"Ke Lan, you're a girl. Remember, you can't play football when you're wearing a dress.”Lan pressed Ke Lan's shoulder and interrupted him.
"Eh?" Ke Lan couldn't react in time.
Damn it, I forgot that I'm a little girl again.
As long as there was a case, Ke Lan would get carried away and focus on it. As for her gender, she had long forgotten about it.
Kelan glanced at his little toy unhappily and put down the pink football helplessly.
"Okay, I understand, Xiaolan…Sis…Sis.”She said obediently,
"I didn't expect Kelan to like playing football too. Shinichi often thinks about things while playing football. He said that playing football can help him think better.”Seeing Ke Lan's actions, Lan was reminded of the missing Kudo Shinichi.
I am Shinichi, Xiaolan! Ke Lan muttered in his heart.
"Eh…this, is that dog?”
Kelan suddenly noticed that there was a big yellow dog tied to the left side of the wall. It was the dog that was very close to the little girl in the photo.
Wow, why is this dog so big... Uh, okay, my body is too small.
Ke Lan looked at the big yellow dog that was right in front of him. He found that the dog was very gentle and kept wagging its tail at him.
Ke Lan couldn't help but reach out and touch the dog. The big yellow dog enjoyed Ke Lan's touch and licked Ke Lan's little hand happily. Ke Lan's hand felt itchy and he couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing the little girl's laughter, the butler, Mao Li, and the others who were talking couldn't help but look over curiously.
"This is really strange. Other than the people in the family, the giant shouldn't be close to outsiders.”Gu Tenggang said in surprise when he saw the big yellow dog and Ke Lan playing together.
Perhaps the giant also thought of Gu Jingzi when he saw this little girl. Gu Tenggang thought.
However, Gu Tenggang's casual words made Ke Lan realize something.
So that was how it was!
Ke Lan had a conclusion in his mind, and he pretended to look at Gu Tenggang innocently."Uncle, if the giant saw a stranger, it would definitely bark, right?”
"Yes, I am! This was because the giant was the best among the guard dogs.”Gu Tenggang nodded.
Upon hearing their conversation, Maori Kogoro felt as if he had discovered something and began to think.
I remember that the servant of Gu Family said that he didn't hear any other sound except for the housekeeper's voice. It seems that the criminal must be Big Boss's acquaintance, so…
Just as he was thinking, Maori Kogoro suddenly noticed that Butler Aso was quietly retreating. He could not help but shout,"Butler Masheng! Where are you going?"
Seeing that Maori Kogoro finally understood the hint he had given, Kelan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
" What you said just now was really strange." Maori Kogoro looked at Butler Masheng arrogantly."You said that the criminal who sneaked into the courtyard kidnapped Miss and used that tree to escape. But why didn't the giant guarding the house scream?”
" This, this is because…" Butler Masheng broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect to be discovered. He didn't know how to cover it up.
"And there are too many ambiguities in your testimony. In fact, there was no black-shirted man at all. The real kidnapper was you, wasn't it, Butler Masheng?”Maori Kogoro insisted that Butler Aso was the criminal.
"Masheng! " You bastard, you actually…" When Tanifuji Gang heard Maori Kogoro's words, he was instantly furious and looked at Butler Masheng angrily.
"I'm really sorry, Master!”Hearing this, Butler Masheng knelt down and kowtowed in apology.
"Masheng, I've treated you well all these years! Why did you do this? Did someone instruct you to do this?!”
Although he was extremely angry, Tani Tenggang still had the last bit of trust in Butler Aso after knowing him for so many years.
"No one instructed me. This was all done by me.”Butler Masheng said in panic.
"Then where is Miss now?”Maori Kogoro asked.
"In, in a nearby restaurant." Butler Masheng answered honestly.
"Hahaha! The truth was finally revealed! I knew that as long as I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, was involved, no matter how difficult the case was, it would be easily solved!”
Maori Kogoro shouted excitedly. After all, this was the only case he had solved in the past six months. Now that he had successfully solved it, he would definitely receive a handsome reward, so he could not help but get a little carried away.
No, this matter was not that simple. There must be more to it!
Unlike Maori Kogoro who was in a state of ecstasy, Kelan's long-standing detective instincts made her not dare to relax.
If Butler Masheng was really the kidnapper, why was he still here?
Just as Ke Lan was deep in thought, a female servant hurriedly ran over.
"Old, old master, there's a call for you!”
"Tell him I'm busy and I'll call him later.”Gu Tenggang replied casually.
Although Tani Tenggang refused to answer, the maid looked troubled." But this, this is…about Miss…"
" Huh?!"
Gu Fugang answered the phone from the maid's hand in confusion."Hello, this is the head of the Gu family."
" 300 million yen ready?" An unfamiliar man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Who the hell are you?"”
"I just called. I'm the one who kidnapped your daughter.”the unfamiliar man said lightly.
"This... "How is this possible? Bastard, didn't the criminal already…" Seeing that things had changed, Tani Tenggang panicked even more.
"You really have other accomplices!" Maori Kogoro, who heard the sound of the phone, grabbed Butler Aso's collar and said angrily.
"No, just me. Please believe me.”Masheng explained innocently.
Butler Masheng's words should be true.
Ke Lan thought to himself when he saw the confused expression on Butler Masheng's face.
It was very likely that the little girl had been kidnapped by an even more vicious criminal after the first kidnapping.
At this thought, Ke Lan felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, a little girl's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone."Daddy, come and save me!"
"Crystal!" Hearing his daughter's familiar voice, Tani Tenggang's heart trembled.
"Hmph, I don't have the patience. Hurry up and prepare 300 million in cash. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to your daughter!”
The kidnapper's cold words pierced Gu Fugang's heart. Thinking that his poor daughter was in danger, Gu Fugang did not care if the kidnapper could see it or not. He knelt down and begged,
"Please don't hurt my daughter. I'll prepare money for you! So please let her go home safely!”Gu Tenggang begged in a low voice.
Just as Gu Tenggang finished speaking, Gu Jingzi's voice came from the other end of the phone,""Dad, in the school's warehouse, you can see a huge chimney from the window…Ah!……”
"I'll call you again in an hour. By then, you have to prepare the money!”the criminal said before hanging up.
"What did you do to my daughter?! Hey! Damn it!" Tanifuji Gang shouted angrily, then quickly turned to Maori Kogoro for help." Mr. Maori, what should we do now? Should we call the police immediately?"
"Don't worry, calling the police will easily anger the kidnappers! From the phone call just now, we can easily find some very useful information. I believe we will definitely be able to find the hiding place of the criminals.”
Maori Kogoro paused for a moment and rubbed his chin."You can see the school's warehouse with the big chimney, although you can lock onto a few specific schools. However, just in case, I'll have to trouble you to prepare cash.”
"Alright, I'll go prepare the ransom immediately!”
It was related to his daughter's life and safety, so he couldn't delay it. He quickly nodded.
At this moment, Kelan had already gotten a map of the nearby area from the servant and was carefully observing it.
The criminal was nervous because his hiding place was known. If he did not rescue her quickly, the little girl's life might really be in danger!
Although Xiaolan was also very worried about the little girl's safety, she knew that she was not good at reasoning, so she could only quietly not disturb Maori Kogoro's case.
Lan asked curiously when she saw Kelan looking at the map with a serious face,""Ke Lan, what are you doing?"
"It hasn't been a long time since the kidnapping, so I think the criminal should be somewhere nearby.”Ke Lan pointed at the map and explained.
"Yes! Kelan was right. They couldn't have gone too far with the child.”Hearing their conversation, Maori Kogoro also reacted." If it's nearby, and it's confirmed to be a school, the search area will be much smaller!”
Maori Kogoro clenched his fists excitedly and said to Tanifuji Gang,""There's still an hour left. President Gu, please prepare the cash first. We'll quickly bring a few people to search the nearby schools.”
"Alright, no problem! Mr. Mao Li, I'll arrange for some people to follow you to investigate.”As he spoke, he hurriedly brought a few servants to take action.
At this moment, Ke Lan had untied the chains around Big Yellow's neck. He rode on Big Yellow's back and rushed out.
"Ke Lan?" Xiao Lanfa exclaimed.
Oh right, that dog! It was so close to Gu Jingzi that it might be able to find the kidnapper by following the smell!
"Xiaolan, let's go after that dog.”Maori Kogoro immediately reacted and chased after him.
There were either bathhouses or factories with chimneys. There were a total of…five schools with chimneys nearby!
On the empty street, Kelan rode on the giant and sped toward the suspicious spot in his heart.
Within a few minutes, Kelan arrived at the first school.
No, not here!
Realizing that the description wasn't right, Ke Lan quickly ran to the next school on the giant.
By the time Ke Lan started riding the giant yellow dog around the city, Gu Quanyi and Tong had already crossed a few big rivers.
