Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 14 Mr. Driver, are you a shrimp catcher too?!

Is there something wrong with this car?

Kitahara Natsuhiro turned to look at the van that had just driven past him, but didn't notice anything too wrong.

The only problem is that the van is black.

Generally speaking, few people would buy a black van because it is considered unlucky as it is used to transport the dead.

Of course, if you're part of a violent gang, then driving a black van is perfectly fine.

"It's nothing!" Akiko Yonehara shook her head and said, "I just saw a familiar figure when the van passed by, but I'm not sure if it was Akiko Tani! She just looked a bit like her!"

Gu Jingzi is a student at Beihu Elementary School and is currently in the fourth grade.

Although she wasn't one of Gu Jingzi's teachers, she had met her a few times and thus remembered her.

However, the van was going too fast, and she wasn't sure if the person inside was actually Gu Jingzi.

Tani Akiko?
This name sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

Ah! I remember now.

On the first night that Shinichi Kudo became Conan Edogawa, he rescued a kidnapped little girl while riding a dog!

And this person was none other than Tani Akiko.

So it was her!

and many more!

If this happened today, would Shinichi Kudo also become Conan Edogawa today?
Damn it! I didn't get to see any of the iconic scenes!

He originally wanted to witness a famous scene, but he had too much fun yesterday and forgot.

Besides, how could Shinichi Kudo be more important than a mature and sexy older sister!
At worst, I'll wait until Conan shrinks, then impersonate Gin, give him a bad cold, drink some baijiu, knock him out, and recreate the scene!
This is not difficult at all!
"What is the family background of this girl named Gu Jingzi?"

He remembered that Tani Akiko's family was quite wealthy; her father was the president of a company.

How could the company president's daughter possibly ride in a minivan, especially a black one?

Therefore, this van may not belong to Gu Jingzi's family, but to the criminals.

That explains why they drove a black van; since the ransom was going to be killed anyway, it was perfect for transporting the body.

"Family background? Why do you ask that?"

Akiko Yonehara didn't react for a moment.

“People from well-off families probably wouldn’t ride in a minivan, especially a black one!” Kitahara Natsuyu explained.

Upon hearing this, Akiko Yonehara's expression changed; she understood what Natsuhiro Kitahara meant.

"Jingzi's family owns a company! If that's the case, they certainly wouldn't drive a minivan. I remember it's usually their housekeeper who takes her to school, and she drives luxury cars, not minivans. Could it be..."

She also thought of something terrible.

That means that Tani Akiko may have been kidnapped.

Due to certain individuals, Tokyo's crime rate remains high, and numerous violent gangs roam freely at night.

So it's not impossible for a wealthy heiress to be kidnapped.

Although this is not the town of Beika, known for its outstanding people, it is still a town teeming with talented individuals.

The difference between the eldest brother and the second brother.

"It's possible, just as we suspect, that this girl named Akiko Tani has been kidnapped."

Kidnapping is nothing unusual in the world of Detective Conan; some people would even kill someone over a tree branch that crossed the line.

Kidnapping rich heiresses is actually quite normal, and the reasons are sufficient.

"Then what do we do?"

Before Akiko Yonehara could finish speaking, Natsuhiro Kitahara, who was standing in front of her, disappeared.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's catch up with them first!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro had already hailed a taxi and was sitting inside.

So fast!

"Okay! Here it comes!"

Akiko Yonehara paused for a moment, then immediately got into the car and sat down next to Natsuhiro Kitahara.

"Where are you going, guests?" the driver asked.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "We caught up with a black van ahead. The license plate number was Beihu 900 4551."

Although the van was traveling very fast, he still remembered the license plate number. He was now both human and elf, with eyesight several times better than a human's, comparable to a telescope.

"Sir, this isn't quite right!"

The driver was in a bit of a dilemma. It wasn't appropriate to follow other people's cars randomly, especially in broad daylight.

"My wife was in that car, and her lover was driving!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro's voice was somewhat low, as if he were a pitiful man who had been scammed in a marriage fraud.

"???"

Akiko Yonehara looked at Natsuhiro Kitahara with a strange expression, as if to say, "How can you just spout off like that!"
Ignoring her gaze, Kitahara Natsuyu continued, "This woman has run off with all my money and is planning to elope with her lover! I absolutely cannot let this happen, so I'm begging you, driver!"

"!!!"

Akiko Yonehara's eyes widened. Was it really okay to curse herself like that?!

Clang!
The driver adjusted his slightly reflective glasses, his eyes becoming unusually resolute and bright. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, exuding an air of authority, and said calmly, "I understand, sir!"

"I'll do everything I can to catch up with that car! Hold on tight!"

"Hey! Why would you believe that, driver? And why are your glasses reflecting light?"

Akiko Yonehara silently complained to herself.

"it is good"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong push-back sensation swept through his body, and he heard a hissing sound, which was the sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Due to inertia, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko's backs pressed against the backrest, each grabbing onto the armrests on either side.

At the same time, Kitahara Natsuhiro heard the familiar sound of shrimp catchers!
"Tsk tsk!"

"Who would have thought this taxi driver was a street racer! And he's so skilled at it; he must have raced a lot when he was younger!"

Thinking of this, Kitahara Natsuhiro gave a thumbs up.

The driver returned the favor with a thumbs-up.

Akiko Yonehara, who witnessed all of this, was speechless.

They're all weirdos!

the other side.

Inside the black van, Hisao Ikeuchi hummed a little tune.

He would occasionally glance at Gu Jingzi, who was unconscious in the back seat with her mouth taped shut and her hands and feet bound, and a wicked smile would appear on his lips, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"It wasn't for nothing that I followed this little girl for so long; I've finally found my chance."

"They actually left this little girl alone in the hotel! Their housekeeper is so negligent!"

"And you were tricked out of there so easily! What an idiot!"

"But this idiot can give me a lot of money. Once I have the money, I can kill him, leave this place, and go abroad to enjoy a life of luxury!"

During this time, he had been tracking Gu Jingzi, learning about her whereabouts, and preparing to kidnap her.

But Gu Jingzi had someone pick her up and drop her off at school every day, so she never had a chance to go to school.

He was about to give up when today the housekeeper of Gu Jingzi's family brought Gu Jingzi out of the house without any bodyguards.

Most importantly, they left Tani Akiko alone in the hotel, while the butler left alone.

This delighted him, and he felt it was a golden opportunity. Without any hesitation, he acted decisively.

With just a few words, they tricked Gu Jingzi out of her hotel room, then put her in this van, planning to take her to a safe place so they could call Gu Jingzi's father and demand ransom.

Before that, Gu Jingzi was safe, but once the ransom was received, Gu Jingzi would surely die.

Because Tani Akiko saw what he looked like.

To avoid any trouble, Akiko Tani has no choice but to die.

"Blonde, blue-eyed beauties, your Grandpa Hisao Ikeuchi is coming to visit you soon, so get clean and wait for me!"

Hisao Ikeuchi revealed a smug smile.

The smile on his face vanished the next second.

"Damn red light!"

The transaction hadn't even started yet, and he didn't want to get noticed by the police for running a red light.

Therefore, it is necessary to respect red lights.
