Chapter 2596 2608 [Join the Police]
Vodka listened to Sato Miwako's question and his eyes twitched slightly: "..." Why am I wearing a hospital gown? You should ask the thing behind you!
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the thing looking at him and making a surprised sound: "How did it become like this? Are you okay?"
Vodka: “…”
Haha, that little thing that is being kidnapped should really be asked to come back and see what real acting is.
While muttering to himself, he brushed off the dirt on his body: "Nothing, I just accidentally fell while trying to avoid the flower pot that fell from the upstairs."
Officer Sato was startled, and sensed something was wrong: "A flower pot that fell from upstairs?"
At this time, Inspector Megure walked back from the nurses' station and interrupted the conversation.
The inspector was first pleasantly surprised to have met a capable brother, and then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "It seems that my guess is correct - according to the nurses' description, it was Conan and his friends who came to visit Jun Kataoka not long ago.
"But the nurse said that four of them came together and four of them left together. Xiaochun was not with them."
As he was speaking, suddenly, Mr. Kataoka's cell phone rang.
He was startled and picked up the phone carefully. After listening to a few words, his face changed drastically: "What did you say? Xiaochun is in your hands?!"
Jiang Xia glanced at him and motioned for him to turn on the speakerphone.
Mr. Kataoka nodded and quietly pressed the hands-free button. The next moment, the kidnapper's voice came from the clear receiver: "Listen carefully, immediately prepare 30 million old non-consecutive banknotes and a sturdy enough bag. I will tell you where to put the money later."
Mr. Kataoka calmed his tone and said, "Where's Xiaochun? Let me make sure he's safe first, otherwise there's no point in discussing this."
The kidnapper laughed: "Don't worry, your son is fine now. I will let you hear his voice now."
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the phone, as if someone was walking in an empty room.
Hearing this voice, Vodka almost raised a gloating smile on his lips: the robbers obviously wanted to kidnap the young master of the Kataoka family, but accidentally kidnapped the kid of the Uzo family... According to his many years of experience, once the kidnapper knows that he has kidnapped the wrong person, he will most likely execute the unfortunate kidnapped person on the spot in order to silence him and vent his anger.
Thinking of this, Vodka looked at Mr. Kataoka and prayed silently: Find out quickly that the person on the other end of the phone is not your son, and then expose this fact ruthlessly!
As he expected, the kidnapper's footsteps finally stopped and stopped next to the hostage.
"Kid, your dad wants to hear your voice." The kidnapper sneered, "Hurry up and say something for him to hear."
"..." Conan was also aware of the consequences of exposing the truth. Cold sweat ran down his back. He missed his anesthetic watch and foot-strengthening shoes terribly.
However, it was too late to regret now. Seeing the kidnapper's eyes become suspicious, Conan closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to let out a pitiful and helpless "Dad!"
Mr. Kataoka: “!”
His son's voice changed with fear. He felt sorry for it and said anxiously, "Xiaochun! Don't be afraid. Dad will definitely save you!"
Conan: "..."Thank you so much.
Vodka: “…?” He could get away with this? How can you be a father? You can’t even recognize your own son’s voice?!
On the other side, in the abandoned factory.
The kidnapper looked at the kid in front of him, thought about how calm he was before, and then looked at him now. He couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the phone: "After all, it's just a little brat - Hello? Your son is so scared that he can't speak. Hurry and prepare the money, otherwise this little baby will be scared to death here, hahahahaha."
He hung up the phone with wild laughter.
…
"Oh no, what should I do now?" Mr. Kataoka tried to call back, but the other end did not answer.
He had no choice but to look to the police for help: "Can you locate him?"
"We'll try our best." Inspector Megure asked, "This time the kidnapper didn't use a voice changer. Can you tell his identity from his voice?"
Mr. Kataoka shook his head. "I have no impression of him at all. He must be someone I haven't met before. But speaking of voice, Xiaochun's voice sounded very weak. I almost didn't recognize him. Is he really okay?"
The police looked at each other, it was difficult to answer such a question, but they still comforted him: "The kidnappers have no reason to hurt a child who is powerless. He should just be scared. First, prepare the cash as the kidnappers said. We have to use it as bait to lure the guy out."
After confirming that the missing child had been kidnapped, the police did not continue searching in the hospital. They withdrew their manpower and began to focus their attention on finding the kidnapper.
The terrible "police search of the building incident" was finally over. Vodka breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to lie back on the bed and relax.
However, when he walked out the door and saw the heavy decorative flower pot in the corner of the corridor, Vodka's steps suddenly stopped.
Vodka: “…” No, this is probably another trick to make me let my guard down. Don’t I know about ouzo?
"The police did leave, but if you think about it, I am just an ordinary citizen who is currently in hospital. Those police officers who seemed dangerous actually posed no threat to me, but were my protection."
Vodka pondered deeply, and a script quickly formed in his mind: "I was secretly glad that the police had left, but then the kidnapper's accomplice suddenly appeared and killed me in some unexpected way. I thought I was safe, but I fell into danger after the police left... Haha, this kind of contrast must be what Uzo wanted to see this time."
"We can't let him have his wish!"
"If you want to defeat Uzo, you must defeat yourself first - doesn't that guy love to predict? Let him see that people cannot be completely predicted!"
Thinking of this, Vodka gritted his teeth and overcame his usual thinking. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and grabbed Inspector Megure.
Inspector Megure staggered as he was dragged. He turned back in confusion: "What's wrong, Brother Yamada?"
Vodka took a deep breath and said, "I think I saw the kidnapper."
Inspector Megure was shocked. He didn't expect that Brother Yamada had hidden important clues here: "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!"
Vodka looked guilty: "I was walking in the garden before, and I saw a beautiful flower in the bushes. I couldn't help but take a closer look. Who knew that as I was looking at it, someone suddenly jumped into the bushes and bumped into me."
The organization cadre said softly, "I was dizzy and blurry. I saw him drop a large cloth bag. Before I could get up, the man picked up the bag and ran away in a hurry."
