In a high-end Western restaurant with a Mediterranean style, Ran Mouri, who had just finished her lunch, was looking at the scenery outside the window with her chin in her hand. She had accompanied Suzuki Sonoko here to meet Michiwaki Masahiko, but who would have thought that the two of them had just said that they had something to talk about and then disappeared.
She frowned and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. She had been out for ten minutes. Even if she had a lot to talk about, it shouldn't have taken her so long to come back, right?
Mao Lilan felt uneasy. She took out her cell phone and called Suzuki Sonoko, but found that the phone was turned off. She realized that something was wrong and walked towards the terrace of the restaurant, but there was no one there.
Oh no! Could it be that Michiwaki Masahiko is the criminal that Mr. Takashi is looking for?!
Ran Mouri, who often appears at the crime scene, is no longer as capable as before. She keenly realized the seriousness of the situation and took out her mobile phone to call Sosuke Takagi, but suddenly something covered her mouth and nose. Before she could use her elbow to attack the person behind her, sleepiness swept over her body and she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she felt like her whole body was suspended in mid-air, and the feeling of her limbs being bound made her uncomfortable. She wanted to see the surroundings clearly, but her eyes were covered by a black cloth, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see anything.
Mao Lilan frowned tightly, trying hard to suppress the fear in her heart, and mustered up the courage to ask tentatively:
"Who is it? Who tied me here?"
However, there was no response, and the room seemed empty.
Mao Lilan struggled hard for a few times, and she could clearly hear a crisp sound by swinging her limbs with her waist. It seemed that in order to ensure that she could not escape, the criminals did not use a rope, but an iron chain that was more difficult to break free.
She shouted loudly several times, but still no one responded to her. It seemed that it would be difficult for anyone to hear her even if she shouted at the top of her lungs in the place where she was. All she could do now was to conserve her energy and wait until someone came into the house before considering what to do.
At the same time, on the other side, Suzuki Sonoko, who had fallen asleep inexplicably during the conversation, rubbed her eyes and got up, only to find that her hands were tied with ropes. What was going on? Wasn't she chatting with Mr. Michiwaki on the terrace?
She looked around in surprise, only to see Michiwaki Masahiko staring at her with a dagger in his hand.
What's going on? Why is Mr. Michiwaki holding... No, why am I tied up?!
Suzuki Sonoko tried to clear her sleepy brain a little, and then she heard Michiwaki Masahiko, who was sitting in the driver's seat, sneer and pat the back of her hand with a dagger. His tone was completely different from his previous polite appearance:
"Miss, you're finally awake? How was your sleep? Did you sleep well?"
"You, Mr. Michiwaki, are you kidding me?" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't believe her current situation. She tried to look calmer, but the smile she forced on her face was uglier than crying.
"Are you kidding? No, not at all." Michiwaki Masahiko raised his digital camera, which he had checked countless times, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Ms. Suzuki, you mentioned the photo before, didn't you? Did you take a more important photo last night when you were wearing a yukata and passing through the forest?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Suzuki Sonoko was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She had never taken any strange photos, and she didn't know what the photos that Michiwaki Masahiko mentioned looked like.
Michiwaki Masahiko didn't expect Suzuki Sonoko to be unwilling to admit it at this point. He directly opened the car door and pulled her out of the car. He completely lost his patience and asked coldly:
"Are you still playing dumb when the time comes? Didn't you take a photo to show some detective? You might think it's just a couple being intimate, but what you captured is me committing a crime. If you want to live, give me the photo first."
Suzuki Sonoko finally realized that Masahiko had misunderstood the meaning of the photo. She held back her tears and pretended to be calm. The only way now was to save herself. She subconsciously held her breath and said in a trembling voice:
"I printed out the photo and put it on me, in the inside pocket of my pants. If you help me untie myself, I'll get it for you."
"Hmph, don't try to play any tricks on me. I'll take it from that pocket myself."
"left."
Michiwaki Masahiko took a step forward and reached into Suzuki Sonoko's left trouser pocket. Unexpectedly, just as he closed the distance between them, the frightened girl in front of him kicked him in the crotch with all her strength. The intense pain made him unable to react in any other way. He fell to the ground with his back hunched, staring fiercely at Suzuki Sonoko who took the opportunity to escape.
This woman is exactly the same as the guy who deceived me. I must kill her and tear her mouth full of lies!
"Stop right there!"
Suzuki Sonoko naturally wouldn't obey, she desperately ran towards the forest, hoping that with luck she might survive. As she ran, she thought about the men who approached her for money in the past, why couldn't she meet a man who was truly good to her?
Is God being a little too harsh? Is she not worthy of being loved?
Fujiwara Yu, who had already arrived at the restaurant, quickly pushed the door open and walked in. Before the waiter could even say "Welcome", he interrupted the other party and raised his police ID and asked:
"I'm a police officer. Did a young man just come here with two young girls? One girl has long black hair, and the other girl has short brown hair!"
"Yes, yes. The manager was furious with me just now because they left without paying the bill. Are you here, police officer, to investigate the dine-and-dine scam?" The waiter was still a little angry when he thought about this. He really didn't expect that those three people who looked like decent people would actually do such a thing as dine-and-dine.
When Edogawa Conan heard this, he became extremely anxious. Just as he was spinning around, a figure suddenly caught his attention. He quickly grabbed Takashi Sosuke's trouser leg and shouted:
"Brother Yingsi! That man with glasses just now ran into the forest. He's the guy from the seaside restaurant yesterday. He got angry at us for no apparent reason!"

Is it the male waiter with the same skin color as Hattori Heiji?
Fujiwara Yuu frowned slightly, ignoring the waiter's confusion as he turned and headed towards the forest. He felt this man was suspicious. He had even observed them yesterday, and after their eye contact, he had pretended to work... Could he be Michiwaki Masahiko's accomplice? Did his rush to the forest prove that the two kidnapped people were still alive?
Unfortunately, the forest was overgrown with bushes, and Conan Edogawa lost the tree after following it for a short while. He was so angry that he kicked an innocent tree root, but what he didn't expect was that his luck was a bit against the will of heaven.
He never expected that this kick accidentally hit the man with glasses who was hiding in a tree and observing their movements. Then he saw Sosuke Toji staggering backward, and before he could stand firm, he was kicked again and fell to the ground.
"Brother Yingsi!"
