Chapter 3442 3454 [Detective Representative]
Medusa smiled and consoled him, "As long as he's still around, it's fine. Once the game starts, we can just call him over. Besides, why haven't I seen Mr. Mummy yet?"
"Who knows where he is?" Maori Kogoro frowned and sighed, "These guys have no spirit of cooperation, and they still want to be extras?"
As he was speaking, suddenly, the lights in the entire cabin went out.
"Ah!" Some timid "monsters" let out bursts of screams, and Vodka's heart skipped a beat. He quickly reached into his arms, grabbed his high-intensity flashlight, and was ready to roll over to the hiding spot he had just chosen.
But at this moment, two flashes of light like lightning flashed in the banquet hall, followed by a faint voice coming from diagonally above.
The Skeleton Captain laughed heartily: "My fellow demons and monsters, I have good news for you! The dishes for tonight's dinner are ready.
"From what I've observed, a powerless and hideously ugly human has infiltrated this demonic party. Now, all demons and monsters, please join forces with your six companions and find that foolish human—we're going to eat his flesh, dig out his organs, and drink his blood!"
The demons and monsters who came to apply for the extras cheered in unison: "Ah ...
"You've said a lot of nonsense, but to sum it up, isn't it just about finding someone?" Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up and he chuckled, "This is our detective's specialty! Right, Jiang Xia?"
Jiang Xia nodded politely.
Maori Kogoro became happier as he spoke: "And since we're looking for someone, there's no need to worry about not having all the team members together. Once we find that human, those clinging guys in the team will definitely come running over on their own!"
The Skeleton Captain's voice continued through the loudspeaker: "Find the key to this human, and I'll hold it in my hands. Demons who desire the reward, come to the deck immediately! I..."
As everyone ran out of the cabin and came to the deck, the skeleton captain standing on the lookout suddenly groaned in pain, and the sound stopped abruptly.
Vodka quietly peeked out from the cabin: "......?"
Why did you suddenly stop talking?
Is he dead?
—Uzo! If you kill him, you can’t kill me!
…
Downtown Tokyo.
A white car was driving through the streets. After passing the main road and passing a residential area, a few flashes of red suddenly appeared in front of it.
——In the middle of the road post with a flashing red light, a truck was parked there quietly. Several workers wearing safety helmets were constantly lifting some heavy objects from the ground and putting them onto the truck.
Another worker waved a fluorescent stick and gestured several times at the white vehicle, which was a signal for it to stop.
"Doctor Shinchu" frowned, stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the roadblock.
The worker trotted over and apologized, "Sorry, the cargo fell off the truck. We are urgently dealing with it - you may have to wait a moment. It will take about ten minutes to get through."
"Dr. Arata": "But I have something urgent to do... Never mind, I'll take a detour."
The worker bowed and nodded, offering another round of apologies. However, just as the white car was about to start backing up, another truck passed by and stopped right behind the white car, blocking all possible routes, along with the roadblocks.
"New Doctor": "..."
…
On the other side, there is a tennis court in the suburbs.
Ai Haibara stood at the top of the stands, looking out at the moonlit sea in the distance.
Suzuki Sonoko stood beside her, looking around anxiously: "There's no place that looks like a factory over there, and there's no place like this... Could it be that the kidnappers didn't hide in the factory, but ran away somewhere else?"
At this time, a police car stopped outside the venue, and Miwako Sato rolled down the window and waved to them.
The two were startled and quickly ran down the stands and trotted over.
Compared to her previous confusion, Sato Miwako's eyes were sharp at this moment, and she had obviously grasped something.
She patted the stack of information in her hand and looked at Huiyuan Ai: Although the other party is only a first-grade elementary school student, the first-grade elementary school students around Jiang Xia should never be underestimated. And this time, it was indeed the same.
"We investigated the nearby factories based on the ideas you provided." Sato Miwako was talking to the two female students while reporting to Inspector Megure next to her:
"Fortunately, this area is quite remote, so there aren't many factories. There have only been seven in the past twenty years, and due to various unforeseen circumstances, they were all abandoned soon after. We've found a total of 16 deaths that were concluded as suicides or accidents."
"Among them, there were five suicides and 11 accidents caused by machinery and chemicals... well, eight of these cases happened in the same factory."
The matter was urgent, so Sato Miwako didn't elaborate, but immediately pointed out what concerned her most: "This factory has been closed for several years. Its director at the time was Kenzo Narimatsu."
"Kenzo Narimatsu?" Suzuki Sonoko patted her head, which had been working at overdrive today, "Sounds so familiar..."
Haibara Ai suddenly remembered something and looked back at the tennis court: "The sponsor of today's Charity Cup Tennis Tournament is Kenzo Narimatsu, the congressman."
Inspector Megure's head widened: "Member of the Council?"
Sato Miwako nodded: "The kidnappers probably didn't kidnap Xiaolan simply for the sake of kidnapping. They probably accidentally leaked the information when they were planning to kill her, so they had to kidnap her.
"And since they appeared near the tennis court, it is obvious that their target of murder should also be here."
She pointed at the stack of documents in her hand and said, "Unlike the other relevant personnel who have already moved, only Cheng Zengjian is currently nearby. In other words..."
With all these situations happening at the same time, a big bloody exclamation mark seemed to appear on Cheng Zeng Jiansan's head.
This matter concerns a congressman and an innocent female high school student. Inspector Megure dared not neglect it: "The police car is too conspicuous. I will send people to find a few more private cars and drive them to the factory to search.
"Besides, the kidnappers might not be hiding in the factory. If we come up empty-handed... to save that congressman's head, it's best to call off this charity cup match immediately."
It looks like we need to split our forces into two groups.
Without hesitation, Haibara Ai quietly followed Sato Miwako and prepared to set off for a nearby factory: compared to a hateful congressman, she cared more about the captured Mouri Ran.
Officer Takagi also wanted to go to the factory, but before getting in the car, Inspector Megure stopped him and said, "Sato and I are enough at the factory. Take a few people with you and go negotiate with the councilor."
