Chapter 2735 2747 [Passing by] Ask for monthly ticket ()
"I originally wanted to take a risk to get some information, but I didn't expect it to have other uses." Conan sighed, fiddled with his glasses, and muttered to himself, "Let me see where he is now..."
Soon, the direction was displayed on the lens: the signal point was 16 kilometers northwest, and it was moving north along Shengmao Street along the Diwujin River.
"This speed of movement is indeed in a car. This makes things easier..."
Conan glanced at Hashimoto Maya with fear, then opened his email and quietly sent a message to Jiang Xia.
Feeling the vibration in his pocket, Jiang Xia took out his phone. He looked at the screen, then at Conan who was playing with his phone next to him as if nothing had happened: "..."
After a moment of silence, the high school detective put away his phone to show respect for his classmates and turned to Officer Sato who was standing beside him: "I just received a message from a concerned citizen - Mr. James is now on Ikumo Street moving towards the Saitama Line. If we set up a checkpoint there, we may be able to intercept him."
Setting up checkpoints requires a lot of formalities. Officer Sato was stunned: "Who is that enthusiastic citizen? If he witnessed the kidnapping and is willing to come forward to call the police, we should be able to dispatch an interception."
Conan: “…” It’s because I can’t show up that I sent a message to Jiang Xia!
Jiang Xia also looked embarrassed: "The other party used a virtual address. He didn't seem to want to reveal his identity."
Hashimoto Maya: "......?" An enthusiastic informant who didn't want to reveal his identity? James had just been kidnapped, and the news of that person was sent to Jiang Xia, which was too timely. In addition to this sneaky behavior... Could it be that there are other colleagues of the King of Volumes hiding in some corner that he didn't know about?
One of Wuzo's men took a silent breath and felt the pressure around him increase again.
Meanwhile, Officer Sato quietly had another idea.
Miwako Sato: "..." The timing is too good, could it be that some FBI member sent the message? ...What are those guys who illegally carry guns every day doing? Are they trying to use the police to do something shady?
Obviously, the FBI agents, who looked like outlaws, did not leave much of a good impression on Officer Sato.
But no matter what, the person being kidnapped is still a life.
After thinking for a while, Officer Sato said, "Although it's not easy to set up a checkpoint directly, Yumi just sent a message complaining about a traffic accident, and she has to rush to deal with it. The location happens to be on the road you mentioned. Why don't I ask her to help check to see if there are any suspicious vehicles there."
As a busy police officer, Officer Sato was undoubtedly very active. She quickly called her colleague, recalled the appearance of "Mr. James", and told his characteristics to Yumi Miyamoto who was in charge of the traffic section.
"If you find a similar vehicle, find an excuse to seize it." Officer Sato said, then suddenly remembered something. She took a few steps to the side and lowered her voice, "The people in the car may be carrying guns. Be careful not to arouse their suspicion."
——Last time, James was called to their police station because of illegal possession of a gun. This time, that guy might not change his behavior and continue to possess a gun.
And being able to kidnap an armed FBI agent shows that the other party probably has weapons...
Realizing this, Sato Miwako became more and more worried.
She hung up the phone and said to Officer Takagi, "Let's go over and take a look."
Officer Takagi: "Huh? Oh, okay!"
Officer Sato turned to the high school students and said, "This could be very dangerous. You guys just wait here for news."
After saying that, she trotted to a nearby car with Officer Takagi and drove to the place provided by the "enthusiastic informant" who sent a message to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia nodded and watched her leave obediently.
As soon as the police car left, he turned to Hashimoto Maya and said, "Let's go check it out too. Did you drive here?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go at all.
But……
He took a deep breath and put on an anxious look as if he was trying to help someone in need: "I'll go drive the car over here."
He jogged toward the parking lot just as another car drove by on the street.
Maya Hashimoto was horrified and instinctively wanted to look over, but he quickly suppressed the thought, pretending that he was just an ordinary passerby, and continued to drive as Jiang Xia said.
The others didn't think too much about it. When they saw a car passing by, Suzuki Sonoko casually glanced inside.
Then he stood there in a daze.
"???" Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her eyes and poked Jiang Xia, "Did I see wrongly? How did Mr. Hashimoto drive past us?"
Jiang Xia was also staring at the car: "It must be an illusion. Maybe it's just another person who likes to wear knitted hats."
"Knitted hat?" Conan was startled by this keyword, and a figure suddenly popped up in his mind: it was the guy who was hit by a car but was unharmed!
"Why did he happen to pass by here?" Conan felt that the tangled thread in his mind seemed to have some direction, but he couldn't resolve it for the time being. "Could he also be related to what happened today?"
…
On the other side, on Shengmao Street.
A truck overturned on the side of the road, with a long line of cars stuck behind it.
Beside the street that was forced to stop, a female traffic policewoman with smooth long hair yawned, squinted her round almond-shaped eyes, and looked listlessly at the long line of cars in front of her.
"Kidnapping and armed attackers...it sounds too fantastic." Yumi Miyamoto was puzzled and somewhat doubtful about what her colleague said.
But thinking that Officer Sato was generally reliable, she patted her face and cheered herself up, looking for cars one by one: "Foreigners, foreigners, elderly foreigners..."
Unfortunately, however, every car was filled with impatient East Asian faces.
At this moment, a police car in front opened its window, and a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses leaned his head out of the car and waved at her.
"Hmm?" Yumi Miyamoto looked at this strange colleague curiously and walked over. "What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man sighed and pointed at the man with his head covered by clothes in the back seat: "Can you let us go first? We have to take this guy to complete the scene search before the end of the shift."
"You are escorting a suspect." Miyamoto Yumi looked at the busy scene and expressed deep sympathy. She stood up and made way. "Go ahead. I'll tell my colleague in front."
The people in the car smiled and nodded at her, stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly drove away.
Yumi Miyamoto stretched and continued to check the other vehicles behind: "Foreigners, foreigners..."
…
"Haha, this girl is so gullible."
After successfully passing the checkpoint, the fake policeman in the fake police car put away the pistol that was pointed at James and couldn't help laughing out loud.
