Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 202 196. "I think I've seen you somewhere before?"

Bai Shi rejected Lin Longma's proposal. For him, it was a matter of deliberate intention. It was not worthwhile to ask others for help to deal with two unprofessional kidnappers.

"By the way, brother, if the opportunity is right, would you like to rescue the person?" Bai Shi thought for a while and asked Lin Longma.

"If possible, I'll rescue them. If there's no chance, I'll contact Shiratori."

Who is Lin Longma? He is an outstanding young entrepreneur, philanthropist, and excellent taxpayer in Tokyo.

As such a great and upright character, it is reasonable for him to send someone to verify if he finds that someone he knows may have been kidnapped.

However, when it was clearly discovered that Hattori Heiji had been kidnapped and there was no way to rescue him at the moment, his first reaction certainly should not have been to gather everyone to "get back the situation."

This is not the way an entrepreneur thinks, this is clearly the way a gang leader does things.

Therefore, when you know that something is impossible to do, you should contact the police immediately. Taxpayers' money supports so many SATs. It can't be that this is just for them to put on a good-looking anti-terrorism show, right?
In fact, it’s not that good to watch. Their movements are not as efficient as Gin’s killing.

"Don't worry, big brother. I'll go then."

It was night time, 2:30 in the morning to be exact. Shiraishi checked his service gun to make sure it was okay, then he went to the wall of Ito's house and climbed over it quietly.

The wall of Ito's house is not high, at most it can block the view.

After landing, Shiraishi walked around Ito's house, then tried the windows on the first floor and found an unlocked window.

Bai Shi tiptoed and pushed open the window. After looking outside and making sure that there was no one in the room, he climbed in swiftly.

The first thing Bai Shi did when he entered the room was to pull out his gun and start searching forward with the gun in a tactical stance.

Soon Bai Shi searched the entire first floor, but did not find the target.

Next is the second floor.

Bai Shi climbed the stairs gently. Because the stairs were made of wood, they would inevitably make noises if he was not careful.

So Bai Shi's progress was very slow.

But no matter how slow, Bai Shi finally reached the second floor silently.

He took a quick look in the corridor on the second floor and after confirming it was the master bedroom, he did not rush to search it.

Because there is another ladder facing the entrance to the villa's attic opposite the stairs to the second floor.

The entrance to the attic was closed at this moment. Bai Shi went to the ladder and found fresh signs of use on it.

The attic is indeed a good place to imprison people.

After confirming that there might be a problem with the attic, Bai Shi did not rush upstairs, but slowly walked towards the master bedroom that had just been confirmed.

He planned to search the entire second floor and then go to the attic to find out what was going on. Otherwise, if a fight broke out in the attic and there were still people on the second floor, the people on the second floor would immediately run away when they saw the situation was not good.

In serious cases, you will be attacked from both sides.

Although Bai Shi is skilled and courageous, his many years of experience on the battlefield have taught him that it is always right to be cautious.

Bai Shi sneaked silently to the door of the master bedroom, tried the closed door, and gently turned the handle. He found that the door was locked from the inside.

Bai Shi leaned over the door and listened to the sounds inside the room. A light snoring sound came into Bai Shi's ears.

There is someone in the master bedroom.

Shiraishi maintained his posture, holding the gun in one hand and reaching into his arms with the other hand to take out a portable tool. Then he fiddled with the door lock for a while, and with a "click" sound, the door lock of the master bedroom of Ito's house was opened by Shiraishi.

Although the door was unlocked, the person inside was clearly sleeping well. Even when Bai Shi entered the master bedroom, the woman on the bed still showed no sign of waking up.

Shiraishi came to the bed, glanced at the sleeping Ito, and then hit her neck hard.

The lawyer, who was originally in a deep sleep, was now sleeping like a baby.

Shiraishi pulled out the bed sheet from under the lawyer, tore it into strips, and then tied the lawyer up, not sparing the lawyer's mouth.

If this lawyer named Ito is surprisingly resistant and suddenly wakes up later, the measures taken by Shiraishi will be enough to prevent her from making any sound after she wakes up.

After dealing with the lawyer, he walked out of the master bedroom and checked several other rooms on the second floor one by one.

After making sure that there was no one else on the second floor, Shiraishi returned to the ladder leading to the attic.

Since there was no sign of the kidnappers on the first and second floors of the Ito residence, there was no doubt that the remaining people were all in the attic.

There are currently at least 3 hostages and at least 2 gangsters in the attic, which is still within Shiraishi's control.

Shiraishi glanced at the gun in his hand, made sure the safety was off, and then slowly climbed the ladder.

Coming to the entrance of the attic, Bai Shi tried the movable wooden board above his head and found that the board was not locked from above.

Under normal circumstances, the movable door of this attic cannot be locked. After all, this kind of attic that requires a ladder to go upstairs is mostly used to store miscellaneous items.

There is no need to install an anti-locking device in a place where miscellaneous items are stored, but it is a different story in a attic where people live.

Of course, the entrance and exit of the attic where people live would not be designed like this.

The wooden board was gently pushed open by Bai Shi, and the moonlight shone into the dark attic through the gaps in the board.

Bai Shi immediately observed, searched for the enemy, and identified the hostages - the hostages were actually quite easy to identify.

The captured Hattori Heiji was tied up with a girl, and there was a man lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

The remaining two kidnappers were dozing off not far away.

It seemed that the sound of Shiraishi entering or the moonlight woke up one of the kidnappers. The criminal woke up instantly and saw half of Shiraishi's head.

"Who are you?" The terrified gangster was about to raise his gun, but his gun was not fast enough or fierce enough.

Bai Shi arrived first, with the black muzzle of his gun already pointed at the two gangsters.

Standard battlefield shooting habits made Bai Shi empty the magazine as soon as he faced the enemy. The two gangsters who were leaning against each other fell to the ground instantly after being hit by several bullets each.

Reality never leaves people time to say their last words, and the loud gunshots also woke up the "doomed couple" who were leaning against each other.

"Mr. Shiraishi?!"

Compared to the panic of the girl next to him, Hattori Heiji seemed much calmer. He didn't recognize Shiraishi at first.

But at this moment, Shiraishi, who saved his life with a gun, made Hattori Heiji feel a sense of déjà vu in his mind more and more strongly.

Speaking of which, Conan had said not long ago that he seemed to have been rescued by someone? The same person holding a gun, like a god descending from the sky.

The man's surname also seemed to be Shiraishi, and his main job was a driver for a guild president.
No, is this some kind of innate holy body for bravery and righteousness?
