Chapter 196: Clues (2-in-1)

With such a judgment, it is naturally not a random guess.

After all, last night, Tang Ze studied the information of Ueno Hirayama's life and past overnight.

For this man in his forties, Tang Ze relied on the other party's experience and past words and deeds to establish an impression label for this man in his mind.

Calm and rational, he has experienced wars, and he also has excellent military theories and sufficient judgment of the overall situation.

If such a guy really wants to get the ransom, then he will definitely not spread the video on the Internet without any benefit.

Because he knew that it would only strengthen the other party's determination to annihilate him, so if it was a plan he had established, he would definitely negotiate and trade quietly and secretly.

And now, the video is well known to everyone on the Internet, and even TV stations are reporting on it, completely ruining the possibility of the transaction.

And even the location of the transaction has been explained, even if it is not wise to ask for a helicopter.

After all, gangsters generally want to get the ransom, and most of them will temporarily notify you to send the ransom before the transaction, and they will constantly change the route and so on in the middle, in order to get rid of the pursuers as soon as possible after getting the ransom.

And now, knowing that you have forced the other side to exterminate yourself, and you have to choose a good location to prepare for the other side?

If a helicopter comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on it.

And when Tang Ze based on this judgment, the thought of "this series of masterminds is not Ueno Hirayama" flashed in his mind.

Maybe the image of the clown who abducted the child was too impressive, and after subconsciously having the idea that the mastermind was not Ueno Hirayama.

Tang Ze suddenly discovered that the gangster's actions now are like clowns, funny and funny, but in the funny, there is a dark darkness full of malice.

This reminded him of DC's Kanban villain "The Joker", and while it's not that crazy, there's something about that mentality.

After informing the two of them some of his thoughts and judgments, Takagi said with a solemn face: "If it is said that Ueno Hirayama is just a cover for the mastermind... The prisoner's real goal..."

"It's two billion in cash!" Tang Ze said slowly: "It's just that the horror is not the ransom that is demanded, but has another goal."

Hearing this, Miwako Sato suddenly looked at Tang Ze, and said with a serious gaze: "I remember that when I investigated Heiwa Masaharu's house, there was a set of itineraries written in a notebook, right?"

So Heiwa Masaharu is suspected of investigating someone's whereabouts? And two billion cash can be taken from that person!?

"I don't rule it out." Tang Ze could not deny it.

Although he didn't believe Tang Ze's train of thought before, combined with the clues collected before, Officer Takagi and the two had to believe that there was indeed this possibility.

If you have doubts, then look them up.

If that profession is the most thorough, then criminal law is definitely the top profession among them.

However, just as Tang Ze was about to assign the task, Tang Ze received a call from Uncle Dengmi.

"Moximoxi? Uncle Dengmi, did you find anything over there? After connecting the phone, Tang Ze went directly to the topic and asked.

"In the previous investigation, the information left by the prisoner who accidentally encountered him on the way to escape has all been collected and investigated."

Denmi replied on the other end of the phone, "There is not much information left, first of all, according to the identification of the bullets, it was found that the prisoner used a 40-caliber pistol. ”

"Huh?" Now Tang Ze felt strange.

He remembered very clearly that when Dr. Asa was at Dr. Asasa's house before, when he and Conan discussed the criminal case of shooting and killing on the news, he remembered that the prisoner also used a forty-caliber pistol.

The data of these two unrelated cases was the same at this point, which immediately made Tang Ze have a different idea.

"Uncle Dengmi, I remember the case of attacking and killing the criminal some time ago, and the prisoner also used this caliber pistol, right? Please compare the ballistic traces of the bullets in the two cases. ”

"Do you suspect that the case was also done by Ueno Hirayama?" Deng Mi couldn't help but be shocked on the other end of the phone.

"It's just that there are suspicions, and there is no tangible evidence yet, so please trouble Uncle Dengmi, you are tired." Tang Ze opened his mouth and thanked him.

"What's this, it's our job to compare the evidence, and the evidence is meant to be confirmed." Deng Mi said unconcernedly.

After that, he informed Tang Ze of another item they had found in the car, and he didn't know if it was useful.

In the car where the prisoner had escaped, they found a photograph of a fishing boat parked at the pier.

Although I don't know if it's useful, Deng Mi still magnified it, and was ready to let Tang Ze come back to see if he could find anything.

"I know, I'll go back to you when I'm done investigating."

Tang Ze hung up the phone, and immediately looked at Miwako Sato and said, "Next, let's go separately, I want you to investigate the past of this person."

Officer Takagi and I went to the mobile coffee stall where Masaharu Heiwa used to work to inquire about the situation. ”

"No problem, then I'll go first!"

Miwako Sato replied crisply, then stepped on the accelerator, and in the roar of the engine, the red car turned into flames and disappeared into the traffic.

………

"I guess it was only about a month ago that I resigned peacefully."

In the middle of the park, in front of the mobile coffee hut.

The waiter said while making coffee for Tang Ze and the two: "I talked to him about the relationship when I took over, and I don't know anything else." ”

"So how long has this one been working here?" Takagi asked.

"Ahh He's pretty old... has been working regularly in the park, and the company is ready to promote him to a nearby store as a store manager. ”

The waiter thought for a moment and said, "It's been about six or seven years..."

"It's been so long..."

While thinking, Tang Ze looked around at his surroundings and looked at the place where Heiwa Masaharu had worked for six or seven years.

It is a simple park, surrounded by tall buildings, and the most conspicuous one on the left is a building with the "ASP" logo on the top floor, which is composed of glass, and reflects the sky beautifully.

"Your coffee is ready."

"Ah, thank you."

After taking the coffee, Tang Ze turned around and handed it to Takagi next to him, and then just as he was about to take his coffee, he inadvertently glanced at the post-it note attached to the wall in the hut.

【MegaD, 7 servings of coffee with milk】

This record is recorded in exactly the same format as the one that Heiwa Masaharu recorded in his notebook!

"Sorry, what does this MegaD mean?" Tang Ze pointed to the post-it note on the wall and immediately asked.

"Ah, we always have regulars here, too."

The waiter smiled and replied, "MegaD is the abbreviation of a nearby eyeglass discount store chain, and I often come back to buy coffee before closing. ”

And this information lifted Tang Ze's spirits.

Because this basically proves that Heiwa Masaharu is indeed investigating someone's trajectory!

And the other party may be his real goal!

After receiving this favorable information, Takagi immediately went to MegaD to conduct relevant inquiries.

And Karasawa was also going to go together, but he received a call from Miwako Sato halfway, so he changed his attention and investigated separately from Officer Takagi.

After Miwako Sato's investigation in the Life Safety Division, it was discovered that Masaharu Peace's father was a homeless man.

Before Heiwa Masaharu went to elementary school, he disappeared because he owed a large sum of money, became a homeless man, and died in the park seven years ago.

And because Heiwa Masaharu's father wanted his family to know about his death, there was a message about his family in his belongings.

However, because Masaharu Hirata's mother had remarried, when the body was confirmed, only Masaharu Herawa went alone.

And it was also from that time that Masaharu Heiwa learned that his father would occasionally appear in the park where he worked.

And after Tang Ze learned about this situation, he immediately thought of the photo he had seen in the other party's house before, and the scene in it was like a place in the park.

After getting information from Miwako Sato's investigation, he thought that maybe the place in the photo was the place where Masaharu Heiwa's father once lived.

Otherwise, that photo won't be the only one in the other person's home.

Maybe it's because that's where my father once lived, so I cherish it so much and take it as a souvenir.

After some inquiry, Tang Ze unexpectedly found the open-air building with a triangular roof in the photo on the other side of the park.

Quite a few tables were visited outside the building, and many homeless people lined up in the building to receive food and then sit at the tables to eat.

And when Tang Ze's figure appeared here, soon a girl wearing a beige coat ran over.

"Excuse me, do you want to check the license?"

"No, no, I'm not here to make rounds." Tang Ze looked at the girl who was about to take out the documents and said strangely: "Excuse me, why do you see that I am a criminal?" ”

Hearing this, the young girl smiled and said, "In a holiday like Christmas, no one will come to such a place, and it is also a person wearing a suit to watch the neighborhood, I don't think anyone will want to stop here except for the crime." ”

That's right, after all, this building is full of homeless people, and ordinary people won't stay here for long.

But it seems that this girl often encounters such things as checking permissions, otherwise she wouldn't have been so proficient in dealing with them.

"I see, but I'm here for other reasons."

Tang Ze nodded clearly, then looked at the other party and asked, "May I ask, when did the relief activities on your side start?" ”

"About five years ago."

After the girl replied proudly, she said with some loss: "But recently this place is going to be developed into a commercial street, and this park will soon be demolished, and the places where homeless people can rest have been reduced..."

"Is that so? Great work. Tang Ze thought of what he had seen in Heiwa Masaharu's house before, and nodded thoughtfully.

After thanking each other, Tang Ze walked on the sidewalk, looking at the dilapidated huts built around him, the homeless people sitting on the ground, and then looking at the towering buildings on the other side of the park, and couldn't help but feel a strong contrast.

"It's the same person, but the way of living is really different." Tang Ze sighed and sighed silently.

However, emotion will not change anything, Tang Ze quickly lifted his spirits and called Takagi to meet the other party.

After finding Takagi, the other party's investigation also had results.

After asking the owner of the optical store, at around 7 p.m. on November 4, there was only one woman and another young man who came to buy contact lenses.

This situation is also in line with the information left by Hattori Heiji, the young man.

This made him believe more and more that Heiwa Masaharu was targeting this unknown young man.

There are two reasons for this.

As a soldier, Ueno Hirayama has a vision of 1.5, so it is impossible to go to the optical store, which first ruled out the possibility that Heiwa Masaharu followed up and investigated Ueno Hirayama and then came into contact with him.

And more importantly, in the hostage video, Tang Ze did not see the figure of the young man that Hattori Heiji said.

The other party deliberately hid him and did not film it in the video.

The so-called "there must be a demon when things go wrong", the more hidden it is, the more likely it is to be the real target.

Fortunately, the optical store recorded the other party's information and registered the basic information about the customer, so that Takagi got the name and address of this young man named Ryosuke Ito.

"Now, then, let's go to Hirano's house." Tang Ze opened his mouth and directly determined the next target of the two.

Although the visit between the two was a bit bumpy, after asking the landlord, they were able to find a related person about Ryosuke Ito, his wife who was hospitalized and about to give birth.

And after asking about Ryosuke's whereabouts, he got the answer that the two expected.

Since last night, the other party has been unable to get through on the phone and has not replied to emails.

When I called Ryosuke's company at night, I got the news that they didn't let her husband work last night.

After comforting Mrs. Ito, who blamed herself, the two drove towards the address of the company they had obtained.

"We really didn't clean up last night."

After expressing his intentions, the manager in charge of reception frowned and thought for a while, and then led the two to the whiteboard where the work schedule was arranged, "You see, I really didn't have work last night." ”

And when they saw the word "NC" written under the name with a blue pen, their eyes were fixed.

"Tang Ze-kun, the "NC" on Heiwa Masaharu's notebook should be this, right? Takagi pointed to the whiteboard with an excited expression.

"Well, night cleaning, the so-called "NC" is the abbreviation of night cleaning. Tang Ze nodded and said, "It seems that the person who is investigating by Heiwa Masaharu is really Ryosuke Ito." ”

Those times and places are the places that Ryosuke Ito used to clean at night.

"But why did Masaharu Heiwa investigate Ryosuke Ito?" Takagi frowned and puzzled: "How do you look at it, Ryosuke is just an ordinary employee, and he can't take out so much money at all, right?" ”

"That's... Maybe I know why. The manager, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but say, "Actually..."
