Chapter 85 Pay the Ransom

At 45:[-], after a busy night, the ransom was finally ready. Diamonds and precious stones worth [-] million yen were put into two small bags, and together with [-] kilograms of gold, they were put into a high-quality black briefcase.

The employees of the bank, insurance company and jewelry store left to rest. Chiho Takamuroto worried about her young daughter and wept silently again, while Yoshikawa Tomoda sat beside her and encouraged her to cheer up , strong through this difficult time.

Toshihiko Michii was also by his side, but Chiho Takarashito rarely answered his words, which made him look a bit resentful. It seemed that he refused to pay for his niece when he was in danger, which greatly hurt the feelings of the brothers and sisters.

The detectives such as Kamino Oguri and Eri Nakano kept discussing various plans around a whiteboard, imagining what kind of ransom payment method the kidnappers would propose, and formed multiple reserve teams, ready to deal with any sudden accidents at any time—this is a big case This important case has gathered almost all the criminal investigation forces that the Hirano Police Station can mobilize at present. The reputation of the police station must be gambled to rescue Sayuri, and there is no room for loss!

They had a heated discussion. Takingshi Qiyuan sneaked into the kitchen with nothing to do, made a few small sandwiches, and made a pot of tea. He and Qingjian Liuli hid aside and ate, watching the tense scene with interest. , By the way, ask the housekeeper about the last wife of the Baoshi family, what is her surname, and which family she comes from.

Not long after, the grandfather clock in the living room rang the hour, and the atmosphere in the living room became more tense. After a while, the kidnapper's second blackmail letter was finally delivered by logistics.

When it was time to pay the ransom, everyone immediately gathered around the ransom letter and found that the kidnapper's instructions were very simple. They asked Chiho Takamuroto to bring the ransom to Tsunichicho Station before 25:117 and use the key that came with the letter. Open locker No. [-], there are instructions for the next step, and several requirements are put forward.

This locker can only be opened by Takashiro Chiho himself, if someone else opens it, Sayuri will die;
It must be opened before 25:[-], and Sayuri will die if it is too late;
The police are not allowed to follow her. If she is found to be followed by the police, Sayuri will still die.

"Tsunimachi Station, 25:[-]..." Chiho Takamuroto held the key in a daze. She seldom took the tram and was not familiar with the station. She immediately looked at Kamo Oguri. Last night, Kamo Oguri and her After a long talk, I counted the kidnapping cases I have handled, and explained that even if they fully cooperate with the kidnappers, the hostages usually have no good end. In the end, I persuaded her and made her promise to obey the police's arrangements and instructions as much as possible.

"It's about 10 minutes' drive from here, and you can get there by driving more than ten minutes faster. You must leave immediately, but don't worry about anything. We will always follow you and keep in touch with you at any time." Xiaoli Yaye didn't expect that The kidnapper chose this method to avoid the police from conveying instructions, and waved his hand as he spoke, signaling his subordinates to prepare the vehicle immediately. By the way, he checked the communication device and tracker strapped to Takarashito Chiho's body again, and he began to frown and think.

Takamuroto Chiho is a weak woman, and I don’t know how long it has been since I drove a car. It seems a bit difficult to let her drive fast all the way to Tsuichicho Station, and it’s a bit dangerous to send the ransom alone, shouldn’t it? Let a criminal policeman make up as a driver to take her there?

In case the kidnappers become suspicious, or there is really an inner ghost in the mansion secretly reporting...

He was weighing the pros and cons there, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, but Yoshikawa Yuda seemed to see his embarrassment, and said softly beside him: "Mrs. He is also a member of the Takarashi family, and is Sayuri's uncle, so it should be fine."

Time waits for no one, it is almost ten past nine at this moment, Xiao Li Yaye saw that he volunteered and did not disobey the kidnapper's request, even if the kidnapper thinks he is an eyesore, he can send instructions to let him leave again, so as not to be so irritated It is indeed a good choice to tear up the ticket, and nodded immediately: "Okay, Yoshikawa-san, please pay attention to safety, follow the police's instructions, and don't act rashly."

"I understand, I want Sayuri to return safely more than anyone else." Yoshikawa Yuda nodded heavily, with a very determined expression.

Chiho Takashiroto also breathed a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of taking risks to save her daughter, but let her go by herself... She was also very worried that she would not be able to deal with it and accidentally killed her daughter. Now Yoshikawa Yuda is willing to share the burden for her. It's the best.

At this time, the vehicle was also ready, and the two immediately rushed to Tsunichicho Station with briefcases worth more than [-] million yen.

…………

The kidnapper wanted to collect the ransom, so the police naturally couldn't wait. They were already prepared. Xiaoli Yaye gave an order into the walkie-talkie, and there were several teams of people near the manor, driving various vehicles that had been prepared overnight, disguised as Farm delivery drivers, office workers, motorcycle delivery personnel, etc., either speed up and rush to Tsunichicho Station for control, or follow the vehicles of Takarashito Chiho and Yoshikawa Tomada from a distance, or walk side by side across a street, at any time Prepare to launch a roundup.

Nakano Eri is a member of the emergency reserve team. After all, she is not very experienced in actual combat, and Xiaoli Yaye can't trust her, so she hangs behind the other group with Qiyuan Takeshi and Qingjian Liuli, and receives information through the police radio. Chiho Muroto and Yoshikawa Yuda couldn't see the rear of the car.

The same goes for her immediate subordinates, Yasuji Okuno and Hidaka who followed her and could only see the rear of her car.

At 24:117, with the help of Yoshikawa Tomoda, Chiho Takamuroto hurried to the locker No. [-] at Tsuichicho Station, opened the lock with a key while shaking her hands, took out a piece of printing paper, and then turned pale. Yibai said to Yoshikawa Yuda, turned around and walked to the women's bathroom only a few steps away.

Eri Nakano couldn't see her, but she was of a higher rank. Through the police radio, she could directly hear the communication between Kamo Oguri and Chiho Takamuroto. A kilo of gold, no matter what size gold she has prepared, throws a kilo in the trash can in the women's bathroom, then goes straight to buy a ticket, takes the next tram to Nagamachi to open another locker, and misses the bus Or disobey the instructions, Sayuri will die.

Xiaoli Yaye had no choice but to temporarily follow the kidnapper's request, but he didn't dare to leave a kilogram of gold at the station, let alone send someone to fetch it back as soon as Treasurer Chiho left, so he could only leave it behind. The two stared at each other, and whoever picked up the gold would continue to follow - they didn't dare to catch it, in case it was a kidnapper's temptation, it would be over.

Thanks to the help of Yoshikawa Tomoda to buy the ticket, Takarashido Chiho managed to catch up with the tram under his dragging, tightly holding the briefcase and being squeezed all the way to Nagamachi, where he opened the storage again. locker, and received new instructions to throw a kilogram of gold into the dustbin next to the locker again.

The police personnel were reduced by 2, and then again, the police tracers were reduced again, and when they arrived at the next station, the kidnappers simply ordered Takashiroto Chiho to throw the gold on the ground, stunned passers-by on the spot, although no one was crazy They would rob in public, but spectators would definitely be unavoidable, which caused a lot of commotion.

Oguri Kamino had to assign more police forces to monitor the whereabouts of the gold, but at the next stop, the kidnappers went too far and asked Chiho Takarashito to sprinkle more than a dozen fine diamonds on the platform of the station and yelled twice "These diamonds are given to everyone", which caused a larger-scale riot. In the chaos, the time demanded by the kidnappers was very urgent. Chiho Takamuroto and Yoshikawa Tomoda had no choice but to hurry to the next target point.

At this point, Xiaoli Yaye is in a bit of a mess. He has been chasing the tram several times in a row. The police tracking team has been torn apart. Some truck drivers are still at the last stop, and they are even hanging in the treasure room in casual clothes. Two of the detectives behind Tochiho were squeezed out, but Nakano Eri's car was good enough, and he got ahead, and now became the first echelon behind Tochiho Takarashiro.

She frowned, listening to the chaotic calls to verify the location on the police radio, and said in a heavy tone: "What a cunning kidnapper, things are a little troublesome."

Qingjian Liuli encountered this kind of thing for the first time, even if she just listened to it, her heartbeat would break a hundred at this moment, and she asked sadly, "Could it be that the kidnappers have already found out that the police are following them?"

If she were a kidnapper, she would definitely observe Takashiroto Chiho secretly at a certain station, or even once at a station apart, but the police are in such a mess now, the possibility of revealing their flaws is extremely high—the person monitoring the whereabouts of gold The criminal police may arouse suspicion, and the plainclothes criminal police who followed Takashiroto Chiho from afar in the riot scene are more likely to arouse suspicion. It is even said that the kidnappers have now discovered that Takashiroto Chiho did not obey the order, and it is not unreasonable to bring the police to pay the ransom possible.

Eri Nakano adjusted her glasses, a white light of "helplessness" flashed, and she remained silent.She also felt that it was not good, and felt that the errand was going to be ruined. After a while, she looked in the rearview mirror and asked Qiyuan Wu: "Can Qiyuan student do anything? Can you perceive something?"

Now she is hoping that Takeshi Qihara is a real psychic as she thought, and Takeshi Qiyuan listened to Chiho Takamuroto's trembling voice on the radio and Yoshikawa Tomoda's vaguely audible voice of relief, rubbing his chin and laughing Said: "Calm down, Miss Nakano, let's see the final result first, they are a bit behind now."

"Can't make it?" Eri Nakano hurriedly listened to the call on the radio, and found that it took more than two hours to change trams back and forth. Chiho Takamuroto and Tomoda Kawayoshi had already run to the outskirts of the city, and now they were about to transfer to a bus. Follow the instructions to catch up Go to the next location, but because the kidnappers are too tight on time each time, it is only 1 minute before the departure time of the bus, and they are still running wildly on the road.

Pay the ransom to fail?What about Sayuri?
There is no way to round up the kidnappers like this!
Nakano Eri and Qingjian Ruri nervously listened to the news that kept coming in from the radio station, and finally someone had a quick idea. A criminal policeman on a motorcycle arrived by speeding, and had a small scrape with the bus that had just left the station, delaying the time. That's why Yoshikawa Yuda dragged Takarato Chiho to catch up with the bus.

But the time was still delayed a lot. After all, Chiho Takarashito really couldn't run fast. The distance from the tram stop to the bus stop made her look pale and even more pitiful. It was all thanks to Yoshikawa Yuda to survive.

This delay caused a considerable chain reaction. The bus was unable to pick up the speed on the winding mountain road. Even if Yoshikawa Yuda promised a high reward, it was useless. arrival time.

Time was running out, and everyone was at a loss for a moment, but following Chiho Takarashito's slightly choked exclamation, Yoshikawa Yuda couldn't wait for the bus to circle the mountain road any longer, and jumped off the bus directly, holding his clothes in his arms. The briefcase for the ransom ran out of the mountain road and rolled down a steep slope. The bus had to go around for several minutes. He rolled over in ten seconds. Without hesitation, he raised the briefcase and threw it under the bridge.

The gold in the briefcase has been thrown away all the way, and the diamonds and gems are not of much weight, almost empty. A big splash was made on the river surface, and it sank and floated along the rushing river to the distance. disappeared.
