Looking at everyone lost in thought, Tang Ze paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to digest the news before continuing:

"The priority now is to investigate the connection between the hostages and the prisoners.

Secondly, we will investigate any places near Beika Town that are accessible to everyone but could hold Miyamori Takao captive."

“There aren’t many places like this.”

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "The situation has spread from Chiba Kouta's house, and we have also searched nearby places like the Rice Flower Park.

At present, it seems that we can only try to find the connection between the two parties and see if we can find anything."

“Found it!”

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Bai Niao walked over with a piece of intelligence: "We have investigated the further relationship between the two parties.

When Kouta Chiba was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he lived in Beika Town.

It was only ten minutes away from where he was arrested, in the apartment he rented.

In addition, at the same convenience store, the camera captured Chiba Kouta coming to buy something around 2 o'clock last night.

In other words, Chiba Kouta must have imprisoned Miyamori Takao somewhere nearby!"

"Okay, then, Takagi and Sato, you two will lead the investigation centered around the criminal's current residence, and Chiba and Shiratori, you will investigate his former residence!"

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order: "These two places are not far from each other. Communicate and determine your respective areas. Make sure not to miss any of them!"

"yes!!"

The criminals responded one after another and left in a hurry.

Watching the criminals hurriedly leave, Tang Ze stopped the four people leading the team, Takagi, and asked them to remember to continue inquiring about the situation of Chiba Kouta's family during the search and investigation.

If it is really because of hatred, then the two sides must have a deeper involvement.

Then knowing Chiba Kouta's motive will be of great help to the subsequent investigation.

After hearing what Tang Ze said, Takagi and others nodded and said that they would notify their subordinates to pay attention, and then hurried away.

As for Karasawa and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, they followed Inspector Megure to the interrogation room.

He is an expert in psychology and micro-expressions, so having him here will be more effective than having him go down as a soldier to search.

But when Tang Ze entered the interrogation room and saw the suspect Chiba Kouta, whom he had seen in the photo before, he felt a pang in his heart after looking into his eyes while sitting opposite him, and felt that the situation was difficult.

What kind of eyes are those?

It was dark and dead silent without a single ripple, just like a walking corpse.

To be honest, Tang Ze is not afraid of violent and angry prisoners, but he is most troubled by those prisoners who are calm and peaceful.

Because he was well versed in psychology and profiling, he knew that there was nothing to care about or miss about such people.

He knew what price his actions would cost, but he had accepted the price and consequences just to achieve his goal.

But what needs to be done still needs to be done. After Tang Ze and Inspector Megure sat down together, he immediately spoke: "Chiba Kouta, do you still want to ask about the time?"

"No."

When Chiba Kouta heard Tang Ze's words, he looked up at Tang Ze and slowly shook his head and said, "Ever since you told me the time, I have been counting down.

Although it’s not exactly accurate, I can estimate the time roughly.”

Hearing this, Tang Ze frowned slightly. Originally, he did not question the other party right away, but asked the other party if he needed to know the time, which was a way to help and ease the positions of both parties.

But Chiba Kouta's words clearly showed his attitude.

"It's useless. No matter what you say today, I will kill him today."

As expected, no matter how Inspector Megure asked, the other party acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't say a word.

Even an experienced detective like Inspector Megure was furious, but he couldn't do anything about him.

But time is not on their side. Watching the time pass by bit by bit, Inspector Megure is really on pins and needles.

However, at half past five, Inspector Megure finally received some good news.

Because of Tang Ze's instructions, the police did not forget to visit and investigate during the search.

Later, he learned the truth of the matter from a neighbor with whom Chiba Kouta had a good relationship when he was a child.

According to what the aunt said, Chiba's family is very pitiful.

Chiba Kouta's father used to run a company, but unfortunately it went bankrupt.

Afterwards, Chiba Kouta's father and son were in a car accident near Tokyo Bay while driving, and his father died.

Although Chiba Kouta, who was still a child, was not seriously injured, his mother suffered a heavy blow.

Afterwards, the mother and son sold their house and reportedly went to live with relatives.

But according to the investigation, the two went to live in Beihu, relying on the money from selling the house to live and pay for their mother's medical treatment.

After learning this, Tang Ze and others left the interrogation room and went to the investigation headquarters to continue their investigation into the accident that year.

Although it was an accident, it was a murder after all, so the whole story was quickly investigated.

"Kang Taijun, we have already investigated it thoroughly."

Inspector Megure looked at Chiba Kouta and said, "Back then, your father and Miyamori ran the company together.

After your father passed away, you gave the insurance money to Mr. Miyamori to continue running the company.

The insurance money was collected according to normal procedures. Logically speaking, given what happened and your mother's illness, you should have been able to live on this money."
