Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1313 A Strange Kidnapping Incident

Police dog Genta has officially launched!

Although Yuya deduced that Suzuki Shiro was taken away in a food truck, he didn't have a good way to find him and could only check the surveillance footage.

But it's different when Genta is around. He can clearly smell the aroma left by the eel rice. I don't know whether to call him a dog with a nose or just obsessed with eel rice.

"It's over here! The smell of eel rice is wafting over from here!" Yuan Tai shouted and rushed out first.

Yuya and the others quickly followed.

Seeing Genta leading everyone forward without getting lost at all, Ayumi couldn't help but exclaim, "Genta is amazing, just like a police dog!"

The people behind them also had smirking expressions on their faces.

Yuya and Conan, in particular, never imagined that a famous detective would rely on a child's dog nose to find someone.

"It's getting closer, and the smell is getting stronger!" Yuan Tai shouted, quickening his pace and rushing into the kitchen.

Everyone quickly followed.

Soon we arrived at the end of the kitchen.

Ayumi looked around: "There's no one here."

Yuya casually remarked, "They're probably being questioned by the police."

Mitsuhiko looked at Genta: "Genta, how is it?"

Genta was still sniffing the air when he heard this, and replied, "This should be the room."

The group looked around but found no trace of the food truck.

At that moment, Shiho Miyano pointed in a direction and said, "Found it, it should be that food truck, right?"

Everyone turned to look and found that there was indeed a food cart over there, but it was partially blocked by the stove and they couldn't see it clearly.

Genta sniffed in that direction and shouted, "That's right, the eel smell is coming from over there!"

The group rushed towards the food truck without waiting.

Yuu noticed a male waiter's jacket lying on the ground, bent down and picked it up. It seemed the culprit had already changed clothes and left.

"Yuya!" Conan called out.

Yuya turned her head and saw that the cloth covering the food cart was partially lifted, revealing that it was completely empty.

"Chairman Suzuki is not here."

It's normal that it's not there; so much time has passed, it's probably been moved long ago.

Genta's mouth watered at the aroma of the eel rice wafting from the food cart, but Mitsuhiko stopped him sternly, saying that it was evidence and he couldn't eat it!

At that moment, Yuya suddenly noticed a noticeable stain on the cabinet door next to him. He walked over, touched it with his hand, and rubbed his fingers together—it was fresh, not like it had been splashed during cooking.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and opened the storage cabinet door. The next second, his pupils contracted slightly—it was the missing Suzuki Shiro!

His hands were bound, his mouth was taped shut, and he was quietly curled up inside the closet.

"We've found them."

The others came to Yuya's side and were startled to see the unconscious Suzuki Shiro.

Mitsuhiko asked worriedly, "He...he's not dead, is he?"

Yuya reached out and checked Suzuki Shiro's pulse, saying, "He's fine, he just fainted. Mio, call Inspector Megure and tell them you've found him."

“Okay.” Shiho Miyano quickly took out her phone and dialed Inspector Megure’s number.

···

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako quickly arrived, and together they took the unconscious Suzuki Shiro to the infirmary. Upon receiving the news, Mouri Ran and Suzuki's mother and daughter also came over.

During the wait, no one else returned to the kitchen.

Strange, why hide people here and then leave them alone?

Shiro Suzuki woke up not long afterward.

Inspector Megure inquired about the situation at the time: "Chairman Suzuki, did you see the culprit's face?"

Shiro Suzuki shook his head: "No, it was pitch black when the power went out... I don't know how I passed out. When I woke up, I was already here."

He had already learned what had happened from Inspector Megure, and thanked Yuya and the others, saying, "Thank you so much for saving me."

Yuya waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about.

Genta, on the other hand, proudly put his hands on his hips and said, "Our Junior Detective Club has done a great job!"

"Mhm!" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi nodded happily.

Inspector Megure lowered his half-moon eyes. These kids were as disobedient as ever. And Kamiya, that kid, was running around with them. If they ran into a criminal... well, considering Yuya's karate skills, he thought it was probably the criminals who would get into trouble.

At this moment, Takagi Wataru spoke up: "Inspector, President Mitsuzuka's testimony also said the same thing."

Also? Another "also".

Yuya pondered. So, President Mitsuzuka also had a similar experience? He was knocked unconscious, but instead of being kidnapped, he was hidden somewhere and eventually discovered?

Who on earth would do something so pointless?

Suzuki Shiro was shocked: "So, what happened last time was indeed premeditated?"

Sonoko Suzuki asked, puzzled, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Shiro Suzuki said, "Do you remember the friend I met last week who suddenly disappeared?"

Sonoko Suzuki thought for a moment and nodded: "Is it the female company president who was recently seen playing golf with my dad, the police officer?"

Upon hearing the name of the female company president, Tomoko Suzuki looked sharply at her husband: "Is that so, husband of the child?"

Shiro Suzuki broke out in a cold sweat instantly: "No, no, I didn't play with her alone."

Tomoko Suzuki didn't say much. It was just a social obligation, after all. She had only tried to pry and see if there was any inside story.

However, judging from Shiro Suzuki's expression, it seems that's not the case; she understands and has confidence in her husband.

Sonoko Suzuki also remembered and said, "I remember that time, didn't the police find her in the Akiba restroom as soon as they arrived?"

Shiro Suzuki nodded: "That's right, but she didn't tell us what exactly happened back then, and she didn't come to today's banquet either..."

Yuya pinched his chin. Suzuki Shiro and that Mitsuzuka president had a surprisingly similar experience: they both suddenly disappeared and were then quickly found.

Rather than kidnapping, this is more like... a warning?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Uncle Shiro, is President Mitsuzuka also a sponsor of WSG?"

Shiro Suzuki paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Suddenly, Yu turned around abruptly and shouted angrily towards the door, "Who goes there?!"

Everyone was startled by his sudden action. Conan was the first to rush out and forcefully push open the door.

There was no one there. Peeking over again, a figure disappeared around the corner.

Conan looked thoughtful—that figure from behind, why does it look a little familiar?
