Chapter 4 Chapter Four: The Kidnapped "Lifeblood"

A week after Yosuke's lifeblood money was stolen, he had a regular meal in the evening and returned from the public cafeteria he frequented.On the way, I found a strange poster on a utility pole by the side of the road. The words were printed next to the color photo of the cat.Looking closer, the content is as follows: "Peru the beloved cat, male, three years old, breed of white Persian cat, gold and silver eyes, tame. The current whereabouts are unknown. Please let me know. There will be rewards. Telephone XXX-XXXX. " Yosuke was secretly surprised while reading.Color photos of cats and inspirations in classical Chinese are printed on high-grade paper.Paper and printing costs alone cost a lot.The remuneration was not indicated, but judging from the look of the search, it must be quite a lot.The cat of a rich family lives a more dignified life than ordinary people.

Yosuke walked away from the telephone pole and suddenly froze in the middle of the road.The people behind almost bumped into him, and he dodged in a hurry. He didn't mind pedestrians staring at him, but Yosuke just stood in the middle of the road in a daze.The car coming from behind honked its horn, and he came back to his senses. Yosuke came up with a way to get back 500,000.People who keep pets love their pets like family members. Pets are actually family members. By the way, kidnap pets from those people for ransom.Threatening them to kill their pets if they call the police might just hand over the money obediently.

Yosuke doesn't want more.Just get back the stolen half a million.Aiming at the rich, half a million is not a big sum, just pay as you say. Yang Jie was inspired by the posters on the wire and was very excited.The more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea. To be prudent, he bought legal books and studied them.The victim referred to in the crime of kidnapping is a human being.Article 224 of the Criminal Law stipulates the criminal act of kidnapping a minor, and Article 225 of the Criminal Law stipulates the criminal act of kidnapping other "persons" for the purpose of "profit, obscenity, and marriage."There is no doubt that both have people as their objects.

Kidnapping animals, in case of being caught, does not constitute the crime of kidnapping.This made Yosuke feel confident and relieved. Kidnapping animals that are equal to humans does not constitute the crime of kidnapping.OK, let's do it!Yosuke made up his mind. The next step is to find a target.Of course, it would be meaningless for the owner of the pet to be a pauper like Yosuke.He must be able to easily come up with five hundred thousand.After Yosuke came up with the "Pet Kidnapping Plan", he took a leave of absence and wandered around high-end residential areas in Tokyo, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

However, things are not as easy as imagined.There are stray cats and dogs roaming the streets.Pets that can be demanded for ransom are safely protected in the depths of the mansion compound, not even a shadow can be seen. Even if you see it occasionally, there are owners following closely.Yosuke, who had high hopes for this, was extremely frustrated. "By the way, why do you really need to kidnap it?" Disappointed, Yosuke came up with another trick.Call the family who was looking for the cat, falsely claim that his cat is under his "protection", and then demand a ransom.For them, honorarium and ransom are the same thing.The problem depends on the original price tag of the other party.However, to scare them that the cat's life is in danger, 500,000 should be able to agree.

Yosuke jumped into action immediately, calling the owner of the cat on the telephone pole.The other party is at home. "It's about Peru in your house..." "Ah, what's wrong with Peru?" Yosuke heard a middle-aged woman's voice. Asked what happened when the whereabouts were unknown, Yosuke was puzzled, so he had no choice but to continue: "I found it, and I will take care of it for you, but..." The other party interrupted him and said, "Bite, that's strange. Peru has found it and has come home. You must have misidentified the person, no, you misidentified the cat. Thank you for your kindness."

Yosuke's tense mood suddenly relaxed, and the fat that was about to reach his mouth slipped off again. Yosuke was walking dejectedly, when suddenly something tripped his feet.Looking closely, a poodle that looks like a mess is playing around with him.Maybe it's not natural by nature, so Jiao Didi yelled while observing Yosuke's expression.The coat color is shiny, and it can be seen that the breeding is very careful. "Boss, you're rude!" A young girl's voice came up from behind.She has long hair, delicate features, and a yellow shirt and red skirt that suits her very well. At first glance, she looks like a female college student with a dog leash in her hand.

"I'm sorry, Boss is too annoying. There's nothing I can do. I'm always locked up at home, and I'm crazy when I spill it." The girl met Yosuke's eyes, lowered her head slightly, and smiled. A gust of wind blew by, lifting her bangs, revealing her beautiful forehead.The hazy outline that was originally covered under the hair became clearer, showing an intelligent expression.The clear eyes were slender and long, and when she smiled, she turned into a gentle and innocent girl's face. Yosuke was at a loss, and nodded awkwardly in return.Just as he was looking for words, the girl picked up the puppy from Yosuke's feet and walked away.When she got closer, Yosuke smelled a fragrance.Not a common perfume smell, but an elegant aftertaste from the upper class.

Yosuke watched her disappear into the corner with his mouth half-opened, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Wasn't the poodle just now the perfect "hostage" that one could wish for!"Canine quality" to be exact.Judging from the girl's appearance and manner, the family who kept the dog must be quite rich.Moreover, taking the dog for a walk is casual, without a leash, and the puppy does not recognize its birth, which is very suitable for kidnapping. Yosuke then began to follow the girl.She walked into a particularly grand mansion in a high-end residential area.As expected.

Yosuke stepped forward to look at the surname on the house number as if nothing had happened.The three characters "Ikutame" are engraved on the marble doorplate. Granite gateposts and courtyard walls made of Dagu stone.The courtyard is very open, and through the garden trees, the thick roof ridge of the main house can be seen faintly.Definitely a celebrity home. Yosuke thought to himself, living in such a mansion, the owner of the "dog quality" is of course fine. It is difficult to kidnap pets, and the possibility is very slim. Or simply change the target to the girl just now.However, the kidnappers will have to overturn the whole plan and start over.

Since then, Yosuke ran to the gate of this house whenever he had the opportunity.The door is always tightly closed, so you can't feel the breath of life inside, and of course you can't see the girl and the puppy. Another week later, Yosuke passed by the front of the mansion, and there happened to be a black chartered car parked in front of the door, and someone came out of the house. A decent gentleman in his fifties, escorted by a middle-aged lady-like woman and an elderly maid, got into the car.A young man with the appearance of a secretary sat in the assistant's seat with a black leather bag between his hands. The two women saw him off respectfully, and the car started.Not the girl from last time. Unknowingly, Yosuke ignored the puppy and began to follow the girl's whereabouts.As soon as the car drove away, the gate was closed.The owner of the house just appeared and disappeared in the mansion, and then isolated from the world. Yosuke was about to leave, but felt strange under his feet. "Boss, when did you come?" Yosuke thought he was in a dream.The poodle from last time was running around at his feet.It must have slipped out through the crack of the door when the master opened it just now.It seems to remember Yosuke. Yosuke looked around, and it didn't look like there were family members chasing after him, and there were no pedestrians.In the afternoon in the high-end residential area, it was as quiet as no man's land. He picked up Boss.I thought I would encounter resistance, but unexpectedly it sat obediently in my arms. Yosuke returns to his apartment with the poodle in his arms.No one seemed to be paying attention on the road. The puppy looked curiously at Yosuke's room.It lived so well in a mansion that such a lone room with a view seemed rare. "You're hungry. Come, eat some of this." Yosuke gave it the leftovers from the morning mixed with salt water herring, and the puppy just sniffed it, then suddenly turned his face away. That expression seemed to say, can this kind of broken thing be eaten? "Understood, you are the old man. I can buy you some dog food that suits your taste." However, he doesn't even look at the canned dog food and dry food he bought.After such a toss, he might be really hungry and start to grind his nose. In the end, Yosuke fed it the stewed beef and vegetables, and then he ate it happily. "You are quite extravagant, after all, you are a grand master." Surprised, Yosuke took the dog's leftovers as his own dinner.For him, this is an exceptional meal.Beef is never served in public canteen meals. "Anyway, this uncle dog is worth half a million yuan. I have to take good care of him." Because of sharing the beef together, Puppy deepened his affection for Yosuke and didn't want to go home. Yosuke let the puppy spend the night in his room, and threw a threatening letter into the owner's house the next day. "Boss in the house is with me. If you want it to go back safely, take out half a million. If you call the police, the puppy's life will be lost. If you agree to my request, put a white handkerchief at the door. Wait for instructions on where to pay. " The effect of the threatening letter was immediate.Yosuke confirmed the white handkerchief at the door, and immediately dialed the number of Ikutame's house, the number was found in the telephone directory.It sounded like a lady's voice on the phone. "I'll take care of Boss. Let me tell you where to pay. Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, ask your lady to go to the anti-clockwise platform of the Yamanote Line at Shinjuku Station. Pack 500,000 yen in a hiking bag. Take the first train and enter the station." On the tram, get on the front car, put your backpack on the front luggage rack on the right side of the direction of travel, and get off at Yoyogi. The money will be returned to the dog after one hour. The cashier was arrested, don’t blame me for being rude to the dog You're welcome. Miss must come alone." Yosuke Guzi finished speaking and hung up the phone. "Okay, it depends on tomorrow, success or failure depends on it." Yosuke said to himself.This is the first real contest after coming to Tokyo.In the past, Yosuke was defeated by Yosuke after several hard-fought battles with his opponent in Tokyo.The opponent is too strong, and he is weak. This time is different.I have the upper hand, and I have the trump card in my hand.But he is not fully sure about this contest.Now that the time and place of payment has been informed, the opponent may also set up an ambush. However, if Yosuke is arrested before the puppy is returned, the dog will die.For the dog owner, the price is half a million.Living in such a mansion, five hundred thousand should be just a trivial amount.They must have taken great pains to avoid police involvement and not put the dog in danger in order to catch the kidnapper. Yosuke only bet 500,000, not 5 million 50 million.For both parties, the price tag is 500,000 yuan. At ten o'clock the next morning, Yosuke was standing on the platform of Line 8 at Shinjuku Station.The rush hour has passed, and the passengers on the platform are calmer. Yosuke recognized the girl on the platform of Line 8, where she was waiting for the train in the direction of Yoyogi. She was carrying an Adidas bag and wearing a thin pink dress.Look around, it doesn't look like there are bodyguards and ambushes.Even if there is, it won't be too obvious. Just waited for a while and the tram came.The girl got on the front car without hesitation.Yosuke got into the car through the rear door of the same car.Looking at the girl again, she followed the instructions and put the bag on the front luggage rack on the right side of the direction of travel. The train arrived at Yoyogi Station.The girl glanced into the car and got out of the car.The tram moved, leaving her on the platform. Yosuke slowly moved under the luggage rack where the bag was placed.No one paid attention to him.At last he came under the luggage rack.The train arrived in Harajuku.He is calm.The train leaves Harajuku and arrives in Shibuya.Almost all the original passengers got off here.A new group of passengers got on the bus, the departure whistle sounded, and the doors were about to close. At that moment, Yosuke grabbed the bag from the luggage rack and jumped out of the car.He was the last passenger to get off. He ran forward without looking back, rushed into a taxi in front of the station, and said the name of a department store in Shinjuku.There was no sign of stalking behind. After Yosuke arrived at the department store in Shinjuku, he took the elevator up and down a few times, and it was time to shake off his tail. To be on the safe side, he changed cars several times and returned to the apartment, locked the door and opened his backpack. "Great!" Yosuke couldn't help cheering.There were exactly fifty ten-thousand-yen bills in the backpack, with a letter in the middle. "The money was delivered as required. Please return it to Boss as promised. Please." Yosuke put his nose close to the letter paper and smelled it, and the paper gave off a girly and elegant fragrance. "Repay you, of course." Yosuke said happily.This was the first time he felt the intoxication of victory after coming to Tokyo.Even though they had lost consecutive battles, Tokyo finally got a taste of it.The 500,000 not only got back what belonged to him, but also his spoils. If you are good at using your brains, an opponent as huge as a monster like Tokyo can also be defeated. Yes, I will do that from now on.Pick that girl as your next target.Of course, the old tricks cannot be repeated.Gotta get close to her and capture her heart.She was attractive enough in person, her dowry was even more attractive. In short, she is the daughter of that mansion.Even if she didn't check, she knew that her father was definitely not someone who would take nothing for granted.If you get the girl, needless to say the dowry, you can also get the honor of your father-in-law. "Let's play your wishful thinking." Yosuke smiled wryly, laughing at himself for being overwhelmed with 500,000 as soon as he got it, and his mind was full of wild thoughts.Boss barked from the side. "You are so lucky to be by such a beautiful and gentle master. I am you." Yosuke always envied the puppy.He decided to return the puppy that night.When I got to the corner where Ikutame's house could be seen, I found the side door of the yard was open, which meant that I could put the dog back there. "Okay, goodbye, I wish you happiness. Don't be fooled by human traffickers and dog thieves. Not everyone is as kind as I am." Yosuke let the dog go by nagging casually.The puppy walked into the owner's house alone with broken steps.
