Chapter 26 Twenty-five, Boys Detective Team

The wise detective still didn't come home the next morning, and the house was in chaos.Fortunately, there is also the address left by the wife who came to commission the case when she went out with the detective, so she started the investigation from here, and found that this is actually a fake address, and there is no such rich wife living here.Only then did everyone realize that it was another good thing related to Twenty Faces. The evening papers of major newspapers greatly exaggerated the news, with sensational headlines such as "Famous Detective Akechi Kogoro Kidnapped", added large photos of Akechi, and added fuel to the content.Not to be outdone, the radio reported the case in detail.

"Ah, even our saviour, the famous detective, has been kidnapped by the robbers. It seems that the museum is in danger." The six million citizens were deeply frustrated by this incident that related to their own interests, causing panic.As long as there are people, there will be discussions about this incident, and the sky above the whole city seems to be shrouded in dark clouds of gloomy and uneasy. However, Yoshio Kobayashi, the detective's young assistant, gritted his teeth the most when a famous detective was kidnapped. Xiao Lin stayed up all night and waited all day in vain, but the teacher still did not return until night fell.The police said he had been kidnapped by Twenty Faces, and even the newspapers and the radio reported it. He was not only worried about his teacher's safety, but also regretted the dishonored reputation of a detective.What's more, in addition to his own worries, Xiaolin has to comfort the teacher's wife.Although it was said that Detective Zhizhi's wife was an unusual person, she didn't cry even though she was worried. Looking at her extremely disturbed pale face and forced smile made him deeply sympathetic and restless.

"Teacher, don't worry. How could the teacher be kidnapped by the thieves. The teacher must have some wonderful plan that we don't know, that's why he hasn't come back for so long." Kobayashi used this method to comfort Mrs. Wise again and again.But in fact, he himself was not sure, and he was so upset that he couldn't continue while talking.As the detective's right-hand man, Kobayashi was really at a loss this time, and he had no clue about investigating Twenty Faces' lair at all. The day before yesterday, the gangster's subordinates came here disguised as peddlers of foreign films to spy on the news. Could it be that there are some suspicious people around today?If this is the case, the robber's residence can be traced out along the line.Holding a glimmer of hope, Xiao Lin walked up to the second floor and looked around the road outside the door, but now there is not even half a suspicious person outside.Is it because the robber has achieved the purpose of kidnapping, so there is no need to monitor it anymore?

In this way, the restless second night passed, and the third morning came. It happened to be Sunday, just as Mrs. Wisely and Kobayashi had just finished their deserted breakfast, a boy rushed into the entrance like a bullet. "Excuse me. Is Brother Kobayashi there? I'm Hashiba." Hearing the child's clear call, Kobayashi went out to look in surprise, oh, it turned out to be the long-lost boy Hashiba Soji, and saw his cute little face flushed red, standing at the door panting.It seems that he probably came all the way. Readers should still remember that this boy is the son of the great entrepreneur Sotaro Hashiba who had set up a trap in his yard before, causing Twenty Faces to fall.

"Hey, aren't you Zhuang Er? Welcome, come in quickly." Kobayashi treated Souji, who was two years younger than him, as a younger brother, and led him into the reception room. "Tell me, is there anything urgent for you today?" Asked by him, the sophomore boy said in an adult tone: "Is something wrong with Mr. Wise? It's still missing, right? Regarding this matter, I have a small proposal. After the last incident, I admire you very much. Moreover, I hope that I can be like you Become a great little hero. Later, I told my classmates about your deeds, and I called ten people who had the same idea as me.

"We formed a young detective team. Of course, this is under the condition that it does not affect the school work. My father also said that it doesn't matter as long as the studies are not neglected. Today is Sunday. So, I brought everyone here, specially Come to visit you. Moreover, everyone expresses their obedience to your leadership, relying on the power of our young detective team to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Wise." After saying so many words in one breath, Souji's lovely eyes stared at Kobayashi boy eagerly, waiting for his reply. "thanks." Xiao Lin's tears almost welled up in his eyes, he held back with great difficulty, and tightly clenched Zhuang Er's little hand.

"Wise teacher, I don't know how happy I am if I know your intentions. Okay, let's ask your detective team to help me. Let's find the clues together. However, I can't let you take risks, otherwise there will be a just in case. I can't tell your parents. What I'm thinking of now is a method of detective work that isn't dangerous at all. Do you know 'snooping'? It's all about questioning different people, no matter the details, In order to successfully find the clues of the investigation method. "Children are smarter and more likely to let their guard down than serious adults, so I think this trick will work.

"Besides, I know the appearance and clothing of the woman who took the teacher away the night before, and the direction the car is heading, so we just need to follow that direction and use the method I just said to ask around. Small apprentices, salesmen in rice shops or hotels, postmen, deliverymen, and even children playing nearby can ask, anyway, as long as you see someone, ask. "Although we know the general direction now, the more we go forward, the more forks will become. We will definitely have trouble deciding which way to choose. Fortunately, we have a large number of people, so it doesn't matter. Every fork in the road, we only need to take one of them each. As long as you inquire all day today, maybe you can really find some clues!"

"Okay, that's it. It's a small matter. May I call in all the detectives, then?" "Please, I'll go out with you." With Mrs. Wise's permission, they went to the door together, only to see Zhuoji running out of the door quickly, and soon led ten members of the detective team back inside. The members of the detective team are all wearing the same uniform, and they are a group of healthy and lively teenagers who are studying in the upper grades of elementary school. Under Souji's introduction, Kobayashi greeted everyone standing on the porch.Also, detailed instructions are given on how to find a wise detective.Of course, it was unanimously approved by all.

Xiao Lin is now honored as the head of the regiment, and some teenagers even shouted in ecstasy: "Long live Captain Kobayashi!" "Well, let's go now." So, a group of boy scouts disappeared outside Zhizhi's house with uniform steps.
