Early in the morning.
The rain that had been falling for several hours finally stopped.
The quiet moonlight cut through the clouds, accompanied by scattered starlight.
The chill is getting thicker and the temperature is getting lower. The wet soil is mixed with leaves and turf, making it stick to the ground.
Next to the road surrounded by dark forests, a car without a number plate was parked near the dead trees.
The two people turned their backs to the moonlight and did not make any movement, but there was an argument.
"Where has your usual cleverness gone? You actually kidnapped a detective who has a good relationship with the police for me!"
"How do I know that the famous detective Mouri Kogoro will show up... Maybe he knows that rich man, so he just doesn't do anything..."
In the trunk, Mouri Kogoro, who had been jolted halfway, woke up, heard this sentence, and his expression suddenly showed a trace of unconcealable horror... He looked at his daughter next to him, whose mouth was taped and in a comatose state. , in order not to alert the kidnappers, they could only try their best to break free from their tied hands and feet.
At this time, he heard the kidnappers outside continue to say:
"Idiot! You'll get caught by the police. Don't you think it's enough trouble? Get rid of him!"
The words fell, followed by the roar of a locomotive engine that became increasingly distant.
"MD, this is a thankless job, come on! Just do the work and just leave me here..."
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately stopped struggling and quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. At the same time, he also prayed in his heart that his daughter must not wake up at this time, otherwise the other party would be forced to silence her even if she didn't want to. Silenced.
The dim moonlight shone into the trunk through the gradually widening gap.
Mouri Kogoro quietly squinted his eyes, but unfortunately, due to the angle, he only saw the man directly in front of him who was lifting his legs.
The other party is about 1.8 meters tall, and his face is covered in a hood. Other than that, there is no other information.
A few minutes later, he and Mao Lilan were left under a big tree on the side of the road.
It wasn't until the two kidnappers drove away that Mouri Kogoro suddenly opened his eyes, and was shocked to find that only the two of them were left here.
...Conan, and the young students they met on the road! ?
…
The next day, noon.
Conan woke up from a coma with a splitting headache. Subconsciously, he raised his eyes to observe his surroundings, and was shocked to find that he was lying on a bed surrounded by a white partition curtain.
Where is this?
The scene before coma flashed subconsciously in his mind.
Villa in the mountains, strange little boy...
etc! Where is Xiaolan? Where's the uncle? What about the young student?
An inexplicable panic surged into my heart.
Conan turned over and was about to get up, but the weakness in his arms caused him to fall back before he could complete the movement.
"anyone there?"
A hoarse and deep voice came from his mouth.
He sadly discovered the fact that he had a cold... and it was a very serious one.
There was slight itching and pain in my wrists and ankles, but fortunately my movement was not restricted.
He breathed a few helplessly, spent more than a minute gathering strength, and finally gritted his teeth and stood up, leaning his back on the pillow.
After all this tossing, most of the quilt covering him was lifted, just enough to reveal a brown-gray pajama underneath.
Huh? Isn't this what I packed in my luggage...
Conan was stunned. Before he could start to associate or reason, the curtains surrounding him were suddenly opened by a hand, revealing Gao Yuanyao's sleepy face.
"Kid, you're awake."
"Haruka, Brother Haruka...where are we?" Conan asked hoarsely.
"We had a kidnapping incident at a clinic in a nearby village."
Ye Gengyi said, yawned under Conan's curious eyes, turned around and walked to another hospital bed to lie down, and then... covered him with a quilt.
Conan: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻...What the hell is going on with these people! Can you die if you speak clearly?! Can you die!
"Cough cough cough... Haruka, brother Haruka..."
Conan coughed several times, and his face turned red from holding it in. However, the voice he shouted was so hoarse and low, without any penetrating power at all.
Therefore, Ye Gengyi naturally pretended not to hear and ignored him at all... and sighed in his heart that risks and benefits coexisted, and it would not be a bad thing to cooperate with the strange doctor and his group.
For example, the influenza virus fed to Conan was an improved version extracted from poultry. If nothing else, the detective boy would be weak for at least a week.
The most critical part of Ye Gengyi's strategy was to prevent Conan, a primary school student who did not have the capacity for civil conduct, from obtaining any information in this incident.
As early as early in the morning, Ye Gengyi and the strange doctor left Maori and his daughter on the roadside.
He arranged for Nasha to go to a nearby village to call the police. The content was that an unknown number of robbers had kidnapped his master and the guests who came to stay in the villa.
Later, Ye Gengyi asked the strange doctor to check on Conan's condition, and told him to remind Onisuke, who could not show up easily, to hide well. He used the excuse of contacting a friend to separate from him, activated the makeover card, and passed the time difference in front of the police. Appears as a rich man with a bad temper who is kidnapped for ransom.
The kidnapper just let him go?
The police were naturally suspicious.
Then, on the way to the villa, they found the Maori father and daughter who were also abandoned on the roadside.
The famous detective 'accidentally' heard the kidnapper's conversation as evidence. Although the amount of information was very low, he could still intuitively infer that the kidnapper gave up the kidnapping because he was concerned about the relationship between the famous detective and the police.
At this moment, the master played by Ye Gengyi broke out.
He first angrily rebuked the kidnappers who broke into the villa, and then not only did he not thank Mouri Kogoro for saving him, but he angrily stated that it was because of this plague detective's visit that he encountered such bad luck.
And the reason for his outburst is relatively clear. His surname is not 'Yanaka'...
During this period, Ye Geng seized the opportunity of Conan's absence and kept paying attention to the expression of this 'famous detective'.
But what made him a little regretful was that the other party did not show too alert reaction, and Mao Lilan had always been worried about the safety of Conan and Gao Yuanyi.
So, Ye Gengyi found an excuse and angrily stated that he was feeling unwell and wanted to go back to the city to recuperate. The police would cooperate if necessary, but he definitely didn't want to go with some plague detective now.
Faced with this request, the police, who had long had enough of the two people's quarrels, decisively agreed.
After Ye Gengyi left, he became Gao Yuanyi again, and a few hours later he successfully allowed the police to find himself, the strange doctor and Conan who were abandoned by the kidnappers in the forest.
A button-type microphone hid the particularly memorable timbre of the strange doctor.
Facing police questioning.
The strange doctor also pretended to be an ordinary mountaineer, and had an incomprehensible attitude. He failed to provide any information or clues related to the case.
Immediately, he left his contact information, told the police as a victim to contact him if there was any progress, and left the village clinic.
