Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

The taxi sped through the night and soon brought Conan and Xiaolan to the address left by the client.

After paying the fare and getting out of the taxi, what came into Conan and Xiaolan's sight was a luxurious courtyard. At the same time, there were more than a dozen men and women standing at the main entrance of the courtyard. Among them, the middle-aged man in the leading position was particularly conspicuous, which could be seen from his expensive suit and temperament.

Xiaolan asked, "Excuse me, is this Gu Xian's house? I'm a detective from the Maori Detective Agency."

"Yes, yes, yes! I am the client on the phone, Tani Daisan. Detective Maori, you are finally here!" (The series did not mention what Mr. Tani's name was, so I made up this name randomly. Please forgive me.)

Just as Conan had deduced, the client, Tani Daishan, had no idea about the situation at the Maori Detective Agency. He rushed over and held Xiaolan's hands tightly, then shouted excitedly: "Please help me, Detective Maori! As long as you can find my precious daughter, the commission fee is not a problem!"

"Okay, I...I will try my best."

Xiaolan was a little confused by Gu Dashan's excited attitude. She was forced into a situation and suddenly had the urge to run away. But then she thought that the person who was kidnapped was Mr. Gu's own flesh and blood, so his fierce attitude seemed quite reasonable.

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Xiaolan recalled what Conan had told her in the car before, and then said, "Please lead the way. I need to go to the crime scene first for a preliminary analysis."

"Okay, come this way, please."

Led by Gu Dashan, the group headed deeper into the courtyard and soon arrived at a back garden with rockery and a pond.

Gu Dashan introduced: "It is here that my precious daughter Jingzi was kidnapped. Detective Maori, please feel free to look around. As long as you can find clues, you can even tear this place down."

"Ok."

Xiaolan walked into the back garden and pretended to look around, but in fact she was attracting the attention of everyone in the Gu family so that Conan could look for the real clues.

Under the gaze of more than ten Gu family masters and servants, there was really nothing to see. Xiaolan clenched her fist and coughed lightly, then put on a very professional look and asked: "May I ask if there were any eyewitnesses at the time, or who was the first to arrive at the crime scene."

"It was me. I was at the scene when the young lady was kidnapped."

An old man in a butler's uniform walked out of the team and began to narrate: "My name is Aso, and I am the master's butler. I was watching the young lady playing with a ball when suddenly a masked man jumped out and held the young lady hostage. He said that if the company was not closed for a month, the young lady's life would be..."

Butler Aso did not continue to say the following words, but anyone who is not a fool can understand what he meant.

Xiaolan, who was full of justice, was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Damn it! Who on earth would do such an outrageous thing! To actually attack an innocent little girl!"

Gu Dashan shook his head solemnly, "I don't know, but when we run a company and do business, it's easiest to get into disputes with people. My company has had conflicts with many companies in the same industry. Maybe one of them is holding a grudge against me."

"Excuse me, was the person kidnapped here?"

Just as Gu Dashan was guessing who the kidnapper might be, Conan walked to the corner of the back garden. Just as Conan was looking around carefully, suddenly a fierce dog barking sounded in his ears!

"Wang!"

"Whoosh!"

A hunting dog that was slightly bigger than Conan jumped out from the bushes and rushed directly towards Conan!

"careful!"

Xiaolan was frightened when she saw this scene. She immediately rushed forward and wanted to kick the hound away. However, the following scene was beyond everyone's expectations.

The moment the hound's eyes met Conan's, its originally ferocious temperament instantly became listless, and it even lay on the ground with its tail between its legs, looking extremely scared.

"Hand out."

"Woo..."

The hound obediently placed its paw gently on Conan's hand.

"Turn over your belly."

"Woo..."

The hound turned over and lay on the ground, exposing its belly, and even stuck out its tongue in a flattering manner.

"Good dog."

Conan gently stroked the hound's belly to show his praise.

Gu Dashan was surprised when he saw this: "Little brother, you are amazing. My giant never gets close to outsiders, but you can actually tame it."

Conan smiled innocently and said, "Maybe I am more popular with the big dog. By the way, uncle, is this big dog usually here?"

Gu Dashan blurted out without thinking: "That's right, this back garden is where the giant usually lives, and it can be used to guard the house."

"That's it~"

Conan still had a childlike innocent smile on his face, but his lenses had begun to reflect light secretly.

Seeing this, Xiaolan pretended to be calm and squatted beside Conan and whispered, "Shinichi, did you find anything?"

"Well, this kidnapping case is actually like this..."

Conan leaned over to Xiaolan and whispered his discovery in her ear, and Xiaolan listened attentively, afraid to miss a word.

After memorizing all of Conan's reasoning, Xiaolan stood up and faced the Tani family, or more precisely, Butler Aso in the crowd.

Xiaolan: "Butler Aso, according to what you described, the place where we are standing now is the crime scene of the kidnapping case, right?"

The Massachusetts housekeeper nodded slightly: "That's right, the young lady was kidnapped by that mysterious man here."

After receiving this answer, Xiaolan felt relieved instantly. She then looked at the other servants and asked, "In this case, I would like to ask everyone else present, besides the call of Butler Aso, did anyone hear any other sounds at the time of the incident?"

"No."

"I only heard the voice of Butler Aso, and nothing else."

"I happened to be nearby, but when I rushed over, Butler Aso was the only one left here."

The servants of the Gu family looked at each other, and finally gave a very consistent answer. At the time of the incident, only the voice of Butler Aso was heard.

Seeing that the foreplay has been almost done, Xiaolan gave Conan a [heavy punch] as Conan had instructed!

"If that's the case, don't you all think it's too strange? Conan was just standing here and was almost attacked by the Big Mac. If the kidnapper came from outside, why didn't the Big Mac take any action? Not even the most basic barking."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Gu family felt their heads buzzing! As the first person to discover it, Butler Aso broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and his feet involuntarily moved back.

"Grandpa Butler, where are you going?"

"Ok!"

Butler Aso turned around and found that Conan had appeared behind him without him noticing, with a maturity and sharpness in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age!

"Big Mac's breed is an Alsatian wolfhound. This kind of hound is extremely loyal and obedient, and will not back down even when facing an opponent stronger than itself. If there really was a kidnapper coming in at that time, Big Mac would definitely not remain indifferent."

Although Conan's voice was still clear and tender at this moment, it was filled with a sense of oppression, which made Aso, the butler who was over 60 years old, couldn't help but tremble in his legs.

Conan continued, "That's right. There are too many things about this kidnapping case that are incomprehensible. But if you eliminate all the unreasonable factors, there is only one truth!"

Conan suddenly pointed at Butler Aso and made the final judgment like a judge!

"This kidnapping case is completely fabricated. From the beginning till now, it has only been you who has been performing a one-man show!"

"thump!"

As Conan uttered the last word, Butler Aso's mental defenses finally collapsed completely, and he fell directly to his knees on the ground.

The truth is self-evident.
