Three days later, the premiere of The Tale of Taketori arrived.

When Shinichi Takada, Ran Mao and Sonoko Suzuki came to the backstage of the performance, they found Tamanosuke Ito talking to other actors. When they walked over, they realized that several people were talking about Renka Kataoka, the heroine, not yet arriving.

It's already eleven o'clock, the show starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are only three hours left.

Conan and others were also there, together with a little girl. Takada Shinichi had been introduced by Maori Ran a few days ago and knew that this little girl was Ito Tamanosuke's sister, named Ito Megumi.

The other actors were very worried. Without Princess Kaguya, the Taketori Monogatari would not be able to continue. One by one, they asked Ito Tamanosuke what to do. Ito Tamanosuke finally decided to find Kataoka Renka and bring Kataoka Renka with him. Come back, otherwise there is no way to proceed.

When Mao Lilan saw this, she immediately said that she wanted to go with her. She said that as a substitute, she also had something to tell Renka Kataoka. Tamanosuke Ito heard this and had no objection. Since Mao Lilan wanted to go, Shinichi Takada had no choice but to say that he would drive her there. Two people go.

Takada Shinichi went to the parking lot to drive, and Mao Lilan and Ito Tamanosuke went to the side of the road to wait. However, when Takada Shinichi drove to the side of the road, he saw three people, and there was an extra Conan. Seeing this, he He didn't say anything, just let Conan follow if he wanted.

Shinichi Takada drove the three of them to Renka Kataoka's home. More than ten minutes later, the car arrived at the door of Kataoka's house.

Takada Shinichi, Mao Lilan, Conan and Ito Tamanosuke got out of the car and heard Takagi Wataru's deliberately lowered voice calling from the small door next to him. Although Takada Shinichi and others were surprised to see this, they still walked over.

The four of them followed Takagi Sheba and were led to the living room by Takagi Sheba.

In the living room, in addition to Kataoka Hanshiro and his secretary, whom Takada Shinichi and others met three days ago, there are also two acquaintances of Takada Shinichi and others, namely Megure Juzo and Mori Kogoro.

"You...why are you three here?"

Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting on the chair, stood up and pointed at the three people. He didn't understand why the three people were here.

"Takagi!"

Memu Shisan looked at Takagi Wataru with reproachful eyes.

"Since I didn't know if the prisoners were nearby to observe, I brought them in."Takagi Shiba immediately explained.

"Dad, what happened?"

Mouri Lan asked aloud. Her father, Mouri Kogoro, came here with Megure Thirteen from the Metropolitan Police Department. She couldn't help but think too much.

Mouri Kogoro looked at Kataoka Hanshiro and chose to reply:"It's Kataoka. The husband's daughter, Miss Lianhua, is missing"

"What?!""how so?!"

Ito Tamanosuke and Maori Ran exclaimed. Although Takada Shinichi and Conan did not exclaim, they were also very surprised.

Kataoka Hanshiro said in a low voice:"Renhua said she wanted to go out yesterday. After buying some things, I never came back."

There was a computer on the tea table in the living room. Shinichi Takada saw this and walked over. Conan also saw this, so he also walked over.

"The ransom is NT$150 million?"

There is a video on the computer, showing Kataoka Hana being tied up, along with the amount of ransom and the handover method.

"Each of the three companies, Imai Electronics, Kato Networks, and Nakao Communications, prepared a portion, and then prepared the ransom amount before 2 p.m., handed it over to a secretary, and delivered the money to the Yoshioka 1-chome parking lot."Conan read the blackmail content.

"Oh my gosh! Why is it happening like that?"

Mao Lilan also came over, covering her mouth in shock, unable to believe that such a thing would happen.

Takada Shinichi stood up and asked:"When was this threatening letter sent?

The secretary replied:"Almost an hour ago."

Takada Zhen nodded:"The sender should not be found, right?""

"Yes!"

The secretary responded.

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but said:"It always feels like it takes a lot of effort."

Takada Shinichi explained with a smile:"This method is common in international crimes and causes problems all over the world."

"Yeah?"

Mouri Kogoro nodded and said nothing more.

Megure Thirteen asked aloud:"Mr. Kataoka, can you tell us about the three companies required to be delivered in the ransom?"

"Onuki!"

Kataoka Hanshiro did not answer, but called the secretary's name.

"yes!"

The secretary named Onuki responded and said to Takada Shinichi and others:"These three companies are all companies that have recently done business with our company."

Takada Shinichi asked:"Even if this is the case, why do we have to ask these three companies to pay ransom? There must be some reason for this, right?"

"this reason..."

Ohnuki did not answer, but looked at Kataoka Hanshiro

"It's okay, just tell them."

Kataoka Hanshiro said immediately. He now wants his daughter to come back safely, not to mention that this is not something that cannot be said.

Ohnuki responded, and then said:"In fact, it was the operators of these three companies who recently reported to Kataoka at the same time. Mr. proposes to Miss Lotus"

"Well!"

Ito Tamanosuke's face was a little unnatural when he heard this. He had a good impression of Kataoka Renka.

"Ah, isn't this similar to that story?"

Moori Kogoro said and started thinking, but he didn't remember what the story was for the moment.

"By the way, it’s Snow White!"

Moori Kogoro suddenly spoke up. He was unlearned and unskilled, but he was deeply impressed by this fairy tale.

"dad!"

Mao Lilan felt extremely embarrassed, and immediately leaned over and whispered:"You should be talking about the story of Princess Kaguya and Taketori, right?"

"Ah... you can also say that."

Mouri Kogoro reacted immediately, feeling a little embarrassed.

Conan clicked on the video and started watching it, and Takada Shinichi also looked down. He was about to watch it again.

"Um?"

Takada Shinichi, who watched the video, immediately discovered something was wrong in the video. This video was cut off. Except for the other places in the video, the curtains were open at the beginning. After the cut, they were pulled up. After that, Oka Renka's His hair was stained with spider webs. The reason why the video was cut off, Takada Shinichi also discovered, was because of the construction vehicle that could be seen outside the window. Apparently the place where this video was taken was next to the construction site.

Conan watched the video repeatedly and obviously discovered it. No, it’s just not as many as Takada Shinichi discovered._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
