Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 572: Come to cheat! Come to attack! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Seeing this scene, Maori Kogoro, who was hiding outside the abandoned factory, was instantly tense. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force, and his muscles were ready to go, like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey, ready to rush into the warehouse and fight a desperate battle with the kidnappers.

Beside him, Ran Mouri bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, her lips slightly white. She stared at the closed door of the warehouse without blinking, her eyes full of worry and anxiety. She prayed silently over and over in her heart, hoping that Conan could successfully create chaos so that they could successfully rescue Takei Naoko.

Conan was acutely aware that the kidnapper was approaching him step by step, and his heart suddenly shrank, as if being grasped by an invisible hand. He quickly held his breath, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.

He knew very well that he had to drop the wooden box on the crane before the kidnappers arrived in order to create greater chaos, while at the same time ensuring that he would not be discovered by the kidnappers.

Thinking of this, his hands carefully groped at his sides, trying to find anything that could be used as a weapon or to interfere with the kidnappers' actions.

Just as the kidnapper was about to approach the crane, Conan's fingertips touched a fist-sized stone. He quickly grasped the stone tightly, but his nervousness made his palms sweat and the stone slipped in his hands.

He gritted his teeth, ready to go all out. Once the kidnappers discovered him, he would throw stones at them, buying himself time to escape and creating an opportunity for Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri to act.

As the kidnapper's footsteps got closer, the sound was like a dull war drum, hitting Conan's heart again and again, making him dare not breathe.

At this extremely critical moment, Conan suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he changed his mind. Instead of hitting the kidnapper directly with the stone, he used all his strength to throw the stone in the other direction of the warehouse.

With a loud "clang", the stone hit the metal object in the distance accurately, making a crisp and loud sound.

The kidnapper was attracted by the sudden sound and instantly became alert. He immediately turned around and walked towards the direction of the sound, muttering: "Who's there?"

Conan took advantage of this excellent opportunity and used all his strength to pull the chain again.

Finally, after his unremitting efforts, the crane made a "creaking" sound again.

The next moment, accompanied by a deafening "crash" sound, the wooden boxes on the crane device fell like raindrops in a rainstorm, hitting the ground with a deafening sound. The warehouse was instantly filled with dust and chaos.

"what happened?"

The kidnappers were frightened by this sudden change and stopped unconsciously, with fear and confusion on their faces.

"Xiaolan..."

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro knew that Conan had successfully attracted the attention of the kidnappers. He immediately and decisively winked at Maori Ran who was standing beside him, then lowered his voice but said with unquestionable firmness: "Now! Action!"

"Uh-huh!"

Ran Mouri nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and then she pushed open the dilapidated door of the warehouse without hesitation. The door panel made a harsh "creaking" sound due to excessive force, and then she rushed towards where Takei Naoko was like an agile cheetah.

Her eyes were firm and resolute, and her fair cheeks were slightly flushed with nervousness and determination.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to rescue her classmate Takei Naoko.

Since Conan successfully attracted the attention of the kidnappers, Mouri Ran quickly ran to Takei Naoko without much effort.

After arriving at Takei Naoko's side, Mao Lilan deftly untied the ropes that bound Takei Naoko's body. Then, she gently took out the cloth stuffed in Takei Naoko's mouth and said gently: "Naoko, don't be afraid, I will take you out right away!"

Ran Mouri's voice was gentle but powerful, like a spring breeze, soothing Takei Naoko's frightened heart.

Naoko Takei's eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes. Her throat seemed to be choked by something and she was choking and unable to speak. She could only nod desperately and hold Mouri Ran's hand tightly, as if that was her only life-saving straw in the world.

After rescuing Takei Naoko, Mao Lilan immediately took her and turned to run towards the passage.

While running, Mao Lilan did not forget to vigilantly observe her surroundings in case of any unexpected situations.

Because Takei Naoko had been tied up for a long time, her legs were soft and weak, and she almost put all her weight on Mouri Ran. Her steps were staggering, but she gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort of her body, and tried hard to keep up with Mouri Ran's pace.

While Maori Ran was taking action, Maori Kogoro was not idle either. He took the opportunity to quietly enter the warehouse from the side.

With his back bent, Kogoro Mori walked into the warehouse with light but steady steps, staring at the backs of the two kidnappers, as if he could see through them.

The two kidnappers were concentrating on groping towards the side of the warehouse, not realizing the danger behind them. Maori Kogoro clenched his fists, his joints turned white due to the force, and the muscles in his arms were tense, ready to strike.

When he was only a few steps away from the kidnappers, Maori Kogoro seized the opportunity and rushed over like a black lightning. His speed was so fast that people had almost no time to react.

"Who is there?"

One of the kidnappers noticed the movement behind him and was about to turn around when Kogoro Mouri's fist hit him in the face like a cannonball.

The next moment, accompanied by a dull "bang" sound, the kidnapper's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground. He groaned in pain, his face full of pain and astonishment.

Seeing this, the other kidnapper's eyes suddenly turned red. He waved the dagger in his hand and rushed towards Maori Kogoro madly, as if he wanted to eat Maori Kogoro alive.

Maori Kogoro dodged sideways with a swift and smooth movement, easily avoiding the fierce attack. Then he turned around and delivered a beautiful roundhouse kick, which was like a gust of wind and hit the kidnapper's abdomen.

The kidnapper bent over in pain, a ferocious expression on his face. He cursed and waved the dagger wildly, trying to save the situation.

Kogoro Mori dodged flexibly by leaning sideways while keeping his eyes closely on the kidnapper's every move, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Conan was outside the warehouse, and saw Maori Kogoro fighting with the kidnappers, and Maori Ran was running towards the passage with Takei Naoko, and he was relieved. But he knew that the danger was not completely eliminated, so he quickly looked around to find ways to help them further.

Soon, he made a new discovery. Not far away from him, there was an abandoned iron rod. The length and weight were just right, as if it was a weapon specially prepared for him by God.

Seeing this, Conan immediately ran over to pick it up, held it tightly in his hand, then crouched down again and approached the warehouse, ready to support Kogoro Mouri at any time to help him subdue the vicious kidnappers.

Inside the warehouse, the kidnapper who was confronting Maori Kogoro gradually came to his senses, and the two were in a stalemate again. The injured kidnapper stared at Maori Kogoro viciously, his eyes full of murderous intent, while Maori Kogoro remained calm, took a defensive posture, and waited for the other party's next move.

Suddenly, the kidnapper seized an opportunity, rushed forward, and stabbed Kogoro Mori's chest with a dagger. His movements were swift and fierce.

Maori Kogoro quickly turned sideways and blocked with his arm, the dagger brushed his sleeve and passed by, bringing a gust of cold wind. He took advantage of the situation to grab the kidnapper's wrist holding the knife and twisted it hard, causing the kidnapper to feel pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Kogoro Mori took the opportunity to sweep his leg and tripped the kidnapper to the ground.

Seeing that his accomplice was at a disadvantage, the kidnapper who had been knocked to the ground by Mouri Kogoro struggled to get up, picked up a piece of wood on the ground, and with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, he wanted to attack Mouri Kogoro from behind.

“Uncle, be careful!”

Conan saw this scene clearly outside the warehouse and was extremely anxious. Without time to think, he raised the iron rod in his hand and threw it hard at the kidnapper who attacked him.

The iron rod drew an arc in the air and hit the kidnapper's arm accurately.

"what……"

The kidnapper only felt a sharp pain in his arm, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. His arm instantly lost consciousness and the wooden board in his hand fell with a "snap". As for him, he could not help but reveal an expression of unbearable pain on his face, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

"Want to sneak attack me? You are courting death!"

Maori Kogoro took this opportunity to quickly turn around and rush towards the attacker who had just recovered. He took a big step, jumped high, and kicked the kidnapper in the chest with a powerful kick.

"boom……"

The kidnapper had no time to mount an effective defense as he was hit right in the chest by the kick. He flew backwards several meters like a kite with a broken string, and hit a pile of discarded debris heavily with a dull thud. He then collapsed to the ground, losing the ability to resist.

……

"Ta Tata..."

Mao Lilan supported Takei Naoko and ran as fast as she could in the long and dark passage.

The sounds of fighting and chaos coming from behind were like a deadly soul-chasing curse, each one striking heavily on their hearts. The fear and anxiety were like a surging tide, completely drowning them.

However, the strong desire to survive was like a beacon in the darkness, guiding them in the right direction. They dared not stop for even a moment, and their steps became increasingly hurried and panicked.

Finally, after a lot of torment, they ran to the small door at the end of the passage. Mao Lilan did not hesitate at all and pushed the door open with all her strength.

In an instant, the dazzling sunlight rushed in like a wild horse, just like a ray of hope breaking through the darkness, instantly illuminating their faces full of fatigue and fear.

The two of them subconsciously narrowed their eyes, feeling the long-lost safety and tranquility in this warm and bright light. The heavy fear in their hearts gradually melted and dissipated like snow under the warm spring sun.

"call……"

Seeing that she had finally regained her freedom and was safe, Takei Naoko's tense nerves relaxed, her legs became limp as if the bones and muscles were pulled out, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Mao Lilan was quick to reach out her strong arms and hold her steadily, while comforting her softly but with strength: "Naoko, don't be afraid, we are safe."

Takei Naoko's eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked with sobs and almost couldn't cry. She finally squeezed out a few words: "Thank you, Xiaolan..."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Mao Lilan responded gently, and then, as if she had thought of something important, her expression froze, and she looked firmly in the direction of the warehouse and said to Takei Naoko: "By the way, Naoko, go to a safe place and wait for me. I want to go back to help Dad and the others!"

At this moment, the sound of fierce fighting continued to be heard in the warehouse. Every sound tugged at Mouri Ran's heart, making her deeply worried about the safety of Conan and her father Mouri Kogoro.

"Um……"

Takei Naoko's eyes were full of fear and reluctance. She subconsciously grabbed Mouri Ran's arm, but reason told her that she could not become a burden to Mouri Ran.

Moreover, her savior was still fighting the kidnappers in there. At this time, she could not become a burden to them.

Thinking of this, after hesitating for a moment, she nodded vigorously, her voice trembling a little: "Then you...you must be careful."

If Mao Lilan and others met with an accident while saving her, then this heavy guilt would accompany her for the rest of her life and become a shackle that she would never be able to let go of.

"Well, just wait for my good news!"

Mao Lilan responded with a firm smile, gently patted Takei Naoko's hand, then turned around and ran towards the warehouse like a black lightning...

……

On the other side, the kidnapper who was kicked to the ground by Maori Kogoro has recovered. He got up from the ground and saw Conan rushing in. There was a trace of ferocity in his eyes, like an angry wolf. He ignored the pain on his body and rushed towards Conan, wanting to catch this "troublemaker" who made his accomplice lose the ability to resist, in order to vent his anger.

Seeing all his movements, Conan sneered and waited calmly until the kidnapper approached. He suddenly squatted down, picked up the iron rod on the ground, and then swept the iron rod in his hand out with force. His movements were quick and neat.

The kidnapper was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the leg by the iron rod. He fell to the ground again, screaming in pain, and rolled on the ground holding his injured leg, his face full of pain.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward decisively and quickly, pressing his knee against the kidnapper's back to control him firmly. His movements were done in one go, showing his professionalism and decisiveness...
