Got up and looked at the reward on the settlement panel this time, the extra bounty of 100, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of this event, but at the same time, Gao Yuan raised his head and saw that in the sky, not far from the location of the bomb explosion, a faintly visible white glider suddenly flew by!

"Hello? No way. ”

Slightly speechless, Gao Yuan said helplessly in his heart.

Soon, Officer Henggou Chongwu took the police officers, took the cutting machine, opened the door of the warehouse, and rescued a few people who were locked inside. And Dong Bangfu, who was rescued by Gao Yuan before, was also rescued.

"Thanks to you, Mr. Wise."

At that time, on the way back, sitting in the car rented by Kogoro, Kudo Shinichi thanked Takato.

"You're welcome, but you're still too impulsive in the end."

Gao Yuan said helplessly, sighed, and fell asleep in the car - although he didn't reach the "S", the bounty value obtained this time was really worth it.

It's just that I didn't expect that the day after I got home and charged my phone, Gao Yuan received a text message bombardment from Black Feather Kuaidou!
