Chapter 2473 2485 [Case Closed]
The convoy sped all the way to the Domoto family's abandoned factory.
Domoto's son-in-law jumped out of the car and ran towards the gate, but because his hands were shaking, he failed to put the key into the lock several times.
"I'll do it!" Inspector Megure couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the key and opened the door neatly.
Rushing into the warehouse and sweeping the flashlight, a fat figure was reflected in the corner of the warehouse. The group hurried over and exclaimed in surprise after seeing clearly: "It's President Domoto!"
"Let me take a look." Doctor Shirai walked over quickly and checked. Soon, he breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, although the patient had fainted, he could still be saved - so the evidence he had in his hand could come in handy again.
He gave the man some simple treatment and sent him to the ambulance.
Mrs. Domoto hurriedly followed and accompanied her father to the hospital.
The son-in-law hesitated for a moment and wanted to go over. But before he could do so, a voice stopped him: "Wait."
Domoto’s son-in-law: “?!”
His heart skipped a beat and he slowly turned around and saw the detective next to him.
Jiang Xia looked at the hesitant murderous aura on him and sighed disapprovingly: "You don't seem to want to rescue Mr. Domoto before the deadline - don't you have anything to say about this kidnapping case?"
Domoto Akinari's face turned pale: "...I don't understand what you mean."
Jiang Xia: "Compared to seeking money, this kidnapping actually has another purpose - I heard that after you married Mrs. Domoto, you were often scolded by your father-in-law, and recently even your wife began to complain about you, is that true?"
Domoto Akinari clenched his fists and said nothing. Beside him, Inspector Megure understood what the detective meant: "You mean..."
Jiang Xia nodded at him: "The real planner of this kidnapping case is actually Mr. Domoto Akinari."
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Domoto Akinari finally managed to organize his words. He said sternly, "I stayed at home all day to deal with work. How could I have the time to kidnap my father? Grandma Changdai can testify for me on this point!"
Jiang Xia: "I heard from Grandma Changdai that when you entered the study at around nine o'clock, you specifically told her that you had to concentrate on your work and asked her not to disturb you. So until she received the call from the kidnappers at 11 o'clock in the morning, she did not enter the study where you were.
"The study is on the first floor. During this time, you can climb through the window into the yard and leave quietly.
"After leaving home, you drove over to catch up with President Domoto who was walking alone, pretended to have something important to talk to him about, and invited him into your car. Then you brought him to this factory, turned on him and tied him up.
“After dealing with the hostages, you drove home quickly and climbed back into the study through the window.
"At this time, a 'kidnapper' called the Domoto family's landline. After answering the phone, Grandma Changdai transferred the call to the study as the other party said. After that, you can act into the phone and create the illusion that 'there is a kidnapper demanding a ransom'."
At this point, Jiang Xia looked down at Conan and said, "Conan suddenly disappeared just now. When I was looking for him, I entered your study by mistake, and then I saw some traces of motor oil residue on your windowsill. This is because when you came to this abandoned factory, the soles of your shoes were stained with oil stains on the floor of the warehouse, so when you climbed through the window to go home, you accidentally stained them on the windowsill."
Conan said quickly: "Speaking of which, when I was looking for toys, I found a few pieces of paper thrown into Uncle Qiu Cheng's trash can. There was also black oil on those papers! These should be the tissues used to wipe the soles of shoes."
Inspector Megure couldn't help but glance at him, his thoughts were a little vague: "..." He found the toy in the trash can? It seems that he should wash his hands frequently after carrying Conan in the future, in case this child has just been wandering around in some corner.
but……
Inspector Megure scratched his head, feeling that something was missing in this story.
Suddenly he remembered: "Wait, from this point of view, how come Mr. Qiu Cheng did everything by himself? What about the kidnapper who died in the car accident? Wasn't he an accomplice in this kidnapping case?"
Jiang Xia: "Although he is an accomplice, he probably doesn't know much. He may not even know that this is a kidnapping case - in order to avoid the trouble of silencing him, Mr. Qiu Cheng didn't reveal too much. He probably just paid the dead 'kidnapper' to do two simple things.
"The first was to call the Domoto family's landline at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. today using a pay phone.
"The second thing is to come to Beika Park at a specific time, take a suitcase, and then take the suitcase to the Domoto family's abandoned factory and throw it into the yard through the wall."
"For the sake of the final payment, the deceased 'kidnapper' made two phone calls on time and went to the park to pick up the suitcase containing the ransom."
Jiang Xia looked at Domoto Akinari: "If this plan goes as planned, and the 'kidnappers' throw the ransom box into the Domoto family's abandoned factory, then you will be able to successfully recover the ransom and have time to leisurely deal with your father-in-law - of the only two people left in your family, the Changdai grandmother obviously loves you very much, and your wife is so frightened by the kidnapping case that she can only rely on you wholeheartedly. Under your control, this matter can proceed according to your script.
"However, unfortunately, on the way to the factory, the 'kidnapper' had a car accident, which also implicated several unlucky passers-by. The box also fell into the hands of the police, and your plan was exposed."
“…”
Domoto Akinari wanted to refute, but after racking his brains, he couldn't find a suitable excuse.
Looking at the policemen gradually surrounding him, and thinking about the perfect plan that was suddenly shattered, he sighed tiredly and sat down on the ground: "Yes, I did it - I really couldn't stand the slander day after day, so I could only think of a way to make my father-in-law disappear.
"But not only that, I did this for my wife - I hope that after she sees how calm and fearless I am in the face of danger, she will change her mind about me and fall in love with me again like she did before marriage.
Domoto Akinari could not help but hammer the ground: "Everything would be so perfect if it weren't for this abominable car accident...!"
Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the suspect was not moving, Inspector Megure had to go over and take out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID, it said "Mitsuko" - Mrs. Domoto's name.
Inspector Megure glanced at Domoto Akinari who was sitting there in a daze, and kindly helped him answer the phone: People are about to go in, if you don't take the opportunity to make a call now, it will be troublesome if you want to talk later.
