Chapter 621 The Kidnapped Young Master
That thing on the ground was a stack of cash!
Everyone in the Junior Detective Team widened their eyes and looked at this scene in shock.
After putting down a stack of cash, the middle-aged man did not stop, and continued to take out stacks of cash from the bag and placed them on the ground.
Then he collected the cash and put it in his bag as if nothing had happened.
The behavior of this middle-aged man was obviously for someone to see, and that person was definitely not any of the members of the Young Detective Team.
Conan understood it all in an instant.
It seems that this middle-aged man is threatened.
Conan raised his head and looked around carefully. Soon, he found a white light on a building in the distance.
That's a pair of reflecting telescopes!
Conan's pupils shrank and he was about to say something when Genta and the other two pounced on him impatiently.
"Uncle, why do you put so much money in your bag?"
"It must have been stolen!"
"Let us punish you!"
Yuan Tai and the other two were filled with rage, and without giving any time for explanation, they simply pounced on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground, and the bag in his hand also fell to the ground. The large amount of cash in it all spilled on the ground.
"Let me go!" the middle-aged man shouted in panic, "Otherwise, the boy will be killed by that guy!"
"What did you say?" Yuan was too confused.
Huiyuan Ai walked forward and said expressionlessly: "Judging from your appearance, you should be a butler in a certain group, right?"
"Why, the eldest son of your group has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers want you to hand over a ransom?"
After hearing what Huibara Ai said, Genta suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is."
"Get out of the way!" said the middle-aged man.
Yuantai and the other two quickly made way. The middle-aged man stood up and picked up all the money that had fallen on the ground and put it back into the bag.
Conan noticed that the reflective white dot in the distance disappeared. It was obvious that the gangster had left.
"Uncle." Conan turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, "Can you tell me more about this matter?"
"You are just a bunch of kids, what can you do?" The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.
"Don't underestimate me." Conan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said seriously: "I am Maori Kogoro's follower. Telling me the news is equivalent to telling Maori Kogoro."
Although Conan didn't want to use the name of his father-in-law, he had no choice. Everyone only knew the famous detectives Kudo Shinichi and Mori Kogoro, but not Edogawa Conan.
When necessary, Conan had no choice but to rely on the name of his father-in-law.
"Are you Mr. Maori's follower?" The uncle was a little surprised, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
If that great detective were to come forward, perhaps the young master could be rescued.
"Not only Conan, we are also very powerful!" Yuan Tai raised his arms and shouted, "Because we are the Junior Detective Team!"
"We have solved many cases and have been on the news and on TV!" Ayumi said loudly.
"Our Junior Detective Team is the strongest elementary school detective team in the world." Even Mitsuhiko boasted with a serious face: "Every one of the seven people in the detective team is a genius. They will never lose to those famous detectives."
"Young Detective Team?" The uncle said blankly, "I think I saw it in the newspaper..." "That's it?" Yuan Tai said confidently, "Believe in our strength, tell us everything you know."
The uncle hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and compromised.
"Okay, I'll tell you..." The uncle slowly told him everything he knew.
This uncle is the steward of the Yan Group. The chairman of the Yan Group is very old, but his son and daughter-in-law have passed away, leaving him with only one grandson.
That grandson is the future heir of the Yan Group and has inherited the old chairman’s hopes.
And now, his grandson has been kidnapped, and the old president feels very anxious because he is his only grandson.
If something happened to his grandson, how would the old president have the face to face his dead son?
Therefore, no matter what, even if it means risking everything, the old president will protect his grandson.
The old chairman's grandson is five years old this year. His name is 'Akiu' and the gangster who kidnapped him calls himself 'The Joker'.
After kidnapping Akio, the Joker demanded a ransom of 1 billion yen from the Yan Group.
The old chairman didn't care about a mere 10 billion yen, but he was afraid that after receiving the money, the other party would turn against him and kill the child directly.
This is why the old president is having a headache.
The reason why the butler appeared in the park, placed the cash on the ground, and then put it away again was to prove the sincerity of the Yan Group and reassure the clown.
While the butler was placing the cash on the ground, the clown was standing on a building in the distance, observing everything here with a telescope.
The clown disappeared only when Yuantai and the other two knocked down the butler.
After listening to the butler's words, Yuan Tai looked enlightened and said he understood.
He nodded and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I understand."
"Yuanta, what do you understand?" Hiroki asked curiously.
"What else do you know?" Yuan Tai said as a matter of course: "Of course, we should just arrest the criminal and rescue Akio!"
"You don't understand anything at all." Hiroki said helplessly: "We don't even know the clues, how can we find the clown?"
"That depends on Xiaoyu." Yuantai looked at Zeyu and smiled confidently.
Yuanta is very confident in himself, but he is more confident in Zeyu because Zeyu is the backbone of the Junior Detective Team.
As for Yuantai, the so-called leader, he is just a mascot. Although Yuantai himself does not think so, he also admits that Xiaoyu is better than himself.
"Come on, if you encounter any problems, just come to me." Ze Yu shook his head helplessly.
Huiyuan Ai showed a cool smile and teased: "Xiaoyu, who made you like to show off so much?"
"There's no other way. I have to be in the spotlight." Ze Yu smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
"So..." the uncle asked uneasily, "Can you find my eldest young master?"
"It's a very simple thing." Ze Yu said, "Just follow me. I know where he is."
"Wait." The uncle said in surprise: "Even if you are a detective, if you want to know the whereabouts of the criminal, you have to use reasoning, right?"
"But you didn't even have any reasoning. You just listened to me and were ready to lead the way. Is that really reliable?"
