Chapter 490 Timeline Clue [Bonus chapter for Patron Lost and Lost]
"Akio Tsubame really likes drawing, these should be drawings he made at the Kidnapper's place," Grandpa Tsubame picked up the two drawings, his fingers stroking the Crayon marks. He sighed, and after putting down the drawings, he took out a folded piece of Paper from his Pocket and handed it to Chi Feichei, "This was stuffed into the Mailbox this morning..."
Chi Feichei placed the Threatening Letter on the Coffee Table in front of him and took the Paper.
The Paper still used words cut out from a Newspaper, spelling out an Account at Swiss Fangkebei'er Bank.
Trying to check Customer Information from a Swiss Bank is simply impossible.
Switzerland, as a banking country, relies on the Customer Confidentiality System for its livelihood, strictly maintaining Confidentiality of Customer Information, even international organizations can't do anything about it.
"Grandpa Tsubame, has the Kidnapper made any Phone Calls?"
"Two Phone Calls in total," Grandpa Tsubame said, "One was yesterday around 4 PM, when we received the Threatening Letter. The other party called to say we were not allowed to Report to Police or leak any Rumors, otherwise Akio Tsubame would be in mortal Danger. The other was around 2 PM this afternoon, the other party called to say that the Paper with Account Information was in the Mailbox. If I agreed to pay the Ransom, I should prepare 1 million Japanese Yen in Cash, and he would Call back in an Hour..."
Chi Feichei turned his Head to look at the Clock on the Wall, it was already 3:31 PM.
Moving 1 billion Japanese Yen would be very Troublesome. Since the other party has a Swiss Bank Account, they will definitely Request it to be transferred to the Swiss Bank Account.
This 1 million Japanese Yen, the other party probably won't come to get it. It's just to observe whether the Tsubame Conglomerate has Sincerity and whether they have Reported to Police.
Kenzo Tsubame noticed Chi Feichei's Action and also turned his Head to look at the Clock, "1 million Japanese Yen, I've already had someone prepare it. The other party should be Calling soon."
"Can I answer the Phone Call?" Chi Feichei took out a Voice Recorder from his Pocket, "I brought a Voice Recorder, I can record it by the way, maybe we can find some Clues. You should know, even if we don't Report to Police, we can't place all our hopes on the Hijacker."
After Consideration, Grandpa Tsubame still nodded, "Okay..."
About three minutes later, the ringing of the Landline Phone in the Room rang.
Chi Feichei turned on the Voice Recorder, answered the Phone Call, and then pressed the Speakerphone button.
A Man's voice, mechanically Weird due to a Voice Changer, asked, "Is the Money ready?"
"It's ready, I want to confirm Akio Tsubame's Safety first," Chi Feichei said.
"Who are you?" You could hear that the other party's Emotion was obviously tense.
Grandpa Tsubame was even more nervous than the Kidnapper, staring at the Phone, not daring to breathe loudly.
"The Heir of Shinchi Group, Akio Tsubame usually calls me Older Brother," Chi Feichei continued, "Today I came to visit and found Mr. Yan looking worried. After pressing him, he told me about this matter. Only I and the Person in Charge of the Group's Tokyo Branch know about this. We are at the Yan Residence, no one has Reported to Police, and the Ransom can be given to you. However, only two Drawings are not enough to confirm Akio Tsubame's Situation. These could also be Drawings Akio Tsubame drew before. I want to hear Akio Tsubame speak."
"Okay!" the Man on the other end of the Phone Call said, "Now have someone send 1 million Japanese Yen to the Back Door of Mihuachi Spring Land Park, spread it out on the Ground leading to the Back Door. Only one person is allowed to go, no Reporting to Police, no sending people to follow! Once I see your Sincerity, I will Call back and let you hear the Child's Sound."
"Beep... Beep..."
The Phone Call was hung up.
Chi Feichei picked up the Voice Recorder and turned off the Recording.
Kenzo Tsubame turned his Head to look at Jie Chongji, his Secretary behind him, "Chongji, you take the Money over there."
"Rest assured!" Jie Chongji nodded seriously, picked up a Paper Bag of Money that had been prepared on the Sofa, turned around, and went out the Door.
Chi Feichei looked at the Drawings on the Table, took out his Mobile Phone, and sent an Email to have the Crow in Beika Town set off to Mihuachi Spring Land Park to find someone related to a Clown. Once found, pay attention to Tracking.
On the Drawing, there was a person who looked like a circus Clown, standing next to a Child. The two Seemingly were playing Video Game in front of a Television.
The Drawing was drawn by Akio Tsubame, Kenzo Tsubame should not be mistaken about this. Then this Drawing is very likely Akio Tsubame drawing his History of the past two days.
Playing Video Game with a Clown!
"Hassashi..." Grandpa Tsubame looked at Chi Feichei.
"Don't worry," Chi Feichei put down his Mobile Phone, "Has Akio Tsubame Said Before, if he has Seen a Clown in other Places?"
Kenzo Tsubame thought for a moment, "A few days ago, he Seemingly Said that there was a Clown outside the Kindergarten giving Balloons to the Children."
Chi Feichei pondered for a moment, looked at Kenzo Tsubame, and said in a low voice, "Just now, there were Rumors of Wind and the Sound of Leaves on the Phone Call, the Kidnapper should have already arrived in the Vicinity of Mihuachi Spring Land Park. And he Said that after confirming our Sincerity, he would let us hear Akio Tsubame's Sound, indicating that Akio Tsubame is not by his side right now. In addition, he didn't mention words like 'we', only Said 'I', the Kidnapper is very likely only one person. Now there are three Choices. First, I take a detour to go over and Grab him, forcing him to tell Akio Tsubame's Location. Second, place our hopes on the Kidnapper, spend Money to avoid Disaster, hoping that he will release Akio Tsubame after getting the Money. Third, while locking down the Kidnapper's Location and having people go Tracking, we also think about where Akio Tsubame might be held, and rescue him directly after figuring out the Situation. What do you think?"
Kenzo Tsubame closed his Eyes, "The first Choice won't work, I dare not gamble..."
The second Choice seems safe, but it's not impossible for the Kidnapper to tear up the ticket directly after getting the Money.
The third Choice looks good, but if Tracking the Hijacker is discovered, will Akio Tsubame be in Danger? And how will they find Akio Tsubame's Location?
Every Choice has Risk.
Chi Feichei did not force it, looked at the Drawings on the Table, pointed to the Weird Pattern in the corner of the Paper Slip, "Last time Akio Tsubame showed me a Drawing, the Place where he left his signature Seemingly was Tokyo Tower. Why is it this Pattern this time?"
"Akio Tsubame will take the most eye-catching building around him when he draws as his signature," Kenzo Tsubame explained.
Da Shan Mi leaned closer to look, "In other words, Young Master Akio Tsubame is near this building, but what building is this? Tokyo Seemingly doesn't have this kind of Weird building, right?"
The Pattern on the Drawing is indeed very Weird, like an Alien with a big One Eye growing on its belly.
"The World in a Child's Eyes is originally strange and varied, not quite the same as ordinary people," Chi Feichei looked at the building Pattern, thought for a moment, but still had no Clue.
Hissashi rested his Head on Chi Feichei's collar, curiously poked his Head out to look. The Snake Tongue he was flicking paused for a moment before retracting into his mouth, "Huh? Master, I Seemingly have Seen this building."
Chi Feichei looked down at Hissashi's protruding Head, calmly stood up, and said to Grandpa Tsubame, "Grandpa Tsubame, I'll go buy a Map to take a look, maybe I can remember where there is this kind of building."
"Go ahead," Grandpa Tsubame sighed, "I'm really Sorry to make you worry and anxious."
"It's okay," Chi Feichei turned his Head to Da Shan Mi and said, "Oyama, you stay here and Keep Company with Grandpa Tsubame. Lend me your Car to drive for a bit."
He didn't drive today, he came in Da Shan Mi's Car.
"Okay, I'll stay here and Keep Company with the Old Master." Da Shan Mi handed the Car Key to Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei didn't say anything more, took the Car Key, went out the Door and got in the Car directly. After starting the Car and driving out of the Main Gate, he asked in a low voice, "Hissashi, where have you Seen this Pattern?"
Hissashi slipped out from under Chi Feichei's Clothes and ran to the Passenger Seat, "Beihu Town, 1st District. It was the day Master and Takatori went to see the new Underground Training Ground. The House wasn't built yet, so we went to the Vicinity to wander around a few times and understand the Terrain. It was at that Time..."
Chi Feichei recalled, Hissashi has been with him all along. Hissashi said he saw it, so he should have an Impression too...
"That Signal Tower?"
"So that's a Signal Tower," Hissashi said, "The Eyes on the belly of the Alien that Akio Tsubame drew is the Clock hanging in the middle of the Tower."
"Mm."
Chi Feichei drove the Car towards Beihu Town, 1st District. He stopped the Car halfway, went to a Convenience Store on the side of the road to buy a Map of Beihu Town, and also bought an Oil-based Pen. He sat in the Car to organize his Clues.
Akio Tsubame saw a Clown at the Kindergarten a few days ago, and yesterday he was Kidnapped after going to the Kindergarten.
Because this is his only Grandson, Kenzo Tsubame would always have someone send Akio Tsubame to the Entrance of the Kindergarten every time.
Then, the Kidnapper's entire Action should be:
Previously, he disguised himself as a Clown to approach Akio Tsubame, making Akio Tsubame think 'the Clown is a good person'.
Yesterday morning around 9 AM, Akio Tsubame was sent to the Kindergarten. After the Driver drove away, he saw a Clown he knew calling him, and left the Kindergarten again.
The Clown lured Akio Tsubame to leave with him, using Video Game that Children like as a Method. This point is also shown in Akio Tsubame's Drawing, that Clown played Video Game with Akio Tsubame.
In order not to be discovered and to leave the Kindergarten as soon as possible, the Kidnapper should have a Car.
From 9:30 AM to around 12 PM, the Clown took Akio Tsubame to a hidden Place. In order to coax Akio Tsubame, he should have played Video Game with Akio Tsubame.
Afterwards, Akio Tsubame should have proposed wanting to draw. The Clown couldn't have thought of preparing Crayon and Paper beforehand. And at noon, the two of them needed to eat, so the Clown went to the Convenience Store to buy Food and also bought Crayon and Paper for Akio Tsubame by the way.
Eating, watching Akio Tsubame draw...
By 4 PM... No, when the other party made the Phone Call, they obviously didn't know him, and thought he was a Police Officer, indicating that they didn't know his and Da Shan Mi's Car had entered the Yan Residence.
In other words, the Place where the Kidnapper is located is not in the Vicinity of the Yan Residence, and they can't observe the Situation at the Yan Residence either. Then, before sending the Letter to the Yan Residence yesterday, the Kidnapper should have observed the Yan Residence for a while.
Around 3:30 PM, he stuffed the Letter into the Mailbox. After arriving at a safe Place, while making the Phone Call, he confirmed that the Yan Residence had taken the Letter back. And the time to arrive at the Yan Residence should be earlier, at the latest it must be 3 PM.
Akio Tsubame drawing two Drawings, and it's a Child drawing seriously, it will take at least an Hour. The Kidnapper had to wait for Akio Tsubame to finish drawing together, and then send the Drawings to the Yan Residence...
The other party is only one person, we can analyze the Location Information through the Activity Time.
Child's eating Time...
Time to go to the Convenience Store in the Vicinity...
Yesterday morning 9 AM, yesterday noon, yesterday afternoon 3 PM, yesterday afternoon 4 PM, today afternoon 2 PM...
That Place is about a 40-minute driving distance from the Yan Residence.
Chi Feichei drew a Circle on the Map, with the Yan Residence as the center point, and circled all the Places that could be reached by Car in about 40 minutes. Then he found that Signal Tower, drew a Circle, and circled the Places where the Signal Tower could be Seen.
The Clock in the center of that Signal Tower is not hung in the center, but on one side. In other words, there is only one Direction that can make the Clock look exactly in the middle of the Signal Tower.
Chi Feichei also drew two Parallel Lines on the two Circles of the Signal Tower and the Yan Residence.
In addition, the Crayon Lines used in the Drawing, whether it's the Texture it looks like or the Feeling when you touch it, are not something that can be drawn with inferior drawing pens. It seems that Akio Tsubame is quite demanding.
Convenience Stores don't sell this kind of Crayon. If you don't go to a Specialty Store to buy it, at least it has to be a larger Stationery Store...
Let's sort out the Time again. Excluding the Time for eating, waiting for Akio Tsubame to draw, going out, and observing the Situation Outside the Door, the Time for the other party to buy Bento, buy Crayon and Paper is about an Hour.
The Locations of these Bento Shops, Convenience Stores, Stationery Stores, Crayon Specialty Stores...
Chi Feichei silently drew two Routes on the Map.
If he went to buy by Car, Time would be sufficient, and there would be more Choices...
Chi Feichei silently drew six more Routes on the Map.
We also have to Consider one point, which is what Situation the Kidnapper encountered on the Road that delayed Time.
Chi Feichei drew two more Routes on the Map again.
Excluding some possibilities, in order to avoid any Accidents, being discovered, or delaying Time, the Kidnapper, it seems, also didn't tie up Akio Tsubame. The Kidnapper would probably also worry that if he didn't return for a long Time, Akio Tsubame would secretly run away. Therefore, he wouldn't choose very Traffic Jammed Roads.
Exclude those Routes that are prone to Traffic Jam...
At the Point where the two Circles, two Parallel Lines, and one of the Routes overlap, it was circled again with an Oil-based Pen...
Found it.
