Chapter 2767 2779 [Fan Density]
"Is that so?" Jiang Xia poked the egg rolls on the plate and put down his chopsticks. "I see. Go raise the money first, and we'll help you figure out the rest."
Dr. Yuan Teng hung up the phone gratefully.
Across the table, Dr. Agasa, who had held his breath, began to move again. He carefully ate a fried shrimp and suddenly thought of something: "Crabs and whales again. Did the kidnappers take the child to the aquarium? - I heard from Ai that they are good at taking care of children. The kidnappers nowadays are really attentive to children."
Huihara sighed, "But, judging from what Endo-san said, the kidnapped Keita first saw a lot of crabs, and then saw a whale spouting water... It's rare for an aquarium to put crabs and whales together. And whales have to float to the surface when they spout water, but crabs rarely move in such a position. This sounds quite contradictory."
Dr. Agasa scratched his head: "Maybe the staff are feeding crabs to whales?"
"..." Huihara Ai felt a pain in her mouth after hearing this. She raised her hand and touched her face. "No aquarium would use this kind of recipe for whales. Compared to this, I think it is more likely to be a model in the aquarium. Although the crab exhibition hall and the whale exhibition hall are rarely next to each other, I remember that some aquariums would display various models in the lobby to display their collections."
"I see!" Dr. Agasa took out his car keys enthusiastically, "Then I'll take you to the aquarium?"
Conan hesitated and said, "But even if they were really in the aquarium just now, and heard the hostages say words like 'crab' and 'whale', the kidnappers would definitely worry about exposing their location and move as soon as possible. I think that Keita might not have said real crabs and whales. Because when he said these words, the kidnappers' first reaction was 'incomprehensible' instead of panic."
Jiang Xia stood up and said, "Children's imaginations are often very rich. It's no use staying at home all the time. Why don't we go for a walk around the hotel we stayed at yesterday and see if there are any crabs or whales? The kidnappers chose that place as the location for the first transaction, which means they are familiar with the environment there. We may find some clues if we go over and take a look."
Conan: “!” Oh, I almost forgot, the reason they went to that hotel yesterday was to follow Boss Amuro and investigate the person that Boss Amuro was following!
This is a good opportunity, but human life is at stake, so we must first consider how to rescue the unfortunate child.
Amidst complicated thoughts, the four people set off in Dr. Agasa's car.
…
On the way, Huibara Ai looked around casually and suddenly discovered something.
She leaned closer to the glass and looked up at the sky: "What is that?"
Jiang Xia lowered his body and looked in the direction she was pointing. He found an advertising hot air balloon floating in the sky. The hot air balloon was made in the shape of a whale, with several huge colorful words printed on it:
I need you
—— Daily TV
"This." Conan also leaned over to take a look. "This seems to be the mascot that Nichiren TV is promoting this year... They actually use hot air balloons for promotion. This TV station is really rich."
Huihara Ai recalled Jiang Xia's speculation, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind: "It has been patrolling along this road. Do you think the 'whale' Keita saw is this whale hot air balloon?"
Dr. Agasa scratched his head in confusion: "But does that mean he saw a whale spouting water? How can a balloon whale spout water? It doesn't look like it's leaking air."
Jiang Xia took out his phone: "Anyway, this is the closest thing to a whale nearby, and it's also the easiest thing to see - I'll first ask where the whale was at the time."
…
The whereabouts of an advertising balloon is never something worth keeping secret.
Not long after, Jiang Xia got a detailed map of the balloon's parade and the specific time it passed through each place from the TV station.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang Xia, what are your plans for this information?" The staff at Nichimi TV was very interested in this. She felt that there seemed to be new news to report. "If you need our help, just let us know." - We will immediately send a large number of reporters to take pictures... to provide support!
"Thank you, but it's not a big deal." Jiang Xia looked at his watch. "It's not convenient to tell you now. I'll tell you when the time is right."
He said goodbye politely and hung up the phone.
The staff on the other side: “…”
What needs to be kept so secret?
Also, when does the time come?
"...What the senior said is right. All the detectives are riddlers. Even Mr. Jiang Xia, who looks easy to talk to, is no exception." The staff member sighed softly.
She took out her wallet and looked at the exquisite business card inside, which looked like a work of art. Her face turned red. "But then again, mystery is also part of the charm. I can understand that!"
After briefly reflecting on the conversation, she picked up the receiver and called a reporter: "Get ready. You may be needed on a field trip later. See who is free and call them together. Get ready to promote with our blue whale mascot."
…
In Dr. Agasa's car.
Jiang Xia checked the time: "When the kidnappers called Dr. Endo, that is, when Keita said 'whale spray', the whale balloon was right above the Beika Park."
Dr. Agasa: "So we are going to Beika Park?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "We don't need to drive too close. We can just find a place where we can see Rice Flower Park."
Dr. Agasa drove back and forth for a few circles. While walking around, Jiang Xia's cell phone buzzed again - Dr. Endo called.
"Mr. Jiang Xia, the kidnappers just called me again." Doctor Endo whispered, "They asked me to go to Sorajuku Station and do the transaction on Platform 1!"
…
Now that we know the transaction location, the next destination becomes clear.
but……
Huihara Ai looked up at Jiang Xia's face: "It was night when we went to Dr. Endo's house yesterday, but it's daytime now... You are too famous, what if the kidnappers recognize you?"
"Leave it to me." Conan stood up in a good mood. He shook his feet and showed his trusted pair of foot-strengthening shoes. "Since the transaction was scheduled on the platform of the station, the kidnapper will probably ask Dr. Endo to get on the train at the last minute after the train arrives, so as to get rid of the possible police. Then I will take advantage of the chaos to sneak on the train and give the kidnapper a heavy blow."
"Let's take a step back." Conan pointed at his high-tech glasses again, "I secretly glued a transmitter to the ransom box. Even if I lose it, I can still find the kidnapper's location."
Jiang Xia nodded solemnly: "In that case, I'll leave the matter to you first."
