kidnapping game 东野圭吾 7816Words 2018-03-22
Sincerely, Mr. Katsutoshi Katsuragi: Your daughter is in our hands, if we want her to return home safely.Please follow our request.First, prepare 100 million yuan in cash. It goes without saying that you also know that please do not contact third parties including the police.If it cannot be complied with.We will suspend the transaction immediately.Also, at present your daughter has not suffered any physical harm, and it will all depend on your performance in the future.However, my gentlemanly demeanor is also limited.I think, for the sake of both parties, please decide as soon as possible.

The chair creaked and turned half a circle, and I turned to face Juri. "Well, how much is the ransom?" After looking at the computer screen, she sat down on the bed. "Look at this letter, you plan to ask for more than 100 million." I smiled at her. "Of course, who do you think I kidnapped? It's the daughter of the vice president of Rixing Automobile who dominates the world! What can you do if you ask for less than 100 million?" "Do you think you'd pay that much for a concubine's child?" "You don't know what you said, do you?"

I swivel my chair back again and tap my fingers on the keyboard.Fill in the number "three" in the blank of "100 million". "Three hundred million yuan!? Why?" "There is no special basis, the point is to disturb..." I reached for the beer, and then said: "Maybe there will be some effect to make them guess whether there are three prisoners. Perhaps 300 million yuan is not a big sum. , but if you want one billion or two billion, I don’t think your father can raise that much money right away.” "Three hundred million yuan... Divide it between two people, and one person will have 150 million yuan!"

"I only need 10% and 30 million. You are the one who needs the money!?" "Don't you need money?" "Of course. But that's not what this game is about." I operated the mouse in my hand, and a 3D color stereoscopic image appeared on the screen, with the title "AUTO-MOBILE PARK" written on it. "what is that?" "This is the brainchild of me over the past few months. If it hadn't been cut in the middle by an ignorant person, this dream world would have come true." I clicked the mouse, and the door in the three-dimensional image opened, and a vast car world appeared in front of me.Enter to the right to see the Genesis of the car.Collect everything from steam-engined cars to treasures coveted by vintage car fans.

"Like a museum!" "This is not just a museum. If the museum would definitely write such a warning sign: Please pay attention to all guests, please do not touch the exhibits, but there will be no rustic signs in the car park. Visitors can go up and test cars, From manual cars to Toyota's 2000GT and F1, any type of car can be tested, and no driver's license is required." "What's the meaning?" "There will be several virtual machines in each area. Using this machine, you can simulate driving the car you expect. Simply put, it is like a driving video game in an amusement park. Depending on the type of car, the scenery presented on the screen will also change. In other words, if you drive a Toyota 2000GT, you will feel like you are driving in the ancient and beautiful scenery of Showa Japan.”

"Yeah, it's very interesting!" Shuli just admired it simply, if only her father could be as simple as her. "The audience can get in touch with the history of automobiles and get to know modern automobiles in sequence. After passing this area, although they can directly enter the imaginary future automobile world area, I prepared a special display corner before that. In fact, this It is the focus of the whole plan. The new car of Sunstar Motors is hidden in this display corner. However, there is also a virtual machine here, which allows guests to experience the comfort of driving the new car early. The virtual machine here is very dazzling. Different from the machines placed in other areas, it is a physical car shipped by the Sunstar Motor Development Department. Let the guests actually sit in the car. In addition to confirming the performance of the new car, it also plays the image advertisement and music of the new car, and there is a technical commentator Explain the advantages of the new car. When walking out of this special display corner, each guest will have a new car introduction goal in his hand, and will also consider how to use the installment payment to purchase the car."

After I finished speaking in one breath, Juli looked at me frequently and closed his mouth intently, then sighed.Then I switched the screen back to the threatening letter. "I'll say it again, if it weren't for Katsuragi Katsutoshi's paranoia, everything I said now would have come true. Sunstar Motors' new car sales will be very successful, and the reputation of the cyber project will spread far and wide. Everyone should be happy when." "That is to say, you are angry because your plan was rejected, so you want to play this kidnapping plan?" "It would be a pity if you use revenge to explain it. As I said at the beginning, this is a game. I challenge your father to this game. I want to compete with him to see who is the master of the game." .”

"But my dad doesn't know it's a game, it's so unfair." "No such thing. Katsuragi Katsutoshi will not just leave this matter to the police. He will definitely use his resourcefulness to cast a net. Of course he will not know that the opponent is not me, but he will definitely participate in this It’s a game. The real confrontation will start from that time.” I re-read the threatening letter. In the last part, "Your daughter has not been physically harmed in any way", I have been deliberating over the choice of words for a long time.The reason for writing this is because Juli asked if she would be raped by the prisoner.

It was in the Mood for Love, and the attractive girl was put under house arrest, and it was taken for granted that the prisoner would covet her.The prisoners I set up are two men.In order to defeat the idea of ​​the hostages escaping, I have to assume that otherwise one or both of the men may commit rape, which is more reasonable. But I still can't get excited about the setting of the prisoner's violation of Shuli.Of course, this kind of thing won't happen in reality, and I don't have that kind of hobby, and if I want to set it up like this, I have to make her lie.After the case is over—of course, if the crime is successful, the police will definitely ask her many questions; did the prisoner do something to you?In other words, did you commit any violence against you?Definitely will ask.What is the best way for her to answer?How would a hostage who was actually raped react?This is indeed somewhat difficult.If the answer is vague, just letting the police see the tearful and pitiful expression may make the criminal police realize that something happened.But the real question is, is Shuli's acting skills up to that level?My judgment is: it cannot be expected, it cannot escape the eyes of the criminal police.

Prisoners don't commit rape—I've come to that conclusion.So why wouldn't they take that approach?Is it self-control?This argument lacks convincing.The method I thought of could be said to be a bitter trick. I reset the prisoners to be in pairs, one of whom is a woman.These two people are either lovers or couples.When Juli was kidnapped, it was the woman who drove the car. In this way, no matter what the situation was, it was unlikely that the man would assault Juli while the woman was not paying attention. The phrase "your daughter has not suffered any physical harm" in the letter is just to imply that there will be rape, but in fact the prisoner who did not have this intention just implied this meaning in it.After the case is over, when it is learned from Shuli that one of them is a woman, the criminal police will also pat their knees and suddenly realize.

"Come on, the next question is how to send this threatening letter?" I folded my hands on my chest and leaned against the back of the chair. "Do you know your father's email address?" "I don't know." Shuli shook his head bluntly. "What about the phone number?" For this question, she just spread her hands at me. "Then you don't know anything!?" "Then why don't you go to the vicinity of Shibuya and ask girls my age, do you remember your father's e-mail and mobile phone number? Ask ten people, if one person can answer, I will kneel down with you!" "I didn't want you to kneel with me." I thought about it, maybe so.Most people just input other people's phone numbers into their mobile phones, and they remember less and less, and I am the same way.Besides, there is nothing to call father. It is not difficult to find Katsuragi Katsutoshi's e-mail and mobile phone number, just ask the relevant personnel of the company, but in this case, you must report your name. "Can't you make a phone call?" Shuli asked me. "Aren't the prisoners in serials or movies like kidnapping all talking on the phone?" "That would be very dangerous. Needless to say, anti-detection, the prisoner's voice, voiceprint, speech characteristics, and background sounds are all important clues for the police to handle the case. If this is done, the perfect kidnapping will become a dream within a dream gone." "However, what if it's the first call? I don't think the police have acted yet. And I don't have an answering machine at home." "It's been 24 hours since you ran away from home. You should consider reporting the crime to the police, and the police will start to have all kinds of suspicions. An ordinary family might not care so much, but anyway, this is Gecheng's family What about her daughter! Maybe she will also think about kidnapping, there should be several investigators waiting for the prisoner to call." "Will it really come to this point?" Shuli said, tilting her head. "Maybe not, maybe. I'm not an optimist, and I wouldn't bet on half-and-half." I looked at the computer screen and thought it would be great if I could send this threatening letter by e-mail, but it doesn't seem to be possible. "Do you have a fax machine at home?" "Yes, it's in Dad's study. Do you want to use a fax?" "This is the most trouble-free way. Then, how do you get a response from the other party? Do you have any method?" I thought she would not give any answer anyway and asked her, but she looked like she was starting to think seriously. "You said at the beginning that you planned to send it by e-mail, so what account do you want to use to send it? It's impossible to use your usual account!?" "Of course! There is no such thing as an idiot who writes his account number directly when sending a threatening letter. You can display a fake account number on the mailing column, but for safety's sake, consider using a new account number." "It's just that there is no way to find out the meaning of the differential account number?" "Yes. There are two options to consider. One is free e-mail service." For example, with free e-mail services such as Hotmail, e-mails can be obtained without specifying the identity and address. It is impossible for the police to ascertain the correct identity from the e-mail. "And one more?" "Use your e-mail to send it." I pointed to her chest and said. "mine?" "Do you have an e-mail?" "I still remember the mailbox address, but I forgot the password!" "If this is the case, get a new one. Say you have a credit card. If you have a card, you can sign up immediately." "Hmm..." Shuli looked thinking about something, and then said, "There is one thing to correct." "what?" "I said it's fake to have a card, but I have some pocket money." "I wondered if you really had a card. Why did you lie?" "I just don't want you to see it. If you know that I have no money, it's like letting you see my weakness." Shuli said a lot without any shyness, and stared straight into my face, with a look of indifference. "In this case, there is only one option, and that is free e-mail service." "Is this how you can obtain a mailbox account?" "What else would we do?" "If this is the case, you can write your e-mail address on the threatening letter, and then fax him back to the e-mail address." "Indeed, this is also a method." Her mind is turning quite fast, and my opinion of this girl has changed a little bit. "Isn't that going to work?" "It's not bad, but it's boring! I didn't email the other party. Even if I use an email, I only use it once and never use it again. When sending a new letter, use a new email, that is to say Even if the other party sends a letter, they won’t read it here.” "Very cautious." "Of course! Do you even know what we're going to do?" I picked up the TV remote control, turned on the TV, and a basketball game appeared on the big screen.I kept switching channels, and one of the commercials on a sports program just happened to be broadcast. The CM that reproduced the car yesterday was an advertisement for a sports car called CTP.A popular idol female star driving a car on a cool G is really not a good CM.Maybe Katsuragi Katsutoshi hasn't seen this ad. Facing the computer, I went online and searched to find out the website about Sunstar Automobile CTP.As expected, those car fans created a webpage by themselves, entered one of them, and saw what was there. There was a name of "CTP Fan Club" in it.After clicking in, a red CTP sports car first appeared, which looked like a photo taken by ordinary people. The person who made this website seemed to be a car lover.It reads: "This is an information exchange and resting place for those who love CTP sports cars. Please come and have fun!" There are "New Arrivals", "Maintenance", "My CTP", "Announcement Board" Wait for the project to be on top.This is a good time for anyone to provide information.I clicked twice on the "Announcement Board", and after a while, this article appeared: "People who enjoy (brushing rabbits) Hello everyone, I also told you before that our CPT has finally arrived. Just imagining the thrill of driving it on the high-speed completion road makes people unable to sleep every day!After the first drive, I will report to everyone immediately!As long as nothing happens (laughs). " "A different sound (Mitsuhime) I have been on CPT for two years, and recently I noticed that the thermometer went up. Is it too high?This makes me sweat!Does anyone have the same experience? " "RE: Abnormal sound (Run Tunbei) Ms. Mitsuhime, my car also had the same problem. The CPT model affected the engine cooler to some extent, but the temperature would not be too high.If you're worried, check it out (not recommended). " After ordinary citizens have this toy called the Internet, what has not changed is that childish articles are still circulating everywhere.But having said that, vicious and sinister messages are quite troublesome. Record the URL, and go offline first. I called out the threatening letter I had just written, read it again, and wrote: If you are interested in trading, please enter the URL written below, express your ideas with the name of Shuli on the bulletin board, and we will contact you after confirmation. Website Name: CPT Fan Club URL: http://www.... "How about this?" I looked back at Juli. After reading it a few times, she nodded and said: "So that's the case. In this way, no one will doubt it, and you can confirm the other party's thoughts." "In the past, kidnappers often used the method of publishing newspapers. They published in the missing person notices of the three major newspapers: 'Taro, the problem has been solved, come back soon!' etc., but this must wait until the next day. Now we use the Internet to It can be confirmed immediately, and it can be regarded as a relatively economical way of replying for the victims. The world has become more convenient." I'm powering up the printer and ready to print it out. "Wait a minute!" Juli patted my shoulder. "What's the matter?" "I have a request for the content of the threat letter." "Any dissatisfaction?" "I don't like the word 'your daughter'. I want you to write my name properly. Write it as 'Miss Juli'." I read the article again and shook my head. "No! If you write 'Miss Juli', the letter will not end. There is no problem with 'your daughter'." "Who said that? I'm not his daughter at all!" After finishing speaking, she lowered her head. "I've said it several times. The prisoner doesn't know your background at all. I just think that you are the sweetheart of the Katsuragi family. I don't think there is anything unnatural about using your daughter. On the contrary, if it is written as Ms. Juri That's weird." "I hate writing like that anyway!" I sighed and said: "How about changing to Missy? Is this okay?" But she didn't want to nod her head yet, but said: "I'm Jyuri! Katsuragi Jyuri! I'm neither your daughter nor Missy!" "It's really troublesome..." I said with a headache: "Got it! Then write 'Jyuri Katsuragi', and don't write 'Miss', and don't have honorific titles. That's okay, I won't make any more concessions." Shuli nodded slowly and said, "That's fine." I shrugged and pressed the keyboard to revise the article. I really don't understand what this young girl is thinking. I read the threatening letter again, checked for typos and printed it out, and handed it to Juli after confirming the printed effect. "Just use this letter to fax? Don't you use the fax function on the computer to send it directly?" "For the sake of safety, I don't want them to figure it out in the form of documents on the computer. According to my experience, it takes less time to fax such documents. If there is any trouble, it will be faster to disconnect." In order not to spend too much time on faxing, I neatly cut off the blank space on the letter paper, and then cut it into eight small sheets with scissors. "What are u doing?" "Hey, just watch!" I took out the scotch tape, and pasted the eight small sheets of paper out of order.Then put the messy paper on the fax machine. "You want to fax from here?" Shuli asked in a surprised voice, "Will it not be detected?" "I just pasted it like this because I didn't want to be detected. Assuming that Gecheng's house is guarded by the police, they will see what is passed in, but there is no way to understand the content immediately. When they piece it together like a relay, they know it is The phone should have been disconnected by the time the threat letter was sent." Juli looked straight at me. "This phone has a non-display number contract. If you don't press 186 at the beginning, the phone number will not be displayed on the other party's phone. Alright, then please press the phone number, this fax is handled by yourself send out." "Why should I pass it on?" "Because I want you to understand that we are accomplices. You said you would join my game, but you would still hesitate when you were asked to make a move? Maybe you changed your mind after the threat letter got out. " Well, she pointed to the fax machine. Juli bit her lip lightly, then glared at me.I sat down in a chair and looked at her.Once the dangerous state is triggered, you must prepare a way out for yourself. This is my approach. She let out a breath and said, "Before I send the fax, I want to do one thing first." "Take a shower to cool down your head?" "I want to go home and have a look." "Aha!" I said with a disappointed expression, "I've come to this point and I'm homesick, so it's okay." I pulled back the threatening letter on the fax machine and prepared to tear it up. "Wait a minute, that's not it. I don't want to go back, I just want to take a look outside." "You are still hesitating until now, it is impossible to win like this!" "I said, it's not like this. You don't know the situation!" Shuli waved his hands angrily and said, "I have no intention of escaping from this game at all. I also want to take revenge on this family! I What I want to confirm is whether my father is at home. If he is not at home, there is no point in sending this fax. As I said just now, the fax machine is in my father's room, and no one is allowed to touch it without permission!" "Hmm..." I put the threatening letter back on the fax machine. "Even so, it's not that your father doesn't come home all the time. He will always notice the fax when he gets home." "But then I don't know when it will be, and I hate it. I can't sleep at night if I don't find out whether Dad read the threat letter or not!" I put my index finger into my ear and scratched it.I can understand what the ideal tree said. "Just by looking from the outside, there's no way to know if Mr. Katsuragi has returned home, right?" "Just look at the garage. The car should be there when he comes home." "That's true." I had to nod my head and said, "Is it for both fax and telephone, or..." "It's a special line, and the number is one number behind the phone number." "When the fax passed, did it ring the same as the phone?" Shuli shook his head and said, "It shouldn't make any noise." "Even if Katsuragi has returned home, the threatening letter will be seen tomorrow morning. It's time like this, you should go to sleep." "I also want to confirm one thing. I have been away from home for more than 24 hours. I want to see with my own eyes whether the people in that family still live as if nothing had happened in this situation." "If the lights in the house are bright, it means that everyone is worried about you, and you will be moved, and then stop this plan?" My tone is a little cold. "I just want to see with my own eyes that this kind of thing will never happen. I don't think it will hurt the plan to see what the house looks like before sending the threatening letter." "what do you want to say in the end?" "Maybe we can also see if there are police guards." I snorted and sneered: "Do you think there would be a police car parked in front of the house in these circumstances?" "If there are criminal police around, at least the lights at home will be on, right?" "This..." It makes sense to say so, and I continued, "But it's dangerous. Once a suspicious car stops, it will attract the attention of the police. Also, you have a camera in your home. If you are caught Is it over?" "As long as you pass in front of your house, you won't be suspected." I grunted, crossed my arms, and looked into her face again. "What if I say no?" "If so..." She shrugged. "That can't be helped, just follow your method. But I can't send faxes." "Come here!" I stood up, walked to the window, opened the curtains slightly, and looked at the night scene below. If you want to continue walking, you should stop. If Shuli is still hesitating, then you should stop.But looking at her expression reflected on the glass, it was not a look of fear.The girl showed the air that her life was about to start all over again, and this was also a critical moment to continue playing the game. I looked back at her and said, "You have to put on a disguise." "Disguised?" "Be careful, in case they notice you in the car." She seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence, and nodded with a smile. About forty minutes later, Juli and I sat in the car.I don't use my own car because I am afraid that it will be captured by surveillance photography and leave evidence. In the taxi, Jyuri and I talked about unsuspecting things——soccer and serial dramas.Don't leave a suspicious impression on the taxi driver. Fortunately, the driver doesn't seem to be interested in us.Shuli was wearing a hooded jacket and a denim jacket over it. Both were loose-fitting clothes. Anyway, young people in more exotic outfits were everywhere.I'm wearing a leather jacket.The driver probably felt that he saw a strange couple of men and women who had gone crazy in the middle of the night. The taxi arrived at the residential area of ​​Denenchofu.I explained to the driver how to go on behalf of Juli.As I approached Katsuragi's house, my palms were sweating. We finally saw the mansion ahead on the right, but there was no reason for the taxi to slow down. "Please drive straight ahead." After I finished talking to the driver, Juri pulled up the hood of his jacket to cover his head, and then pulled his jacket tight to the front, pulling his chin back so that his face could not be seen clearly. The speed of the car did not slow down when passing Katsuragi's house.The two of us concentrated our eyesight and observed the condition of the house during the short time that passed. After passing the mansion, the two of us looked at each other.Juli nodded lightly, and I nodded too.It looked like the whole house had been turned off. After that, we found a random place and got off the taxi, and after walking for a while, we hired a taxi.On the way home, neither of them said a word. Back at the apartment, we were once again facing the fax machine. "Anyway, the lights in your house are turned off." I said, "Where's the car?" "I think, if I'm not mistaken, Dad's car seems to be there." "In other words, Katsutoshi Katsuragi returned home and fell asleep, that's all. In this way, there is no police watching." I looked at the fax machine and said, "If you want to send a threatening letter, Only now is the time!" "Is it okay in the morning?" "In the morning, the situation will change again. Once this happens, you will have new anxiety in your heart. If you want to pass it on, do it now. If you miss this opportunity, then this game will be over!" Juli looked at the threatening letter and hesitated.I looked at the clock on the wall, I just want to give her ten minutes, if her consideration exceeds this time, then let it go. The silence lasted for about five minutes. She raised her head and said, "Got it, I'll pass it on." "There's no going back after that!" "You can't back down on the road!" "How about another cup? The cup of promise!" Shuli shook his head and stood in front of the fax machine.After making sure to place the threat letter and set it to speakerphone, slowly approach the number keys with your fingers.
