I'm Not a Detective

At 8:45, after a busy night, the ransom was finally ready. Diamonds and gems worth 500 million yen were put into two small bags, and five kilograms of gold were put into a high-quality black briefcase.

The employees of the bank, insurance company and jewelry store left to rest. Chiho Takaramuro was guarding the briefcase and worried about her young daughter, crying silently again, while Yoshikawa Tomoda sat beside her and comforted her, encouraging her to cheer up. , be strong enough to get through this difficult time.

Doi Toshihiko was also with him, but Chiho Takaramuro rarely answered his words, which made him look a little bitter. It seemed that he refused to pay for his niece's danger, which hurt the relationship between the brother and sister a lot.

Oguri Kamino, Nakano Eri and other detectives gathered around a whiteboard to discuss various plans, imagining what kind of ransom delivery method the kidnappers would propose, and organized multiple reserve teams to be ready to deal with any sudden accidents - this is a major case This important case has gathered almost all the criminal investigation forces that the Hirano Police Station can currently mobilize. They must risk the reputation of the police station to save Sayuri, and there must be no room for failure!

They had a heated discussion. With nothing to do, Takeshi Nanahara sneaked into the kitchen, made a few small sandwiches, and brewed a pot of tea. He and Ruri Qingmi hid aside to eat, watching this tense scene with interest. , by the way, I asked the housekeeper about the previous wife of the Baoshi family, what her surname was, and which family she came from.

Soon after, the grandfather clock in the large living room rang the hour, and the atmosphere in the living room became even more tense. After a while, the kidnapper's second blackmail letter was finally delivered by logistics.

When it came time to pay the ransom, everyone immediately looked at the ransom note and found that the kidnapper's instructions were very simple. Chiho Takarato was required to rush to Tsunicho Station with the ransom before 9:25 and use the phone that came with the letter. Key, open locker No. 117. There are instructions for the next step and several requirements.

This locker can only be opened by Chiho Takaramuro. If anyone else opens it, Sayuri will die;

It must be opened before nine twenty-five, otherwise Sayuri will die;

No police are allowed to follow her. If police are found to be following her, Sayuri will still die.

"Tsunichi Station, 9:25..." Chiho Takaramuro held the key and was a little confused. She rarely took the train and was not familiar with the station. She immediately looked at Oguri Kamino. Last night, Oguri Kamino I had a long conversation with her and reviewed the kidnapping cases I had dealt with, which showed that even if you fully cooperate with the kidnappers, the hostages usually do not end well. Finally, I persuaded her and made her promise to obey the arrangements and instructions of the police as much as possible.

"It's about twenty minutes' drive from here. You can get there in ten minutes if you drive faster. You have to leave immediately, but don't worry about anything. We will always follow you and keep in touch with you at any time." Oguri Yaye didn't expect that. The kidnapper chose this method to avoid conveying instructions to the police. As he spoke, he waved his hand and told his men to prepare a vehicle immediately. By the way, he checked the communication device and tracker tied to Chiho Takaramuro's body again, and he began to frown and think.

Chiho Takaramuro is a delicate and frail woman, and she hasn’t driven a car in a long time. It seems a bit difficult for her to drive all the way to Tsunimachi Station in a fast car. It’s also a bit dangerous to deliver the ransom alone. Should she do it? Let a criminal policeman dress up as a driver to take her there?

In case the kidnappers become suspicious, or there is really a mole in the mansion secretly tipping off the news...

He was weighing the pros and cons there and couldn't make a decision for a while. Yoshikawa Tomoda seemed to see his dilemma and whispered softly from the side: "Ms. Suiko hasn't driven for a long time. She may not be able to arrive on time. Let me send her there. I He is also a member of the Houshi family and is Sayuri’s uncle, so there should be no problem.”

Time waits for no one. It is almost nine ten now. Xiaoli Yaye saw him volunteering and did not violate the kidnapper's request. Even if the kidnapper just thought he was an eyesore, he could give him instructions to leave without being irritated. If you want to vote, it is indeed a good choice. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Yoshikawa-san, please pay attention to safety, follow the instructions of the police, and don't act rashly."

"I understand, I want Sayuri to return safely more than anyone else." Yoshikawa Tomoda nodded heavily, his expression very determined.

Chiho Takarato was also relieved. She was not afraid of taking risks to save her daughter, but let her go on her own... She was also worried that she would not be able to handle it and accidentally killed her daughter. Now Yoshikawa Tomoda is willing to share the burden for her. It's the best.

At this time, the vehicle was ready, and the two men immediately rushed to Tsunicho Station carrying a briefcase worth more than 500 million yen.

…………

The kidnappers wanted to collect the ransom, so the police naturally couldn't wait and were already prepared. Xiaoli Yaye gave an order into the walkie-talkie, and there were several groups of people near the manor, driving various vehicles prepared overnight, disguised as People such as farm delivery drivers, office workers, and motorcycle delivery people may rush to Tsunimachi Station in advance to provide control, or they may follow the vehicles of Chiho Takaramuro and Tomoda Yoshikawa from a distance, or they may go hand in hand across a street, ready to go at any time. Prepare for a roundup.

Nakano Eri is a member of the emergency reserve team. After all, she has little actual combat experience. Oguri Kamino can't trust her, so she hangs far behind another group of people with Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi to receive information through the police radio. The buttocks of Chiho Muroto and Tomoda Yoshikawa's cars were not visible.

The same goes for her direct subordinates. Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji followed her, and could only see the butt of her car.

At 9:24, with the help of Yoshikawa Tomoda, Chiho Takaramuroto rushed to the locker No. 117 at Tsunimachi Station with many dangers, shook her hands and opened the lock with the key, and took out a piece of printing paper. Then his face turned pale, he said something to Yoshikawa Tomoda, turned around and walked to the women's restroom only a few steps away.

Nakano Eri couldn't see it, but she had a higher level and could directly hear the exchange between Oguri Kamino and Takaramuro Chiho through the police radio. At this moment, Takaramuro Chiho was repeating the kidnapper's latest request in a low voice- One kilogram of gold, no matter what size of gold she prepared, threw one kilogram into the trash can in the women's restroom, then went directly to buy a ticket, took the next tram to Nagahi Town, opened another locker, and missed the bus If she doesn't obey the instructions, Sayuri will die.

Oguri Kamino had no choice but to temporarily follow the kidnapper's request, but he didn't dare to leave a kilogram of gold at the station, and he didn't dare to send someone to retrieve it as soon as Chiho Takarato left, so he could only leave it behind. The two of them stared at each other, and continued to follow whoever picked up the gold - not even daring to catch him, because if this was a test by the kidnappers, it would be all over.

As for Chiho Takaramuroto, thanks to Yoshikawa Tomoda's help in buying a ticket, she narrowly escaped catching the train with his drag. Holding her briefcase tightly, she was squeezed all the way to Nagahi Town and opened the storage box again. locker, and received new instructions, once again throwing a kilogram of gold into the trash can next to the locker.

The number of police personnel was reduced by 2, and then again. The number of police tracking personnel was reduced again. When they arrived at the next station, the kidnappers simply ordered Chiho Takarato to throw the gold on the ground. Passers-by were shocked on the spot, although no one was crazy. They robbed them in public, but it was inevitable to watch them, which caused quite a commotion.

Oguri Kamino had to allocate more police forces to monitor the whereabouts of the gold, but at the next stop, the kidnappers went too far and asked Chiho Toshito to scatter more than a dozen fine diamonds on the station platform, and shouted twice. "These diamonds are for everyone" caused a larger-scale riot. In the chaos, the kidnapper's request was very urgent. Chiho Takaramuro and Tomoda Yoshikawa had no time to care about what was behind them and had to rush to the next target. point.

At this point, things are a bit messy here in Oguri Yaye. They have driven and chased the tram several times in a row. The police tracking team has been torn apart. Some truck drivers are still at the previous stop, and they are even hanging in the treasure room in casual clothes. Two of the detectives behind Tochiho were squeezed out. On the contrary, Nakano Eri's car was good enough, and he got ahead as he got closer, and now he became the first echelon behind Tochiho Tomo.

She frowned, listening to the chaotic calls on the police radio to verify the location, and said in a serious tone: "What a cunning kidnapper, things are in trouble."

Qingjian Liuli encountered this kind of thing for the first time. Even if he was just listening, his heartbeat was about to break 100. He asked sadly: "Could the kidnapper have discovered that the police are following him?"

If she were a kidnapper, she would definitely have been secretly observing Chiho Homuroto at a certain station, or even every other station. With the police in such a mess, the possibility of revealing a flaw is extremely high - monitoring the whereabouts of the gold. The criminal police may arouse suspicion, and the plainclothes detective who followed Chiho Takaramuro from a distance during the riot scene is even more likely to arouse suspicion. It is even said that the kidnappers have now discovered that Chiho Takaramuro has not obeyed the instructions, and it is not unreasonable to bring the police to pay the ransom. possible.

Nakano Eri adjusted her glasses, flashed a "helpless" white light, and remained silent. She also felt something was not good. She felt that the job was about to fail. After a moment, she looked in the rearview mirror and asked Takeshi Nanabahara: "Is there anything I can do, Mr. Nanahara? Can you sense anything?"

Now she was hoping that Takeshi Nanahara would be a true psychic as she thought. Takeshi Nanahara listened to the trembling voice of Chiho Takaramuro on the radio and the faintly audible sound of relief from Yoshikawa Tomoda, stroking his chin and laughing. Said: "Calm down, Miss Nakano, let's see the final result first. They are a little behind now."

"Can't make it?" Nakano Eri quickly listened to the call on the radio and found that after more than two hours of tossing back and forth between trains, Chiho Takaramuro and Kawayoshi Tomoda had already run to the outskirts of the city and were now trying to transfer to the bus. They followed the instructions to catch up. Go to the next location, but because the kidnappers are too tight every time, there is only one minute before the bus departure time, and they are still running wildly on the road.

Will paying the ransom fail? What about Sayuri?

There is no way to round up the kidnappers!

Nakano Eri and Qingmi Ruri listened nervously to the news that was constantly coming from the radio. Finally, someone came to their senses. A criminal policeman riding a motorcycle arrived in a car and had a small scratch with the bus that had just left the station, delaying time. Only then did Yoshikawa Tomoda drag Chiho Takaramuro to catch the bus.

But the time was still delayed a lot. After all, Chiho Takaramuro couldn't really run fast. The walk from the tram stop to the bus stop made her look pale and even more pitiful. It was all thanks to Yoshikawa Tomoda to hold on.

This delay had a considerable chain reaction. The bus could not pick up speed on the twists and turns of the mountain road. Even if Yoshikawa Tomoda promised a high reward, it was of no use. The bus had already reached the kidnapper's request before it reached the destination. arrival time.

It was completely too late, and everyone was at a loss. As Chiho Takaramuro gave a slightly choked exclamation, Yoshikawa Tomoda could no longer wait for the bus to circle on the mountain road, and jumped off the bus directly, holding the pretending The ransom briefcase rushed out of the mountain road and rolled down the steep slope. The bus took several minutes to go around and rolled over in more than ten seconds. Then he stood up in embarrassment and rushed to the center of a bridge with blood on his face. He looked down at the ground. Without hesitation, he lifted the briefcase and threw it under the bridge.

All the gold in the briefcase had been thrown away all the way. The diamonds and gems didn't weigh much and were almost empty. They made a big splash on the river and drifted away along the rushing river in the blink of an eye. Just disappeared.
