"Suzu~~~~"

As the phone rang on the desk, Officer Kato, the head of the HORIPRO office, first signaled Shingo Oda, the president of the HORIPRO office, not to answer in a hurry, until he pressed the recording button on the device and put the earphones to his ear, and then Kato motioned to President Oda to pick up the receiver.

"Moses Moses!"

"Is it the president of the HORIPRO office?"

"Hey!"

"All the money we want is ready!"

"This ...... Can you let me listen to Chiba-kun's voice first, otherwise how can I believe that Chiba is in your hands?"

"Hmm...... Bring him here, and the president wants to hear his voice!"

"Let me go!Please let me go!Woo~~"

As another voice came from the earpiece, Kato immediately looked at President Oda, waiting for the other party to confirm whether the voice belonged to Chiba Ryojin. President Oda nodded without hesitation, and the voice from just now came from the earpiece.

"Did you hear it clearly, now you can rest assured that the money will be in our hands, right?"

The kidnapper said to President Oda with some impatience.

Just when President Oda didn't know how to reply, Officer Kato suddenly handed a note to President Oda.

"I'm sorry, but the money is still a little bit short, and it will take some time for the bank to prepare for the sudden use of so much money, and in addition, I need to get the authorization and approval of the board of directors......"

"You dare to fool me, right? With such a big company, can't you even take out 100 million yen? If you don't have money, you just wait to see Ryo Chiba's corpse!"

"Sorry...... However, the process of the club is like this, even though I am the president, if I suddenly need to use a large amount of money, I still need the authorization of the board of directors......

President Oda tried his best to stall for time, while Kato, who was standing on the sidelines, kept staring at the computer screen in front of the technician.

"How long will it take to locate a specific location?"

Kato glanced at President Oda a little nervously, and then anxiously asked the technician in the forensic section.

"It's about five minutes!"

"Please hurry!"

"Hey!"

……

"Excuse me...... When the money is ready, how do I get it to you?"

"I put the money in a travel bag and sent it to Arai Yakushi Park in Nakano Ward. Remember, you can only send Chiba Ryojin's agent over, if I see the police or someone else, the deal between us will be canceled, and you can wait to see Chiba Ryojin's body......"

Just when President Oda wanted to delay a few more words, the other party suddenly hung up the phone. After Kato heard a busy sound coming from the headphones, he immediately couldn't wait to ask his colleagues in the forensics class:

"How's it going, have you traced the exact location?"

"Sorry...... It can only be traced to the area where the Nerima and Nakano areas meet. As for the specific location, the time is still too short!"

"Damn!"

Kato put down the headset in his hand with some anger, and then immediately reported the situation here to the Metropolitan Police Department's search headquarters.

……

"Are you hiding in the Nakano and Nerima area? The place of the transaction is set at Arai Yakushi Park! Immediately notify a class and let them make arrangements in Arai Yakushi Park, and if they encounter a prisoner who comes to get money, they will immediately arrest the other party. ”

"Hey!"

With the explanation of the counselor of Zhongyuan, several persons in charge of the search section involved in this case hurriedly bowed their heads and responded. After the counselor waved his hand and let everyone leave, the Shenmu Police Department saw the opportunity, cautiously came to the counselor's side, and quietly mentioned the matter of the pregnancy test stick.

"Counselor, we don't seem to have considered the evidence sent by Xiu Yijun before! Look, should we send it to the forensic class first, and let the colleagues of the forensic class be responsible for investigating it!"

Hearing Shenmu mention the pregnancy test stick sent by Lin Xiuyi again, Counselor Nakazono remembered that he was slapped in public by Minister Sato. The counselor's face flushed, and then he said to the Shenmu Police Department with some dissatisfaction:

"Shenmu-kun, are you also planning to humiliate me?"

"Ah...... I just think that the Lin Police Department is also a good hand in solving cases, and since it is something he sent, we should pay attention to it!"

Seeing that the counselor's face was not good, and Shenmu's predecessor couldn't say anything more, he bowed deeply to the counselor of Zhongyuan, hoping that the other party would not misunderstand his words. The counselor of the middle garden nodded to the Shenmu Police Department, and then instructed him with a cold face:

"You Seventh Department will go and take charge of the affairs of Arai Yakushi Park, once the kidnappers come to collect the ransom, you will immediately catch each other and don't let the other party run away, understand?"

"Hey...... We will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Shenmu Senior bowed his head again and assured the counselor of the middle garden.

Just after the kidnappers made a second phone call, both HORIPRO, the office to which Ryoma Chiba belongs, and the police officer in charge of the case from the Metropolitan Police Department, suddenly became busy.

The 11113 million yen banknotes sent from the bank are being numbered and marked by colleagues in the Identification Division. Each banknote is coated with a special paint that only fluoresces when illuminated by a specific wavelength of light. This is not only to facilitate the police to trace the whereabouts of these banknotes after the fact, but also to facilitate the police's evidence collection work after the suspect is caught.

Just when the police were busy, President Oda came to Officer Kato with Ryoma Chiba's agent, Masakazu Hisakabe.

"Officer Kato!"

"Ah...... President Oda!"

"This is Mr. Kusakabe, Ryoshi Chiba's agent!"

"Oh...... Fortunately, I will be glad to be!"

After everyone was polite, Officer Kato immediately sent President Oda away, and it was only then that he asked Mr. Hisakabe solemnly:

"Mr. Hisakabe, the kidnappers have designated you to pay the ransom this time. Wait a minute, our guys will arrange things for you to do in a moment, and besides, we'll need to put a listener on you!"

"There's no problem, being able to do my part for Chiba-kun at a time of crisis can somewhat alleviate the guilt in my heart. This time, after all, it was because I didn't fulfill my duty as an agent to Chiba-kun!"

Mr. Kusakabe said with a little shame, he raised his head, glanced at the policemen present, and then asked everyone with some confusion:

"Excuse me...... A police officer named Lin Shuichi once found me and asked me something about Chiba-kun, why didn't I see him?"
