Chapter 696 Kidnapped Ran [Adding more for Patron Happy Sword]
“There are traces on the wall where fabric has wiped it. Judging by the height, it's about the same as Ran's back and shoulders,” Chi Feichei said, not stepping forward. He took out a flashlight and placed it on the ground. “There’s a strand of Black Hair in the Wall Corner, and…”
Without him saying it, the others also saw it.
Because this place was sheltered from the wind, in a shady spot facing away from the Sun, and rarely visited, the ground was covered with a thin layer of Dust. When the flashlight was placed on the flat ground and shone outwards, a human trace could be vaguely seen on the ground.
Chi Feichei stopped Mori Kogoro because he was worried that Mori Kogoro would rush over and destroy the traces on the ground.
“It looks like a long-haired female, and her height is about the same as Sister Ran,” Haibara Ai looked at the backpack in front of the human shape. “That should be her backpack, which also fell to the ground. It looks like after she ran here, she was facing the Wall, but was caught up, knocked to the ground… Judging by the traces here, there was no violent resistance. It should be someone who sneak attacked her from behind.”
“Correct, there are people in front, and behind… behind too,” Conan didn't step forward, frowning as he stared at the traces on the ground. However, because the layer of Dust was really thin, he couldn't see the footprints clearly, or even how many people there were. Moreover, due to the mess, he couldn't judge where Mouri Ran was moved to afterwards, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, “Damn it!”
“I can’t tell at all where those people took Sister Ran…” Ayumi also looked at the slight traces on the ground, trying hard to find some other Clue.
Mitsuhiko looked forward worriedly, “And further ahead, there should be many people passing by on weekdays, and there are also traces of cleaning. It’s impossible to find people based on the subtle traces left on the Dust.”
Chi Feichei looked at Mori Kogoro, “Report to Police first.”
“I know!” Mori Kogoro calmed down a bit, nodded with a serious face, and took out his Mobile Phone.
As Mouri Ran's Father, it was more appropriate for him to Report to Police.
While Mori Kogoro was making an Emergency Call, Chi Feichei felt his Mobile Phone vibrate. He took it out, glanced at it, and immediately answered and turned on the Speakerphone.
At the same time, he also took Mori Kogoro's Phone Call.
“Hello, someone has been kidnapped here, please remain Silence and Record.”
The Police on the other end: “???”
What’s the Situation?
In the next second, Mouri Ran’s voice had already come from Chi Feichei’s Mobile Phone, “Fei, Brother Hissashi?”
“Ran,” Mori Kogoro asked excitedly, “Where are you now? Answer me quickly!”
Mouri Ran’s voice was a little weak, “I seem to have been kidnapped…”
“Teacher, if you can’t calm down, please go aside and calm down,” Chi Feichei reminded, and asked, “Ran, you can Call, which means the Kidnapper is not Beside you, right? Try to describe your current Situation and the Environment you are in.”
Mori Kogoro looked at Chi Feichei’s calm face, speechless. He almost forgot that this apprentice of his was an extremely calm pervert, and now he really needed to calm down a bit.
“I’m fine, I was just knocked unconscious from behind before, and my head is still a little dizzy. Now my hands and feet are tied up, but I can stand up,” Mouri Ran described intermittently, “It’s a bit dim here, and I can’t see a single Figure. It seems to be a Changing Room. I saw several rows of Lockers for storing Clothes…”
“Tell me about the Dust situation on the ground, whether the Lockers are new or old, and whether the Lockers have rust,” Chi Feichei added.
“There is a thick layer of Dust on the ground. The Lockers also look very old, but there are no traces of rust,” Mouri Ran said.
Conan had already taken out his Detective Manual and was seriously lowering his head to Record the Clue.
The other members of the Junior Detective League were also the same.
“Are there any Windows? Can you see Outside?” Chi Feichei said, “If you can see, tell me what’s Outside, and try to describe what you see.”
“There are Windows, please wait a moment…”
Crackling and rustling sounds came from the other end. Considering that Mouri Ran’s hands were tied up, Chi Feichei guessed that Mouri Ran should have used her mouth to bite the Mobile Phone and move it to the Window Side.
“There are obstructions on the Window?”
Otherwise, Mouri Ran only needs to look up or stand up to look, or walk over to look, and there is no need to get up while biting the Mobile Phone.
In addition, Mouri Ran said that the Light was dim, which should mean that there were obstructions on the Window.
“Uh, uh-huh…”
Mouri Ran was indeed biting the Mobile Phone, and responded vaguely. After a while, she continued, “The Window has Venetian Blind, and it has been lowered. Outside… a lot of Sunflower are blooming, a large area. At the End of this Sunflower field, there is a seemingly abandoned Building with a Signboard on it…”
“What’s on the Signboard?” Chi Feichei asked.
“This… Hiruko Town,” Mouri Ran lowered her voice and said, “Hiruko is the Hiruko of Leech, and ko is Child.”
Chi Feichei, “You can see very far? Are you on the Second Floor or above?”
Mouri Ran, “It should be on the Second Floor.”
Chi Feichei, “Are the Sunflower leaning to one side?”
Mouri Ran, “Not very obvious, but it seems that they are all leaning to the right towards my Direction.”
Chi Feichei, “The people who knocked you unconscious and kidnapped you are the two Men at the Next Door Table?”
“Yes,” Mouri Ran said quickly, “They are also the ones who sent a Text Message to Sonoko yesterday saying that they picked up that Mobile Phone… By the Way! Brother Hissashi, listen to me, I just heard them say that they are going to kill someone today…”
“Click! Beep… Beep…”
The Phone Call was suddenly hung up.
“Hu… Hung up!” Mori Kogoro had just shown a panicked expression when Chi Feichei glanced at him calmly. He felt a chill in his Heart, and his Brain suddenly calmed down a lot. Seeing that the Mobile Phone he had used to Call the Police was still connected, he quickly explained the Situation to the Police, “Hello, are you still listening? Yes… the kidnapped person is my Daughter…”
Chi Feichei saw that there was no need to remind Mori Kogoro to do Serious Business again. He redialed the Phone Call and found that the prompt on the other end was that it was Offline. “It was probably discovered, and the Mobile Phone was smashed or broken by the Kidnapper.”
Conan’s Face turned pale, “……”
“Ai, Ayumi, go to the Hotel and get the Computer over, and check the Webpage Information about ‘Hiruko Town’ online,” Chi Feichei took out Cash and handed it to Mitsuhiko, “Mitsuhiko, Genta, go buy a Map, buy a few more copies, and bring all the Kumamoto Maps you can buy, whether it’s the entire City Area, the surrounding Area, or detailed area Maps. Act together, and no one is allowed to be alone.”
“Yes!” Mitsuhiko responded seriously, “Please rest assured and leave it to us!”
Haibara Ai looked at Ayumi, “Then we’ll go to the Hotel first.”
Chi Feichei looked at Conan, “Conan, use the Detective Badge to keep in touch with everyone.”
Conan couldn’t help but say, “Sister Ran was kidnapped, probably because of the owner of that Mobile Phone. I think the other party is Unlikely to Take Action against the rest of us…”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry.” Chi Feichei said.
Unlikely, but Possible.
Who asked him not to remember this Plot? Then he had to be more cautious.
Conan was speechless, nodded, and said that he would do so.
“Brother Hichiji, what about me?” Suzuki Sonoko saw that everyone had something to do, and only she was left. She was anxious and sad, and wiped away her Tears, “It’s all my fault, I had to pick up that Mobile Phone, read other people’s Emails, and drag Ran to Come Over, which caused Ran to be kidnapped…”
“Borrow Money from your Old Dad,” Chi Feichei said, “Prepare the Ransom. Although it may Not Necessarily be used, if we prepare in Advance, when the Kidnapper proposes to ask for Ransom, we can save the Time to Raise Money.”
This Matter was indeed caused by Suzuki Sonoko, so it was right for her good Friend to prepare some Ransom.
Suzuki Sonoko had no Money, but Suzuki Sonoko’s Old Dad was rich.
“Okay!” Suzuki Sonoko immediately took out her Mobile Phone and walked Aside to Call her Old Dad.
Mori Kogoro explained the Situation to the Police, worried that the other party would think that the disappearance Time was too short and think they were playing a Prank, so he also made a Phone Call to Inspector Megure, asking Inspector Megure to Help Say a word to the Kumamoto City Police.
More than twenty minutes later, a Group of People arrived at the Kumamoto City Police Station.
The Police Specially vacated a Lounge for a Group of People to sit down and Rest first.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were carefully looking for the place name ‘Hiruko Town’ in a pile of Maps.
Haibara Ai sat Aside and checked Data on the Computer.
Chi Feichei also looked at a Map, took out a Pen and drew a circle on the Map, “Conan, go find the Landline Phone registration book for this Area. Ayumi, Help me get the detailed Map of this Area.”
From Mouri Ran’s disappearance to making a Phone Call, it was about 40 minutes.
It was impossible for the other party to leave holding an unconscious High School Student, which would be too eye-catching. They would definitely use a Car as a means of transportation.
Taking that Coffee Shop as the center Point, and calculating the fastest driving Speed, the Location where Mouri Ran was located could not be out of this range anyway.
Conan glanced at it and understood what Chi Feichei was calculating. He jumped off the Chair, “I Understand! There is a Phone Book in the Public Phone Booth Outside the Police Station. I’ll go get it now.”
Suzuki Sonoko found that her Mobile Phone was ringing, and also answered the Phone Call, “Hello, Father… Yes, Cash… Okay…”
“Brother Chi, the Map you want!” Ayumi flipped out the detailed Map of that Area and handed it to Chi Feichei.
Two Police Officers entered the Door and saw the scene in the Lounge where people were making Phone Calls, flipping through Maps, and using Computers. It was a lively scene. The people inside could not see the slightest unease and panic of Friends or Family being kidnapped. They couldn't help but suspect that they had entered the wrong Door.
Of course, it was impossible to enter the wrong Door.
The Police Officer who was wearing a brown Suit like Inspector Megure coughed lightly, and found that only Mori Kogoro looked over. The others just raised their heads and glanced at him, and then continued to busy themselves. What was even more excessive was the Young Man in Black Clothes sitting at the End of the long Table, who didn’t even give him a Glance.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, I am Police Inspector Tamana from the Kumamoto Prefectural Police Department,” Police Inspector Tamana considered that a Kidnapping Incident had already occurred, and did not think about those strange people. He found that he seemed to have done a Self-introduction to the air, and still only Mori Kogoro was looking at him. He introduced the person Beside him speechlessly, “This is Patrol Sergeant Kato.”
“Hello everyone!” Patrol Sergeant Kato bowed to everyone.
Chi Feichei was still drawing circles and crosses on the detailed Map, without raising his head.
Haibara Ai stared at the Computer, the three Children stared at the Map, and Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly said ‘I know’, and looked at the two Police Officers after hanging up the Phone Call.
Police Inspector Tamana was even more speechless. Okay, at least there was one more person paying attention to him.
“Sorry for the Troublesome,” Mori Kogoro felt that his Task was only ‘dealing with the Police’, and he was also seriously responsible for his Portion. He stood up and said, “My name is Mori Kogoro, sorry for neglecting the two of you, but they also want to find Clue as soon as possible, and have been busy…”
