Chapter 698 The Kidnapper Wants Ten Billion Dollars(1/2)
The police in Hyogo Prefecture were busy. Over in Osaka City, Police Inspector Heizo received a call from the Otaki Police Department and dispatched the Chief of Criminal Investigation, Toyama Ginjiro, to investigate the case of Situ Xiu's disappearance. A rescue operation involved the entire Osaka police force.
Who is Situ Xiu?
Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye's friend, their father is half the sky of the Osaka Police Station.
Half an hour later.
The police used surveillance equipment and finally tracked the vehicle with license plate number 9438. The vehicle left Hyogo Prefecture and headed for a mountain road. The police immediately dispatched officers to search.
1 hour later.
The car was found, but there was no one inside, indicating that the criminal got out of the car and left, or left in a different vehicle.
No matter which road it is, there is no surveillance equipment on this road, and there are too many passing vehicles, so the police cannot determine the traces of the gangsters.
Simply put, the gangster's information is lost.
"What! Changed the vehicle."
Hattori Heiji and Conan both looked solemn. Although they had already guessed that this would be the result, they still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Hui Yuan Ai had worry on her face, hoping in her heart that nothing would happen to Situ Xiu.
At this time, Sonoko, Kazuha, Xiaolan, Koizumi Hongzi, and Miyano Akemi rushed from the Takarazuka venue. They received a call from Uncle Mori and came to Koshien without a moment's rest.
"What is going on? Why is Xiaoxiu missing?" Koizumi Hongzi looked worried.
"After the game..." Uncle Maori recounted what happened.
"Kidnapper?"
Koizumi Anko was slightly startled, looked at Hattori Heiji, and asked calmly: "Hattori, are you sure they are kidnappers, and their purpose is to ask for money?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm 70% sure that the kidnapping was for money. The remaining 30%, I don't know if they are your family's enemies." Hattori Heiji frowned.
A member of a wealthy family was kidnapped, first for money and second for enemies.
After hearing this, Koizumi Hongzi immediately said: "We are not enemies. Our family is very low-key and basically does not cause unnecessary trouble."
"Why do you think so?" Conan asked curiously.
Koizumi Hongzi frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "It's very complicated here. Let me tell you simply, our family is doing business, and others will not know that it is us."
"Like Tiga's film company?" Conan pinched his chin and said.
"Yes, others are responsible. We don't care. We only collect money." Koizumi Hongzi said.
Everyone looked confused.
There is also this kind of thing, you can get money without showing up.
Uncle Maoli was puzzled: "You don't come forward, but someone in charge will know."
"No, the person in charge doesn't know either, because they are dealing with the company, not us."
Seeing that they were all acquaintances, Koizumi Hongzi felt safe and told her family affairs, but she didn't say too much, just simple words.
"What about the press conference?" Yuanzi asked.
"Others in the company act as agents." Koizumi Hongzi said.
"So strict." Sonoko said in surprise, suddenly thinking of her high-profile uncle Shiro Suzuki. In contrast, Koizumi Anko's family was really low-key.
Miyano Akemi and Haihara Ai were both silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
Xiao Lan thought for a while and said: "If it's about kidnapping, Xiao Xiu didn't do anything high-profile, so why would he kidnap him?"
"Yeah, I'm very confused." He Ye agreed,
"Indeed, I have been thinking about this question, why did you suddenly target Xiaoxiu?" Mouri Kogoro said while holding his chin.
yes.
Why did Xiao Xiu be captured?
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, both of them confused, why would they arrest Xiao Xiu if they were not enemies.
He didn't show off his wealth everywhere, so who were those two people?
"Ding ding ding~" the phone rang, Koizumi Hongzi picked up the phone and pressed it.
"grandmother."
"Is Xiao Xiu there with you?"
Grandma's words shocked Koizumi Hongzi slightly, "Grandma, do you know that Xiao Xiu is missing?"
"How did you bring your brother? Didn't I tell you that you must watch carefully when he goes out with you?" Grandma was slightly angry.
"I..." Koizumi Hongzi's eyes turned red, feeling a little aggrieved.
Everyone else noticed something was wrong and fell silent for a while.
Grandma: "I hope it's okay. Someone called me just now and asked me for 10 billion U.S. dollars. I've already asked people to prepare it."
"Grandma, can't you use that to find it?" Koizumi Hongzi said.
"It's useless, I tried, otherwise I wouldn't be angry with you, ugh." Grandma sighed.
"No way!" Koizumi Hongzi didn't believe it. The magic was perfect at finding people, and it could basically find the location of the person you were looking for.
"Okay, I have contacted the police here and asked them to investigate secretly in plain clothes. Please don't call the police." Grandma said.
"Ah...but the police have been called." Koizumi Hongzi said weakly.
"Tell them to remove it. We don't need them. Don't harm Xiaoxiu then. I'll give you whatever money you have." Grandma said.
"Beep beep..." The phone hung up.
Koizumi Hongzi knows that Situ Xiu is the most important to her grandmother, which is normal, everything in the family is bigger than her.
Is it like the customs of the old society, which is very unpleasant, but you must know that this is how the Red Magic family has survived for thousands of years.
The most glorious ones will also decline. As time goes by, in the past few hundred years, the Red Magic family has finally been defeated. Compared with before, it no longer has the glory of the past.
To the Red Magic family, money is just a number and has no effect.
Just like a tree, it will eventually grow old one day, not to mention the earth that has dried up.
Koizumi Anko collected her thoughts, looked at Hattori Heiji, and said: "Hattori, tell the police in Osaka not to investigate, so as not to alert the gangsters and hurt Xiaoxiu."
"What does that mother-in-law mean?" Hattori Heiji knew that Situ Xiu had a mother-in-law at home.
"Yes." Koizumi Hongzi nodded.
"I understand." Hattori Heiji took out his phone and called his father Hattori Heizo.
Uncle Maoli asked: "How did she know that something happened to Xiao Xiu?"
"The kidnappers called and asked for 10 billion U.S. dollars," Koizumi Anko said.
"$10 billion?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Conan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
.........
1 hour ago.
In an old house, two men took Situ Xiu out of the box, placed him on a chair, and pulled off the bandage on his mouth.
"Brother, there is no need to put it on the armchair." said the younger brother.
"You know what the heck, this is a rich young master, of course you have to serve him well," the eldest brother said.
"Wake up, we're home."
Situ Xiu pretended to be dazed and yawned, "Where is this place? Why is it so dark?"
"You have been kidnapped, tell me your home phone number." The elder brother took out a knife.
Situ Xiu said casually: "7799..."
"Very cooperative." The younger brother was a little surprised.
"How much do you want?"
Situ Xiu looked at the two of them, wearing a hat and a mask to cover his face. Just like in the bathroom just now, his face shape could not be seen.
"200 million." The younger brother said casually.
The eldest brother stared, "Why are you talking so much?"
"I..." The younger brother felt a little aggrieved and glared at Situ Xiu, blaming this stupid kid.
"That's it? It's only 200 million, that's all I'm worth." Situ Xiu said with a smile.
The eldest brother was just about to make a call. When he heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This young master is a bit unusual. It seems that children from rich families are different. They can still remain calm and composed at this time. Then young master, do you think you are worth it?"
How many."
"Let me think about it..."
