Stay away from Conan

Chapter 287 The kidnapper’s methods

When Conan and others arrived at the door leading to the basement of Kaido Building, they found that Gao Yuan and Haibara Ai were already there, while Suzuki Sonoko and Noguchi Yuri had already been rescued.

"Garden!"

Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko was safe and sound, Xiaolan couldn't help but step forward and hugged Sonoko tightly.

"Xiaolan..."

When Yuanzi faced Xiaolan, she couldn't help but burst into tears and hugged Xiaolan.

"never mind."

Xiaolan patted Yuanzi's back gently like a mother comforting her child.

"Miss!"

Kamoshida couldn't help but said excitedly when he saw Noguchi Yuri on the side.

In this regard, everyone finally felt relieved when they saw the scene in front of them, and Conan walked to Gao Yuan curiously and asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Mingzhi, where have you been before? How did you find this place?"

Looking at the hostages who had been rescued at this moment and the policemen present, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"Okay, now that the hostages have been rescued, it's time to uncover the truth behind this seemingly kidnapping case."

Hearing this, everyone present looked surprised.

"Brother Mingzhi, are you telling the truth?"

Officer Megure asked.

"Yes. I have figured out the identity of the kidnapper and the method of disappearing the diamond."

As Gao Yuan spoke, he looked around at everyone present, and then finally fixed his gaze on Noguchi Yuri, revealing a smile.

"Really, you know how the kidnappers took those diamonds!"

When Kogoro heard what Gao Yuan said, he suddenly became very interested and asked.

"On this point, we might as well go to the road where Miss Miki once walked with the box."

Gao Yuan suggested.

"Huh? Why don't you go over and take a look?"

Officer Megure asked.

"Yes, in this way, you should be able to detect the tactics used by the kidnappers. Also, please call the patrol officer who had contact with Miss Miki at that time."

Gao Yuan nodded and said.

"Is that the patrolman who picked up the box?"

Officer Megure confirmed to Gao Yuan.

"Yes, that's him."

Gao Yuan said.

"I know. There is a police station near the place where the patrolman appeared at that time. It is probably certain that he works there."

Officer Megure nodded and thought.

"Hey! Boy! Wait a minute! Didn't you mean to figure out how the kidnapper took away the diamond floating in the air under our surveillance? What does this have to do with the path Miss Miki took? ?”

Kogoro asked in confusion.

In response, Gao Yuan smiled faintly:

"When everyone gets there, they will know that the kidnappers' plan to take away the diamonds has already been set up from there."

Looking at Gao Yuan's expression, Officer Memu nodded deeply. Xiaolan, Yuanzi and others also believed in Gao Yuan's words, while Conan suddenly felt enlightened after listening to Gao Yuan's prompt.

Only Kogoro complained angrily while lazily chasing after everyone, but halfway, Takagi Wataru disappeared.

…

"In order to prevent the kidnappers from noticing, we deliberately kept a distance from Miss Miki, about twenty or thirty meters, when we were following her."

Officer Megure said as he looked back at the driveway, thinking about it.

"Yes, the kidnappers took advantage of the blind spots within twenty or thirty meters."

Gao Yuan explained.

"A blind spot? Where do you mean there is a blind spot?"

Kogoro stood some distance away from everyone and asked loudly.

"It's around the corner of that building."

Gao Yuan pointed to a building about ten stories high in front of the road and said:

"When Miss Miki turned the corner of that building, you who were following from a distance could not see Miss Miki for a moment."

Gao Yuan said, suddenly quickened his pace and disappeared around the corner of the building.

"real!"

Seeing this, Xiaolan suddenly remembered the previous situation and said in surprise.

"However, I quickly stepped on the accelerator and chased after him. During this period, Miss Miki disappeared in front of me for only a few seconds... Moreover, where was Mr. Akechi at that time? Why did he know this? "

Miwako quickly chased after him, turned the corner, and immediately asked after seeing Takato.

"A few seconds is enough."

Gao Yuan showed a confident smile and said, "Because I was in front of you at the time and clearly saw the whole process."

With that said, Gao Yuan walked to the fire hydrant hanging on the wall of the building and pressed hard on the side of the four-corner box containing the fire hydrant.

Following Gao Yuan's movements, there was only a "click" sound, and some kind of device jumped out from the inside of the box——

"You see. The kidnapper put the box in from the left, then pushed the fake box that had been inside from the right, and the box automatically bounced to the ground. With the help of Miss Miki's acting skills of falling, the box was completed. replacement settings."

"this……"

Looking at this scene, Officer Memu was speechless in surprise——

"Wait a minute! What you just talked about was Miss Miki's acting skills..."

Kogoro looked at Takato's movements in surprise and said in surprise.

"That's right. The kidnapper I'm talking about is Ms. Miki herself!"

Gao Yuan said, taking out a heavy aluminum alloy box from the mechanism on the right side of the fire hydrant, which was exactly the same as the box Miss Miki was holding before.

"Mr. Kamoshida, I think this building is also the property of the Noguchi family."

Gao Yuan handed the box to Officer Megure and said.

"Yes... this building is also owned by the Noguchi Group."

Kamoshida said solemnly.

"I see, because it is the property of the Noguchi family, Miss Miki can process it freely..."

Officer Megure said in agreement.

"So, in this case of kidnapping, Miss Miki actually kidnapped her sister and Miss Sonoko."

Miwako thought about it and said:

"She had planned everything long ago. She wanted to monopolize the diamond worth one billion yen. She used this mechanism to replace the box containing the diamond with an empty box during the transportation of the diamond, thereby deceiving the police and letting It was thought that the kidnappers took the diamond without anyone noticing.”

"I think it's not just that simple, because if someone touches the box after replacing it, they will notice that the weight of the box is wrong."

Conan prompted in an innocent tone at this time.

"About this, you might as well ask the patrolman first."

As Gao Yuan was talking, the patrol officer had already arrived here on his bicycle, walked towards Officer Memu, and saluted:

"Police department, I heard that you have something to ask me?"

"Yes, if what you said is true, then the box that the patrolman got at that time should be a very light and empty box."

Kogoro said.

In this regard, Officer Megure asked the patrol officer:

"I have something to confirm with you first. A lady fell down here before. When you helped her pick up an aluminum alloy box that was exactly the same as this box, what was the weight of the box? Or should I say? It looks like a very light empty box?”

"Not an empty box."

The patrol officer replied seriously, "It weighs about a few kilograms, and it should be full of things."

Hearing this, Kogoro raised his eyes, looked at Gao Yuan and said:

"Look, it's not an empty box. Your reasoning isn't correct."

"Well, uncle patrolman, when you handed the box to the sister, did you feel that the box was cold?"

At this time, Conan stepped forward and asked with innocent eyes.
