Wasn't it 300 million yen?
Could it be that the price of goods had risen?
Makoto Higashino looked at the iPhone 12 Promax in his hand. It really didn't match the products of the 90s.
It seemed that times had changed!
The prices of commodities skyrocketed, and even the ransom demanded by the kidnappers had increased by several times!
"Extorting 1 billion in cash?"
"Master, are you mistaken? Why would the kidnappers want money?”
"There must be a mistake somewhere!"
Butler Masheng was shocked and quickly asked.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
"It's all your fault. It's all your fault that my daughter was kidnapped!”
President Gu cursed loudly, completely ignoring the details.
"Did you make a mistake?"
Whoosh!
A bolt of lightning flashed across Conan's head.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly came to a conclusion.
He raised his hand and pointed at the butler, Masheng, with his tender fingers.
"You're the kidnapper, right?"
"Mr. Masheng!"
Makoto Higashino said indifferently.
Swoosh!
In an instant, everyone stopped.
Many gazes, whether in surprise, confusion, or panic, fell on him.
Conan, who had just opened his mouth, choked.
He stood rooted to the ground, unable to say a word.
Those were my lines!
"M-Mr. Masheng?"
Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched as he looked at the old butler in front of him.
He had a kind face and a kind look. One look and one could tell that he was a good person!
"You, you, what are you talking about?”
"How could I be Miss Kidnapping?”
Masheng explained in a panic.
"Masheng is the kidnapper?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
President Gu revealed an expression of disbelief.
As the old butler of the Gu family, Masheng had served them for decades.
He had watched his daughter, Gu Jingzi, grow up. He loved her more than his own granddaughter.
Why would he kidnap Jing?
"Just now, Aso heard the kidnappers extorting 1 billion yen and said this.”
Makoto Higashino pressed the play button on his phone and played the recording.
"Master, are you mistaken? Why would the kidnappers want money?”
"There must be a mistake somewhere!"
The first time it was played, everyone was stunned.
However, when the recording was played a second time and a third time, even Maori Kogoro's eyes widened.
"I see, I see. I finally understand!”
"The kidnapper is really you, Mr. Masheng!”
Maori Kogoro grabbed the old butler and pinned him to the ground.
"Quick…let go!"
"I can't breathe!"
Butler Masheng was lying on the ground and begging weakly.
"Then tell me quickly, where is Miss?”
Maori Kogoro grabbed him with one hand and placed his knee on his back, pressing down on the butler's center of gravity.
Even though he had not been a criminal police officer for many years, his skills had not been wasted.
"Mr. Mao Li, what is going on?”
President Gu was stunned and quickly asked.
"President, it's actually very simple.”
"It's normal for kidnappers to ask for ransom. Otherwise, why would they kidnap your daughter?”
"But Masheng said that the kidnappers would not ask for ransom!”
"Why?"
"How did he know that the kidnappers wouldn't ask for a ransom?”
Maori Kogoro looked at the old butler below him and said proudly," Because he's the kidnapper!”
"He was the one who planned and ordered the kidnapping. That's why he knew that the kidnappers didn't want the ransom.”
"That's why he was so surprised when the kidnapper asked for the ransom and said those very strange words!”
Weng!
It was as if he had given them a sharp warning. In an instant, everyone understood.
It was normal for kidnappers to ask for ransom, but not asking for ransom was abnormal.
If it was an ordinary person, they would not be surprised to hear that the kidnappers were asking for 1 billion yen.
However, the old butler, Masheng, did not believe it. He even thought that President Gu had made a mistake and heard wrongly.
This was an obvious contradiction!
The only explanation for this contradiction was that the kidnapper was Aso!
He knew the target of the kidnapping, so when he heard that the situation was different from the plan, he showed shock and doubt.
"F * ck! Give birth!"
President Gu gritted his teeth and shouted his name. His fierce eyes stared at him.
"Yes, yes!"
Masheng lowered his head in shame.
"However, this is not the plan.”
"It was Miss who wanted to play with Master, so she asked me to come up with this kidnapping case. She asked Master to close the company for a month because she hoped that Master would be less busy with work and spend more time with Miss.”
"But what ransom? What 1 billion yen? It really wasn't me!”
Masheng raised his head and tried his best to defend himself.
The kidnapper's request was completely different from his original plan.
"You, you…"
"Tell me, where is the crystal?”
President Gu clenched his fists, but he couldn't hold back his anger.
"In a nearby hotel."
"Hilton Hotel, room 2708. I've booked the best suite for Miss!”
Masheng said with an ashamed expression.
"Hahaha…It's settled!"
"With the help of the famous detective, Maori Kogoro, there is no case that cannot be solved!”
Maori Kogoro laughed exaggeratedly.
"Daddy is really too much!"
Xiao Lan, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed and blushed.
This father really did not look like an adult!
