278. The plan failed
Conan jumped off the taxi with a skateboard in his arms, holding a map in his hand, comparing the email sent to him by Kazukawa.
There was a big road in front of him, and there were several forks leading to different places on this road. If you search aimlessly, you would probably not be able to find someone if you find it dark.
The three routes listed in the email are clearly marked, one leads to Gunma Prefecture, one leads to Tottori Prefecture, and the other road passes through several intersections, with several buildings along the way, including abandoned factories, unfinished buildings, villas and other buildings.
The two first roads had too wide range, so he could not check, so he could only try his luck on the last road.
It was past 11 o'clock at noon, and the sun was enough for the skateboard to last for a long time. He jumped onto the skateboard with the map in his arms. The skateboard was like a small motorcycle, carrying him on the road.
"Twenty minutes are coming soon."
Sato looked at his watch and arrived at the designated time bit by bit, and the criminal called him on time.
"I heard the sound of the tram station. It seems that Mr. Butler still abides by the rules."
"I have reached the loop line as you ask. How can I give you the money?"
"No, no hurry, you can transfer to Shinkansen now, and I will call you again in ten minutes."
Before the butler could ask, the other party hung up the phone.
"How about it?"
The butler shook his head, "The other party is very cunning and doesn't talk about how to trade at all, he just wants us to transfer to the subway. He must be prepared for the worst."
"Damn it!" Kogoro Mouri beat his legs irritably. They were too passive and could only follow the criminal's instructions. There was no other way!
"Calm down, Mr. Maori, the purpose of the gangster is probably to disturb our emotions and make us lose our calmness. Don't fall into the trap of the other party."
The calmest person present was probably the housekeeper. He was the oldest, had experienced the most things and had the richest experience.
Xiaolan sat on the chair, holding her hands tightly. She looked out the window and kept praying for peace in the garden in her heart.
Shangchuan Shun sat in a dessert shop with a dessert on the table, but he sat for more than 40 minutes but didn't even move.
He held a map in his hand, and the red dots on his glasses kept moving. He listened to the movements in his headphones while comparing the route the red dots were walking.
As the criminals repeatedly asked to change lines by subway, the red dots were always in circles between cups and rice flowers.
And what comes from the headphones is always the whistling sound of the wind.
Coil out the routes through which the red dots pass, remove some meaningless things, and almost form a closed curve.
His gaze looked at a tall building in the curve. The tall building was a very famous building in Kurotocho. The whole building was a commercial building. On the high-rise of this building, there were several expensive Western restaurants.
Not only that, on the top floor of this tall building, you can see the routes through which all the red dots pass.
A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the surrounding buildings, looking for a location that could kill him with one blow.
...
As the stations were constantly changing, everyone began to feel a little anxious. Every time the gangsters called, they didn't say how to get the money. As long as they kept changing stations, they were like they were playing tricks.
Not only that, the police originally sent people to drive behind the tram, but as they kept changing stations, the people outside the tram could no longer keep up with them.
As the train gradually reached the middle section, the kidnappers' last call finally came.
"I guess you've become impatient. Don't worry, you don't have to change the station now. Now you open the window and throw the box with money out of the window."
"!"
"No, I have to confirm the safety of the second lady first, otherwise you won't be able to get the money!" The housekeeper directly retorted that this request was too unfavorable to them!
"Are you so determined? Since that's the case, then wait for your second lady's soul to go back to find you." The other party's voice smiled, but with a hint of coldness.
“!!!”
Damn it! The housekeeper clenched his fists tightly and had no choice but to take the guy opposite.
The other party seemed to be waiting for him to make a decision, and did not hang up the phone directly like he did the previous few times.
"Have you considered it?"
The housekeeper almost bit his teeth, "Okay!"
When he opened the window, he lifted the metal box containing money and threw it out the window in the eyes of everyone.
The metal box flew backwards and smashed on the ground and rolled down several times.
There was at least five minutes left before the next stop, and everyone could only watch 100 million yen being thrown out the window, without any help.
"Damn it!" Kogoro Mouri smashed the window frame. They had no way to deal with the criminals' methods.
It is obviously too late to get the police to come. The reason why the other party asked them to go around in circles was to make it impossible for the police to arrange it so that he could take away the money quietly.
Originally, they planned to wait until the gangsters got the money and declare their idea of directly arresting them.
"What should I do next?"
"I have contacted Officer Meguro, and my colleagues nearby will rush here immediately!"
"I hope I can catch up..."
An ordinary-dressed railway worker looked at the boxes between the rails and reached out to pick him up.
The box was a little deformed, but the lock on it was still locked intact.
He weighed it and the box was very heavy.
It should be what that person wants.
He walked out of the closed railway with the box and came to a hidden corner, and handed it over to a young man waiting by the side.
The young man handed him a stack of money, and he took it with a smile, pretending that he had picked up nothing.
After getting the box, the young man quickly left, came to a bag shop, bought a box that was several sizes larger than the box, and put it in it.
Immediately, he walked out of the store with the box as if nothing had happened.
And on this street, there were several people carrying boxes similar to him, who were heading in different directions and going to different places.
...
With solar skateboards there, Conan was not slow at all. The first thing he arrived was an abandoned factory. He went in and looked around. There was nothing except various waste materials in the factory.
He was not discouraged and put down his skateboard and continued to rush to the next location.
The second marked location is an unfinished building. It is hard to imagine that there will be a four or five-story unfinished building in such a remote place, as if it is only built with a prototype, with the wall tiles exposed. Through the windows, you can even see the stairs on the high-rise.
Conan did not go in rashly. He turned around for a while and found the car's wheel marks on the mud.
Following the traces of the wheels, he found Yuanzi's car in a hidden place.
"Finally found!"
He was shocked and looked at the building.
Chapter completed!
