Chapter 802 Jiang Xia, who you kidnapped for a monthly pass (`)

They took out a slightly old business card that looked like it had been exposed to the wind and the sun, and carefully placed it on the coffee table.

"Our daughter Eri got married a few days ago and is planning to go on a honeymoon trip, so let's take time to take care of the cat at her house. There is a device for feeding and watering at home, and it's enough to deal with it once a few days.

"Who knows today when we went to see her, her suitcase was still open in the bedroom, and the luggage was not tucked in at all - but she hadn't contacted us for several days, we thought she was addicted to travel, but now... ... something must have happened to her!

"After discovering the situation in the house, we called the police and wanted to ask the neighbors if they had seen anything. But when we got to the door, we suddenly found a gray box next to the courtyard door. It was brown and black, and it looked like a It's like a coffin! When you look closer, there's a rancid smell inside..."

The police officers were startled, and their expressions gradually became serious.

According to the usual practice, the coffin-like box probably contains parts used to intimidate such as amputated limbs... This, this is a major case!

... But what does it have to do with Jiang Xia?

They looked at the business card with a slight curiosity, and pricked up their ears to hear the following.

Jiang Xia was silent for a while. These elements sound familiar...

The couple paused for a moment, as if suppressing their panic.

After a while, he continued: "We opened the box and found that it contained a dead cat that had been dead for many days - it was the cat my daughter kept. In addition, there was a sheet on the lid of the box. The business card, this one... this must be a threat!"

Sato Miwako: "..."

She seemed to have heard something similar, although it was from another angle... She silently looked at Jiang Xia.

Others are still struggling with the bizarre kidnapping case itself.

When they were reasoning, they accidentally excluded Jiang Xia, who didn't look like a criminal in any way, from the kidnappers, and began to reason along the box:

"Speaking of which, didn't the kidnappers make any demands on you? For example, asking for ransom, or making some specific demands that only you can do, or even saying something like, 'Don't call the police'..."

"No." The two couples, who were slightly out of touch with modern society, were silent for a while. Following the simple principle of "call the police when they encounter a criminal", they went straight to the police station when they found out that something had happened. Whenever the kidnappers say "don't call the police" on the way, they may wake up a little and do the same, but they don't...

"That's weird." The policemen were lost in thought. Judging from the situation, that "Miss Eri" has been missing for several days. According to common sense, after such a long time, if the kidnappers have any requests, they must have started contacting the family members long ago.

Also, about that "kidnapper's business card"...

A few onlookers took a closer look and found the problem.

This business card, they all felt very familiar, it was Jiang Xia's business card - this young detective seemed to like his profession very much, and he was always sending this to others, and they all had one, and they met Jiang Xia a lot. Yes, even a small stack has been saved.

Good man Shibu Takagi thought for a while and explained to the couple:

"Although it is indeed Jiang Xia's business card, it does not mean that he is the kidnapper - Jiang Xia has sent these to many people because of his work. It may also be that the suspect is there to deliberately confuse the public."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xia's hesitant voice came from the side: "...I put it on myself."

Takagi Shibu: "..."? ? ?

Several police officers also looked at Jiang Xia in shock, and the tragic trend of "high school detectives have seen too much of the dark side of society, and their minds have been polluted and distorted" appeared in their minds.

Jiang Xia waved his hand and ruthlessly cut off their brain tonic:

"But I'm not the one who kidnapped Miss Eri - a few days ago, I picked up a dead cat in a park on the outskirts of the city with a few children." And a cat ghost... But you don't need to talk to the police about this. said.

Jiang Xia glanced at his new ghost with satisfaction, and continued: "The cat card has the corresponding contact number and address. We couldn't get through the phone, thinking that the cat owner was busy, so we followed the address to send the cat back.

"Not long after that, I ran into the policeman who was handling the case at the Young Master's Pavilion Hotel, and then I gradually learned that the murderer of that case was too flustered when he killed the victim, and also killed the passing cat. This cat is the The murdered cat in that case.

"When I sent the cat back, I was worried that the owner of the house would be frightened when he saw the dead cat and didn't know the situation, so I left a business card for her to contact me in the future..."

Sato Miwako also remembered this incident, and cleared her throat a little embarrassedly: "It was my mistake. In that case, the murderer was caught on the spot on the way to the second murder, and later confessed to the crime. Plus the physical evidence. And the traces of the real scene in the park have been extracted, so I didn't bother that cat anymore..."

After all, these days, there seem to be a lot more cases than before. The police really didn't care about these details. They have found a lot of hard evidence...

Listening to the conversation between the detective and the police, the couple was stunned: "If that's the case... Then what's going on with Eri?"

"It's not very clear now." Jiang Xia is quite interested in their case, anyway, there are still a few days left for the task, so let's do something else first, "But at the moment, 'dead cat' and 'missing painting' Miss Li', these should be two unrelated matters. Now that the former has been resolved, the latter can be treated as an independent incident for the time being - can you take me to your house? Maybe you can find some information about the The clues to her disappearance. Besides, since it is about to go on a honeymoon, you'd better get in touch with the new husband as soon as possible, it may be very useful. "

The couple looked at each other for a moment, then nodded worriedly. Get up and plan to take the police and detectives home.

Also, about the son-in-law

"After we called the police, we kept contacting him on the way to the police station, but we never got in touch.

"At that time, we thought that he might have been kidnapped by Jiang Xia along with Eri..."

The old couple who went to the hospital in a hurry became alert and had a new target of suspicion: "Could it be that he kidnapped our daughter?!"

"..." Miwako Sato sighed, "Let's go to the scene of the disappearance first."

Masuo Eri's financial situation seems to be good, and he has a house before getting married. Now that she is married, she is gradually moving her belongings to her new home, and there are not many things at home now.

Before Jiang Xia came to the hospital, he glanced at the box with the cat corpse next to the courtyard doorwhen the old couple went to the police, they only brought business cards, not the whole box. After all, it is a corpse that represents death and bad luck, and they dare not run around with this thing on their backs.
