Chapter 2472 2484 [Psychologist's Interview]
While the police are busy investigating.
Dr. Shirai, who had just sneaked into the house, was wearing a courier uniform and wandering around the living room and corridor of the Domoto family, looking at the expensive decorations everywhere.
Noticing someone parked next to him, he turned his head and saw the young detective.
"..." Doctor Shirai couldn't help but feel guilty about being caught slacking off. He looked at the detective with a somewhat hostile gaze, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia approached in a friendly manner: "I heard that you are a psychiatrist - which of the three hostages' family members do you think has problems?"
Doctor Shirai was startled, and heard something from his words: "You suspect the kidnapper, or the mastermind behind the kidnapping, is among those three people?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
Dr. Shirai: "..." How did you know that? Why didn't I notice it? ...By the way, why are you telling me this? Are you trying to show off that your observation skills are better than mine?
He immediately disliked the detective even more, but he couldn't show his weakness in front of the young man. After a brief thought, Dr. Shirai smiled and said, "Many ignorant people have misunderstandings about psychiatrists - we are just doctors, not mind readers. Rather than guessing what the patient is thinking, we are actually better at identifying their symptoms and then prescribing the right medicine."
After a pause, he showed an unfathomable smile and said, "I can only say that the three of them are very nervous. As for finding out the specific reason for their nervousness, that is the job of you police officers and detectives. I am just a doctor helping with first aid today."
"I see." Jiang Xia sighed, "I understand."
…
After all, he was someone else's doctor, and seeing that the other party had no interest in chatting, Jiang Xia did not force a conversation.
He was strolling around casually when he saw a sneaky kid.
"Did you notice that the housekeeper's reaction was a little strange?" Conan saw Jiang Xia coming over and whispered to him, "Especially when she mentioned the kidnapped President Domoto, her expression seemed to be a little resentful."
Jiang Xia nodded, and at the same time gave a nod to the doctor: "..." What kind of vision does Vodka have? The doctor he found has less observation ability than an elementary school student... Instead of running around the hospital randomly, he might as well come and talk to Conan more often.
He shook his head in frustration and temporarily focused on the case at hand: "Go ask her."
Soon, the two found Grandma Changdai who was alone in deep thought in the lounge next to them.
"Do I have a grudge against President Domoto?" Grandma Changdai sighed, "How could that be? I'm just a little dissatisfied with his character - his son-in-law has always been very serious about the company's affairs, but President Domoto is very dissatisfied with his son-in-law. He often slams the table and scolds him, saying that he has no momentum, is not like a man, and is a useless piece of mud.
"Sometimes I really can't understand why President Domoto is so gentle to other people, but he is so mean to Mr. Qiu Cheng... And Miss Domoto, at first she would speak up for her husband, but recently she has completely sided with her father and always scolds Mr. Qiu Cheng together with President Domoto."
Grandma Changdai shook her head at the relationship between the two families. "If I were Mr. Qiu Cheng, I would definitely not be able to bear this. Rather than being bullied like this every day, I would rather divorce and leave this company. But a friend in need is a friend indeed. In this kidnapping incident, Mr. Qiu Cheng did not shirk his responsibilities at all. Instead, he took care of everything. If it weren't for him, Miss Domoto and I really don't know what to do."
…
Not long after, Inspector Megure also received new information.
The police officer who went out to investigate the deceased kidnapper's interpersonal relationships reported: "We found several friends of the deceased. According to them, about a week ago, the deceased suddenly became very happy and spent money lavishly."
"Huh?" This change in economic conditions was obviously alarming, but the kidnapping had just happened, and a week ago, the kidnappers should not have received any ransom.
Inspector Megure was a little confused: "Could it be that he also carried out a kidnapping a week ago and successfully got the ransom, but because no one called the police, we didn't find out?"
Jiang Xia walked over from Grandma Changdai, holding a cup of tea. "There is another possibility - he earned a lot of money in other ways last week, such as being hired by someone."
"!" Inspector Megure thought it made sense, and he said to his subordinates on the phone, "Go check the source of the deceased's funds immediately, maybe that was his accomplice of the kidnappers!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little strange: "Speaking of which, based on my experience in kidnapping cases, if the kidnapper who came to collect the money has no news for a long time, then his accomplices should have been anxious to find out the news... But this time, the hostage's family has not received any inquiries from the kidnapper's accomplices. Could it be..."
His expression suddenly became serious: "Is there a traitor among us?!"
Everyone: “!”
Inspector Megure looked at them sharply and said, "To be on the safe side, could you show me your cell phones? I want to see your communication records."
…
When Inspector Megure was busy looking for the traitor.
Jiang Xia looked down at Conan.
Conan: “…”
He wanted to pretend that he didn't understand, but in the end he could only take a deep breath and start fulfilling his duties as a naughty child.
After following Conan around the rooms, I had collected most of the clues.
Jiang Xia returned to the living room and took a look at the map that Mrs. Domoto had just found.
Inspector Megure saw that he looked thoughtful and quickly moved closer: "Brother Jiang Xia, what did you find?"
Jiang Xia pointed at the map and said, "According to common sense, after the kidnappers get the ransom, they will reunite with their accomplices as soon as possible."
"And in this case, if we connect the location where the ransom was placed with the location where the kidnapper died, and extend it forward..." He ran his finger across the map and stopped on an icon, "you can see a name that looks familiar."
Inspector Megure took a closer look and saw the words "Domoto Metal" written there.
"Doumoto?" He was startled and turned to ask Mrs. Doumoto for confirmation, "Is this place related to your family?"
Mrs. Domoto nodded and said, "This is my family's former factory. Half a year ago, my family's factory moved to Dongmihua, and this factory was abandoned and no longer used."
"Abandoned factories... Places like these where few people go and where there are many empty rooms are the favorite hideouts of kidnappers!" Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and he turned to his subordinates, "Go there immediately. Also, the action must be covert so as not to alert the guys who may be hiding there!"
Soon, cars filled with police officers started rumbling towards the suburban factory.
