My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 26 There is no regret medicine in the world

Before getting off work in the afternoon, the people who searched the first class and the third department visited all the elementary schools in the core six districts.

After verification one by one, the identity of the body was determined.

"Karashi Inoue, female, 10 years old, lives in 2-chome, No. 5, Yoneka Town, and is a fifth grader at Teitan Elementary School." Miwako Sato took the information and read out: "I checked the photo with the teacher of Teitan Elementary School, and it is certain.

But according to the teacher at Didan Elementary School, not only today, the victim has not gone to school for three days, but his parents have asked for leave."

The Mumu Police Department frowned upon hearing this, and then asked: "Have her parents been contacted?"

"The other party's parents have been notified, and the other party is on their way here now." Sato Miwako said: "According to my communication with them on the phone, it turns out that the victim was kidnapped three days ago on his way to a cram school after school.

The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 30 million yen from the victim's parents and asked them not to call the police. If they were found to call the police, they would immediately break the law.

Mr. Inoue runs a company, and his family's financial situation is good, so he can afford the ransom. Therefore, he did not call the police. He raised 30 million yen yesterday and placed it at the designated spot by the kidnappers. The kidnappers took the money, but kept their promise.

Faithlessness kills its victims.”

Yoneka Town 2-chome is near the home of Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Agasa. It is indeed a large single-family villa. The people living there are indeed rich people who can afford 30 million yen.

high ransom.

"Let's do this for now, wait until the victim's parents arrive." The Megure Police Department then ordered: "Sato, the victim's parents will arrive later, and you can take Aoki-kun to greet them."

"Yes!" Miwako Sato and Matsu Aoki answered in unison.

The investigation cannot be rushed. Now that new information has been updated, it is natural to wait for the victim's parents to come to the Metropolitan Police Department, talk to them in detail, and determine new clues and new investigation directions before conducting the investigation.

It didn't take long for Inoue and his wife to come. Mrs. Inoue was crying like a tear. When she saw Aoki Song and the two of them, she was still crying, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

... Wuwu... I should have picked her up after school and accompanied her to the tutoring class. I shouldn't have let her go alone... Wuwu... It's all my fault... Wuwu..."

"Madam, please express your condolences... Please go to the morgue to confirm whether the female body is your wife's," Miwako Sato said.

The most important thing now is to determine the true identity of the body.

Although the teachers from Tedan Elementary School have already confirmed it, there are people who look very similar in this world, so the Inoue couple still need to confirm it.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Inoue supported his wife, who was extremely weak because she was heartbroken when she learned that her daughter had been raped by the kidnappers. "Sawako, please stop crying. The police officer is right. Let's go to the morgue to confirm first."

What if it’s not their daughter?

But Mr. Inoue didn't dare to say this when he saw his wife like this.

If it gives hope but ends up making people despair, the blow will probably be even greater.

Miwako Sato and Matsu Aoki led the two of them to the morgue, explained the situation to the relevant police officers, and then let the Inoue couple in.

Then……

A cry that was so painful that it was difficult to describe in words came out, "Huali...my Huali...wuwu...it's all my mother's fault...it's all my mother's fault..."

…

After a while, Mrs. Inoue stopped crying with the comfort of Mr. Inoue and Sato Miwako.

Seeing that Mrs. Inoue's mood had stabilized, Miwako Sato and Matsu Aoki invited them to a small conference room next to the Office of the Search Section 1 and began to inquire about their situation.

After Miwako Sato and Matsu Aoki made a brief self-introduction to the Inoue couple respectively.

Opening the notebook and looking at the two of them, Sato Miwako said: "Mr. Inoue and Mrs. Inoue, before I start asking you for details, please tell me about your daughter's kidnapping from the beginning."

"Okay!" Mr. Inoue responded, then held Mrs. Inoue's hand and encouraged her.

"I am a full-time housewife. I used to take Huali to and from school, but starting from this year, Huali feels that she has grown up and refuses to let me pick her up anymore. She has to go to and from school by herself.

Didan Elementary School is very close to my home, and there are many pedestrians on the road, and I couldn't resist her, so I agreed. Who would have thought..." Mrs. Inoue was about to cry again as she spoke.

Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Inoue patted her hand and gave her strength. Mrs. Inoue resisted the urge to shed tears in her eyes, and continued: "Three days ago, it was the same as before. I didn't notice anything.

What's the difference.

Three days ago was the day when she went to cram school. In the past, she would go directly from school to the cram school after school, and then study for two hours. Hua Li would usually arrive home around 6:30. But three days ago, Hua Li went to the cram school at 7 p.m.

When I still didn't come back, I realized something was wrong.

Then we received a call from the kidnappers, asking us to prepare a ransom of 30 million yen, and warning us not to call the police, otherwise they would kill Huali."

When she said this, Mrs. Inoue couldn't bear it anymore, tears fell from her eyes, she buried her head in her husband's arms, covered her mouth and started crying again.

"I also know what happens next, so let's talk about it!" Mr. Inoue said. Seeing that Miwako Sato and Matsu Aoki didn't object, he said: "After I returned home, Sawako told me about it. Originally, I

Be prepared to call the police.

But Sawako stopped me and said that there were four people on the other side. After calling the police, if the police couldn't catch them all, they might die. Although 30 million yen is a large sum of money, it would be a big blow to my family if it was taken out.

It won't hurt your muscles or bones.

At Sawako's begging, I did not call the police and prepared to pay the ransom and keep the other party secret. Who would have thought..." At this moment, the corners of the man's eyes were moist, and his face was filled with regret.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

The choice you make, even if the ground is littered with broken glass, you have to finish it on your knees.

"Yesterday, we followed the kidnapper's instructions, packed the ransom in a travel bag, and threw it in a trash can at 4-chome. We didn't dare to stay and monitor the kidnapper. After we came back, we waited all night and didn't receive any more calls from the kidnappers.

Huali didn't come back after calling her.

I felt a little uneasy at the time, but I was just taking a chance. We didn't know until Officer Sato called us..." Mr. Inoue choked up as he spoke.

Only then did I know...that my daughter had been killed.
