Chapter 17151723 [Dark Deal]
When Conan heard this topic, his mind immediately focused on the main business. He suddenly had a guess: "Car accident?" - For example, four years ago, President Takei drove drunk and hit Secretary Hanai's brother, then fled in a hurry, disguised the accident as an accident, and left no evidence... He seemed to have seen many similar cases.
Secretary Hua Jing shook his head: "My brother was murdered."
Yoko Kinoshita's train of thought just now went astray, just like Conan's.
Hearing the truth, she was stunned for a moment: "…" There was no conspiracy, he was just killed? So direct. After all, who had the heart to kill such a young child?
Secretary Hanai mentioned the sad thing and did what she had always wanted to do: "Let me hold you for a while." As she said that, she squatted down and hugged Conan.
Jiang Xia quietly poked her head out from the door and saw that Secretary Hua Jing's posture had pulled up her clothes, exposing a part of her forearm. There was a circle of light white marks on her left wrist.
Conan was a little sad at first, but when Secretary Hanai hugged him, her wrist was right in front of him. He also saw the mark and his face changed.
Jiang Xia gathered the clues and secretly shrank back under the worried gaze of Kinoshita Yoko.
Secretary Hanai did not stay any longer. She looked at Conan and said, "I'll go prepare lunch for you."
With that, she let go of Conan, stood up and left.
…
Secretary Hanai originally planned to find something to eat for Conan first, and then go with the president to exchange the hostage ransom at night.
But just as she reached the corridor, she suddenly found that Katsuhiko Takei had answered a phone call. Then the president frowned, picked up the ransom box in the study, and strode out the door.
Secretary Hua Jing was startled and quickly followed: "What's wrong?"
Katsuhiko Takei said irritably, "There's a problem at a branch office. I'll go take care of it. After that, I can go find the kidnappers. I don't have to come back here."
"You still have the energy to go to work at this hour?!" Secretary Hanai was so angry that she was shaking, but she found that she couldn't stop him, so she could only grit her teeth and follow him, "...I'll go with you. It seems that the kidnappers didn't say that we can't bring secretaries this time."
Katsuhiko Takei was a little scared to face the kidnappers alone, and wished he had someone with him. He nodded, and they left together.
When they arrived at the garage, Secretary Hanai drove the car while Katsuhiko Takei put the ransom in the back seat. As soon as he closed the car door, he suddenly received a message.
[The transaction time has been changed. Come to Xiaoshan Automobile Factory immediately to pay the ransom. If you dare to call the police or find a detective, we will kill you immediately. I will only give you half an hour. If you are late, you will have to collect your daughter's body.]
Katsuhiko Takei was furious: "…Why did they choose to find me at this time? This kidnapper has no sense of time at all. He changed the scheduled schedule without any hesitation!"
Secretary Hanai looked at him in the rearview mirror: "Are we going to the branch office or to the kidnappers?"
Katsuhiko Takei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go save Naoko first."
…
"Oyama Automobile Factory..."
At the same time, this location also appeared on another person's mobile phone screen.
Ireland originally thought that Wuzo would be punished for such a big incident. However, in reality, he did not hear any such rumors. Wuzo's deeds were still circulating in the organization, but he, the victim, was warned by the higher-ups that his previous group message was suspected of leaking cadre information.
When Ireland received the condemning email, he wanted to crawl along the email and knock open the heads of his superiors to see if they were filled with Uzo, but it was obvious that his strength was not enough to compete with the entire organization, so he had to suppress this ridiculous idea.
But this did serve as a reminder to Ireland - it showed that the organization valued Uzo more than himself. If he wanted to deal with that bastard again, he had to be careful with his words and actions and try not to leave any handle.
Therefore, Ireland preferred to talk to Bourbon in person rather than relying on evidence such as emails. He had checked before and heard that Bourbon's experience with Uzo was not much better than his own.
Most of these mystical lone wolves are both proud and vindictive. Bourbon will surely be a good ally in dealing with Uzo. At least even if he disagrees, he will not leak the conversation and let Uzo get the advantage for nothing.
But Bourbon's vigilance was higher than he thought, and he didn't look like a friendly army in distress. Ireland, who took the initiative to approach Bourbon yesterday, didn't gain any trust, and he was not at ease talking to Bourbon anywhere.
So in the end, Ireland had to cede some initiative and allowed Bourbon to provide several locations for him to choose from, and then he would immediately go to the appointment after choosing one.
Bourbon's list was sent over quickly.
Ireland considered the comprehensive conditions of these locations and chose a place that had been abandoned for several years, the Hill Car Factory, and reported the news back to Bourbon.
…
"The Oyama Automobile Factory." Amuro Toru was not surprised by Ireland's choice. He sneered, "This desolate place with its own horror legends that citizens dare not approach is indeed the favorite gathering place for those timid rats in the organization."
Undercover agents are called rats in the eyes of organizational cadres, and organizational cadres are also called rats in the eyes of the police.
Toru Amuro feels disgusted with all the cadres equally. He becomes a lone wolf to protect his undercover identity and also because he gets annoyed by seeing those guys and wishes he could pick up a gun and shoot a bloody hole in each of them.
However, now that Ireland has offered it to him on its own initiative, Toru Amuro will certainly not refuse this kind of information.
Amuro Toru was also quite satisfied with the location chosen by Ireland. He had come here to trade several times before and was very familiar with the surrounding environment. There were rivers and forks in the road, and the terrain was complex. He could hide or retreat, and it was very convenient to deal with any situation.
The two cadres made an appointment to meet, and to prevent the other party from setting an ambush, they decided to set off immediately. The conversation between the two parties was not held at night, because sometimes there are more people in the abandoned factory at night, and during the day, people who should go to work and go to school go to school, and few people have nothing to do to go to the abandoned factory for excitement.
Toru Amuro looked at his watch, got into the car, and drove to the agreed place.
…
On the other side, at President Takei's house.
As Secretary Hanai closed the door and left, Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko walked out from behind the door.
The three reunited criminals looked at each other, and Kinoshita Yoko was about to ask what to do next when she suddenly heard Jiang Xia say, "Call the police."
Kinoshita Yoko was startled and asked in a low voice: "Won't it alert the kidnappers?"
Jiang Xia: "The kidnapper is probably that secretary."
"I see." Kinoshita Yoko nodded halfway before reacting, "…Who is it?!"
...Ms. Hanai must be the one who is most worried about Takei Naoko. How could she be the kidnapper?
