"What?" The young man frowned. "Kidnapping?"

"Yes," Kazami nodded. "That's exactly what the Metropolitan Police Department said, so they want to send someone over to take a look."

"Then why don't you let the search class and those people get it?" The young man asked rhetorically. "Why do you want to tell us about this kind of thing?"

"Because ......," Kazami said after a moment's hesitation. They said they couldn't intervene, so they asked us to deal with it. ”

"Inconvenient?" A look of confusion appeared on the young man's face. "What do you mean by inconvenience?"

"Because Officer Sato, who transferred the case, told us that it was really inconvenient for them to get involved in this matter," Kazami explained. "Because the kidnappers in this case are likely to be related to the search lesson, she suspects that the search lesson is likely to have an internal ghost, and once it is handed over to the search section for internal processing, it may be a surprise."

"Inner ghost?" The young man's puzzled look instantly froze on his face. "The person who searched the first lesson came to us, and then said that the search lesson was out of the ghost?"

"Yes." Kazami nodded. "That's true."

"Tsk......" The young man showed a rather subtle expression. Can you help me get in touch with this person? On the way to the location of the raid hostage, I wanted to talk to her. ”

…………

Twenty minutes later, the police car was on.

"So, it was the kid named Edogawa Conan, who was found by Matsumoto and knew the content of the case, and reasoned that those beetles might be related to someone in the search class, so he contacted this Takagi next to you by phone, and then Takagi contacted you?" The young man asked, sitting in the passenger seat, looking at Officer Sato through the rearview mirror.

"Yes," Officer Sato looked at Takagi beside him, then nodded. "Because I had doubts about this before, I didn't mention it to anyone else and contacted you directly."

"Wondered about this before?" The young man asked again. "Tell me about it."

Officer Sato then briefly told the young people about his previous experiences on the way to Shindotsu's house and at Shindo's house.

"I see," the young man nodded. "If that's the case, it's understandable that you're thinking that way – or rather, quite plausible."

The young man knew very well that there must be an organized ghost in the search lesson, otherwise he would not have asked his superiors for a warrant to directly interfere with the investigation of this case.

But he still didn't know who the inner ghost of the organization was who it was. I am afraid that it will only be confirmed after arriving at the scene and confirming who has been abducted.

But how did the little guy know that it was the person who had been kidnapped and searched for a lesson? Still is...... The young man turned his gaze out the window and avoided eye contact with Takagi and Sato in the back seat.

Is this a bait trying to lure him into a trap?

…………

At the same time, Tokyo Tower.

Sitting on the counter, Hotaru took a small sip of the milk tea she was holding in both hands, and then looked through the glass and looked out the window.

After eating at the Tachibana Mansion, Hotaru, who learned that Fujiwara couldn't accompany her for Tanabata, didn't stay at home, but chose to give Yuma a little nervous because he asked Takeda to come to Tokyo Tower to spend Tanabata with him.

As for the reason? For Hotaru, Yuma is a special one, and even just staying by her side can make you feel very at ease.

After drinking the milk tea, Hotaru tossed the milk tea cup into the trash can next to her, and left the small shop - Yuma and Takeda drank faster than her, so they went up the stairs next to it to the second floor of the observation deck early.

After going upstairs, she suddenly saw a familiar person - Chiha, who had said that she would go out early in the morning to investigate the case with Matsumoto Administrator.

Could it be that he came out with other little girls to spend Tanabata? No - this little guy's personality Hotaru is still relatively familiar, which is not like her painting style.

Could it be that he is here to investigate the case?

Making a silent gesture to Yuma and Takeda, who had already seen him, Hotaru tiptoed into Chiha's ear and blew lightly.

"How did you get here?" After Chiba regained her composure, Hotaru asked unhurriedly. "Coming with your little girlfriend?"

Hotaru was 99% convinced that the answer was no, because if that was the case, it would be impossible for Chiba to show up in front of the elevator alone - he would definitely take the same elevator as Ash Hara.

"I'm here to buy a gacha," said Chiha. "I accidentally broke a gacha that Gray Hara bought here the other day, so I wanted to come and buy some more for her. As a result, the Tanabata Festival is now being held here, so I came up and took a look. ”

The easter eggs that the little girl bought here? Probably the easter egg that these two guys bought when they were involved in the bombing of Tokyo Tower some time ago, right? But...... His reason is not the same as the reason he gave Gray Plains to mourn?

The little girl's one is quite reasonable, and the general reason for making it up is not like this, so there is a high probability that Qianyu is lying.

So, what is the reason for his lie? Confidential operations? But in that case, his most normal choice should be to ask a few of them to help him do something secretly, instead of prevaricating like this.

In any case, try to stall for a moment and see how he reacts, so you can probably guess what he's actually doing. If he's not in a hurry, then there's probably no mission, but if he doesn't really want to accompany him, then his purpose here is very delicate.

"I see," Hotaru walked up to Chiba and touched his head. "Would you like to walk around here with your sister? My sister isn't familiar with this place. ”

"Huh?" Qian Yu blinked, and then said while shaking his head. "That...... I'm not familiar with this place either, and sister, you still have to accompany Sister Yuzhen, don't you? ”

He didn't want to waste his time here - in his character of trying to satisfy the others, apparently because he had more important things to do at the moment than to spend a few of them together.

"Hmm-" Hotaru made a thoughtful expression. "It seems to be right...... Woo - looks like you really can't take your sister here. ”

"That ......" Chiba already felt a little tired of dealing with Hotaru's attack, so she retreated decisively. Well, then I won't bother my brothers and sisters to come out and play...... I'll withdraw first! ”

"Okay~" Hotaru smiled and waved to Chiha. "Have a great time!"

Watching Chiba disappear into the crowd, Hotaru narrowed her eyes slightly - she always felt that something was wrong, after all, if there were no special circumstances, Qian Yu would not have done anything to hide this kind of thing when she came out to investigate the case with Matsumoto Management Officer.

So, what exactly is the variable that causes Chiba to keep it secret?
