Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 93 Familiar Hair Color

“The door lock was broken, and the intruders were rough, or perhaps this abandoned factory didn’t require them to be cautious.

There were four intruders working in a gang. After breaking into the house, one of the men stood guard while the other two men and one woman entered and abducted the man.

When the criminals tried to kidnap Takei-san, they were met with fierce resistance from Takei-san. One of the two men who entered the lounge should have been of a relatively large build.

After encountering resistance from Takei-san, he immediately restrained Takei-san, and then that woman restrained Takei-san."

"Another man in the lounge took advantage of Takei-san being tied up to mess up the lounge like this.

It seems like they're trying to disguise the scene as a random kidnapping for money?"

"Let me see! They also left this." Tachibana Shizuka found a card on the table in the lounge.

It's similar to the letter-sized piece of paper that Kaito Kid uses to warn him before he steals something, with two lines of small words printed on it.

"3 million yen, old banknotes. Prepare by 12: tonight. Exchange time will be announced later.

You only have one chance, don't try to play tricks, Katsuhiko Takei."

"They only want 3 million yen, Ms. Hanai." Tachibana Shizuka noticed that the ransom demanded by the kidnappers on the ransom note was only 3 million yen.

Akiko Hanai just mentioned 5 million, which was an act of directly draining the cash flow of Katsuhiko Takei's company.

When it comes to stabbing people, it's the people around you who stab them the hardest. Because they know where it hurts the most.

"Don't worry about it! I don't plan to take Katsuhiko Takei's money!" Hanai Akiko was really panicked at this moment.

What she said was the real truth. She really didn't intend to take Katsuhiko Takei's money, she just wanted his life.

But these robbers were really after the money - based on Hanai Akiko's understanding of that bastard Katsuhiko Takei, he wouldn't be willing to spend 5 million, let alone 3 million.

Doesn't that mean that Takei Naoko is really in danger this time?

"I'll contact the police. Ms. Hanai, please help contact Detective Mori." Tachibana Shizuka didn't know why the situation took a sudden turn for the worse, but it didn't stop him from starting to stack buffs.

The detectives of the Investigation Division 1 have a buff, and the three members of the Mori family also have a buff. The best part is that these two buffs can complement each other.

According to scientific statistics (referring to the plot of "Detective Conan"), when the detectives of the Investigation Division 1 and the Mori trio appear at the same time, there will be no unsolved incidents or cases.

"Sonoko, you are responsible for contacting Katsuhiko Takei. The 3 million yen must be in place before tonight.

Remember to tell Katsuhiko Takei not to fool people with that kind of newspaper again."

Tachibana Shizuka specifically asked Sonoko to contact Takei Katsuhiko. This money-obsessed guy obviously didn't take Hanai Akiko and Tachibana Shizuka's words seriously.

Even if the two of them contacted Katsuhiko Takei, they would probably just get a perfunctory response from this old man.

But Sonoko was different. If she offended the abbot in Shaolin, she would be in trouble. But offending Sonoko in Tokyo was even worse than offending the abbot. Especially since Katsuhiko Takei's company had to rely on the Suzuki Group for profits. To Sonoko, Katsuhiko Takei was like a beggar on his knees.

Without these 3 million, the development of Katsuhiko Takei's company may be stagnant, but the remaining 3 million has offended the second daughter of the Suzuki Group - Katsuhiko Takei's company may enter the countdown to bankruptcy tomorrow.

As for what is more important, Tachibana Shizuka believes that the old man Katsuhiko Takei will figure it out himself.

The three of them took out their cell phones and made calls, and Tachibana Shizuka even called Officer Sato directly.

After briefly explaining the current situation, Sato Miwako promised to bring people over immediately. Maori Kogoro also said the same thing.

As for Katsuhiko Takei, after hearing Sonoko's announcement in a calm tone, he realized that this young lady did not leave him any room for negotiation.

Although he was unwilling in every way, he still chose to contact the bank, hoping to raise the 3 million yen as soon as possible.

A mature capitalist will never dwell on an unfavorable situation, but will try his best to find ways to gain benefits from the current situation.

For example, if he were more proactive and cooperative now, maybe Yuanzi would give their company more food when he was in a good mood?
After finishing the call, Tachibana Shizuka continued to investigate the scene using Insight Time. Finally, in the corner of the scene, Tachibana Shizuka found a long hair.

It was a long black-brown hair, and neither the length nor the color matched the hair of Takei Naoko in Tachibana Shizuka's memory.

"Ms. Hanai, did you clean this lounge before Mr. Takei moved in?" Tachibana Shizuka asked Hanai Akiko, pinching her long hair.

"I have cleaned it. I was afraid Naoko would be staying here for several days, so I cleaned it thoroughly."

Although Hanai Akiko is not a professional housekeeper, if she cleaned thoroughly, she certainly wouldn't have left such obvious hair. And this hair is clearly not Takei Naoko's, which means...
This is most likely something the kidnapper accidentally dropped and left here.

And this hair color
Tachibana Shizuka always felt that he seemed to have seen the same hair color somewhere, so he frowned and began to recall.

A few minutes later, an idea suddenly occurred to Tachibana Shizuka!
He remembered that when he was in the bank, Akemi Miyano's hair color seemed to be black-brown!
Because Akemi Miyano's hair was tied up at the time, Tachibana Shizuka didn't pay much attention to the length and color of her hair, so he thought about it for a long time.

So, if this hair really belongs to Akemi Miyano, doesn't it mean that this girl is not robbing a bank, but a kidnapper?

What's going on? What did this sister do to make Gin target her again?

Tachibana Shizuka had no idea that it was thanks to his repeated assists that Miyano Akemi ended up in this situation.

Of course, for Miyano Akemi, who is determined to leave the organization (and seek death), this can be considered as what she wants.
About twenty minutes after the call, the police car of the Investigation Section and Kogoro Mouri's taxi arrived at the gate of the abandoned factory.

Yuanzi went downstairs to pick everyone up.

"Shizuoka, what's the situation? What exactly is this second kidnapping you mentioned?" Sato Miwako asked anxiously.

The Metropolitan Police Department generally held few secrets, so the news that another detective team had failed in their operation today and that the kidnapper had escaped had already spread throughout the Criminal Division. It was foreseeable that tomorrow this news would spread throughout the Metropolitan Police Department, firmly nailing that detective team to the pillar of shame.

Sato Miwako took this as a warning, and immediately brought people over as soon as she received a call from Tachibana Shizuka.
