Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 228 Not enough anesthesia needles?

"So, this is the hall's house."

Looking at Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori who were dressed as TV service personnel, Yuji sat in the car and held his forehead.

"Someone in the family was kidnapped and they still bought a TV. Is there something wrong with this family's brain? Officer Megure and the others are completely brainless!"

It's rare that uncle is so sober...

After opening the car door and walking out, Conan hid behind the wall and looked at the police duo who rang the doorbell.

"Well, Mihua TV Company, we are here to deliver TVs."

The doorbell rang, and there was a burst of surprise inside, and then it turned silent after hearing Officer Megure's words.

"Well... we didn't order a TV."

After glancing at his superior, Officer Shiratori flipped the paper in his hand, pretended to confirm the address, and then pressed the button again.

"I think we are right. Can you please come out and confirm the order?"

The door opened from the inside, and a woman in her 30s peeked through the crack and shook her head after noticing Officer Shiratori.

"We did not order a TV."

After handing in the order with the police ID card, the two of them waited outside for a while holding an empty TV box before being invited in by the woman.

"Domoto! I'm coming!" Yuji led Conan out of the car, smiling happily with the box in his hand.

"Really, we haven't seen each other for a long time after graduating from college!"

After lightly kicking Conan, Yuji let go and watched the elementary school student pounce on him.

"This is my son, Conan!"

"Hello, I'm Conan!"

Before the woman realized what was happening, Yuuji walked directly into the house and placed the box in his hand on the ground.

After closing the door, Officer Megure asked in a low voice: "There is a kidnapping case here, right?"

Returning the police officer's card in her hand to Officer Shiratori, Mrs. Domoto nodded, and her eyes suddenly stopped on the box.

"this is!"

Seeing her squatting on the ground and opening the lock, and the money in the box scattered on the floor, Yuji showed Hirano Meng's photo to Mrs. Domoto.

"This man was in a car accident and the box happened to be seen by the police."

There was a noise from the stairs, and several people became vigilant, and they didn't relax a lot until Mrs. Tang Ben called her husband.

"This is the money I went to raise to redeem my father-in-law, why did I send it back!" Mr. Tang Ben also squatted on the ground, took out the medicine box from the pile of money, and looked at the medicine in good condition, very panicked.

"Even the medicine was sent back together?! It's almost six hours!"

Signaling Shiratori to appease the family members, Police Officer Megure walked to Yuji's side and whispered.

"Brother Maori, please reason quickly, that hostage may not be able to hold on any longer!"

Nodding his head, Yuji bypassed Police Officer Megure and walked in front of Domoto and his wife, and began to collect clues as usual.

"Did the kidnapper call?"

"Yes, my husband answered the phone and said that the kidnappers wanted 3000 million yen and put it in the grass under the second tree in Mihua Park."

Mrs. Domoto glanced at her husband and put her hand on the box containing the money.

"My father ran a metalworking factory, which my husband and I now work in after we got married."

This man is married, so there is something to talk about...

"Your father left the house at nine o'clock this morning, right?" Seeing Mrs. Domoto nodding, Yuji planned to use Uncle Mori's method to try it out first.

"Officer Megure, I already know who the kidnapper is!"

Standing up abruptly, under the shocked eyes of the police and Conan, Yuji pointed at Mr. Domoto and shouted loudly: "Akisei Domoto, you are the one who kidnapped President Domoto!"

"Brother Maori! What are you talking about!"

With a sneer, Yuji hugged his chest, closed his eyes confidently and began to reason.

"I think you must have directly kidnapped President Domoto in order to compete with Mrs. Domoto's brother for the inheritance of the metal processing plant.

You don't actually want the 3000 million yen, but you want to take this opportunity to make your father-in-law die from not injecting medicine in time! "

"What kind of joke are you talking about!" Domoto Akimaru immediately refuted Yuji's statement, and then turned his head away from looking at the few people.

"that…"

Mrs. Domoto looked at Yuji doubtfully, and looked at her husband: "Actually, I am an only child."

The scene became quiet for a while. He whistled and retreated behind Officer Megure. Yuji turned his back to everyone and began to reason.

It was unmistakable. When he identified Domoto Akunari, there was something obviously wrong with this man's expression.He deliberately put competition with his brothers first. If he was wronged, he would have interrupted his rebuttal when Yuji opened his mouth.

"Excuse me, how many times did the kidnapper make phone calls?"

"Both times, Qiucheng answered the phone."

Looking at the landline phone in the living room, Mrs. Domoto immediately spoke out.

"Officer Shiratori, my uncle asked me to ask you if you could go find out what the relationship between Mr. Akunari and President Domoto is like."

In the corner, Conan, who was dragging Officer Shiratori and whispering, also realized that something was wrong with Domoto Akisei just now.

Detective Mori hasn't ended his suspicion on Mr. Domoto yet?

After glancing at Kogoro Mouri who was facing the wall, Officer Shiratori immediately sent a text message on his mobile phone, and received a reply in less than 3 minutes.

[Their relationship is very bad. 】

Looking at the message on the mobile phone, Conan smiled confidently. He took out his mobile phone and picked out the map, connecting Mihua Park and Maori Detective Agency in a straight line, and looked to the right along the road.

"There is also a Domoto metal factory here." Yuji moved closer to Conan's face, and saw that there was also a Domoto metal factory eight kilometers away from [-]-chome, and then looked at Mrs. Domoto who was crying over there.

"I remember that your father's metal factory should not be there."

Dazed for a moment, Mrs. Domoto seemed to remember something: "That is our old factory, and the new factory was built the year before last."

Pointing to the photo on the table, Yuji, who had not yet stood up, suddenly heard a popping sound, and then felt a slight touch on the mask around his neck.

He put his hand behind his back and pretended to be sleepy after touching a needle. He stood up and turned around twice before falling to the ground, right next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The anesthesia needles are all used up, so I can only play with my brother, although I don't need to move...

"Brother Maori, do you know what's going on this time?"

Officer Megure looked at Kogoro Mori who was sitting on the ground with his head bowed, and excitedly tried to get closer, but was pushed away by Conan.

"Officer Megure, my reasoning just now is indeed a bit of a joke, but I think the kidnapper is indeed Mr. Domoto."

Holding the bowknot voice changer in his hand, Conan turned his back to everyone, and said grandly: "I just asked Conan to ask Officer Shiratori, and he also told me the fact that the president and son-in-law are at odds."

After a pause, Conan put the phone on the table and ran back to the corner.

"I think President Domoto is being locked up in the old factory, so let's put aside the reasoning first. Police officer Megure, for the safety of the old president, you should take someone to have a look."

After watching everyone leave Domoto's house, Conan walked to Mouri Kogoro, manually pulled out the anesthesia needle from his neck and put it in front of his eyes.

It's strange, it feels like Uncle paused just now, is the dose of anesthesia needle not enough?

After poking his hand with a needle, Conan immediately became dizzy and fell to the ground.

Just kidding...

　The theatrical version of the plot is about to start.
