After hanging up, Heiji looked at Yukiko. He gave a helpless smile. This woman's acting seemed a little too good.
He did not think deeply about it. He had seen Yukiko's acting many times before. This woman was the type who could turn things upside down if he was not careful.
He had to be safe. "Bloated square bamboo?" Yusaku Kudo fell into deep thought again.
Based on the criminal's personality, this clue should be like the previous two. It must be related to buildings.
Officer Sakata did not dare to speak. He was afraid of bothering him. It was six-thirty! Yusaku's forehead started to sweat.
The passing time was like sharp arrows hitting the deepest part of his heart. He clenched his fists tightly.
The sound of the phone was very loud on the quiet observation deck. "Dad, how is it going?" It was Conan.
Conan was not there. He had not even solved the first clue. Some things required more than just high intelligence.
One needed experience or to be at the scene. Conan was far away in Tokyo. He did not know the situation in Osaka at all.
Yusaku took a deep breath. He told Conan what had happened. "Bloated square bamboo?" Conan also fell into deep thought.
It was six-thirty-five! Sweat dripped from Yusaku's forehead. He was now in a race against time.
Suddenly, Officer Sakata's phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone and walked to the side.
"It is me... what? My car is not parked in the right spot? Oh, you have a car coming in? Am I blocking it?"
"Okay, I will go move it right away." Sakata walked over to Yusaku. He looked apologetic.
"Mr. Yusaku, I am sorry. My car is blocking the way. Keep thinking here. I will move my car to the nearby parking lot."
Yusaku suddenly looked at Officer Sakata. His eyes showed a sharp light. "That is it! Bloated square bamboo. It refers to that!"
Sakata felt a chill. Mr. Yusaku's gaze was very sharp. "Mr. Yusaku, did you solve the code?" Sakata asked.
Yusaku looked at him and nodded with confidence. "I solved it. Thanks to your reminder, Officer Sakata."
"Me?" Sakata looked confused. "Did I say something?" It was six-forty-seven!
Heiji looked at his watch and shook his head. There were thirteen minutes left.
He wondered if he had to think of another plan. He had spent two days on this plan already.
The time limit for the S-rank mission was only five days. He could not waste a single moment.
Yukiko's face was already white. But she would never ask for help. She could not handle the shame if he helped her with her clothes.
However, her body felt like it was going to explode. The pain was very bad. She was even starting to lose consciousness.
Then, the phone rang. Heiji's heart moved. Did Yusaku Kudo figure it out?
"Great writer, did you guess the code?" Heiji asked. "The parking building! The bloated square bamboo is a parking building," Yusaku said coldly.
"Not bad. It is six-forty-eight now. Your wife is on the highest parking building in Umeda." "However, she seems to be in a lot of pain. I hope you can make it in time."
"Who are you exactly?" Yusaku was very worried. "At a time like this, you should care more about Yukiko Fujimine."
Heiji paused for a second. "But it does not matter if I tell you. I am a gentleman of the night."
"I am playing a game with you as a challenger. When the game ends, you will be impressed by my style."
Yusaku frowned. "Are you the Night Baron?" "Night Baron?" Officer Sakata's eyes opened wide.
"Great writer, we will meet again. This game is still going on." Heiji hung up and put the phone back on Yukiko.
He looked at her shaking body and felt a bit helpless. "Great star, you can stop acting now. The game is over. Wait for them to save you."
After saying that, he ran and jumped out of the window hole. He disappeared into the night sky like a large bird.
Yukiko felt despair. She was almost at her limit. Yusaku quickly took the elevator down. He called Conan at the same time.
"Hello, Dad? Is there a clue?" "I solved it all. Yukiko is in Umeda. We are heading there now."
"Is that so? That is great." Conan let out a sigh of relief. "By the way, Dad, do you know who the criminal is?" Conan asked.
Yusaku was silent for a moment. "The Night Baron." Conan shouted in surprise over the phone.
"Do not worry. Your mom is fine." "But the Night Baron said seven o'clock, right? It is already six-fifty."
"Dad, where are you?" "Officer Sakata, how much longer to Umeda?"
"It is impossible to get there in ten minutes," Sakata said with a bitter smile. "I will ask Hattori."
Conan hung up and called Heiji. Heiji was walking on the street. He had removed his disguise.
"Kudo?" Heiji frowned. "Kudo, I still do not have a clue..." "Hattori, where are you?" Conan asked immediately.
"I am in Umeda. What is wrong?" Heiji answered. "Umeda?" Conan felt very happy.
"Great! Is there a parking building near you?" "A parking building?" Heiji gave a strange smile.
"There is one. But there are no cars there. It seems to be an unfinished building. Wait..." "Could Yukiko be in Umeda?"
"Yes. Mom was kidnapped by the Night Baron to Umeda. She is in the tallest parking building. It is likely the one you mentioned."
"The Night Baron kidnapped Yukiko?" Heiji's voice sounded full of disbelief. "I do not know why. Hattori, please go and check right now."
Conan sounded very worried. "Okay, I will go look." "It must be before seven o'clock. Hattori, I am counting on you!"
"Seven o'clock?" Heiji's voice got louder. "It is already six-fifty-two." "Please!" Conan was helpless in Tokyo.
"I will try my best." Heiji hung up and ran toward the parking building. He felt very helpless in his heart.
He had to write, direct, and act. Now he had to jump into his own trap. Luckily, he reached the building in five minutes. He jumped inside.
Fifth floor! Yukiko's face was covered in sweat. She could not hold it anymore.
"Yukiko?" She heard Heiji's voice in her daze. "I... I am here." Her voice was very weak.
Heiji felt a chill. Was she really not acting before? He ran to her side. He quickly untied her ropes.
"Yukiko, wake up." "Bathroom. I need a bathroom."
Heiji had to carry her to the old bathroom in the building. Before they reached it, a sound like a waterfall started.
It seems she really was not acting, Heiji thought. Yukiko walked out. She saw Heiji and her eyes turned red.
She suddenly jumped into his arms and cried loudly.
