"Keep going."

Noel paused when he heard the words in the earphone.

"Now, move forward," Qian Cheng said in a somewhat irritable voice, even threatening directly, "if you still want to live."

Noel looked forward. Although the shop on the rooftop was not open for business due to construction, the merchant had just moved his things away, but the shop was still there. In front of him was a closed shop. The white roller shutter door obscured the view inside, but it was not locked.

Noel realized something and stepped forward.

"Why is he walking forward?" Someone immediately shouted in Hagiwara Kenji's earphone, which made the police officer who was still lying on the helicopter stairs turn around and see the unlocked roller shutter door of the store in the direction of Noel. He immediately thought of something and hurriedly said, "That store, immediately check if there is anyone inside!"

"Report, there are... there are two people!"

As the report in the headset sounded, Noel walked to the rolling door and stopped. At that moment, the rolling door quickly rolled up, and a figure quickly pulled Noel into it, and then the rolling door slammed shut.

"Damn it, there is still one." Hagiwara Kenji cursed inwardly, looking worried.

Unexpectedly, there were two more people. This situation was beyond the police's expectations.

He realized the reason for letting Noel go was probably to prevent the police from finding someone there and giving them a hostage to facilitate their escape.

But in this case, two helicopters, six people and the hostages were not enough. This made Hagiwara more certain of his guess that Qiancheng and his group had no intention of escaping, but the same could not be said for the other two.

Is that why they were divided into two groups? Why did the other group have to be separated?

Thinking of the doubts he had noticed before, Hagiwara Kenji calmed down and asked the people around him: "Check what illegal organization Cheng Yongtai was involved in, and why are there so many police officers?!"

It would be normal if only the security team came, after all, it had been confirmed that the other side had a bomb. However, when Hagiwara Kenji looked down from the helicopter, he saw police cars everywhere. Obviously, all the police from the first, second and third departments had arrived. What should he do if a case happened in other parts of Tokyo at this time?

Somewhere else?

"Inspector Hagiwara, it's the Fujimoto Group." The person in charge of intelligence on the other side of the headset said immediately, and Hagiwara immediately searched his mind for the recent situation of the Fujimoto Group.

The current head of Fujimoto Group is dead. The eldest son and the second son have been fighting for the position until now. The former was imprisoned some time ago. Fujimoto is involved and is stalling for time. He doesn't want to kill anyone and is ready to go to jail...

"Captain, are you on guard nearby now?" Hagiwara paused for a moment, took out his cell phone and called his own phone number, saying, "Public Security Prison, notify them, this is a diversion, someone might be robbing the prison!"

If the hostage-taking man, Yongtai, had already made plans to go to jail if he failed to escape, then the two people hiding in the store now might not be so. So they not only needed obedient hostages, but also needed to contact the people who were trying to rob the prison. So they deliberately separated from the former group and let the latter negotiate with the police in public, while they focused on commanding the robbery and looking for opportunities to escape with the hostages. But was it necessary? If they were just the commanders, there was no need to go there in person. They could still negotiate from a distance. What could they get by coming to the scene of the kidnapping now? It couldn't be the 2 billion yen.

Noel pretended to be weak and staggered, almost falling to the ground. The sturdy man next to him grabbed his arm, and the other strong man said in a clearly arrogant tone:

"Tie this kid to the chair first."

Hearing this, the sturdy man pressed Noel on the chair and tied him up with the hemp rope used in the store. Although he seemed to be disdainful of Noel, he tied him up quite neatly. Noel estimated that it would take him at least five minutes to untie him, but the chair was very fragile.

What’s even more interesting than this is that he knows both of the men in front of him.

Noel raised his lips slightly, realizing the current situation, and sighed at the coincidence or fate.

The young man with the proud expression, he had seen the character information during the mission to assassinate Fujimoto Yu. He was not a loyal subordinate who wanted to save Fujimoto's eldest son. He was Fujimoto Yu's second son, who had been at loggerheads with his brother during this period.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to kill his brother? Obviously, his brain is not working well. This second son, doesn't he even know that he is being used...

Noel turned his gaze to the second person in the room, a sturdy and silent middle-aged man. Although he looked like a subordinate who followed orders, he had seen this face with Rum before. However, the other party had probably only seen him helping with bandages, so Noel was not worried about being recognized.

Noel, who had already guessed that the other party's target was the prison, naturally realized the organization, or to be more precise, Rum's plan. Presumably, the second son of the Fujimoto family had come up with a clumsy plan to buy weapons from the organization and was targeted by Rum. He was obviously thinking of the code-named members who were imprisoned in the Public Security Prison as he was being stripped of his power. He simply took advantage of the situation and cooperated with the idiot in front of him on the surface. He first used this kidnapping to attract the attention of the police, and then took the opportunity to rescue Tequila and the others. This big favor could help Rum consolidate his position again. It seems that he is in a hurry.

Noel's mood suddenly brightened up, thinking that he needed to notify the public security as soon as possible...but maybe he would not be of any use at all. After all, it was not difficult for someone to guess that the target was Fujimoto Yudai from the Public Security Prison. As for whether he could guess that it was related to the organization, there was also Xiaoguang. After all, they had already contacted each other, right? Thinking of this, Noel could not help but grit his teeth to calm his already unhappy mood.

"Damn, they're so slow," Fujimoto Ze, the second son of the Fujimoto family, kicked something beside him angrily and cursed, "I participated in it myself. If I didn't withdraw successfully from such a big game, wouldn't I be laughed to death? When I get the 2 billion..."

"Notify the guy in front of you and tell the police to stop and fly a helicopter. Once you are sure that the operation is successful, you can grab this guy and get on the helicopter and leave immediately! Now wait, if it doesn't work, let the police get 1 billion first."

Just thinking about it, you know that the amount of money cannot be easily raised. Perhaps only the second young master of the Fujimoto family would believe it. The man next to him thought with disdain that he only brought this young master here because he was confident that he would not be caught by the police. This young master will not be able to leave soon.

On the surface, he seemed to be obedient as he walked up to Cheng and conveyed Fujimoto Ze's words. He also repeatedly assured the other party that they would be able to get the person out even if the other party went in. Then he looked at Noel who was tied to the chair. The bomb was still tied to his upper body so his figure could not be seen clearly. His too long hair covered his eyebrows and eyes. He was panting and looked a little panicked. He didn't even dare to look at his own eyes. He looked like a young animal. He didn't seem to be threatening at all, and his tall figure was in vain.

Was the excessive weight he pulled on the other person just now caused by the fake bomb on his body? The silent man looked at the other person again, and just as he was about to say something, Fujimoto Ze beside him got angry and complained: "Those guys are really useless. I think you are good, why don't you follow me?"

"Let's finish this first." The sturdy man tried hard not to punch the stupid second young master to death. No matter what, Lord Rum's work was the most important now.

"Officer Hagiwara, this former officer is just a cover, the two people in the house are the key!" Conan whispered to his detective badge with the help of Morobushi Kagemitsu and Haibara Ai. When he found out that Kong Ge threw his bug to Officer Hagiwara, he almost cursed out loud. Although it made things much more convenient for Officer Hagiwara, I'm worried about your situation!

"Those two people are from the Fujimoto family, and their target is Fujimoto Yudai from the Public Security Prison." After discovering that the eavesdropping device also has a call function, Hagiwara Kenji had no time to admire the other party's black technology. He knew Conan's ability and said quickly without hiding it: "The squad leader has gone to stop them. The problem now is Xiaokong. They need hostages and they shouldn't hurt them. You guys..."

"I can handle two at the same time," Morobushi Kagemitsu, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly interrupted. Under Conan's confused eyes, the cat-eyed boy chuckled and said, "The anesthetic needle in your watch should be able to control one instantly. Can you give the other one to Dr. Agasa? Just control him for five seconds and I can come over."

"I...I can." Dr. Agasa said without hesitation, then he felt that his voice was too loud and tried to lower it. He looked at the kidnappers. They were surrounding Qiancheng and listening to the phone without paying attention to this side. After all, it was difficult to alert the old people and children who were kidnapped.

"Among them, only Masanari and the guy with the backpack have real guns. Leave Masanari and the one on the right to me. As for the other one with a gun, Conan, you should take it over immediately after you hit him. As for the last one, Professor Agasa, you just need to make him fall down."

"Wait, Xiaoguang, how can you do that..." Conan said anxiously, and even forgot to call Xiaoguang brother when pretending to be a child. After all, in the eyes of a high school student like him, Natsukawa Guang, as a junior high school student, was younger than himself. But in the next moment, he was stunned. He saw that the tape on the boy's wrist had been separated into two parts in the middle. It seemed that there was no problem before because he had kept his hands clasped together. But upon closer inspection, the blade on the fingertips flashed a little cold light, which matched the sharpness in the boy's eyes.

Xiaoguang looks so...sharp. Conan is stunned. In his impression, except for the time when he is with Kong Ge, he would show a little bit of strength. Otherwise, he is gentle and low-key among the children. Sometimes, he is so quiet that people would accidentally ignore him.

"What about Brother Kong?" Conan asked subconsciously, weakening his momentum, but also quickly saying what he cared about most.

Zhu Fu Jingguang said softly: "As for my brother, Noah's Ark will notify him."

"Noah's Ark?"

"I'm here," a strange child's voice suddenly came from the badge in Conan's hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'll notify him the moment you control them."

"How about this?" Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had been leading the conversation from the beginning, asked, but Conan, who still felt that it was not right, could not help but said, "Xiao Guang, you are a junior high school student, how is it possible..."

"Believe him, Conan." Hagiwara Kenji, who had been listening through the eavesdropping device, suddenly said, "He can do it. After all, he is an old acquaintance of mine."

"Are you still playing bass now, Keiko Dana?"
