At 8:45 a.m., after a busy night, the ransom was finally prepared, and 500 million yen worth of diamonds and precious stones were packed into two small bags, and five kilograms of gold were packed into a high-quality black briefcase.

Employees of banks, insurance companies, and jewelry stores leave to rest, and while Chiho Takamuroto weeps silently again while she guards the briefcase and worries about her young daughter, Yoshikawa Tomoda sits beside her and comforts her, encouraging her to cheer up and get through this difficult time.

Toshihiko Michii was also on his side, but Takaburoto Chiho rarely answered his words, which made him look a little stupid, and it seemed that he refused to pay for his niece in distress, which hurt his brother and sister's feelings a lot.

Oguri Kamono, Nakano and other criminal police officers kept discussing various plans around a whiteboard, imagining what kind of ransom delivery method the kidnappers would propose, and formed multiple reserve teams, ready to deal with any sudden accidents at any time - this is a big case, almost all the criminal investigation forces that the Hirano Police Station can currently mobilize, and the reputation of the police station must also save Sayuri, and there is no room for loss!

They had a heated discussion, and Takeshi Nanahara sneaked into the kitchen with nothing to do, made a few small sandwiches, and made a pot of tea, and Kiyomi Ruri hid aside to eat secretly, watching the tense scene with interest, and by the way, asked the housekeeper about the last lady of the treasure room, what her surname was, and which family she came from.

Soon after, the floor clock in the large living room rang the hour, and the atmosphere in the living room became more tense, and after a while, the kidnapper's second ransom letter was finally delivered by logistics.

When it was time to deliver the ransom, everyone immediately watched the ransom letter and found that the kidnapper's instructions were very simple, asking Takamuroto Chiho to rush to Tsuhicho Station with the ransom money before 9:25, and use the key that came with the letter to open locker No. 117, which contained instructions for the next step and made several demands.

This locker can only be opened by Chiho Takamuroto herself, and if someone else opens it, Sayuri will die;

It must be opened before 9:25, and Sayuri will die if it is late;

There must be no police to follow and follow, and if a police officer is found to be following and tracking, Sayuri will still die.

"Tsuhicho Station, 9:25 a.m. ......" Takamurodo Chiho held the key a little dazed, she rarely took the train, she was not very familiar with the station, and immediately looked at Oguri Kamono, who had a long talk with her last night, and counted the kidnapping cases she handled, showing that even if she fully cooperated with the kidnappers, the hostages usually ended well, and finally persuaded her to promise to obey the arrangements and instructions of the police as much as possible.

"It's about a twenty-minute drive from here, and you can get there in more than ten minutes by driving faster, you have to leave immediately, but don't worry about anything, we will always follow you and keep in touch with you at any time." Oguri Kamano didn't expect the kidnappers to choose this way to avoid the police to convey instructions, so he waved his hand as he spoke, signaling his subordinates to prepare the vehicle immediately, and by the way, he checked the communication device and tracker tied to the body of Takamurodo Chiho again, and he began to frown and think.

Takakuroto Chiho is a soft and weak woman, and I don't know how long I haven't driven in person, so it seems a little difficult to let her drive the fast train all the way to Tsuhicho Station, and it's a bit dangerous to send the ransom alone, should I let a criminal police officer disguise herself as a driver to send her over?

In case the kidnappers suspect it, or if there is really an inner ghost in the mansion who is secretly tipping off the news......

He weighed the pros and cons there, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, and Yoshikawa Tomoda seemed to see his embarrassment, and said softly on the side: "Mrs. Suiko hasn't driven a car for a long time, so she may not be able to arrive on time, let me send her over, I am also a member of the treasure family, and I am Sayuri's uncle, so it should be no problem." ”

Time waits for no one, it's almost ten o'clock at this time, Oguri Kamono saw that he volunteered, and he didn't go against the kidnapper's request, even if the kidnapper just felt that he was an eyesore, he could send another instruction to let him leave, so as not to be provoked to tear up the ticket, it was indeed a good choice, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Yoshikawa-san, please pay attention to safety, follow the instructions of the police, and don't act rashly." ”

"I understand, more than anyone else, I want Sayuri to return safely." Yoshikawa Tomoda nodded heavily, his expression very resolute.

Takamurodo Chiho also breathed a sigh of relief, she was not afraid to take risks to save her daughter, but let her go by herself...... She was worried that she couldn't cope and accidentally killed her daughter, and now Yoshikawa Yuda is willing to share it for her.

At this time, the car was also ready, and the two immediately rushed to Tsuhicho Station with a briefcase worth more than 500 million yen.

…………

The kidnappers want to collect the ransom, the police naturally can't wait, they have been prepared, Oguri Kamono gave an order to the walkie-talkie, and there were several teams of people in several places near the manor, driving all kinds of vehicles prepared overnight last night, disguised as farm delivery drivers, office workers, motorcycle delivery workers and other characters, or speeding up to Tsuhicho Station in advance to set up control, or following the vehicles of Takamurodo Chiho and Yoshikawa Tomoda from a distance, or across the street to go hand in hand, ready to start a round-up at any time.

Eri Nakano belongs to the emergency reserve team, after all, she is not very good at actual combat experience, and Oguri Kamano can't trust her, so she takes Takeshi Nanahara and Kiyomi Ruri to hang far behind the other group of people, receiving information through the police radio, and can't even see the butts of Takarato Chiho and Yoshikawa Tomoda.

The same goes for her direct subordinates, with Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji following behind her, and only the butt of her car can be seen.

At 9:24, with the help of Yoshikawa Tomoda, Takamurodo Chiho rushed to the locker No. 117 of Tsuhicho Station with a dangerous hand, shook his hand and opened the lock with a key, took out a piece of printer paper, and then turned pale, said to Yoshikawa Tomoda, turned around and walked to the women's bathroom only a few steps away.

Eri Nakano couldn't see it, but she was of a higher rank, and she could directly hear the exchange between Oguri Kamano and Takamurodo Chiho through the police radio, and at this time Takamuroto Chiho was whispering the kidnapper's latest request - throw a kilogram of gold, no matter what size of gold she prepared, into the trash can in the women's bathroom, and then go straight to buy a ticket, take the next train to Eihicho to open another locker, miss the shuttle or disobey the instructions, Sayuri will die.

Oguri Kamano had no choice but to follow the kidnapper's request for the time being, but he didn't dare to throw a kilogram of gold at the station, and he didn't dare to send someone to retrieve it as soon as Treasure Muroto Chiho left, so he could only leave two people to keep an eye on it, and whoever picked up the gold would continue to follow - he didn't dare to catch it, in case this was the kidnapper's temptation, but it would be all over.

And on the side of Takamurodo Chiho, thanks to Yoshikawa Tomoda to help buy tickets, he narrowly caught the train under his drag, hugged the briefcase tightly and was squeezed all the way to Eigacho, opened the locker again, and got new instructions to throw a kilogram of gold into the garbage bin next to the locker again.

The police personnel were reduced by 2, and then again, the police tracking personnel were reduced again, and when they went to the next station, the kidnappers simply ordered Takamurodo Chiho to openly throw the gold on the ground, and stunned passers-by on the spot, although no one was crazy enough to snatch it in public, but the onlookers must have been inevitable, causing a lot of commotion.

Oguri Kamano had to allocate more police forces to monitor the whereabouts of the gold, but at the next stop, the kidnappers went even further, asking Takamurodo Chiho to scatter a dozen finely broken diamonds on the station platform, and shouted twice "These diamonds are for everyone", causing a larger riot, and in the chaos, the kidnappers demanded a very tight time, and Takamurodo Chiho and Yoshikawa Tomoda did not care about their backs at all, and had to hurry to the next target point.

At this point, Oguri Kamono is a little messed up here, chasing the tram several times in a row, the police tracking team has been torn apart, some of the trucks are still at the last stop, and even several criminal policemen who are hanging behind Takamuro Chiho in civilian clothes have been squeezed out of two, but Nakano Eri's car is good enough, and the more mixed it is, the more he is forward, and now he has become the first echelon behind Takakuro Tochiho.

She frowned, listened to the chaotic call on the police radio to verify the location, and said in a heavy tone: "What a cunning kidnapper, things are a little troublesome." ”

It was the first time Kiyomi Ruri encountered this kind of thing, even if she just listened, her heartbeat was about to break a hundred at this time, and she said worriedly: "Could it be that the kidnappers have found out that the police are tracking?" ”

If she were a kidnapper, she would definitely observe Treasure Muroto Chiho at a certain station, or even observe it at intervals of a platform, and the police are now in such a mess, and the possibility of revealing flaws is extremely high - the criminal police who monitor the whereabouts of the gold may arouse suspicion, and the plainclothes criminal police who follow Treasure Muroto Chiho from a distance during the riot scene are more likely to arouse suspicion, and even say that the kidnappers have now discovered that Treasure Muroto Chiho has not followed the instructions, and it is not impossible to bring the police to pay the ransom.

Eri Nakano helped his glasses, flashed a white light of "helplessness", and was silent. She also felt that it was not good, she felt that this errand was going to be smashed, and after a while, she looked in the rearview mirror and asked Nanahara Takeshi, "Is there any way for Nanahara-san?" Can you perceive anything? ”

Now she is hoping that Nanahara Takeshi is a real spirit medium as she thought, and Nanahara Takeshi listened to the trembling voice of Treasure Muroto Chiho on the radio, as well as Yoshikawa Tomoda's faintly reassuring voice, touched his chin and smiled: "Calm down, Miss Nakano, let's see the final result first, they can't catch up now." ”

"Can't make it?" Eri Nakano hurriedly listened to the call on the radio, and found that after more than two hours of tossing back and forth to change trains, Takarato Chiho and Kawayoshi Tomoda had already run to the outskirts of the city, and now they were about to transfer to the bus and rush to the next location as instructed, but because the kidnappers were too tight on the time of each card, it was only a minute before the bus departure time, and they were still running wildly on the road.

Fail to pay the ransom? And what about Sayuri?

There is no way to round up the kidnappers in this way!

Eri Nakano and Ruri Kiyomi listened nervously to the news that kept coming from the radio, and finally someone was in a hurry, and a criminal policeman on a motorcycle arrived in a speeding car, and there was a small scrape with the bus that had just left the station, which delayed the time, which allowed Yoshikawa Tomoda to drag Takamurodo Chiho to catch the bus.

But the time was still delayed a lot, after all, Takakuroto Chiho really couldn't run fast, and the road from the tram stop to the bus stop made her pale and even more pitiful, and it was all up to Yoshikawa Tomoda to survive.

This delay had a considerable ripple effect, the bus could not pick up speed on the winding mountain road, even if Yoshikawa Tomoda promised a high reward, and the bus was almost at the arrival time requested by the kidnappers before it reached the target location.

The time was completely too late, and everyone was at a loss for a while, and with a slightly choked exclamation from Takakuro Chiho, Yoshikawa Tomoda couldn't wait for the bus to go around in circles on the mountain road, jumped directly from the bus, rushed out of the mountain road with the briefcase containing the ransom, and rolled down the steep slope, the bus had to detour for several minutes, and he rolled in more than ten seconds, and then stood up in embarrassment, rushed to the center of a bridge with blood on his face, looked down at the ground, and did not hesitate to lift the briefcase and throw it under the bridge.

The gold in the briefcase had been thrown away all the way, and the diamonds and gems were not of much weight, almost empty, and they made a big splash on the surface of the river, and floated down the rushing river into the distance, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
