Chapter 411, the helpless police
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department received a report from the branch office and immediately dispatched personnel to the scene overnight. According to the narrator, Takuya Tokugawa, chief scientist of Advanced Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Miyamoto Foundation, disappeared during his routine long-distance running last night. As of the early morning of the second day, more than 12 hours had passed since Tokugawa's disappearance, but the mobile phone could not be reached at all, and the company also hung up the phone to the Tokugawa family on time because of the late arrival of the employee.
This case is very important, and it is personally handled by two elite police detectives, and at the same time, the superiors are already preparing to set up a special task force.
Because many people think of the disappearance of scientists and researchers in the past two years, from the Mitsubishi engineer in April two years ago, to the Nobel Prize in chemistry in the following months, and then to today, the three of them in the past two years, all of them are senior experts in the industry. Although this period of time is not too short, and there is no evidence that the three are related, it is really interesting.
However, it is precisely because these three things are really not directly related that the chief did not say anything about setting up a task force, but temporarily handled it according to the normal incident, and two police detectives were in charge.
But the job is hard to do. The family has not been able to provide any clues, and what is especially blind is that Tokugawa's running habit is actually an old tradition that has lasted for more than 20 years, and it is better not to die, so that everyone who knows him knows about it, if it is really from this point of view, then they are all suspects!
This unlucky old man, he runs when he runs, why do he have to show off to others? And running is running, and there is nothing wrong with it for twenty years, what the hell is it to always run a fixed route? Do you know why, children are always easy to be kidnapped when they go to and from school, isn't it because the route and time are fixed?
However, there is no evidence that Tokugawa was kidnapped by unknown gangs, there are no blackmail calls, there are no horror videos, the area of the disappearance scene is very large, and the search for evidence of the kidnapping is a lot of work, and it is really not a job that one or two police officers can complete. Therefore, it was after learning all of this that the Setagaya Ward branch office was entrusted with the Metropolitan Police Department, which is constantly adding more staff......
In a short period of time, no one has come to the company to disturb the company, but of course it is only a matter of time. First of all, I was doing research around the Tokugawa Mansion, then I was doing research along his running route, and of course, I was busy with the work of asking about the Tokugawa family, and the company was the last to go there. These things alone are enough to take a day or two, and the lack of manpower is one thing, but the work process is also a top priority, although this efficiency problem is also a lot of complaints from the public.
One thing worth noting is that the Tokugawa family's house is really big, even in Chiyoda, where there are many wealthy people, this single-story layout of eight bedrooms, multiple living rooms and multiple bathrooms is really shocking. So the police really asked the family members very sincerely, your old man, won't he be the one who provokes the hatred of the rich?
It's really possible.
So the direction of the investigation is twisted in this direction, and then rush to an unknowable world at full speed, although the police have not given up other possibilities, but since it is rare to find a direction, of course, we must work hard to show it. Therefore, since the direction has been drawn to the field of hatred of the rich, of course, it is necessary to pay more attention to the investigation of Tokugawa's interpersonal relationships, and it is only at this time that the relevant employees come to the company.
Takuya Tokugawa, chief scientist at Advanced Biotechnology Co., Ltd., is the envy of many because it is one of the many national core buildings in Chiyoda Ward that surrounds the Imperial Palace, the Miyamoto Twin Towers. So it's actually two buildings, one of which is Miyamoto Pharmaceutical, and the other building that the police need to know about.
Then the question arises, who do they need to contact with?
Theoretically, since the chief scientist is missing, of course they have to talk to the president. However, this company is not an ordinary club, and the composition model of the Miyamoto Consortium is also very complicated. Therefore, this matter was revealed by a leader at the level of vice president, and the police have nothing to question.
If you want to talk about how Tokugawa usually interacted with each other, it is really something worth nagging, and the police must get to the point, otherwise it will be endless. But the case handling in the real world is certainly not something that can be done in ten minutes like Conan, and how to find clues from the massive information given by the vice president is often a workload calculated in weeks.
So, the work here in the company passed peacefully, and the police focused more on the area around his mansion.
To be honest, the two detectives in charge had a headache from the start, because there were so many suspects that anyone who knew about Tokugawa's routine was feasible, and that number was in the hundreds. Think about it, even if you check three people a day, it will take about half a year for hundreds of people to be done, but can the missing people and their families wait that long?
Therefore, the police are also waiting for the kidnapping call, and it is good to have clues, at least they can save other investigation directions. God knows, the impact of this case is huge, and the number of police officers dispatched can fill an entire conference room. However, the slightest emancipation of police officers can greatly emancipate the productive forces, emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, and so on.
But no.
When the time for calling the police reaches the end of the week, no matter who is going to lose patience, to some extent. The conclusion that Tokugawa disappeared is correct, but the exact cause remains unknown. The possibility of kidnapping tickets is getting smaller and smaller, so many people are beginning to wonder if he insisted on running when he was old and accidentally fell into Tokyo Bay, right?
"Impossible! My dad is in good health! ”
"Impossible! My husband has been on that route for many years, and he has never been to Tokyo Bay! ”
So, the police officer who put forward the conjecture was trained, and he deserved it, so that the novice broke his mouth. However, since Tokyo Bay is mentioned, everyone has to pay attention to the possibility of killing people and burying corpses, but that is a lot of work, is it really necessary to escalate the situation to this level?
It should be necessary, because he has really been missing for a week. Many police officers who handled the case secretly speculated that this might become an unsolved case. For example, in the past two years, New Sea Curtis announced that he had changed jobs in the later stage, and that incident was originally Mitsubishi Chemical's unwillingness, but the death of the engineer at the beginning...... Isn't that the end of it?
So, where did Tokugawa go in such a long time?
