Conan Rick's Investigator

"come quickly……"

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone again.

Hearing the call being hung up, an angry Kudo Shinichi punched the center console in front of him.

hateful!

The heart-wrenching scream of Ran Mouri just now made Kudo Shinichi lose his composure in an instant.

Now he really wanted to kick the football into the kidnapper's face.

It’s a pity that after his body grew bigger, the Conan version of the foot-strengthening shoes invented by Dr. Agasa could no longer fit on his normal feet.

"Shinichi, what should we do now?" Dr. Agasa asked in a low voice.

Kudo Shinichi, who had regained his composure, also gave his answer.

"The only way now is to do what the other party says..."

Hearing this, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

If he follows the kidnappers' demands completely, Kudo Shinichi himself will become their hostage.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi continued to analyze: "We are not completely at a disadvantage now. As long as we have the high technology invented by the doctor..."

Soon, Kudo Shinichi took out all the equipment that Conan had changed his identity.

Among them, prisoner tracking glasses are the top priority.

However, this time the criminal tracking glasses are not tracking the criminal, but tracking Kudo Shinichi himself.

By wearing a signal transmitter and a pocket eavesdropping device, Shinichi Kudo can let Dr. Agasa and Kaito Kuroba in the car know the movements and conditions in real time.

Kudo Shinichi hid the two things on his body, got out of the car and went alone to the place requested by the kidnappers to meet him.

……

After passing through the town area of Salisbury, Kudo Shinichi came alone to the highway on the north side of the town.

I saw a black van parked on the side of the road at the entrance to the highway.

Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath and walked over there with a serious expression.

When he reached the back door of the van, he reached out and knocked.

The door opened immediately, revealing two men in brown windbreakers sitting on the seats on both sides of the van.

When Kudo Shinichi saw the faces of these two people, he was stunned.

Because judging from their faces, both of them are Asian.

The two men got out of the car and searched Kudo Shinichi.

This made Kudo Shinichi feel nervous.

Fortunately, the signal transmitter and button-shaped pocket eavesdropping device invented by Dr. Agasa are both cutting-edge scientific technologies. After a while of searching, the two did not find anything unusual.

"Get in the car."

After a body search, Kudo Shinichi was taken into the car.

When the car door is closed, the small ceiling light inside the car lights up, which is the only dim light source in the car.

Since he couldn't see what was happening outside, Kudo Shinichi could only feel the car starting slowly and getting faster and faster.

This made him secretly feel fortunate that he had Dr. Agasa's invention.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where I would be taken in this way.

He sat on a seat on the side of the van, looking at the two people opposite him. They didn't look like the kidnappers who made the phone call, but probably just his men running errands.

However, in order to get some information, he still asked, "Where is Xiaolan now?"

The person sitting opposite replied: "You will know when we get there..."

"Now, shut up."

As he spoke, the other party took out a pistol and placed it on his knees, pointing the gun at Kudo Shinichi.

This made Kudo Shinichi look heavy and he could only remain silent.

Now he can only hope that someone outside can track down his location.

At the same time, Dr. Agasa was driving a white car 5 kilometers behind the black van.

Since Dr. Agasa is nearsighted and cannot take off his glasses, the task of using the prisoner tracking glasses to indicate the direction is given to Kaito Kuroba.

In the passenger seat, Kuroba Kaito stared at the translucent light screen in front of him.

With the green dot in the middle as the center of the concentric circles, the small green dot moving in the northwest is the tracking target.

Judging from the distance marked on the coordinate system, the maximum tracking distance of this black technology is 20km.

This invention is amazing...

Kuroba Kaito secretly marveled in his heart, if this thing was installed on him when he was transformed into Kaito Kid and he didn't find it in time, he might be in real trouble.

After all, sometimes the place where I took the gems was quite close to Hei Yu's house.

The two followed the small green dot ahead from a distance.

During this period, in order to save the battery of the glasses, Kuroba Kaito would turn on the tracking function every ten minutes to confirm that the location had not been lost.

This tracking lasted for more than two hours before the green dot in front stopped moving.

Kuroba Kaito asked Professor Agasa to stop the car as well, while he reviewed the entire route in his mind.

Although the car drove for a long time, Kuroba Kaito discovered based on his extremely keen sense of direction that the car was not driving in a straight line.

Instead, it made a huge circle on the map.

Kuroba Kaito marked his current location on the map, which was actually 6 kilometers north of Salisbury.

At the same time, Kudo Shinichi also felt that the car stopped shaking.

The stuffy air and the peculiar smell of gasoline emanating from the car almost made him fall into a coma several times.

Fortunately, when the back door of the car was opened, a relatively sober smell diluted the odor.

"Get out of the car."

Kudo Shinichi got out of the car and found himself in a garage.

You still can't see outside from the garage, but with the help of the small chandelier on the ceiling, you can see some farm tools placed in the corner.

Although the farm tools do not look new, they are still in usable condition.

"Don't look around, just keep moving forward!"

The man in brown behind him pushed his shoulder, and Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to obey the other party's wishes and move forward.

From the garage into the house, he followed the two to a basement.

Under the cramped wooden stairs that smell musty is a relatively spacious basement space.

In the brightly lit area in the middle of the basement, Mao Lilan was tied to a chair with her hands behind her back.

“Hmph!”

There was a towel tied around Mao Lilan's mouth, and she could only issue warnings with the muffled groans coming from her throat.

But when Kudo Shinichi meets Mao Lilan, does he care about all these?

He rushed forward regardless of his own safety, but just when he was halfway there, a figure walked out from the darkness behind Mao Lilan with a pistol in his hand.

"Stand there. Don't move."

Kudo Shinichi was shocked and stopped quickly.

Only after the man completely walked out of the darkness did Kudo Shinichi see his face clearly.

Under the wide-brimmed hat is a ferocious face. Apart from the fierce eyes, the most iconic feature is probably the two mustaches on his mouth.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi standing opposite him, the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised and he let out a gloomy snort.

"Hehe... I finally see your true self."

"Kaitou Kidd."

After these words were spoken, Kudo Shinichi, who had originally planned to negotiate, was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

What is he saying?

You said I'm Kaito Kidd?

What an international joke!

Kudo Shinichi quickly opened his mouth to explain: "Is there something wrong? I am not Kaito Kidd!"

"I'm Kudou Shin'ichii!"

Ran Mao Li, who was tied to a chair, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her man's words.

Before Kudo Shinichi came, she had heard from this man more than once that his purpose was to force Kaito Kid to show up.

But what does forcing Kaito Kidd to show up have to do with Kudo Shinichi?

Shinichi can't possibly be Kaito Kid!

"Hmph..." The man snorted again, "Are you still pretending? Kaito Kidd..."

"This is indeed the most unexpected disguise. The true identity of the world-famous thief is actually a high school detective."

"As a reward for your repeated 'care' during this period, I decided to give you a bullet..."

As he spoke, the man suddenly pulled the trigger.

Pia——

A bullet shot out from the pitch-black muzzle and pierced Kudo Shinichi's right shoulder.

Kudo Shinichi endured the severe pain from the bullet and did not cry out, but he still knelt on one knee on the ground in agony.

He covered his shoulder with one hand, still struggling to hold on.

“Hmph!”

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan's pupils on the chair suddenly shrank and a sound came from the bottom of her throat.

At the same time, 5 kilometers away on the highway, Kuroba Kaito was eavesdropping on Kudo Shinichi's situation using criminal tracking glasses.

When he heard that Kudo Shinichi was mistaken for Kaito Kid, he was stunned.

what?

Am I a substitute?

Chapter 1316: The Eve of the Return of the Stars

Kaitou Kidd...

Isn't that me?

Kuroba Kaito asked with a puzzled look on his face.

However, the voice threatening Kudo Shinichi in the bug felt quite familiar to him.

He frowned slightly, and suddenly, a person came to his mind.

Snake!

Snake is one of the cadres of the zoo organization. Several times before, when he competed with me for the gems, it was Snake who took the lead.

But since the Las Vegas incident, I haven't seen Snake for a long time...

After knowing the other party's identity, Kuroba Kaito now completely understood why Kudo Shinichi was mistaken for Kaito Kid.

When I temporarily joined the Hopper Knights to perform at London's City Hall that day, the name I asked Judy Hopper to introduce and the name on my passport were both Kudo Shinichi.

I originally thought that not many people in the UK knew about Japanese high school detectives, but the zoo organization has a deep foundation in Japan, so it is not surprising that they know some famous local detectives.

At this moment, Dr. Agasa was also shocked when he heard a gunshot coming from the bug.

“Shoot?!”
