At 8 a.m. the next day, Hirano Police Station, Criminal Division Search Division.

Eri Nakano pushed open the door of his office, and saw Nanahara Takeshi standing in front of the window looking into the distance, the instant egg yolk rice ball on the table had barely moved, so he couldn't help but hold his glasses and sighed: "Nanahara, don't worry too much, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Ruri will be fine."

She can understand if she can't swallow it, whoever has a girlfriend who has been kidnapped probably can't eat, but the more she should eat at this time, the more she should eat a little, otherwise where will she have the strength to save people?

Nanahara Takeshi turned his head and smiled without explaining that the rice balls were too unpalatable, but just asked with concern, "Is there any news?"

If it is placed in ancient times, no, even in modern times, Kiyomi Ruri was kidnapped, he is 99% sure that he can smell and find her all the way, but it is not good in modern times, there are too many cars in the city, even if his five senses are far beyond ordinary people, he can't accurately track a car in a large amount of exhaust.

But he was not without gains, and by questioning the students at the school gate, it didn't take long to figure out how Kiyomi Ruri was kidnapped, and locked up the suspect - a woman, about 50 years old, with slightly gray hair, and a disability in her left leg, driving a silver-gray van with the store logo of "Kamachi Hanada", heading towards the south of the city.

This feature is quite significant, in line with the image of Akira Pusai's wife at large in the serial bombings, and he suspects that Tomoko Pusai is retaliating for the crime, or trying to replace her husband.

However, this didn't help much in how to find Kiyomi Ruri, and he notified Eri Nakano as soon as possible, hoping that the golden glasses girl could mobilize the power of each town to search for the whereabouts of Tomoko Urasai and the van.

Of course, Eri Nakano attaches great importance to this matter, and he also began to arrange for his subordinates to search for it as soon as possible, but a day and a night passed, and no good news came, so he could only shake his head silently - Hirano has a population of more than one million, and there are a large number of pastures, horse farms, small towns, and villages around, and it is not so easy to find someone.

Especially in these years, the means of communication are backward, and sometimes it is better than word of mouth, and the efficiency of doing everything is extremely low, and it is really difficult to get feedback for a while.

Nanahara Takeshi was not disappointed either, and asked again, "What about Puxi Zhao? Did someone send it?"

Yesterday he wanted to take Akira Urashi from prison to the police station just in case, but Akira Urashi is a prisoner on death row, and he is squatting in Sapporo Prison, which does not mean that he can mention people - in the name of urgent assistance, there are many formalities to go through.

This matter was handled by Eri Nakano through the relationship of Wu Teng An, looked at his watch and said, "The prison has been escorted before dawn, and it should be almost there."

Nanahara Takeshi was a little relieved and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Nakano, and thank you for me."

Now there is no evidence that Puxi Showa is directly related to this case, and it is necessary to take some risks if he wants to get people out of prison, and based on his guess, Wu Teng An and Eri Nakano are willing to help, which is interesting enough.

Eri Nakano shook her head indifferently, she had a very good impression of Kiyomi Ruri, and she didn't want her to have an accident, of course she had to do what she could, and she didn't need to be grateful.

Now she can only wait, she went to make two cups of instant coffee, gave Takeshi Nanahara a cup, and drank a cup slowly, hoping that good news would come as soon as possible, but an hour had passed, and the situation still had not changed, and no one had suddenly called to say that someone in their jurisdiction had seen someone like Tomoko Pusai.

Nanahara Takeshi has a calm breath, after all, he is so anxious that jumping up and down can't solve the problem, so he thinks quietly, but Eri Nakano always has bad conjectures in his mind, and he is always worried that Kiyomi Ruri has been killed.

As soon as she thought that a simple and kind girl like Kiyomi Ruri would suddenly lose her life, she couldn't help but be impetuous, and she had the urge to launch a city-wide search regardless of whether it was useful or not, and what the consequences were.

Probably, when the criminal police encounter a case, they also need to avoid suspicion of their friends, if Kiyomi Ruri is really killed, she doubts whether she dares to see her.... She didn't dare to think about those two words now.

"Miss Nakano, Akira Urasai has delivered." A criminal policeman outside the door pushed the door to report, and Eri Nakano regained his strengths and beckoned Takeshi Nanahara to rush to greet him.

Akira Urasai was escorted from Sapporo by four prison guards, wearing leg irons

Handcuffs, it seems that it is not easy to be in prison during this time, in just two or three months, it seems that he is ten years old, his hair is completely white, and there is a deep exhaustion on his face - in Japan, the death sentence is not an immediate death, and it is not certain when the death penalty will be carried out, it can only be said that it is possible at any time.

Eri Nakano stepped forward to complete the reception formalities and immediately threw him into the interrogation room, while Nanahara Takeshi got the list of Akira Pusai's visits in prison, correspondence records, and personal letters, and began to look through them quickly - these letters were supposed to be checked, and he looked through them barely to be compliant, mainly to find out if Akira Pusai knew, whether there were secret letters, and who was contacting him.

Of course, it is more likely that Pu Xizhao threw it directly after reading the code letter, but it is still necessary to check and check.

He looked at it for a while, and there was nothing special to gain, just to remember Pu Xi Zhao's communication record in his mind, there might be a mysterious person X in it, and then looked at the interrogation room from the one-way mirror, and a pair of red-faced criminal policemen inside were scared and persuaded to ask Pu Xi Zhao to confess honestly, even if they didn't know what to ask Pu Xi Zhao to confess.

Nanahara looked at it for a moment, then walked around to open the door and said with a smile: "Pusai-san, we meet again, do you mind having a chat with me?"

Pu Xizhao still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, looked at him gloomily, and didn't want to say a word. Eri Nakano beckoned at the door, motioned for the two men to come out, and then closed the door, allowing Takeshi Nanahara and Akira Urasai to communicate alone.

Nanahara took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook out one and handed it to Puxi Zhao's mouth, and said with a smile, "Do you want one?"

Puxi Zhao is indeed very addicted to smoking, silently stretched out his head to put the cigarette to his mouth, Nanahara Takeshi rubbed his fingers to help him light the cigarette, and said with a smile: "Do you know that your wife kidnapped my friend?"

Puxi Zhao looked at his fingers in surprise, but he didn't pay much attention to it, just concentrated on swallowing clouds and spitting fog, while Nanahara Takeshi waited for a while, looked at him and nodded and smiled, "It seems that you know, who told you? Is your wife someone else?"

Akira Urasai still refuses to speak, and Takeshi Nanahara begins to read his list of correspondence logs: "Is it Okada?" Pu Xi Zhao glanced at him, his face expressionless.

Nanahara didn't stop, and asked again, "Is it Yoshiike?"

Akira Puxi still refused to answer, so Takeshi Nanahara kept reading, and finally finished reading the list, thought for a while, turned his head over, and laughed in a low voice: "Okay, Urasai-san, let's put this question aside for now. I think you also know that the police can't set such a bad precedent and let you go, you and your wife are being used for nothing, now tell me your wife's contact information, let her release my friend, forget about this matter, let's just treat it as if it didn't happen, your wife can continue to get away with it, and I promise with my personality that I will never deal with her again."

Pu Sai Zhao glanced at him disdainfully, and sneered hoarsely, "I don't understand what you're saying."

"Although you have been sentenced to death, if you really say that it will be executed, depending on your age and physical condition, you may not be able to wait until you die." Nanahara Takeshi's smile remained unchanged, "Then I'll add one, as long as my friend comes back safely, I can find a way to make your life in prison more comfortable, there are cigarettes, alcohol, and ham sausages, how about that?"

Pu Sai Zhao lowered his head and smiled happily, "You know what? Originally, I didn't approve of her idea, but at the moment of the explosion, I watched from a distance, and I was really happy, feeling relaxed, and finally worthy of Yoshiko. Now, she must want to be worthy of me.... Do you understand that if I die, she will definitely want to be worthy of me."

Nanahara Takeshi was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I sympathize with your daughter's matter, but this is not a reason for you to bomb everywhere, there are people who don't deserve to die, and you shouldn't have tied up my friend and threatened me to blow her up too..... You are too extreme, and the revenge is excessive, or I should be like you, go and steal the urn of Tianlu Temple Stupa No. 507, and use some means to threaten you.....

Puxi Zhao was stunned for a moment, the happy expression on his face distorted and hideous for a moment, his eyes were ten times colder, and he stared at Nanahara Takeshi, and the handcuffs that were handcuffed to the iron table all collapsed with a crisp sound.

Nanahara Takeshi stepped back slightly, shook his head, and sighed, "But disturb the peace of the dead

It's not right after all, Miss Kako is a simple victim, she has never done anything wrong, I'm still not as shameless as you, even if I went to your house yesterday and rummaged for a long time to find the place where you put Miss Kako, I still don't want to hurt the innocent - that idiot won't be happy that I did this, I didn't say what I threatened just now!"

He also told the truth, this is beyond his bottom line as a man, he will not choose this path until the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and then discussed with Puxi Zhao, "Puxi Sang, if you want to be free, it is a matter between you and the police, and you don't necessarily have to arrest my friend, it is the same with another person." Mystery Man x..... That is, the person who instigated your wife to cause a serial bombing is not well-intentioned, why don't you use him to blackmail the police? That guy is so bored, he must be a good mix, if he doesn't have an identity and social status, maybe it will be better to use him, and I will do my best to help, create public opinion and get the police to agree to exchange hostages, how about we strive for a win-win situation?"

Pu Saizhao's expression relaxed, as if he was pondering, and Nanahara Takeshi looked at him for a while, and said with a slight disappointment: "It turns out that you don't know his true identity, is it that your wife has a direct connection with him?"

Pu Xi Zhao was slightly stunned, but it didn't matter immediately, and said in a weak mosquito voice: "It's good now, you have a way to save me, he said that you will get me out of prison as soon as possible, now that I am already here, please continue!" If it's done, we promise that she won't be harmed, and we won't do anything to you in the future, and we will leave Japan directly."

"He can trade with you, and so can I." Nanahara Takeshi actively sought cooperation, and also said in a very small voice, "Let go of my friend and help me arrest him, he is actually the culprit who should be most responsible for the serial bombings, you are essentially a poor person who was killed, and when the time comes, even if you are guilty of meritorious service, I can also send you away from smuggling."

Pu Xizhao looked at him for a while, lowered his head, and said coldly, "You should go and do something, I want to see my wife."

Nanahara Takeya looked at him for a while, got up and smiled, "Okay, it's a pity, you can call me at any time if you want to change your mind."

............

"How's it going?" As soon as Takeshi Nanahara left the interrogation room, Eri Nakano immediately greeted him, and just now Takeshi Nanahara and Akira Urasai were talking almost in a whisper, and she basically didn't hear anything.

"The good news is that Kiyomi-san is fine for the time being." Nanahara Takeshi touched his chin to sort out the information, and said with a casual smile, "As for other aspects, it won't help much for the time being."

He didn't know anything about the mysterious person X before, but after chatting with Akira Puxi, he now has a vague impression of this person, for example, he seems to have a wide range of doors, Akira Puxi or Akiko Urashi believe that it is not difficult for him to transport people out of the country, and it should be verified, and it may be of great help to turn him out in the next step, that is, he still has no clue about how to save the housework robot.

Of course, the main reason is that Akira Puxi himself only knows about this matter, and does not know the details of the plan, and he can't dig more useful information from him.

Eri Nakano nodded, and then went to bombard Akira Urasai tiredly, and muttered, "Then what else can we do now?"

"I can only wait for Tomoko Pusai to contact us....".

Before Nanahara Takeshi's words fell, the two criminal policemen who were in charge of squatting near Nanahara Takeshi's house hurried over with a package and said to Nakano Eri, "Miss Nakano, there is a package delivered to Nanahara's house."

Eri Nakano took the package and tore it open, and when he found that it was a videotape, he immediately ordered, "Go to the logistics company and ask the sender and the sender location to see if there are any clues."

The two detectives left in response, and Eri Nakano took Takeshi Nanahara to watch the video, and when he saw the picture, he was relieved - Kiyomi Ruri was indeed alive, at least by yesterday evening.

Nanahara Takeshi looked at the "little strong and stubborn" Kiyomi Ruri and smiled dumbly, feeling that this product has been begging for hardship nine times out of ten, otherwise it wouldn't have this expression, and the content of the video is also very simple, Pusai Tomoko asked him to tell the police to release people within 24 hours, and they must not be tracked, otherwise they will start the bomb and publicly blow up Kiyomi Ruri in the downtown area.

At the same time, she swore that as long as Akira Puxi was free, she promised not to hurt Kiyomi Ruri, and would give the address for him to save people by himself.

whole

Seeing that Ruri didn't say a word, he looked at the camera with a "little strong" face, only the messy Liuhai shook slightly, but Eri Nakano quickly noticed that something was wrong, and said directly: "She's blinking, it seems to be regular, is it Morse code?"

This is really a surprise, she didn't expect that Kiyomi Ruri, who usually looks stupid, actually learned Morse code and mastered skills beyond the level of female college students, and it is estimated that Puxi Tomoko didn't expect her to do this trick.

She immediately rewinded and read it again, and quickly translated it, but the more she translated, the more hesitant she became: "F, A, C, E..... FACE？ Face? Face? What was she trying to say?"

The camera is mainly aimed at Kiyomi Ruri who is tied to a chair, but Pusai Chiko only exposes part of her body and half of her arms, even if she only hears her voice and does not see her person, Nakano Eri feels that she should not be wrong - Morse code is also a compulsory subject in this police academy, but the translation is translated, and she can't think of what message Kiyomi Ruri is trying to convey.

Isn't it Morse code?

Kiyomi Ruri is just blinking?

Nanahara Takeshi touched his chin and thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "She should be trying to say 'factory', it's her.... I misspelled it halfway, and I got stuck in the back, and I couldn't remember what the second half of the word was, and it was too late to change my spelling to the kana, so I could only start staring in a daze."

This stupid guy is really speechless, he was kidnapped and showed his true colors as a scumbag, and he could spell the wrong words and forget them, no wonder he failed the English test. When she comes back, she has to talk to her, next time she is kidnapped, if she wants to pass on the information, she will just spell the pseudonym, anyway, it's about the same length, so why bother yourself.

This should be the stupidest hostage in history, he can't catch him even if he has a chance, and he can only provide spam...

Eri Nakano glanced at him unhappily, his girlfriend was tied into a rice dumpling, and there was a time bomb hanging on his chest, can you still laugh? But now is not the time to say such things, she mused, "So, she's in an old factory?"

It looks a bit like it from the lens, although the camera angle is a bit condescending, and it doesn't capture much of the surrounding environment, just a small circle of Kiyomi glass and chairs, but looking at the ground, it does look a bit like an abandoned factory.

But even if it's really in an abandoned factory, it's not easy to find, after all, there are no statistics on this thing, and the hell knows how many similar places there are in Hirano, let alone in the city, suburbs, or outside the city, or even in a satellite town.

In such a large area, it is still difficult to search for less than 24 hours, and it may be that even the suspect doesn't care about exposing this, and he hasn't done anything to cover it up.

But it was better than no clue, and she immediately got up and said, "I'm going to organize people to start a comprehensive search."

"Wait!" Nanahara Takeshi moved his gaze from Kiyomi Ruri to the side of the chair, looked at it twice in rewind, tried to remember for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that there is no need to search, I probably know where she is."

The murderer was too confident, and this place was indeed difficult to find, but something went wrong unexpectedly.
