Chapter Eighty-Four: A Strange Disappearance

"Hasn't Erina come back yet?"

In the villa of the Nagi family, Nagi Senzaemon is full of solemnity.

"Yes, this afternoon Miss went out to try it out as usual. But on the way back, the vehicle in which the young lady was riding suddenly disappeared, and the phone calls of the young lady and the driver could not be reached. The positioning system installed in the car also has no signal back...... As it stands, the possibility of deliberate abduction cannot be ruled out. ”

The housekeeper of the Nagi family reported to Nagi Senzaemon.

Nagi Senzaemon narrowed his eyes: "Did any kidnappers call to ask for ransom?" ”

"I'm very sorry, but so far no kidnappers have claimed responsibility for the disappearance of the young lady, and there have been no calls to demand ransom."

Nagi Senzaemon muttered, "With Erina's character, she would never suddenly lose contact with her family or run away from home, and if so, the driver would have stopped her from doing so, rather than actively cooperating with her, and she would have lost contact with her. Any clues? ”

"Yes, according to the instructions of the master, we have reported this case to the police department as soon as possible, and the director promised to use the maximum police force to help solve the case. At present, it has been determined that the last place where the young lady will appear is in front of the restaurant where the food is scheduled to be tasted today. After the lady finished the food tasting, she came out of the main entrance of the restaurant, and after getting into the car, the positioning system in the car never sent a positioning signal. ”

The butler flipped the paper material in his hand to the next page and continued:

"In addition, the Metropolitan Police Department's surveillance camera suddenly broke down the moment the young lady got into the car, and when the surveillance returned to normal five minutes later, the car that the young lady was riding in had disappeared within the surveillance range, and then we found the car carrying the young lady and the driver who was stunned by the chemical drugs in the parking lot on the outskirts of the city, but the young lady was not in the car. We believe that this should be a premeditated kidnapping case. ”

"These guys have a really good plan. Aoyama, continue to keep pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department not to slack off in the investigation of the case, the clues are likely to be on the competitors of the Nagi family, remember not to forget to collect intelligence from them. Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized by the Nagi family, and dig three feet into the ground to get Erina back."

Nagi Senzaemon had a sneer on his face, he had experienced the history of the war years, and his body was filled with a "killing intent" that was so dense that it formed a substance.

"Dare to attack the heir of the Nagi family, if I catch those scumbags, I will make them regret their actions."

At this time, a servant of the Nagi family walked in.

"Kageyama, didn't you say that the master has something important to talk about, don't bother?"

Aoyama, the head of the Nagi family, asked.

"Yes, but Mr. Emiya is waiting outside, saying that he can help the master find Miss Erina-sama."

"Huh?" Nagi Senzaemon's brow furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he ordered, "Kageyama, let Emiya in." Aoyama, calling the security forces of the villa, gathered around him, ready to subdue him at any time. ”

"Yes." / "Yes. Steward Aoyama and Kageyama nodded yes.

In Nagi Senzaemon's opinion, the timing of the other party's arrival was too coincidental, and it could not be ruled out that it was specially arranged by Erina's kidnappers. Will Emiya's encounter with herself in France be a well-planned game? The situation is tense at the moment, and he needs to do his best to make sure that everything goes wrong.

Kageyama took Li Xiang into Nagi Senzaemon's office.

At the same time, the housekeeper of Aoyama also arranged for the security personnel of Nagikiri's house to gather outside the door. Always ready to take control.

Nagi Senzaemon single-handedly goes straight to the point:

"Emiya, you say you know Erina's whereabouts?"

Li Xiang nodded: "Yes, although it's only an approximate location." ”

Li Xiang placed the knife box he was carrying on the table in front of Nagi Senzaemon and opened it, revealing the three knives neatly arranged in the box.

"The Commander-in-Chief will remember that the other day I went to a blacksmith shop with Miss Erina Nagikiri through the Commander-in-Chief's connections. There, I made four knives. ”

"I know this, and three of them are the ones you put in front of me right now. There is also a butterfly knife that you gave to Erina. In this matter, I hope Emiya-kun understands our position, it's not that I don't believe you, but the knife you gave me was handed over to Erina after a detailed inspection by us. ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, it's an item from an outsider who isn't sure if it's trustworthy. The Nagi family is also a well-known family, and it is the right thing to check. I marked the knife on it, and if Miss Erina was still carrying the knife, I would be able to find out where Miss Erina was by the location of the knife. ”

The chief butler who entered the room after arranging the security personnel questioned:

"Mark? However, when we examined it, there was no signal transmitter on the blade, it was just a simple shaped piece of iron. ”

"There is no need for me to deceive the three of them at this point, after all, such a guarantee has nothing to gain from me. And I'm the bodyguard of the young lady, and I am also responsible for the disappearance of the young lady. Now that time is pressing, if the Commander-in-Chief Nagi does not trust me very much, he can find me a strong bow and a certain number of feathered arrows, and I am confident that I will bring the young lady back in good condition. ”

"Master, this ......"

Steward Qingshan said loudly.

Nagi Senzaemon closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then waved his hand.

"It's okay, there is no need to use people who are suspicious. Aoyama instructed the people below to bring him bows and arrows as Emiya said. Arrange for some security forces to follow Emiya to find Erina......"

"Commander-in-chief, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but one person will be more efficient, and the Nagi family only needs to provide me with the equipment I just mentioned, and the personnel don't have to be arranged. By tonight at the latest, I'll be able to bring back Miss Erina. ”

"You're not kidding, are you?" Regarding the life of his granddaughter, Nagi Senzaemon's face was unusually dignified.

"I'm sure."

Nagi Senzaemon glanced at Li Xiang deeply and said, "Although I don't know why you want to act like this, I believe you. If you can really find the next heir of the Nagi family, my granddaughter Erina Nagikiri. Then I will vouch for you in the name of the Nagi family, and you will be our guest of honor, and on behalf of the Nagi family, I will promise you a condition within the scope of my ability. ”

"Sir! Such a commitment ......"

"Qingshan, don't say it again, I've made up my mind. Still, I need to remind Emiya of you. ”

Nagi Senzaemon turned to Li Xiang and said, "While you are acting, we will not stop the search operation against Erina, and in the same way, this is not a distrust of you, but in this matter, we must mobilize all forces." ”

"Commander-in-chief, I understand your concerns. I'll bring Erina back. ”
