"Miss Hanai." Jiang Xia handed over a business card and asked her, "Did you see the scene where Takei was kidnapped?"
The female secretary's face turned pale: "It doesn't count at the scene. Miss Naoko and I made an appointment to go to the cinema that day, but I waited at the entrance of the cinema for a long time and couldn't wait for her. I thought she had remembered the time wrong, and she sent
I sent a message to urge you, but she never responded.”
Kinoshita Yoko held her notebook and sat next to Jiang Xia, taking notes carefully. She looked more like a secretary than this real secretary.
She thought about the police officers who were disgusted by Katsuhiko Takei, and thought thoughtfully: "Then you called the police?"
But the female secretary shook her head: "It was the gangster who called me using Naoko's cell phone, and I found out about it. The kidnapper told me not to call the police, so I immediately came back to the president, who decisively called the police, and then...
…”
Then the police intervened, and the hostages sank into the water with the kidnappers, most likely drowning.
The female secretary burst into tears and cried bitterly: "I wish I hadn't made an appointment with her to watch a movie."
Jiang Xia originally wanted to comfort her, but couldn't think of words for the moment. So she simply gave it up and asked directly: "Why did you accompany her to watch a movie? You have a good relationship with her? And listening to what you said, Mr. Wu Ju called the police."
It has to be very straightforward.”
He said it more tactfully.
Next to him, Toru Amuro spoke more straightforwardly. He looked at Katsuhiko Takei: "Calling the police is indeed the most correct choice, but during the actual kidnapping process, the kidnappers threatened to 'call the police and tear up the vote', and 'pay the ransom guarantee.
After the release, many worried family members of the hostages are often more inclined to spend money to eliminate disasters. Few people will call the police directly, only if they really can't raise enough money, or the kidnappers' malicious intent is too obvious, or they can bear the risk of losing the hostages.
Only a person can make such a choice without hesitation - with all due respect, the roles of you and your secretary seem to be reversed. Are you really the biological father of the hostage lady? "
Katsuhiko Takei was so angry that his nose was twisted. Such a long list of words made him want to get angry every time, but because there was too much information, he didn't know which sentence to target. In the end, his face turned red and he instinctively retorted.
: "You just can't raise enough money!"
Amuro Toru understood: "So it's because of lack of money?"
Katsuhiko Takei: "..."
Amuro Toru: "I've seen the scene. Although the currency you used in your briefcase is counterfeit, if converted into real currency, the amount will never exceed the amount you can afford - for a president of your stature
, even if you have limited liquidity on hand, you should be able to borrow or withdraw some in an emergency, but you still can't raise enough ransom... What did you use your money for? Is that more important than your daughter? "
Katsuhiko Takei's face changed slightly.
Jiang Xia saw the murderous aura emanating from him, and was not worried that he would kill someone, but was worried that he would be so angry that he would drive the boss out.
So the considerate detective smiled and held the tea cup to smooth things over: "The boss is more straightforward, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. Let me translate it for you. He wants to ask you about your usual enemies and the recent ones.
Where does the financial pressure come from? Maybe that person is working with the kidnappers to put pressure on you, hoping to cause damage to your company. If you can provide a list of enemies, and there are suspects, the kidnappers will be easy to screen.
Already."
Kinoshita Yoko looked at Jiang Xia, who was leaning on the sofa drinking tea and watching, and then at Toru Amuro, whose mouth was like a knife, and fell into deep thought.
Kinoshita Yoko: "..." No wonder this boss is always mysterious and rarely appears in society as a detective - according to the way Amuro's boss talks, if he is doing business like Jiang Xia, his clients will definitely hire people to chase him.
Cut it.
For example, Mr. Katsuhiko Takei in front of me, the way he looks at Boss Amuro is like those ghastly villains in movies, who can't even hide their thoughts when they want to kill someone.
Fortunately, whether Jiang Xia's smoothing over was effective or out of some kind of fear, the grumpy Takei Katsuhiko stared at Amuro Tohru for a long time, but he didn't get angry on the spot.
He finally looked away, snorted coldly, held his head high and said: "As a legitimate businessman, what kind of enemies can I have?"
Kinoshita Yoko: "..."
Don't talk about Jiang Xia, even she doesn't believe this.
After all, it was a new interview job. Even if it was just a temporary guest reporter, Kinoshita Yoko was dedicated to checking the information in advance.
Then I discovered that Katsuhiko Takei is a well-known entrepreneur, but he is not known for his good reputation, but that he is a well-known acquisition master.
Acquiring companies is actually a legal act, and Katsuhiko Takei does abide by the law in this regard. However, unlike the normal process of acquiring a company, Katsuhiko Takei's acquisition method is dubbed "bandit" by some people.
He likes to gradually take away equity from other stockholders, and eventually squeeze out the original president. So far, most of the people he has acquired are when the original company has just changed its heir, or when a small company suddenly becomes bigger and is in a hurry.
Something went wrong with the equity allocation.
Under such circumstances, the CEOs who have been squeezed out are often kicked out of the center of power just when they want to develop their ambitions. Among them, there are many people who are resentful and want to get rid of Katsuhiko Takei.
Yoko Kinoshita was considerate and did not criticize anything.
But there were people beside him who were not afraid at all.
Amuro Toru: "It's legal, but you must have a lot of enemies." He shook his phone, "Any search on the Internet will find news about you being scolded. There are also some cases where you are the prototype of a villain. There are even quite a few.
Lawyers use you to solicit clients and promote themselves to small companies with chaotic management. How dare you say that you have no enemies?"
Katsuhiko Takei couldn't help but punch his fist on the table: "Let me tell you, doing business is like fighting a war. Instead of blaming me, those who lose should reflect on why they are stupid and weak and leave nothing to the company."
Such a big loophole!
"Hmph, if you want to check, then go in this direction and collect it yourself. Anyway, I can't remember the losers under my command - I will send you the commission money in a while. If you can't solve it, be careful I will sue you and bankrupt you!"
Tohru Amuro had no reaction to this threat: to be honest, he really hoped that the organization would go bankrupt, but unfortunately, the person in front of him was probably a little off.
The conversation was not very pleasant, but we managed to get through it.
Katsuhiko Takei was irritable and violent, but he didn't hold grudges very much. In other words, even if he did hold grudges, he would still use the people who should be used. He brought his businessman's shrewdness to the extreme and clearly separated public affairs from private affairs.
After talking about the matter, Katsuhiko Takei waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, disappear from my face quickly! When you come next time, you'd better have captured the kidnappers, otherwise don't blame me for ruining your little affair.
