On the afternoon of the third day after Taeko returned home, a sudden phone call came from the Hatashi Police Department in Tokyo.Bo Yue readers of the Metropolitan Police Department are very familiar with him. He is known as the Devil Police Department and is a celebrity in the search section. Zhizhi picked up the phone, Bo Yue hurriedly greeted him, and then turned to the topic: "I'll talk about the details after we meet. One of the entrepreneurs I know is Tokujiro Fukuda. Something strange happened in his family. I beg you to help him. Mr. Fukuda asked me to call and ask you to go back to Tokyo immediately. The details are difficult to describe in a few words." It’s exhausting, but you will never be disappointed. Even I think that you are better at handling such incidents than the police. All in all, this case is extremely bizarre and intricate, and you have to work hard. I’m really sorry, but I’m still on behalf of Fukuda Please, sir, if it is convenient, please hurry back to Tokyo tonight."

"I'm sorry to bother you to call, but I'm currently on a break." Zhizhi rebuffed in a cold tone, "I haven't recovered from the long journey, and then I ran into the spider man incident, and I'm exhausted. Please Let me rest for a while." "This is really troublesome." The tone of the police department sounded very embarrassed, "If you don't come, Mr. Fukuda will not be the only one who will be disappointed. Actually, I learned about your vacation location from Ms. Taeko Tamamura. She also hopes that you can help Mr Fukuda." "What? Miss Taeko? Is she related to this incident?" Akechi immediately got excited when he heard Taeko's name, and his tone became excited unconsciously.

"The relationship is too big. I forgot to say just now that Mr. Fukuda is the younger brother of her father, Mr. Tamamura Zentaro, that is, her uncle," "Oh, that's how it is. When Ms. Taeko lived here, we got along very well. It turns out that the client is a relative of hers." "Yes, yes, Mr. Fukuda, who is so close to you, entrusted you. How about it, can you come back in time?" "Well, no problem." Zhizhi acted like a child when he saw the wind.But he would not feel embarrassed or try to cover up such a trivial matter, he generously showed that since it was Taeko's commission, he could rush back at any time.

"In terms of time, let me think about it. Uh, there is a train that departs at 2:10 in the afternoon and arrives in Ueno at 7:30, so let's make it so." Mingzhi readily agreed, and the Bo Yue police department couldn't help being a little surprised, but he didn't hide it. Satisfied in my heart, said: "Thank you, Mr. Fukuda must be very happy. I will tell you the time of arrival, and he will send a car to pick you up at the station. Then, please go all the way." He reminded again. As soon as he hung up the phone, Mingzhi packed up nervously and prepared to leave the hotel.Speaking of packing, in fact, I only brought a suitcase for this trip, and it didn't take much effort at all.Pack your pajamas and unwashed shirts into your suitcase, pay for your lodging, and hit the road.So, he took his time on the train.

Nothing special to write about on the way back to Tokyo.Akechi’s heart is full of Taeko, and as the train shakes, Taeko’s bright smile like poppies keeps appearing in front of his eyes, and Taeko’s sweet voice like a nightingale repeatedly appears in his ears.He thought again of the nightmare that Taeko had mentioned on the boat on the last day. "Her premonition may have come true." Thinking of this, Zhizhi was already in high spirits even though he hadn't heard the details of the incident. The train arrived at Ueno Station on time at 7:30. When I walked out of the ticket gate, the driver was already waiting at the exit.Zhizhi's face keeps appearing in newspapers, and it's hard to admit his mistake.

"Mr. Fukuda sent me to meet you." The driver said respectfully with the admiration and respect ordinary people have for contemporary heroes. "Oh, thank you. Where's the car?" Zhizhi responded straightforwardly. "This way." The driver led the way and walked wisely to the parking lot. Right now, Akechi cannot be blamed for his negligence. Only the Boyue police department and Mr. Fukuda know the exact time of his arrival at Ueno Station.Even if it is a god, it is unexpected that the people who come to greet him are all fakes, from people to cars.The car looked as luxurious as the entrepreneur's car, and the chauffeur's assistant was well-dressed.If I have to say something suspicious, I can pick out two things. The two people in front of me are wearing round wide-rimmed glasses, and there is no Futian family crest on the car.If these two characteristics are suspicious, they are indeed suspicious. However, it is also common for drivers to wear round thick-rimmed glasses to prevent dust. As for the family crest of the Futian family, Mingzhi has never seen it, so he has no way of knowing.

However, a detective is still a detective after all. When one foot stepped on the pedal of the car, an alarm sounded in his heart, and he turned his head subconsciously. Unfortunately, it was too late. The assistant stretched out his long arms and dragged him into the car.Caught off guard, Zhizhi didn't even have a chance to resist. "What are you doing!" Zhizhi yelled, and immediately got up and tried to jump out of the car. Unexpectedly, the driver hit him in the heart with a right hook, which is a key move in judo.Of course, these two thieves disguised as drivers must be very skilled.

This incident happened in front of the crowded station, and the night was low at that time. Even if the passers-by heard the wise shouts, they would not stop to take a look because of the strangeness. As if nothing had happened, the car swaggered across the bright road in front of the station and drove towards the spacious alleyway.And our protagonist Akechi Kogoro just fell into a coma and slumped limply on the back seat. Again I must affirm that in this accident Wise was free of any negligence for which he should be blamed.It's just that the gangsters took advantage of the gap and succeeded in getting in ahead of the police, Fukuda, and Akechi Kogoro.

Even so, what a fast, accurate, and ruthless strategy this is.The curtain of crime has not yet risen, and the real battle has not yet started, but they strike first, and before the duel begins, they subdue and kidnap the powerful enemy Akechi Kogoro, who is not sure of victory.It can be seen that they are by no means ordinary petty thieves, and the upcoming case is by no means an ordinary case.Having said that, how did they obtain so much detailed information: the relationship between Akechi Kogoro and this case, when he will get off at Ueno and when the train arrives, the Fukuda family will send a car to meet him.Besides, where did the Futian family's car go?Did those drivers also encounter the same experience as Zhizhi?Ahh, the villain's ability is really not to be underestimated!
