Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan went out to purchase popular mystery novels in a bookstore, and by chance, he encountered two people (a man named Hayato Wakai and a woman named Chiaki Wakai) carrying a child, whose name was Kazuo Mimura. As they radiated gazes at each other, the child chucked a gachapon towards Conan. Opening the toy capsule, not only did Conan see a tiny Kamen Yaiba figurine inside, but also a piece of paper was visible. Unfolding it, Conan discovered that the child was being kidnapped, and the content on that paper was "HELP" (たすけて).

Location: Aoyama Avenue, Hakuchu
Victim: Kazuo Mimura
Age: 5 years old
Culprits: Chiaki Wakai & Hayato Wakai

After Conan interpreted the signal of crisis, he tailed the three of them and perused into a hotel, where in the hall of the hotel he learned the number of their booked hotel room. Then he knocked on the door of their room and dashed into the room. He pretended to return the gachapon dropped by Kazuo and pulled him into the bathroom. Within the bathroom, he briefly grasped the situation by asking Kazuo for some basic information. Yet he scrutinised the bathroom; there were absolutely no exits to the exterior. The circumstances outside of the bathroom were rather eminent; Hayato kept urging the two kids to get out of the bathroom. Conan had no other choice but to exchange clothes with Kazuo based on the fact that they possess similar appearances. This was the best approach to saving Kazuo from the kidnappers.

And that's how Conan found himself sitting in the kidnappers' minivan. Conan persistently observed their behaviour in the back seat. He deduced that the two kidnappers were couples based on their rings on the ring finger. Conan also noticed some unknown stains on the back of the front seat. Apparently, the two kidnappers did not act so proficiently on the matter; they looked more like amateurs. Instead of plotting the abduction themselves, they supposedly read strings of instructions printed on a notepad, possibly written by somebody else. Just after that, Conan witnessed Hayato calling Kazuo's father, Masami Mimura, on a public telephone, per commands printed on the notepad.

Conan deceiving Hayato with the voice-changing bowtie.

Since Conan had brought the Voice-Changing Bowtie with him, when the kidnappers intended to communicate with the hostage "Kazuo", Conan was able to gloss over by imitating Kazuo's voice using the bowtie. All of a sudden, Conan proclaimed that he was exceedingly hungry and wanted to consume some dumplings and shumai; consequently, they led them into a Chinese fast food restaurant and let Conan enjoy the food. At the same time, Hayato called Kazuo's father once again, demanding for that three-million-ransom in cash. By reading the instructions, Hayato alerted Mimura that the money must be available within an hour. On the other hand, Mimura requested to hear Kazuo's voice through the telephone, and Conan, with the help of his bowtie, managed to utter some words by impersonating Kazuo.

In Mimura Residence, the police from Investigation Division One were invariably inspecting the situation. After Mimura hung up the phone call with Hayato, he pointed out something weird: the "Kazuo" he heard from the phone called him "dad" rather than "papa", which made him wonder about the credibility of the voice. Megure also learned that there were two kidnappers involved and got some rough sketches of their faces. By contacting Sato, Takagi knew the names of the kidnappers as well as the vehicle they were driving; hence, Inspector Megure required checkpoints on the roads that the two kidnappers might come across with. Simultaneously, he claimed that if novels of movies were guiding the two amateur-ish kidnappers, arrest would be bound to be conducted.

Kidnappers feeling perturbed when accepting the cross-examination.

On the road, Chiaki and Hayato were intercepted by the police, who were responsible for the checkpoint. The two of them were remarkably nervous, as everything would be dug out if Cinan in the back seat yelled in front of the police. Meanwhile, Conan found a mini toy car stuck within the gap between two car seats, which had the name "Tetsuya" (てつや) written underneath. He smirked. Then concealed the kidnapping affairs happening within the minivan. Thereupon, the police settled down and permitted their departure. As they drove away from the checkpoint, both two kidnappers felt fairly puzzled about Conan's behaviour; normally, any person, out of the sake of self-help, would call for aid when a police officer was in front of them. Conan responded, yet this time using his actual voice. Conan talked about their anxieties since he surmised that their primary intent was not to carry out crimes but to save their own child who got kidnapped, Tetsuya Wakai. Conan deduced this because he found that mini toy car that Tetsuya had lost a month ago. Conan thus revealed his identity: "Edogawa Conan, a detective."

On the other hand, the little Kazuo, who had exchanged clothes with Conan earlier, had been mandering around the tremendous city, lost and helpless. What he could remember that Conan told him was to find Detective Takagi from Investigation Division One; however, he had a really hard time finding police on the street. Kazuo then attempted to go home; knowing that his home was located in the direction of Shibuya, he entered a metro station. Unluckily, he got on the train, which went in the opposite direction (South Tokyo). Will Kazuo be able to arrive home successfully and notify his family?

Part 2

Conan explained that he understood everything and knew they were forced to follow somebody's instructions with the desire of getting their child Tetsuya back, and he expressed very well his willingness to assist the two of them in bringing justice into light.
