Chapter 16 Chapter Six

The prisoner was hiding in a house in the suburbs.This is far away from other houses, isolated at the foot of the mountain, and it is a newly built house for a person who holds an important position in a large company.For some reason, the prisoner knew that the master's family was traveling to Europe during the summer vacation, so he used this as a hiding place. It was a patrol car that happened to be passing by that found the fire. When the police saw thick white smoke escaping from the wooden cased windows and broke through the gate, the first floor was already in flames.There seemed to be people on the second floor, but the stairs were surrounded by flames.Climbing up to the roof from the outside of the house and entering through a broken window, the second floor was also filled with thick smoke.At the stairway, a man was lying down, half of his clothes were already on fire.It seemed that he was burned by the flames when he was about to run down the stairs.The girl's body was bound with ropes and she fell by the window.It seemed that they had lost consciousness after inhaling too much smoke. The police took a lot of effort to transport the two out of the scene of the fire.

It was past nine o'clock when everyone arrived at the hospital.I don't know if there were not enough wards, but the girl and the suspect were lying side by side on beds in the same room. That girl was indeed Qu Muling.Several bandages were wrapped around her head, her eyes were closed innocently, and she fell into a deep sleep as if dead. Qu Mu, who was very worried about A Ling's life, asked the doctor and learned that there was no life-threatening condition, and hugged A Ling and cried.The leather bag hanging from his shoulders shook in response to the crying.The leather bag contained the 30 million yen that I took out of the paper bag when I left the apartment.

Qu Mu's wife stood in a daze in perplexity, looking at her husband who was crying sadly beside her.Gangyuan was in the corner by the door, with his hands crossed, his cheeks drooping and buried in his arms. The prisoner also appears to have survived.However, due to the injury on the face, the eyelids were bandaged like a mummy, and the real face could not be seen. The cause of the fire has not yet been ascertained. "Is there no one else in the house?" the white turban asked the police who found the two. "No, only these two people were found." "The other prisoner escaped successfully?——No, maybe the two accomplices had a commotion, and maybe the other one set fire to the house and escaped. In short, it is certain that the prisoner did not know where and when he would pay the ransom What a useless wretch to stay here, without a ransom, and wounded in the fire—oh! I still don't know what the guy looks like."

"this matter--" The visitor's eyes focused on Junping who suddenly spoke loudly.Junping, standing in the center of the ward, blushed with shame because so many sudden eyes were focused on him, he stammered: "Ah! Mmm! This man is Mr. Gohara's son, Asahiro." After a while, the whole ward fell into silence, and what broke the silence was the angry cry of Gohara, whose face had been distorted. "Nonsense! Chaoguang is now in the United States—" "This kind of lie can be verified immediately. Chaoguang left home at the end of July, and now he is lying on this hospital bed."

"What the hell are you—" "Mr. Gangyuan, you should just give up! Once Chaoguang regains consciousness, everything will be clear. I have already found out everything from the place where the maid who left your house half a month ago did not only know Ah Ling's biological father is you, and you also know that A Ling and Miyoko are twins, and Chao Guang threatened to make this secret known to the world and ran away from home." "You—when did you know these things—" The white turban was not the only one who was surprised. "What is this guy talking about!" Everyone looked closely at Junping.

"In this kidnapping case, the most important thing is the beginning of the matter. Why did the prisoner ask A Ling to contact the police at the shrine? The general kidnapping method is to secretly threaten the victim not to contact the police by phone. If she resists, she will be killed." Is it true that the child tearing up the ticket? But the prisoner in this incident broke this unwritten rule and first informed the police. If the purpose is only to obtain the ransom, this method is not wise. In other words, we should speculate that the prisoner There is another purpose—yes, the criminal’s goal is not money. The original intention is to kidnap Aling. His plan is to make Shoko mistaken, and the prisoner himself mistook Aling for Miyoko, and then kidnapped him. The target—A Ling. This is a trap set by the prisoner. According to the investigation, the prisoner once said on the phone that he would borrow money from Gang Yuan for the ransom. Indeed, it is only natural for a poor adoptive father to borrow money from a rich biological father to redeem his child. !—That’s what the prisoner thought. Then, when borrowing money, Qumu or Gohara would inevitably reveal the secret of A Ling’s life experience. The purpose of the prisoner is as simple as that. , the oath he made to his father—that is, to expose his father’s past scandals and ruin his reputation and status—that’s why he let the police know about this incident at the beginning of the kidnapping case. He originally planned to be a media professional After reporting the relationship between A Ling and Gang Yuan, and achieving the goal of discrediting her father, send A Ling back to Qu Mu's house safely!"

"You're lying!" Gohara spit out a weak voice like a groan. Junping was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes, as you said, what I just said was all lies." The white turban stared at Junping with his mouth open, as if his jaw had been dislocated again.Xiangzi and the others also looked shocked. "It's all lies. But, Mr. Gohara, I didn't realize that the speculation just now was wrong. In fact, it should be attributed to you! Don't you think that the prisoner is Asahiro as I said just now? He wanted revenge on you , so committed this kidnapping case, don’t you think so?”

Ganghara was stunned suddenly. "What the hell are you trying to say?—" "Yeah! I don't understand either." The white turban echoed with a snort. "The matter is very simple! At this moment, it is true that Chaoguang is sleeping on this hospital bed, but Chaoguang is not a prisoner. ——Mr. Criminal Police, just now you said that the prisoner is a useless idiot, and he has not received a ransom. Another accidental failure because of a fire—but, Mr. Detective, the prisoner's failure is not in the fact that the fire occurred, but in the fact that the fire was discovered by a patrol car that happened to pass by before the scheduled time. Moreover, the prisoner you said It is wrong not to get the ransom. The real criminal has already got the ransom. And the method of paying the ransom is done without anyone noticing. The kidnapping incident this time, if the patrol car did not accidentally find that fire If so, it has been a complete success.”

"But the ransom is still here—" The white turban hurriedly looked at Qu Mu's face, and pointed to the backpack hanging on his shoulder.Qu Mu hugged the backpack tightly and took a step back slowly. "So!" Jun Ping said, "Isn't the prisoner holding 30 million yuan tightly? This morning, the correct time was a few minutes before noon. hand. The prisoner is Qumu Zhuangzo who is in this room right now."
