Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 143: Takahashi Gives Up Resistance

After hearing Takahashi's words, Ayako glanced at the two people who were tied up:

"Even if you want to avenge Atsuko, why don't you tell me about it? If you tell me, I can help you!"

"hehe."

Takahashi sneered twice:

"Even if I told you, what would it matter? That damn bastard Chikako, after winning the Newcomer Award, is a famous writer and a sought-after editor! What can ordinary people like us do?

Sue her? Atsuko is dead! There's no one left who can prove that Blue Kingdom is a plagiarized work! She'll never come back!

A trace of sadness flashed in Gaoqiao's eyes:

"Chikako's reputation is on the rise. Although the style and brushstrokes of her later works have undergone tremendous changes, as long as the Blue Kingdom remains popular, there is no way to bring her down!

For justice, for the sake of the dead Atsuko, I must kill her!"

Takahashi's voice became more and more excited. In the end, the wound that had been treated and bandaged suddenly broke open, and bright red blood oozed out of it.

"..."

Looking at the crazy lunatic in front of them, Conan and the other three fell silent.

If someone else had taken over, it might have ended in nothing, as Takahashi said. After all, the true creator is dead, while Chikako is at the peak of her popularity. How could the bigwigs who had invested in her give up this cash cow?

But who was Ayako? The eldest daughter of the Suzuki family! Even if she was destined to marry out, she could still represent the Suzuki Group until she found a husband!

If she wanted to give Atsuko justice, those investors would still give her some face. After all, one was the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, and the other was just an ordinary person with a certain amount of investment. They could still distinguish between the important and the unimportant.

'Sister, you didn't tell them who you are?'

Looking at the man in front of her who was still talking about the difficulties of life and his own hardships, Sonoko couldn't help it and signaled to Ayako beside her with her eyes.

"Huh? Yeah, that's not true. I never imagined that we, who were once so close, would end up like this..."

Ayako's expression was also a little embarrassed.

At the beginning, in order to make a few true friends, she never said that she was the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, but just maintained a persona that she had some money, but not much.

Who could have thought that in the end, these former friends would become like this.

"Would it have been better if I had told them my identity at the beginning?"

Looking at Takahashi who was still denouncing the injustice of the world, Ayako thought thoughtfully.

......

After venting for a while, perhaps because he knew he couldn't escape, perhaps because he wanted to make his future punishment easier, or perhaps because he wanted to make a final struggle, Takahashi sighed and said helplessly:

"Forget it, it's already like this, I accept it! After saying all this, I feel a lot more relaxed.

I tied Chikako and Kakutani to the roof of the villa. By letting them stand in the rain for so long with their injuries, I guess I was avenging a little of Atsuko's past.

Go quickly and rescue them!"

However, what surprised Takahashi was that none of the four people in front of him moved. They just stood quietly in front of him and Ota, guarding them, as if they didn't care about the life or death of Chikako and Kakutani at all.

"Didn't you hear me? I tied Chikako and Kakutani to the roof of the villa, where they're suffering in the rain! If you don't get there in time, they'll be in danger."

"Conan..."

Listening to Kakutani's words, Xiaolan's compassion rose again.

Indeed, if, as Takahashi said, the two of them were injured and exposed to the wind and rain on the roof, they would probably not be able to hold on for long.

"Sister Xiaolan, don't worry!"

Conan smiled and said:

"Even if they both get caught in the rain, there won't be any major problems in the short term. At most, they'll just catch a cold. They'll just need to go to the hospital and get a shot.

Besides, Takahashi has changed his personality and suddenly revealed the place where the two of them were trapped. Who knows what he might be hiding."

"Is that so? You're right."

Feeling that Conan's words made sense, Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully.

"And don't forget, I can contact the police! If there were any problems, Officer Megure would have contacted me long ago!"

As he said that, Conan took out his cell phone and waved it in front of Xiaolan.

"You're right, I was a little too worried."

Seeing that Conan said this, Xiaolan naturally figured out the interests involved.

In this situation, it is better to keep an eye on these two dangerous guys.

Seeing that none of the four people wanted to leave, and the only one, the girl who finally showed some sympathy, was persuaded to go back by this brat, Takahashi's expression turned into anger again.

Why, why, even after he was so honest, did these people still refuse to believe him? Why couldn't they give him a chance to avenge Atsuko himself?

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, no matter how much he tried to act like he was very kind, Conan and the other three still kept a close eye on him, not giving him any chance at all.

Even after the police arrived, Conan and his friends stared at him vigilantly, not giving him any chance to make trouble.

Takahashi, who had been thinking of fighting for it, finally sighed helplessly and gave up struggling. At the same time, a sharp piece of glass fell from his hand and landed on the ground.

"!"

Seeing this scene, Xiaolan's eyes flashed with surprise. No wonder Conan has always opposed her idea of ​​going to find Chikako and Kakutani on his own.

It turns out that this guy Takahashi has been holding a method in his hand that can help him escape from the restraint of the ropes.

"Ms. Ayako, Ms. Sonoko, I'm glad you're all right."

Looking at Ayako and Sonoko who were safe and sound in the house, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully.

"Inspector Megure, are you leading the team again? You've worked so hard!"

Looking at Megure, whose eyes were blue and seemed to have some dark circles, Conan smiled awkwardly.

"It's nothing hard, this is what I should do."

Megure looked at Conan, rolled his eyes, and complained in his heart:

"As long as you stay at home honestly, or don't wander around in the area under my jurisdiction, it will be the greatest help to me!"

......

After asking other police officers to search for the two missing people in the villa, Megure listened to Conan and the other three talking one after another, and roughly recounted the course of events and the causes and consequences.

After listening to the four people's words, Megure nodded in understanding, roughly understanding what was going on.

"I think I understand. This Takahashi is the so-called bandage freak, right? But what does all this have to do with Mr. Ota?

According to Takahashi, although Ota played a crucial role in this, the law should make it difficult to sentence him. Speaking of which, why hasn't he woken up yet?

Hearing Megure's question, the other three glanced at Xiaolan without leaving any trace. Xiaolan also stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
