Chapter 1705 1713 [There is a father-daughter relationship, but not much]
Vermouth: “…” However, if Uzo really doesn’t come to school today, do I need to make a special trip here tomorrow?
Vermouth pointed a finger at her forehead and began to recall her schedule - she found that when dealing with matters related to Uzo, she always needed to reserve extra time to deal with his troublesome scripts that were either long-planned or improvised.
…
riverside.
The crane rumbled and finally lifted the van that fell into the water out of the water and placed it on the shore.
The wet car quickly created a water stain under him. Inspector Megure ran over to check the situation of the kidnappers and hostages in the car.
Jiang Xia dispersed the cat puppet that served as a camera and followed him.
Amuro Toru was also somewhat concerned about this matter, but wearing that doll costume, he was extremely conspicuous no matter what he did. Even if he was disguised, he had to restrain himself in front of the camera, and in the end he had to act as a mascot and stand among the group of people in the program group.
Next to the van.
Inspector Megure looked serious, but his tone was somewhat reluctant: "At that speed, they rushed into the water and stayed in the water for a while. It is unlikely that the passengers survived."
He originally thought he would see two floating corpses in the car, but the result was...
Jiang Xia finished reading first: "No one is in the car."
The frogman who was busy in the river also came up. He took off his respirator and walked over to report: "No body was found in the river, but the car window was open and the current was fast, so the body might have been washed away."
"Body? Are you saying my daughter is dead?!" Takei Katsuhiko came to his senses and rushed over and yelled, "I trusted you so much and gave you everything, and what happened?"
When he got excited, he grabbed Jiang Xia by the collar and shook her vigorously: "Is this how you repay my trust? Naoko, give me my Naoko back!"
Jiang Xia was a little confused by his shaking: "..." I seem to have just arrived? How did the responsibility fall on me? Do I look like a police chief?
Yoko Kinoshita couldn't bear it anymore, so she went over to comfort Katsuhiko Takei and finally made him let go of her hand.
Under the gentle comfort of the young and beautiful idol, Takei Katsuhiko burst into tears: "If I had known this would happen, I would have paid the ransom myself without telling the police! My daughter, my daughter!"
The camera captured the grief-stricken look of this good father.
Inspector Megure glanced at the camera, sweating profusely, and glanced at Jiang Xia repeatedly: "..." Brother Jiang Xia, solve the case quickly! If you delay any longer, the reputation of the police will fall again.
Jiang Xia was still looking at the car and didn't notice the signal he sent.
Amuro Toru saw it, he crossed his arms and sneered silently: Can it fall any lower? It's almost reached the bottom, how were these colleagues trained? They really need to be retrained.
…
The van that was pulled out of the river was not seriously damaged.
This car seemed to have been modified. A big hole was knocked out of the steel guardrail by the river, but the hood was not deformed at all, the doors were closed properly, and even most of the windows were intact. Only the window on the driver's seat was broken.
"Why is only one window broken?" Conan felt something was wrong. He avoided the camera and whispered, "Even if the impact point was indeed near the driver's seat, the front window of the car is intact. This is too deliberate."
Jiang Xia is much taller than a first-grade student. He can see the details clearly without climbing into the car. He pointed to a corner and said, "There is a window-breaking hammer over there. The car window was smashed open. The kidnappers must have planned it in advance. The frogman who went into the water just now was wrong - what was carried away by the water was not a corpse, but a living person."
"So that's it!" A loud voice suddenly sounded next to him.
Brother Megure, who accidentally heard their conversation, was very relieved: "As long as the person is alive, there is hope." He turned to look at his subordinates, "Search nearby immediately!"
Miwako Sato felt something was wrong and whispered, "The kidnapper broke the car window because he was worried that he would not be able to shake off the police, so he deliberately jumped into the river to escape. He may be alive, but what about the hostages in the back seat? I heard from people at the scene that the hostages were tied up and even blindfolded, so they couldn't escape with the kidnappers."
Inspector Megure was stunned, and thought of a terrible situation: "So the hostage is dead, but the kidnapper is still alive?"
He couldn't help but clench his fists: Watching an innocent life slip away before his eyes, this feeling is really uncomfortable. If he had known this, he would rather have encountered a murder case directly...
Memu Police Department: "...?"
...No, that's not right, how can you think like that!
It would be best if there were no cases at all, or if we could always save people before anyone died. That would be best!
He corrected his thoughts that were about to go astray in his mind, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "The most urgent task is to confirm the life and death of the kidnappers and hostages. We must find them alive or dead! Go and have people guard the downstream and send more people to salvage the bodies."
…
Even if the probability of the hostage's death is 99%, as long as there is a 1% chance of survival, we cannot give up.
but……
"Tell me, how did the hostage get out of the car?" Sato Miwako came close to Jiang Xia, feeling that something was wrong with the whole incident. "The car door couldn't be opened in the water, and there was only a narrow window as an exit. The hostage was in the back seat. Even if the kidnappers didn't forget to take the hostage with them when they escaped, and dragged her and stuffed her out of the window, it would be easy to scratch the remaining window frame regardless of whether the hostage lost consciousness or struggled instinctively. But we tested it and there was no blood stain at all on the car."
Jiang Xia guessed her thoughts: "Do you think the hostages and the kidnappers are in cahoots? After the car fell into the water, the hostages took the initiative to follow the kidnappers and left?"
Miwako Sato nodded: "It's very likely, otherwise there is no other explanation."
"There are other explanations, but what you said should be correct." Jiang Xia said seriously, "I suggest that we first find a way to contact the people around Mr. Wu Jui and select the target from them." By the way, see who is the murderous aura.
As he was speaking, Katsuhiko Takei on the other side looked at his watch and showed an anxious look.
Jiang Xia saw it, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My appointment with a client is up." Takei Katsuhiko glanced at the river, hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision, "I have to go."
Sato Miwako was shocked: "Going to meet clients now?"
The child had just been kidnapped and his life or death was unknown after he fell into the water, and this person actually wanted to go to work?
Katsuhiko Takei was like a powder keg ready to explode: "What else can I do? I've already lost my daughter, are you going to make me lose my career too?"
In the middle of his rant, he suddenly remembered that there was a camera filming nearby. He barely controlled his temper and looked at Jiang Xia impatiently: "If you have anything to say, come to my house in an hour and talk. Don't bring these reporters and cameras with you. I'm leaving first."
Then he actually got into his car and left in a hurry.
