Mao Lilan was sitting in Fei Yingli's law office, looking at the sky outside. The red clouds had begun to slowly fade, and night was slowly falling.

However, at this time, Fei Yingli was discussing the upcoming court case with her assistant and had no time to take care of her sad and lost daughter.

Mao Lilan held the mobile phone in her hand, with tears in the corners of her eyes. She was thinking of Suzuki Sonoko, Kudo Shinichi, and Monáe Mingyue, whom she had known for a short time.

If I had not agreed to the grouping at that time and everyone had acted together, wouldn't the two of them have been in danger?

If I often went over to see them when I was changing my yukata, would they not have been kidnapped?

I clearly know that Yuanzi has been in danger, but I...

A tear fell on the back of my hand, and another tear fell on the back of my hand.

I'm so scared, Shinichi...

Mao Lilan lowered her head and looked at the mobile phone in her hand. She wanted to call Shinichi, but looking at the phone number that was about to be dialed, she couldn't press the dial button for a long time.

Dad has already gone to investigate. What if he tells Shinichi about this and Shinichi starts playing detective games again?

Dusk is a cursed time, when all evil spirits and ghosts appear in the sky.

In Kudo's house, Kudo Shinichi's stomach was growling with hunger. He was looking for something to eat in the refrigerator, but unfortunately there seemed to be no ready-made food.

After Kudo Shinichi complained in his mind that his parents hadn't come back so late, he closed the refrigerator door and prepared to go out to buy something to eat.

Before going out, Shinichi stood by the window and looked at the night outside. It was very quiet and peaceful. Only the summer insects were humming. The only drawback was that both Mingyue's house and Dr. A Li's house were dark.

Suddenly the cell phone in my pocket rang. I took it out and saw that it was Mao Lilan's phone. She leaned against the window and pressed the answer button.

"Xinyi, I'm so scared, wuwuwu..." Mao Lilan's voice contained a heavy cry.

Kudo Shinichi was confused by Mao Lilan's sudden cry. He looked at the night outside the window and thought about whether Xiaolan was at home alone. He also thought about those ghosts and became frightened, so he comforted him: "Are you?" What ghost legends did you read again? Those ghosts are all made up to scare people..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mao Lilan, "That's not why!"

"What's that for?" Kudo Shinichi was confused.

"Xinyi, wuwuwu, can you come over? I'm very scared..."

"Isn't Uncle Maori at home?"

"I'm in my mother's law firm..."

"Eh? What happened?" Kudo Shinichi felt a little strange and asked aloud, but he didn't get a reply for a long time. He only heard intermittent sobbing.

Kudo Shinichi looked confused and said, "Don't cry yet! What happened?"

Mao Lilan on the other side of the phone finally choked and said: "Dad said that Yuanzi and Mingyue were kidnapped. Wuwuwu..."

Xin froze completely, looking out the window at Monáe's house, which was completely dark. Damn it! I should have noticed!

"Xiaolan, when did Uncle Maoli say this happened? Didn't Yuanzi send you a text message? When were they kidnapped?"

"Wuwuwu, I don't know, I'm scared, Shinichi..." Mao Lilan was still sobbing uncontrollably.

Shinichi looked out the window and saw a woman wearing sunglasses looking at the door of Mingyue's house. He quickly said, "Xiaolan, stay well at the law office and don't go out!" Then he hung up the phone and rushed out, preparing to follow her. Girl in sunglasses, see if you can find any clues.

As expected, the girl in sunglasses saw Shinichi hiding in the corner. The corner of her mouth curled up, tempting Shinichi to walk into the narrow alley.

Shinichi saw the girl in sunglasses walking towards the alley and quickly followed her. He saw the woman in sunglasses looking around, as if she didn't know how to get through the alley here, and she seemed lost.

Kudo Shinichi grinned. He had walked through the alleys in this area countless times, and he knew exactly where each path led.

For example, the right turn ahead is a shortcut to Xiaolan's house. Another example is that the left turn at the two intersections ahead is the direction to Didan Middle School. However, not far to the right of the woman is a road section under construction. .

It's a pity that the girl in sunglasses did not go to the road section that was under construction. It seemed that she saw the road sign indicating that this road is closed from a distance.

But it doesn't matter. Just go three intersections ahead and turn left. That alley is a dead end.

Shinichi followed the girl in sunglasses. They passed an intersection, then a second intersection, and then came to a third intersection. Going further ahead was a wide road with many vehicles. If a woman in sunglasses gets into a car, it's not easy to follow. So how do you get the woman to turn left?

Kudo Shinichi thought carefully, then kicked out the pebbles at his feet, hitting the trash can on the right side of the fork in the road.

The sound of stones hitting the trash can startled the woman in sunglasses. She noticed movement on the right and quickly ducked into the alley on the left.

Shinichi was secretly happy that he had simply forced the other party into a dead end, so that he could find out the whereabouts of Mingyue and Sonoko. Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi ducked into the alley and saw the girl in sunglasses realizing that this was a dead end with a slightly nervous look on her face.

The girl in sunglasses looked around, "Damn it, this is a dead end."

Kudo Shinichi blocked the only entrance and exit and asked: "Who are you? Why are you following us! Where are Mingyue and Sonoko?"

The nervous look on the sunglasses girl's face disappeared. She looked squarely at the young man in front of her and said, "You mean those two girls~"

Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists, "You really caught it!"

"But you don't seem to know your current situation." The girl in sunglasses walked towards Kudo Shinichi step by step.

Kudo Shinichi felt something bad, and at this moment there were footsteps behind him, and he exclaimed: "What?!" He turned around and looked behind him and saw a man wrapped in black clothes, holding a big black box in his hand, and That box doesn't look light.

The man wore a mask on his face, and the voice behind the mask was slightly strange, "Little guy, you can't hide!"

"Damn it!" Kudo Shinichi looked at the two people slowly walking towards him one after the other. His heart was beating violently, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

"Kill him?" the woman in sunglasses asked, but the man carrying the box didn't reply.

Kudo Shinichi took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police, but the woman in sunglasses snatched it away. "I just thought of calling the police now. Isn't it too late?"

Shinichi ran towards the man, trying to break out of the alley.

The man placed the black box on the ground and hugged Kudo Shinichi who was about to escape.

Xin opened his mouth to shout for help, but the woman in sunglasses covered his mouth. Shinichi struggled hard, but was hugged tightly by the man.

Kudo Shinichi burst into tears when he heard a familiar female voice.

"Okay, Xiaoxin, I won't scare you anymore."

Shinichi was stunned and stopped struggling. He saw the girl with sunglasses taking off her sunglasses and taking off her disguise. Only then did Shinichi realize that it was his mother.

"mom!"

Turning around to look at the man hugging him, the man took off his mask. It was his father, Kudo Yusaku.

"Dad!"

Kudo Shinichi said with a slightly complaining voice: "How could you do this!"

However, Yukiko told Shinichi with a serious face, "Your observation skills are not as good as Mingyue."

Yusaku also said: "You are not qualified for this."

At this time, the disguised police officer Megure came over, looked at Yusaku with his half-moon eyes, and said, "Is it really okay for you two to scare your son like this?"

"This is the path he has to choose. Only by experiencing it can he grow." Yuzuo said

Officer Memu sighed and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Yusaku pointed to the side, and Officer Megure and Yusaku walked aside to check the known information.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Yukiko and said, "Mom, why are you following us? Why did dad say I was unqualified? What happened to Mingyue and Sonoko?"

Yukiko looked at her eager-looking son and recounted what happened as soon as they went out.

The incident was traced back to when a group of people set out to eat cake. Yukiko, who was in disguise, followed behind wearing sunglasses. As a result, she was discovered by Mingyue before she could get out of 2-chome. Yukiko received a text message from Mingyue: "Aunt Yukiko, I saw It’s you~——Mingyue”

At that time, Yukiko was startled by the ringtone of the text message on her mobile phone. She glanced at it and it turned out to be from Mingyue. She also noticed that the bodyguard was looking this way, so she hid deep in the alley, but accidentally kicked a plastic bottle, and she quickly bent down to pick it up. Get up and throw it gently into the trash can.

Looking back, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was following him, and called Yuzu dejectedly.

After Yusaku, who was still taking care of Dr. Agasa, heard this, he laughed loudly and told Yukiko: "When I followed Ming Yue before, Ming Yue also discovered my trace very early."

"What should we do?" Yukiko asked.

Kudo Yusaku thought for a while and then replied: "It is better to let Mingyue do the internal response. This way you will have more time and energy to observe whether there are suspicious people or things around the child."

Yukiko followed the plan given by Yusaku and sent a text message to Mingyue: "Do you want to be an internal agent? - The Hidden One"

Soon Yukiko received Mingyue's response: "OK! - Lurker"

After that, Yukiko always arrived at the destination first according to Mingyue's text messages. Until Yukiko saw a knife-wielding robber rushing toward the children, she didn't care whether she was exposed and appeared in front of the children, but luckily all the children All safe. However, due to this mistake, Shinichi discovered him and chased him into the alley.

After entering the alley, Mingyue's text message suddenly came, asking Yukiko to find a place to hide while she lured Shinichi away.

Later, she received a text message from Ming Yue, telling her that there were others following them, and asking Yukiko to pay attention to her own safety. But who was following them, Yukiko asked, but Mingyue did not reply.

When the children entered the mall, there were a lot of people coming and going, so the intensity of observation had to be increased, but Yukiko still keenly noticed a few strange people, one was a woman wearing a peaked cap, and the other was The man who carries the cartons back and forth, and Green.

Yukiko had seen the woman in the peaked cap through the floor-to-ceiling window of the cake shop, and she looked ferocious. At this time, this person was also hanging around the children.

The suspicious thing about the man delivering the cartons is that he usually waits until there are fewer customers to do this kind of thing. Now is the peak period of traffic, but he is constantly delivering large cartons. It is difficult not to make people wonder what is in the box. What is installed.

Green met him first at a cake shop and then twice at a kimono shop, and Green seemed nervous the second time.

Later, Yukiko saw the woman in the peaked hat leaving, and the person who originally delivered the cartons also disappeared. Shinichi and Mao Lilan left the kimono shop. After waiting for a long time, Mingyue and Sonoko were not available, and Mingyue did not reply to text messages for a long time. Yukiko was really anxious and called Mingyue. Unexpectedly, the kidnapper answered the phone and called again but was hung up on several times.

When something like this happened, Yukiko immediately contacted Yusaku. After hearing this, Yusaku felt that there was something wrong with the bodyguard.

After hearing Yukiko's experience, Kudo Shinichi lowered his head and thought, "Then what dad means is that among our group, there is someone like Mingyue who is working as an internal agent. This internal agent is most likely the bodyguard around Sonoko, and their purpose is very clear. It might be Yuanzi, but because Yuanzi and Mingyue swapped hairstyles and tried on the same clothes together, they didn't know who their real target was, so they were both kidnapped."

Yukiko nodded and said, "That's what Yusaku means too."

"But the Suzuki family should take some action?"

Yukiko looked at Yusaku, who was communicating with Officer Megure, and said, "The fact that they didn't make any move further confirmed that the target of this kidnapping is Suzuki Sonoko."

"But the kidnapper wants 300 million from you, mom. Is it possible that the kidnapper actually wants money?"

"No, Yuzuo thinks this matter is not simple, and we continued to call Mingyue's phone. Although the phone was not turned off, it was hung up all the time. Logically speaking, this should not be the case. Moreover, we were not told how to pay the ransom. "

"So what now? Sonoko is the second lady of the Suzuki Consortium. The kidnappers will definitely not do anything for money, but Mingyue..." Kudo Shinichi looked at Yukiko anxiously.

Yukiko looked at her son beside her and said, "We have prepared the ransom. Waiting for the kidnapper's call is one way to go. Dr. Agasa also gave a plan."

Yukiko said that she originally came back to see if Ming Yue had come home and whether you had returned, and to confirm whether there was any danger nearby, and that she had just collected 300 million yen. Mingyue's mobile phone was on. Dr. Agasa said that he had invented an instrument for tracking signals before, so Yukiko and Yusaku came over to get the instrument.

After Kudo Yusaku finished chatting with Officer Megure, he looked at Shinichi and said, "Shinichi, I hope you can wait at home for us to come back."

"How could I possibly stay at home! They were kidnapped from me!" Kudo Shinichi's face was full of self-blame, his fists clenched and his knuckles turned white.

Officer Megure walked over and looked at Yusaku and said: "We have tried the instrument and it should be usable. However, the range that can be captured without connecting the phone is too small, only within two or three kilometers. Beyond this range, it cannot be found. , and if it’s in a basement or tunnel with a poor signal, it probably won’t be useful.”

"Well, it's a bit tasteless." Yuzu rubbed his chin and thought carefully about the solution.

Shinichi said with a worried look: "Didn't the kidnappers not allow us to notify the police? We have contacted the police, but if they are discovered, will they be in danger?"

Yuzu smiled and replied: "Although the kidnappers don't allow us to call the police, we can contact our friends."

Officer Megure looked at Shinichi with a serious face and said: "The police have prepared plans for this situation, and in many cases, even if a ransom is paid, the hostages will still be killed, so if you encounter this situation, don't hesitate. , call the police decisively.”

The red clouds in the sky have faded and night has fallen. Disguised police officers from the First Investigation Division are among the crowd, investigating or tracking suspicious persons.

A blue Toyota car was speeding through the night. A man in the passenger seat was holding a computer and trying to crack the password on his mobile phone. The man in the driver's seat was holding a cigarette.

The shabby man in the passenger seat said: "I didn't expect someone to be willing to offer three billion. I thought that girl was just an ordinary junior high school student. But do we really want to go there? Hasn't the eldest sister sealed the warehouse? do you died?"

"Hmph!" The man driving the vehicle blew out a smoke ring, "You would be a fool not to earn these 3 billion, and then go abroad to live in style after finishing this job."

The man in the passenger seat looked back and forth on Ming Yue's cell phone. He was very curious about the twinkling moon decoration on Ming Yue's cell phone. He glanced at the man who was driving and said, "But it's not good for the eldest sister to know."

"What does it matter? Just don't tell her. How can a woman blinded by hatred experience the happiness of money." After saying that, he blew out another smoke ring and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why do you think the eldest sister wants us to wander around the streets with our mobile phones? Why do we need to go to that warehouse for ransom?"

The man driving the car didn't want to answer that question, but instead asked: "How long until the ransom is paid?"

The man who was still playing with his phone looked at his watch and said, "One hour and thirty-seven minutes."

"Why don't you hurry up and crack the password on that phone? I'm really looking forward to three billion." The man driving the car seemed to be already thinking about how to spend the money after getting it.

"You think I don't want to? Why is this phone so difficult to crack?"

Several large dark birds flew past in the night, and the crows that were resting among the branches made a shrill cry.

The man in the co-pilot looked at the map on the computer and suddenly said: "There is a roadblock ahead, and the police officers have set up a check."

The man in the driver's seat saw rows of red taillights from a distance and felt a little uneasy. "Let's go around and take another road."

Toru Amuro, who was also chasing after him, also discovered the checkpoint ahead, and it seemed that more people were coming, and the road became crowded. Toru Amuro looked at the laptop in the passenger seat, and it was obvious that the signal source was nearby. , but which car is it after all?

A blue Toyota changed lanes, attracting Toru Amuro's attention.

The blue Toyota suddenly turned into the wrong lane, scaring the vehicles to avoid it. The blue Toyota then reversed and sped in the opposite direction.

Detectives from all walks of life were alerted to discover that this car was unusual. They quickly turned around and rushed over, but they were stuck on the road due to the large number of people. The traffic was in chaos, and only Amuro passed through the sidewalks and drainage ditches beside the street, reversed the car quickly, and gave chase.

The traffic police who originally set up the traffic jam had to come over to maintain traffic.

The man in the passenger seat of the blue Toyota said: "We seem to be exposed, and there seems to be something hidden inside."

"No, we should have been exposed before this, but in that case, don't blame me for being ruthless." The man extinguished his cigarette fiercely.

"The three billion?"

"If you have a life, it's money. If you don't have a life, it's money!"

"There is a car following us." The man in the passenger seat noticed Toru Amuro behind him.

"Shoot, blow out his tires!" The man in the driver's seat stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and kept weaving through the traffic.

The man in the passenger seat took out a pistol from under the car seat, opened the window, stretched his hand out the window, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Bang!Bang!

After several gunshots, the sound of brakes, horns, roar of engines, and the shrill cries of crows made it really noisy.

On another road, a black Porsche 356A drove under an abandoned high-rise building, and Gin went upstairs with a sniper rifle. This was a very good sniper spot.

The night breeze was slightly cool, Gin looked down at the warehouse in the distance and lit a cigarette. He is like an experienced hunter, expecting his prey to fall into his trap.

In the dim warehouse, everything was quiet, only the subtle chirping of insects and the ticking of a clock could be heard.

After making sure that no one was nearby, Mingyue began to observe the ventilation ducts above her head and found a vent that seemed to be open. Unfortunately, it was very high and could not be reached by either of them, no matter who was standing on whose shoulders.

But that may be their only escape route.

There are very few things in this warehouse, except for cardboard boxes and various fabrics.

If the carton was moved to the vent, it would inevitably expose the location where they escaped. In addition, the carton was large and heavy, so it was barely possible to push it, but it was basically impossible to lift it and build it into a staircase.

After Ming Yue thought carefully, he took out a small blade from the gap between the soles of his shoes and made a simple rope ladder using cloth and cardboard boxes. Yuanzi took a look at what Ming Yue wanted to do, then rummaged around for strong fabric and handed it to Ming Yue.

Mingyue rolled the paper shell into a ball again, tied it with a piece of strong cloth, and measured the length, which was about twice the height. Then she chose the right angle and threw the balled paper shell over the ventilation duct support, allowing the cloth strip to fit On the stand. The paper ball slowly fell due to gravity. After catching it, Mingyue pulled the cloth strip and felt that it was very strong. It was no problem for two people to get up.

Yuanzi succeeded once she saw Mingyue, her eyes widened, as if it was incredible. Normally she would have screamed in surprise, but at this time she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

Mingyue looked at the shocked Yuanzi, raised her eyebrows, quickly climbed through the cloth strip to the vent bracket, removed the vent baffle, tied it to the cloth strip, slowly lowered it, and let Yuanzi put the cloth strip down. Tie a simple rope ladder to the other end.

The rope ladder was pulled up by Mingyue and fixed. Yuanzi gritted his teeth and climbed up the rope ladder.

Yuanzi thought it would be easy. After all, it only took a few seconds for Ming Yue to climb up the rope, but it was not as easy as he thought if he really tried it.

The rope ladder was soft and wobbly, the bottom was not fixed, and the focus and balance were difficult to control. I almost lost my footing and fell down several times, and I barely managed to climb to the vent. After climbing into the vent, he slowly exhaled, wiped the sweat from his head, and gave Mingyue a smile.

Mingyue also gave Yuanzi a gentle smile. Mingyue asked Yuanzi to go in first, and then she pulled up the rope ladder, cloth strips, and baffles, and put the baffles back in place so that they could not see how they escaped from here.

However, at this time, there was the sound of an engine outside the warehouse, and the blue Toyota had arrived in front of the abandoned warehouse. Gin saw a blue car driving past through the sniper scope.

The man in the passenger seat put a pistol on his waist, opened the car door with his mobile phone and computer, and got out of the car.

"Give me the phone and I'll try the password." The man held a cigarette in his mouth and reached out to his companion for the phone.

The man handed over his phone, but at this moment, a black bird with a metallic luster snatched the phone away.

The man angrily threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

The man holding the computer looked up at the dark sky and said, "Crow, that thing likes shiny things."

The two entered the warehouse, and footsteps sounded in the quiet warehouse.

The ventilation ducts were very dark, and Yuanzi trembled, a little timid.

Mingyue tied the rope around her waist and Yuanzi's waist, and led the way while Yuanzi followed slowly, feeling the rope.

After crawling a certain distance, both of them heard a ticking sound. Mingyue removed a baffle and saw a bomb in front of her. He pursed his lips and his eyes were cold.

Yuanzi asked in a low voice, "Mingyue, what is this?"

"bomb."

"What should I do?" Yuanzi was very nervous.

Mingyue opened the shell of the bomb and took a look at the internal structure. It can be seen that the bomb was very crudely made, but it had two detonation methods. One was to open it remotely, and a mobile phone was connected to the fuze device with a wire; the other was to Timing, the ticking sound is caused by the movement of the hands. It looked like there was an hour and ten minutes left, and there seemed to be more than one ticking sound.

Mingyue used a razor blade to disassemble the mobile phone, remove the fuse, cover the shell, put the bomb back into place, and reinstall the removed baffle.

"Mingyue, you are so good at defusing bombs." Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed in a low voice.

Mingyue glanced at Yuanzi, who had a disfigured face, and said: "It has not been completely dismantled." She pulled Yuanzi and continued to crawl forward, playing with the mobile phone she had just removed in her hand, but it was a pity that this mobile phone could only receive signals and could not Send a signal.

At this time, the two heard footsteps and the sound of removing wooden boards. Those people were back.

Mingyue was confused, they shouldn't come back. Logically speaking, they installed bombs and sealed them here, so they shouldn't come back to see them again.

Yuanzi was frightened by the sound. He didn't dare to breathe. His heart was pounding and his limbs were a little stiff.

Mingyue noticed that Yuanzi was no longer crawling forward, so she quickly pulled Yuanzi's hand and motioned for Yuanzi to follow her quickly.

After climbing a few steps in the garden, a man's voice came from below the pipe: "Damn it, they ran away!"

Another man looked around and saw that the box had not been moved, so he said, "Not necessarily, it may be hidden. Close the door and check the box!"

The two girls in the ventilation duct on the roof heard the sound of them rummaging, and Mingyue pulled Yuanzi forward quickly.

A man's voice came from behind: "I've searched everywhere, but it's not in the box."

"Kill them when you find them."

Then Mingyue and Yuanzi heard the sound of an ax chopping something.
