I'm Not a Detective

Qingjian Liuli had no expression on her face, squinted her eyes, and raised her eyebrows. She floated silently behind Nanabaru Wu, and followed him to the driver's lounge on the side of the mansion - she had been lifted to the sky by Nanabaru Wuqi, and was now in the In the superposition state of Tibetan fox and ghost.

Takeshi Nanabahara doesn't care how she feels. In this world, only employees flatter the BOSS. When did the BOSS start flattering the employees? He didn't care about the stupid employee Qingmi Ruri who didn't praise him as the most handsome guy in Hokkaido every day. He was already extremely broad-minded, so he didn't care about her whether she liked it or not.

He went directly to Akihiko Kawai's desk and started rummaging through other people's things without courtesy. The place had already been searched by the police. The pile of junk that Oguri Kamino had rummaged through before contained a lot of Akihiko Kawai's belongings. As a result, he did not gain much. He only roughly confirmed that Akihiko Kawai is a mechanical watch enthusiast. He often buys and reads magazines related to mechanical watches. He owns many small tools for watch maintenance and repair. It seems that when the family does not use the car, he is there. Maintaining watches here is a unique hobby.

Other than that, it can only be confirmed that he is left-handed, and nothing else can be seen. After all, this is just a place where he waits and rests for work, not a place where he lives.

After checking the things, Takeshi Nanabahara smiled and asked another young driver who was watching cautiously: "Hello, is everything normal in the vehicle recently?"

Takaramuroto has two full-time drivers, but they are said to be full-time drivers. In fact, they pay more attention to sending the vehicles for maintenance and annual inspections in a timely manner. They are more like vehicle managers. After all, except Chiho Takaramuro, most people You don't need them to escort you when you go out, you can just drive yourself, and the person in front of you is the remaining "vehicle manager" except Akihiko Kawai.

He couldn't figure out the identity of Takeshi Nanahara, and he didn't know what he meant by asking, but he also knew that something big seemed to have happened today. Everyone was asked not to get off work or leave the manor for the time being, but he was very cooperative and immediately took out a bunch of She showed him the vehicle maintenance record book and said politely: "Everything is normal. Senior Kawai is a very serious and careful person and has always asked me to keep good records."

Takeshi Nanahara flipped through the pages quickly and asked: "How is Kawai-san getting along with everyone?"

"Very good. Senior Kawai has been working here... for sixteen or seventeen years. He doesn't like to talk much, and he gets along well with everyone."

"Where's Mrs. Chiho?"

"The master trusted him before, and so does the madam now." The vehicle manager said with a very decisive tone, "The eldest lady also likes him very much. He also likes to play with the eldest lady and often makes small handmade toys for the eldest lady. .”

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and asked sideways if anyone in the mansion had heard anyone arguing or seen someone behaving abnormally recently, but he didn't get any valuable information, so he politely thanked him and left.

Qing Jian Liuli recovered now, obviously feeling that the "Lady's Heart Sutra" has been greatly improved. After all, she was able to resist grabbing the bitch Takeshi Nanahara and throwing her against the wall to create a big hole. It was really impressive. Temper your character and think that it will never work if you don't think about it - don't chat with this bastard from now on, only talk about business, otherwise he will be angry to death!

She took notes with a straight face and asked calmly: "Do you think the problem might be with Kawai-san?"

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and said thoughtfully: "After all, there are two people missing. The police are paying attention to Sayuri, but they cannot rule out the possibility that the target is actually Kawai Akihiko. Sayuri is simply implicated."

Qingjian Liuli also felt that this was not impossible, and she followed Takeshi Nanabahara around the mansion for a while, and only found out some trivial gossip that was not worth mentioning, and had nothing to do with the kidnapping case.

In terms of the reputation of Akihiko Kawai, they are basically unanimous. He is a very caring middle-aged uncle. He is calm and reliable in his work. He has no conflicts of interest with others. There is no one who scolds him behind his back. It is hard to imagine that. Someone took a big risk to attack him.

Kidnapping him was out of the question. His income was equivalent to that of a middle-level cadre in an average company. He had some money but not much money. The risks and benefits of kidnapping him were not proportional at all.

It seems that the target of the kidnappers is Sayuri, and it is Akihiko Kawai who suffered the disaster.

The first idea failed. Qingjian Ruri was slightly disappointed, but Takeshi Nanabahara didn't care. He went to check if there were any unusual resignations in the mansion recently. However, the salary and benefits here in the mansion were quite good, and the society was just right. During the economic downturn, no one has resigned in more than a year.

In the end, he walked around Sayuri's room, and found nothing except that the daughter of the Homo family was more traditional in upbringing, and the only daughter's room was decorated in Japanese style. It was a waste of time.

Seeing that Liuli also found nothing, Qing said sadly: "What should we do now? No one has any motive for committing the crime. It seems like an outsider committed the crime."

Takeshi Nanabahara looked at the ceiling and recalled for a moment. He really couldn't find anyone with a motive for the crime, and no one seemed to be cooperating with the crime. He muttered: "Simply asking for money may not be a bad thing for Sayuri. Now we can only see if there will be blackmail." The call came in.”

"A blackmail call?" Qingmi Ruri hesitated, "Sayuri should have been escorted back to the mansion by Kawai-san around one o'clock. The journey was only ten minutes, and she had just taken a nap when she got home. If they were kidnapped not far from the temple, now It's almost nine o'clock, and it's been more than seven hours. The kidnappers should have hidden Kawai-san and Sayuri long ago, right? Aren't the kidnappers anxious? Why haven't they sent any news to blackmail them? "

Takeshi Nanabaru touched his chin and thought: "It's indeed a bit weird, so I thought the problem might lie with Akihiko Kawai, but now the case seems to have nothing to do with him, and the kidnapper is procrastinating like this, it's getting weirder and weirder, I always feel It’s not like a simple kidnapping for ransom.”

Qingjian Liuli frowned and thought hard, wondering what was going on. At this moment, a servant hurriedly pushed the door open and said directly: "Nanahara-san, Qingjian-san, Officer Nakano, please come over immediately."

Oh, said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here? He is really a slow kidnapper. After kidnapping someone, he had a nice meal to celebrate before coming to blackmail him?

Weird, really weird!

Takeshi Nanahara immediately took Ruri Kiyomi to the temporary search headquarters and found that the atmosphere here had become tense. The detectives gathered together and were busy. Chiho Takaramuro looked sad and was crying. Tomoda Yoshikawa handed a handkerchief and spoke warmly, saying Jing Minyan was pulling his hair and cursing uncontrollably.

Takeshi Nanabahara squinted his eyes to observe the situation, walked up to Nakano Eri and asked: "Is there any news?"

Nakano Eri handed him a copy with a heavy face. Because it was copied through the ID bag, the image was a little blurry, but it did not affect the identification. No wonder the kidnapper was so slow. He clearly found a public phone booth to make a blackmail call. As a result, a blackmail letter was sent.

What kind of retro kidnapper is this?

Takeshi Nanahara was even more surprised. While receiving the letter, he asked: "How did you send it here?"

"Packed in a logistics expedited delivery box, it arrived on time at nine o'clock." Nakano Eri also didn't expect the kidnappers to be so cautious. They were afraid that the approximate location would be locked, so they wouldn't even make a call. She sighed, "Senior Oguri has already sent someone. I have traced the logistics information, but it should be difficult to get results."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded understandingly. In order to compete with the post office, sometimes logistics companies would half-sell and half-give away some delivery coupons and the like. Most convenience stores also provide shipping services. The kidnappers only need to put the ransom envelope in the box. It’s very difficult to stick to a delivery coupon that you got from someone knows where, find a convenience store far away from you, and just drop it off at the delivery point.

He could only rely on this blackmail letter. He immediately carefully checked the typed blackmail letter. Qingmi Ruri accompanied him and after looking at it, he exclaimed in a low voice: "Five hundred million yen?"

The kidnapper's request is simple and direct. No cash is required. Chiho Takarato must put diamonds and gems worth 500 million yen, plus five kilograms of gold, into a suitcase in exchange for Sayuri's life. They have a limited time to prepare it before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. , otherwise the vote will be rejected.

There was a short section of threats at the end. The kidnapper said that people like him were very aware of Sayuri's important position in the Homuro household. If Sayuri was to be ripped off, Chiho of the Homuro household would immediately lose the right to supervise the huge industry, and asked her to think clearly about the use of A small amount of money guaranteed to continue prosperity and wealth for decades, but she still turned into a fool who could only stare at the Jinshan Mountain in a daze, and declared that she could go to the police at will. They didn't care. Anyway, they only wanted to see if they could get the ransom. If any of them were kidnapped. If caught, Sayuri will definitely die, so there is no need to take chances.

"What did the police say? Is there any way to deal with it?" Takeshi Nanahara looked through the blackmail letter carefully, and just as he was thoughtful, Doi Toshihiko, the brother-in-law of the treasure room family over there, completely lost control and pulled the little chestnut duck out of the pile of criminal police. Ye, yelled at him, spitting on his face, "Can you guarantee that Sayuri is brought back safely? You guys, please say something! Bastard, have we paid so much tax every year in vain?"

Oguri Kamino was pulled so hard that his tie was twisted, but as a police officer, he could not fight back no matter how excited the victim's family members were. He could only push Doi Toshihiko away and said in a deep voice: "Doi-san, please calm down, the police will do their best. We will do our best to ensure Miss Sayuri’s safe return.”

"How do you guarantee it? What method do you use to guarantee it?" Doi Toshihiko is also very strong. In addition, the alcohol has not faded and he has a lot of brute force. He grabbed Oguri Kamino by the collar and couldn't push it away. As he pulled, Oguri Kamino became even more violent. Embarrassed, he shouted excitedly, "If something happens to Sayuri... if something happens, it will be all over. Can you guys take responsibility?!"

Oguri Yaye was also a little angry, but he really didn't dare to say anything if he could guarantee that the hostages would be rescued. In fact, most kidnapping cases ended with the hostages being ripped apart. It was easy to talk but hard to bear.

Other detectives also began to step forward to help separate the two, and the temporary search headquarters was in a commotion. At this time, Chiho Takarato saw that the police did not dare to make a promise, and the string of fear of losing her daughter finally broke, and she was shaking. Akira stood up and murmured: "Please stop arguing and pay the ransom. I am willing to pay the ransom. As long as my daughter can come back safely, I am willing to pay the ransom, no matter how much it is!"

The more she spoke, the louder she became, and the room soon became quiet. Oguri Kamino opened Toshihiko Doi's hand, calmed down for a moment and said, "If you plan to do this, you can really prepare as much ransom as possible first."

The kidnappers still have to be caught, and the process of paying the ransom is a good tracking opportunity, but the criminals want diamonds, gems, and gold, and they do not rule out the possibility of asking to show them midway. If they want to test the authenticity from a distance, it is always good to prepare some genuine goods, but this Money...of course the police station can't provide it, so the family can only find a way.

Chiho Takarato did not expect the police station to come out. She drowsily calculated the deposits in her account, the cash that could be mobilized in an emergency, and the approximate value of her jewelry. She found that it was not enough. Having assets does not mean that all the money is there. It's a fluid state, so it's a bit difficult for her to come up with 500 million in 12 hours.

But for her now, nothing is more important than rescuing her daughter. If she can establish a relationship of mutual trust with the kidnappers and ensure that they will never rip off the money after receiving the money, she is willing to drive away the police now and give the money to them. , or even adding a few more doesn’t matter.

She immediately looked at Doi Toshihiko and said weakly: "Brother, I don't have enough money at the moment. How much do you have?"

Doi Toshihiko, who was very fierce just now and seemed to want to beat up the incompetent policeman for his niece, suddenly became weak. After all, it is too easy for a meat bun to beat a dog with this money. He hesitated and said: "Well, I haven't been very handy lately..."

"Use mine. I'll pool it together and borrow it, and I should be able to come up with 156 million." Yoshikawa Tomoda said, "My sister also left me some jewelry when she passed away. I should take it apart. It can also be used as part of the ransom.”

Chiho Takaramuro was stunned. She didn’t expect her brother to be unreliable, but Yoshikawa Tomoda was willing to leave her family to help. She had mixed feelings at the moment and choked up and said: "Thank you, thank you, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible... Thank you very much, Yoshikawa-san, thank you very much."

Yoshikawa Tomoda lowered his head sadly and said: "No, I am also responsible for this matter. Before my eldest brother died, I promised him to take good care of Sayuri, and I have always treated her as my own daughter. I didn't expect that something like this would happen. If I can't If you save Sayuri well, I will also... I will not be able to see my elder brother in the future."

What he said was true and sincere, and his shame was palpable. The detectives present couldn't help but cast admiring glances. After all, even if it's to borrow money, it's amazing to be able to help others with a dying request. And at this moment, A technician from the forensics department suddenly shouted excitedly: "Oguri Police Department, a incomplete fingerprint was successfully compared!"

The eyes of everyone in the room immediately moved over. Unexpectedly, the kidnapper accidentally revealed his clues.
