Chapter 44 Establishing a search policy

"Police, you ......"

When everyone returned to the office of the special search department, Miki was a little worried about Lin Xiuyi's situation, so she walked to Lin Xiuyi's side and was about to say a few words of comfort. Who knew that as soon as Lin Xiu saw Miki's figure, he had already seen through her plan.

"Miki-chan, the last victim of the pension case, we didn't contact us last time, right?"

"Huh?...... Last time, I asked the neighbors around me, and I said that the old man seemed to have fallen ill because of the blow...... The police department?"

"Remember which hospital? Let's visit it later! Feel free to make a note of the old man or her family......

"But...... The kidnapping case in Marunouchi ......"

"In that case, there is Shenmu senior, I think there should be no problem!"

Lin Xiuyi smiled at Miki, and then picked up the information of the fraud case without caring and looked at it. And Miki, who originally wanted to say something, saw Lin Xiuyi's disapproving look, so she could only slowly return to her seat.

"With the character of the police department, I will never force anything......

……

"The suspect contacted the HORIPRO office by phone, and the other party claimed that he had kidnapped Ryoma Chiba, a well-known artist from the HORIPRO office. And demanded that the HORIPRO office pay a ransom of 113 million yen, otherwise they would kill Ryojin Chiba. Since a suspected kidnapping was reported to the police shortly after the kidnapping, a suspected kidnapping at Marunouchi Cafe 1894 was reported, so up to now, the mobile search team has basically completed the preliminary search of the crime scene......"

In a certain venue inside the Metropolitan Police Department, the senior management of the Criminal Department was listening to a search report about the time of the kidnapping of the Marunouchi artist. Because there happened to be a reporter present at the time of the crime, and the identity of the kidnapped victim was a well-known male artist in China, it was only a few hours before the kidnapping of the Marunouchi artist received widespread public attention.

"Is there any surveillance footage at the scene?"

"Hey, the surveillance video captured the victim Ryoma Chiba being taken away from the scene. According to our current speculation, the number of suspects involved in this kidnapping should be three or more......"

As the various departments under the Criminal Department reported a series of information on this case. Sato's heart gradually calmed down. At least judging from the information reported by these subordinates, this kidnapping case is not a difficult case without clues. Surveillance footage alone provides critical information.

"In terms of ransom, did the kidnappers give a specific place of delivery?"

"This ...... The kidnappers have not yet revealed this, and the firm claims that it will take time to raise funds, and then the other party hangs up. ”

"What about our people, are they all in place?"

"It's already in place, whether it's the office or Chiba Ryojin's apartment, our people have been set up. In addition, Chiba Ryojin's family is also rushing over from Gifu......"

"Good...... What questions do you have?"

"Counselor!"

Just as the counselor in charge of presiding over the meeting was about to start deploying the next step of the search plan, the head of the seventh department of the first class, Shenmu Police Department, suddenly raised his hand and asked to speak.

"What's the matter?"

"Counsellor...... I'm a little concerned about the amount of the ransom, 113 million yen is really confusing!"

As soon as the Shenmu Police Department said this, the people sitting below also discussed it in whispers.

"In this regard, Minister of Criminal Affairs Sato believes that it is likely that this is a deliberate amount set by the kidnappers, perhaps in order to retaliate against the HORIPRO office, and we have already checked the amount of 113 million yen with the HORIPRO office, but the other party has not yet answered our inquiry. In addition, according to the information we have learned, the victim and his immediate family members have a good financial situation and family background, and they also had a good relationship with the HORIPRO firm before the incident, and there is no motive to blackmail their own firm......"

……

With the brainstorming and discussion of everyone in the venue, a complete set of search plans was gradually determined. Minister Sato nodded to his subordinates with satisfaction, then stood up and said enthusiastically:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the place where this kidnapping took place is only a few kilometers away from Sakurada Gate, and it was in broad daylight that such a well-known artist was kidnapped, and these kidnappers don't seem to take our Metropolitan Police Department seriously, can you who wear the S1S badge every day swallow this breath?"

"Remember, the culprits must be brought to justice!"

"Hey!"

As everyone in the hall stood up except for Masayoshi Sato, and responded loudly to the Minister of Crime, Minister Sato also slowly lowered his head and said gratefully to his subordinates:

"Please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minister Sato immediately left his seat and walked in the direction of the gate, and Counselor Nakazono saw this, hurriedly trotted to the door and opened the door for Minister Sato.

The Shenmu Police Department stood silently in the corner, slowly raised his head and looked at the back of Minister Sato leaving, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

"The evidence sent by Xiu Yijun doesn't seem to have even mentioned it! Could it be that the evidence sent by Xiu Yijun at the risk of being blamed is really an irrelevant thing?"

Although he vaguely felt that the pregnancy test should be the key evidence in his heart, the Shenmu Police Department still suppressed the impulse in his heart when he thought of Minister Sato and Counselor Nakazono who were angry. Turned and left the conference room.

……

"Hurry up and help me get this guy Chiba back, Shuiichi-kun! If he doesn't come, I won't be able to continue filming." ”

Kanako kept pleading with Lin Xiuyi on the phone.

"I'm sorry, but now this case is handled by the Minister of Crime himself, and I can't do anything about it! Moreover, I still have a pension fraud case to deal with, and those old people who have been deceived are also pitiful!"

Lin Xiuyi explained to Kanako a little helplessly on the phone.

"But...... The heroine of this series is Akemi, don't you think about it? As long as you are willing to make a move, you will definitely be able to find Chiba!"

"I'm sorry, I really can't do anything right now, don't worry, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely do its best to find Chiba-kun's whereabouts. Do not say...... I'm going to start visiting the victim now, and we'll talk about it later......"

"Alas...... Okay!
