My neighbor's name is Conan

Human nature has a greedy side.

Since it is obvious that one person can do it, two people can do it safely, why do four people do it?

Thirty million yen seems like a large amount of money, but when divided among four people, it only amounts to [-] million yen per person, which is not enough.

According to the living price level in Tokyo, to live a normal and ordinary life, without extravagance at all, this money can barely live for three years, and you have to count and smoke cigarettes.

Now that you say it, [-] million yen is not much.

If it is really to kidnap the victim for ransom, then it will definitely investigate the financial situation of the other party's family in advance, and whether they have the ability to pay the ransom.

Without the financial strength to pay the ransom, no matter how threatened, the other party's parents would not be able to pay.

Obviously, the circumstances of this case did not meet this requirement. The kidnappers did not know much about the financial situation of Inoue's family.

and so……

After hearing Aoki Matsu's words, Megure Police Department showed a thoughtful expression on his face, "You mean, the victim may have accidentally caught the kidnapper committing another crime, but the prisoner found out and kidnapped her.

After kidnapping the victim, I knew from her mouth that her family had money, so I started to blackmail.But because the victims saw their faces, the kidnappers were not prepared to keep the victims alive from the very beginning. "

Miwako Sato frowned and said: "This situation is not impossible. Under normal circumstances, kidnappers will not commit murder. The crime of kidnapping and extortion is far less serious than murder. The victim was strangled to death with a rope. Obviously it wasn't an accident."

When the kidnapper kidnaps the victim, if something goes wrong, the victim may die accidentally.

But this case is clearly not.

Don't look at Qing Musong who often complains in his heart that people in this world will kill people if they don't agree with each other, but in fact, many people kill because of a moment of anger, just a momentary impulse.

After calming down, many people still regret it.

There are not many people who plan to kill people when their minds are calm.

And that's the paradox in this case.

Deliberate targeting, ransom and number of kidnappers are problematic.

And the vast majority of kidnappers will not intentionally kill.

But considering the age of the victim Inoue Huali, it is possible that such seemingly contradictory things were done by her peers. Some middle-aged and second-year teenagers can do anything, and sometimes they are more cruel than adults.

And things like bullying on campus can't be eliminated at all, it's the same everywhere.

After thinking for a while, Mumu Police Department got up solemnly and called an emergency meeting of the first search department and the third department, told the people present what Aoki Song and the two said just now, and then issued his own order.

The chief police officer led people to visit and investigate, to see if anyone had accidentally seen or heard anything on the way from the cram school to Inoue's house, and whether there were any clues left on that road.

Miwako Sato and others were responsible for investigating the victim's interpersonal relationship, and also asked the victim's friends if they had any clues.

The possibility that a teenager in middle school may have committed the crime cannot yet be ruled out.

Although the Inoue couple said that the victim was very well-behaved, the criminals would not believe the other side's words casually after they were responsible for more cases.

Qing Musong is responsible for checking the files to see if there are any cases that meet the conditions of the four criminals.

There is no way, the Metropolitan Police Department has just computerized its offices, and many previous materials have not been recorded. If you want to check, you can only look for them one by one.

They are all big projects.

However, as a senior old science scientist, Aoki Song still has a clever way to reduce the workload, that is-to find the case of Mihua Town first.

There is no scientific basis, just the intuition of scientists.

Sure enough, after looking through a few files, Aoki Song found what he was looking for.

He picked it up and hurried to the Megure Police Department.

"Police department, look at this case." As he spoke, Aoki Matsu unfolded the file and placed it in front of Megure police department.

The Mumu Police Department took a closer look, "This is a missing case at Mihua Police Station the day before yesterday. A lady called the police and said that her son did not come home the day before and did not go to school the next day. Relatives and friends have asked about it. No one was found.”

"Well, the police department, the time and approximate location of the other party's disappearance can match the time and location of Inoue Huali's kidnapping." Qing Musong said.

If according to Aokisong's previous reasoning, then this person was probably killed at that time, and ended up being bumped into by Inoue Huali, so the prisoner simply did nothing...

Thinking of this, Mumu Police Department's complexion became a lot more serious.

For the criminal police, killing two prisoners is naturally more difficult than killing one prisoner.

Because killing the first person may be an excessive killing, but it is not bad to the end.After killing two people, the mentality of the prisoners will change drastically, and some will even continue to murder the third and fourth...

"You and Ida go to investigate this case." Memu Police Department issued an order.

"Yes!" Aoki Song replied.

Then he and Detective Ida walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department and rushed to Miwa Police Station to inquire about the case.

I learned about the man named Shuichi Nozawa when his mother, Mrs. Nozawa, came to report the case around 11 o'clock the day before yesterday.

According to Mrs. Nozawa, Shuichi Nozawa went to play football with his friends after school three days ago. His friend Mrs. Nozawa and the police officers from the Mihua Police Department also asked each other, and they played until six o'clock. Around that time, it was over, and then everyone went back to their homes to find their respective mothers.

There is a small overlap between Shuichi Nozawa's journey home from playing football and Kari Inoue's journey home from cram school.

Then looking at the distance, Nozawa Shuichi is closer to that distance.

In other words, if you walk in the direction of home at the same time, Nozawa Shuichi will reach the overlapping road earlier than Inoue Kari.

Assuming that he was really killed, taking into account the time of the murder, Inoue Kari would probably just happen to be passing by.

Because of this assumption, the Mumu Police Department asked Aoki Matsu to investigate the case.

If there is nothing involved, this kind of investigation is the responsibility of the police station below, and the third department of the first search department is not responsible for this kind of thing.

After all, not every disappearance will result in a death.

In an economic downturn like Neon's now, too many cases of disappearances are caused by some people who don't want to take on some responsibilities and debts, and then disappear.

But a hypothesis is a hypothesis, and the truth of the case may not be the case.

What the police have to do is make bold assumptions and then carefully verify them.
