The sky was turning white, the rising sun showed its gentle smile, and slowly climbed out of the hill.
Keigo Atobe, who had fallen into a sound sleep due to exhaustion from overdrawn energy, was woken up by his younger brother.
"Brother, wake up, it's dawn."
Atobe Kagemitsu shook his brother who was lying beside him.
"Dad...Mom..."
Atobe Keigo rubbed his eyes and sat up. The fatigue and discomfort emanating from sleeping on the hard pile of stones gradually woke him up.
"Guangguang, didn't we agree that each of us would rest for half the night? Why didn't you call me?"
After Atobe Keigo regained consciousness, he raised his hand and grabbed his younger brother with some dissatisfaction.
Atobe Kagemitsu held him back, eyes full of innocence and said obediently: "Brother, sleep a little longer, and I will also take a short break in the middle, it's okay, we will try our best to find the person today, okay?"
Atobe Keigo looked at the fatigue and dark circles under his brother's eyes and exposed him unhappily: "Humph, you are lying! Your dark circles are obviously super heavy! As heavy as ink!"
He stamped his feet, then sighed, and with the momentum of a brother, he ordered domineeringly:
"It's seven o'clock now. I'll stay by Guangguang's side, and you can get some sleep! We'll set out at ten o'clock, and then we'll speed up on the road. We'll definitely be able to find people before dark!"
After saying that, he was worried that his tone was too harsh and would make his brother sad, so he softened his tone, touched his brother's head, and said, "Be good, listen to your brother, okay?"
"good."
Atobe Kagemitsu looked at his brother who he could not disobey and nodded obediently.
"I'm sorry, brother, for making you worry."
Atobe Keigo let Keimitsu lie on his lap, stretched out his hands to hold his brother, and regardless of his rumbling stomach, he said, "Keimitsu, I want to make a very important promise with you, okay?"
Jing Guang nodded, and without asking what it was, he said directly, "Okay."
Jingwu grinned and teased him, "You didn't even ask me what it was, really."
This is too easy to fool, isn't it? My brother won't be deceived by others in the future, right?
"I hope..."
His chubby face is cute and serious, his voice is childish but full of seriousness,
"My brother, that is you, Atobe Keigo, no matter what happens in the future, you must not lie to Atobe Keigo, okay?"
He looked at his well-behaved brother in his arms, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, and asked anxiously: "...If it is really difficult, you can choose not to tell me, but you can't lie to me, okay?"
Atobe Kagemitsu instantly understood what his brother was concerned about, nodded, and responded seriously on that similar little face: "Okay, I won't do that again, brother."
I won't lie to you again!! Definitely!
Upon hearing this, Keigo Atobe narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and hugged his younger brother, imitating what his mother did when he was a child, gently patting his brother's back and watching him fall asleep quickly.
Three hours later, Atobe Keigo called his brother as agreed.
The two brothers carefully extinguished the remaining fire around them and continued on their way, following the direction of the river.
On the other hand, Shinichi Atobe mobilized the forces of the underworld and the entire strength of the Tokyo police, and also mobilized the help of the Akashi family and the Suzuki family to search all of Japan for the two children, the Kuroda father and son, Kiyoshima Yoshiko and others.
The lights in the Atobe family's mansion were kept on all night.
.......
At 12:30 in the morning, the police finally found the four people at the airport who were disguised and preparing to escape by boarding a plane.
After being arrested, the Kuroda father and sons insisted that they did not participate in the kidnapping and were just traveling abroad for normal fun.
Trapped in the interrogation room for six or seven hours a night, without a drop of water or rest, under the relentless high-pressure interrogation,
Kiyoshima Yoshiko finally broke down first, and she confessed: The two young masters of the Atobe family were taken away by Kuroda Sozan and Kuroda Taro at around 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was said that they found a secret place to hide, and she and Kuroda Jiro were waiting for news there.
In the evening, when Kuroda Munezan came back, he said that he had received the ransom and had released the two young masters.
Shinichi Atobe stood outside the interrogation room, looking at the woman inside.
The psychologist nearby concluded: "She didn't lie, but the people in the Kuroda family may not be the same."
Then, after two hours of continuous attempts by the police, with the help of an interrogation expert seconded by Akashi Seiji from the Public Security Bureau, and some special means, they finally succeeded in digging the truth out of Taro Kuroda.
"We took the two children to the Humo Mountain in the deepest part of Nagano, tied their hands and feet, bound their mouths and blindfolded them, and threw them into the ravine."
He stared maliciously at the opaque one-way glass of the torture room.
His intuition told him that Shinichi Atobe must be there!
He laughed unscrupulously, "Shinichi Atobe, I know you are there, but unfortunately, there are wolves, tigers, poisonous insects and snakes there. Your two tender little cubs have their hands and feet trapped and their mouths blocked. They can neither shout nor run away. I'm afraid they have already become the beasts' meal~Hahahaha——"
