Turning his attention back to the computer, Tang Ze operated the mouse for a while, and then began to carefully watch the video of Kataoka Renka being kidnapped on the mailbox.
It can be clearly seen in the video that Kataoka Renka is in a slightly old room, and the curtains on the windows are blocked, making the room a little dim.
Her condition was not very good either. Her mouth was sealed with tape. Although she struggled hard, the ropes on her body restricted her movements.
When he saw the murderer for the first time, he frowned and felt that this kidnapping case was a bit troublesome.
This tactic is common in international crime and is used all over the world.
"Mr. Taicang, I wonder where these three companies that demanded the ransom came from." Tang Ze took a look at the ransom demand on the computer and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Okanari." Kataoka Hanshiro took a sip of wine with some annoyance and signaled his secretary to explain.
With his daughter missing at this moment, he really didn't have the mood to deal with the police's questioning.
"Yes..." Secretary Ohnuki, who was wearing glasses, responded and then explained to everyone, "Actually, these three companies are companies that have recently had business dealings with us."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro was a little confused when he heard this. He touched his chin and said, "Then why did the kidnappers specifically designate these three families to prepare the ransom?"
"That's because..." Secretary Onuki looked at Kataoka Hanshiro after hearing this, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, obviously having some concerns.
"It's okay, tell them, Soichi. Now is not the time to worry about these things." Kataoka Hanshiro said.
"I see."
Oonuki Mune nodded, then looked at the crowd and explained, "In fact, the managers of these three companies have recently proposed to Mr. Kataoka for Miss Renka at the same time."
"Eh? This is just like that story..." Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and pondered: "Yes, Snow White!"
"No, Dad!" Xiaolan hurriedly leaned over to his father's ear and whispered, "You should be talking about Kaguya-hime!"
"Haha... you can say that..." When Maori Kogoro heard his daughter's reminder, his old face turned red and he laughed awkwardly.
"Kaguya-sama..."
After hearing Kogoro Mori's description, Karasawa, who was standing by, couldn't help but frowned subconsciously.
Because when I heard Conan talking about the reason why they were involved in the case, he mentioned that Kataoka Renka played "Hime Kaguya" in the theater.
As a teacher of "Science Law", Tang Ze vaguely felt that there must be some connection between the two.
After all, this is also a classic routine in scientific cases, which is to make the legendary story somewhat similar to the circumstances of the case currently happening.
Just as Tang Ze was thinking, another strange man knocked on the door and walked in, then whispered something in Oonuki Soichi's ear.
After that, the other party came to Kataoka Hanshiro and whispered it again.
"Humph, kick him out!"
After hearing what Ohnuki Soichi said, Kataoka Hanshiro snorted coldly and said angrily, "It's already this late, and you still dare to use such an excuse to evade me? Let him use such lame excuses to fool children!"
"Excuse me, what happened?" Looking at the furious Kataoka Hanshiro, Inspector Megure asked.
"Actually, it's one of the three suitors I just mentioned."
Oonuki Muneichi glanced at Kataoka Hanshiro beside him. Seeing he didn't react, he continued to explain, "We told him about Miss Renhua, but he said his company wasn't doing well and couldn't help us with the ransom."
"Humph, you lie without blinking!" Kataoka Hanshiro said angrily, "You're just afraid of getting into trouble and being tainted by scandal.
My daughter Lianhua's life is less important to him than the company's reputation, and yet he dares to ask to marry my daughter. It really makes me so angry!"
"But what about the ransom the kidnappers demand?" Inspector Megure asked worriedly.
"I've already prepared the ransom, but I'm just using his company's name on the surface." Kataoka Hanshiro snorted coldly, "But I will never marry my daughter to such a man!"
"That means he's lost the right to propose to the princess." Maori Kogoro touched his chin and said, "I feel like this is more like the story of 'Kaguya-sama'..."
"The other two have already handed over the designated ransom amount." Daikan Muneichi explained the situation. "As soon as the time comes, I will deliver the money to the designated location requested by the prisoner."
"For now, we can only do what the criminals ask..." Maori Kogoro pondered for a moment and said, "We can only wait and see what happens next..."
"Our police will also conduct a search operation with the top priority of rescuing your daughter." Officer Megure looked at Kataoka Hanshiro and said reassuringly, "Don't worry."
After the details of the case and the payment of the ransom were discussed, the room fell into a long silence. Everyone waited quietly for time to pass until the kidnappers demanded the ransom.
Taking advantage of this time, Tang Ze finally had time to start watching the video carefully.
The video is not too long and there is no overall change in the scene. It just shows Renka Kataoka being tied up in the room.
There are some slight changes in the video though.
At the beginning, the windows of the room were open, and the sunlight outside was facing the camera, so some scenes outside could be seen.
