"Kudo-kun, what would you do if you wanted to kidnap someone?"

"Eh? Why do you suddenly ask this question?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue in confusion.

Mingyue looked at Kudo Shinichi and said: "If I wanted to kidnap you, I would knock you out with medicine first, and then take you away to a basement or an abandoned apartment, somewhere that is not easy to find. .At this time, Mr. Detective, what should you do?"

Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Kudo Shinichi. It was getting late and the street lights were dimly lit.

Kudo Shinichi blinked in confusion and tried to answer: "I will persuade you to give up crime. Why did you kidnap me, Mingyue?"

"There are many reasons for kidnapping. Going back to the scene I mentioned before, you were kidnapped by me and your life was under my control. I tried to persuade you to give up crime. Do you think I would listen to you?"

Kudo Shinichi's expression was slightly stunned. He didn't seem to understand why Mingyue asked this question, but he still thought according to Mingyue's words.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko came out and came to the two of them, but they saw that the children seemed to be discussing something, so neither of them said anything.

Yuzu looked at his son and raised the corners of his mouth. Shinichi's current expression is that of a detective, and he seems to be thinking about the case. Then he made a silent gesture to Yukiko.

Yukiko raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Kudo Shinichi scratched his hair and said: "Although I really can't figure out why you kidnapped me Mingyue? But if it is true, I was kidnapped by you. I think I should be able to escape from you. After all, you look like There’s nothing threatening about it.”

A big tic-tac-toe appeared above the bright moon.

[Master, if you were the only one to kidnap Kudou Shinichi without relying on those things, your success rate would indeed be low, and the other party’s escape rate would be very impressive. 】

【Shut up! 】

[Okay, Master. 】The prototype shut up smoothly.

Mingyue took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Detective, sometimes don't be fooled by the appearance. Just like sweet candy, there may be murder hidden inside. So if there is a reason for kidnapping, for what purpose do you think the other party will kidnap you? What kind of person would kidnap you?"

Kudo Shinichi thought seriously, and then discovered that Yusaku and Yukiko were looking at him with a smile.

Kudo Shinichi had an idea suddenly pop up in his mind, and he was startled by the idea. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, thinking seriously.

But at this moment, the smile on Yusaku's face paused for a moment. Especially when he heard Ming Yue say that sweet candies hide murderous intent, Yusaku suddenly remembered some details about the missing girl case he had gone to before: those who were rescued Many girls have eaten a kind of candy given by candy stores. Some rescued girls are even eager to eat that candy again. They say that candy seems to have magic power.

Yusaku once learned that a traffic policeman once encountered a girl being followed. The candy left by the girl was tested and found to contain anesthetics and hallucinogens. Although a crime was prevented, the clues about the candy were broken. Until the appearance of the Bloody Hatchling, the evidence of the crime was listed in front of the public.

But who is the person who performs the Bloody Hatchling Festival? And why do we need to do such a ceremonial scene?

And is Mingyue's words a metaphor, or does she know about the candy? Is she the girl who was rescued or the girl who was being followed?

Yusaku recalled the description in the file of the girl being followed as having gray hair and purple eyes, but Ming Yue had blue eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Yuzuo thought about a lot, but these were just speculations, just like the current case of the missing boy.

Suddenly Kudo Shinichi's voice interrupted Yusaku's contemplation.

"If someone really wants to kidnap me, then it is indeed possible to extort money from my parents. After all, my father is a well-known novelist. Although my mother has retired, she is still a female star." Then Kudo Shinichi said stinkingly, " Or he kidnapped me to threaten me to become his subordinate. After all, I am smart and handsome. But if he attacks me, I will definitely not let the prisoner succeed."

Monáe Mingyue said seriously: "Kidnapping, in addition to extorting property and taking hostages, has another purpose: to kidnap people."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue's serious face and was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yusaku, who nodded, indicating that he agreed with Mingyue's point of view.

Mingyue continued: "What about Dahe? What if he was kidnapped? Then what is the purpose of the prisoner?"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment, then looked at Mingyue in confusion, thinking in his heart: Could it be possible that someone would really be kidnapped because of their appearance.

If it wasn't for money or to be held hostage, then what was the purpose of kidnapping Da He just to take him away?

Hatred?

But that family didn't seem to have any enemies. Dahe and his friends would climb tree after tree to find people, which didn't seem like they had enemies.

Emotion?

Does Dahe like or dislike anyone? I don't think I've heard of it.

For a moment, Kudo Shinichi felt as if he had grasped a certain clue, but he didn't know which one it was.

"Mr. Detective, if you are imprisoned in a place and you try to prevent the crime, but the other person does not listen to you and your words make him angry, what will he do to you?"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment, then his eyes widened and he looked at Mingyue and said: "Mingyue, you mean that Dahe may have encountered something unexpected!"

Meng Nai Mingyue did not speak, but looked into the distance. The dusk was sinking, the sky was dimming, and the street lights were dim.

Kudo Shinichi said a little anxiously: "Mingyue, please speak!"

"We are all just guessing now, imagining specific scenarios, and then imagining the results. Whether the reality is like this, none of us know, and even if this hypothesis is established, there are still many mysteries in it, right? Mr. Detective." Mingyue said. Said this in a relaxed tone.

Kudo Shinichi blinked and said incomprehensively: "Is it just a hypothesis?"

Mingyue changed her tone and said seriously: "Kudo-kun, the next target may be you. How can you prevent yourself from being kidnapped or killed?"

It seemed that Ming Yue's tone was too firm, and Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment.

Kudo Yusaku looked at Mingyue and said gently: "Mingyue, you seem to have discovered something, can you tell me about it?"

Kudo Shinichi stared at his father with wide eyes, thinking: I have been with Mingyue this afternoon, why didn't I find any useful information?

Mingyue didn't look at Yuzu, but instead looked at Yukiko, who tilted her head and looked at Mingyue with some confusion.

"Gelin, be careful of Gelin."

Kudo Shinichi was full of questions, and so was Yukiko.

However, Kudo Yusaku nodded and said, "I will. Did you find something?"

"There is no substantial evidence, but I think she is too calm. It seems that she knows a lot, but she doesn't tell." Mingyue looked at the hem of Yukiko's shirt, where there was a drop of yellow-brown curry.

Are you having curry tonight? They are so happy.

Sure enough, Belmod has hidden your information and treated you as his only friend. Although Belmode and I have different reasons, the purpose is the same.

Yukiko looked at her son, her husband Yusaku, then looked at Mingyue and said, "Well, Mingyue, do you want to come to my house for dinner? I've made curry rice and beef stew."

"Aunt Yukiko, when I was shopping just now, I ate a lot, and I also had to clean up a little, so I couldn't go there yet." Ming Yue looked at the gentle Yukiko and said.

Yukiko was slightly disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Okay, if you need help, just come to us."

After waving goodbye, there was only a lonely streetlight shining dimly on the road.

At the dinner table, Kudo Shinichi didn't look very interested in the food, he just ate the white rice one bite at a time.

Yukiko looked a little annoyed at Shinichi who was still distracted while eating, and said, "Xiaoxin, what are you thinking about?"

Kudo Shinichi replied subconsciously: "I'm thinking about Mingyue..." Before he could finish his words, his thoughts drifted away again.

Yukiko waited for a long time, but without waiting for the next sentence, she teased: "Xiaoxin, do you like Mingyue?"

Kudou Shinichi's face turned red, and he looked at Yukiko with bewildered eyes, denying repeatedly: "No, no, I, I'm just curious. Mingyue is just like Irene." At this point, his eyes wandered away.

Yukiko looked at Kudo Shinichi like this, pursed her lips, and then said: "Xiaolan came today, but you and Mingyue are not here."

Only now did Kudo Shinichi remember that he originally wanted to introduce Mingyue to Xiaolan this afternoon, but because he met Eguchi Saori, he forgot about it. Xiaolan would probably be angry.

"Mom, what's the matter with Xiaolan's visit today?" Kudo Shinichi asked quickly.

Yukiko looked at the nervous Shinichi and said, "She asked you to go to the fireworks display."

"Isn't the fireworks display five days away? Mom, have you promised her for me?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Yukiko nervously.

Yukiko said helplessly: "How can I promise others for you? I told Xiaolan that you went out to play with our new neighbor, and Xiaolan said that she would come over tomorrow. That child hopes to get a personal reply from you .”

At this time, the TV was broadcasting tomorrow's weather forecast: "Thunderstorms and strong winds all day tomorrow..."

Kudo Shinichi watched the report on TV and said: "It will rain heavily tomorrow, will she still come?"

"You'd better call Xiaolan's house." Yukiko said seriously

"Well, I'm going to fight now." Kudo Shinichi put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and left.

Yukiko looked at the leftovers on the table with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Isn't the meal I cooked today delicious?"

"No, I ate too much ice cream today. It's all my fault that Mingyue bought so much." Kudo Shinichi quickly slipped away.

"Huh?" Yukiko wondered, then looked at Yusaku.

Yusaku took what was left from his son and said to Yukiko: "I'll ask later. Shinichi doesn't have many friends. It's hard to find someone he can play with. You don't have to worry too much."

Yukiko pouted and said, "You don't need to tell me to know. Except for Xiaolan who often comes to see Shinichi, not many people come to play at home. It's not easy to have such a neighbor. Shinichi also goes out for a walk, instead of I’m sitting at home reading. I’m afraid Mingyue also likes to sit in a pile of books and read.”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Yuzu said, then he received a slap from his beloved wife and silently finished his son's leftover food.

In the study room, Shinichi dialed the number of the Mori Office, and the call was quickly connected.

"Moses, Moses, who are you?" A mellow male voice came from the phone.

Shinichi scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "Hello, Uncle Maori, I'm looking for Xiaolan." Then Shinichi heard an exhalation sound like a cow's nostrils exhaling from the microphone, and then heard "Xiaolan" , that brat is looking for you."

"Hey, Shinichi?"

"It's me, Xiaolan."

"Shinichi, where have you been today? I went to look for you, but you were not at home."

"Well, it's like this..." Shinichi told Xiaolan about his encounter with Eguchi Saori this afternoon and about going out with Mingyue to help find someone.

"Aunt Eguchi is so pitiful. My father is very powerful. Why don't Aunt Eguchi entrust me to my father?"

Kudo Shinichi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, if I see Aunt Eguchi, I will give her advice."

"Your new neighbor is a girl, and she investigates the incident with you? And gives you questions? She also wants to be a detective, right?"

Shinichi smiled sarcastically, and then explained: "She is learning to dance. I really don't know if she wants to be a detective." But in his heart, he was thinking, what does Mingyue want to do? Maybe she wants to be a dancer, she should dance very well.

Would she want to be a detective like me? Dad would always ask her what she thought. If she was a detective, she would be very good.

Or is she more suitable to become a mystery novelist like her father?

"Hello? Shinichi, are you listening to me?" Xiaolan's voice on the phone interrupted Shinichi's thoughts.

"What, what's wrong?"

"I mean the fireworks display, can you go with me?"

"Well, there's nothing to do that day, let's go together."

"Then don't forget it."

"Xiaolan, I will go to the fireworks display with you. There is no need to come over tomorrow."

"You probably won't be investigating anything tomorrow."

"It's going to rain heavily tomorrow, so I probably won't go out."

"Okay, Shinichi, good night."

"Good night."

Xinyi hung up the phone and thought: This makes it clear, Xiaolan probably won't come tomorrow.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku walked into the study and saw that his son had hung up the phone, so he asked aloud: "Can you tell me about your affairs today?"

Kudo Shinichi confessed that he and Mingyue went out today to check for the missing boy Dahe, but found nothing. I told Kudo Yusaku that they had been to the park, and Mingyue seemed to be very curious about the nursery rhyme "Bamboo Cage Eyes".

However, Yusaku said: "Ming Yue should have stayed in Japan for some time before, and she should have heard this song before."

"Eh? Is that so?" Kudo Shinichi didn't quite understand why his father said that.

But Yusaku didn't explain, but asked: "Does Mingyue really like ice cream?"

"Yes, Mingyue bought one of each kind of ice cream, and the two of them ate it together and walked back while eating. She also wanted to eat alcoholic ice cream, but unfortunately we couldn't find it. Dad, there really is alcoholic ice cream. "?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Kudo Yusaku with curiosity.

Yuzu looked at his son with a smile and said, "The world is so big, there should be alcohol-flavored ice cream, but you haven't found it yet."

Yukiko had half-moon eyes and a slightly angry look on her face as she said, "How much did you guys eat? Won't you get a bad stomach?"

Kudo Shinichi was startled by his mother, and said with a guilty conscience: "It's just a bit overwhelming."

A huge tic-tac-toe appeared on Yukiko's forehead.

Kudo Shinichi gave Yusaku a wild look, but Yusaku calmly picked up the newspaper.

It's very dark tonight, and the dark clouds are like a cover, covering the earth, and the sweltering heat is very uncomfortable.

Mingyue was sitting in the basement on the second floor. The screen showed the scene of the car breaking in yesterday. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised. It was exactly what she thought.

But why exactly? It would be great if we could find that president.

I hope this incident is just an accident and has nothing to do with that group of people, otherwise this safe house will have to be abandoned.

Mingyue lay on the bed with her cell phone aside. After waiting for a long time, she didn't get Gin's text message. She really wouldn't contact her again in the short term.

The wind picked up in the middle of the night, and the wind whistled through the alleys, through the branches, through the leaves, and made a whimpering sound, as if someone was crying.

The next day, just as the weather forecast said, it rained heavily. The rain was so heavy and dense that the sky and the ground seemed to be connected together.

Early in the morning, the doorbell of Monáe's house was rang, and Ming Yue, who was still sleeping, was awakened. She wondered if it was Kudo Shinichi who came over. She used her mobile phone to check the real-time surveillance of the door, but found that there was a foreigner wearing a beret at the door. people……
