44 Places where the ransom was delivered
"I'm Ran. Ah, Daddy of the Garden. Well, Mr. Wise is right next to me. ”
Picking up the phone, after Xiaolan heard the content of the call, she said so and handed the phone to Gao Yuan.
"I'm wise."
Takato took the phone and talked to Sonoko Suzuki's father for a while.
"I see."
After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone and returned the phone to Xiaolan.
"What did Uncle say?"
Xiaolan asked anxiously.
"I must have said that if the situation is not good, please ask Mr. Detective to negotiate with the kidnappers and save his daughter's life first."
Miki Noguchi said disdainfully.
"That's not right."
Gao Yuan said lightly:
"Chairman Suzuki said that just because Sonoko is the daughter of the Suzuki family, we can't just focus on the safety of Sonoko's life, and we must not let the kidnappers escape justice. It is also said that if Miss Yuri's ransom is not enough, the Suzuki family can prepare. ”
"What!"
Miki Noguchi said in surprise.
In this regard, Officer Twilight, Miwako, and Wataru Takagi heard Takato's relay, and their eyes became firm as if they had been given a booster.
"Kamoshida, quickly take out all the best diamonds of the Noguchi family, there's nothing to be stingy about. Prepare the best diamonds for me, and as soon as the kidnappers open the box, they will immediately put Yuri-sama and Sonoko back. ”
It seemed that he had been stimulated by hearing Takato's relay, and Miki Noguchi couldn't help but command.
"Yes!"
Kamoshida responded happily, bowed deeply to Miki Noguchi, and left the scene to prepare the diamond.
When everyone heard Miki Noguchi say this, they were originally a little worried, but they were all relieved.
In this regard, looking at the box specially prepared by the kidnappers in front of him, Wataru Takagi pondered:
"Do you want to put a tracker in the box?"
"It's better not to."
Gao Yuan rejected this proposal:
"Since the kidnappers have designated this box to hold the diamonds, they have obviously prepared in advance, and if you put other things in it, when the kidnappers take the diamonds and weigh the boxes, it is easy to detect the suspicious things that the police have put in inside."
Hearing Gao Yuan say this, the police also chose to give up this method.
However, after saying this, Takato stood aside and looked thoughtfully at Miki Noguchi, who was still here. Noticing Gao Yuan's gaze, Gray Yuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"You just persuaded the police not to put trackers in the box, but there is actually another reason."
"I have some ideas, but I can't be sure yet, I have to find someone first."
Gao Yuan thought about it and replied in a low voice.
Soon, an hour later, Kamoshida arrived at the lounge with diamonds.
"The diamonds are all ready."
Kamoshida said as he put bags of diamonds on the table in front of everyone.
Everyone didn't speak, and there was some anticipation in their eyes.
Miki Noguchi put the diamonds into the inside of the box and was divided into pieces, and a large number of sparkling diamonds were presented in front of everyone.
"Wow!"
All the women present were dazzled by the light of the diamond and could not help but scream.
Although Gray Yuan Ai wanted to restrain a little, but looking at so many high-value high-grade diamonds neatly placed in front of her, under such a visual impact, her eyes couldn't help but be a little moved.
Then I involuntarily held the bracelet in my hand with my left hand, compared the dots of red on the bracelet, and then looked at the brilliant diamonds in front of me, and imagined that if the red on the bracelet was replaced by diamonds, it would be very dazzling.
"Even the layman knows what a high-grade diamond it is!"
Officer Twilight muttered as he stared at the dazzling diamond in front of him.
"This is the most high-end diamond that our Noguchi family can boast of. Whether it's Europe, the Americas, or Asia, as long as we make a sale, we should have buyers immediately. ”
Kamoshida said with a confident expression, while Miki Noguchi added:
"The chest was divided into ten parts, and each part boasted exactly fifty diamonds, so there were five hundred diamonds in total."
"If you put it that way, a diamond ...... It's worth two million! ”
Kogoro was surprised to calculate the value of each diamond.
"Takagi, Sato, count them on the spot and check the number of diamonds. In the end, when we chase it back, we must ensure that there is no shortage of diamonds! ”
Officer Twilight ordered.
"Yes!"
After Wataru Takagi and Miwako listened to the order, they immediately put on their gloves and carefully began to count.
And Miki Noguchi, who was standing on the side and squinting at the police, looked at the diamond in front of him, and said in his heart as if he was not angry:
"The next time the kidnapper calls, even if it's a word, I must scold him!"
"You can't do that."
Officer Twilight said dryly in denial.
"Why!"
Miki Noguchi had an unkind expression, "I took away my family's billion-dollar diamonds, and I can't scold him for a word!" ”
"Generally speaking, criminals are antisocial personalities and can do anything. Now your sister and Suzuki Sonoko are in each other's hands, and if they stimulate each other, I don't know what the other party will do. ”
Officer Twilight explained.
In this regard, Miki Noguchi, who has a bad personality, can only honestly agree after rethinking it, and at this time, the mobile phone that has been on the table rings again.
Everyone's emotions tensed up all of a sudden, and Officer Twilight sent a signal to Miki Noguchi to answer the phone after putting on the headphones.
After answering the phone, Miki Noguchi seemed to have been listening to the kidnapper's instructions, but suddenly, she raised her tone and said:
Valley falls
"Hey, it's Miss Garden. Are you alright? Kindness? What did you say? Okay, I got it. We've got the diamonds ready, and we're sure you'll be back safe, so hold on. Please tell my sister about this as well. ”
After Miki Noguchi finished speaking, she forcibly held back her trembling hands and put the phone back on the table, while the call had already hung up.
"Garden, she's okay!"
Seeing this, Xiaolan immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Listen to the voice, she should be crying."
Officer Twilight, who had been staring at the monitor, replied.
"What? Crying...... The garden, which is stronger than anyone else, cried......"
Hearing this, Xiaolan also cried sadly.
"Don't worry, Miss Lan."
Miwako got up, came to Xiaolan's side, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted:
"Kidnappers are the easiest to take lightly the moment they get their hands on the tree spirit. We will definitely arrest him at that time and rescue them all. ”
"What did the kidnappers say?"
Gao Yuan asked at this time.
"The kidnappers let Miss Miki walk alone to the Noguchi Building in Teidan City, where Miki's father ran the 'lucky' small steel ball shop, and then climbed to the roof of the building, and at three o'clock, hoisted the diamond box onto the advertising balloon on time."
Officer Twilight replied.
"Three points? Ay? It's only thirty minutes until three o'clock! And what do you mean by 'hanging a box from an advertising balloon'? ”
Kogoro looked at the time on his watch and said incomprehensibly and anxiously.
And Conan also looked at the time, looked very nervous, and then asked out loud:
"How long does it take to hike from here?"
Wataru Takagi unfolded the map at this time, found the destination on it, and then looked at the distance and said:
"From here, to the Noguchi Building...... It's about a fifteen-minute hike...... Well, it's still a fifteen-story building! ”
"There are taller buildings near the Noguchi Building, and if we send someone to lurk on the roof, it is likely that we will be discovered by the kidnappers who are monitoring the situation."
Looking at the map, Miwako thought.
"It seems that it is not easy to get close."
Officer Twilight said as well, frowning deeply.
"By the way, Miss Miki, can we borrow the uniform of the small ball shop to wear?"
Miwako asked after thinking about it.
"I see, you can pretend to be a clerk and watch out."
Kogoro sensed Miwako's intentions, and immediately said in an affirmative tone:
"Then you can move freely around the building."
"I don't think so."
Gao Yuan denied loudly, "Since the kidnappers have designated the place to deliver the diamonds, they are obviously very familiar with the place, and if a few clerks suddenly appear who have not seen them, they will probably be discovered." ”
"That's right."
After listening to Gao Yuan's analysis, the police couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
"In this case, because we don't know where the kidnappers will be watching, we can only hide from a distance as much as possible on the way...... But what to do when you get to the building......"
"Speaking of which, the entire fifteen-story building is all small steel ball shops?"
When Officer Mudu was embarrassed, Gao Yuan couldn't help asking:
"Are there any areas where children can enter?"
"Areas accessible to children......"
Yashida thought for a moment, and then said, "There is a video game city on the first floor, and children are allowed to enter. ”
"Wait a minute! Boy, what do you mean by that? ”
After listening to Takato's question, Kogoro immediately realized something.
"Since adults are easily noticed by kidnappers, will children let their guard down?"
As he said this, Takato looked down at Conan.
In this regard, Conan's face suddenly showed a look of understanding, and he looked ready to go.
"And it's not incomprehensible for a playful child to slip on the roof."
Gao Yuan added.
In the face of Gao Yuan's proposal, Officer Twilight and the others were silent for a while, looking at the two children in the lounge at the moment, they always felt very embarrassed-
"No matter what, you can't let your child do such a dangerous thing."
Wataru Takagi said with emotion.
"I can!"
Conan volunteered, and then said in a childlike tone, "Just look at the balloons on the roof, it should be fun!" ”
"Conan!"
In this regard, Xiaolan grabbed Conan, who was coquettish towards Officer Twilight, and stopped him:
"No! It's too dangerous! Mr. Wise too, how could you come up with such a dangerous suggestion! ”
"Time is limited, and if you don't decide, you won't have time."
Gao Yuan said, then squatted down and touched Conan's head, "And this kid has always been very clever, I believe he can do this very well." And the kidnappers certainly didn't think that the police would use children to monitor the scene! ”
"For the sake of Sister Yuanzi and Sister Yuri, I will finish this matter well!"
In a coquettish tone, Conan said.
In this regard, Gray Yuan looked at Conan, who was trying his best to pretend to be cute, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, and then looked at Gao Yuan, who made this suggestion, not knowing what he was thinking.
As the clock ticked by, and in the face of the tight time and the safety of the two hostages, Officer Twilight finally decided that Conan would go to the top floor of the building, pretend to be a playful child, and install a pocket wireless microphone for him.
Thus, the ransom delivery began.
