Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 614 614. The rebellious rich daughter has no other tricks?

After calling home, Sotakuya drove to the address given by Odagiri Toshiro.

A mansion located in the center of Mikka Town, the word Kataoka is hung on the gate of the courtyard.

The First Search Class obviously takes this kidnapping case very seriously, although the 3 series from the First Search Class cannot be regarded as overwhelming.

But it also mobilized a large part of the backbone of the department.

Megure Jusan, Shiratori Rensaburo, Sato Miwako, two police officers and one police officer in the 3 series are all in place.

Then there are the golden supporting roles of Takagi Wataru, Chiba and Nobu, plus a few supporting characters who do not have names.

A "luxurious" hostage rescue army was formed.

Shiratori Rensaburo was waiting for Sotakuya's arrival at the entrance of the courtyard. Shiratori came up to him immediately after Sotakuya got out of the car.

"Counsellor, please make this trip." Shiratori Rensaburo, who comes from a large family, always pays attention to his etiquette and image.

Except of course when it comes to Sato Miwako's date with Takagi.

"The minister didn't tell me in detail. You guys came early. What's going on?" Zong Takuya waved his hand to indicate that time was running out.

Then he asked Rensaburo Shiratori about the specific circumstances of the Kataoka family's kidnapping case.

Shiratori Rensaburo led Sotakuya through the courtyard of the Kataoka family while telling Sotakuya the details of the kidnapping case.

"Miss Renka Kataoka, who was kidnapped by gangsters, is the only daughter of Mr. Hanshiro Kataoka. Miss Renka went out shopping last night, but she never returned.

Tonight Mr. Kataoka Hanshiro received a blackmail email from the kidnapper. The email included a video of Miss Renka being kidnapped.

And the amount of ransom demanded by the gangsters-1 million yen.

The gangsters demanded that the money be divided among three companies that had business dealings with the Kataoka Group. These three companies were Imai Electronics, Kato Networks, and Nakao Media. "

When Shiratori Rensaburo said this, the gate of Kataoka's house was already close at hand, but Sotakuya suddenly stopped and looked at Shiratori Rensaburo unexpectedly.

"Why did the gangsters ask for the source of the ransom, and why did they have to share it equally among the three companies?"

"We have also asked Mr. Kataoka this question. According to his secretary, these three companies just recently proposed marriage to Mr. Kataoka at the same time.

Hope to marry his only daughter.

The reason why the kidnappers asked these three companies to share the ransom is currently unknown, but I think it must have something to do with their marriage proposal. "

"Ha" Zong Takuya stood there thoughtfully and thought for a moment.

Originally, he thought this was just an ordinary kidnapping case, and he would just find the person step by step.

Now after hearing this from Shiratiao, he felt that this kidnapping case seemed not that simple.

Under normal circumstances, who would care about the source of your ransom?

What people care about is only the amount of the ransom, and whether the source was stolen or robbed.

Normally, all the kidnappers want is the "hard-earned money".

Didn't the kidnappers who kidnapped Renka Kataoka have a little too much control this time?

"Let's go, take me to see Mr. Kataoka." Sotakuya thought of a possibility, so he asked Shiratori to lead the way.

Soon Sotakuya met Kataoka Hanshiro himself.

"Counsellor Zong, thank you very much for coming here to help rescue my little girl." Kataoka Hanshiro is a man who looks very majestic.

He was stern when talking to other police officers, but when Zong Takuya came in, he forced a smile and exchanged greetings with him.

After all, So Takuya is his hope to save his only daughter.It was also the strong support he personally invited from the Metropolitan Police Department - Kataoka Hanshiro spent a lot of money to ask So Takuya to take action. At this time, his business would not be so big even if he was embarrassed.

"Mr. Kataoka, time is pressing." Sotakuya interrupted Kataoka Hanshiro's meaningless greetings.

He noticed the wine and wine glasses on the cabinet in the corner of the living room, thinking that the father whose daughter was kidnapped was not in the mood to chat with him.

Getting straight to the point is the best option at this time.

"No need for extra pleasantries, I have some questions about the daughter that I would like to know."

"Excuse me, I will tell you everything I know." Kataoka Hanshiro nodded immediately. Sotakuya's decisiveness gave him a lot of hope.

"As far as I know, your daughter did not come home after going shopping last night, which means that last night was probably the time when Qian Yuan was kidnapped.

But why did it take until today when the kidnappers sent a blackmail email to call the police? "

Kataoka Hanshiro showed a hint of shame: "Actually, my little girl just ran away from home and I found her a few days ago.
At first we all thought she had run away from home again. "

Got it, this is another rebellious young lady from a rich family.

"Can you tell me where she went last time she ran away from home?"

“She joined a traveling theater troupe and became a stage actress, which I learned about after the troupe returned to Tokyo.

When I learned the news, I took my little girl home as soon as possible. "

"There should be a boy in that traveling theater group who has a good relationship with the daughter, right?" Hanshiro Kataoka didn't need to continue, So Takuya almost guessed the entire plot after Renka Kataoka left home.

Is it another love story between a rich girl and a poor boy?

Kataoka Hanshiro didn't speak, just nodded.

But the old father's silence became more and more deafening at this moment.

"Then, after the daughter was kidnapped, you probably didn't send anyone to the traveling theater troupe to confirm, right?"

"No, no." Kataoka Hanshiro's eyes widened in shock, his eyes containing disbelief and anger.

"Mr. Kataoka, don't get angry yet. This kidnapping case may not have anything to do with the traveling theater troupe.

But maybe that traveling theater group can provide us with some useful clues. "

"Officer Takagi."

"Yes, counselor." Hearing Sotakuya call him, Takagi immediately stood up.

"Please go and bring the leader of the traveling theater troupe here." After Sou Takuya finished speaking, he came to the sofa. There was a laptop on the coffee table, and what was displayed on the screen was the extortion email sent by the kidnapper.

Zong Takuya started to play the kidnapping video. He had already made a judgment in his mind and found some clues in the video.

The curtains on the window behind Renka Kataoka were open in the first part of the video, but were closed in the second half.

It stands to reason that the person who closed the curtains should be the kidnapper himself, but Renka Kataoka's head was stained with a little spider web.

This shows what?
If you want to pull the curtains at least you have to use your hands. The spider web on Renka Kataoka's head proves that the curtains were not pulled by the kidnappers.

But Kataoka Renka himself.

It's impossible that the kidnappers untied the rope from Kataoka Renka in order to let her pull the curtains, right?

'Double act?Is it possible for the daughters of these rich families to do this when they co-write? '
