Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 144 Acting
"Then tell me, Mr. Detective, what should we do next?"

Takeshi Sakurai asked.

"Mr. Sakurai, how did that Kudo find out about the lover you are assisting President Iwagi with?"

Gao Yuan asked back.

"Kudou installed a bug in Ayako's house, so..."

Sakurai Takeshi said with some embarrassment.

"I see."

Gao Yuan nodded, and then asked, "Are there any photos of Ayako and Kudo?"

"How could this happen?"

Takeshi Sakurai said.

"In this case, let's go to the Internet cafe first."

Gao Yuan suddenly suggested.

Everyone was puzzled by this, but they still found a nearby Internet cafe and rented an entire suite.Then, Takato began to use the computer in the Internet cafe to invade the network of the rented apartment of Yamazaki Shinichiro.

"Which one is your house? What is your online account?"

Gao Yuan asked Yamazaki, and after Yamazaki made a general explanation, Gao Yuan hacked into the computer of Yamazaki's house along the network, and then checked the monitoring inside the room connected to the computer.

"Amazing!"

Mizushima Kanae exclaimed.

"With such a hacker level, are you really a detective?"

Shinichiro Yamazaki asked after watching his computer hacked just for a while.

"Of course, I am a serious detective, the kind recognized by the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Gao Yuan said, and then adjusted the surveillance screen inside Yamazaki's house, so everyone saw the men who were looking back and forth at Yamazaki's house at the moment.

"These are Kudo's younger brothers."

Sakurai Takeshi pointed to the person on the screen, and said confirmingly.

"Which one is that Kudo?"

Gao Yuan asked, and by the way, called out the various monitoring screens one by one, and asked Takeshi Sakurai to confirm.

Then, in a picture, Sakurai Takeshi pointed to the back of a man with a cropped head who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "This, it should be Kudo."

"Really, if it wasn't for you, my home wouldn't have been discovered by Kudo and the others."

Shinichiro Yamazaki looked at the picture, his home was being searched back and forth by a group of outsiders, and he angrily scolded Takeshi Sakurai.

"If the secret room is discovered by them, I will be completely finished!"

"It's not you who want to finish. Now in their eyes, Mr. Sakurai is the killer 'Kondo'."

Gao Yuan pointed out by name.

"Hey! What do you mean!"

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Takeshi Sakurai said in a panic.

Ignoring Takeshi Sakurai, Gao Yuan began to move forward the timeline of the picture of Kudo facing the monitor with his back until he found a picture of Kudo facing the front.

This is a small man with his hair cut very short. Compared with the tall brother next to him, this man is actually the leader of the Jidao, which is really surprising.

After extracting the frontal images of all the extreme figures who appeared in Yamazaki's house, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said: "It's not an option to let them search, I'm afraid that your secret room will be discovered."

"That's right. That secret room must not be discovered, otherwise, the lives of all those who escaped in the past eight years will be in danger!"

Yamazaki was convinced.

"Since this is the case, now we have to find a way to lure people away."

Gao Yuan said, thinking about it, and then looked at Takeshi Sakurai beside him——

"Sakurai-san, I heard you are an actor, right?"

Gao Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a problem for you to act in a play, right?"

At the home of Shinichiro Yamazaki, a group of people searched for a long time but found no clues. One of them walked up to Kudo who was sitting on the sofa, and said involuntarily: "Mr. Kudo, none of them came back, and there are no clues here. What should I do?"

"Look for it."

Kudo said silently, "Kondo ran so fast, I don't believe there is nothing left here."

At this time, Kudo's cell phone rang.

"Hello...huh?"

Listening to the call from his subordinate on the other end of the phone, Kudo couldn't help wondering: "Now?"

"Yes! Presumably both Kondo and that woman are..."

On the other end of the phone, the men in charge of monitoring Ayako reported the report, and played the eavesdropped content to Kudo:
"Don't hurt my son! Ah—"

A woman screamed from the bug. Hearing this, Kudo immediately got up and told everyone, "Go to that woman immediately!"

So, everyone followed Kudo to leave Yamazaki's apartment and went to the residence of President Iwaki's lover, Ayako Inoue.

When he came here, Kudo rushed into the house with a few younger brothers——

Looking around, I saw a woman with disheveled hair lying in a pool of blood, with several bleeding marks on her abdomen, and the smell of blood in the room was heavy.

On the other side of the table, Sakurai Takeshi was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette with his head up, silently looking at the few people who came in, his face and body were covered with blood.

"It's time to come."

With an indifferent tone, he exhaled.

"I was just about to call you."

After a pause, Takeshi Sakurai leaned forward, looking at everyone mercilessly.

"Kudou-san. Finishing a job is like finishing a work of art."

The situation at the scene and the indifferent tone shocked all the people present.

"I have my own way of doing things. How to gain other people's trust, how to get her to reveal where the money is hidden... everything is going according to my plan. And, thanks to your idiots who came in and messed up everything gone."

Saying that, Takeshi Sakurai straightened up, shook the ash, and then directly extinguished the unburned cigarette in the ashtray, took out a red handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the blood on his hand.

"This action is not perfect!"

His tone suddenly changed from indifferent to angry, and he threw the handkerchief aside.

"I didn't want to touch the child, but I didn't have a choice."

Hearing this, Kudo silently looked towards the child's bedroom, only to see another figure across the bed, lying in a pool of blood, and then silently walked back to Sakurai Takeshi.

"I can only use the child to force her to tell me where the money is hidden. It's all your fault!"

Suddenly, when he said "It's all your fault", Takeshi Sakurai's words turned into a roar.

"Then... where is the money?"

After being stunned by the roar for a long time, Kudo finally recovered, and then seemed a little timid, but still asked.

"This is where the money is hidden."

Taking out a notebook from his pocket and putting it on the table, Sakurai Takeshi said, "President Iwaki exchanged the money for a gem and stored it in the vault of Mihua City Bank. This is the passage to enter the vault and The password is all written down above."

Somewhat trembling, Kudo took the notebook, opened it, and looked at the detailed route map and ways to avoid surveillance drawn on it, Kudo was a little in disbelief.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would have thought that the huge sum of money embezzled by the president of Yancheng is hidden in this bank. It's a good idea."

Sakurai Takeshi showed a sad look, and sighed, "Brother Kudo, my work is done."

"Then... this scene..."

Kudo asked, pointing to the two corpses in the room.

"You don't have to worry about it, after all, I'm Kondo."

Sakurai Takeshi said, "But killing one more person this time has caused me so much trouble, and the commission fee has to be doubled."

"This... definitely!"

After Kudo finished speaking, he immediately left here in a hurry with his subordinates, and then drove to Mihua City Bank.

Watching Kudo and the others leave, the two lying on the ground finally stood up—it was true that Ayako Inoue was herself, but the person Kudo thought was a child was actually Kanae Mizushima.

"Is that all right?"

Ayako Inoue asked tremblingly, "Also, Iwaki, really..."

"fake!"

Seeing Kudo and the others leave, Takeshi Sakurai began to tremble with fear all over his body.

"That map is a trap."

Mizushima Kanae said affirmatively, "As long as they go to open the bank vault now, the police can catch them all on the spot on the charge of bank theft!"
