the other side.
Because Maori Kogoro, Maori Lan and the maid Nasha all said they could not see the kidnapper, the investigation reached a deadlock for a while.
No one died, no property was lost, and all the kidnapped people were rescued...
During this period, they had to go to the villa again to look for clues.
The police were inevitably startled after seeing the strange decoration.
However, these were naturally expected by Ye Gengyi.
In advance, he found some paintings that 99.9999% of people couldn't understand but could be auctioned for hundreds of millions of dollars. After asking the maid to list them, he used the all-purpose reason of 'art' to explain the style of this villa building. , successfully silenced everyone.
In this situation, if the victim were an ordinary person, the police would definitely advise the reporter to go back and get some sleep on the grounds that "there are no clear clues for me to arrest" and not to cause trouble for other people's work.
But... the victim knew the famous detective Mouri Kogoro who was the leader of the Metropolitan Police Department.
In desperation, the police station was fully mobilized and has been busy from early morning until now.
Fortunately, in principle, detectives are not allowed to participate in police searches without invitation.
In the end, Mouri Kogoro could only leave one sentence, "I hope the kidnappers can be caught as soon as possible." After that, he and Maori Lan took their lunch and went to the hospital to confirm the conditions of Conan and the young students.
After listening to Mao Lilan's story, Conan felt bad.
In other words, they came to a strange villa inexplicably, were kidnapped inexplicably, and then were released inexplicably...
However, it was this kind of incident that sounded suspicious but had absolutely no logic to follow, which really stumped him.
There are no clues and the truth is a complete mess.
Wait... where's that weird kid?
Conan asked this question in a hoarse voice.
Ye Gengyi's answer is simple, in one sentence: "I don't know."
Conan is dead...
Noticing Mao Lilan's stiff movements as if she was frightened, Ye Gengyi's tone was still light and gentle, but the content sent chills down the spine:
"Actually... I still don't know if that child is a human being. His body is very hard, like a corpse, but he can walk, move, and make sounds strangely... If he is hit by something like that entangled and appeared in our lives..."
"Ah! Stop talking!"
Mao Lilan interrupted with a pale face, feeling that the temperature in the ward had dropped a lot.
Mouri Kogoro said with half-moon eyes: "How could there be such a thing? Could it be that you are dreaming?"
Please, how could two people have the same dream... Conan had a bad cold and could only squint at his servant.
"Well...because I fell into a coma after that, and I'm not sure what happened next. Maybe that person was the kidnapper's accomplice, but he was shorter."
Ye Gengyi shrugged and said slowly: "We'll just wait for the police's investigation results, but... I don't want to stay in this place for a quarter of an hour longer."
"Yeah yeah!"
Hearing this, Mao Lilan hurriedly added: "We'd better go back as soon as possible!"
She had been saying this since she went to the villa yesterday, but it was only now that she got the approval of Mouri Kogoro.
The tool man curled his lips in displeasure and said, "Hey, I lost a lot this time... I have to call the real client to explain it properly when I get back!"
He spoke the word 'real' very clearly, obviously thinking of a certain 'villa master' who made him very unhappy.
"I think...it would be better to go to the villa again..." Conan objected in a hoarse voice.
Then he was brutally suppressed by Moori Kogoro:
"What are you going to do! Go home!"
Huh... I'll ask the doctor to bring me here if I have the chance in the future. Conan sullenly stopped talking.
…
The car was driving on a misty mountain road.
Looking out through the glass, everything in sight is covered with a white veil.
"Really bad."
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Why does it feel like the fog is getting thicker and thicker."
"Really, really..." Mao Lilan's voice was trembling, "Obviously you can see very far at the foot of the mountain, but now you can only barely see the guardrail next to the car."
Please, how long do you have to be afraid...
Conan looked helpless and couldn't help but explain in a hoarse voice: "There is nothing we can do about it. At this season, there will be heavy fog due to the temperature and humidity. Besides, it rained last night... cough cough cough……"
Mouri Kogoro taught him a lesson: "You kid, since you are sick, please stop talking to me!"
"Yes... Conan, you can lie on my lap and sleep for a while. When you wake up, we will be home." Mao Lilan said.
"Uh...well, it's not impossible..."
Conan's face turned red, he muttered something under his breath, and was about to lie down on his side.
From the passenger seat, the young student said: "Mr. Maoli, the speed is a bit too fast."
"Oh, don't worry," Mouri Kogoro said as if he was venting his pent-up emotions: "Yesterday I went the wrong way because I was driving too slowly. No one would drive fast in this foggy weather anyway. We are safe..."
"No, what I mean is that there is an inspection ahead," Ye Gengyi said: "If we just break through like this, the police probably won't give up."
"Eh!?"
Mouri Kogoro was startled, focused his gaze back to the front, and quickly stepped on the brakes to slow down.
"Could they be searching for the kidnappers?" Mao Lilan guessed.
"Impossible." Mouri Kogoro said: "It has been so long. If those people wanted to escape, they would have left Gunma County long ago."
This was also the reason why he chose to leave after searching all morning to no avail.
The car slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Mouri Kogoro lowered the window, took out his driver's license and was about to hand it to the police officer who came up to check.
I saw Yamamura walking over carelessly and said: "No need to check... If it is a male driver, you can let him go directly."
"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro was startled, stuck his head out of the window, and said hello over there: "Yamamura...why are you here?"
"Ah! Mr. Mori!" Yamamura Cao came over quickly, "What a coincidence!"
"Did any murder happen nearby?" Mouri Kogoro asked casually.
"No, we are arresting the witch."
Yamamura Soo said, looking at Mouri Kogoro's confused expression, he explained: "Oh, haven't you heard of it? It was a legendary female drag racer who wreaked havoc in Fuyuna Mountain about 4 years ago. "
