Nishikujo Ruri was in a state of anxiety during this time, not only did the three kidnapping cases not make any progress, but two more people disappeared.

The already restless news media seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department kept asking questions, asking tricky questions and harsh words at the press conference, and almost pointing to their noses and asking if the people had raised a pile of waste by paying taxes.

Otherwise, under the banner of the public's right to know, they demand more details about the case to increase sales. Of course, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department refused to disclose any information about the case, so reporters who wanted to dig up big news began to cross the sea and show their talents.

There are those who look at pictures and speak, those who have divergent imagination, those who have conspiracy theories, and those who have climbed the moral high ground - Nishikujo Ruri has to sigh when he touches the newspaper and looks at it.

Even self-media such as bloggers on the Internet began to join in the fun, and there was a lot of vigor and discussion for a while.

Public opinion is monstrous, according to Dongying's practice, if it drags on like this, someone will have to "bravely" stand up and take responsibility, and the "back-handed man" designated by the bigwigs has taken the initiative to resign in less than two weeks, and they are running rapidly on the road from bald to bald, and they can't hold it back.

He locked himself in his office, with a resigned attitude, occasionally chanting and singing, sipping tea, the wind was light, and if he wiped the long knife again, he would be ready to apologize at any time - not to that extent, but he knelt down publicly in front of the camera to apologize.

Nishikujo Ruri also locked himself in the office, flipping through the clues and information collected over and over again, but he couldn't connect them at all.

Odashita, Shiba Saitama and Eguchi Masaaki still have more or less traces of being kidnapped, and the two who disappeared in the back are a bit unbelievable.

Morinaka Ishida, a well-known botanist, honorary president of the Animal Protection Society, and a university professor, ran away from home a few days ago and has not returned. According to the transcript of his wife, a stranger came to visit and presented a letter, and Ishida Morito looked nervous after reading it, but after talking to the stranger for half an hour, he left with the stranger without anything, and has not been seen since.

One of the key clues is that Ishida Morichu suspected of exclaiming the word "Tamato-kun" when he opened the letter, but Ishida Morinaka's wife is also in her sixties, and her ear is not good, and she went to make tea at that time, so she is not completely sure if she heard it wrong, but Chai Qi Tamara and Ishida Morinaka have been friends for many years, and the more she thought about it, the more she suspected that her husband was saying the word "Tamato-kun".

Ishida Morinaka's wife couldn't wait for her husband to come back for a long time at home, and felt that something was wrong, and suspected that her husband had been abducted in the name of Shiba Saitama, so she reported to the police and was classified as a missing person.

Masako Nozawa, a rare feminist activist in Toei and a partner at a well-known law firm, was praised for speaking out for vulnerable women's rights, but after being interviewed for help, she was gone forever — according to the reception at the café at the time, Masako Nozawa was invited to watch a video, and Masako Nozawa was quite excited.

That café is frequented by Masako Nozawa, and the receptionist is more concerned about this regular customer, but it provides a lot of clues, but ...... The person who met Masako Nozawa was not lacking in hats, sunglasses and scarves, and there were basically no facial features, so it could only be determined by his height and body shape that he was not the one who went to see Ishida Morinaka, and it seemed that Odashita's name appeared in the conversation between the two sides.

Ruri Nishikujo can't figure it out-

Why kidnap these people? These people are men and women, rich and poor, some have fame and some obscurity, and they have nothing in common.

What do the perpetrators want? What do they get? So far, none of the family members have received any demands from the kidnappers, as if the kidnappers had been satisfied by kidnapping them.

How did you kidnap her? Tokyo is not a barren mountain range, but a modern metropolis, and I dare not say that there is a three-step monitoring, but it is not so much that even a figure is lost! For example, Masako Nozawa, the person who made an appointment with her suddenly entered the monitoring range from a blind spot of surveillance, and walked into the café with Masako Nozawa after the appointment, and then took Masako Nozawa to another road, or a blind spot of a few meters, and the person disappeared...... What a joke!

And Nishikujo Ruri organized a large number of people, and inspected the area where the mysterious man appeared and the area where the mysterious man disappeared with Masako Nozawa dozens of times and didn't find any problems - it was a thorough inspection, so thorough that he almost had to dig up the mouse hole to see, and almost got all the rats back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to be repeatedly questioned by a special person.

That's it, there is still nothing, the other party mysteriously seems to fall from the sky, and it seems to disappear into the void. The more they investigated, the more frightened everyone became. It's not that he's timid, it's not uncommon for people from the Nishikujo Group to be crushed in the corpse crushing case, and if they really find a place where the corpse is broken, everyone may be happy (not inhumane, the pressure is too great), but it is only when they can't find anything that people start to be suspicious.

The more Ruri Nishikujo thought about it, the more clueless she became, she got up and walked to the whiteboard and connected a line between Shibata Tama and Ishida Morinaka, noted her friends, and watched intently with her marker pen in her hands—her eyes were sharp and confused, her sword eyebrows rose and fell, and her heart was full of contradictions.

Shiba Saitama was kidnapped and then forced to write a letter to Ishida Morinaka?

However, as a professor, Ishida Morinaka is also old, and it is impossible for him to be mentally retarded enough to believe Shiba Qitama's letter even though he knew that Shiba Saitama had been kidnapped! Then why did he leave with a stranger? In order to save his friends? This doesn't make sense!

What was written in that letter?

What is in the video that Masako Nozawa is watching, and how likely is it that she is a woman herself, so she will leave with a stranger?

Nishikujo Ruri tried to find a breakthrough, she didn't dare to ask for too much now, even if it was just a new direction that could be traced, she was satisfied, but she was like standing in a thick fog, looking around, it was white, let alone finding the right path, and she wasn't even sure if it was a cliff in front of her.

The continuous failures and lack of gains made her inevitably depressed, but she quickly banished this negative mindset from her mind - it was not time to admit defeat.

She was looking for a flash of inspiration on a messy whiteboard of names, photos, social relationships, occupations, etc., when there was a knock on the door.

She turned her head to look, but saw Jiro Kitagawa poking his head in, and reported, "Group head, there is a new situation." ”

"What's the situation?" Nishikujo Ruri's eyes widened suddenly, there was a new missing person?

Kitagawa Jiro entered the room, handed her a piece of tissue paper, and said, "Interpol wants our case information, and the superior has ordered us to provide it as appropriate." ”

Nishikujo Ruri was slightly relieved, but said strangely: "Why did Interpol intervene?"

Interpol is the abbreviation of the International Criminal Police Organization, headquartered in Lyon, France, but the highest authority is the Congress of Member States. This organization needs to maintain political neutrality, will not be involved in any political, military, religious and racial crimes, nor will it be involved in any non-transnational crimes, and will mainly investigate international terrorist activities, trafficking in human beings, drugs and arms, huge economic crimes, etc., and most of them play a coordinating role.

Nishikujo Ruri only asked for a moment before suddenly reacting, "It's not just us, someone is missing here, which country initiated it?"

Kitagawa Jiro has already checked it and replied: "It's Huaxia, and the current executive chairman of Interpol is from Huaxia, so it's more convenient for them to speak out...... I have asked He Nai to collect information, and there are currently six similar cases in China, four in North America, and suspected cases in South America and Australia, but I can't confirm it at present, and there is no news from Europe and Africa. ”

"Similar to us?"

"Yes, it's just that we don't have a lot of control in the news media here, and the missing people are concentrated in Tokyo, so it's more violent. For example, China and the United States have a relatively wide area, and the missing people are scattered in different cities, which has not attracted much public attention at present, and even the United States has not merged the cases, and is still investigating in each state separately, and the FBI has not intervened. ”

"At least fifteen?" Nishikujo Ruri's heart jumped suddenly, and he lowered his head in thought. In an instant, it became a transnational case, and the crime was committed all over the world, so it cannot be said that it was a gang, but rather a large organization! Could it involve some kind of political demand? Will it be related to terrorism?

Kitagawa Jiro looked at Nishikujo Ruri there bowing his head and pondering, hesitated for a moment and called softly: "Kumitou!"

"What?" asked Ruri Nishikujo, looking up.

"Your hand...... Would you like to wash it first?"

Ruri Nishikujo looked at her hand in surprise and found that the marker had broken for her, and her hand was stained with a large blue-black. She threw the pen into the waste paper, turned around and took out a few tissues to wipe indiscriminately, and ordered: "Beichuan, you go and talk to Interpol and let them exchange case information with other countries." ”

"OK, I'll do it right away. Kitagawa Jiro agreed very happily, and the brows that had been frowning all this time were loosened - if something happened to each country, whether the case was solved or not, the pressure on their side was much less.

If other countries are broken, it is naturally equivalent to them being broken.

If other countries can't break it, then if everyone can't break it, the news media can't just grab the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and scold it!

Kitagawa Jiro walked away with ease, Nishikujo Ruri reluctantly wiped his hands dry, glanced at the whiteboard, put on a windbreaker, and prepared to go out for a walk, sober and sober.

The case is getting more and more complicated, and this is the biggest challenge of her life.
