I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 436 How could he possibly have been kidnapped? (1st update)
Seeing how easily Kogoro Mouri was captured.

Shiraishi E's eyes were filled with contempt!
He had only ever heard of people being troubled by things they couldn't have in their youth, never by things they couldn't have in their middle age.

Besides, weren't you hanging out with Horikoshi Yumi a while ago?

Why are you still troubled by women?
Although the three female kidnappers successfully drugged Kogoro Mouri, they were still unable to carry him off the luxury yacht even when they worked together.

Kurosaki Reiko had no choice but to ask Shiraishi E for help: "Hey handsome, the three of us aren't strong enough to move Kogoro Mouri over here... Could you please lend a hand?"

Shiraishi E had completely given up hope on the intelligence of these three women.

He said, "Why did you insist on bringing Kogoro Mouri here? Why didn't you just take this luxury yacht away?"

Kurosaki Reiko suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Huh? What you said makes a lot of sense!"

"If we take both yachts away, won't they be stranded at sea?"

"Hahaha!! I'm such a genius, I actually thought of such a method!"

As she spoke, she began to laugh shamelessly, her breasts, which had been drained of their brains, swaying back and forth.

Suddenly, Shiraishi E felt that, at this moment, the phrase "big breasts, no brains" had become a tangible reality.

He interrupted the other person's daydreaming, saying, "It's no use doing that; they're all wearing GPS watches."

As he spoke, he raised his wrist to show the other person the GPS watch.

"Just press this button to send a distress signal, and the nearest rescue team will come to your aid."

"Then your kidnapping will be exposed! You don't want to be wanted by the police, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Reiko Kurosaki's smile froze instantly. She realized that she had been too naive and hurriedly said, "Then... then what do you think we should do?"

Shiraishi Eya had already given up hope that they could come up with any good ideas, and said, "Just do as I say!"

"I'll go back and discuss it with the other two." Kurosaki Reiko thought this was a good idea and immediately went back to ask the other two for their opinions.

Chinatsu Akai and Asami Morikawa had absolutely no objections.

They felt that this young man was far smarter than the three of them, and also had a grudge against Eri Kisaki, so he was trustworthy!

They might as well just follow Shiraishi E's orders; then they wouldn't have to use their brains.

Beneath the azure sea, sunlight refracts through the water, creating dreamy dappled patterns.

Ran, Sonoko, and Eri, dressed in diving suits, darted through the coral reefs like three mermaids.

Colorful tropical fish swam past them, prompting them to excitedly take selfies with them.

They would occasionally take pictures of strange and unusual fish and plants as keepsakes.

Just as the three of them were having a great time taking pictures, Ran suddenly noticed something and started looking around. Shiraishi E's figure was no longer visible in the blue sea.

Ran quickly patted Eri and Sonoko on the back, made a gesture to rise, and the three of them swam rapidly towards the surface of the sea.

"Splash—" The three of them burst out of the water at the same time and took off their breathing apparatus.

"Oh no, Hui is missing!" Xiaolan quickly told the other two.

"Oh no! I was so busy taking pictures that I didn't realize he was gone!" Sonoko said belatedly.

Eri Kisaki had just wiped the seawater off her face and was saying nothing when she suddenly froze.

The luxury yacht that was originally moored nearby has disappeared, replaced by a dilapidated white yacht gently rocking in the waves.

"What's going on? Where's our ship?" Eri Kisaki stared wide-eyed in surprise, wondering if she had been underwater for too long and was hallucinating.

"Yes! Where's our luxury yacht? How did it become such a small boat?" Sonoko exclaimed as she turned around. "It must have been taken away!" Ran realized something, her expression turning grim.

The three swam to the small yacht, and after struggling to climb aboard, they found their belongings scattered on the deck.

Eri's sunscreen, Ran's sun hat, Sonoko's waterproof camera—everything seemed to have been hastily transferred over.

"Dad? Dad, where are you?" Xiaolan called out twice, though she had little hope.

Sonoko called out, "Emi, are you on the ship?!"

Eri Kisaki felt there was nothing to shout about; the small yacht was only so big that you could see all the hiding places at a glance.

She had a bad feeling; the two seemed to have been kidnapped.

Eri checked her belongings and found that her phone had also been thrown at her. She instinctively turned on the screen and saw an unread text message.

"Hmm?" She realized this must be a clue left by the perpetrator and quickly looked at it carefully: "If you don't want anything to happen to your husband, then do as we say. Don't call the police, don't make a fuss. Wait for further contact."

Eri's news reminded her of something Shiraishi E had reminded her of that morning.

She realized that the kidnappers were after her.

It's just that Kogoro and Shiraishi E were unlucky and took the blame for him.

She took a deep breath and then told Ran and Sonoko about it.

After she finished speaking, she began to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me... otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

"Mom, how can you blame yourself? Nobody knew this would happen!" Xiaolan comforted her.

"Exactly! If anyone's to blame, it's those guys!" Sonoko also felt that this matter couldn't be attributed to Eri Kisaki at all.

She touched her chin and said, "However... I feel like something's not right."

"Something's not right, Sonoko?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Tell us, let us analyze it." Eri Kisaki hadn't noticed anything amiss yet.

Sonoko voiced her doubts: "Think about it, how could someone as amazing as Ei be kidnapped? It's more likely that she'll be the one kidnapping others."

These words immediately won the approval of Fei Lan and her daughter.

Xiao Lan goes without saying. She has gone through several great storms with Shiraishi E and knows how powerful she is. She is calm and composed even when facing airplanes and cannons.

Eri, on the other hand, recalled what had happened on the ship. The person who had managed to help her escape from the cabin that had been turned into a biological testing ground must be very capable.

After Sonoko said that, she also felt that it was impossible for Shiraishi E to have been kidnapped.

“So… Shiraishi-kun wasn’t kidnapped,” Eri Kisaki said slowly.

Xiaolan immediately realized: "I know!! It must have been those kidnappers who kidnapped Dad while he was drinking and fishing!"

“After he noticed something was wrong, he didn’t have time to notify us and immediately followed after them.”

"Because his father was in their hands, Hui dared not make any rash moves, so he could only pretend to be captured along with them, waiting for an opportunity to rescue his father!"

Sonoko snapped her fingers and said, "That's right! That should be it!"

Eri's thoughts became clearer immediately, and she said, "So, we should do as the kidnappers say now, and not provoke them, so as to buy some time for Shiraishi-kun!"

Xiao Lanyuanzi approves of this method.

None of the three were in the mood to continue diving, and Eri awkwardly steered the small yacht back to the dock.
