Chapter 1110: What are you playing with for one million?
Conan sensed the crime and jumped up from his seat, asking Masashi Emoto, "Then that person must have known that there was only one child at Miss Emoto Aya's house tonight, right?"
"That's... not wrong..."
Masashi Emoto looked at the elementary school student who suddenly jumped up and was a little confused.
Sato Miwako took over the conversation and shouted, "Cai, just in case, call home and check!"
Emoto Aya hesitated and said, "I have already called... but I couldn't get through, so I was worried about the child..."
"Then go home quickly and have a look!"
"Chiba!"
"Dad!"
Sato Miwako stood up and wanted to call Chiba, and Xiaolan also wanted to call her father.
Then, when he turned around, he saw a group of drunkards holding wine glasses.
Yumi Miyamoto was sleeping soundly on the table, Chiba was holding a bottle of wine with a red face, and Kogoro Mori had one hand on the back of the chair and the other holding a wine glass, with his tie tied on his head.
"let's go."
Fujino stood up quietly, picked up the suit hanging on the backrest, and put it on: "But if any of you have been drinking, you can't drive. Fortunately, I haven't drunk, so I will drive. But with so many people and those drunks, I don't think a car can accommodate them all."
"Sato, since you haven't drunk alcohol, I'll drive one car and you can drive the other."
Looking at the drunk Jiumengzi, Sato Miwako could only nod in agreement helplessly.
We can't just leave Chiba and Yumi here.
It would be bad if their bodies were picked up by someone.
…………
Bring a few drunkards out of the western restaurant.
Sato Miwako was holding Miyamoto Yumi, and suddenly she thought of something, and couldn't help but ask Fujino: "So you didn't let me drink because you had anticipated this situation?"
"How could I have thought of such a thing?"
Fujino glanced at her speechlessly: "Just tell me whether the trick I taught you is useful or not?"
Sato Miwako thought about Fujino's style and showed a suspicious look: "It is useful, but I doubt that this is within your expectations. This is all your plan."
"So, you doubt that I can predict the future?"
"If I could predict the future, I would just buy a lottery ticket!"
"Stop talking about this nonsense. Let's drive over there quickly. If the child is really kidnapped, we're screwed."
Fujino complained speechlessly, then got into the car and drove away.
Sato frowned, feeling like something was wrong, but also feeling like it was right.
Is it really just a coincidence?
…………
The Emoto family's residence is an apartment.
When I opened the door of the apartment, the lock was not broken.
The Emoto siblings entered the room first, and then a scream was heard from inside the room.
"what--!"
"Officer...Officer!"
"This way, this way!"
“Come and take a look!”
Everyone followed the voices of the Emoto siblings and went to Emoto Masashi's bedroom, and then saw the following message on the bedroom computer:
Your cousin is in my hands, hurry up and prepare one million yen, I will contact you later. If you dare to call the police, I will kill him!
Obviously, this was a kidnapping.
Kidnapping children in exchange for ransom or something.
That's the amount of money demanded by the kidnappers...
A bit too outrageous?
Fujino looked at the words left on the computer and was speechless. He felt that this kidnapper was really a talent and it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't go to Florida.
According to Japanese criminal law, trafficking in minors is punishable by imprisonment of not less than three months but not more than seven years, while kidnapping for money is punishable by imprisonment of not less than one year but not more than ten years.
It’s only one million. Even if you work in a supermarket, you can earn that much in a year or two.
Is it necessary to kidnap a child?
If I didn’t know, I would have thought it was one hundred million!
So you want one million yen?
Why are you risking your life for one million yen?
——In Japan, ordinary human traffickers will not be sentenced to death. The main reason why Fujino fought hard was that he thought that this guy would be kicked to death by Sato Miwako.
Sato: “?”
Wasn't he beaten to death by you?
…………
You can’t call the police, otherwise they will kill you.
Well, I didn’t call the police, but they just followed me.
That's fine.
Gao Mu looked at the text on the computer, glanced at Emoto Aya beside him, thought for a moment, and then took out his mobile phone: "Anyway, I'd better contact the headquarters and ask for support first..."
"no!"
Miwako Sato directly rejected Takagi's idea, and then explained: "This guy kidnapped the child when he entered the house, so he must have gained the child's trust. In this case, he might be watching nearby..."
"It said that if we called the police, we would kill him. But he hasn't called us yet. He must not have known that we were the police. He just thought we were friends at the social gathering."
"If a group of policemen come rushing over, won't we be exposed?"
Miwako Sato said in a deep voice: "What's more, we haven't confirmed whether there are any bugs left in the room. If our conversation is heard, it will be troublesome."
"Forehead……"
At this time, Fujino withdrew his gaze from the computer screen and reminded weakly: "Is it possible that you worry too much?"
"Ok?"
"If there really is a bug in this house, your conversation would have been overheard by the other party a long time ago. What headquarters, what police..."
Fujino said, showing his dead eyes and complaining: "The other party is not a fool, how could he not hear that you two are police officers?"
Then, Fujino looked around and continued to complain: "What's more, the amount of the kidnapping is only one million yen. The cheapest bug on the market now costs hundreds of thousands of yen. If he installs two bugs, I guess he won't even be able to get his money back."
"He doesn't make any money, so why does he leave the ransom? Is it for the fun of kidnappers?"
"But don't say it, there is really such a possibility."
"Ah this..."
Miwako Sato scratched her head and found that it seemed to be true?
But kidnapping other people's children is just for fun or something...
Fujino's train of thought is really a bit too open...
Realizing that she had made a fool of herself, she hesitated for a moment, thinking that she couldn't make such a fool of herself.
He then looked at Takagi, crossed his arms and said seriously, "Yes, Fujino is right, I actually thought of that, but Takagi you are too unprofessional, you mentioned the headquarters directly, what if this is another kidnapping case, and there is a bug in the room, we must have been exposed!"
"Ahem. Anyway, I'm going to contact the headquarters first. You and Fujino stay here to inquire about the case."
Takagi: "..."
So why am I always the one who gets hurt?
And why do I always have to take the blame?
Conan followed quietly with Xiaolan, watching Fujino's reasoning and felt that Fujino's reasoning was correct.
He thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, then he started to speak: "Oh, this is very strange, since the door is not locked, then it means that Hao Tai opened the door himself, right?"
"I remember Sister Cai mentioned earlier that Hao Tai seemed to have seen the kidnapper once. Maybe he is the friend of Brother Jiang Shi!"
"I think as long as I tell Brother Fujino the details of what happened, he will definitely be able to find the murderer!"
Without Kogoro Mouri present, Conan feels that the most suitable Stand user at the moment is Fujino.
Although he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
But let’s look at the matter objectively, let’s rescue the child first.
Hearing this, the Emoto siblings thought of Fujino's identity as a detective, and immediately began to recall:
"Sister, that happened on Saturday two weeks ago, right?"
Aya Emoto nodded: "Yes, it was March 26th. That day, Kota said he wanted to go out and play, but he didn't come back until eight o'clock in the evening."
Gao Mu took over the conversation: "Eight o'clock, is that so late?"
"Yeah, I wanted to ask him..."
Aya Emoto recalled with a guilty look on her face: "But he said with a guilty look on his face that he would never do this again and that he should not tell my parents, okay... I did not expect that he would meet that dangerous person, so I did not have the heart to scold him."
Hearing this, Gao Mu walked forward and comforted her: "It's not your fault, Miss Cai. No one would have thought that something like this would happen. It's just that you are too gentle."
"That's why he was kidnapped..."
As Emoto Aya thought about it, she felt like she was about to shed tears of grievance: "If I had been ruthless and taught him a lesson at the time, this wouldn't have happened. How can I explain this to his parents..."
Gao Mu suddenly felt a sense of justice in his heart: "Don't worry, Miss Cai, I will definitely help you find Kota!"
Fujino: "..."
I'm kind of a light bulb now.
Takagi was talking to Aya Emoto here. After Sato called for support, he returned to the room and saw this scene. He immediately touched his chin and looked at the two of them with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Then he approached Fujino and whispered, "Hey, look at that boy Takagi, did he make eye contact with Sai?"
"Um……"
Fujino groaned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Takagi would get along so well with this stranger. He then whispered, "I'm not sure."
"What are you not sure about?"
Sato Miwako showed dead fish eyes and complained: "Look at the two of them, they are so affectionate, I guess they are just one step away from success..."
"Hey, do you think we should give him some time alone?"
"If you think about it carefully, he and Cai are really a good match. They are both quite introverted, and both of them are already quite old and still don't have a boyfriend..."
Fujino rolled his eyes: "Why, do you still want to be a red thread fairy and tie a red thread for them?"
Sato Miwako put her hands on her hips and said, "What? It's not possible?"
"Okay, okay..."
…………
After a simple confirmation of the intelligence, the suspect was narrowed down to Masashi Emoto's friend.
There were a total of three friends who were invited by Masashi Emoto but did not come today.
One of them was named Rokuda Takuer, who was his childhood playmate, another was a high school junior named Hikiya Monshige, and the last one was a regular at the gym where he worked, named Satsuka Ryokane.
The classic three-choice session.
Miwako Sato immediately began to think: "If you think about it this way, this matter is really a bit strange. With such a careful deployment, if someone wanted to steal something from this house, they probably wouldn't fail. If they wanted to kidnap Kota, they would probably succeed on the same day. The kidnapping in the end was also too strange. It only cost one million yen..."
She couldn't help but complain: "It's just like what Fujino said, like a prank for fun."
"But if this is a joke, this situation is really terrible."
Gao Mu took over the conversation, thought for a moment, and then asked Jiang Bencai: "Miss Cai, is there really nothing valuable missing from your house, or is there something valuable in the postcard?"
"Really do not have."
Emoto Aya shook her head slightly. "I always carry my passbooks and credit cards with me. I don't have any cash at home. As for the postcards, there are only some lottery postcards that didn't win the prize, and nothing else."
"A raffle postcard?"
Conan was surprised at this time and asked: "Is it possible that the criminal came here for the winning postcard?"
"That's unlikely."
Masashi Emoto walked aside and picked up a few postcards from the table. "These three are the postcards that the three people sent to me. They are placed on the table fine. My sister checked and found that none of them won the prize."
Gao Mu was stunned for a moment: "You have exchanged them all?"
"Um……"
Jiang Bencai said awkwardly: "If the postcard sent to our house wins a prize, I will take it to redeem the prize. If it wins, I will directly deposit it into the passbook..."
Masashi Emoto on the side couldn't help but complain: "My sister is like this, she likes this kind of lottery thing the most."
"It's better than being a card collector like you."
"I want you to take care of it?"
Fujino looked at the bickering siblings in silence and couldn't help but remind them, "Shouldn't we focus on finding Kota and investigating those people who didn't go to the social gathering today?"
"By the way, Haota hasn't been found yet!"
Jiang Benjiang looked at Jiang Bencai speechlessly: "So, sister, please don't interrupt me, okay..."
"My friends all live nearby, and I can walk to their homes. If I think about it, they should all be at home now."
"It seems that this is the only way now."
Sato Miwako nodded. As the police officer with the highest rank on the scene, she immediately put herself into the role of a female leader: "In short, Conan and Xiaolan, you and I and Fujino should pretend to be friends of Mr. Emoto who is passing by on his way back from the social gathering. If we find any suspicious persons, we can arrest them directly..."
Gao Mu couldn't help but ask at this time: "What about me?"
"Just wait here for the prisoner to contact you."
Miwako Sato glanced at him and said, "Besides, Miss Cai needs to leave someone here to protect her. It will be troublesome if the criminals come back again."
"Then we should also keep Consultant Fujino, right?"
Gao Mu was a little confused when he heard this: "After all, the consultant's skills are much better than mine. What's more, the consultant is a famous detective. It will be troublesome if he is recognized."
"Oh, you really reminded me."
Miwako Sato limped and suddenly realized: "Fujino, you have to disguise yourself before you go. I remember that your disguise skills are quite good. It would be bad if you go there without disguising yourself and get recognized as a detective..."
Takagi: "..."
Why do I feel like I'm being excluded?
