At night, when a black light truck slowly pulled up to a clearing on the bank of the Sumida River, a few blinding rays of light flashed in the silence of the night opposite.

With the sound of the car door closing, Shoji Kuroda slowly raised his hands and slowly stepped out of the car. Immediately after, he stood in place and silently waited for the other party's response.

When the lights in the distance gradually went out, there were several more sounds of the car doors closing on the opposite side. Immediately afterwards, several men in suits began to slowly approach Kuroda Shoji, until the distance between the two sides was enough to see each other's faces clearly, and the group that got out of the car lowered his voice and asked in a vigilant tone:

"Are you Mr. Shoji Kuroda? What do we want? You brought them all!"

"Let me see Miss Saori first! If I don't see her, you don't want to see those things. ”

"You old fellow......"

……

Seeing that Shoji Kuroda was not the kind of layman who could be dismissed with just a few words, those people couldn't help but feel annoyed and angry. However, seeing that this unfriendly meeting was about to collapse, the other party quickly softened his tone and said:

"Mr. Kuroda, we just want those things back, and if you agree, we can not only give you a sum of money, but also give you back the woman, provided that you make sure that those things are not leaked to anyone......"

"Let Sakuraba-sama's daughter ...... first"

……

Seeing that Shoji Kuroda didn't see oil and salt in his eyes, the group couldn't help but say to Shoji Kuroda with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey, don't be ignorant!"

……

Just when those people walked over and wanted to make a move, Kuroda just smiled, and then said to the group in an indifferent tone:

"You guys, don't you even know who I am! Don't you know how to lift up? Do you really think that if you catch me, you can get those things back? I know with you that if I really give you something, then it will be called self-defeating!"

"You...... What do you want to ......?"

"Take me to see Miss Saori first, if I can't be sure of her safety, in half an hour, the things you have been trying to get back will be immediately released on the Internet, and when the time comes...... I see what you are talking to your master......"

……

Seeing that Shoji Kuroda said these words against the guest. The guys who kidnapped Saori Sakuraba suddenly didn't know what to do. For a man who has escaped from the Tokyo Detention Center, participated in anti-government guerrillas in Colombia, and even confronted the Metropolitan Police Department head-on, these unseemly guys are indeed difficult to handle.

After hesitating for a while, one of the men in the lead of those guys nodded, then gave an exaggerated salute to Heitian Shoji, and then made a gesture to please get into the car. Seeing the other party's reaction, Kuroda knew that his threat had worked, so he slowly left his car under the coercion of the gang, and then got into another car.

As soon as they got into the car, the men handed a black hood to Shoji Kuroda. After Kuroda took it, he understood that the other party didn't want to know the specific location where Saori Sakuraba was being held, so he cooperated and put the hood on his head. Immediately after, he felt the car start slowly and move away from where he had been.

When the car had been driving for an unknown amount of time, Kuroda suddenly heard the sound of the sea. But just as he was still hesitating about where he was taken, the car slowly stopped and quickly ...... Someone helped Kuroda remove the hood from his head, and while he adjusted to the feeling of his eyes, he was taken to an empty room.

When the iron door of the house was slowly opened, a woman's voice was heard in the room.

"Who the hell are you guys and why are you arresting me!"

"Excuse me...... Are you Saori Sakuraba?"

Seeing that the woman was blindfolded and tied to a pillar, Shoji Kuroda couldn't help but ask the other party with some uncertainty:

"You...... Who are you, why do you know my name, my child, my child?

"Don't worry, your child is being well cared for by the police right now......"

"You're a cop? You're ...... Why are you arresting me, I ......"

"Don't be afraid, the person who arrested you is not the police, I am just that you were instructed by your father to let you see him for the last time...... That's right...... I'm afraid you don't know it yet, your father...... He had pancreatic cancer...... The time is now...... It's not much!"

"Father, did you arrest me because of my father? Why...... I finally got to where I am now, I don't want a father, let me go!"

Seeing Saori's emotions suddenly become agitated, the men who kidnapped him immediately scolded her, but Kuroda stopped them, and then he continued to say to Saori Sakuraba in a kind tone:

"I see, maybe you really have a deep hatred for your father, but ...... He really doesn't have much to live now, and I just beg you, for ...... In the past, I was able to give a guy who was about to die a little warmth. Please!"

……

Seeing that Saori Sakuraba gradually calmed down, Kuroda Shoji said to these people present:

"I need to make a phone call with my friend...... When I'm done with this call, I'll give you everything you want!"

I don't know if those people cast a mouse bogey at Shoji Kuroda, or if they were really moved by compassion because of Kuroda's words, those people actually really agreed to Kuroda's request, and then, Kuroda slowly took out a mobile phone from his clothes, and then dialed the function of video call.

……

When Sakuraba Saori felt that the veil on her eyes was slowly removed, she tried to adapt to the brightness of the light, and then, she saw a man about fifty years old holding a mobile phone to herself, and on the phone, a patient who was thin as a handful of bones was lying on the bed with an excited expression.

"Dad...... Daddy!"

Saori Sakuraba looked at the man in the picture with tears in her eyes, and even though she hadn't seen her for many years, she still recognized the person on the phone at a glance as her father.

"Woo!"

With a gentle call, Sakuraba Goro used all his strength to squeeze out a smile in the picture, but unfortunately, for a moment, Sakuraba Goro couldn't control the pain.
