Chapter 2598: 2610 [Kidnapped the Wrong Person]
This sounds like a good idea. Inspector Megure looked at Vodka, only to see that this guy stood up actively... and then covered his legs with his hands with a hissing sound.
"My legs hurt so much." Vodka staggered, "Damn it, I must have twisted them when I was hiding from the flower pots just now - but it doesn't matter, give me a crutch, I can go!"
Jiang Xia: “…” Vodka’s acting skills have improved, but it seems like he’s trying too hard. It seems like I have to suggest to Gin later that Vodka come out more often to learn from Vermouth alone, so as not to waste his talent.
"Uh, forget it, forget it." The stunned Inspector Megure quickly stopped the disabled but strong-willed brother and said, "These are our police affairs. How can we let you take risks? Aren't they just passers-by pretending to be strolling? I'll let two of my subordinates play the role."
Vodka: “But…”
Inspector Megure said firmly: "Okay, you can rest in peace. Takagi, Kamikawa, you protect Mr. Yamada and don't let the kidnapper who wants to kill him succeed."
Officer Takagi and the honest-looking police officer: “Yes!”
…
After the kidnapper made the call, he was in a good mood to learn that the other party had already prepared the money.
At this point, there is no need to carry that troublesome little kid around with you anymore.
The kidnappers originally wanted to silence the person, but then they thought: if the matter was exposed, with a hostage, they could threaten the police.
With this in mind, he found a basement and threw the child in there: "Stay still, I'll let you out once I get the money."
——This is a lie. Once he gets the money, he will immediately cut off all communications and run away.
As for this little devil, it would be a good idea to let him starve to death in the basement and silence him without leaving any trace.
The kidnapper hummed a song, slammed the door, locked it, and strode away.
Conan noticed his intention: "..."
"Calm down. Although I don't have any props now, this is at least much better than falling into the hands of the organization." Conan clenched his fists and encouraged himself secretly, "I must leave here alive and find out the conspiracy of that organization and Vodka!"
…
“A-choo!”
Vodka sneezed and looked around alertly.
However, nothing seemed unusual - Jiang Xia was whispering something to those familiar police officers, while Inspector Megure was concentrating on directing the next action.
"When handing over the ransom, if the kidnapper brings Xiaochun here, then we will take action on the spot and arrest him!" Inspector Megure said:
"If you don't see Xiaochun, or you can't confirm it, then let the prisoner leave first. We can use the transmitter in the ransom package to track him to his lair and rescue the hostage."
Hearing this, passers-by reading newspapers on the benches in Dajin Park, vendors selling snacks from carts, customers reaching out to take half-cooked meals in front of the stalls... all responded at the same time: "Yes!"
Vodka, as a "detective assistant", watched all this from a God's perspective, feeling happy: in the past, when he encountered such a scene, his heart would have jumped into his throat. But now, he could sit in the car, blend into the police group, and become a member of the arrest team.
"Uzo's perspective is so happy." Vodka muttered to himself, "After changing my mindset, these stupid policemen seem a lot more pleasing to the eye... But there is a question, are Uzo's traps really that easy to deal with? Can I really get through the rest of my life safely just by changing my attitude towards the police?"
The organizational cadres who had fallen into too many traps touched their chins and felt that the peace of mind that had just been put at ease was forced to be raised again.
…
Under the watch of the police and "passers-by", Miss Ezaki drove to the stone bell in Dajin Park as the kidnappers said.
Not long after we arrived, a small truck with a courier logo on it drove over. It circled around and stopped next to Miss Ezaki.
Inspector Megure sat in the command vehicle, craned his neck to look out the window, and asked his subordinates over the radio: "How is it, are the hostages in the car?"
The subordinates were also anxious: the kidnapper's position and angle were just right, and he had perfectly avoided all police eyes. They could not see the situation in the car at all.
Fortunately, there was someone who could see it.
Miss Jiang Qi looked into the car and asked anxiously, "Where's Xiaochun? Why didn't you bring him with you?!"
Her voice was transmitted to the police officers through the tiny microphone hidden in her collar.
Inspector Megure's heart sank: Oh no, it seems the kidnapper this time is not an honest man.
Since the hostages are not here, the police cannot act rashly. Otherwise, if the kidnapper has accomplices and they kill the hostages in revenge after he is arrested, things will be very troublesome.
Thinking of this, Inspector Megure could only give the order to "wait and see" and listen carefully to the movements at the transaction scene.
The kidnapper laughed and said, "Bring the hostage with you when you collect the ransom? Do you think I'm stupid? Don't worry, I've left him with my friend and will release him when I'm safe. But if I'm intercepted by the police... humph, you know the consequences."
As he spoke, he snatched the ransom package from the woman's hand, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.
Officer Sato was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and chased after it. She held onto her headphones and squinted at the truck going away, then reported the license plate number to her superior in the command car.
Inspector Megure nodded: "Set up a checkpoint immediately and move the helicopter over - human lives are at stake, we must not let that guy escape. Whether Xiaochun can come back alive depends on us!"
…
While the police were busy rescuing Jun Kataoka.
A few kilometers away, in a newly opened game hall.
Jun Kataoka was tapping away on his game console, a rare smile on his face.
"Um, Xiaochun..." Yoshida Ayumi always felt a little uneasy, "It's almost time, should we go back to the hospital?"
Kataoka Jun looked at his watch and said, "It's okay, there's still time."
Kojima Genta and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave. But they didn't want to be scolded either, so after a moment of hesitation, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko suggested, "How about this, let's play for another 10 minutes and then leave!"
Yoshida Ayumi sighed maturely, "Then everyone stand together and don't play too scattered - I just vaguely saw a news broadcast in the window across the street, it seems that a child about our age was kidnapped. Sigh, human traffickers are so rampant nowadays. I don't know what happened to that poor child."
…
The poor child who was also kidnapped was in the basement, fighting against the sturdy iron door with his bare hands like a savage.
"Damn, this door is too strong." Conan finally realized that he seemed to be too optimistic: when Jiang Xia and Xiaolan were here, the door was just a decoration in his eyes. But now, when he was alone facing this iron door...
"It's all the Black Organization's fault." Conan sighed, "If I weren't in this tiny body, I would have been able to break the door open."
