Conan Moslin

"The criminal in the serial murder and kidnapping case escaped from Kyoto. And caused a case in Kyoto. It is said that one of the kidnappers was arrested in Beihua for murder." Nanami glanced at the rearview mirror in front of her and did not see any expression on Li An's face.

"After the boy in Kyoto was kidnapped, his family received a call from the kidnappers asking for a ransom. After the family paid the ransom, the kidnappers still injured the child and fled with the money."

"The clues the police got from the children were later confirmed to be false information."

"Because of the misleading information, the police did not find the child before the kidnappers got the stolen money."

"When the police found the child, he was already dying."

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat solemn.

"Mr. Katagiri, don't you know too much?"

Katagiri Nanami's originally depressed expression froze, and then she quickly put on a smile: "I didn't get this news. I have a detective friend in Kyoto who is investigating this matter..."

It’s amazing, why can’t I help but want to say so much when I hear this child asking?

Sanxiong on the side joked: "Don't be afraid, this kind of thing...how could it be so coincidental that we would run into it."

The car stopped.

Li An: No, we are about to meet.

……

Also driving to Teitan University were butler Aso, the driver, and Kogoro Mori.

There is also a dog.

Taking a dog into the battle was not a good choice, but it seemed to know that its little master was in danger and insisted on squeezing into the car.

Since they chose this place as the location for delivering the ransom, it means that the place where they hid the child must be nearby.

So no matter what, they had to go.

Now, several people held their breath and listened to the movement on the other end of the phone.

It seems like there is only this one mobile phone in the world.

The phone here is on speakerphone, and the same is true over there.

The kidnapper's voice was heard over the phone, but it was somewhat distorted.

They can't tell what the person's true voice is.

"Is the money ready?"

"I'm already preparing. Please...please give me a little more time! Excuse me...please...please let me hear my granddaughter's voice!"

"Okay!" The man on the other side sneered, "I'll let you listen!"

Kogoro Mouri listened to the sound carefully.

The surroundings were very noisy and he heard many people talking.

It was a crowded place, but no one noticed it.

It should be a closed warehouse or something like that.

The surroundings seemed to be quiet for a moment, and almost immediately afterwards, a crisp voice shouted, and the voice was unusually clear in the noisy environment: "Grandpa! It's the school warehouse! There is a huge chimney nearby, and a white 'Campus Festival' slogan... Mmmm..."

"Damn it! Shut up!"

The other party hung up the phone.

Perhaps she knew that she had reported the wrong phone number, but because the other party had not exposed her before, and she was sure that the housekeeper's friend would help to contact him, so Tani Jingzi continued to act.

Although this would expose the fact that she had seen something, she still wanted to pass on this information in order for them to find her as quickly as possible.

Tani Jingzi knew that she was safe until the ransom was paid.

Jingzi!

Chairman Gu clenched his fists tightly.

Kogoro Mouri pressed the stop recording button and began to analyze it carefully.

Near Teitan High School, only Teitan University is holding a campus festival today, but things like slogans for campus festivals are not unique to Teitan University.

Will they choose Teitan University, which is closest to Teitan High School, as a base to hide the children?

If you think the most dangerous place is the safest place, then it is possible.

But it does not rule out the possibility that they are not here.

Because the slightly farther Mika University and several other universities are also preparing for campus festivals in the next few days.

This is what I said before, [Marquis of Buye] has received many letters.

The campus festival of Beihua University was held a month ago, so it can be ignored.

There are also some high schools that will hold campus festivals, but the exact time...how could he know it so clearly!

Another point, what about the chimney?

There are no chimneys to be seen near Teitan University...

This kind of thing should be asked to Xiaolan and the others... You can ask them later, no, you can ask them now.

They reached their destination.

They've narrowed the scope, so they'll definitely find the child!

With this thought in mind, Chairman Gu and others arrived at the gate of Teitan University.

People come and go in groups of three or five, making the scene very lively.

There were children and some other people.

Inspector Megure also arrived at the same time.

But no police car came.

After all, the transaction took place here, and driving a police car here would be too conspicuous.

Although Chairman Gu tried to stop them from calling the police, it was impossible.

It would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the police officer if he did not call the police upon learning of a kidnapping case.

While Inspector Megure was inquiring about the situation, Kogoro Mouri saw a rather luxurious car at the door, followed by a somewhat familiar Beetle.

Two men, a woman and a child got out of the car in front.

Three children rushed out of the Beetle and started chattering about something with the child in the front car.

Take a closer look.

It was Conan who was dragged out to play.

I didn't recognize the two men, but the woman was obviously Kuroba Kuriyasu, who was moving things out of the trunk.

Seeing them, Li An walked over.

Chairman Gu had just received the ransom neatly placed in a briefcase from the secretary who had rushed over. He turned around and saw Mr. Mao Li looking in that direction with some surprise.

Butler Aso also shifted his gaze over there.

At the same time, Miss Suzuki Sonoko, who received the news from the driver and came to look for someone, also arrived at the gate with Mao Li Ran.

But it's not over yet.

Across the crowd, the handsomely dressed and long-haired "big boy" put down his phone, ignored the whispers of a group of girls around him, and the doctor next to him, who looked similar but was half a head taller than her, also turned his gaze over.

When the eyes of several parties met, this large group of people gathered together.

This pot of stew is really lively.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still an hour left until the time the kidnappers said.

Kuroba Kuriya felt that whether she wanted to or not, she would have to get involved in this case this time.

Just like now, Conan has left the others behind and ran to Inspector Megure, asking seriously if anything had happened.

"Chairman Tani's daughter has been kidnapped..." replied Officer Megure.

Kidnapped!

Just as Conan was about to continue asking questions, he was hit by a slap.

"Ouch!"
