Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 252: Dangerous, Someone Else
In another room of the abandoned school.

After getting the earring-shaped walkie-talkie, Conan has been looking for and waiting for the opportunity.

He was ready to convey the message to Makino by tapping the microphone.

By using the different tapping sounds caused by the fingertips and fingernails hitting the microphone, you can basically represent the "long" and "short" in Morse code.

Using this method, he could convey a message for help to Makino without being able to speak and trying his best to avoid being discovered by the criminals.

The only thing they needed to pay attention to was the prisoner who was pacing in the room and watching them.

Since he is blind, Conan can only determine the criminal's current location by listening to his footsteps.

At the same time, behind Conan.

Although Furuya Rei has realized that Conan is not an "ordinary person", he also knows that instead of thinking about who Conan is, it is better to think about the situation they are facing.

As soon as he realized something was wrong, he had already sent a text message to Makino for help and left information about the criminal.

Plus, Conan behind him seemed to be planning to use that mini phone to communicate with the outside world...

Overall, their current situation, while dangerous, is not "fatal" or "hopeless."

Since Makino already knew their current situation, it was probably only a matter of time before they were rescued.

All he could do was to find a way to prevent their situation from becoming more dangerous before Makino came here.

To do this, he must find a way to deduce the ultimate goal of this group of criminals and the actions they might take next.

Judging from what the criminal said when he took away Kogoro Mori and the man named Hiko Fukuyama, the criminal should have wanted Mr. Mori and others to "help".

Although he didn't know who that guy named Fukuyama Hiko was, judging from the fact that this group of criminals specially invited the "famous detective" Maori Kogoro, they might want Mr. Maori and Mr. Fukuyama to help them solve a puzzle or crack a code.

If we think based on this premise, then the ultimate goal of these prisoners is most likely something like "money".

But there is still a question, which is why these criminals fired that shot in the coffee shop before leaving.

At that time, they had already been controlled by these prisoners, and there was no need for these people to "threaten" them in this way.

That shot was probably not just to attract the attention of the surrounding residents, it may have other "meanings".

And for some reason, he always felt that this incident was not that simple...

Thinking of this, the figure of Kogoro Mori suddenly appeared in Rei Fōgani's mind.

At this moment, he could only hope that Kogoro Mori could realize the importance of "time" to them.

The longer Kogoro can delay solving a puzzle or code, the greater their chances of survival.

Fūya Rei firmly believed that as long as Makino was given some time, he would be able to solve the truth of the kidnapping case and find this place!
Master Maori, you have to go slower!

……

At the same time, in Muye’s car.

"Okay, I got it." After hanging up the call, Makino put the phone back into his pocket.

Officer Gao Mu, who was driving nearby, asked, "Counselor, what's the situation?"

Makino nodded and said, "Shiratori and the others have already arrived near the old hotel, but there are no signs of the criminals there. They are now preparing to drive to our side."

Hearing this, Officer Takagi swallowed subconsciously.

Since Officer Shiratori and the others are fine, that means... they are the ones who won the prize and the criminal is on their side!

Thinking of this, Officer Takagi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He was very confident in Counselor Makino's ability, but he had no confidence in his own ability!
Not only did the prisoners have hostages, they also had bombs. What if I hindered Counselor Makino?

At this moment, Makino glanced at the abandoned school in the distance and said, "Okay, let's park here."

"Ah...ah! Okay!" After a moment of hesitation, Officer Takagi immediately nodded and stepped on the brakes.

After the car stopped, Makino took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and said slowly: "It can be confirmed that the criminal is in the school ahead. Gao Mu, you wait for my news in the car first."

Officer Gao Mu blinked blankly for a moment before he realized what was going on. He quickly said, "Counselor, it's too dangerous for you to go alone! I'll go with you..."

Makino chuckled and shook his head: "Shiratori and the others are not far from here. You are responsible for stopping them here so as not to disturb the prisoners before I finish here. Don't worry, these prisoners will not be in danger this time, and they will be interrogated alive~"

Officer Takagi: “…”

Ok?
Ah? ? ?
After a moment's silence, Officer Gao Mu took a deep breath and nodded tremblingly, "Okay, okay, I understand..."

The next second, Officer Takagi looked at Makino's back with a dull expression.

He originally wanted to say that this was not what he meant, but when he thought of the "glorious deeds" of Counselor Makino before, he suddenly felt that the Counselor's understanding seemed to be correct...

indeed.

From a certain perspective, the ones in danger were not Councillor Makino, but the prisoners.

……

Not long after, inside the school.

As soon as he entered the school, Makino saw the black truck that had appeared in the surveillance video before.

There was no one in the car, which means that everyone, including the hostages, was currently in the teaching building of this school.

After carefully checking the interior of the car, Makino quietly climbed into the school building through the broken window at the side.

Although he hasn't actively used the A+ skill "Hide" for a long time, his understanding of this skill has increased instead of decreased.

Moreover, as his physical fitness continued to improve and he became more and more proficient in the use of [Qi], Concealment, a skill that was originally at the A+ level, had been easily used by him to achieve S or even EX level effects.

Not long after, Makino found the room where Conan, Furukaya Zero and the others were.

After taking a quick look at the situation in the room, Makino walked directly into the room, appeared behind the man with the gun, knocked him out with a light wave of his knife, and then quietly put the man on the ground.

After doing all this, Makino ignored Conan and the others who were not far away, but walked out of the room and went upstairs.

It’s not that he had any interest in continuing to place Fūtani and the other two there, but he planned to wait until he had dealt with the criminals upstairs before doing anything else.

It wouldn't take long anyway. Instead of untying the ropes on several people now and then explaining the current situation to them in a whisper, it would be better to wait until everything is over.

Anyway, there aren't many criminals upstairs, and the case will be over soon, so they don't mind suffering a little longer.

Shortly after Makino left, Conan and Furiya Rei both frowned. They vaguely felt that they seemed to have heard a strange light sound just now, and then the criminal's footsteps disappeared, and there has been no movement until now.

Since they couldn't see anything, even though they felt a little strange, they didn't "move" easily, but continued to stay where they were and stay quietly.

Conan also clenched his fists tightly to prevent the criminal who stopped to observe them from noticing the earring phone in his hand.

A moment later, on the second floor of the school, Makino had just walked to a classroom when he heard the familiar voice of Maori Kogoro.

"Please give me a little more time. This code is too difficult. One hour is not enough!"

"Huh! Detective Maori, if I'm not mistaken, you want to delay time, right?"

"No! This is a ten-digit password! Under normal circumstances, let alone an hour, even..."

"Shut up! Whether you can solve it or not is your problem, but I hope you don't forget that your life and the lives of the people below are in our hands! There are still thirty-eight minutes."

"But I really..."

"Shut up!"

"..."

After hearing the conversation between Maori Kogoro and another man, Makino blinked and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Although Kogoro Mori will indeed explode when his friends and relatives are in danger, no matter how much he explodes or how much his reasoning ability improves, it is still too difficult for him to crack the code.

What's more, in Makino's impression, Kogoro Mori doesn't seem to be good at cracking complex codes.

In other words, these criminals kidnapped so many people at the same time just to let Kogoro Mori crack the code?

Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?

Bombs, kidnapping of numerous hostages, deliberate shootings, all planned so carefully in advance, was it really just for this purpose?
Thinking of this, Makino slowly shook his head.

At this point, even if these criminals have some ulterior motives, it doesn’t matter.

It's just fish on the chopping board.

After that, just let Inspector Megure and the others interrogate him slowly.

Thinking of this, Makino took a close look at the locations of everyone in the room, then walked directly into the room.

Since Kogoro Mori was standing right in front of the door, he noticed Makino at the door the first time, and his pupils contracted instantly.

Before Kogoro Mori could react, Makino disappeared in front of him in an instant.

——“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

After four soft sounds, everyone in the room except Makino and Maori Kogoro fell to the ground.

After coming back to his senses, Maori Kogoro widened his eyes excitedly, and looked at Makino beside him with great excitement, and even a crystal tear fell from his left eye: "Makino..."

Makino carefully checked the pockets of several people on the ground and asked, "Mr. Maori, what code did they ask you to crack?"

Maori Kogoro leaned on the desk beside him and shook his head, "I don't know the details, but I think it should be the password of a bank account."

"Bank account password?"

"That's right, Mr. Fukuyama..." Halfway through his words, Kogoro Mori realized that Fukuyama Hiko beside him had been knocked down by Makino just like the other criminals.

After a two-second pause, Maori Kogoro glanced at Fukuyama Yan on the ground and said, "The man wearing glasses on the ground is called Fukuyama Yan. He is a hostage kidnapped by these guys just like us.

Not long ago, he told the kidnappers the digital password he knew. According to their conversation, they asked me to crack the so-called "second password", so I guessed it was the password of a bank account. "

Hearing this, Makino nodded.

This does make sense, as many bank accounts require two passwords to be entered when making large transfers or transactions.

If the purpose of these criminals is money, then Kogoro Mori's reasoning should be correct.

but……

Makino glanced at the man with glasses who was also knocked unconscious by him, and asked, "Mr. Fukuyama, was he also in the coffee shop at the time?"

"Yes, he was already in the store when I entered." Kogoro Mouri nodded.

Makino looked down at Fukuyama Yan beside him and frowned slightly.

It seems that this matter is a little more complicated than he imagined.

Now it seems that the reason why this group of people called Kogoro Mori to the coffee shop downstairs should have a lot to do with this man named Fukuyama Hiko.

This Fukuyama Hiko should be one of the core persons in this kidnapping incident.

In addition, he had another question that had not been answered, which was why the prisoners deliberately fired that shot before leaving.

Thinking of this, Makino said in his mind: "Bain, help me investigate this guy named Fukuyama Yan. By the way, use my phone to send a text message to Takagi, telling him that the matter is over and ask them to come directly."

——【The message has been sent, and the investigation of "Fukuyama Yan" is currently underway.】

After doing all this, Makino grabbed the three kidnappers on the ground and turned to look at Maori Kogoro: "I'll leave Fukuyamahiko to you, Mr. Maori."

"Okay, okay!" Kogoro Mori stared blankly at Makino who easily lifted up the three kidnappers on the ground with his hands, and subconsciously twitched his lips.

As expected of Makino, this power is so terrifying no matter how many times I see it...

……

Soon after, downstairs.

After hearing the footsteps coming from outside the house, Conan and the other two in the classroom on the first floor suddenly became nervous.

Conan in particular, his expression changed noticeably after hearing two footsteps coming from outside the house.

He wanted to take this opportunity to call Officer Makino, but he didn't expect the criminal upstairs to come down so quickly!

If this continues...

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Conan and others.

"By the way, Makino, these kidnappers just tied the bomb from my body to Conan. Do we need to call the bomb disposal team?"

"Don't bother. The bomb is quite common and it won't matter even if you don't defuse it."

"..."

After hearing the voice of Kogoro Mouri, especially the name "Makino" he said, Conan and Furuya Rei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their original nervous mood disappeared in an instant.

Not long after, Kogoro Mouri put Fukuyama Hiko, who was in his arms, on a chair beside him, and went forward to help Rei Furuya and Conan take off the blindfolds on their faces and the ropes on their bodies.

Makino also piled the three kidnappers in his hands together with the other kidnapper in the room, and turned to look at the yard outside the door.

At this time, Officer Takagi, Officer Shiratori and others also arrived at the scene.
