Heiji couldn't say much and drove Ran to the destination.
The pink BMW stopped in front of a four or five-story building.
"Is this it?"
Ran got out of the car, looking doubtfully at the building in front of her:
"I seem to have seen it on TV."
Heiji smiled faintly:
"This is the small building where the phantom thief Night Baron stole fifteen thousand Maple Leaf Gold Coins, and also the place where you will be kidnapped and detained later."
"Here?" Ran smiled gently.
Heiji led Ran into this building. The top floor was an attic, uninhabited.
An iron gate blocked the two's path.
"It's locked."
Ran frowned her beautiful eyebrows.
"Of course it's locked, otherwise how to keep you locked up."
Heiji smiled faintly, took out a key, and opened it directly.
Ran widened her eyes abruptly, looking at Heiji in surprise:
"How do you have the key?"
"Borrowed from the administrator."
The attic hadn't changed much. The only change was that windows were added to the window openings, blocking the sunlight, making it appear somewhat dim.
"Heiji, how long do you think it will take for Dad and Mom to find me?" Ran was somewhat panicked.
"Uh, with Lawyer Kisaki and Uncle Mouri's abilities, it won't take long."
The code wasn't too complicated. With Conan's ability, it shouldn't take long.
"Mn, what do I need to do?"
Ran took a deep breath, looking at Heiji expectantly.
"Do you want Lawyer Kisaki and Uncle Mouri to think you were really kidnapped, or fake kidnapped?"
"Is there a difference?"
"If really kidnapped, then you definitely need to be bound by ropes. If fake kidnapped, just sit here is fine."
"Will the two have any impact on Heiji?"
"Yes." Heiji nodded: "Real kidnapping, then I, this kidnapper, exist and will be wanted. Fake kidnapping, I am just an accomplice cooperating with you to act out a play, treating it as a farce."
"But, would Mom and Dad have already called the police? If they already called the police, whether real kidnapping or fake kidnapping, it will alarm Inspector Megure and the others; then the matter will become big."
Ran's face became somewhat pale; she hadn't thought of this consequence before.
Heiji sighed helplessly: Ran's IQ finally came online, although a bit late.
"It's fine. With Uncle Mouri and Lawyer Kisaki's abilities, they won't call the police."
"Why?" Ran blinked her big eyes and asked.
Heiji's face turned black: Can't stand praise, went offline again.
"You are their most precious daughter. Before ensuring your safety, they won't call the police casually."
Ran nodded:
"Then fake kidnapping."
Originally, it was just to try. she didn't want Heiji to shoulder unwarranted charges; this would be very bad for his reputation as a genius high school detective.
Heiji shrugged casually; fake kidnapping was the best way.
Kogoro Mouri had already dressed. His eyes were like hawk eyes. After leaving the office, he called a taxi downstairs.
"Go to Tokyo Tower."
The taxi started and left!
At this time, Conan just happened to come back.
Conan stopped abruptly on his skateboard: Why is Uncle dressed so neatly at this time? Could it be, there is news of Ran?
A flash of excitement crossed the bottom of his eyes abruptly. The solar skateboard started again, shooting out like an arrow.
There weren't many people at Tokyo Tower.
After getting off the car, Kogoro Mouri quickly bought a ticket and prepared to enter.
"Uncle, is there news of Sister Ran?"
Conan stopped abruptly in front of Kogoro Mouri, looking at him nervously.
"Why are you, brat, appearing here?" Kogoro Mouri asked with a frown.
"Uncle, don't mind these small things, how is Sister Ran?" Conan had no time to explain.
Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan, threw that note directly to him, then strode towards Tokyo Tower.
Looking at the note, Conan frowned.
Suddenly, his heart lit up, looking abruptly at Tokyo Tower: Isn't the shape of Tokyo Tower a long arrow? The awe-inspiring blood color foreshadows this entire body of red. Does the holy radiance refer to Ran?
Instantly overjoyed in his heart, he hurriedly chased after.
"Uncle, I want to go too."
The only place people could go up to at Tokyo Tower was the central observation deck. The two took the elevator straight up.
Searched the entire observation deck, but couldn't find Ran's figure.
"Damn it, how can she not be here."
Kogoro Mouri punched the steel wall fiercely, a look of anger revealing in his eyes.
[Wrong, something must be wrong somewhere.] Conan forced himself to calm down.
"Uncle, is this the hint given by the criminal?"
"Hinted from the phone."
Kogoro Mouri also slowly calmed down.
[Since it is a hint given by the criminal, impossible to trick us, also no need to trick us. There must be something here the criminal needs us to know.]
Conan ran everywhere on the entire observation deck, sweat drops covering his forehead: Holy radiance, holy radiance...
"Mom, I want to look in the mirror, I want to look in the mirror."
Not far away, a little girl acted coquettishly towards her mom.
[Mirror?] Conan's pupils shrank, looking abruptly at an inconspicuous mirror beside the elevator: It's right there.
Conan wanted to take the mirror, didn't expect to bump fiercely into a person: "So painful!"
Then, his head was knocked once again.
"You brat, behave yourself."
Kogoro Mouri glared at Conan, carefully took down a mirror from inside the steel wall, and flipped it open to look.
A strange key and a small note were pasted on the back.
"The gentleman of the dark night..."
However, this small note seemed to be torn in half from the middle; simply didn't know what the words behind were.
Kogoro Mouri's face became very ugly, fists clenched tightly:
"Damn it!!!"
A roar like a beast suddenly sounded in the observation deck, scaring other tourists so much their hearts trembled, looking over here in shock.
Conan was also startled, but what he cared more about were these two things.
[The note is obviously not complete, why did the criminal tear it? Also, why does this key feel not complete either, like missing a side.]
Looking down at the note given by Kogoro Mouri, carefully deliberating the meaning between the lines.
Breathing suddenly quickened, looking up at Kogoro Mouri:
"Uncle, quickly call Auntie Kisaki Eri."
Kogoro Mouri frowned:
"Call her for what?"
"1+1=1, Uncle, this is hinting to us that these things are only half of the clue. There is another half definitely in the hands of someone very intimate with Ran, that is Auntie Kisaki Eri."
Conan shouted happily.
Kogoro Mouri's heart moved, immediately took out the phone wanting to dial, but, suddenly he hesitated.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Brat, you call."
Kogoro Mouri handed the phone to Conan, his expression very complicated.
Conan had no time to think in detail, took the phone and started dialing.
