Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 295 289. The Naughty Child's Day of Fame
In Lin Longma's view, whether it is robbing a bank or kidnapping, it is a job that requires subtraction.

The more external influences there are, the greater the risk. And celebrities themselves are not good targets for kidnapping.

Because the influence of these people is so great, the risk is also great.

With the same action plan and configuration, the money that the rich second generation who go to kidnap people may not necessarily get is much less than that of the celebrities.

It won't cause any impact.

And this is Beika Town, a place where robbing a bank is as easy as drinking water and eating.

If you really want money, why not just rob a bank? Why take such a big risk?
Suddenly, Lin Ryoma noticed Conan who also looked surprised. His eyes flashed and he took out his cell phone.

"Bai Shi, where are you?"

"I'll be in the restaurant soon, bro."

"A van just drove away from the restaurant entrance. Please write down the license plate number."

"Okay, I've made a note of it."

There were a lot of people at the restaurant entrance, which prevented the van from speeding up. But the speed of the van was not too slow, and it seemed that the van had obtained a special pass to the martial arts hall.

The traffic policeman in charge of the checkpoint just glanced at the window of the van, and then simply let it pass, allowing the van to drive into the internal road of the martial arts hall and soon disappeared.

"So, it seems that TWO-MIX's concert tonight won't be able to take place?"

As the lead singer of the group, Gao Shannan was kidnapped. Even if the concert was lip-synced, there had to be someone to lip-sync.

Judging from Gao Shannan’s performance just now, this group might be wiped out by the kidnappers.

"Tsk, it's hard to say."

Lin Longma has been analyzing the motives of the kidnappers, but unfortunately the thinking patterns of the murderers, gangsters and criminals in Beika Town are too abstract.

No matter how Lin Longma speculated, he could not figure out why they did this.

It's impossible that they arrested two stars who were about to hold concerts and blackmailed their management company? That's too outrageous.

Although Lin Longma didn't understand what the kidnappers wanted to do, it didn't hinder his confidence in Conan.

This guy is a living plague god, and he usually brings all kinds of murders to the entire city.

Then bring despair to the murderer at the crime scene.

Based on Hayashi Ryoma's experience of observing Conan and the Mori family, if Takayama Minami just died, then she is the victim in this case.

But she was not dead, she was just kidnapped. With Conan at the scene, he might be able to rescue her.

Lin Longma doesn’t understand the thought process of the Mihua murderer and the criminals, but that doesn’t mean others don’t understand either.

Conan is the best in the detective field, and he is familiar with all kinds of abstract motives and methods.

This little accident that happened in the restaurant suddenly made Lin Longma no longer in a hurry to go back.

Logically speaking, Vermouth must be extremely anxious about the Kudo family's affairs, so what if he adds a little fuel to the fire?
-
The criminal police came quickly, rushing to the martial arts hall with sirens blaring. It was obvious that the kidnappers had called the organizer, and the organizer had called the police.

When Lin Longma left the restaurant, he unexpectedly saw Shiratori's police car at the entrance of the martial arts hall, so he walked forward.

"President Lin."

"President Lin, you are here too?"

"Chairman Lin" At the entrance of the martial arts hall, Lin Ryoma saw Shiratori's men. When these detectives saw Lin Ryoma, they all greeted him.

Now, who in the entire task force, and even in the Investigation Division 3, doesn’t know that Shiratori from the series is a strong candidate to compete for the next management officer?

The people in their task force know better how great Shiratori's chances of winning are - once the case on their hands is solved, even if it's not a huge achievement, it will be enough to send Shiratori to the position of administrator.

Criminal intermediaries are large criminal gangs, but isn’t this “zoo” one?
It's all for the sake of eradicating crime for the country, and it doesn't matter if it's a criminal agency or a zoo.

Who in the entire task force doesn't know that Hayashi Ryoma and their Inspector Shiratori are best friends?

The murderer, Kyosuke Fudo, who attacked Inspector Shiratori and caused him to be seriously injured and hospitalized and almost unable to wake up, was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department by Ryoma Hayashi himself.

Everyone in the Investigation Division knows that if it weren't for Inspector Shiratori's identity as a detective, Kyosuke Fudo's greatest value would probably be his modest contribution to Tokyo's land reclamation.

When this guy was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department, he answered every question and his whole mental state was in a daze.

To make a senior psychologist become like this, one can imagine what he went through before he was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department.

No one, or at least no police officer, would sympathize with this guy. There may be such a magical creature as the Virgin Mary in this world.

But the Virgin Mary will never appear among the front-line criminal police.

Lin Longma smiled and greeted the detectives along the way. After entering the martial arts hall, he asked one of the detectives:
"Where is Ren Sanlang?"

"President Lin, Inspector Shiratori is currently investigating the situation in the backstage area. Do you need me to take you there?"

"Okay, please."

Generally, a task force will not take on other cases before the current case is closed. Also, after a task force case is closed, the same personnel may not be used to investigate a new case.

But Shiratori's task force clearly broke this convention.

This means that the higher-ups are very satisfied with Shiratori's work and are more inclined to consider Shiratori as the candidate for management officer.

The fact that Shiratori was in charge of investigating the TWO-MIX kidnapping case was a sign of accumulated merit. For a case like this where a public figure is kidnapped, it would be a great achievement if it is solved.

After all, the influence of celebrities is there, and it is definitely extremely positive publicity for the Metropolitan Police Department.

On the other hand, it is giving Shiratori an opportunity to train his subordinates.

Just as Inspector Megure of the 3rd series is a direct subordinate of the management officer Matsumoto Kiyonaga, Shiratori's subordinates also need to have their own direct subordinates.

Otherwise, if a commander takes office without any support, it would not be a promotion but a demotion in disguise.

Under the guidance of the detectives from the task force, Lin Longma made his way to the backstage of the concert without any obstruction.

At this moment, Shiratori was asking Conan and his friends about the kidnapping of Takayama Minami.

"Inspector Shiratori, President Lin is here."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Shiratori raised his head unexpectedly: "Ryoma, are you coming to the concert too?"

Although it's not surprising that the president of a big company comes to a concert, Shiratori really can't imagine what the scene will be like when Lin Ryoma watches a concert.

In Shiratori's impression, although Hayashi Ryoma is not the serious type, he is also a workaholic.

Watching concerts as a form of leisure has nothing to do with Lin Longma.

"That's not the case." Lin Longma shook his head and denied Bai Niao's idea: "It's just that there was a traffic jam nearby, and I just happened to notice something."
