Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

Without any hesitation, Kogoro Mouri opened the car door of Kurokawasaki Tsuki and got in.

"Black, men in black? Could it be them!" Conan's expression changed, and he immediately climbed back into the car.

Kurokawa Saki watched speechlessly as the two, one big and one small, crawled into his car.

Xiaolan apologized to him, feeling embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Kurokawa-nii, my dad..."

Kurokawa Saki stopped her abruptly, smiling and saying, "It's alright, let's go together then. I also want to see Uncle Mori solve the case."

He and Xiaolan got back into the car.

"Then, let's go!" Kogoro Mouri said boldly, pointing with his large hand.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki's lips twitched.

"The crime is calling for me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, again! Hahahaha."

Kogoro Mouri burst out laughing, then realized someone was watching him.

He turned around and saw Xiaolan and a child looking at him with disdain.

"Where did this child come from? Kurokawa-kun, is he your kid?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki's lips twitched again.

"She's Professor Agasa's relative's child."

Xiao Lan quickly explained.

"Then you'd better keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't interfere with my work."

.........

The group soon arrived at a large house.

The owner of the house, who was also the client in this case, began to explain the case to Kogoro Mouri.

“My daughter’s name is Tani Akiko, she is ten years old this year, and my butler Aso has seen the prisoner with his own eyes.”

After saying that, he even took out a photo of Gu Jingzi and gave it to him.

Kogoro Mouri took the photo and started looking at it.

Conan was bouncing around at his feet.

"Damn it, I can't see anything at all. It's so inconvenient to be so small."

He thought to himself, and then he realized he had grown taller.

Looking back, he saw that it was Kurokawasaki Tsuki who had lifted him up and was looking at him with a smile.

"You really want to see it, don't you? This little girl is very cute. Maybe you'll even like Conan."

Conan was embarrassed, but still thanked him in a cute voice.

"Thank you, Kurokawa-nii."

After saying that, he stared intently at the photo.

After looking at the photos, Kogoro Mouri asked the butler for some more information.

Conan was also listening intently to the clues.

Kogoro Mouri initially judged that it was done by people from a rival company.

Conan started playing with a soccer ball on the ground, juggling it while deep in thought.

"Conan, you're pretty good at soccer."

Kurokawa Saki kept staring at Conan.

Ran looked over upon hearing this, "He looks just like Shinichi. He often plays soccer when he's thinking."

Conan paused for a moment, then accidentally juggled the ball away.

He was about to go and retrieve the ball when he found it had been kicked back.

"Ah?"

Immediately afterward, a rustling sound came from the bushes, and a dark figure leaped out and tackled him to the ground.

Everyone in the courtyard was startled, except for Kurokawa Saki.

He just watched quietly as the dog pinned Conan down.

Isn't this my dog, Dahuang?

At this moment, Big Yellow also noticed Kurokawasaki Tsuki and quickly got off Conan, running towards Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

It braked suddenly and stopped in front of him, then rubbed its head against him forcefully.

Ran helped Conan up from the ground and then looked him over to check if he was injured.

"Are you OK?"

Feeling a little embarrassed by Ran's constant touching, Conan quickly pushed Ran away, saying, "I'm fine."

Butler Aso also came over and explained, "This is our Jumbo's dog friend. Jumbo is the name of the dog that the master keeps. I'm sorry, I startled you."

"Its name is Dahuang, and it's my dog. I knew it liked to go out and play by itself, but I didn't expect it to come here. Sorry for bothering you."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki stroked the big yellow dog's head and explained to them.

At this moment, the giant also poked its head out from the bushes, tilting its head and looking at the group of people in front of it with a puzzled expression.

Xiaolan recognized Dahuang; it was indeed the dog she had encountered on the road that day. She came over and petted Dahuang.

Big Yellow also tucked its ears in, letting Little Lan's hands do whatever they wanted on its head.

After the brief incident, the group continued discussing the case.

Big Yellow quietly squatted down next to Black Kawasaki Tsuki.

Conan quickly noticed the blind spot, because the butler had just mentioned that their dog would bark at strangers, but when the butler saw the murderer leave from the tree in front of the doghouse, the dog did not bark.

Conan quickly reminded Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby.

Kogoro Mouri also reacted very quickly, which was unusual for him.

"So you're lying? Butler Aso, there was no man in black at all. It was all a kidnapping you staged yourself, Mr. Aso."

Everyone realized what was happening.

"Aso, you bastard!" the client roared in fury.

Butler Aso immediately sat down and explained what had happened and Tani Akiko's current location.

Just as Kogoro Mouri was feeling smug about finding the real culprit, the housekeeper rushed out with the phone in a panic and said nervously, "Master, there's a call for you!"

Tell him I'm busy and I'll call him back later.

"But, but..."

Hearing the housekeeper stammering, the master simply took the phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Are you prepared with 300 million yen?"

Upon hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, everyone was shocked.

At this moment, Butler Aso hurriedly explained, "I have no accomplices, it really wasn't me, I'm telling the truth!"

Kogoro Mouri whispered in the old man's ear, "Take the conversation a little longer and find out his location."

But the kidnappers on the other side heard everything clearly.

Who's next to you? A police officer?

"No, no..."

"Get the 300 million yen ready right away, or I can't guarantee what I'll do to your daughter."

At that moment, Gu Jingzi shouted with all her might on the other end of the phone, "Dad! It's the school's warehouse. You can see a huge chimney from the window, oh no!"

The kidnapper covered Gu Jingzi's mouth.

“I will call again in an hour, and you must have the money ready by then.”

After saying that, the kidnapper hung up the phone.

Kogoro Mouri pondered the location and instructed his master to prepare cash for any eventuality.

Conan had already started looking at the map. He quickly narrowed down the area and even gave Kogoro Mouri a hint that the kidnappers with the girl wouldn't have gone very far.

The scope has been narrowed down, but further investigation is still needed.

Without hesitation, Conan, before anyone could react, quickly untied the giant dog's leash, climbed onto the dog, and rode off into the distance.

So you're using the horseback riding skills you learned in Hawaii on dogs?

"Conan, where are you going!" Ran called out to the backs of the man and the dog.

Kogoro Mouri also realized what was happening.

"Ran, Kurokawa, let's catch up with that dog!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri ran out to eat Conan's exhaust fumes.

Xiaolan was about to follow when she found that Kurokawa Saki was still standing there, and even Dahuang was still quietly squatting beside her. She stopped in her tracks.

"Kurokawa-kun, aren't you going to follow them?"

Kurokawa Saki smiled slightly.

"Actually, there is an even better way."

"A better way?"

Xiaolan raised a question.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Riding a Dog with Ripped Pants

Kurokawasaki Tsuki glanced at the big yellow dog beside him.

He had trained Dahuang in various abilities beforehand, preparing it for a single moment.

He asked the butler to bring Gu Jingzi's clothes for Da Huang to smell.

Ran also understood what Kurokawasaki Tsuki meant by the method.

Soon, Dahuang took action.

He called out twice towards the door, signaling Kurokawasaki Tsuki to follow.

"let's go."

"Ok!"

Big Yellow ran ahead, stopping and starting, occasionally pausing to sniff and distinguish the various smells in the air.

Before long, Big Yellow arrived outside a warehouse. It sniffed around carefully and finally decided to bark at the warehouse a few times.

The shouts successfully alerted the kidnappers inside.

The kidnapper, knife in hand, cautiously crouched by the door, peering out through the half-open door.

However, he didn't see anything until he looked down and found a four-eyed, gold-plated mongrel dog sniffing him with its nose at his feet.

"Where did this stinky dog ​​come from?"

Enraged, the kidnapper kicked the dog in the back.

The dog, still intently sniffing the aroma, got kicked.

Then it turned and left without looking back, running to a young man not far away, whimpering at his feet as if it had suffered a great injustice.

The person who arrived was none other than Kurokawa Sakizuki.

He looked up at the kidnappers at the warehouse entrance, a smile playing on his lips.

"Got you!"

The kidnappers looked terrified.

"who are you?!"
