I'm Goro Otaki, and this is a memoir about a bizarre case back then. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Oh, and this is certainly not the case memories of the bloody, violent, or high-IQ crimes you're expecting.

It's just a very "simple" murder and kidnapping case.

As for why it is necessary to recall such a "simple" case specifically ...

Hehe, because it left such a deep impression on me.

To this day, I still can't forget the free and easy look of that little boy, and the nostalgia for the whole world in his eyes...

――――――

As soon as I arrived at the police station this morning, I received a police call.

Someone called the police to report that a woman's body had been found in a luxury hotel in Naka-ku, Osaka.

According to a hotel employee, she found that the guests in this room had been wearing a "Do Not Disturb" sign since they checked in the day before yesterday.

Today, she felt that something was wrong, and after ringing the doorbell halfway through, there was still no movement inside, so she opened the door of the room without authorization, only to see a woman lying on the bed, long out of breath.

After being notified, we quickly arrived at the scene of the crime.

After investigating the check-in information and hotel surveillance, we quickly identified the suspect and determined that it was a revenge murder case out of affection.

The offender was none other than the victim's boyfriend, an online writer.

It's just a pity that the prisoner had already left the hotel last night and disappeared from the police's view.

Under the command of Minister Ginjiro Nayama, we called in a large amount of surveillance, and finally found the prisoner's whereabouts and captured him as he was about to flee Osaka by car.

When the prisoner was first caught, he did not say a word and did not make any resistance, but when he returned to the police station in the car, he suddenly attacked the police officer who was driving, causing the vehicle to go off the track and hit the guardrail, and then jumped out of the car and fled.

During the pursuit, I was hit by vehicles along the way, and although I was not seriously injured, it caused inconvenience to my arrest operation.

Since the incident occurred near an inaccessible mountain stream, the prisoner crossed the road and ran deep into the mountains to try to play a game of "hide and seek" with us.

Heh, he really underestimated the ability of our Osaka police!

I asked my colleagues to continue the pursuit along the trail, and due to my limited mobility, I slowly followed the large army in the rear, and at the same time contacted the headquarters to deploy and control the periphery of the entire mountain stream.

However, as I slowly walked to follow the pursuit, I met an old friend I hadn't seen in more than a decade.

His name is Kogoro Maori.

――――――

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with the Maori family, I advised them to leave as soon as possible, after all, it was not safe here, especially since the Maori lady and the children were here, and if they encountered a prisoner at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They agreed to my request.

After walking a few steps, I looked back with a feeling and happened to meet a pair of curious eyes.

It was Maori's son, and he seemed to be called Hitomi.

Although it was only a short time, this child left a deep impression on me.

The first time he looked at me, he looked at me with a kind of observation and scrutiny that no child of his age had done - he noticed my wound before Maori and his wife.

And I noticed that his expression was nervous at first, and then it slowly became natural.

I followed his gaze to my waist, which was my police gun.

Ha~ Is it my delusion?

How could such a young child understand so much!

I smiled at him, and he nodded to me, then took his sister's hand and faded away from me.

――――――

It didn't take long for me to finally see my colleagues in front of me.

The prisoner who had escaped from the police was being tied to the ground by them, looking unwilling.

I unconsciously laughed out loud with a "ha", walked up to the prisoner and kicked him hard: "What! Are all web writers as awesome as you?! ”

The prisoner didn't say a word, and I wasn't in the mood to beat him again. Just as I was about to inform the headquarters to withdraw the police force, I received a call from Maori.

Xiaolan is missing.

The girl, who looked like a little angel, was gone.

Maori was afraid that the escaped prisoner had kidnapped Xiaolan, and I told him that the prisoner had just been caught and reassured him. and arranged for the police to help them find Xiaolan's traces together.

But after a while, I received another call from him:

"Officer Otaki, what is the date this prisoner is staying at the hotel?"

"Nani? Oh... It was the day before yesterday. ”

My face was full of doubts, what does the prisoner's check-in time have to do with Xiaolan's disappearance?

Just when I wanted to ask clearly, a little boy's hurried voice came from the phone in my ear: "Uncle Otaki, I'm Hitomi Maori, and now there is a very urgent matter that you need to investigate!" ”

Ah, it's Maori's son, the boy who impressed me.

I heard the boy's voice continue: "I would like to ask you to investigate, yesterday afternoon, there was a middle-aged man in a brown trench coat who checked into the hotel at about the same time as us, and he was characterized by carrying a very large suitcase! ”

The little boy's tone at this time made me suddenly think of my boss, Mr. Ginjiro Toyama, so I unconsciously became serious: "Na, there is no problem with the investigation, but does this have anything to do with Xiaolan's disappearance?" ”

"Because I suspect that this man may also be involved in a case, and my hunch tells me that he has a lot to do with Xiaolan's disappearance! So please, Uncle Otaki! We will continue to look for Xiaolan now, please let us know as soon as you have any news there! With that, the little boy hung up.

Ha! Premonition? It's still a hunch of a schoolboy.

However, I followed Hitomi Mori's words and informed headquarters to investigate the man's information.

And then my whole person was bad...

――――――

Toshio Nakamura, 34 years old, male.

He lost his parents when he was a child, and he has always relied on his sister for his life.

When she grew up, her younger sister Mieko Nakamura married in Tokyo, while Toshio Nakamura stayed in Osaka to marry and have children.

When Nakamura was 30 years old, he was reported to prison and sentenced to four years in prison for an incident in which there were safety hazards in the project.

During this period, his wife remarried with his son and swept away Nakamura's family fortune.

and her younger sister, Mieko Nakamura, died in a traffic accident two years ago.

It is doubtful that Mieko Nakamura was insured by her husband before the accident, and the beneficiary was her husband, who loves gambling, Ryota Naoki!

However, because there is no evidence, and the whereabouts of the driver who hit and killed Mieko are unknown, the police and insurance company can only determine that it was an accident after an inconclusive investigation.

Originally, the matter had already come to an end, and Tokyo was already short of police, and once a case was determined, it was rare for the case to be overturned on its own initiative.

But just last week, Mieko Nakamura's older brother, Toshio Nakamura, was released from prison!

Through investigation, we found that on the third day of Nakamura's release from prison, Ryota Naoki disappeared, although no one reported the case, but according to Ryota Naoki's call records, it has been two full days since his last phone call!

Then the headquarters investigated the whereabouts of Toshio Nakamura and found that he was taking the train to Tokyo the day before yesterday and did not return to Osaka until yesterday.

After a series of evidence collection and investigation, a disappearance, no, it should now be recognized as a murder case, has gradually surfaced, and the person who discovered this case was actually a young boy.

He's only seven years old......

――――――

Not far from the place where Xiaolan disappeared, there is a quiet path.

Maori and the others were on this road, following certain trails at a brisk pace.

"Hitomi-chan, are you telling the truth? Is it really possible that Xiaolan was kidnapped by a prisoner? It was Fei Yingli who spoke, her face was covered with sweat because of the fast running, and she lost her elegance and calmness, and her face was pale.

"No... It may not have been a kidnapping, we were not far from the place where Xiaolan disappeared, but we didn't hear any cries for help from Xiaolan. If my inference is correct, it should be that the prisoner deceived Xiaolan for some purpose and abducted her! ”

Maori nodded: "If you observed correctly yesterday, that man is indeed very problematic. But how can you be sure that Xiaolan's disappearance has something to do with him? And they just walked this road? ”

"It's a trace!" Xiao Hitomi's face was solemn: "That man was carrying a very heavy suitcase, and the dirt on this road had obvious traces of two wheels being crushed!" This... What a coincidence! ”

"Little Hitomi..."Fei Yingli hesitated a little, but still asked: "Why do you know so much?" ”

From childhood to adulthood, his son showed wisdom and calmness that was different from that of children of the same age.

He knows a lot of things that adults don't know, and he can see details that others can't see, but he's only seven years old this year!

"This..."

Mao Li Hitomi hesitated for a while, but finally smiled bitterly: "Mom and Dad, I do have something to hide from you." But believe me, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that it's just too unbelievable. When we find Xiaolan, I'll tell you all the secrets, okay? ”

Maori and Yingli looked at each other and didn't say anything more.

Yes, he is our son. And he still has such a strange disease...

Maybe his intelligence is God's compensation for him.

The two of them looked at the hidden anguish between Xiao Hitomi's eyebrows, and their hearts were fierce...

――――――

Just then, Maori's phone rang.

"Brother Maori, the results of the investigation are out..."

After a long time, Maori put down the phone and looked at Hitomi with a complicated expression: "It's Officer Goro Otaki..."

Looking at his father's expression, Hitomi knew that she had guessed correctly. It's just that such a speculation is established, but there is no joy in my heart.

Xiaolan, you must wait for your brother to save you safely!

―――――――――― the following non-text――――――――――

>

I believe that you must have seen it when you saw this.

Although my writing is not good, I write very carefully.

Because I'm also a fan of fiction, I know how to finish my work, even if it's a fanfiction that is hard to become.

The only thing I regret is that I didn't follow the advice of my seniors and keep the manuscript.

Now it's basically writing every day and sending it every day.

It's really tiring~

Because I quit my job, I have to write a manuscript while opening a Taobao store.

Buying, shipping, advertising and so on every day has exhausted me, and now I have to update more than 3,000 words of novels every day.

But rest assured, I will never take off the update, even if it is late, I will release today's chapter by the early morning of the next day.

So, my update time is generally at night, around eight o'clock to 12 o'clock (usually around eight o'clock), please rest assured~

Finally, in the end, although this is only the seventh chapter, I still have the cheekiness to ask everyone to collect it, because it won't take long to get fat~~~
