Chapter 2597 2609 [Snatch the Tool Man]

Vodka: "I had a headache at the time and didn't think much about it. It wasn't until I heard that a child was kidnapped that I realized something was wrong - and then there was the flower pot that fell from the upstairs. That kind of decorative flower pot is usually placed on the ground. There is no way it could have fallen from the window inexplicably and 'just happened' to almost hit me. I think..."

Inspector Megure understood his hint: "The kidnapper thought you saw his face, so he wanted to silence you!"

Vodka nodded to the policeman: "Yeah!"

"How ridiculous!" Inspector Megure was furious. Someone actually dared to attack the younger brother of his beloved brother. "Takagi, Kamikawa, follow Mr. Yamada and protect him. Everyone else, search the hospital immediately - the guy who hit people with the flowerpot might still be here, we can't let him go!"

"yes!"

The police officers took immediate action, and Officer Takagi and an honest-looking police officer came to Vodka.

In addition to escorting, there are of course other things to do. Officer Takagi took out his notebook: "Mr. Yamada, do you remember the time when that man bumped into you and what he looked like?"

Halfway through his speech, Officer Gao Mu looked at Vodka belatedly, his eyes lingering on his hospital gown: "By the way, there are so many things that I forgot to ask - why are you hospitalized here?"

Vodka: “…”

He didn't want to be seen as a psychopath, so Vodka cleared his throat and said righteously, "It's not important, let's do the right thing first!"

"Okay!" Officer Gao Mu was very touched. The witness was so cooperative that he couldn't hold back. He asked again, "How much do you remember about the kidnapper who bumped into you? Can you describe his general appearance?"

"Let me think... He's probably a high school student, looks like a good student, and can often be seen on the news."

Vodka wanted to say this, but he lacked the courage. In the end, he could only take a deep breath and swallow his words: "The collision was too sudden, I didn't see his face clearly, I only vaguely remember that he was a young man with permed and dyed hair."

——Accomplice of the kidnapper, did you hear me clearly? I didn't see anything! It's worthless to kill a passerby like me. Instead of this, you might as well use your time to do something more useful, such as stop murdering immediately and get a buzz cut!

"But then again." Vodka looked at Gao Mu on the left, and then at the honest police officer on the right. After calming down, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart:

"I used to run away when I saw the police, but now I have two policemen protecting me... It feels so good to be treated like a guest of honor by the enemy. No wonder Uzo likes to hang out with the police every day."

"Humph, thinking of using the police to scare me is really naive - even if I don't look that smart, the same trick can't work on me countless times. This time I'll let you see my ability to respond! If you can use the police, so can I."

Thinking of this, Vodka perfunctorily responded to the police officer beside him while secretly looking at Jiang Xia.

But Jiang Xia was not shocked at all. The young man just walked over with a smile and put a bunch of white flowers in his arms: "I heard that you were in the hospital a long time ago, but I was always tripped up by various things. I didn't have time to visit you until today. Don't worry, in order to prevent your hospitalization from being too boring, I will come to accompany you more often in the future."

Vodka: “…”

Officer Takagi was touched: Jiang Xia was so busy, but he still took time out to visit his fans. Mr. Yamada was a fan to this extent, he could die with peace of mind.

"No, what am I thinking? This is too unlucky!" Officer Takagi came to his senses and shook his head secretly. He muttered to himself, "Maybe I was distracted by the color of Jiang Xia's bouquet. It is rare to send white flowers to a patient, but I heard that young people nowadays rarely stick to the formality of sending flowers, but will choose a bouquet that the other person likes - by the way, if I can invite Officer Sato out for dinner, what kind of flowers should I send?"

A policeman's thoughts drifted away quietly.

…

"Mr. Yamada" was unable to provide much useful information, and was unable to recall the kidnapper's appearance.

After Inspector Megure was surprised, he felt disappointed, but there was nothing he could say: Mr. Yamada had fallen to the point of being hospitalized, and they couldn't force a patient to help them solve the case.

So he had to calm down and return to his normal routine.

The group followed Kataoka's father to Kataoka's house and pretended that they were seriously raising money.

Once they arrived at the place, Inspector Megure closed the curtains of the living room, skillfully arranged for the technicians to prepare the tracking equipment, and then waited with bated breath for the kidnapper's call.

Not long after, the bell rang.

Kataoka's father was startled and instinctively looked at the police.

Inspector Megure nodded slightly at him. Kataoka's father took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello?"

The kidnapper's cold voice came: "Have you raised enough money?"

"Of course." Kataoka's father glanced at the bag containing cash and a locator next to him and confirmed nervously, "You will release Xiaochun when you get the money, right?"

The kidnapper looked at his watch and said, "Meet under the clock tower of Dajin Park at 12 o'clock. By the way, I heard that you like fitness. I won't trade with you. Let the woman named Ezaki Sachiko go with the money."

After saying that, without giving the other party time to ask questions, he hung up the phone.

The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the beautiful woman beside them.

Miwako Sato thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll pretend to be Miss Ezaki and go there in her place."

Inspector Megure was about to nod, but Sachiko Ezaki took a deep breath and stood up: "I'd better go - that person actually mentioned my name, which means he might know me. If he finds out that the person who went is not the right one and refuses to let him go... things will be troublesome."

Mr. Kataoka said worriedly, "But, Sachiko, if they catch you too..."

Sachiko Ezaki said calmly, "They don't need to take so many hostages - don't worry, I will act according to the circumstances and bring Xiaochun back safely."

“…”

…

At the young stepmother's insistence, the police finally agreed to her proposal.

Officer Sato put a mini microphone on her and said, "Ms. Ezaki, we will be following you about 500 meters behind. If something goes wrong, give a signal immediately and we will be there right away."

The enthusiastic detective also lent a hand. Jiang Xia said, "I will protect you from a closer distance... But it would be awkward for me to go alone. Why don't I help Mr. Yamada over and pretend to take a patient to relax. This will also reduce the other side's vigilance."

Vodka: “???”
