After completing this operation, he disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only the sound.
"After seeing that only Chiyo Tokui was home, the murderer used the edge of the backyard flower bed to easily climb to the balcony outside the second-floor master bedroom. You can see the door lock I've placed on the table. I removed it from the balcony door. There are very obvious signs of lock picking on it."
Everyone, including Otaki Goro, fixed their eyes on the balcony door lock on the coffee table in the living room. Even an outsider could see several scratches on the outer edge of the door lock. The kidnapper must have been quite nervous as it was his first time committing a crime, otherwise his hands wouldn't have been shaking so much that he couldn't aim at the keyhole and left so many marks.
From the phone came the unhurried voice of Takashi Sosuke, and one could even hear the creaking sound of the door being pushed open:
"The criminal entered the second-floor bedroom along the balcony and began to execute his criminal plan..."

"Mr. Tokui, please sit on the sofa."
"Hey? Okay."
After Tokui Seiji sat on the sofa, Fujiwara Yuu asked again:
"Then please sit on the sofa, Mr. Tokui. You can twist your body around as you like. Can you see me standing at the stairs?"
Tokui Seiji tried to twist his body but it was no use. He found that the stairwell was a blind spot and he couldn't see anything at all. Combined with Officer Takashi's previous hint, as a senior executive of a large company, he naturally understood the meaning of the officer's words. Without changing his expression, he said:
"...Officer Takashi, is this how the kidnapper took my daughter away?"
