Chapter 2083 2091 [My Good Subordinates]
This photo proved that the dark-skinned man had no alibi - the person who kidnapped Akane Katori was actually this "outsider" who was supposed to have nothing to do with the incident.
Jiang Xia glanced at the hot air balloon in the distance: "After kidnapping someone at the windmill cabin at around 1 o'clock, they appeared here again at around 2 o'clock. They can't go too far with the hostages. We should be able to find the missing Miss Katori by following these two places."
…
On the other side, Hashimoto Maya sneaked across half of the venue to the place where he was meeting with Ireland. On the way, he pressed his knitted hat and pushed the sunglasses on his nose to confirm that his outfit was very recognizable. Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief - hoping that Lord Uzo would recognize that he was his loyal subordinate at any time and not hurt him by mistake.
As he was thinking, when he was passing through a relatively old alley, he suddenly saw two familiar figures.
Hashimoto Maya was startled and dodged behind an obstacle. He looked over there quietly and found that Grandma Ohga, who was wearing a kimono, was standing alone with the dark-skinned man. They were whispering something and seemed to be in a relaxed atmosphere.
"This old man and this young man seem to get along very well..."
Maya Hashimoto carefully avoided people she knew, took a shortcut, and quickly went to the designated meeting place in Ireland.
Every cadre in the organization was armed with a sniper rifle, and they all seemed to have a special liking for high places. Hashimoto Maya had heard of people who liked to ride roller coasters before a deal, and people who liked to ride Ferris wheels when they had nothing to do... and Ireland seemed to have the same habit.
Maya Hashimoto raised her head and looked into the distance and saw the hot air balloon park in front of her.
"Sitting on this thing does allow you to have a panoramic view of the entire situation, but after it takes off it's neither touching the ground nor the sky. Isn't that a bit dangerous?" Hashimoto Maya was quite dissatisfied with the meeting place chosen by her former boss.
But there are so many passengers in Huis Ten Bosch, and apart from the hot air balloon, there are few places that are absolutely quiet and can't be eavesdropped. As long as you check the power unit carefully before taking off, there shouldn't be any problems.
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya approached that direction nervously.
…
After he left.
On the side of the road, Grandma Daha and the dark-skinned man were still chatting casually.
The dark-skinned man, like a cute and considerate grandchild, asked Grandma Da He: "I remember you said yesterday that you like high places very much?"
Grandma Da He: “That’s right.”
At this time, she looked forward and inadvertently saw a large ball whose style was out of tune with the surroundings across an artificial lake full of Western European style.
"Hmm? What is that, a hot air balloon?" Grandma Da He said this and suddenly understood, "You want to ride that."
The dark-skinned man smiled and said, "Yes, this is something really high enough." It can make people fly to heaven.
…
The originally very quiet hot air stadium is about to become lively.
However, all this has nothing to do with the detectives who are still looking for Katori Akane.
"Where is it?" Suzuki Sonoko ran around many small scenic spots, panting heavily. She took the drink that Jiang Xia had bought at some point, gulped it down, and finally recovered a little. "This tourist area is too big. Why build it so big? My legs are almost broken from running."
Mao Lilan drank from another bottle and felt the same way: "Before, I thought that compared to the lost little ring, a living person should be easier to find, but who knew..."
Who knew that compared with the entire scenic area, people were not much better than the ring, and they could not be found once thrown into the corner.
Curacao thought of what happened not long ago, turned his eyes to the river, and looked at the spacious canal: It couldn’t be in the river.
Just then, the bell tower nearby began to jingle. She was startled and turned around to see what she saw.
"There are five bells hanging there, but only four of them make sounds." Conan suddenly looked over there, "Some of the bells don't seem to ring!"
Curacao looked at him in surprise: This kid is quite amazing.
But after all, he was just a kid who hung out with Wuzo every day, so when she thought about it, any abnormality suddenly became normal. Moreover, this long string of retro clocks was very attractive to children. Curacao didn't think much about it. Seeing Jiang Xia and the others running towards the clock tower, she followed the crowd.
After entering the bell tower, they walked up the stairs and suddenly saw a dark object behind a shelf - it looked like a person lying on the ground.
Jiang Xia walked over, lifted the cloth on the ground, and it was indeed Akane Katori underneath.
Akane Katori's high heels were hooked on a string. Seeing that someone had really come, she was very excited: "Quick, go find grandma, Takahashi wants to kill her!"
Mao Lilan squatted down to help her untie the rope, and Jiang Xia glanced at Suzuki Sonoko and said, "Call and ask."
Suzuki Sonoko responded and called the groom. Without waiting for a moment to exchange pleasantries, she got straight to the point: "Where is your grandmother now?"
"Grandma?" The groom scratched his head. After a while, he finally remembered, "Oh, Mr. Takahashi seemed to have taken her to ride a hot air balloon just now. He said that if we can make grandma happy, there will be no problem with our wedding."
Suzuki Sonoko got angry when she heard his silly tone: "Hurry up and call her to tell her not to sit down. Mr. Takahashi might be a dangerous person!"
…
The other side.
A few minutes ago.
Compared with the old lady on the other side, Maya Hashimoto is, after all, a young person in her prime.
He was tall and had long legs, and he walked very fast because he felt guilty. Therefore, although he started late, he arrived at the hot air balloon site earlier than the dark-skinned man and Grandma Da He.
The hot air balloons here are very grand, with the basket below having a diameter of five or six meters. For safety reasons, they are surrounded by a chest-high fence.
It is actually not the time for the hot air balloon to be open, but Ireland used the organization's funds to buy two gold VIP tickets, so the hot air balloon can be opened specially for him.
Hashimoto Maya came to the hot air balloon. The staff looked at him, who was covered tightly, and was stunned for a moment: "Are you... Mr. George?"
Hashimoto Maya nodded.
The staff member opened a small door on the fence and said, "Please come in. Your friend is waiting inside."
Maya Hashimoto stepped in with gritted teeth, and at a glance she saw Ireland, whom she had not seen for a long time... No, it should be said that although she had not seen him for too long, it felt like she had not seen him for a long time.
Just as Uzo said, when Ireland saw him, there was no fierce look on his face, nor was there a sneer. Instead, he showed a consoling smile, as if commending him for his good work recently - from this point of view, the former boss really didn't know that his confidant had been transferred.
...and it happened to be transferred to his opponent's name.
