Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

222 Lock the target
As soon as he finished speaking, Ishino's cell phone rang again as expected, and the call was from Natsumi.

During the phone call, Natsumi anxiously recounted how she saw Xiao Ai and others being kidnapped in front of her, and said that she had gone to the nearby police station to report the incident, but failed to receive effective help.

Since the other party's vehicle left the corner directly after kidnapping Xiao Ai and others, and the vehicle blocked the license plate, she was unable to provide the police with the license plate number, and the nearby road cameras had already stopped at this point. Work had stopped, so the police could only ask them to go back to the hotel and wait for further news.

Regarding the reaction of the American police, Ishino was not much surprised. Instead, he comforted her with a calm voice on her mobile phone: "Natsumi, don't worry. It's better to go back to the hotel now and think about it in the long run. I promise to take care of Xiao Ai and the others." Rescued.”

As if being infected by the calmness and confidence in Ishino's words, Natsumi, who was a little worried before, immediately calmed down. Knowing that it was useless to wander around like a headless fly at the moment, she followed the other person's suggestion: "Well, Then let’s rush back first and think of a solution together.”

Seeing Ishino hang up the phone, Grace, who had been listening on the side, already knew roughly what happened. She looked at Belmore beside her with a look of shame and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, is it you? The little sister Xiao Ai I mentioned earlier who looks very similar to me was mistaken by the mafia for me and kidnapped?"

"That's pretty much it, but don't worry, Uncle Ishino and I will definitely find a way to rescue them safely." Seeing the remorseful look on his face, Belmore squatted down and stroked the little girl's hair. comforted.

However, Belmode's move made Grace feel even more guilty, and she couldn't help but cry: "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, it's all because of my escape that put Xiao Ai and the others in danger... If I were to , if you hand me over to them, maybe you can get Xiao Ai and the others back..."

Hearing that the little girl in front of him was so scared but still said such words, Ishino walked up to her and wiped away her falling tears, patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if I don't take you, If you go and change people, I can find a way to get them to return the girls unscathed."

Feeling Ishino's warm palm, the guilt and fear in Grace's heart seemed to be melted by the warmth, and her brain became clearer. She rubbed her red eyes and said seriously: "Uncle Ishino, I probably know that they might Wherever I was taken, it was most likely the place I escaped from before!"

Ishino originally wanted to ask Grace if she knew about those mafia strongholds, but he was not sure whether Grace could remember them clearly in her current mental state. Now he was happy to see her taking the initiative to help provide clues, and immediately took the money from his pocket. He pulled out a travel map and laid it out on the bed, motioning to the little girl to point out the specific location to them.

Grace searched carefully for a while, and finally rested her finger on a jewelry processing factory on the outskirts of the city. She said excitedly: "This should be here. After I escaped, I went to find Aunt Chris. I found the road by looking for road signs, so I remember the roads nearby very clearly!”

Watching Grace call out the names of the roads she passed along the way, Ishino felt that although this little girl's real personality was a bit timid, she had honed her skills on the screen. This photographic memory was truly amazing.

At this moment, Kaito called again and reported a little embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, the car sped up and headed north after leaving the city center, but don't worry, I will definitely be able to find them if you give me some time." Where to go."

After understanding what Kaito wanted to express, Ishino knew that it would be difficult for him to keep up with the car with only two legs, so he gave the instruction straightforwardly: "I understand, you don't have to work hard to find clues next. Go directly to this place in the northern suburbs and confirm whether it is the other party's destination." After saying that, Ishino hung up the phone without waiting for Kaito's reply and sent Kaito the specific address provided by Grace.

Kaito, who originally expected to be scolded by Ishino, was now looking at the address sent in the text message with confusion, wondering how the other party knew the destination of those people.

For his brother-in-law, Kaito was in awe from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, although he had many questions in his heart, he still did not dare to call and ask. He could only act obediently according to the other party's instructions. After all, Aoko was also kidnapped by those people. , the top priority is to confirm the safety of the girls as soon as possible.

After arranging Kaito's mission, Ishino winked at Belmore, who immediately smiled at Grace and said, "Grace, I'm going to go outside with Uncle Ishio to find someone for help. You wait for us here." Can I do it in a while?”

"Well, I will wait for you here, and I will never run around." Although she didn't want to be separated from Bellmore, but knowing that the other party was working hard to rescue Xiao Ai and the others, Grace still suppressed her uneasiness and nodded obediently. Agree.

Smiling and touching the other person's little head, Belmode followed Ishino out of the room and returned to his room next door.

Seeing the two of them walking into the room with solemn expressions, Hiroki, who was lying on the bed surfing on his mobile phone, immediately sat up and asked the two of them what was making them so worried.

Ishino and Belmode did not treat Hiroki as a child, so they told each other roughly what happened before. After hearing this, Hiroki's tender little lazy balls couldn't help but wrinkled forehead wrinkles, worried. Said: "I didn't expect that this group of lawless gangsters would dare to kidnap in broad daylight and in public. If there is a computer with Internet access around me now, I might be able to help find their location."

"You don't have to worry about this. We have basically determined the place where they kidnapped the people. As long as we know their location, it is not difficult to rescue the people." Ishino said, looking at Hiroki and reminding, "It's our previous The plan needs to be adjusted because of this incident, and with this mafia attack, I think I can find a more suitable reason..."

He was not particularly worried about the safety of the girls. After all, Xiaolan and Qingzi both had the aura of heroines and were the daughters of the world. Even if they were involved in incidents many times, they would eventually turn the danger into disaster, not to mention Yangzi's skills. It was obvious that they were taken away together on purpose to protect several children.

If the other party really did something to harm them, Ishino doubted whether grandma would go berserk and transform into a Super Saiyan to kill the other party directly.
