Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1198 The Secret Code Hidden in the Children's Song

Chiba Kazunobu recounted the content of the phone call he had just received.

Yuya's expression changed after hearing this, and he asked, "Officer Chiba, who's calling?"

Chiba Kazunobu glanced at the number and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. He then showed it to the others, and Sato Miwako exclaimed, "This looks like Miike's number!"

"Huh?" Everyone's expression changed slightly.

Thinking of the man's scolding and the immediate hang-up on the phone, wasn't this a clear kidnapping scene? Could it be that Miike Naeko had been caught by the criminal?

Miwako Sato quickly took out her cell phone and tried to call Miike Naeko, but the number was disconnected after two rings. When she called again, the phone was turned off.

Everyone's faces darkened slightly. Needless to say, Miike Naoko was kidnapped!

Chiba Kazunobu's heart suddenly tightened. He asked tentatively, "Officer Sato, I want to ask, Officer Miike, is your last name Miike, not your nickname Sanmao?"

Sato Miwako looked at him in confusion: "It's Miike, why did you think it was Sanmao?"

Chiba Kazunobu smiled awkwardly. It was because Yumi mentioned the word "cat" that made him think it was the nickname Sanmao.

But if it was Miike... would it be that person?

A little girl with twin pigtails appeared before Qianye and Nobuyuki. Could such a coincidence happen in the world? The more he thought about it, the more he felt his breathing quicken.

Recalling what happened to Momozaki Orange and Yagi Shiori, Chiba Kazunobu could no longer stay and turned around and ran towards his car: "I'm going to find Officer Miike!"

"Wait, Chiba!" Shiratori Renzaburo hurriedly called out to him, "Do you know where Officer Miike is?"

Chiba Kazunobu suddenly stopped and turned back anxiously and awkwardly: "No, I don't know..."

Shiratori Renzaburo sighed. He understood Chiba Kazunobu's anxiety, but being anxious was useless.

He suppressed his anxiety and analyzed calmly: "From the current situation, the call just now should be Officer Miike's call for help while the criminal was not paying attention. Well, although I don't know why she called Chiba."

Chiba Kazunobu was also a little confused. If he remembered correctly, he had not exchanged contact information with Miike Naoko.

Could he have heard about it from another colleague at the Metropolitan Police Department? Ah, the most likely person is Yumi Miyamoto.

But why did she save my contact information? Could it be that she really is...

Chiba Kazunobu shook his head vigorously. No, now is not the time to think about it. He should quickly think about where Miike Naoko would be.

Shiratori Renzaburo was unaware of Chiba Kazunobu's thoughts. He continued his analysis, "In that case, the strange knocking sound on the phone must be the code given by Officer Miike to indicate her location."

"Chiba, can you recall the frequency of the knocking?"

Qianye Heshen was stunned for a moment, then he recalled carefully and began to recite tentatively: "Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong."

"Hmm?" Several people's expressions changed.

Takagi Wataru couldn't help but say, "Why does it sound like the melody of a certain song?"

Sato Miwako also said: "Indeed, and it sounds very familiar."

Yuya crossed his arms and pondered, "Does it sound like... the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?"

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously sang silently in their hearts. The next second, they excitedly shouted: "Yes, that's the song!"

“But what does this song represent?”

Yuya pinched his chin and asked, "Inspector Shiratori, what does Kengo Aono do for a living?"

Shiratori Renzaburo was taken aback and replied, "I'm engaged in house decoration work."

After listening to this, Yuya said decisively, "I see! I get it! The criminal is working in the renovation industry. Plus, the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, if my reasoning is correct, Officer Miike must have been caught in the planetarium that was under renovation!"

"Planetarium? Is that the one across from the Mihua Karaoke?"

"That's right!"

Shiratori Renzaburo decisively ordered: "Takagi, Sato, Chiba, let's go to the planetarium!"

"Yes!"

···

Inside the planetarium

Aono Kengo gave Miike Naoko a hard kick and said angrily, "Damn it, you just won't speak!"

Miike Naoko's hands were tied behind her back, her clothes were covered in dust, and her face was covered in scratches. It was obvious that she had been tortured.

She curled up on the ground, gasping for breath to relieve the pain.

Aono Kengo said coldly, holding the baseball bat, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, but don't blame me. This will make it so that you will never be able to speak!"

As he said this, he took two steps forward, raised the baseball bat high in his hand, and then swung it down heavily.

"Chiba..." Feeling death approaching, Miike Naoko still clenched her teeth, but could not help but silently recite the name in her heart, "I'm sorry, I haven't had the time to recognize you..."

"Twinkle, twinkle little star, the sky is full of little stars..."

At this moment, a sweet female voice sounded in the planetarium.

The sudden singing made Aono Kengo's heart tighten. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and asked loudly: "Who is it?! Who is there?!"

The man didn't answer and continued singing.

Along with the singing, there was the sound of footsteps.

"Hanging in the sky, shining like many little eyes."

As the song ended, Miwako Sato walked out from the shadows.

Aono Kengo's expression suddenly changed: "Where did this woman come from?"

He realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to kidnap Sanchi Miaozi, but it was too late.

A hand suddenly stretched out and tightly gripped Aono Kengo's wrist. Then he felt his collar tighten, and after a dizzying spin, Aono Kengo fell heavily to the ground.

"I brought this person here just to get your attention!"

Shiratori Renzaburo held Aono Kengo down and said coldly, "Aono Kengo, you are hereby arrested on suspicion of the serial murder of female police officers! The time is 22:54 PM."

Miike Naeko looked up in surprise: "Inspector Shiratori, and Officer Sato?"

"Officer Miike, are you okay?"

At this moment, a voice full of thoughts sounded in Sanchi Miaozi's ears.

She looked in surprise and saw Chiba Kazunobu running towards her with big strides.

However, Sanchi Miaozi's expression suddenly changed: "Wait, don't stay away from coming over!"

"What, what?" Chiba Kazunobu was stunned, and suddenly felt that he touched something thin.

A cold light flashed, the steel wire activated the mechanism, and a crossbow arrow whizzed towards Qianye Heshen's head.

Chiba Heshen broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, he seemed to see his great-grandmother waving at him.

However, the next second, Chiba Kazunobu felt a pain in his chest, and Miike Naeko rushed over. The two fell to the ground, and the crossbow arrow grazed Miike Naeko's calf and shot into the seat.

"Chiba, Miike!" Sato Miwako was shocked and ran towards the two of them in a hurry.
