Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 573: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Ta Tata..."

However, he had just subdued a kidnapper and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps from the other side of the warehouse.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan became alert instantly and looked up almost at the same time.

They saw two burly kidnappers, holding a thick wooden stick and an iron rod respectively, rushing towards them with ferocious looks on their faces.

It turns out that the kidnappers were not just the ones who appeared earlier, there were also accomplices hiding in the dark.

At this moment, the two newly appeared kidnappers saw their companions being subdued one after another, and their hearts were filled with anger and panic. They just wanted to save the situation at all costs.

"careful!"

Conan yelled, quickly picking up a piece of gravel from the ground and throwing it in the direction of one of the kidnappers.

The kidnapper was hit on the shoulder by the sudden stone and his movements paused slightly, but he quickly regained his ferocious posture and continued to approach.

Maori Kogoro quickly stood up and took a defensive posture, ready to deal with the kidnapper's attack at any time. He whispered to Conan: "Kid, hide behind me!"

Conan did not flinch, but instead held the iron rod tightly in his hands with both hands, his eyes firm: "Uncle, I'll help you!"

The two kidnappers looked at each other and sneered, "Just a little brat like you?"

"I really don't know how to live or die!"

Before he could finish his words, the kidnapper holding a wooden stick took the lead. He raised the stick high, and with a whistling sound, he chopped it down towards Kogoro Mori's head, as if he wanted to split Kogoro Mori in half.

Kogoro Mouri reacted quickly, pushing Conan to a safe area behind him while dodging to the side, easily avoiding the fierce attack.

The wooden stick hit the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust.

At the same time, another kidnapper holding an iron rod seized the opportunity and swung the iron rod in his hand towards Kogoro Mouri's waist.

Kogoro Mori quickly took a step back and narrowly avoided this round of attack.

Seeing the whole scene, Conan, who was hiding behind some debris, frowned tightly.

He knew that Kogoro Mori was now outnumbered by two and in an extremely dangerous situation, so he had to find a way to help him as soon as possible.

However, although he was holding an iron rod, he was just a child of six or seven years old after all.

In terms of strength and skills, there was a world of difference between him and the two burly and ferocious kidnappers.

If he rashly joined Kogoro Mori's fight with the kidnappers, he would most likely not only be of no help, but instead become a burden, making Kogoro Mori's situation even worse.

Thinking of this, he looked around anxiously, trying to find something that could turn the situation around.

Suddenly, he found an abandoned rope not far away. Conan had an idea and rushed to the rope as fast as he could, shouting, "Uncle, hold on a little longer!"

While Kogoro Mori relied on his superb fighting skills to flexibly avoid the two kidnappers' repeated attacks like a storm, he was secretly complaining in his heart.

The two kidnappers had obviously been cooperating for a long time, and their attacks were seamlessly connected, one wave after another, rushing towards him like a surging tide. Even though Kogoro Mori was experienced, he felt a little overwhelmed at the moment, and there were already several marks of being scratched by sticks on his body.

At this critical moment when the situation became increasingly tense, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Conan running towards the far end of the warehouse.

Kogoro Maori suddenly felt confused. What was this kid going to do at this critical moment?
Could it be that he was going to seek external assistance?

Well, judging from the current situation, it is really beyond the ability of one person alone to subdue these two kidnappers who work so well together and are so ferocious.

But in this dangerous battle, the only person who can really help, after much thought, is probably Bai Ye, the fighting master whose skills are far superior to his daughter's.

But the key point is that Bai Ye was seconded by Inspector Megure and his team to investigate a difficult homicide case, and he is not nearby at the moment.

Otherwise, he would have notified President Takei to come and help as soon as he discovered his whereabouts.

Moreover, even if the other party is nearby at this moment, it will probably take a lot of time for him to come and support me.

Time is life, every minute and every second is precious, and even a moment of delay may make the situation develop in a worse direction.

However, despite the confusion in his heart, the various adventures he had experienced with Conan during this period of time made Maori Kogoro have an indescribable trust in this seemingly ordinary child. Therefore, he chose to continue to believe in Conan without any hesitation, and turned this trust into a force of perseverance, devoting himself to the fight against the kidnappers.

So, while gritting his teeth, mobilizing all his strength, and trying his best to resist the kidnappers' crazy attack, he also did not forget to move his feet cleverly, adjust his position, and always pay attention to the movements of the kidnappers, so as not to give them the opportunity to chase in the direction Conan left.

At this time, Conan had already run to the corner of the warehouse.

This place is simply a "maze" of discarded items, with all kinds of old and dilapidated equipment and messy debris piled up like mountains.

There are huge, dusty, seemingly abandoned industrial fans, worn-out but relatively sturdy-looking fire extinguishers, abandoned oil drums scattered on the ground with rusty surfaces, and ropes that have been casually discarded to the side...

Conan quickly scanned these items, and without any hesitation, he took a step forward, leaned over and picked up the rope.

Conan skillfully fiddled with the rope with his hands. After carefully checking that the rope was long enough and had excellent toughness to fully meet his next plan, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

At the same time, at the other end of the warehouse, Kogoro Mori was engaged in a fierce fight with two kidnappers.

The kidnapper holding the wooden stick was extremely strong. Every time he swung the stick, there was a whistling sound, and his target was directly aimed at Kogoro Mori's vital points.

Maori Kogoro dodged left and right, and his body was scratched by the stick, and his clothes became tattered. The other kidnapper holding an iron rod was very cunning. He took advantage of the gap when Maori Kogoro was avoiding the attack of the stick and swung the iron rod at various tricky angles, making Maori Kogoro unable to defend himself and his physical strength was gradually consumed in this high-intensity confrontation.

The two kidnappers seemed to realize that Kogoro Mouri's physical strength was gradually consumed in the high-intensity confrontation and his breathing became rapid, so their attack became more and more fierce, trying to subdue him in a short time.

Noticing this scene, Conan knew that time was running out and there was no time to waste. After making sure that the rope was strong enough and would not break easily, he held the rope tightly and quickly approached the direction of the kidnapper and Mouri Kogoro.

At this time, the kidnapper holding the wooden stick was jumping high, preparing to hit Maori Kogoro again, while the other kidnapper holding the iron rod was waiting for an opportunity, trying to give Maori Kogoro a fatal blow.

Seeing this, Conan waited until the distance was right and chose the right moment. He held one end of the rope with both hands and swung the rope quickly in the air a few times to accumulate enough power, and then swung it towards the kidnapper holding a wooden stick.

The rope was like a nimble black python, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and accurately entwining the kidnapper's legs. Then Conan pulled it hard.

"Ah!" The kidnapper was caught off guard and let out a scream. His body instantly lost balance and fell forward, and the wooden stick in his hand flew out.

With a "bang", the kidnapper fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Little devil, you are courting death!"

The other kidnapper holding an iron rod was furious when he saw this. He brandished the iron rod, turned around and rushed towards Conan, shouting, "I'm going to punish you!"

Seeing the kidnapper rushing towards him, Conan frowned, then dodged left and right flexibly, using the complex environment in the warehouse to skillfully deal with the kidnapper, while using the rope in his hand to constantly interfere with the kidnapper's actions.

Maori Kogoro took advantage of this precious gap to quickly adjust his breathing and recover some strength. Then, he saw the flaw of the kidnapper holding the iron rod because of chasing Conan, shouted loudly, and rushed over like a cheetah.

Then, he exerted force with his legs, jumped high, drew a sharp arc in the air, and kicked the kidnapper's back with full power.

Hearing the sharp whistling sound of wind coming from behind, the kidnapper thought to himself that something was wrong. Without time to think, he turned around in panic and quickly used the iron rod in his hand to resist with his years of fighting experience.

The next moment, accompanied by a dull "bang" sound, Kogoro Maori's flying kick collided heavily with the iron rod, and a powerful impact force instantly spread at the collision point.

With the help of this reaction force, Kogoro Mouri adjusted his body flexibly in the air, and kicked the kidnapper accurately in the abdomen.

The kidnapper was kicked back several steps by the sudden attack, a painful expression on his face, and the iron rod in his hand almost slipped out of his hand due to the severe pain.

However, although the two kidnappers were temporarily frustrated in this round of confrontation, they did not give up.

They looked at each other, then quickly adjusted their attack strategy and began to slowly circle around Mouri Kogoro and Conan, constantly looking for the perfect opportunity to attack again.

Maori Kogoro and Conan stood back to back, forming a solid line of defense. Their eyes were full of vigilance, closely watching the kidnappers' every move.

Sweat dripped down their foreheads like beads from a broken string, soaking their clothes, but they did not dare to relax at all...

……

When Mao Lilan rushed into the warehouse anxiously, she gasped at the sight. The warehouse was in a mess, as if it had been through a violent storm. Miscellaneous items were scattered all over the floor, cartons were torn to pieces, and wooden boxes were lying all over the place.

And his father, Kogoro Mori, was confronting a tall and strong kidnapper.

——The kidnapper had a face full of flesh, standing there like a small mountain, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he could eat people. He was waving a thick wooden stick in his hand, and every time he swung it, there was a whirring sound, which made people shudder.

Maori Kogoro was concentrating, dodging the attacks of the wooden sticks nimbly. His eyes were fixed on the kidnapper's every move, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and soaking his hair at the temples, but he was unaware of it, as he was fully immersed in this tense confrontation.

Not far away, Conan was slightly hunched over, his eyes closely following every move of another kidnapper, trying to find the key clues to break the deadlock from the kidnapper's body movements, eye changes, and even breathing rhythm.

Seeing all this, Mouri Ran's heart tightened instantly, and she subconsciously clenched her fists. She wanted to rush up immediately and fight side by side with her father and Conan to subdue the two evil kidnappers.

But she was not an impulsive person after all, and reason quickly overcame impulse.

She knew very well that in such a chaotic and dangerous situation, rushing into the battlefield rashly would most likely disrupt the original rhythm of Kogoro Mori and Conan. Not only would she be unable to provide effective help, but she might become a burden to them, making the situation even more critical.

At this moment, he must remain calm in order to help his father and Conan out of trouble.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan took a deep breath and tried to calm her pounding heart. Then, her smart eyes began to quickly look around, not missing any corner, trying to find help to turn the tide in this mess.

Suddenly, her eyes were fixed on a pile of debris not far away. In the corner, several steel pipes of different lengths were piled up in a mess, with a cold metallic luster on the surface.

Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold and feasible idea flashed through her mind.

"If we can use these steel pipes..."

Pursing her pink lips, Mao Lilan cautiously approached the pile of steel pipes. With every step she took, she tried her best to control her movements, trying not to make the slightest sound, so as not to attract the attention of the two kidnappers who were as ferocious as wolves.

Soon, Mao Lilan approached the pile of steel pipes.

Her fingers touched the cold metal, feeling its weight and texture. Mao Lilan picked out a steel pipe of moderate length that looked the strongest.

Holding the steel pipe of moderate thickness and feeling its cold touch, Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Whether these steel pipes are used as weapons or to create interference, they can buy precious time for her father and Conan.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan's eyes swept across the scene again, and then began to look for the best time and position...
