When Richard Clayderman's "Starry Sky" echoed in the empty abandoned warehouse, the quiet and peaceful sound filled the entire space, Amuro Toru put her ear against the door and heard two footsteps rushing upstairs. He quickly picked up the trembling Sonoko and ran to the first floor.

The corridor was brightly lit at this time. After avoiding all obstacles, Toru Amuro came to the warehouse door on the first floor. He raised his head and glanced at the stairs. There was a violent door kick from upstairs, covering up the beautiful music.

Toru Amuro felt his heart beating violently in his chest, but he quickly opened the door while there was light, picked up a suitable thin wire from the ground, took out the screwdriver he had hidden on his body, and removed the door latch visible to the naked eye. Open them all. Holding your breath, you put your ear against the door and listened to what was going on outside. It was quiet outside, but the sound of kicking the door upstairs became more intense.

The lock is welded to the door, and not even a single screw is exposed. Picking the lock will obviously make a huge noise, and it may not be possible to pick it off, so there is only one way left.

Toru Amuro inserted two thin wires into the keyhole and began to look for a suitable angle, trying to open the door as quickly as possible.

Suzuki Sonoko stood anxiously next to Toru Amuro. She blamed herself. She blamed herself for not being able to do anything and being just a laggard. She could only try her best to restrain herself from trembling with fear and not make any sound. She stared at the stairs, hoping to see Mingyue and not seeing the two kidnappers.

Sonoko held the four-leaf clover bracelet tightly and placed it on her chest, praying that they could escape smoothly.

"Duang!" It seemed that the door upstairs was kicked open, and Toru Amuro's hand paused slightly.

"Bang!" After a violent explosion, the entire warehouse fell into silence and darkness. Suzuki Sonoko leaned towards Toru Amuro. Toru Amuro closed his eyes and continued to pick out the lock based on his own feeling.

"Click!"

The door lock lived up to expectations, and Amuro Toru quickly pushed the door open, and the white moonlight slowly shone into the warehouse.

Toru Amuro and Sonoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the moonlight. Yuanzi looked back at the stairs, Mingyue, you have to come quickly!

"Snapped!"

A hand suddenly stretched out, grasped the edge of the door leaf tightly, and opened the door. The black muzzle of the gun was pressed against Toru Amuro's forehead. Toru Amuro slowly raised his hand, but his eyes were looking at the people who suddenly appeared.

There were four people standing outside the warehouse door, three men and one woman. The woman was wearing a cap, and her face was hidden in the shadow of the cap, making it unclear.

The three men were wearing clown masks. The colors of the clown masks were different. The one holding the gun was a man wearing a blue clown mask. There was a man wearing a yellow clown mask who was taller. Toru Amuro evaluated himself in the bottom of his heart. Is it possible to deal with these people at once?

Following the woman in the peaked cap was a short man wearing a red mask, looking left and right, as if he was scared.

The woman in the peaked hat spoke, and her voice sounded young, in her twenties and thirties, "Tie them both up, and confiscate all the mobile phones and weapons on the man."

The red clown took out a bundle of rope from behind, and the yellow clown approached Toru Amuro.

At this time, Amuro Toru punched out the pistol pointed at him, and kicked the yellow clown who was close to him to the ground.

The yellow clown didn't expect Toru Amuro to be able to fight back. He was kicked directly in the abdomen and fell to the ground hunched over.

When Toru Amuro was about to punch the blue clown, the woman in the peaked cap spoke.

"You'd better just surrender."

A lady's pistol was pressed against Suzuki Sonoko's temple.

Toru Amuro's teeth were almost broken, so he could only let the blue clown tie him up, and his phone was confiscated.

The yellow-masked clown struggled to get up from the ground, but the mask on his face unexpectedly fell off. When Suzuki Sonoko saw that face, her pupils shrank suddenly.

Sonoko knows this face and is very familiar with it. Even today, he has been by Sonoko's side. He is the bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka.

Suzuki Sonoko stared at that face and asked: "Why?! I trust you so much!" Sonoko didn't cry, but just stayed in place like a piece of wood, as if someone poured a basin of ice water on her head to toe. ice cold.

Are those previous protections and those that saved her at critical moments all fake? Yuanzi couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. It was hard to tell which ones were illusions and which ones were reality, but it didn't seem to matter now.

"I'm sorry, Miss Second." Bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka looked at Sonoko. He didn't know how he should face this girl, his former employer, but he knew how much the girl trusted him before, but now she has lost everything. Just destroy the light.

He showed a smile to Yuanzi, a little bitter and a little sad.

Yuanzi allowed the red clown to tie her up without any resistance.

When Toru Amuro saw that face, he confirmed that the other person was the "dead" bodyguard. Was there a betrayer around him? That's why the other party knew about the Suzuki Group, the second lady, and even more about this trip. Everything was planned. They were just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap carefully laid by the hunter. So can Mingyue escape?

The woman in the peaked hat put the muzzle of the gun against Sonoko's head, and the cold touch brought Sonoko back to her senses.

"Where are your friends?" the woman in the peaked hat asked with a smile.

Yuanzi gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said nothing, but his heart was already beating loudly in his chest.

"Speak," the woman pointed her gun at Sonoko's head. Seeing that Sonoko didn't respond, she continued, "Actually, our original plan was just to kidnap you alone, but that girl held you very tightly, so we captured her together. Yes, do you think she is dead?"

Yuanzi's heart beat like a drum. She was very worried that Mingyue would be caught too. Her tears fell out uncontrollably and hit the ground, causing some dust to rise.

Toru Amuro was also worried. They had originally agreed to meet at the door, but now Ming Yue was already coming towards the door. Did she hear the movement just now? Are you hiding?

Suzuki Sonoko really wanted to tell Ming Yue not to come out, but she didn't know how to tell her. The more anxious she became, the more uncontrollable her tears became. Coupled with the betrayal of her trusted bodyguard, she burst into tears in a hurry, and then the more she cried, the fiercer she became. , the voice got louder and louder.

Bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka turned his head away from looking at the garden.

Mingyue hid in the ventilation duct, listening to Yuanzi's deafening cry, and rubbed her temples. Yuanzi, you don’t have to cry so loudly, I know it, and your purpose is too obvious and will be discovered.

The blue clown said, "Keep your mouth shut."

"Why are you gagging? Won't making her cry lead to the other one?" The red clown seemed confused, but he still looked for something to gag him.

The woman in the peaked hat snorted coldly and said, "What do you know? She won't attract the other one by crying like this, so let the remaining one hide." She took the rag handed over by the red clown and put it into Yuanzi's mouth. Forced.

"The other girl has escaped," Tohru Amuro said.

The blue clown glanced at Toru Amuro, his crooked eyebrows seemed to be laughing at Toru Amuro's lies. Toru Amuro was so frightened by this sight that he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and speculated on the identity of this tall and thin man.

Yuanzi's mouth was blocked by a piece of rag, and he could only sob and cry, hoping that Mingyue would not be discovered.

The blue clown turned around and closed the door again, but the door latch was not inserted. At this time, the entire warehouse fell into darkness again, and only the sound of rummaging for things could be heard upstairs.

The woman in the peaked hat took out her mobile phone and dialed the numbers of the two kidnappers upstairs.

The vibrating sound of the cell phone "Zizzi" quickly attracted the two kidnappers. They quickly ran to the fourth floor where the sound came from. However, when they ran near the sound, the "Zizzi" sound disappeared, and the kidnappers immediately returned. Start rummaging.

The blue clown glanced at the woman in the cap, and the woman in the cap said, "Take them to the rooftop first."

"Eh? Then aren't you looking for the other person?" The red clown stopped rummaging around.

The woman in the peaked hat said: "You really talk too much. Let's not say whether she can escape. Even if she escapes, she is a defector who does not care about the life and death of her friends."

Toru Amuro was pushed towards the stairs. He was very entangled in his heart. He desperately hoped that Mingyue would become a defector, but he clearly knew that Mingyue had not successfully left.

Several people came to the second floor. In the corner of the second floor, there seemed to be some scattered small flames in a room. Amuro took a look and found that the explosion did not set the room on fire. It seemed that there was nothing combustible in the room.

The red clown saw the small flames and said, "Eh? Where did the fire start?"

The woman in the peaked hat glanced at the red clown, ignored him, and continued walking upstairs.

The blue clown walked at the end. He looked towards the room in the power distribution room but did not go there.

Mingyue looked out through the gap in the pipe. There were three men and one woman. Different from the previous two kidnappers, these three men were wearing masks. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was here, and he hid his identity. It was just these timers in his ears. The bomb is still ticking.

Toru Amuro only paid attention to the road under his feet, while Sonoko looked everywhere, and from time to time his eyes glanced at the ventilation ducts on the roof. The blue clown naturally noticed something unusual about the garden and laughed silently.

When everyone reached the third floor, they heard the voices of the two kidnappers:

"Miss Suzuki, we are here to rescue you, please go with your brother obediently~"

"Miss Suzuki, stop hiding, I see you~"

……

The woman in the peaked cap gritted her teeth angrily. She never expected that she would find two such valuable figures. She said coldly: "How long will you two continue to quarrel?"

The two people poked their heads out from the stairs on the fourth floor and happened to see the woman in the peaked hat, Toru Amuro and Sonoko Suzuki who were tied up behind her, as well as three others wearing masks.

The kidnapper holding the computer glanced at his companions and said first, "The eldest sister is mighty! But where is the eldest sister who has a girl?"

"Who knows where it is hidden, but that doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that this is Suzuki Sonoko." The woman in the peaked hat pinched Suzuki Sonoko's chin. Suzuki Sonoko also saw the woman's appearance clearly. She was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it. No one knows who she is, she must be the daughter of one of her father's business partners.

Seeing Suzuki Sonoko's shocked expression, the woman in the peaked hat grinned, "It seems that you have forgotten me. You Suzuki family members are very forgetful. It's a pity that I will always remember you!" The woman in the peaked hat relaxed. Kai squeezed Yuanzi's face with his hand and continued walking to the rooftop.

Toru Amuro frowned. This woman didn't seem to be looking for Mingyue, so would Mingyue have a chance to escape? But if I die here, I will be too aggrieved. Do I want to give up Miss Suzuki and escape on my own? Amuro thought about it, but the justice in his heart didn't seem to allow him to do so. Is this the end of this life?

On the rooftop, in the dark night sky, there were several big black birds hovering in the sky.

Toru Amuro looked at the tall building not far away. Not long ago, Gin had set up a sniper rifle on it. He was still worried that Mingyue would be sniped by Gin, but now he was tied up and escorted to the rooftop. He sighed and looked up at the dark night sky.

The woman in the peaked hat pulled the rag out of Yuanzi's mouth, and Yuanzi retched twice.

One of the kidnappers walked around the rooftop and found nothing, so he asked: "Sister, do you want us to go down and continue to look for another girl?"

The woman in the peaked hat looked around and said, "It's okay, she will come out on her own."

After Toru Amuro looked around, he smiled and said, "She has escaped and is not here at all."

Yuanzi also echoed loudly, "Yes! She has escaped!"

"Really? Then why didn't she take you to escape together? She should be hiding in a corner nearby. Would someone who hugs his companions tightly even if he is unconscious abandon his companions?" the woman in the peaked hat sneered, she Not believing what Amuro Toru and Suzuki Sonoko said, he glanced at the blue clown and said, "Take the gun and shoot every vent. I'll see how long she can hide."

Toru Amuro looked at the man wearing a blue clown mask. Although he could only see his eyes, Toru Amuro was sure that the man was smiling, a very happy smile.

The blue clown noticed Toru Amuro's gaze, glanced at him sideways, and prepared to turn around and go downstairs.

Suzuki Sonoko was anxious, breathing heavily, and shouted: "She has escaped! Escaped! Escaped!" Mingyue, you must hear my voice, run away quickly!

Toru Amuro also guessed it from Sonoko's reaction, and his lips pursed into a line.

"It seems I was right." The woman in the peaked hat said with a grin, as if she was looking forward to it.

The blue clown also chuckled and walked slowly downstairs. After a while, gunshots were heard downstairs.

"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

……

Toru Amuro and Sonoko's hearts tightened. Most of the cabinets on the ground were smashed. There was no place to hide people. If they could hide, there would only be ventilation ducts.

"Where's the cell phone? Give it to me." The woman in the peaked hat reached out to the kidnapper holding the computer and asked for Suzuki Sonoko's cell phone.

The kidnapper searched all his pockets, but couldn't find his cell phone. Even his own cell phone was missing. He looked at the woman cautiously.

The woman in the peaked hat snorted coldly and cursed "useless trash".

"One of the mobile phones was snatched away by crows, and the rest disappeared at some time. Shall we go down to look for them now?" the kidnapper said cautiously.

"Crows can also steal mobile phones? How can there be birds flying after the sun goes down?" The woman in the peaked hat said and looked up, only to see something really hovering in the sky, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Toru Amuro also looked up at the sky, and vaguely saw birds flying. What were they?

Bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka also looked up at the sky and said, "Maybe it's some bats."

The woman in the peaked hat took out the mobile phone belonging to the bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka, turned it on, and called Shiro Suzuki. The call was quickly connected.

Suzuki Shiro's voice came from the receiver: "Hello!"

The woman in the peaked hat said in an extremely gentle voice: "Are you ready for three billion?"

Suzuki Shiro's anxious voice came from the other side of the phone: "I'm ready, but I want to hear my daughter's voice!"

The woman in the peaked hat raised her chin, and the red clown waved his fist.

"what!"

Suzuki Sonoko was punched hard in the abdomen and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Toru Amuro wanted to block Sonozi, but was grabbed by the yellow clown. Seeing that Toru Amuro could still resist, the other two kidnappers raised their fists and hit Toru Amuro, who was also beaten. Get down on the ground.

The woman in the peaked hat knelt down, handed the phone to Suzuki Sonoko, and whispered softly: "Come to Sonoko and talk to your father."

"Dad! Save me! I don't want to die!" The pain stimulated Yuanzi's desire to live. The pain in his abdomen made Yuanzi curl up and curl up like a shrimp.

Suzuki Shiro shouted: "Sonoko! How are you, Sonoko?! What did you say you would do to Sonoko!"

"Oh, don't worry so much. After all, you still have twenty minutes, so hurry up and send the money. You are only allowed to come here alone, otherwise you can imagine the consequences." The woman in the peaked hat stared at the phone, feeling pitiful. smile.

"As long as you let the garden go, I'll do anything! I'll be there soon!"

The woman hung up the phone.

Amuro Toru's mouth was bleeding, and she fell to the ground. She raised her head, looked at the woman in the peaked hat, and said, "You don't want to let anyone here go, including yourself."

"Shut his mouth!" The woman in the peaked hat looked at Toru Amuro fiercely.

The red clown took the rag and was about to stop Amuro Toru's mouth.

Amuro Toru said quickly: "Wait a minute, don't you want to hear me finish the matter related to your fate? Didn't you hear this clear ticking sound? The entire building has been equipped with bombs, and there are still twenty minutes left in the countdown. "

The red clown stopped moving his hands and looked at the woman in the peaked hat. The woman's eyes were slightly narrowed and she stared at Toru Amuro.

Bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka looked at the woman in the peaked hat with a complicated expression, his eyebrows twisted into a knot. When everyone looked at the woman, he stood in front of her, guarding against those who cast bad looks.

"How do you know about the bomb? How do you conclude that there is a bomb? Are you fooling them?" The woman in the peaked hat crossed her arms and looked at Toru Amuro condescendingly.

Toru Amuro stared at the woman and said, "You feel guilty, because I'm right, I think the people around you don't want to die with you."

The woman in the peaked hat raised her eyebrows, walked out from behind the bodyguard Noburo Hanaoka, took out her mobile phone, clicked on the screen a few times, the ticking sound disappeared, and said: "That's just a remote-controlled bomb, I can stop the countdown. . I want to get the ransom and live a good life, and I think everyone does the same, and the original 300 million has now become 3 billion, and everyone has more to share."

The red clown jumped out and said: "Oh, everyone has to trust each other. If she wanted to blow everyone up, she wouldn't come here."

The others thought about it for a moment, and their hostility towards the woman in the peaked hat seemed to have lessened a lot.

Seeing that something was wrong, Amuro Toru said: "You are all hired by her, right? How much money she promised to give you, I will give you double, no, triple, as long as you let us leave here."

The red clown squatted down, looked at the black-skinned golden retriever, and said: "Looking at you, you are just a private detective. How could you have so much money? You are just deceiving people."

Toru Amuro thought that the other party could directly contact the Suzuki Consortium, so asking the second Miss Suzuki to raise the price for hiring did not seem to impress these people, and they might also directly approach the Suzuki Consortium to raise the price because of this matter. Mingyue's mobile phone has been retrieved by her. It seems that these kidnappers can't contact the people around Mingyue, so they can only borrow Mingyue's name.

"I don't have it, but the other lady does."

At this time, the kidnapper holding the computer came close to the woman in the peaked hat and said: "Sister, it is true that the other one asked for 3 billion as soon as he started to listen to the voice. He is definitely a rich man."

But at this time, the sound of breaking glass was heard downstairs, and the gunfire seemed to have stopped.

The woman in the peaked hat seemed to be thinking and listening to what was going on downstairs. Finally, she looked at Toru Amuro, grinned, and said, "But the lady you mentioned is probably dead in the ventilation duct."

Toru Amuro also noticed that the gunshots had stopped, and was a little worried, but still said with a smile on his face: "That lady has escaped, she is not here at all."

The woman in the peaked hat sneered, "She has already run away, how can she possibly give you money?"

"I am one of his brothers, so he is naturally willing to give money. As long as you use my mobile phone to call her, she will naturally be willing to prepare money for me." Amuro Toru said with a smile on his face, full of confidence explain.

The people hired by the woman in the peaked hat began to whisper to each other and seemed to be wavering.

Toru Amuro observed those people and then continued: "Let alone three billion, it is very simple to ask her to come up with tens of billions. As long as you let us leave, we can get it naturally."

Some people have already begun to weigh the pros and cons. The kidnapper who was driving before looked at Amuro Tohru with a careful look.

But the woman in the peaked hat clapped her hands, "It's indeed wonderful, but the only ones richer than the Suzuki Consortium are the Ooka family, or the Karasuma family half a century ago. Which family does the lady you are talking about belong to?" What about?"

The woman tilted her head and looked at Toru Amuro. Toru Amuro stopped smiling and thought: This woman is really not easy to deceive.

Suzuki Sonoko lay on the ground and said: "Save me, take me away from here. My father can also give you that much money. I can hire you. You decide how much you want!"

"Ha," the woman sneered, "The Suzuki family has called the police a long time ago. If you desperadoes want to get the money from the Suzuki Consortium, they may have already joined forces with the police to arrest you."

The kidnapper and the clown were both shocked. The kidnapper holding the computer hurriedly operated on the computer and slapped his thigh, "Oh, the eldest sister is right. I stole the nearby surveillance, and there are many plainclothes policemen."

"Look, you talk about breaking off the relationship with the police, but the reality is that the police have been called to arrest you. We are grasshoppers on a rope." The woman in the peaked hat chuckled.

Toru Amuro took a deep breath, are the police coming?

A few thin clouds floated in the sky, covering the full moon, and the night became a little darker.

Suzuki Shiro drove his car into the police circle, but was intercepted by the police.

"I want to save my daughter!" Suzuki Shiro said eagerly, eager to be released.

But the police officer who stopped his car frowned and told him the truth, "You can't save your daughter, but you will risk your own life. There is a bomb installed in that building. As long as you go there, you will be killed." Activate the bomb and no one will survive.”

"What about my daughter?" Suzuki Shiro looked at the warehouses in the distance. He knew that the garden was in a warehouse inside, but he couldn't go there.

The wind was very cold at night, and the clouds were gathered by the wind, blocking the moon. Only vague light and shadow could be seen.

At this time, footsteps were heard from the stairs on the rooftop. Everyone looked back and saw the blue clown slowly walking over with a smile in his eyes.

"Have you found the other girl?" the red clown looked at the blue clown and asked.

"Hahaha..." The blue clown laughed, very happily.

However, under the hazy moonlight, Toru Amuro saw that the originally clean clothes on the blue clown had spots of red, which seemed to be blood.
