Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 92 Are there any masters?

Hanai Akiko finally compromised, of course this had nothing to do with Tachibana Shizuka's rhetoric.

Whether in his previous life or this life, I'm afraid that Tachibana Shizuka would never be able to change himself in a few words to make people cry.

If he has this ability, he should teach people on the Internet. Wouldn't that be much more comfortable than traveling through time and space and exercising every day?
Hanai Akiko's compromise was the result of her own weighing of the pros and cons. Was her purpose in kidnapping Takei Naoko for the 5 million yen ransom?
not really.

Hanai Akiko was one of the victims of President Takei's many acquisitions. Her father, disheartened by President Takei's forced takeover of his company, left with his wife and son on the road.

At that time, Akiko Hanai escaped the disaster because she was in college.

Since then, Hanai Akiko was adopted by relatives of the family. After graduation, she changed her name and joined President Takei's company and successfully became President Takei's secretary.

The revenge plan was originally going smoothly, but after Hanai Akiko became President Takei's secretary, she met Takei Naoko.

The fate between people is sometimes so magical. Takei Naoko and Hanai Akiko hit it off at first sight, and she likes Hanai Akiko as her "sister" very much.

In the process of getting along with Takei Naoko, Hanai Akiko cannot be said to love President Takei so much, but deep down in her heart she does not really want to kill him.

But revenge for her parents must be taken, so Hanai Akiko designed an "open-book exam" for President Takei.

As long as President Takei can pay a ransom of 5 million yen for Takei Naoko, she is willing to give up her revenge plan and make the ending of the story a happy ending for the whole family.

Unfortunately, President Takei's trick of using newspapers to deceive people still angered Hanai Akiko. It was President Takei's behavior that made her realize that there are people in this world who value money more than their own daughter.

It also made her understand that some people in this world are not worthy of forgiveness.

Akiko Hanai is ready to give President Takei one last chance. If he still doesn't change his mind, she is ready to let President Takei take his "5 million yen" with him.

The plan was only halfway through, with the other half still to be implemented. Hanai Akiko was naturally unwilling to be interrupted like this.

After hearing Tachibana Shizuka promise that he would only ensure Takei Naoko's safety and not interfere with her next actions, Hanai Akiko made a decision.

"Are you serious? As long as I make sure Naoko is safe, you won't interfere with my next plan?"

"Of course, Sonoko, you know him, right? He's the biggest capitalist in Tokyo. President Takei only paid us to rescue Takei-san. He only does what he's paid for. That's the last bit of conscience a capitalist has."

Tachibana Shizuka made a solemn promise, and he had no intention of breaking it. Besides, with Conan following the investigation, Tachibana Shizuka didn't believe Conan would be fooled by Hanai Akiko.

Besides, Tachibana Shizuka couldn't stand President Takei's behavior, so there was nothing wrong in letting him suffer a little.

"Okay, come with me." Hanai Akiko opened the closet, put on her coat, and walked towards the garage of the villa with Tachibana Shizuka and the others.

After starting the car, we drove towards the edge of the Beika-cho district.

After driving for about half an hour, Hanai Akiko and her team arrived at an industrial area filled with factories, some still in operation and some abandoned.

There is no way. Due to the economic downturn, many factories are unable to make ends meet and have to declare bankruptcy.

Tachibana Shizuka could understand Hanai Akiko's hatred for President Takei. Life in this world was already difficult, and Hanai Akiko's father was working hard to maintain his company.

Natural disasters can be weathered, but man-made disasters are truly beyond your reach. Having half a lifetime's worth of hard work go down the drain is a blow not many people can handle.

Furthermore, in Japan, once you're bankrupt, it's incredibly difficult to recover. It's no exaggeration to say you'll never make a comeback. "Naoko is hidden here. I've provided her with food and water, and I haven't restricted her personal freedom."

Akiko Hanai parked the car in front of an abandoned factory building on the edge of the industrial park. After getting out of the car, she said to Shizuka Tachibana with a complicated expression.

"Are you saying that Takei-san knows your plan?"

"Naoko is very smart. She really didn't understand at first, but gradually she figured out my plan pretty well."

Hanai Akiko didn't know what she was feeling right now. Takei Naoko trusted her so much and was even willing to cooperate with her in doing this kind of thing.

She was ready to kill her father.
"Come on, let's go in. We can talk later if we have anything to say." Tachibana Shizuka was in no position to comment on such matters. He just hoped that they wouldn't regret it in the future.

The three of them walked through the empty factory building until they reached the third floor. At the back of the third floor was the former director's lounge, complete with a bed, a table, and a sofa. Takei Naoko was placed there by Hanai Akiko.

"Naoko's room is in front." In the dim corridor, Hanai Akiko pointed to the place where the light source came from.

Looking at the door in front of him with light coming out, Tachibana Shizuka felt something was not right.

Naoko Takei is just a quiet and introverted high school girl. Logically, although Akiko Hanai did not restrict her freedom, in such an empty factory area, shouldn't a normal person close his or her door tightly, or even lock it from the inside?

Tachibana Shizuka looked at the light source in front of him and felt that it seemed to be half-hidden.

He was secretly on guard at this time, one step behind Hanai Akiko, and his left hand was subconsciously on his waist to ensure that he could draw his gun and shoot in the first time in case of any emergency.

“Naoko, Naoko—

Your classmates are here to see you." Hanai Akiko said with a smile as she pushed open the door to the lounge.

The half-open door of the lounge was slowly pushed open, revealing the mess inside.

"Naoko? Naoko!" Hanai Akiko was shocked and immediately rushed into the lounge to look for the non-existent Takei Naoko.

Just as Hanai Akiko was about to rush in, Tachibana Shizuo grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He then blocked the door to the lounge and yelled at her, "Calm down!"

"It seems that your flawless plan has encountered some unexpected problems. This is most likely the scene of the incident.

If you still want to get Takei Naoko back, then calm down and don't bother me."

Tachibana Shizuka pushed Hanai Akiko to Sonoko's side and winked. Sonoko understood and grabbed Hanai Akiko's arm to prevent the excited Hanai Akiko from "making trouble".

This is the tacit understanding among the members of the "Teitan Jungle Team".

After settling Hanai Akiko down, Tachibana Shizuka activated his insight moment and began to carefully survey the lounge.

If nothing unexpected happens, Takei Naoko should have been settled down by Hanai Akiko shortly before being abducted by the yellow bird.

In other words, in addition to the "kidnapper" Akiko Hanai, there is actually another expert who has his eyes on Naoko Takei.
