Chapter 18: Bad report


   On the evening of January 10, Mihuacho.
   Looking at the two guys diagonally behind, they were walking back talking and laughing, Yamazaki secretly paid attention to the interesting content.
In the night after the rain, under the bright moonlight, walking in this quiet alley, Lan was thinking about today’s date, thinking about the past of the two of them, and looking for someone to talk to him for a while, and there happened to be a nice person beside him. Audience.
   "By the way, Conan." Lan called Conan's name. "Ah, what's the matter?" Conan was obviously not used to his name yet. "Do you have anyone you like, I mean, do you have a girl you like in school?" Lan asked Conan.
   Yamazaki wanted to laugh a lot. Why do you ask the kids this kind of question?
   "No, how could there be any." Conan's answer was a bit unusual, and it was almost the same after a new one.
   "I have someone who I like very, very much." Lan can be considered a question and answer. "Could it be the new brother you were looking for just now?" Conan jokingly smiled. "Yes!" Looking at Conan's smile, Lan generously admitted. Conan was surprised. He had never thought of hearing such an answer in this situation, nor had he thought that Lan had such a side. In Conan’s surprised expression, Lan recalled as he walked,
He’s been naughty since he was a child, always full of self-confidence, and still a reasoning maniac, but at the critical moment he is very reliable, full of courage, and become so cool. I really I really like Shinichi." This is a confession, and Yamazaki, who is not far away, looked at it by moonlight. Conan's face became more and more red, he had never thought that he was like this in Lan's heart. Yamazaki listened to Lan again telling Conan, "Don't tell Shinichi about this." Yamazaki felt that his face was a little red, and he couldn't laugh. It was still very painful. ...
At 5 Chome, Lan pointed to the Meidai restaurant, "This is the house of the brother just now," and pointed to the Maori detective office next to him, "My house is here." Then he smiled at Conan, "It seems that there is a cute one. Like my brother, I feel like I can tell Conan anything."
   "I'll introduce you to my dad," Lan walked to the entrance of the corridor, and said to Conan, "Come on." He walked up.
"Then, that, Lan," after hearing Lu Lan's confession, Conan didn't know how to speak at this time. He didn't want to lie to Lan, "He, actually, I..." However, the voice was too small, Lan just "hmm". The following means listening.
   Yamazaki looked at the entrance of his own corridor, and walked out when he saw this, and wanted Conan to shut up. This guy obviously didn't know enough about his current situation. It seems that he needs to talk to him in the future.
"I am actually..." Conan plucked up his courage and raised his volume. When Yamazaki was about to interrupt, a figure shouted "Come! Here!" He rushed down the stairs in a running way. .
   "Dad!" The sharp-eyed Maurilan pulled Conan away, and the two let go.
   Mouri Kogoro, who was lying on the ground, solved the confusion for everyone, "Finally a job came to the door in half a year, and the daughter of a rich man was kidnapped. He was a man in black."
Yamazaki was very surprised. How could this kind of thing be found on Kogoro Moori's head, and the man in black caught Conan's attention, there was a shadow in his heart, so I didn't say anything at this time, watched Kogoro Moori and got in the taxi. .
The taxi finally opened. The day is finally saved. Mouri Kogoro, who doesn’t even have a beer, is proud,
The incident is calling me, calling my detective Kogoro, ha, uh... "
  Mouri Kogoro finally found out that there were two people sitting side by side with him, one was a child, and his daughter Mouriran. "Why are you in the car?" Mouri Kogoro shouted to Mouriran. "Because of this kid he ran up." Mao Lilan called back confidently. "Car, car." Conan mixed. "Who is this guy?" Mouri Kogoro called to Conan. Ran asked Conan to hug her lap and explained to Kogoro Mouri, "Dr. Aka's relative's child." Conan pointed to the front and said, "Brother Yamazaki is coming." "Ah!" Kogoro Moori looked carefully. "Uncle Maori, good evening." Yamazaki greeted. "Who is he?" Maori asked Ran. "New boyfriend?" "What boyfriend?" Ran was angry. "He is Yamazaki Misaki. He ate supper together last night." "Oh," Maori finally had some impressions, and asked, "What are you doing here?" "I saw you in a hurry. I thought there was something, so I wanted to help," Yamazaki explained to Maori looking at Conan who squinted his eyes. Later, I heard that there was an incident. I wanted to see how detectives work, so I wanted to go together."
   Hearing what the three said, Maori still refused to let them stay, "Don't hinder my work, get off the car immediately." "How is it possible, this is on the highway." Lan Da yelled in retort. "Uh..." Detective Kogoro Mouri said nothing.
  ………………………………
   Valley House.
   "The kidnapped is my only daughter, Akiko Tani, who is ten years old this year," Mr. Gu showed a photo of Akiko Tan. "The prisoner was seen by the butler Aso."
   Conan jumped for a long time and didn’t see the photo taken by Kogoro Moori. He snatched it as soon as Moori put down his hand. He glanced at it and asked,
How was the situation when he was kidnapped?

   "Who is this kid?" Mr. Gu is very strange, how can adults talk about children interrupting.
   "It's nothing, he is my friend's child," Maori explained hurriedly, then brought Conan to Lan, and solemnly said: "Let me take good care of him." Then he asked the housekeeper Aso about the situation.
"At that time, the young lady came back from school and was playing in the yard. Suddenly a man in black jumped out of the corner." Aso said of the man who was still learning black, "tell your host, if you want to return For the daughter, the company will be closed for a month. Of course, if the police calls the police, his daughter will be dead.
Then continued,
After all this, the prisoner climbed the pine tree and escaped.

Listening to his narration, Yamazaki carefully looked at the pine tree not far away. Yamazaki thought that if he carried the child with one hand and climbed the tree with the other, there should be traces on the tree. At least he could not leave no traces. No matter what, the bark There will always be traces left. From this, it can be concluded that Butler Aso is lying, but what is the reason?
   "What about the characteristics of that man?" Conan asked concerned. "My eyes are not good, I can't see clearly." Aso butler also answered the child's question carefully. However, not everyone can do this, so Conan's head was planted with mushrooms, big and red mushrooms. "No, Conan, don't interfere with my father's work." Apparently Lan's elbow was still turned inwards.
   Looking at this scene, Yamazaki was very puzzled. To the talkative Conan and the cheerful butler Aso, did he really participate in the kidnapping of his own lady? Butler Aso doesn't seem to have just entered the Gu family, Miss Gu Jingzi should have grown up with him.
"So did the other people hear the prisoner's voice?" Dismissed Conan, and Maori continued to understand the situation, "Or some other strange sound." The servant confirmed that only the Aso butler yelled "Miss was taken away" Sound, nothing else.
   "Is the Aso butler alone seeing the prisoner?" Mori summed up the current situation, "From the other party's request, the prisoner should be someone who is hostile to the company by the president."
   "Damn it, in addition to this request, they actually want money." Mr. Gu said airly. "Money?" Aso butler was shocked. "I just asked me to prepare 300 million yuan in old banknotes." Mr. Gu shouted. "Could it be that you made a mistake?" Aso butler asked. "Stop talking nonsense, shut up," Mr. Gu shouted angrily when the butler doubted him.
   Seeing the panic of the Aso butler, it was obvious that an accident happened. So Ms. Akiko Tani was kidnapped by the black man in the mouth of the Aso butler, and later by another person. What is Aso's butler worried about, comrade, lady, or himself? Yamazaki thought of this, looked at the two detectives, and watched your performance below.
   "If your company goes bankrupt, which companies will benefit?" The Maori detective started with an external enemy.
  Looking at Conan thinking, Yamazaki asked, "What did you think of?"
Conan said: "Why did the prisoner come to the house to kidnap her? Wouldn't it be better to start on the way to and from school?" Yamazaki smiled, "For some daughters, it's normal to ride in a car." Conan said: "So how come you get caught It’s been too careless for others to see.
Yamazaki retorted,
This kind of thing is also normal, and the weather forecast is not always accurate.

Conan unconsciously picked up a handball shot by a girl in the yard, and kicked it and asked, "But the prisoner only needs old banknotes. Isn't that very careful?" Yamazaki hadn't spoken yet. Ran not far away saw Conan's movements. Come over and praise: "Conan, your football is good." "It's okay." Conan answered subconsciously. "Shinichi also often thinks about things while playing football. He said that when he plays football, his mind will be very clear." Lan is a touch of love. Yamazaki gently shook his head to Conan. Conan reacted and had to make a mistake. Finished the dribble.
   Watching the ball roll into the bushes under the tree, Conan went and picked it up. Suddenly, a big dog roared wildly and rushed out of the kennel in the bushes towards Conan.
The few people who were still far away were about to rush over to rescue. When Yamazaki was about to take a shot, Conan actually got better with the ball in his hand and the dog. This is natural, right, Yamazaki put away his hand. coin.
   "It's amazing," Mr. Gu said in surprise, "Except for the people in the family, Big Macs won't get close to others."
   "Uncle Maori, this means that the kidnappers used this pine tree to sneak in and then escape. The dog should bark, right, then..." Looking at Conan with a clear look, Yamazaki decided to remind Maori later.
"Where are you going, Steward Aso." Thinking of the servant's words, Maori asked Aso, who was about to leave. "What you said just now makes people feel strange. The prisoner who sneaked into the yard kidnapped the young lady and used the pine tree to escape. , Why didn’t the dog bark?
See Aso hesitated to speak, and continued to ask,
In your testimony, there are too many ambiguities. In fact, there is no man in black at all. Butler Aso, that's not right, you should be called the kidnapper."
Well, the man in black finally came to the conclusion, "Why are you doing this kind of thing." Mr. Gu was very angry, "Who told you to do it?" The Aso butler, who couldn't help but apologize, hurriedly replied, "This I did it alone." You want to cover it up, Yamazaki secretly said.
   "Where is the young lady now?" Maori asked concerned. "In a nearby restaurant." Hearing what the Aso Butler said, Mouri was excited and finally settled it. So for beer or something, I, Kogoro Moori, is back, and by the way I have to advertise, "As long as my name is detective Kogoro Moori. No matter how difficult the case is, it will be solved easily." What about the next? Yamazaki looked at Maori and couldn't bear to interrupt him. no yet……
   "Master, there is your call." A servant took the phone and hurried over. Interrupted Maori's fantasy.
   "Are you ready for the 300 million yuan?" The clever kidnapper called the one who kidnapped Ms. Jingzi from the place where she was imprisoned after she was kidnapped for the first time. "Dad, save me."
"Say as much as possible and try to find out the location of the kidnapper." Maori was right, but Mr. Gu subconsciously repeated it, "Location?" The kidnapper thought there was a police nearby, and Mr. Gu hurriedly explained, "No. He is not a policeman." "Dad, in the warehouse of the school, you can see a big chimney from the window, eh..." Miss Gu Jingzi heard her father's words and called out. Finally, the kidnappers covered her mouth. .
   There was a clue to the address. Looking at Conan who was already checking the map, Yamazaki said to Mori: "It should be near the restaurant. From the perspective of time, he is not far away."
   "We are chasing after the dog," Maori called to Lan as he watched Conan ran out on the dog.
   Yamazaki has not looked for it yet. "Where is that restaurant, Butler Aso?" While listening to Butler Aso's answer, he said to Mr. Gu: "Can you collect the old 300 million yuan bill?" "This..." Mr. Gu looked distressed. Seeing this, Yamazaki said: "You try to get together first, and the kidnappers will call again and then grind them. After all, it is not easy to ask for 300 million yuan in old banknotes at night, is it?" "I will prepare now." Mr. Gu's eyes lit up and he left.
"Don't go," Yamazaki grabbed the person who wanted to help. He didn't realize that he had become the butler of the kidnapper Aso. "Take me to the restaurant." Seeing that he still wanted to talk, Yamazaki didn't want to talk to him, "This is your atonement. Opportunity."
"This is a five-star, right?" Yamazaki, who came by the car, looked at the building and asked Aso, "Ms. Akiko Tani often comes, or is it from your house?" "Part of it is," Aso replied, "Miss Come too often."
  "Do you know this person?" Yamazaki asked the manager hard. "Yes, butler Aso," the manager replied. "Butler Aso went into Miss Tani's room with Ms. Akiko Tani in the afternoon." Yamazaki smiled when he said that. "Ms. Akiko Tani is missing now. She is suspected of being taken from the restaurant. Kidnapped." "What?" The manager's expression changed, "This, this..." "Let's not talk about the others, let the service staff and the doorkeeper who have been in the hotel in the afternoon until now gather at the door. "Yamazaki said to the manager who was already sweating. "Okay, okay." Regardless of wiping sweat, the manager ran out quickly.
   "By the way, I have a question for you," Yamazaki said to the Aso butler after waiting for a while, "Why did you find Kogoro Moori on the head, why did you pick him?"
   "This, this..." Butler Aso obviously didn't want to answer.
   "Let's go ahead and see if it is the same as I thought." Yamazaki encouraged him.
   "This, in the report given, there is only..." Butler Aso said with difficulty, "In the second half of last year, Kogoro Mouri..."
   "Ha..." Yamazaki laughed, "Sure enough, as I thought, the other kidnapper is Miss Yasuko himself." Yamazaki said suddenly.
   "No, I'm the only one," the butler Aso yelled, "I'm the only kidnapper."
"Which kidnapper puts the hostage in his five-star hotel where the hostages can move freely. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is not making a movie. Someone threatens you with your family and lets you deceive Miss and deceive you. "Master" Yamazaki pointed to Aso's forehead and said, "Do you have the motive to kidnap Ms. Akiko Tani? It depends on how you are worried and nervous, making people think you were kidnapped."
   "This, this..." Butler Aso took out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, muttering speechless.
"Ha," Yamazaki smiled. There were already a lot of people watching the door. He walked over and asked loudly: "Who saw Miss Gu Jingzi go out, with whom, walking, or making a car, which car, which direction? ."
   After questioning, a service staff saw Miss Gu Jingzi and a man walking away, wearing a normal, blue-black shirt, off-white pants, and a baseball cap. Opening the door to greet the guests only saw the man carrying a bag less than half a person high on his shoulders, and missed Miss Gu Jingzi, and made sure that he was not in the car and did not pay attention to the direction of departure.
"There is a school and this restaurant nearby, right." Yamazaki watched Conan riding a dog running across the gate, and pointed to the direction Conan was going to tell the manager. After getting his confirmation, he said to Butler Aso: "Five. The star-rated hotel allows strangers to casually take out a small underage girl who comes frequently, and her family has no idea. You can ask them for an explanation and ask them to compensate for the damage. You can do it right, this counts as your atonement." After speaking, after seeing Lan had entered the hotel area, he shouted at her, and then chased Conan who had entered the alley.
   "I will do it for sure." Butler Aso promised to Yamazaki's back, and then solemnly said to the pale manager: "Notify your boss, we have to have a good talk."
