do what I say if you don't want our kidnappers to escape! ! A With that she hung up and ran on.
Meanwhile, Ai made his way to the meeting point with the police.

This is exactly where they wanted to corner the perpetrator! You still had an hour. Until then everything had to run like clockwork!

Conan ran as fast as he could.
This criminal was damn quick!
`I said stay here! A, he shouted. Instead, the hunted ran even faster.
> Right now I could really use my old body! <, it shot through the head of Conan.And running through those sewers isn't really the best either! `W-what ?! A.
He stopped abruptly.
The path split into five more. How was he supposed to know where the perpetrator was now? Through this darkness he could not see where he had run away.
Conan looked around.
All branches looked the same. One just as channel-wise as the other.
Finally he decided to take the middle one of the five.
Walking further and further into the darkness, he suddenly heard a whimper.
It got louder and louder.
When he got to the end of the road, Conan saw the mess:
A good dozen children sat huddled in the corner and cried as one competed.
`Conan !! A, someone called and before he knew it he was almost crushed.
`G-Genta, let me ... go! A, Conan tried to fight back.
'You have to get us out of here! I'm really hungry! A, Genta chattered off. `He's going to kill us all !!!A.
`Not so loud !! A, Conan warned him, but too late! All the kiddies howled at disco volume !!
'What if it is true ?! He doesn't want to let us go again! It eats us all up !! A.
Suddenly Conan's earring phone rang.
'Yes? A, he answered and was immediately interrupted.
`` DAMN, WHERE ARE YOU? A, a girl's voice yelled at him.
`K-Kyoko ... A
`NO, NOTHING WITH KYOKO !! YOU KNOW EXACTLY THAT YOU HAVE TO STICK TO THE PLAN !! A.
`There were complications! A, Conan explained.
`Complications? A Kyoko's voice was scared. `What complications? Conan? Hey Conan answer !! CONAN! A.
However, she could only hear the beep of the broken line.
Kyoko was as rigid as stone. What was going on? Had this madman caught him?
No, she couldn't think that !! If that happened then ...
She shook her head vigorously.
At the same moment the police car arrived.Inspector Megure opened the door and went to her.
'Did you see a girl here? A.
`We have to save Conan !! A, she interrupted.
`W-what? Why Conan? Do you mean the little-A?
`Yes exactly that! A.
'But what is he looking for here? I thought-A
`Minami is my sister! That’s okay !! All she had to do was do something! And now dalli dalli !! A.
> Holla, just as temperament as our good debt detective! Megure could only shake her head briefly.
In less than three minutes, the entire task force, under the supervision of the inspector, had marked all drains and set up surveillance posts.
Kyoko checked her watch.
Ten minutes left.
Then Ai came running.
`I haven't seen anything from him! A, she gasped and took a deep breath. `Nothing at all

`Shit! A.
What should she do now? Your plan went completely wrong! And if everything went wrong, Conan's life was in danger!`I will go look for him! A.
Kyoko wanted to start running, but Ai got in her way.
`Now just keep calm! A, she tried to placate her. `If ​​you panic now, the Shinichi is of absolutely no use! A.
`So what ?! So I'm far from sitting around waiting for him to die !! A.
'Nobody says that either! A.
`Then let me pass! A Ai did nothing of the sort.
Kyoko just didn't want to get it! What good was it if she wanted to look for him? He could be anywhere! `He has this transmitter with him and it makes it easy for me to find it! A.
`And what do you do if the perpetrator discovered it and just threw it away somewhere ?! A.
Kyoko lowered his eyes and turned around.
There had to be a way to get him out of there !? Any !!
She was shocked.
Why hadn't she stopped him? Why had she even let him put himself in such danger?And why couldn't she damn well do anything ?!
Right now she would have used herself, her old ego, well.
Then none of that would have been a problem!
She would have just followed this kidnapper, put him out of action with a little karate, freed the children, handed him over to the police and reported to Heiji !!
But it wasn't like that! As long as no antidote was found, she would walk around in this body forever !!
`So = n crap !! A, she cursed and kicked the right rear tire of a police car with full force.
Inspector Wataru Takagi noticed this and lifted her into the air as quickly as possible before she could demolish more.
He went to Megure, who was of exactly the same opinion: home with the kids!
She was put on the back seat of the car with her hands and feet, Ai followed by herself.
`I'd be interested in what you two were doing here anyway?A? Asked Takagi as he started the engine and drove off.
Kyoko didn't answer, defiantly crossed her arms and stared out the window. `You are friends with little Conan, aren't you? A, the police officer tried again. Nothing again.
After a while, when they were at a traffic light, he turned to look at her. `You can't be silent forever-A He paused when he saw or, better still, didn't see what he should have seen.
Kyoko was gone!
'You must have missed her! A, said Ai with a smile.

That's exactly what she was! Kyoko ran back the way.
Who was she that she let a police officer chauffeur her home like a little child? You, the future chief detective, definitely didn't put up with it!
And that's why she just jumped out of the car while driving!
Kyoko held her wrist. Well, it wasn’t quite so free of injuries after all, but at least it’s better to sit in front of the telly at home!Should there be trouble now! So what? She didn’t care!
`` Oh menno! A.
She was fed up and jumped into the nearest open manhole, which was marked as a construction site.
Once at the bottom, she held her watch at chest level and activated the built-in flashlight. She walked on slowly.
It stank like the plague, and if she was lucky, she'd be allowed to walk through a petrol station car wash at least fifty times before she smelled normal again!
Suddenly she heard a noise that suggested someone else was still down here, moving.

She stopped and pricked up her ears.
Nothing.
Was she wrong?
Kyoko went on.
That slurp again!
When she stopped again it was gone again.
So someone was chasing them!
She felt queasy. If this madman attacked now, then she couldn't even defend herself and was inferior to him!`Now don't you drive the dog crazy in the pan! A, she said softly to herself. It's just a smelly, wet, dark, threatening ... sewer. Just one ... sewer! With a lot of ... rats
However, this little encouragement did not bring much.
Instead, she became even more anxious.
Why?
Why was she such a cowardly rabbit?
It wasn't like that before ...
Kyoko kept walking when she suddenly came to something like a> clearing =.
Five ways. And one would surely lead to Shinichi and the others!
'What am I doing now? A, she sighed. Then something occurred to her:
Ayumi had been on the witch trip not so long ago and had borrowed all kinds of books from the library on witches and sorcery. `If ​​you don't know what to do and need a solution, then you only have to say this sentence three times:> Witch hat and toad slime, you should be the right thing for me = A, she had said.Of course, Kyoko hadn't believed a single word back then. She didn't do that today either. But what else should she do? She couldn't go through each of these five paths !? Besides, she had to get Conan and the others out of here safely. Ayumi shouldn't cry because of that ...
`Witch hat and toad slime ... A
With this saying she did a counting until she finally landed at the middle path.
Without further hesitation, she moved on.
She didn't turn around and didn't pay any attention to this annoying psycho-slurping either.
Always straight ahead, don't look back! was her only thought.
In fact, after a while, she achieved her goal.
`Genta! Conan !! A The two boys were lying on the floor, unconscious. Just like any other child.
Kyoko ran to the two of them.
`Hey Conan! Conan! Open your damn eyes !! Conan !!! A.
Conan opened his eyes and sat up.She exhaled in relief.
`Kyoko? What are you doing here?? A, was the first question he asked her.
`Well what ?! I'm walking around down here! A, she replied sarcastically. `Man, do you really think I'm there for fun ?! A.
He noticed the fear that was in her eyes.
'I'm sorry. A Conan got up slowly. `You have to get out of here asap !! A.
`W-what? A.
`Go away with the others and get help! A, he repeated.
Only now did she realize what he was telling her.
She looked at the other children, who were all waking up in the meantime.
`Okay, what about you? A.
Conan stood in front of her.
`I will try to put an end to our perpetrators! A.
Kyoko looked very slowly behind her.
In front of him and her actually stood the criminal they were looking for!
`A-but that's ... A She didn't go on.
This criminal was the chairman of the Takeshi Group, a successful business corporation.

'Quite right!A, Conan smiled. 'So you recognized him too. Yamato Takeshi, who has been missing for three months, whose wife was found dead in the apartment, and who was charged with tax evasion. Right before his disappearance, of course! A.
Takeshi grinned.
'You're right there, little one! Yes, I am, Yamato Takeshi personally. A He ran a hand through his straggly black hair. `In those three months my appearance has suffered a bit, but I'm still just the same
`With a few drops of blood sticking to his fingers. A, added Conan.
`Tststs. I didn't hurt any of the kids! A, he defended himself.
`No, maybe not them, but the late Mina Takeshi. They stabbed you and then went into hiding A.
`Yes, that's right. I killed her! A
