Tang Ze looked carefully at the scene outside the window and found that the most noteworthy thing was a cylindrical chimney building in the distance.
Not long after that, the video suddenly turned dim, and the curtains that were originally open in the video were also closed.
From this point, Tang Ze judged that the video should have been edited by someone. It was probably due to backlighting or something like that, so he temporarily turned off the camera and closed the curtains.
The situation seemed unchanged, but those with sharp eyesight could still find subtle differences.
When the curtains were opened, Kataoka Renka's head was clean and free of any foreign objects.
But when the curtains were drawn, there seemed to be something extra on the other person's head.
Tang Ze looked carefully and found that there was a spider web on Kataoka Renka's head!
Looking at the dense spider webs next to the window, a possibility flashed through Tang Ze's mind.
Kataoka Renka...isn't this a fake kidnapping?!
He said this not as a random guess, but because there was a spider web on the other person's head!
Under normal circumstances, if a person is tied up and unable to move, it is impossible for others to put a spider web on his head.
After all, spider webs are easily damaged and there is no way to remove them again. This situation will only happen if you accidentally get stuck on someone's head.
But Kataoka Renka is a hostage. How could the kidnappers let her move around freely and get spider webs on her head?
But this situation has occurred in reality, and there is a possibility that they have never imagined before.
That's a fake kidnapping!
Wherever you go, you will leave traces. This sentence actually not only refers to people's actions, but also includes the reasons for their actions.
Since the spider web on Kataoka Renka's head is a result, we have no choice but to accept it even if the reason is incredible.
Considering the conflict between Kataoka Renka and her father, it is not impossible that the other party colluded with others to carry out a fake kidnapping in order to prevent her from getting married.
In this way, it is understandable that the kidnappers specifically asked for ransom from the companies of her three suitors.
I'm afraid Kataoka Renka wanted to use the story of Princess Kaguya from "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" to make her father understand her thoughts.
If this is the case, then the accomplice of this fake kidnapping can only be someone close to Kataoka Renka.
After all, Kataoka Renka is just a seventeen-year-old girl and doesn't have many connections.
Ito Tamonsuke and his partners in the theater should be the most suspicious, but they came to the Kataoka house to discuss with Kataoka Hanshiro, and their surprise after learning that Kataoka Renka was kidnapped did not seem to be fake.
The possibility that the other party is Kataoka Renka's accomplice is very small.
So the person who is most suspicious among all of them is Kataoka Hanshiro's secretary Soichi Oonuki.
The other party is Kataoka Hanshiro's secretary, and naturally he will obey his daughter's orders because of her father.
And since the other party is someone his father trusts, it proves that he is more reliable than ordinary people.
After all, even if it was just a fake kidnapping, her value was still there. Money can be tempting, but one must be prepared in case the other party turns the fake into reality.
But now it seems that this little girl is still a little naive, and she doesn't know that money can lure out the greed in people's hearts.
That’s right, Tang Ze had almost guessed what would happen next.
I'm afraid this fake kidnapping has now turned into a real kidnapping.
As for the reason?
Haha, even Conan, the disaster star, has come. Could there be some minor misunderstandings?
Thinking of this, Tang Ze glanced at Soichi Ohnuki next to him. This guy was now the number one suspect in his eyes. After all, if he really wanted to get the ransom, he could only do it if he was the one who delivered the ransom.
And it just so happened that the prisoner had designated the secretary to do this task at his request.
This is actually very unreasonable. After all, kidnappers usually ask the hostage's closest and most valued person to deliver the ransom.
This is normal, because only when the person who pays the ransom cares more about the hostage will he obey the kidnapper's orders.
You let an outsider, even a secretary, take the risk to deliver the ransom. No matter how much he values the hostage, can he compare with the hostage's father?
Although this subtle unreasonableness would not normally be noticed, when Tang Ze noticed that this might be a case of "fake becoming real", it became a reason for suspicion.
However, on the surface, Tang Ze still looked calm, but his thoughts were constantly running in his mind.
"Mr. Kataoka, may I go to Miss Renka's room and take a look?"
After a moment of thought, Tang Ze stood up and looked at Kataoka and asked.
"My daughter hasn't been home for half a year." Kataoka Hanshiro frowned when he heard this, but then nodded and said, "Since the officer wants to see it, then go ahead. I'll let Otsuki take you there."
"Thank you." Tang Ze thanked him and then, without paying any attention to Conan who was a little confused, he followed the other party to lead him to Kataoka Renka's room.
He had just watched the video with Ito Tamonsuke and noticed the traces of the other party's spider silk, and had some judgment in his mind.
But before he could think about it carefully, Tang Ze's action beside him interrupted his thoughts, leaving him puzzled.
Because from the video, he didn't notice any clues that required him to go to the other person's room to check.
However, he also knew that since Tang Ze's actions must have a deeper meaning, there was no need to follow in his footsteps.
Similarly, he didn't believe that the other party didn't notice the unusual thing in the video.
