After making a phone call home, Takuya Somo drove to the address given by Toshiro Oda.

A mansion in the center of Yonka-cho, with the word Kataoka hanging on the gate of the courtyard.

The search lesson obviously attaches great importance to this kidnapping case, and the search lesson 3 cannot be regarded as a nest.

But it also mobilized a large part of the backbone of the department.

Twilight Thirteen, Shiratori Ren Saburo, Miwako Sato, two police departments in the 3rd department, and one police department are all in place.

Then there are the golden supporting characters of Wataru Takagi, Chiba and Shin, plus a few unnamed dragon sets.

A "luxurious" hostage rescue army was formed.

Shiratori Ren Saburo waited for Zong Takuya's arrival at the gate of the courtyard, and Shiratori greeted him as soon as Zong Takuya got out of the car.

"Counselor, please make this trip." Renzaburo Shiratori, who was born in a large family, always pays attention to his etiquette and image.

Except, of course, when it comes to Miwako Sato's date with Takagi.

"The minister didn't tell me in detail, you came early, what the hell is going on?" Zong Takuya waved his hand to signal that time was pressing.

Later, he asked Shiratori Renzaburo about the details of the Kataoka family's kidnapping case.

While leading Takuya Muneto through the courtyard of the Kataoka family, Ren Saburo Shiratori tells Takuya Muneya the details of the kidnapping case.

"Miss Hasuka Kataoka, who was kidnapped by the gangsters, is the only daughter of Mr. Hanshiro Kataoka, and Miss Hayaka went out shopping last night and never returned.

Tonight, Mr. Hanshiro Kataoka received a blackmail email from the kidnappers, with a video of Miss Hayaka being kidnapped.

and the amount of ransom demanded by the gangsters - 150 million yen.

The gangsters demanded that the money be shared between three companies that do business with the Kataoka Group, namely Imai Electronics, Kato Network, and Nakao Media. ”

When Shiratori Renzaburo said this, the gate of Kataoka's house was already close at hand, but Zong Takuya suddenly stopped and looked at Shiratori Renzaburo unexpectedly.

"Why do the gangsters demand the source of the ransom, and why do they have to share the three companies equally?"

We also asked Mr. Kataoka this question, and according to his secretary, the three companies had recently proposed to Mr. Kataoka at the same time.

I hope to marry his only daughter.

The reason why the kidnappers demanded a share of the ransom from these three companies is not clear for the time being, but I think it has something to do with their proposal. ”

"Ha" Zong Takuya stood thoughtfully in place and thought for a moment.

Originally, he thought that this was just an ordinary kidnapping case, and that it would be good to find out the people step by step.

Now after hearing this from Shiratori, he sensed that this kidnapping case didn't seem to be that simple.

Kidnappers under normal circumstances, who cares about the source of your ransom?

All they care about is the amount of the ransom, not whether it was stolen or robbed.

Normal kidnappers just want that "hard-earned money".

This time, the kidnappers who kidnapped Kataoka Renhua are a little too wide, right?

"Let's go, take me to meet Mr. Kataoka." Zong Takuya thought of a possibility, so he asked Shiratori to lead the way.

Soon Zong Takuya met Kataoka Hanshiro himself.

"Counselor Zong, thank you very much for coming here to help rescue the little girl." Hanshiro Kataoka is a man who looks very dignified.

He didn't smile when talking to other police officers, but when Zong Takuya entered the door, he forced out a smile and greeted Zong Takuya.

After all, Zong Takuya is his hope to save his only daughter.

It was also the reinforcement he personally invited to the Metropolitan Police Department - Hanshiro Kataoka spent a lot of money to ask Zong Takuya to help, and at this time, his business would not be so big.

"Mr. Kataoka, time is pressing." Takuya Zong interrupted Hanshiro Kataoka's meaningless greetings.

He noticed the wine and glasses on the cabinet in the corner of the living room, and thought that the father whose daughter was tied up was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him.

Getting straight to the point is the best option at this time.

"There's no need for extra greetings, I have some questions about Ling Yuan that I want to know."

"Excuse me, I must know everything, and I will say everything." Kataoka Hanshiro nodded immediately, and Zong Takuya's straightforwardness and decisiveness brought him a lot of hope.

"As far as I know, Ling's daughter didn't come home after going out shopping last night, which means that last night was probably the time when Ling Yuan was kidnapped.

But why didn't you wait until today when the kidnappers sent a ransom email to call the police? ”

Kataoka Hanshiro showed a touch of shame: "Actually, the little girl only ran away from home and was found by me a few days ago

At first we all thought she was running away from home again. ”

Understood, this is another rebellious lady from a rich family.

"Can you tell me where she went last time she ran away from home?"

"She joined a traveling theater troupe and became a stage actress, which I learned about after the troupe returned to Tokyo.

When I learned the news, I took the little girl home as soon as possible. ”

"That traveling troupe. There should be a boy who has a good relationship with Ling Yuan, right? There is no need for Kataoka Hanshiro to continue, Zong Takuya almost guessed the whole plot after Kataoka Renhua left home.

Is it another love story between a rich girl and a poor boy?

Hanshiro Kataoka didn't speak, just nodded.

But the old father's silence became more and more deafening at this moment.

"Then, after Ling Yuan was kidnapped, you shouldn't have sent someone to the traveling troupe to confirm it, right?"

"No, no." Hanshiro Kataoka's eyes widened, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

"Mr. Kataoka, don't be angry just yet, this kidnapping case doesn't have to do with the traveling theater troupe.

But the traveling troupe might be able to give us some useful clues. ”

"Officer Takagi."

"Yes, Counsellor." Hearing Takuya Somo call himself, Takagi immediately stood up.

"Please go and bring the head of the traveling troupe here." After Zong Takuya finished speaking, he went to the sofa, where a laptop was placed on the coffee table, and the screen displayed the extortion email from the kidnappers.

Zong Takuya began to play the kidnapping video, and he had already made a judgment in his heart, and sure enough, he found some clues on the video.

In the first part of the video, the curtains of the window behind Renka Kataoka are open, but the curtains are closed in the second half.

It stands to reason that it should be the kidnapper himself who closed the curtains, but Kataoka Renka's head was stained with a little cobweb.

What does this mean?

If you want to pull the curtains, you have to use your hands at least, and the cobwebs on Kataoka's head prove that the curtains were not pulled by the kidnappers.

It's Kataoka Renka herself.

It can't be that the kidnappers untied the rope on Kataoka Renhua in order to pull the curtains, right?

'Double reed? These daughters of rich families will do such a trick together? ’
