[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

In the living room of Akashi's house, it is rare for important figures from various families to gather. Everyone came to Akashi's house in a hurry to determine the whereabouts of the hostages, hoping that the police investigation would make progress.

As soon as Saya stepped into the living room, she already felt the suffocating sense of oppression, especially the eyes of the elders, with sadness and anger, as if they were accusing her that the kidnapping incident was all caused by her, and she should bear the full responsibility. responsibility.

"Saya, don't be nervous when talking to the kidnapper, try to delay the time and let the police track down the kidnapper's location."

Even if everyone is hostile to Saya, there is still one person on her side.

In these few short days, Akashi has been by her side, helping her change her medicine, taking her for a walk in the garden, so that she will not feel lonely.Today, the kidnapper asked her to answer the phone. He was afraid that her emotions would be affected, so he pulled her aside in advance, comforted her softly, and asked her to do her best to complete the tasks assigned by the police without caring about other people's eyes.

"I understand." In the face of a crisis, Akashi's company made Saya more courageous. For him and to rescue the trapped people, she must not shrink back before difficulties.

Walking to the low table where the phone was placed, Saya glanced down at the microphone above, and then at the police officer in charge of monitoring. After the connection between the laptop and the tracking device was completed, she received the hint from the police officer's eyes and slowly stretched out her hand. Picked up the microphone.

"Hi, I'm Saya Hashimoto."

The soft words started the conversation with the bandit leader. At this time, Saya was very calm and was not affected by the surrounding atmosphere.In fact, as early as the first harassing call came to Akashi's house, she was mentally prepared to negotiate with the bandit leader. Unfortunately, this time the bandit leader was a young man, not the person she was looking for.

"It's finally you, Ms. Hashimoto, are you in good health?"

A deep male voice came from the other side of the phone, and the playful tone seemed to be surprised by Saya's good condition. He was a little surprised that he was able to talk to him normally now that he was obviously seriously injured and hospitalized.

"Thank you for your greeting, I have been taught that knife."

Anger is not a must for a conversation. Saya's calmness surprised everyone present, but at the same time, she was also worried. She was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, anger the bandit leader, and cause the hostages to be killed.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not the enemy you're looking for. Today I'm looking for you for another matter. I think, as smart as you, you should know how to do it."

"What you want is my mother's inheritance." Sha Ye didn't bother to go around in circles with the other party, and pointed out the key point directly.

"That's right, as long as you sign the property transfer document, I will release him." The other party readily threw down the bait, waiting for Saya to take the bait.

Unexpectedly, Sha Ye was not interested in his bait, instead he threw the bait back and said, "If you want me to sign, at least you have to show some sincerity. If you're not sure they're still alive, don't even think about me signing."

Unexpectedly, Sha Ye would do something like this, the bandit leader was silent for a moment, and after a while, he replied: "Okay, I'll let them answer the phone."

When the people present heard that the bandit leader agreed to compromise, they cast expectant glances at Saya. For several days, they had trouble sleeping and eating, unable to know the life or death of their son.Now, it is a good start for the bandits to let their relatives answer the phone, at least they can be sure that their son is still alive.

Time passed by, and the waiting time was not long. The bandit leader was also a quick worker, and he said he would bring someone to answer the phone, and he quickly fulfilled his promise.The police also installed a device to broadcast the sound on the monitoring equipment, so that the family members who are anxiously waiting for an answer can hear the voice of their loved ones.

"Cousin, I'm Jingsuke, how is your injury? I'm worried about you..." The first phone call after being kidnapped made Jingsuke happy, but also hesitant. He had too much to say, But with the bandit leader at his side, he could only swallow the words that came to his mouth.

"My injury doesn't matter. If it's you, they didn't rape you, right?" Saya wanted to know the condition of her cousin and Naoki. If they were really beaten, she would consider replacing them early and never waste a minute half a second.

"Naoki and I are fine. We eat and live well. I'll ask him to come and answer the phone." As soon as Jingfu finished speaking, he handed over the microphone to Naoki beside him, but before he could speak, the voice on the other side of the phone Almost startled him.

"Naoki, are you okay? Talk to me!" Kasuga Hirochi, who is eager for his son, snatched the phone from Saya's hand, and shouted to the other side, "Don't worry, Dad will find a way to rescue you. "

"Dad, don't be impatient. My side is safe and there will be no danger. Please hand the microphone to Ms. Hashimoto. I have something to say to her." After speaking to reassure his father, Naoki asked him to The call right was returned to Saya, and he wanted to give Saya a warning during the rare call opportunity.

Knowing that his son was safe and sound, Haruhi Hirochi finally felt relieved, but when he heard that his son was going to talk to Saya, his expression turned gloomy. He had no choice but to deal with the bandit leader and needed her, so he reluctantly handed over the phone to Saya. Saya.

"Please tell me, Master Kasuga, I will do my best to help you." After answering the phone, Saya's tone remained calm. Even though Hirochi Kasuga was staring at her with resentment, she was not affected and continued to talk to her. Bandit call.

"Next time you buy flowers, don't buy red amaryllis flowers, that's not suitable for you." Naoki didn't pay attention to Saya's injury like Keisuke, but said a very ordinary and meaningless sentence to her, listening to her Everyone in the room was confused and didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Thank you for your opinion. Those flowers are not bad. I'll accept them." Saya naturally understood Naoki's secret words, the red amaryllis flower, another name is the well-known 'Manzhusawa' According to legend, it is opened on Huangquan Road and is designed to lead the way for the dead.And when he mentioned this flower, it was obviously a warning, and he told her that the hostage exchange this time was filled with a strong breath of death.

"Master Haruhi is really considerate. It's really infuriating to hear that he still takes care of your daily life in times of crisis."

The bandit leader is not a fool, how could he fail to hear the hint in Naoki's words?But he didn't do anything to the hostages for this reason. He knew that even if the other party received a warning, the exchange of hostages would go smoothly.

Everyone present heard the displeasure in the bandit leader's words, and immediately turned pale with fright, and were at a loss. The mothers of the two victims even cried so hard that they were afraid that the bandit leader would get angry and tear up their tickets.Seeing this scene, Saya's heart couldn't help tightening, and it made her more determined to finish the matter completely.

"Really? It's a pity. I also want to tell you that there is another part of my mother's inheritance." People died for money, and under the temptation of money and interests, other things are just floating clouds. Saya didn't believe it. A sum of money has no interest.

"What you said is true?" Saya successfully diverted the attention of the bandit leader, and also made his tone more dignified from the arrogant innuendo before. It is conceivable that when he heard that there was another huge sum of money, Don't be tempted, it's definitely fake.

Realizing that the fish had bitten the bait, Sayelle continued to put on the long line, and she replied with a smile: "Of course, I am the sole heir of the inheritance, and I definitely know more than you. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. That document is in my hand."

"Tell me, what conditions do you want?" The situation took a 180-degree turn, and the bandit leader became the target of threats. Under Saya's strong bait, he first proposed the terms of exchange.

"It's very simple. I want the hostages to leave safely. As long as they have a scar or a scar on their bodies, I will immediately burn the document and refuse to sign it, so that the big boss behind you will not get a penny." Saya began to pull Tighten the fishing line and test the patience of the other party. If he is really interested in the money, he will definitely agree to her conditions immediately, instead of being hesitant and unable to make a decision.

"As expected of the granddaughter of the old belly snake, the fangs are not fully grown and can bite people painfully. Okay, I accept your conditions. Next Monday, we will exchange hostages in the old warehouse near the port. How about it?"

"Next Monday? I'm afraid your big boss can't wait until then. I won't tempt you. The day after tomorrow, we will solve this matter once and for all."

The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is to the hostages, and within two days, it is enough for the police to make relevant preparations. At that time, they only need to rescue people according to the original plan.

"No problem, as you wish, then we will see you the day after tomorrow."

After the bandit leader negotiated the conditions, he hung up quickly, and the police in charge of monitoring just finished the work at hand. He and his colleagues found that the location of the bandit leader was in the downtown area of ​​Tokyo. There are a lot of public phone booths in the hiding place, even if they find the exact coordinates, they can only rush there now, and they can only wait until the day after tomorrow if they want to catch people.

Saya put down the phone, thinking about what would happen the day after tomorrow.Although she told the bandit leader that she had another property certificate, it was very difficult to get it out on that day.Even if she had saved the old documents given by the lawyer before, it would take a lot of effort to revise them, that’s all, maybe there is still time to rush to work. Fortunately, there were more than one lawyer in charge of the will at the time, so it should be no problem to ask them.

"Today, everyone, go back and wait for the news. We will send someone to notify you after the incident the day after tomorrow is over."

The task of the police monitoring the gangster's phone has been completed, and it is inconvenient for everyone to stay at Akashi's house, so they went back home to wait for the good news according to the police's arrangement.The huge living room gradually became deserted shortly after the family members dispersed. At this time, the only people left in the living room were Akashi and his son and the elder of the family, Akashi Takeshi.

"Miss Hashimoto, are you really going to exchange hostages the day after tomorrow?" Akashi Takeshi called Saya who was about to leave, and he waved to her, signaling her to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Yes, I must go the day after tomorrow." Saya did not change his decision, and still insisted on making the trip the day after tomorrow.

"What's the reason? Is there anything more important than my nephew, worth your risk?" This is not the first time Akashi Tsuyoshi met Saya. In fact, at the summer banquet, he observed her from a distance, curious Why she was chosen by Lizi to become his future nephew and grand-niece, now it seems that he knows the reason.

Faced with Akashi Tsuyoshi's questioning, Saya remained calm and did not regret her decision at all. She replied: "The incident started because of me, and I will end it. If I don't even have the ability to bear it alone, I will not He deserves to be the heir of the Hashimoto family."

Saya's answer made Akashi Takeshi stunned. After a while, he continued to ask: "Even if you know that this hostage exchange will never return, you still want to go?"

"Yes." She had made an agreement with the bandit leader, and Saya would never break her promise. As for the danger factor, it was not something she had to consider. The most important thing was to replace people first.
