Stay away from Conan

Chapter 291 The Suzuki family’s reception

"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."

"Comprehensive evaluation of case closure: B"

"Logic: A"

"Observation: A"

"Knowledge: B"

"The settlement is completed, the overall score reaches B, and the reward is 30."

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Bounty: 1400"

Although he didn't quite understand why the panel settlement had appeared at this moment, Gao Yuan further investigated the Noguchi Building.

With the cooperation of Conan, the two finally found a way for Noguchi Miki to leave the Noguchi Building in the bathroom on the third floor of the Noguchi Building.

This is a road that can be climbed out of the window and passed through some steps outside the wall, directly to a remote alley behind the Noguchi Building. On these steps, the police also found traces of someone stepping on it.

But now, the police have lost the possibility of tracking Noguchi Miki. Where Noguchi Miki went has become an unsolved case.

However, at least through Noguchi Yuri's confession, it is a definite fact that the Noguchi sisters conspired to kidnap Suzuki Sonoko. With the rescue of Suzuki Sonoko, this incident can be considered an end.

Because Suzuki Sonoko was rescued safely, Gao Yuan, Haibara Ai, Conan, Xiaolan, and Kogoro were invited to Suzuki's house that night.

The five people were entertained because Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki, and mother, Tomoko Suzuki, were thanked for bringing Sonoko back unscathed no matter what.

After thanking Suzuki Shirou countless times, Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko said they wanted to visit Officer Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department, and drove away from home.

"I ate too much and my stomach hurts!"

Enjoy your meal, Conan said, holding his belly.

"Dad, really, why did you accept the gift from Sonoko's father? The only one who can solve the problem is Mr. Akechi."

Xiaolan said helplessly, looking at Kogoro who was sitting next to him, drinking the expensive red wine like water.

"What did you say? Hiccup..."

Kogoro paused for a moment while drinking, "You must accept everything you can get. This is the family tradition of the Mori family. Hiccup... Moreover, if I don't accept the commission fee, what will happen to you and this brat's living expenses?" Do it!”

After saying that, Kogoro took a swig of red wine again.

"It's really, really embarrassing."

Xiaolan looked at Kogoro's movements angrily, and then looked at Gao Yuan aside:

"By the way, when did Mr. Akechi realize that this incident was not a simple kidnapping?"

"It starts with the kidnappers asking for diamonds to pay the ransom."

Hearing Xiaolan's question, Gao Yuan answered loudly.

"Hey? Why?"

Xiaolan said puzzledly.

"Because the kidnappers were so well prepared, even the boxes for placing the diamonds were specially prepared."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but said, "The size and fineness of diamonds have a huge impact on the value, but the box prepared by the kidnappers can just hold high-quality diamonds worth one billion yen, which means that the kidnappers are very convinced that Noguchi We can provide diamonds of corresponding value, and they are all high-quality diamonds.”

"So this is ah."

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh:

"If Mr. Akechi hadn't noticed it in advance and taken action, maybe their sisters' plan would have succeeded!"

"No, even if Mr. Mingzhi didn't notice it in advance, there is still a huge flaw in their plan!"

Conan couldn't help but say at this time.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Xiaolan wondered, "Where is the flaw?"

"It's the basement where Sister Sonoko and the others are locked up."

Conan explained.

"Huh? In the basement?"

As the person involved, Sonoko looked at Conan in surprise, feeling a little unbelievable at what this child said.

"Yes. Because in that room, there are no food, water or heating facilities that should be prepared for the hostages!"

Conan explained naturally.

"It's not a hotel, so of course it won't have these things?"

Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

"No."

Gao Yuan followed Conan's logic and answered:

"The hostage is the only way to get a large amount of money, and it is worth one billion yen. It is too strange that such an important hostage is not given water or food."

"Yes."

After listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Xiaolan somewhat understood what Conan meant:

"If anything happens to the hostages, the entire transaction will have to be stopped."

"yes."

Conan seemed to have completely forgotten his position and continued to talk to himself:

"Since these things were not prepared, it means that the prisoner was sure that the entire negotiation would go very smoothly."

"I see. Anyway, the whole incident was planned by Miss Lee and Miss Miki, so naturally they didn't think of preparing these things."

Xiaolan said.

"Yes, that's probably it."

Gao Yuan grabbed the topic and continued:

"So even if I didn't notice the problem in advance, when I found Ms. Sonoko and the others in the basement, that scene would reveal that there was a problem with the entire kidnapping."

After hearing what Gao Yuan said, Xiaolan finally didn't feel strange that Conan had brought up the topic. Instead, when she thought of the relationship between the two Noguchi sisters, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely and said:

"If I also had sisters, would our relationship become so bad?"

"That's definitely not the case."

Kogoro, who was already drunk, still spoke up when he heard Xiaolan say this.

"Why?"

Xiaolan asked.

"Because our family doesn't have a huge inheritance that can cause siblings to quarrel, so you don't have to worry about it."

Kogoro was drunk and continued to drink red wine.

"Ah, that's right."

Hearing this answer, Xiaolan couldn't help but smile and said, Conan and Sonoko also laughed together because of this topic.

In this regard, Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting next to Gao Yuan and silently eating delicious food, looked a little lonely - sisters who turned against each other...

Thinking like this, Miyano Akemi's voice and appearance appeared in Haibara Ai's mind, and at the same time, he recalled the scene when his gentle sister met him for the last time——

It was at that time that Miyano Akemi told herself about a very strange child at the Mori Detective Agency. At the same time, she also learned that her sister had accepted a mission from the organization and was preparing to leave the organization. At that time, her sister did it to reassure herself. Just pretend to be calm...it's a pity that I can't stop her——

"By the way, sister, are you okay? I heard that things have gotten a little rough..."

"Don't worry, everything is going well. In contrast, I am more worried about you! Shiho, stop taking medicine and get a boyfriend! Sister, I'm fine!"

It's fine……

It's fine……

But then, I saw the news about "One Billion Yen Robber Suicide" in the newspaper...

Thinking of this, Hui Yuan Ai felt a little heavy.

…

On the way back, because there were two children, the five of them could barely squeeze into Takayuan's "MINI" car. Takayuan drove the drunk Kogoro Mori back to the Mori Detective Agency. After that, they Gao Yuan and Haiyuan Ai were left, and they returned together.

"By the way, Haiyuan, is there anything else you want to buy? I just happened to have a lot of income today!"

Because he received a gift from Suzuki Sonoko's father today, Gao Yuan finally had a lot of income. So, Gao Yuan looked at the large shopping malls open on the street and asked aloud.

"Then...go buy some books."

Haiyuan Ai, who was thinking a lot, replied in a calm tone:

"I don't like any of the books on your shelf."
