Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 97: It’s all about making money, isn’t it?

As soon as Takei Katsuhiko finished speaking, the call fell into a brief silence. The kidnappers on the other end did not expect Takei Katsuhiko to be so bold.

Dude, do you understand? Your daughter is the one who was kidnapped, okay?

The tone you use now sounds as if you are the kidnapper. How can this be considered an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Gang?
"Asshole, what did you just say?"

The kidnapper's questioning was met with Takei Katsuhiko's confident response: "I say, I don't agree with your method of exchange!

What if you don't keep your word and I give you the money but you don't let me go? What if you receive the money and ask me for more money?
What if you guys kill me right after hanging up the phone?"

Katsuhiko Takei asked three questions in quick succession, then glanced at the notebook Tachibana Seiji handed over and nodded, "You have to understand that you are all a bunch of vicious kidnappers. Kidnappers have no credibility with me.

I don’t believe you at all!”

"Hey! Katsuhiko Takei, don't you want your daughter's life?" The electronic voice was not led by Katsuhiko Takei and threatened directly.

“Of course I want my daughter’s life, but I will never gamble my daughter’s life on your reputation!

You're not the first to kidnap my daughter. You can ask around. Before you, someone asked for a ransom. What did I do?

After saying this, Katsuhiko Takei hung up the phone even faster than the kidnapper.

After the call ended, Tachibana Seiji gave Takei Katsuhiko a thumbs-up: "Well done, President Takei. Look, we're working together really well, aren't we?"

As expected, the performance is about playing one's true self. This kind of miserly image is easy for Katsuhiko Takei to handle.

I guess the kidnapper on the opposite side is also confused at this moment, not knowing what kind of player he is facing.

In the Mihua Port warehouse area, in a remote warehouse, a plump middle-aged man put down his mobile phone in confusion, and then looked at his three accomplices around him.

"Did you hear what that guy just said? Why do I feel like he doesn't care much about his daughter?"

The round middle-aged man was very confused, and he looked at Miyano Akemi with a curious look.

It's not quite accurate to say that Miyano Akemi is the leader of this group of people. To be more precise, Miyano Akemi is the organizer of this group of people.

These people were recruited by Akemi Miyano - their original target was the Beika Siling Bank.

But just before the operation was about to begin, Akemi Miyano canceled it. According to Akemi Miyano, something serious happened at the bank, so the operation was canceled temporarily. She would look for another target.

Takei Naoko is their current target.

Miyano Akemi's heart skipped a beat at this moment, and she realized that there was clearly a problem with the winery's intelligence.

But she couldn't show any panic now. If these guys saw her "weakness", it would be hard to say what would happen next.

How high can the moral bottom line be for a group of scum who are determined to rob a bank? There are not so many chivalrous thieves in this world.

"Don't panic, this is just that guy's one-sided story. You all agreed to choose this little girl as your target, right?

Don't let Takei Katsuhiko's words throw you off balance! I'm going to ask someone about what that guy just said.

The rest will be discussed after I come back!"

"Besides, aren't we already halfway there? As long as we get her ransom, even if the process is a little difficult, it's worth it." Miyano Akemi's words reassured the three accomplices. They all agreed that Miyano Akemi was right.

The kidnapping of Takei Naoko was so smooth that none of them could believe it. The kidnapping target had actually come to such a secluded and deserted abandoned factory on their own, so they didn't even worry about anyone witnessing their crime when they took action.

It's just a minor difficulty, and it can be overcome! Besides, isn't this much easier than robbing a bank?
Seeing that Miyano Akemi or Hirota Masami was still confident, the other three accomplices seemed to have found their backbone and calmed down one by one.

Akemi Miyano came out of the warehouse, took a few deep breaths, and then called Gin.

After the difficult first time he'd taken the initiative to call Gin, it didn't seem like a big deal. Gin couldn't shoot Miyano Akemi over the phone, could he?

"Miyano Akemi, don't tell me you lost your gun again." If Conan is the disaster star of Beika Town, then in Gin's eyes, Miyano Akemi is the plague god of the winery.

There is no doubt about this.

"It's not that the gun was lost, it's that there's a problem with the intelligence the organization gave me. Your designated target, Katsuhiko Takei, has a daughter who's already been kidnapped.

I need to know the details of this matter, otherwise we will be too passive when facing Takei Katsuhiko."

"Hmm?" As expected, Miyano Akemi always brings him different surprises every time. What kind of person has the same idea as Gin?
There is no doubt that Gin is the mastermind behind Miyano Akemi's kidnapping of Takei Naoko and demanding a ransom.

The appearance of Kiichiro Numabuchi completely shattered the rumor that the FBI had returned to Tokyo, so Akemi Miyano was no longer a bait that Gin had to keep alive.

The plan to beat up Shirley continued, but because of the last bank robbery that ended in failure, Gin gave Miyano Akemi a new task.

Robbing a bank doesn't seem to be incompatible with Akemi Miyano's personality, so let's switch to kidnapping. After all, they're all just an organization looking for money, so how can they do it?

Gin didn't expect that just an ordinary kidnapping would cause such trouble to Miyano Akemi.

"Wait, I'll go ask." Gin always kills people without knowing the truth. Now that Miyano Akemi said that there was a problem with the organization's intelligence, he naturally would not say anything bad to this woman.

On the contrary, if the organization's mission really went wrong, it would be bad for Gin. He usually relied on the organization's intelligence during his missions, and if the intelligence was wrong, it would be very distressing.

Has Rum been so lazy lately?

Gin called Rum and told him the situation. Naturally, Rum would reprimand the people one level down.

The pressure from above was obvious, and soon the situation regarding the Takei incident was sent to Gin first.

After seeing the "gossip version" widely circulated within the Metropolitan Police Department, Gin was speechless for once.

What the hell is this Katsuhiko Takei like? No wonder he dares to owe him money! This grandson really only cares about money and not his life, nor does he care about family affection.

Gin suddenly became skeptical about whether Akemi Miyano could bring back the ransom - but what does this have to do with him?

The mission was assigned to Miyano Akemi. If she failed to complete it, she would die. If she completed it, she would also die. So it didn't matter whether Miyano Akemi could complete the mission or not.

It is right to use Miyano Akemi's death to increase the intensity of Shirley.

After forwarding the file sent by his subordinate to Miyano Akemi with one click, Gin called Miyano Akemi:
"The details have been sent to you. You can handle it on your own. Remember, if the mission fails, you and your sister will not be able to leave the organization."
