Chapter 2248 2260 [Not necessary]
In the house.
The kidnapper leader was tied to the ground. Not until the pain in his back subsided did his confusion gradually become clear and he realized what had just happened.
——He originally wanted to pour a basin of cold water on the tall passerby who was dragged in to wake him up, force him to tell him the whereabouts of the disk, and then kill the two hostages... But before he could even pick up the basin, he and his little brother were knocked down by a few punches, without even a chance to resist.
…What kind of monster did this old guy give the disk to!
As his thoughts turned, the kidnapper leader suddenly had an inspiration.
He immediately said to Akai Shuichi: "Don't do it, in fact, everything is the fault of this old man! - If he hadn't stuffed the disk into your hands without permission, how could we have attacked you? He should be your enemy!"
Shitara Shigekichi's face turned pale, and he instinctively retorted, "I didn't! I gave the disk to Mr. Tanaka, not to this violent... cough, not to this hero, this is your fault!"
Who told you to randomly arrest people from the lair without screening them before arresting them! ... I don't know where this person came from. Could it be that the other party is targeting the disk and intends to silence everyone at the scene?
The kidnapper leader was stunned when he heard this: "Wait, what do you mean? You didn't give the disk to this person?" He looked at Akai Shuichi blankly, "Then who are you?"
Akai Shuichi: “…” I’m his friend.
He wanted to say this, but he knew there was no need to explain it to the kidnappers, so he didn't say it.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the kidnapper leader and said treacherously, "'That person' is very dissatisfied with your performance."
The kidnapper leader had a question mark on his forehead: "…" Who? Which person? What is this guy talking about?
He had a background in gangs, and after quitting, he used the money he saved to start this company.
Now that the confidential information has been leaked, the kidnapper leader learned that his opponent was just an old man in his 70s. He was too lazy to hire extra people and immediately went back to his old business, taking a few of his former subordinates with him to carry out the kidnapping.
These things were all arranged by him and decided by him...but from the mouth of this tall guy, it seemed as if there was a mastermind behind the scenes directing them?
He was briefly dazed.
Separated by a wall.
Conan couldn't see the kidnapper's expression, so everything that was happening in the house, when heard by the elementary school student, turned into a different development.
Conan: "..." Why did the kidnapper remain silent on such a simple question?
Normally, when facing a wolf that had let the wolf into the house, with a huge gap between the enemy and us, shouldn't he immediately give out the president of this company, or the president of that Mihua Construction Company? There was no need to keep such a secret, the other party could guess it.
But judging from the kidnapper's sudden silence and the "that person" mentioned by the tall man, there seemed to be something else going on. In other words, the kidnapping was not ordered by the presidents of the two companies, but by someone else?
A series of thoughts quickly formed in my mind: Behind this seemingly ordinary kidnapping case, there is a mastermind, and the tall man who was taken hostage is the scavenger sent by the mastermind to clean up the scene?
Conan has been in Tokyo for a long time and has had countless experiences with similar things.
He immediately assessed the situation - the kidnapper had been subdued and the hostage was trapped on the sofa in a daze.
So now there is only one most dangerous factor in the room: the tall guy sent by the mastermind. And this guy’s purpose is most likely to kill everyone present after forcing out the information they want to know, in order to please "the person" behind him!
Conan: “…” It’s too dangerous, we must not let him succeed.
The elementary school student relied on his short height and low presence to sneak a peek through the crack in the door.
After seeing the situation and positions inside clearly, he nodded slightly and a plan came to his mind.
…
One minute ago.
Vodka stopped in the alley, unable to go back or go forward, so he had to wait anxiously for Gin's instructions, hoping that this thigh could show him a safe and smooth path from a distance.
However, after waiting for a long time, Gin's email did not come. Instead, there was a faint "click" sound above his head, as if someone had stepped on a tile.
“?!”
Vodka jumped up, but before he could look up, a figure flew through the air and landed lightly in front of him.
"Wu...!!!" Vodka almost howled, but as soon as he uttered a sound, he immediately covered his mouth to avoid being accused of "leaking cadres' information" by Wu Zo and being executed without his permission.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said quickly and quietly: "What do you want to do? Brother Gin already knows you are here, and the Boss is also watching you, don't mess around!"
Under Vodka's vigilant gaze, the little bitch on the opposite side made a voice without any words: "Mess around? When have I ever messed around? I'm here to help you."
Vodka: "..." You're already helping me by staying away from me! !
He wanted to shout like this, but he wanted to hurry up and get away from Jiang Xia, and shouting this would waste a few more seconds.
After calculating carefully, Vodka said seriously: "I'm busy with work, I'm leaving first, you don't have to follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to run away, but at this moment, a voice behind him said, "Wait."
“…”
Vodka wanted to pretend that he didn't hear anything, but his body honestly stopped - he had already imagined himself rushing out and stepping on a bomb and dying on the spot, and afterwards Uzo's innocent look when he said to other cadres, "I tried to stop him, but he didn't listen."
Countless experiences and reasoning told him that, at least when they met face to face, he had to listen to what Uzo said.
Finally, Vodka turned his head stiffly. He looked at Jiang Xia who was so close to him, and began to wonder whether he should risk angering his elder brother by making a video call to Gin and using live broadcast to tell Uzo not to act rashly.
However, at this moment, he heard Jiang Xia say: "Gin asked me to escort you to the car - let's go, where is your car?"
Vodka was stunned: "...What?"
Jiang Xia: "'You must ensure that Vodka is fine and gets in the car and leaves' - this is the message Gin just sent me."
Vodka: “…” Thank you, big brother, but it’s not necessary, just tell him to stay away and don’t do anything… But think about it carefully, Uzo’s stage is very spontaneous, and when they are running, perhaps even Uzo can’t make them turn stiffly at any time.
In other words, if I want to leave safely, maybe I really need this annoying guy to escort me?
...and this is the message sent by big brother Gin. Even if he refuses, Uzo will definitely use chicken feathers as a token to force him to obey, otherwise he will put the blame on him.
After quickly assessing the current situation, Vodka gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your help."
