Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 98 Sato's Rejection

Ignoring Gin's final, deceptive remarks, Miyano Akemi receives the file on her phone. As the saying goes, if you fail your mission, you can't leave the organization.
In fact, she is not sure whether she can really leave the organization if the mission is successful.

It was nothing more than a desperate struggle, a struggle in shackles in someone's hands.

Only after Akemi Miyano had read through all the information did she return to the warehouse.

"What's up, Hirota? What's going on with this Katsuhiko Takei?"

"It's too late! This little girl has already been kidnapped once! And the original date for the hostage exchange is today."

"But." The plump middle-aged man subconsciously looked at Takei Naoko in the corner of the warehouse. The hostage is in their hands now. What can their colleague use in exchange?

Getting something for nothing?

The others suddenly understood Katsuhiko Takei's toughness. He spent 5 million yen, but his daughter ended up in the hands of another group of robbers. No one could accept this.

So can they still get the ransom?
If they were in this situation, they would definitely think carefully before taking the money. It's not that they don't want their daughter back, but they're afraid that after giving the money this time, their daughter will be passed on to a third group of kidnappers.

Who wants to be an ATM without a password? Even if you are a dog who is devoted to the goddess, don’t you have to listen to some nice words when your gold coins are exploded?
Is their kidnapping plan going to fail halfway?
Fortunately, Miyano Akemi did not disappoint her accomplices: "I also found out another thing. Katsuhiko Takei used old newspapers when he delivered the ransom to the kidnappers this afternoon.

That is to say, although our 'predecessor' lost the hostage, he did not get the ransom.

Katsuhiko Takei still has the money, but it might be a little more troublesome to collect the ransom."

The application of the Broken Window Effect has never been limited to China and foreign countries. As soon as they heard that Takei Katsuhiko still had money, Miyano Akemi's friends suddenly felt that the idea of ​​exchanging knowledge was not out of the question.

After all, they really came here to make money, not to kill people.

Naoko Takei didn't see their faces, and as long as Katsuhiko Takei gave the money honestly, they didn't mind reuniting the father and daughter.

But it was difficult to say this, so the three accomplices turned their eyes to Miyano Akemi, their nominal "leader".

“My opinion is very simple, everyone is here for the money, there is no need to bear other sins.

Contact Katsuhiko Takei later and agree to some reasonable demands. Get the money as soon as possible in the evening and move it quickly. By the way, when you get the ransom, remember to check carefully to see if there are any old newspapers inside.

Then, when the hype has died down, everyone will divide the money. At that time, everyone can decide whether to continue with the next project or disband on the spot.

how is it? "

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Yes, we all agree."

"Big Sister Guangtian is still the most reliable!"

There was a flood of flattery at the time, and even if you used your butt to think about it, I guess few of these words were sincere.

In the corner, Naoko Takei's mouth was blocked and her eyes were covered, but she could still hear the conversation inside the warehouse.

Somehow, she felt the atmosphere between the kidnappers was a little too humorous. Could kidnapping really be such a humorous thing? As for their claim that Katsuhiko Takei had used newspapers to trick Miss Hanai, she had almost guessed her father would do the same thing the moment she learned of Miss Hanai's plan.

No one knows a father better than his daughter. How could Takei Naoko not know what kind of person her father is?
Wuju residence.
"No, I absolutely disagree with this!" Sato Miwako stood in front of Tachibana Shizuka and glared at the high school student.

"Do you have any other good ideas, Officer Sato?" Tachibana Shizuka looked up helplessly at Sato Miwako.

"Those kidnappers aren't fools. If an adult were following the car, they would definitely be alert. Only if I followed the car would they not be suspicious."

"It's not a question of whether you have doubts or not! It's that as a high school student, you shouldn't get involved in such a dangerous action." Sato Miwako seemed to have received instruction from the void. When she found that she couldn't convince Tachibana Shizuka with facts and reason, she began to talk about attitude and principles.

In principle, how could a high school student like Tachibana Shizuka be allowed to participate in the police's arrest/rescue operation?
"Isn't this all thanks to my good classmate, Shinichi Kudo, who I've never met, who started this?
His article "The Japanese Police's Savior" is still in the newspapers, and since I'm not in the spotlight, what's wrong with me giving him some money?

Tachibana Shizuka was still very good at making people angry. As soon as he said this, he clearly noticed that Sato Miwako's nostrils became bigger and her already clenched fists tightened.

It has been verified that Kudo Shinichi's reputation within the Metropolitan Police Department is really not good.

"How can it be the same? The cases that Kudo Shinichi participated in before were not dangerous at all, at most there were murders. Now you have to face the kidnappers directly. What if the situation gets out of control and they attack you?

You don’t know what weapons they’ll have!”

Thanks to the current situation of widespread gun proliferation in Beika Town, although not everyone in Beika Town has a gun, it is not difficult to get one.

Besides, since he had already come out to kidnap, how could he not have weapons in his hands? If he didn't tell anyone, he would be ridiculed by his peers.

"Then how about this, you get me a bulletproof vest so I can protect myself." Tachibana Shizuka pulled Sato Miwako aside and whispered.

"What self-defense methods do you have?" Sato Miwako's face grew even more furious. "They have guns in their hands. What self-defense methods can you use that are faster than bullets?"

"Tsk, I'm not as fast as a bullet, but I can shoot faster than they can, right?"

"What do you mean?" Sato Miwako was a little confused, and then she saw Tachibana Shizuka lift up his coat to reveal the Shadow 2 Orange around his waist.

"How did you get a gun?" Sato Miwako's voice remained as loud as usual when she said "how did you?", but she subconsciously lowered her voice when she mentioned the gun. The anxiety on her face was also beyond words.

Illegal possession of a gun is no minor offense in Japan. After all, although guns are not banned in Japan, they are strictly controlled.

Most gun licenses that can be approved are for hunting rifles and air rifles. Even these require annual inspections.

Now Tachibana Shizuka has a semi-automatic pistol on his waist, and Sato Miwako wants to pull him out and ask him if he knows the seriousness of the situation.

"Don't worry, Officer Sato, this is legal. Here, this is my gun license, a proper gun license.

Besides, I’m an adult.”

Shizuka Tachibana handed his gun license to Miwako Sato for inspection, and then said that he had become an adult overnight.
