Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 301 295. The Naughty Child's Day of Fame - The End

In the warehouse, Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina were in despair.

As a traditional villain, Miyahara Satoshi was no exception. When he brought the two stars to the warehouse, he revealed the reason why they were kidnapped.

As stars who have been working in the entertainment industry for many years, Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina knew clearly that once the tape containing their new song fell into the hands of the kidnappers, it would be the moment of their death.

Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina also tried hard to find a way to escape from the warehouse, but the warehouse had no windows at all, only one entrance and exit.

The locked security door left them helpless. Lock picking is not one of the must-have skills for celebrities.

They are celebrities, not celebrity detectives. This suffix makes a big difference.

As for making some noise in the warehouse, or using local materials to escape from the "devil's cave", that was even more unthinkable.

First of all, the warehouse was in a remote location, and it took a long time to bring them here. It was hard to say whether the noise they made could be heard by anyone, and the most likely person to hear their call for help was their kidnapper.

Secondly, seeking help from local materials is even more unreliable.

The only things in this warehouse are various combustible materials - these things are obviously prepared for silencing people.

If they really use this thing to make some noise, the kidnappers won't be worried at all, and may even laugh at them.

Setting fire in a confined space. Even if you want to die, you can't choose such a tragic way to die.

Just when Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina were both in despair, suddenly a lot of noises were faintly heard outside the warehouse door.

When Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina listened carefully, the sound of the key being inserted into the door lock was clearly heard.

Then the warehouse door was opened and several police officers in uniform rushed into the room.

"Inspector Shiratori! We found the kidnapped hostage!" The leading police officer shouted excitedly outside, and then Shiratori hurried into the warehouse.

"Ms. Takayama and Mr. Nagano, right? I'm Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. You two are safe now!"

"Are we safe?" Takayama Nan and Nagano Shiina were a little slow to react and looked at each other.

"Yes, you are safe. The kidnappers who kidnapped you have been successfully captured. Now you two are really safe."

Shiratori, who had handled many kidnapping cases, understood the current situation of the TWO-MIX group very well. He was not in a hurry and just comforted the two of them in a soft voice.

As members of a popular group, Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina are both excellent at regulating their emotions.

After a brief moment of hesitation, they immediately realized that they had another concert to perform.

He immediately asked Shiratori to take them to the martial arts hall.

"Of course, this is what we should do." Shiratori readily agreed: "Don't worry, we will take the police car back and the journey will definitely be smooth.

Considering the time, you should be able to prepare a little more after you arrive."

The kidnapping incident has been put behind the minds of Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina, and they are now forcing themselves not to dwell on it.

Compared to the kidnapping case that has already ended, the concert that is about to take place is more important.

On the way back, Gao Shannan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked Bai Niao: "By the way, Officer Bai Niao, how did you find us?"

"This is all thanks to those children, the ones you just met today, Miss Gaoshan."

Shiratori, who was driving the car, did not look back. He answered Gao Shannan's questions while driving.

"Those children?" Gao Shannan looked very surprised. She really didn't expect that she was rescued with the help of those elementary school students she just met.

"Yes, that's right. It was those kids who first called the police on this kidnapping case.

Then they sent us a major clue, which was your backpack, Miss Gaoshan, which allowed us to identify the kidnapper.

In short, if it weren't for those children, our police operation today probably wouldn't have been so smooth."

"I see. By the way, Officer Shiratori, I have a favor to ask." Gao Shannan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Shiratori:

"I wonder if I can handle today's case during the concert later."

So-called stars are those who are always pursuing popularity. They were kidnapped before the concert and then successfully rescued, and finally held the concert successfully at the scheduled time.

Once this news is released, there is no telling how much popularity it will bring to their group.

Gao Shannan was not sure whether he could say at the concert that this was also their experience, and that the popularity was gained at the cost of their lives.

Naturally, she didn't want to give up the best publicity effect.

Fortunately, Shiratori is understanding.

"No problem, Ms. Gaoshan. As long as you don't mention the kidnapper's motives and the details of the case.

If we simply talk about the kidnapping, then it is allowed.”

"What about Conan and the others? Can't they tell me either?"

"Conan and the others can tell you, it's okay." If it is an ordinary elementary school student, it is better to keep it secret for safety reasons.

But Conan and his classmates...
Not to mention how many times they have been in the newspapers for various dangerous incidents, given their personalities, even if Gao Shannan didn't say anything, there's no guarantee that they wouldn't tell others themselves.

Instead of letting them speak for themselves, it is better to let Gao Shanmin speak for themselves. This way, the TWO-MIX group can at least share the popularity of these elementary school students.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much, Officer Shiratori!" Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina looked at each other.

After years of working together, Nagano Shiina immediately understood what Takayama Minami was up to. He gave his partner an encouraging look, silently supporting her idea.

Finally, when the concert started, the opening song that was originally scheduled to be performed by only Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina suddenly had a few more "little guests".
-
Backstage, Shiratori and Hayashi Ryoma stood in front of the monitor and watched this "lost and recovered" concert from a different perspective.

Shiratori asked curiously, "Why didn't you let me and TWO-MIX talk about you?
You should know that you are the biggest contributor to their rescue, right? "

"Because there is no need." Lin Longma said calmly: "My company is not destined to serve the majority of people.

Because if this kind of thing becomes famous, some people will think that I am the kind of detective who accepts commissions.

This kind of fame does me no good at all, so there is no need to mention it to them.”

Having said that, this is not the main reason why Lin Longma keeps a low profile.

The main reason why he didn't let Shiratori and the TWO-MIX group mention him was that if the media knew that Hayashi Ryoma accounted for more than 90% of the "output" in this incident, how could they possibly report on the Junior Detective Team?
Lin Longma wanted to make the elementary school students famous, so naturally he had to hide his role in the incident.

He not only reminded Shiratori of this, but everyone who was in the lounge at the time was also reminded of this by Lin Longma.

As for the elementary school students on the stage, apart from anything else, when it comes to being in the limelight, Lin Longma still trusts them very much.
