"So, you do have partners!" Kogoro held Aso-san on the collars

"I don't, it's only me, please believe me!" Aso-san pleaded

"If what he said is true, I'm afraid that the girl, after the first kidnapping, has been kidnapped from the holding place by someone else! And he sounds like a serious criminal" Kana whispered to Conan

"Dad, please help me!" Tani heard his daughter

"Akiko!" -Tani

"My patience is running thin. If you don't provide the 300 million dollars in time, who knows what will happen to your daughter" -the kidnapper

Tani dropped to his knees "Please! I'll get the money! Can you just let Akiko return home safely?" -Tani

"Keep talking to him... try to make him tell us his location" Kogoro whispered to Tani

"His location?" Tani accidentally said which made the kidnapper hear him

"Who is there with you? It wouldn't be the police, right?" -the kidnapper

"No! He isn't the police!" -Tani

"Dad, I'm in a school's storage room! There's a big chimney outside the window!" Akiko revealed her location but the kidnapper closed her mouth before she can even reveal more

"I'll phone you in an hour! By that time, you'd better have the money!" The kidnapper ended the call

"One can see a big chimney from the window of a school's storage room, with just this clue, we can't be certain which school it is. But, just in case, you should prepare the money" -Kogoro

"Yes" -Tani

Meanwhile, Conan and Kana are holding a map, trying to locate Akiko.

"The criminal's location has been revealed, if we don't find her now, the girl may..." Conan mumbled

"What are you doing Conan-kun?" Ran said from behind them

"It hasn't been long since the time of the kidnapping. We're sure they must be somewhere nearby" Kana said a little too loud on purpose

"That's right! With a little girl, he cannot go far. If it's a school nearby..." -Kogoro

Kogoro didn't finish when Kana unclipped the dog's leash and they both rode it.

"Conan, Kana, where are you guys going?" -Ran

"Ran! Follow that dog!" -Kogoro

"If there is a chimney, it's either a factory or a bathhouse. The number of schools that can see a chimney is five!" They visited all the schools but they can't find the right one. Conan, Kana, and the dog is going tired too

"There are no more schools that can see chimneys! Could it be that the kidnapper is not in this area?" Kana panted

They slowly losing hope but Conan suddenly had an idea when he saw a building.

"That's it! Seeing it from the side, she mistook this building for a chimney! The only school nearby where you can see this building as a chimney is..." -Conan

"Futatsubashi school!" Kana said for him and they started the run again

<Time skip>

"The deal is already done. Therefore, you have no value now" The kidnapper took out his dagger in front of the teary-eyed Akiko

"Wait!" Conan shouted in time

"Who? Where are you?" -the kidnapper

"Right here!"

The dog launched at him while Kana and Conan helped the girl.

"It's alright!" Conan peeled off the tape while Kana is trying to untie her

"Who are you guys?"

"Kudo Shinichi-" Conan said but Kana cut him off before he can even say anything else

"He's Edogawa Conan, and I'm Nakano Kana, we are detectives!" -Kana

"A detective?" -Akiko

Before they can even celebrate, the dog got hit pretty hard which made it run away.

"You little devil!" the kidnapper tried hitting Conan with his baseball bat but he got away in time

While he's distracted with Conan, Kana took this opportunity to keep kung fu skills in check. She can't rely on brute strength because of her body so she will rely on her nimbleness and acupoints.

Because of this, the criminal is paralyzed and knocked out in no time. They tied him up so he won't run away and Kana pushed some points so he won't be paralyzed anymore.

'We don't want them suspicious' Kana thought

Not long after, Ran and everyone finally arrived in relief. Kana is sleeping on Conan's shoulder, Akiko is sleeping on Kana's shoulder, and the kidnapper is a little away from them.

<Time skip>

"I was the one who planned the kidnapping!" Akiko revealed the truth

"What?!" -Tani

"Because, you only care about work every day and not about me, so I asked Aso to help me arrange this kidnapping. I thought that if dad's company was closed, you could take me out to play!" -Akiko

"That's why! The first kidnapping was a fake!" -Kogoro

"Even if it was my daughter who asked, you shouldn't have done it! Do you understand, Aso?" -Tani

"Yes..." -Aso

"As for your punishment, you have to book a one-week trip for two that will start tomorrow. The destination is Australia!" -Tani

"Ah! Master!" -Aso

"Of course, it's for Akiko and me. We're going together!" Tani laughed

"Papa!" Akiko jumped at him

<Time skip>

They are outside and Tani is complimenting Kogoro.

'We are the ones who found the clues, he's exaggerating!' Conan thought

Aso-san, Akiko, and Tani started to go inside the house. Akiko turned around slightly and said "Thank you! Detectives!"

"Detectives?" -Ran

"She's probably talking about uncle!" Kana pointed at the laughing Kogoro

<Time skip>

"Right, Dad, about these children..." -Ran started

"They can stay! I got lucky to get a case and solved it when these children arrived" Kogoro ruffled Kana's hair but only glanced at Conan

"He hates your nosy ness" Kana whispered to Conan then giggled. She didn't see the fond look Conan gave to her
