The man clearly trembled and took a few steps backward after that. He didn't expect that someone can grip a toy gun like that so hard that it melted. His mind is in panic that he never linked anything to magic. Although I used magic, I didn't exactly violated the rules. I am just using it to make his mind more panicked than he was right now. He totally drops his guard after seeing his plastic toy gun melted a bit.
Now is my chance!
With a quick step, I deflected the toy gun and grab his arm, pulling it on behind and pull the sleeve of his clothes and strike his pulse before sending a surge of mana in him. According to Moonlight, if you want an easy disabling technique to deal with ordinary humans, sending a surge of mana in their pulse in their arm would suffice. Sending a small amount is enough to render the target paralyzed. And she was right, just when I released a bit of mana and transferred it to him, he suddenly stiffened and paralyzed.
I quickly lean him on the counter and look at Erina.
"What are you waiting for, get a rope or something. Also, call the cops!" I said to her.
"Ah! Yes!" Erina quickly dialed in the telephone just beside the cash register machine and calls the police.
The guy I apprehended is crying. I was right with my line of thought, this person is not a real robber. A real robber would try everything to get away, but this guy just started crying. This man is clearly on his last wits and were forced to rob a convenience store.
Erina brought me a rope and I tied him up. He didn't even retaliate at all or try to break free, he is just crying.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" he cried and big droplets of tears fell from his face.
I squatted in front of him and look at his pitiful face. From the looks of this old man, he is a worker in a construction sight. His face is clearly ashen and his body is bulky. His hands has callouses that are unique in people working in construction sites. In short, he is a normal laborer.
"Old man, why are you stealing? You know that its a bad thing to steal, and yet you strike a convenience store," I looked at him with a curious look on his face.
"I am so sorry! I have no choice! I have no choice!" the man said while crying, snot and tears mixed up in his face.
"No choice?" My eyebrows raised a bit.
"My daughter is kidnapped by people I don't know. They called me earlier and demanded money for ransom. They said they needed 5 million. I am just a construction site worker, how can I get that kind of money?" and with that, he started crying again.
"So you resort into robbing. How about asking your boss or your friends for money? Sure enough, someone will be nice enough to lend you," I said to him.
"ITS FIVE MILLION! No one would be dumb enough to lend me that amount of money! And besides, how can I pay it back? Even if I have to work my whole life I won't be able to pay someone like that!"
Ah... Yeah, how bad of me to forget that. Five million yen is already a large amount of money and no one would be willing to lend that amount so easily and even I would not even try to ask for that amount.
"So you decided to rob? Why not ask the Police? They will be able to help you locate your daughter!"
"Keh, police, those people are all just talk. Every second leads my daughter to danger. What investigation this and investigation that, they can't track it if they keep on staying at the station!" he said agitated but tears are still flowing in his face.
"I see..." I stood up and walk away. I don't have any kind of power to help him. I may be heartless but I am not a hero. This matter is not something I need. However, before I can fully go away, he spoke again.
"Boy, please, help my daughter! Find him please! He is my only family left after her mother died! I beg you..." the man cried and looked at me with pleading eyes.
"..." I looked at him. Although I don't really have any kind of remorse at him, this is indeed a different case.
"Please young man, find my daughter!" he pleaded.
I stood up and look at Erina.
"Wait for the police to arrive, I will be going home," I said and left the payment in the counter for my food.
"Ah, yeah..." Erina nodded.
I left the convenience store but I did not go back home. I pulled out my phone and opened the Anonymous Chatgroup. In the chat group, everyone are busy discussing a certain case.
***
Volta: The kidnapping cases are getting numerous around town.
Yaya: I have undertaken a job about the kidnapping case. According to the higher ups, its connected to a certain group that kidnaps young women around the age of 7 to 8 years old.
Tsukoyomi: Are they just pedophile? I heard many stories about pedophiles around my area.
Quisar: Stop it @Tsukoyomi. Its not something you need to talk. This case is something else and this is not a pedophile case like what you are saying.
Tsugimoto: Isn't that a bit different @Tsukoyomi? If they are just those filthy old men who are lecherous enough to hit on young girls, do they really need to call their parents for ransom? And how the heck did they even get their numbers. It was more likely that they are a large organization and not a normal pedophile case.
Raigaki: AHAHAHA.... Lolis...
(System Announcement: Raigaki has been muted for 1 day)
Volta: Another strike, stop being lewd @Raigaki.
Yaya: I think he is always muted whenever he appears to talk...
Rena: Anyway, the police are already holding a large amount of kidnapping case that occurred in just a single day. All of the family of the kids are saying that they were being informed that their children has been already in their hands and demanded 5 million yen as ransom for the kids.
Yaya: Thanks for the info @Rena, for all of you who are lurking there, I need help on info gathering, please give every single info that will help me track down the enemy this time.
Withering Life: According to the intel I got, this kidnappers only operate in Tokyo area so, its a high probability that their base is also in Tokyo.
Volta: In Tokyo huh? I am currently in Tokyo, I might be able to dig up a few info myself here.
***
This time around, I quickly piece together the info and found it a bit similar to the guy in the convenience store that I tied up. Its a bit of a coincidence. I was just checking the group and ask for any tracking spell for me to use. Who would have though that they are already talking about it. Might as well use this opportunity then.

Kazuma: @Yaya, I have a man here that claims that he is in need of money to pay the ransom of the kidnappers that kidnapped his daughter. He said that he might be meeting those kidnappers, why don't we use the chance to use it as a lead?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
