Megure Juzo quickly arrived at the location described by Miwako with his team.
When Megure Juzo saw the man lying by the wall with twisted limbs, he could not help but gasp.
This was indeed a complete incapacitation.
Fortunately, Megure Juzo already knew this was an armed kidnapper.
Facing such an armed kidnapper, using harsh methods was normal. Breaking his limbs was also to prevent him from struggling, which could make the situation even more uncontrollable.
Megure Juzo quickly accepted it.
If it were him, facing an armed kidnapper, pulling out his gun might have been his choice. It was just that Miwako had sufficient combat skills to use such methods instead of directly drawing her gun.
As for whether this kidnapper with broken limbs had human rights, that was naturally not something he needed to consider.
An armed kidnapper still needed the police to treat him politely? What a joke.
"Takagi, go with the rescue personnel and have the kidnapper sent to the hospital for treatment first."
"Yes!"
Because Miwako had mentioned the broken limbs and crushed throat over the phone earlier, Megure Juzo had already called for an ambulance on the way. Now, two ambulances were following behind the police vehicles.
As he was speaking, the doctors and nurses from behind had already caught up.
"So severe."
The emergency doctor examined the man on the ground, and even he, accustomed to major scenes, felt the man's condition was dire.
The distortion in his limbs was quite severe, and his throat was crushed, making breathing extremely difficult.
However, after a preliminary examination, it was confirmed that the man was not dead, and his breathing had not stopped despite the crushed throat. It was just that the strength of his breathing was weakening, and if it continued, he would likely die soon.
"Stretcher, quick. Prepare the ventilator."
The stretcher arrived quickly, and with the help of other doctors, the man was finally placed on it. Takagi Wataru left with the ambulance.
After all, Goshi Miyahara was a kidnapper, and even if his current condition meant he would not escape on his own, such a person could not just be sent to the hospital unattended.
Inspector Megure Juzo quickly headed to the warehouse on the second floor.
The main door outside had already been kicked open. Looking at the forcefully torn-off parts on the doorframe, Megure Juzo knew what that door had endured.
Was Miwako getting more and more energetic lately?
He was not afraid, but he wondered if this was a good thing.
Entering the room, he saw the two kidnapped celebrities standing there, with some bruises on their faces, but no other significant issues.
The kidnapper lying on the ground, however, had major problems.
Just from what was visible, his nose bridge was caved in, there was a depression at his throat, and his limbs were twisted.
If the opponents were armed thugs, Megure Juzo found it acceptable.
So he went to Miwako first and quietly reminded her:
"Officer Sato, do not be so heavy-handed with other criminals."
Such brutal methods could not be used on ordinary criminals, otherwise the higher-ups would have too many objections.
"Don't worry, Inspector Megure."
"I was heavy-handed this time because they had guns."
Saying that, Miwako pulled out two revolvers from her person.
"Revolvers, and fully loaded ones. If I had not been a bit heavy-handed, they would have had a chance to pull out their guns."
"So, this time I was a bit heavy-handed."
Megure Juzo naturally understood. It was already impressive that she could subdue two armed kidnappers without using a handgun.
He was undoubtedly proud of Miwako.
He had watched her grow up and had seen her gradually become one of the proud detectives of Investigative Division One. He was the happiest person.
Such matters, Megure Juzo simply handled with care.
Then he came before the two kidnapped celebrities.
"Takayama, Nagano, we will need to trouble you to come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a statement later."
"Of course, no problem, but Officer, can we go after our concert ends?"
"Oh, that is certainly no problem."
Megure Juzo also knew the two kidnapped celebrities were in the middle of a concert.
Being kidnapped was not their fault. Besides, cooperating with the police also needed to consider the victims' situation.
Furthermore, the two kidnappers needed to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. This case would require these two to recover before further work could be done, so there was even less need to complete all the statements today.
"Since you want to return to continue the concert, then after it ends, would it still be convenient? The statement might take some time, but it is best if some things can be resolved on the same day."
Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina exchanged glances, both feeling that this matter indeed needed to be resolved today.
It was best to complete the statement today. Today was a huge shock for them. Even now, they did not know why they were kidnapped, and this needed to be clarified.
"Of course."
Takayama Minami agreed directly.
"Sometimes Nagano Shiina and I also work quite late due to composing, so even if the statement is a bit late, it is no problem. However, Officer, we also need to understand why we were kidnapped."
"That is natural."
Victims naturally have the right to know why they were targeted, and Megure Juzo did not refuse.
In fact, he was also a bit confused about why these two were kidnapped, and he needed Miwako to explain it to him in detail.
Suddenly, Megure Juzo remembered Edogawa Conan, who had delivered the bag to the kidnappers in place of Yoshida Ayumi earlier.
"Chiba, go and ascertain the location of that child, Conan."
"That child delivered the item to the kidnappers in place of Ayumi. The kidnappers' contact with that child was through a public phone booth by the roadside. Chiba, drive along the roadside following the public phone booths."
"Also, the disappearance of Ayumi and the other children is probably related to Conan. After finding Conan, ask him about the whereabouts of those children."
"Yes!"
Chiba Kazunobu immediately straightened up.
"Furthermore, after finding those children, quickly contact their parents. It is already getting late, so they do not have to go looking for them in a panic."
(To be continued.)
