Chapter 1720

Jiang Xia made an excuse casually: "The boss is investigating in the direction Mr. Wu Ju said, and I don't need anyone's help, so I want to come over to see where Wu Ju might have drifted along the river. Maybe she is lucky, and the kind-hearted people passing by I rescued him and picked it up and brought him home. I have to work harder to find him because I was a classmate.

Conan nodded sympathetically, and in the middle of nodding, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer a high school student. So he searched for love very smoothly: "Brother Jiang Xia's friends are my friends! Just like Sister Xiaolan and Sister Yuanzi, I will try my best to find them."

But Secretary Huai sighed. She walked to the river, looked at the broad river, tears filled her eyelashes: "But it's been almost a day, and Naoko hasn't fallen yet. Who can live in the water for such a long time? She may have died. ..."

She shook her head and didn't finish her sentence, but everyone could understand the meaning in her wordsTakei Naoko might be dead, and it's better to find the robber than to find her.

Soon, Secretary Hanai seemed not in the mood to continue the chat, and left.

Yoko Kinoshita looked at her back, waited for her to go away, and sighed in a low voice: "Not only Miss Naoko regards Secretary Hanai as her sister, but Secretary Hanai should also treat Miss Naoko as a relative. It is really embarrassing to say goodbye suddenly. .

She suddenly thought, if Jiang Xia fell into the river, her life and death would be unknown...

Yoko Kinoshita: "..." Although she didn't watch Jiang Xia grow up like Secretary Hanai did to Naoko Takei, Jiang Xia's detective career grew little by little.

Just thinking about Jiang Xia's sudden death, leaving behind an empty office and an unreliable detective boss, Yoko Kinoshita couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her heart, feeling sad.

But looking back, the unlucky client she imagined was not affected by Secretary Huajing's emotions at all.

Jiang Xia was standing next to the guard net, looking across the river, and so was the child at his feet.

Finding that Yoko Kinoshita recovered from her sadness, Jiang Xia pointed to the boat on the other side of the river: "Let's go to the people over there to ask about the situation."

On the opposite side, there are many middle-aged men who have nothing to do and come fishing nearby in small boats. According to experience, this group of fishing enthusiasts often will not leave after only one day of fishing, but will haunt the water for a long time.

So when the kidnappers ran into the river, someone in the group was probably there and noticed what the police didn't.

Jiang Xia went over to ask, and sure enough, someone talked about something worth noting.

"Suspicious people coming out of the water? That's not true. But let me talk about something that impressed me..." The uncle snorted, a little annoyed, "Actually, I don't usually fish here, but upstream. Yesterday I came here to take a look when I heard a loud noise coming from here, but unexpectedly there was a guy driving a speedboat on the river, slid past it, and almost knocked the bow of my boat, he was so unqualified!"

Conan was taken aback, feeling that the ship was very suspicious, and asked: "Where is that speedboat parked, do you know who its owner is?"

"I don't know, it must belong to a rich family, that's why I dared to run amok in the river." The uncle scratched his head, "If you want to find it, you can follow here to the pier above, and the speedboat is not used. Most of the time it stops there. I remember that the speedboat that almost hit me had a piece of paint off the stern, so it should be easy to find."

The three of them went to the pier again, looking for clues provided by enthusiastic passers-by, and found the boat really quickly.

Yoko Kinoshita hugged the camera, a little tangled, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "This seems to be a personal item. Isn't it good for us to go directly up? Why don't I ask my assistant to contact the owner of the ship."

Jiang Xia felt it was too troublesome, shook her head at her, and poked Conan.

Conan: ""

Soon, the elementary school students ran up the boat along the ladder.

Jiang Xia followed: "The child is disobedient, I'll go and bring him back."

Then the two climbed onto the speedboat one after the other.

Yoko Kinoshita was stunned: "..." So that child used it like this?

She seems to have opened the door to a new world.

Soon, Yoko Kinoshita followed suit and chased themthe two minors ran around without authorization. It was really too dangerous, and she, an adult sister, must be there to supervise them.

Not long after, all three of them arrived on the speedboat.

Fortunately, the owner of the ship did not come out to scold, and they could check it leisurely.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a set of diving equipment thrown under the stool.

Jiang Xia picked up the diving suit casually, and found that there was still a trace of wet stains on the stacked part of it, as if it had been used not long ago.

He glanced at Yoko Kinoshita's camera: "The Mumu Police Department should be able to rest assured that the kidnapper fell into the water not because he was chased by the police and had nowhere to escape, but because he had a plan. He changed into the diving suit in advance, and the vehicle fell into the water and broke open. windows, and dived into the water. While other people's attention was on the vehicle that fell into the water, the kidnappers got into the speedboat that had been hidden under the bridge in the blind spot around them, and then quickly drove away among the boats watching the excitement.

Yoko Kinoshita was stunned for a moment: "Even the boat and diving suit are ready, so he is so sure that Mr. Takeju called the police?"

Conan thought of something, his expression changed, and he suddenly began to rummage around.

Jiang Xia: "I saw it just now, there is no place to hide a corpse here. Moreover, it is very difficult to take people diving. When the kidnappers escaped from the car, they should not have taken the hostages with them."

Conan rubbed his chin in thought: "Where did the hostage go? I remember Mr. Wuju said that he saw his daughter in the kidnapper's car."

Jiang Xia stood up and quickly followed the clues: "Go to the administrator first and ask the owner of the speedboat."

The administrator didn't provide much information. The speedboat here can be rented if you have money, and the one left by the kidnapper is obviously a fake name. The address and phone number are all fabricated.

Walking out of the manager's hut, the three of them were about to go back to the yacht to have a look, when Jiang Xia suddenly received a call.

"The commission is cancelled." Takei Katsuhiko's voice came from the mobile phone, "It's nothing to do with your detectives. You can send the account to my secretary later, and I will ask her to call you the commission fee."

Jiang Xia: "Stop looking for the kidnapper and Miss Wuju?"

Wuju Katsuhiko snorted coldly, his attitude was completely different from yesterday: "My daughter is already dead, why are you looking for kidnappers! You are not allowed to interfere in this matter, or I will sue you for invasion of privacy."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone vigorously.

Jiang Xia looked at his phone, while the other two looked at him.

Katsuhiko Takei had a loud voice, Yoko Kinoshita heard the movement just now, it was hard to understand: "What the **** is he thinking?"

Jiang Xia translated Wuju Katsuhiko's words: "It should be that the kidnapper contacted him again, so he canceled the commission and wanted to go alone to negotiate."
