Kudan Lower Station Entrance.

Wearing the hood she wore over her coat, Ayumi looked at the phone at the entrance of the station - the phone would theoretically come to mind after about a minute, and the kidnappers would tell her what to do next.

Conan, Motota, and Mitsuhiko watched him from just around the corner - they kept quietly following Ayumi so as not to cause mood swings from the kidnappers who might be hiding in any of the places.

As for the thousand feathers... As the number one vigilant target of the kidnappers, he didn't even follow.

At this point, the phone rang. Ayumi hurriedly picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Yo, little sister, you're really punctual." The familiar sound of a kidnapper was heard. "Did you bring the bag?"

"I brought it!"

"Did your friend come along?" The kidnapper asked.

"Nope." Ayumi shook her head.

"So?" The kidnapper's playful tone sent chills down Ayumi's back. "Alright then, I'll trust you for the time being, and then you're going to take the Toei Shinjuku Line to Shinagawa Station Platform 13 in 20 minutes. I'll call you again in 20 minutes. ”

Ayumi put down the phone and glanced at the stop sign not far away. "If you go to the Yamanote Line... Do you want to get to Shinjuku Station? ”

As Ayumi walked onto the platform, Conan and the others quietly followed.

At that moment, a train sped past the platform marked with the Shinjuku Line, but the Shinjuku Line did not stop.

"Huh?" Ayumi was shocked.

"It's a express line over there, and it won't stop at this station." A kind voice came from her ears.

"Huh?" Ayumi was stunned and looked at the owner of the voice.

It was a little boy with short white ear-length hair, a long white coat and long sleeves, who came like a prince.

"Do you want to go to Shinjuku Station?" The boy asked.

"Hmm." Ayumi reacted and nodded.

"Come with me~" the boy said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ayumi agreed to the boy in a magical way.

Not far away, Conan and the others were stunned.

"Who's that guy?" Mitsuhiko was stunned.

"I don't know." Conan shook his head.

on the tram.

"Is this bag yours?" The boy glanced at the handbag in Ayumi's hand and asked curiously.

"Uhhh Ayumi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"But this doesn't look like your handbag, right?" The boy's expression was subtle. "Then let me change the question, this bag is yours, but is this bag the bag you use?"

"Uhhh Ayumi thought for a few seconds before shaking her head. "I'm just bringing this bag to people who need it."

"Can I go with you?" The boy tilted his head.

"Huh?" Ayumi was stunned.

"I'm just out playing right now, going wherever I want." After the boy finished speaking, he showed a reassuring smile.

。。。

The kidnappers were quite patient, because they kept asking them to go to different exits to answer the phone without monitoring Ayumi at all (because the kidnappers never mentioned their dissatisfaction with Ayumi taking someone else with them).

Take 4 stops from Kudanshita Station to Shinjuku Station – the junction of the Toei Shinjuku Line and Yamanote Line – then be asked to take 8 stations counterclockwise from Shinjuku Station to Shinagawa Station in 15 minutes.

After that, they were asked to sit clockwise for five stops to Shibuya Station.

From Shibuya Station, take 11 stations counterclockwise to Kanda Station.

From Kanda Station, take nine clockwise stations to Meguro Station.

Then I sat clockwise from Meguro Station for ten stops to Otsuka Station.

。。。

"The guy who asked you to deliver something was pretty naughty... Stepping off the tram, the boy shrugged.

"I'm sorry... Ayumi said ashamedly.

"But I'm curious," the boy glanced not far away. "Are those people your friends?"

"Huh?" Ayumi glanced at where the boy was looking—although he only saw an afterimage, she was sure it was Conan and the others.

"Let's get back in the car!" Ayumi suddenly remembered something and walked quickly back to the train.

The boy glanced at the people who were hurrying back to the tram not far away, and did not follow Ayumi onto the tram.

Just then, the tram doors began to close.

Ayumi glanced at the closing door and remembered what was on the phone.

"When the tram door is about to close, you suddenly rush out, and you want to be the only one who gets out of the tram at that time, you know? I'll check this. ”

Ayumi rushed out of the car just before the door closed, but lost her center of gravity because she rushed too quickly and fell forward.

The boy reacted quickly, and hurriedly took a step forward, using his hands around Ayumi's armpits to hold her up.

The boy helped Ayumi up, and his face rubbed against Ayumi's hood, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The boy's gaze interacted with Conan and the others on the train, who were looking at him for a moment.

"Well, I feel like you're doing something else," the boy took a step back and looked at Ayumi with a smile after helping Ayumi to her feet. "So, I'm going to leave it here?"

"Well—besides," the boy added suddenly. "Your black hair is beautiful~"

With that, the boy turned away and disappeared from the sight of Ayumi, who was still in a daze.

“。。。” Ayumi reacted at this time, pulled her hood, and completely hid herself in the hat.

。。。

Ayumi was running down the street and stopped in front of a public phone that was ringing.

"Hello?" Ayumi picked up the phone.

"Little sister, you are very trustworthy! Uncle is very happy! The kidnapper's voice came. Uncle, I'm really happy! ”

"Where do I go now?" Ayumi asked.

"Uncle tells you an address, and you walk over with that handbag, okay?" The kidnapper's voice changed from its previous intransigence to a very gentle one.

"Hmm!" Ayumi nodded, hung up the phone after hearing the address, and walked towards the location.

In the bungalow dozens of meters away, a man looked at Ayumi's departing figure and showed a sneer.

A minute later, the man walked out of the bungalow and disappeared into the alley.

。。。

Thirty minutes later, the figure of the man appeared near an abandoned complex. He looked around for a moment, then abruptly left the place again.

A few minutes later, Ayumi's figure appeared there, and after looking around, Ayumi walked to an abandoned warehouse and walked through the escalator outside the warehouse to the door on the second floor.

In another remote abandoned building, the white-haired boy watched Ayumi's every move.

Just then, his phone rang – it was a text message.

"It's remote, and it's about 20 minutes away."
