Chapter 134 Kidnapping?
He is actually from the organization?!

Conan was shocked, but at the same time he couldn't believe it, the fog in his mind was also dispelled a lot.

Thinking of what Huiyuan had said before about the organization's goal, he said solemnly, "Noah's Ark?"

"Well, there's no other reason!"

Huiyuan nodded, but still a little bit incredulous: "It caused such a big fuss... It's just an artificial intelligence, how could it be so important?!"

When she was still in the organization, although she heard the news that the organization’s focus had completely shifted, she didn’t expect the level of importance to be so exaggerated!
——Four armed helicopters appeared openly, shooting and killing indiscriminately, and sent nearly a hundred elite troops into the encirclement as abandoned pawns.

Many of these elites are code candidates in the organization!
Conan pursed his lips, his expression darkening even more: "If...the plague that broke out in Tokyo was also caused by them..."

When Huiyuan heard this hypothesis, his pupils suddenly shrank. He took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "That can only mean... the organization is determined to get this, and will do anything to get it!"

To know!
This action has completely overturned the organization's purpose of hiding in the dark! After this, the public security and police will not let them go, even if it is just for the sake of face.

What magic does Noah's Ark have that cost so much?

Conan realized that he had not paid enough attention to this artificial intelligence before!
He gritted his teeth and swore secretly: "The more the organization wants it, the more I can't let them get it!"

"Don't worry about that."

Huiyuan looked at the sparkling river surface and said, "The police are not fools. The fact that they arrived so promptly yesterday shows that they had anticipated the organization's actions."

"If that's the case, then the existence of Noah's Ark cannot be hidden from them."

She pointed to the salvage workers going up and down in the water and said: "Based on their current actions, this artificial intelligence should not have been captured by the organization, but sunk somewhere in the river."

"If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the police can get it. Even if the organization comes to seize it again, the police will have an advantage if they are well prepared."

That makes sense!

Conan agreed with this analysis, but when faced with something like this, how could he not get involved?

Conan suppressed his restless heart and thought seriously about whether he could find any entry point to give the organization a big blow!

Returning to his previous position, he tugged at Hattori, who was still staring at his phone, and asked on tiptoe, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"No, not at all."

Hattori stared at the victim and replied subconsciously: "From the photo, there is mushroom-like foam on the mouth and nose of the deceased, and the skin has changed into 'chicken skin', which are the characteristics of standard drowning, but this way of death combined with the environment is very normal."

"...It's a pity that the clarity is not enough, and many details are not clear."

He rubbed his head in annoyance. "Damn it! It would be great if I could see a real corpse! Looking at it this way is totally scratching the surface!"

Conan looked at Officer Yamashita who had been standing next to him: "Officer, what do you know about the incident last night? Please, anything is fine!"

“…Even if you say so…”

Yamashita said with a bitter face: "We police officers really don't know the specific circumstances. If we have to say anything, we only know the final result."

He paused and continued, "The terrorists who broke into Osaka Castle yesterday were all surrounded and killed by the police. Three helicopters perished along with the police when they escaped. The only one that broke through also crashed inexplicably on the way..."

……and many more!
Unexplained crash?

Conan paused. He paid great attention to this vague key point: "What about the cause of the crash? Didn't they find out?"

Yamashita shook his head: "The helicopter that crashed into the ground was completely destroyed. There is no useful clue at all."

Conan thought to himself that it was a pity, pursed his lips and said no more.

Things have come to this point, and it is difficult for them to do anything given their status.

"That's it, let's leave the rest to the police." Conan gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Hattori still stared at the photo without giving up.

hum~
The sudden vibration startled Hattori.

He handed the phone back to Yamashita: "Officer, this is your number."

Yamashita took it and put it to his ear.

After a moment, he hung up with a serious look on his face: "Excuse me, Brother Hattori. I have something to do and I have to leave first."

"What happened?"

While gathering several policemen, Yamashita took the time to reply: "It's a call from headquarters. There's a kidnapping case nearby. They asked me to go over and handle it."

Kidnapping case?
Hattori stood up and volunteered: "Then let me go with you, Officer Yamashita!"

"Eh?"

Yamashita was a little surprised: "Is it okay? Aren't you investigating what happened last night? Obviously this is more important."

"What are you talking about!"

Hattori rolled his eyes, turned his hat to an angle, and said seriously, "There is no distinction between important and unimportant matters when it comes to life!"

He said as he held down Conan's head: "Hey, what do you think, kid?"

Conan pushed his hand away unhappily. Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious from his expression that he thought the same thing!

Yamashita's expression was moved.

"Really? You guys actually taught me a lesson!"

He scratched his head, smiled and said, "Then let's get going quickly!"

After counting all the people and bringing their equipment, several people got into the police car.

There were not many vehicles on the road, and the blaring sirens made it easier for them to move smoothly.

Soon, they stopped in front of a villa.

This place is very big. Although it cannot be compared with Jiang Shou's house, it is also considered wealthy. The small lawn around the house is also beautifully trimmed.

A woman was waiting anxiously at the door at this time. When she saw them coming, she immediately came forward to greet them.

"Officer...Officer..."

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but seemed to be too anxious to form any words and looked at a loss.

"Mrs. Fujimori, right?" Yamashita stepped forward to comfort her: "Please calm down, don't be anxious, and talk slowly."

Conan and Hattori followed behind and looked at the woman.

Mrs. Fujimori looks to be in her early 30s. She is young and beautiful, but also has a mature charm. She has a very beautiful oval face. At a glance, she looks like a star you have seen on TV.

[Yes, this is the type that Uncle Maori would like. ]

Such a nonsensical thought suddenly popped up in Conan's mind. He was startled and quickly shook his head to get rid of it.

After a while, Mrs. Fujimori finally calmed down.

She forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Please come in and talk."

After entering the villa, several people sat on the sofa in the living room one by one.

Officer Yamashita got straight to the point: "Ms. Fujimori, did you report the kidnapping?"

"Yep!"

Mrs. Fujimori nodded repeatedly: "It's my son!"

She explained the whole incident from the beginning in rapid succession, and Conan also gained a rough understanding of this family.

The owner of the villa is named Yasushi Fujimori, the president of a company with a good income and a small fortune.

The person who reported the case was named Fujimori Ai, Mr. Fujimori's wife and a full-time housewife.

Today, Mr. Fujimori, who was on a business trip, was about to return home, so Mrs. Fujimori wanted to cook a meal to reward her husband.

However, when she came out of the house, she found that her little son, who was supposed to be playing on the lawn, was missing. After searching for him nowhere, the panicked Ms. Fujimori immediately called the police.

Hattori's eyelids twitched: "Mrs. Fujimori, are you making a big deal out of nothing?"

He suggested another possibility: "Maybe the child was too playful and ran outside to play, so we couldn't find him." "What do you mean?!"

Mrs. Fujimori was like a piece of gunpowder that had exploded. She glared at him angrily and asked loudly, "Do I have to find Ganta's body before I can call the police?"

[A mother who worries about her child's safety is really scary! 】

His stomach shrank and his neck contracted, he muttered to himself.

Officer Yamashita quickly tried to smooth things over: "Madam, you misunderstood. We will not leave it alone no matter what the situation is... I am asking this question only to rule out a possibility."

Mrs. Fujimori snorted.

Conan asked in a different way: "Could it be that Ganta was kidnapped while he was out playing?"

"impossible!"

Ms. Fujimori flatly denied: "Maruta is only three years old, can't even walk properly, doesn't know anyone around him, and would never leave home!"

Hattori asked, "Madam, how long has Ganta been out of your sight?"

Although she had no good feelings towards the young "policeman", Mrs. Fujimori immediately said, "No more than five minutes!"

She explained: "I was driving him to the supermarket to buy groceries and when we passed the sandpit, he suddenly started clamoring to play in it."

"Because it was still early for lunch, I thought I would just put the ingredients back in the kitchen and come back to accompany him. It wouldn't take too long, so I left him there alone...but I didn't expect..."

Seeing the woman with red eyes, Hattori felt a little sympathetic and asked, "Sand pit? What sand pit?"

Mrs. Fujimori wiped away her tears and said, "Maruta likes to play with sand, so my husband built a sand pit at home, right next to the lawn... He usually plays there."

Upon hearing this, Officer Yamashita immediately stood up and asked, "Can you take us to see it?"

"Of course!" Mrs. Fujimori quickly stood up and led the way.

The so-called sand pit she mentioned was on the lawn to the right of the house, a 3mX3m square.

The sand pile was filled with plastic shovels and buckets, as well as a semicircular sand creation, but it was impossible to tell what it was.

Hattori squatted down and pressed his hand, frowning at the clear palm prints in the sand pit: "Hey, Kudo, there are no footprints here."

Because it rained yesterday, the originally dry sand solidified into lumps of mud, which will definitely leave marks once touched!

Conan pointed to the traces of use on the outer edge of the sand pit: "If Ganta was sitting outside and playing on the edge, there would be no footprints."

"what!"

Hattori estimated the distance between the sand pit and the house: "Besides, if it's in the kitchen, even if the child screams, it's really hard to hear."

Officer Yamashita asked again, "Madam, isn't there any surveillance around the villa?"

"Originally there is."

Mrs. Fujimori pointed to the perimeter of the wall and said, "Because there are only three of us living here, and my husband doesn't like being served, we don't have any maids at home... For safety reasons, surveillance cameras are installed around the perimeter of the wall."

As she spoke, her expression suddenly turned grim: "But the surveillance cameras near the sand pit and the gate broke down a few days ago!"

broken?!

So just right? !
Officer Yamashita also obviously thought that this coincidence was very strange: "What was the reason for the monitoring failure? Didn't anyone come to repair it after it broke down?"

Mrs. Fujimori shook her head. "Surveillance failures are common, and I'm not interested in these things... I thought I'd wait until my husband comes back before bringing this up."

Her eyes turned redder, and she seemed to be filled with regret: "If I had known...if I had known I would..."

Everyone was speechless.

"Brother Hattori, what should we do now?" Yamashita came over and asked in a low voice.

"First send someone to ask around to see if anyone has seen any suspicious people nearby."

Hattori suggested this, and then he paused and said, "Wait a minute, is our police car still outside?"

Yamashita slapped his head and turned around quickly: "I'll drive it away right away!"

"No need, just leave it there!"

"But...if the kidnappers see us..."

"We need to make him see it." Hattori explained, "Many criminals like to return to the crime scene... Find another group of people to ambush nearby. If anyone's face changes drastically after seeing the police car, arrest him immediately!"

Yamashita was stunned and gave a thumbs up: "Good idea!"

Hattori didn't care about the compliment.

In fact, up to now, he still didn't fully believe that this was a kidnapping case. It was just that the person who called the police was sure, so he could only investigate further.

Conan stroked his chin and muttered, "If it's really a kidnapping... then now, we can only wait for the kidnapper's call."

Don’t think that receiving a ransom call from a kidnapper is a bad thing!
Japan has been a place with many perverts since ancient times. Many kidnappers kidnap people not for ransom, but to satisfy their own disgusting hobbies.

Therefore, receiving a ransom call is already the best case scenario for the family members!

Moreover, according to internal police statistics, 90% of kidnappings are solved during the ransom payment process.

After searching around the sand pit and sending out the dozen or so police officers they brought with them, the three of them took Mrs. Fujimori back to the living room again.

Yamashita went to the police car and took out a box.

After opening it, he quickly assembled a strange device on the table - it was specially used to play sounds and track signals.

Conan looked at it curiously.

He had not seen this thing many times. In the last case of Suzuki Shiro’s kidnapping, Suzuki Tomoko called the police only after receiving a call from Su Beixun.

And the call was only made that one time, rendering this thing completely useless.

Officer Yamashita connected Mrs. Fujimori's phone to the device and said, "Madam, if the kidnapper calls later, please try to delay the call time so that we can locate him!"

Mrs. Fujimori looked very nervous and nodded absentmindedly.

Time passes minute by minute.

Several people stared at the phones on the table and waited silently.

Click~

A voice instantly perked up everyone.

But they soon discovered that it was not the sound of a bell, but the sound of a door opening.

Several people turned their heads.

I saw a handsome young man in a suit standing at the door.

He was also in his early thirties, thin, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He didn't look like the pot-bellied president in the impression at all.

The man stood there, looking at them in silence.

Yamashita was quick-witted and quickly stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Fujimori? Please don't misunderstand me, we are just police officers. We are here because we received a report from your wife!"

The man was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Officer, you are too kind. I saw a police car outside my house when I came back. I just... didn't know what to say for a moment."

Shanxia breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little embarrassed for feeling guilty.

Hattori stared at this middle-aged single man with disdain, thinking that the things he watched in private must be indecent.

"husband."

Mrs. Fujimori stood up, lowered her head guiltily, and did not dare to look at him.

When Mr. Fujimori saw his wife like this, he showed a trace of heartache. He went forward to hug her and whispered, "Love, what's going on?"

Mrs. Fujimori told him the matter in a low voice.

Perhaps because he had done some psychological preparation after seeing the police car, Mr. Fujimori's face stiffened for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.
