Came to the reporter's house.

Hindsight, Maori Kogoro hammered a bag on Conan's head, "What are you doing with this little ghost!" ”

(Don't be surprised, as explained earlier, Conan's current identity is basically the kind that everyone knows, but the daily relationship is still the same as the original book, only under a specific plot will be pierced, and the rest are 'reasonable' under the will of the world)

"It hurts~" Conan covered his head, "But I also want to see how my uncle solved the case!" ”

"Hmph, a ghost is a ghost." Perhaps pleased by Conan's words, Mori Kogoro crossed his hand and rang the doorbell in front of him.

Welcomed into the house by an old housekeeper who was over half a hundred years old, Maori straightened his clothes and soon met the owner of the house.

The man with a big belly stood in the yard, and when he saw the housekeeper coming back, he stepped forward with a worried face, "Mr. Maori! ”

"Mr. Maori, you are here," the man took out a photo from his jacket pocket and handed it over, "The kidnapped is my daughter, Gu Jingzi, who is ten years old this year......"

"You must save her, Mr. Maori! She's only ten years old! ”

"Don't worry, leave everything to Detective Mori Kogoro!"

Conan watched from the sidelines as Mori Kogoro bragged, still with the familiar dead fish eyes.

The two sides simply exchanged two sentences, which is the time for sorting out the case.

The old butler stood aside respectfully and recounted the picture he saw:

"The young lady came back from school and was playing in the yard, when a man dressed in black appeared from the corner of the yard," said the old butler, shaking his body, as if he had not yet come back to his senses in fright:

"The man in black took the young lady hostage with a knife in his hand and threatened: 'Tell your master that if you want your daughter back, you will close the company for a month, and of course, if you call the police, your daughter will ......die.'"

With these words, the prisoner climbed the pine tree and fled. The old housekeeper said that he had a nose and eyes, and Maori Kogoro immediately fell into deep thinking when he heard it.

Only Conan was keenly aware of what was wrong.

But what's wrong......

Can't seem to say it?

What's wrong?

"Eh, old uncle, do you remember any features on that man?"

"I don't have good eyes, so I don't pay much attention to them......" The old butler bowed his head guiltily.

With a guilty look that he was an eyewitness but couldn't help, others couldn't help but comfort him, saying, 'It's not your fault'.

But when Conan saw it, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

No, that's not the way that organization works.

If it was that organization, would it be stupid enough to let this old butler with a bad eye see it?

Apparently impossible......

So, why exactly?

Conan, who was pondering, unconsciously walked to the wall, looked up at the pine tree overhead, and was distracted.

At this time, the incredible voice of the old butler came from behind him, "What are you talking about, master?" A gangster called you to ask for money? How is this possible, could it be that you are mistaken?! ”

Well?

Conan looked back with a serious face.

What was the incredulity and shock in the old butler's words?

After going through the case from beginning to end in his mind, Conan suddenly lowered his head in a dull way.

No way......

It won't really be ......

"How could I be mistaken! is really an insatiable guy, he dares to ask for 300 million yuan! ”

The man looked crazy and angry, "I can't make a mistake Mr. Maori, because the time of the call was just now!" ”

Mori Kogoro looked pensive, "I understand, then may I ask, who are the profitable people after your company closes?" ”

The man read a lot angrily.

Mori Kogoro was still interrogating and screening these people for the possibility of committing crimes, and Conan was bored enough to yawn.

It was so simple that he couldn't even be interested.

Why?

Because the person who 'kidnapped' Gu Jingzi was the old housekeeper in front of him!

As for the reason......

Maybe it's because he's also entrusted?

Conan smiled helplessly, and sighed in his heart that this Miss Gu was really cute, and he was bored thinking about it, if things ......

It's not that simple.

Conan was originally just unconscious thoughts.

He didn't know that it was precisely because of his 'unconscious' that a wisp of black smoke hidden in the night rose lightly, and finally drifted away with the wind.

At this moment, a maid rushed over with a phone, "Master, master! Oh no! ”

"What's the matter, frizzy!" The man was anxious about his daughter, and he was even more impatient with the maid's yelling.

"Master, the robbers are calling again!"

"What?" The man took the phone and yelled, "What do you want!" ”

Everyone nervously waited for the man and the robber to end the call, and only Conan was the only one who slowly warmed up after his body stiffened.

Yes, the housekeeper's incredible tone before turned out to be not because he didn't discuss it with the helper, but because he ......

Did a gangster really kidnap Miss Gu?

Thing...... It seems to have become interesting!

Once again, he was full of vitality and quietly moved to Maori Kogoro's side, and after the man and the robber finished talking on the phone, he said tentatively:

"Uncle, please prolong the call as long as possible, and if you can, please find out where the gangsters are."

"Or what are the obvious characteristics of the buildings around the gangsters......"

"Where are you? Building? The man was suddenly commanded by a child, and his brain didn't react, so he subconsciously repeated it.

This was heard by the gangster on the other end of the phone, "Is there anyone else with you?" ”

"Who is it? It can't be the police, right? The vicious male voice suddenly rose up, and the next moment the immature girl screamed.

"Daddy, save me!!"

"It's the school's warehouse! There's a big chimney around here! Ah——!!h ”

Gu Jingzi, who risked his life to report the order, screamed and disappeared.

"Akiko!" The man heard the scream, and sat on his knees with his frightened legs.

Conan and Mori Kogoro also heard those screams.

The difference is that in the former, the excited heartbeat begins to accelerate, and the brain is running rapidly, and at the same time, the heart cannot suppress the excitement.

Because of Conan, he felt the 'neediness' of being a detective.

Cases always happen where detectives are needed, don't they?

And the latter bowed his head in seriousness.

Gu Jingzi's screams were clearly painful.

Fear...... Even if you rescue people, they are no longer 'intact'.

And so it is.

Because the danger of the world is infinitely raised, which is the default setting in everyone's worldview, it ......

In this world where only certain 'certain creatures' can come out of the night......

Some things are also 'reasonable' and 'natural' to deviate from Conan's original plot.

Just like now, Gu Jingzi, who was stabbed in the calf by the gangster, was in tears, shaking her head and crying.

Her clear eyes were filled with fear.
