Chapter 2732 2744 [James]
Unlike the two Uzo minions, one large and one small, the two high school girls next to them understood this collection behavior very well: "I see! You really have a sense of ritual."
Conan walked calmly between them, separating Mao Lilan and James.
Then he looked up at James, intending to take advantage of this rare opportunity to ask the next question - such as the last time he saw this old man being taken away by the police at the magic museum.
But before he could open his mouth, the experienced FBI took the initiative. He touched Conan's head vigorously, making this talkative elementary school student dizzy and said, "I remember now! You are the kid who is always on the news with Jiang Xia. No wonder you look familiar. You are as cool as the Baker Guerrillas! By the way, I was also born on Baker Street."
Seeing that Conan was about to recover, James said, "It's fate that we met. Why don't I treat you guys to a meal?"
...While eating, perhaps Akai could set a trap and capture Hashimoto Maya while she's alone to get some clues.
This impromptu plan flashed through his mind, and he smiled: "I know an Italian restaurant that's delicious!"
"!" Suzuki Sonoko was planning to find a place to have lunch. Hearing this, she said happily, "Thank you very much."
James thought about the appropriate terrain for the arrest: "It's a little far over there, we have to drive there - I'll drive my rental car over, you guys wait here."
With that he turned and left, walking through the alley and to the parking lot on the street.
As soon as he was out of sight of Usa's minions, he took out his cell phone and quickly sent an email to Akai Shuichi, explaining the current situation.
While James was staring at the screen of his mobile phone.
Behind him, a dark shadow peeked out from the corner of the alley, looked at his back, and slowly grinned.
…
Entering the parking lot, James put away his phone and stuffed a few coins into the automatic meter.
The interception device under the tire then lowered.
James opened the car door and was about to get in when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Huh?" He was startled and turned around, only to see two middle-aged men in coats and with square faces appear behind him.
One of them took out his ID and pointed to the car in front of him: "We are the police. Is this car yours?"
James was confused: "Yeah."
The policeman frowned and said, "This is a stolen car."
"Stolen car?" James quickly explained, "To be honest, I actually rented this car."
This is the truth - the budget has been getting tighter recently, and Judy's sports car that was washed away by the water is still fresh in his mind. James knew that he might be targeted by Uzo on this trip, so he didn't dare to lose another new car.
So he picked a relatively cheap car to rent, but now...it turned out to be a stolen car?
Another police officer said: "A week ago, the owner reported to us that he had lost the car - where did you rent it? Please tell us your name, address, contact information..."
As he was talking, he simply said, "Forget it. There's a lot of information to register. Let's go back to the police station. Come with us. The police car is over there."
James looked where he was pointing and saw a parked police car behind the building.
He touched his chin, and felt that he smelled a hint of a trap. However, under the watchful eyes of the two policemen, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he followed their directions and walked towards the police car.
After opening the car door and before getting in, James turned around and asked tentatively, "Speaking of which, I have a few friends nearby - can I say hello to them first?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a click and something cold and hard pressed against his waist.
"?!" The sound of the gun being loaded was so familiar that James knew, without even lowering his head, that what was pointed at him was the cold muzzle of a gun.
"You..." James' heart skipped a beat, and his heart finally fell to the ground in a deadly way: the police were just investigating a stolen car, and there was no way they would use guns to threaten innocent people. In other words... his bad premonition came true, these were two fake policemen.
And they are two fake policemen who are very aggressive and can take people’s lives at any time!
"Damn it, I was careless. I thought at most I would be taken to the police station and lose face in front of the police, but now..." James felt heavy-hearted and realized something terrible, "The stage has been escalated."
——From a simple mental attack, it has escalated to a physical attack that can take someone's life.
In order to avoid being invited for tea by the police, he didn't even bring his gun with him when he went out, which meant that when facing two armed assailants... he completely lost the ability to confront them head-on.
James: "..." So this is also part of that guy's plan? !
An FBI has mixed feelings. However, the two people behind him will not stop.
Seeing the foreign old man frozen in place, the fake policeman with a gun lost his patience and pointed his gun hard at him: "What are you doing? Get in the car!"
"Don't waste your time talking to him." Another fake policeman snorted coldly, strode forward, hit James on the back with the butt of his gun, and pushed him into the car.
A keychain fell from the hapless hostage and landed on the ground on the street with a clatter.
"Huh?" The fake policeman heard the noise and looked down.
Finding that it was just a souvenir distributed by the circus that had fallen, the two men were too lazy to pay attention to it. They kicked the thing away, then got on the car, one on the left and one on the right, flanking James.
The driver in front looked back and stepped on the accelerator. With a bang, the police car carrying the hostages sped away.
…
James looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the car window, hissed, and covered his hand: "You are too rough, my fingers are cut."
The fake policeman who looked righteous rolled his eyes and said, "It's broken, so what? A cowboy is making a fuss over such a small injury? How hypocritical."
James: “…” Huh?
The fake policeman on the other side laughed and said, "'Western cowboy'? What a way to flatter yourself. This guy is just a lucky upstart. There's nothing special about him."
Hearing this, James finally realized what was wrong, and he quickly said, "You are wrong, I am not that Huo..."
"Shut up." The kidnapper interrupted coldly, "We don't want to hear any nonsense. Just let your two children pay the ransom."
James: “…”
Can these damn kidnappers be more professional? You kidnapped the wrong person!
…
The sun moves westward.
On the street where the magic show was held, Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand to block out the sunlight and muttered, "It's been 40 minutes, why hasn't Mr. James driven his car over yet? - Is he driving or building a car?"
