"Yayoi-kun, you're truly amazing, to know even this! We at the police force are very grateful for your help." The fat, hat-wearing police officer's eyes shone with excitement. Altho...
Chapter 66: Extra FBI Secret Line 2
Shuichi Akai quickly established a deep friendship with Shotasu Nakayama. Although he was not yet qualified to enter Shotasu Nakayama's house, they were already close enough to meet up. Shuichi Akai also found Shotasu Nakayama's house with the tracker he installed for the first time. However, Shotasu Nakayama rarely went out, and his house was really small. Even if Shuichi Akai wanted to sneak in, he couldn't find space. He could only settle for the next best thing and installed a surveillance camera outside Shotasu Nakayama's door.
As for finding someone to help, Judy's case in the United States was not over yet, and James was still on "vacation". He could only let Carmel pretend to be "Okiya Subaru" and stay at home to avoid Charlie's eyes. In this case, he really couldn't find more trustworthy people to help.
At this time, it was the third day of their "appointment" to meet. Nakayama Shotasu squatted at the door of his "shop", or more precisely, squatted next to the manhole cover at the back door, and greeted him. Akai Shuichi reluctantly stepped forward and squatted with him.
"Brother Shiraishi, my elder brother told me to blow up the Hie Shrine at 12:00 on June 15. He said they will hold an event tonight and there will definitely be a lot of people!" Nakayama Shotasu pulled out a Tokyo map from his arms and slapped it on the ground, then carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on it, "Oh my god, this is my treasure, I don't have money to buy another one, be gentle, be gentle."
Nakayama Shotasu was crazy. He kept saying that he had an invisible big brother. All he said was how good his big brother was. After hearing so much, Akai Shuichi no longer had the desire to complain. He also squatted on the ground, lowered his head, and did not meet Nakayama Shotasu's eyes. It was as if the empty beverage can on the ground was talking to him, "At night? Not good."
Zhongshan Xiangtai didn't care that there were four people talking to each other. He didn't take his eyes off the map and said, "What do you think?"
Shuichi Akai was sure that Nakayama Shotasu was indeed ill. After all, he had never seen anyone enter Nakayama Shotasu's room in the surveillance cameras he installed. Moreover, he often talked to himself, as if there was really someone standing next to him talking. However, since everyone called Nakayama Shotasu a lunatic, it was normal for him to have hallucinations.
He tilted his head to glance at Nakayama Shotasu and said speechlessly, "You have a ton of explosives. Where do you want to hide them? There are so many people coming and going at Hie Shrine, and there are many security guards and police. It's impossible to hide your explosives. Besides, if you are dressed like this, who would know that there is something wrong with you?"
Nakayama Shotasu looked at his tattered coat and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, "Uh... bro, you have a good brain, what do you think?"
"Me? I don't have any idea."
"Oh, then I'll blow up the floats. I'll just pick a random building nearby and blow it up. I guarantee no one will notice, and that will definitely blow up more!" Nakayama Xiangtai said excitedly, but then he corrected himself, "No, that's not right. The people watching the floats are all tourists... I don't want to blow up tourists..."
What a weird moral concept, Akai Shuichi complained in his heart, he hated the people who set off the fireworks, but not the people who watched the fireworks. Maybe it was because he and his daughter were originally part of the group watching the fireworks. He subconsciously didn't want to include himself and his daughter in the scope of being scolded.
Zhongshan Xiangtai frowned and pulled his hair hard. Long-term malnutrition made his hair fall out in handfuls. "I can't tell who is a believer and who is not. I... I don't want to blow up the float... But, what else can I blow up?"
There was still some conscience, but not much. However, this was finally a breakthrough, and Akai Shuichi suggested: "Then you should blow up a few other scenic spots first, and then call the police and say that you are going to blow up Tokyo at 12 o'clock at night. In this way, only believers will participate in the 12 o'clock parade. Even if no one participates, you can save it for the next time."
Zhongshan Xiangtai thought about it, and then his eyes lit up: "Oh my god, brother, you are awesome, you are absolutely right. But if I go to plant the bomb to blow up the float, I won't have time to plant bombs elsewhere. Brother, please help me."
Akai Shuichi pouted impatiently: "I can go, but I'm worried that you will blow me up. The remote control needs to be changed to a range, and the bomb needs to be set to a timer."
This is beyond Zhongshan Xiangtai's knowledge level. He scratched his head and said, "Uh... how to change it?"
"I can do it." Akai Shuichi sighed and made a gesture of being handcuffed. "I was in there before and met a bomber. I learned a little from him. However, I need to install it on the bomb, so you have to take me to where you put the bomb."
Nakayama Shotasu had no doubts at all. He patted Akai Shuichi on the back with his dusty hands and said, "Wow, you are so awesome, brother! Okay, okay, thank you for your help, brother."
"Then I'll bring it over next time we meet." Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had access to explosives, the remaining problems would not be a big deal. He could destroy all the vibration sensors while installing the timing device. By then, even if Nakayama Shotasu wanted to detonate it, it would be useless.
Although the vibration sensors of these explosives were all destroyed, they were still legitimate explosives, and the police would naturally not let Zhongshan Xiangtai, who had made a criminal declaration, go. By then, although the Fire Spirit Saint Son Church might not be completely implicated, it would definitely be suppressed to a certain extent. If he could convince the bishop that his mission was accomplished, it would be his complete victory.
"By the way, I don't know what to say to the police, so I need you to help me think about it." Zhongshan Xiangtai scratched his head. If he were asked to say it, he could probably only say something like "I'm going to blow you up, just wait for me", which was not tasteful at all.
"Okay, I'll write it for you, but I don't know much about literature, so you can just make do with it." Akai Hide handed the declaration with hints to Nakayama Shotasu. Of course, he still hoped that the Japanese police would be strong enough to understand his hints. This way, the whole process would be very real and would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Brother, what does this time cycle and mutual generation and mutual restraint mean?" Zhongshan Xiangtai was dumbfounded when he saw the paper full of Chinese characters.
Akai Hideo lied without changing his expression: "What I mean is, I was beaten by you before, now it's my turn to beat you."
"Oh, so what does it mean that I will set off three fireworks in Tokyo, and the 12 o'clock bell will be their funeral song?"
"I'm going to blow up three places first, and then blow up a big one at 12 o'clock."
"Oh, oh, oh, so what does it mean that the soul of this pagan is not worthy of ascending to heaven, and the gospel of the new world cannot reach the minds of the ignorant?"
Akai Shuichi continued to lie: "You guys are a bunch of idiots, you don't deserve to be with me."
"Oh, that's awesome! You're worthy of being a high school graduate. What you said is really... uh, awesome!"
Zhongshan Xiangtai thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a second adjective, so he had to fold the paper carefully. He would have to practice it several times to avoid making a mistake in saying this good article, which would be a waste of his brother's hard work.
"Come on, to celebrate our success, let's drink this bottle of wine. Big brother is in my mind anyway, I'll drink two glasses!" As he said that, Nakayama Xiangtai took out a 250ml can of beer and carefully poured it into three paper cups. After buying this bottle of beer, he can only go through the trash can for the next two days. But in order to celebrate, he is willing to spend this huge amount of money. Akai Shuichi didn't say anything, he silently took the paper cup and drank it all.
By the morning of June 15th, Shuichi Akai had taken one-third of the bombs, while Shotasu Nakayama had taken two-thirds.
"To be honest, when it really comes to this, I'm still a little scared." Nakayama Xiangtai scratched his head.
Akai Shuichi was silent for two seconds. Although it was not the first time he heard the other party say that he wanted to give up in the past few days, he did not expect that he would really give up when the time came. His acting for so long was in vain, but soon Nakayama Xiangtai withdrew his speech.
"No, no, my elder brother said that if we don't blow it up, Haruko can't be resurrected. A sacrifice is necessary for the Holy Son to resurrect Haruko." A trace of entanglement flashed across Nakayama Xiangtai's face, and he said softly: "I should believe my elder brother, and as long as it can resurrect Haruko, I can do anything...right..."
If you still blow us up, we can still talk. If not, I will turn around and leave. Akai Shuichi mentioned the four boxes. He deliberately left one without removing the sensor, just to prove that he did not tamper with it. "I will put this one in a nearby building later. You can watch and detonate it around 1 o'clock, and then call the police. The other three are set to detonate at 11 o'clock."
Zhongshan Xiangtai pushed two huge suitcases with great effort, "Okay, okay, my god, these are too heavy." Because he had no money, he could only pick up two suitcases with fallen wheels from the garbage dump. The price was that it was extremely difficult for his malnourished body to drag them.
"...Can you really do it?" Shuichi Akai doubted that even if he came back after placing the bomb, Shotasu Nakayama would still be able to push the box here.
"...I can do it...If not, I'll ask my brother to help me." After saying that, Nakayama Xiangtai kicked the box hard with his foot, but ended up hurting his foot.
Seeing the other person holding his feet and howling, Akai Shuichi felt a little amused. He pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a strange smile, "Then you can handle the rest by yourself. I won't watch the fireworks." Watching fireworks can easily kill you and get you arrested. He planned to visit the Japanese police after setting them off so that he could give them some appropriate tips. He left with the box, exchanged a look with Carmel at the alley, and then passed by.
Three hours later, Akai Shuichi put away all the explosives and came out of his house in the guise of Subaru Okiya. He sent Carmel, who was playing "Subaru Okiya", to follow Nakayama Shotasu, so that the real Subaru Okiya would have to show up. Just as he was about to go out to check the progress of the Japanese police and contact Conan, he received a text message from Carmel: [Mr. Akai, Shotasu Nakayama is going to Asagiri Park with explosives]
Subaru Okiya was quite puzzled. Not only did he do nothing for three hours, but why did he suddenly go to the park? He didn't have time to reapply his makeup, so he could only drive to Asagiri Park with Subaru Okiya's shell. Following Carmel's instructions, he walked to the lake and saw Nakayama Shotasu, who was motionless and looking at the lake. The other party had been sitting quietly, like a wooden sculpture. Then, as if awakened by something, he twitched violently, then stood up, opened the suitcase, and threw the explosives into the lake one by one, muttering softly: "Fish, fish, eat quickly, grow up quickly after eating, and blow them all up to the sky..."
Okiya Subaru: ...? If he hadn't confirmed that the explosives he had modified were the ones he threw, he would have really thought that the other party was feeding the fish.
After all the explosives were thrown into the lake, Nakayama Xiangtai stood up shakily, and he staggered away.
Looking at all the explosives that had sunk to the bottom, Okiya Subaru was puzzled. He frowned and asked Carmel: [Has anyone contacted him?]
Carmel stood behind a tree not far away and replied: [No, except for stealing a cart from a convenience store and watching TV. Then he ran to the sewer and stayed there. The monitoring program also showed that his phone did not receive any messages. The location of the explosives has indeed been nearby and has not moved. It is now located in the lake.]
It sounds normal. Akai Shuichi thought about it and decided to just in case [You continue to follow him and contact him if there is any situation...]
"He Jing-san?"
Seeing Yayoi Kazukage kneeling on the ground, Subaru Okiya put away his half-used phone call and squatted down. Compared to Shotasu Nakayama who had already thrown away all the explosives, he must be more concerned about the source of all this. After all, if it weren't for Yayoi Kazukage, he would never have gone undercover in the Fire Spirit Cult. Seeing that Yayoi Kazukage was already unconscious, he quickly typed: [I'll take Yayoi Kazukage to the hospital, you continue to follow Shotasu Nakayama, contact me if there is any situation], while carrying the person to the hospital.
Zhongshan Xiangtai was no longer useful, so he might as well change his route. For example, see if He Jing Yayoi can bless him again. Yes, blessing. Every time he gave He Jing Yayoi something, he could find that his popularity increased significantly, even to an incredible degree. It was like giving the gods his favorite sacrifice, and the gods cast their eyes on it and bestowed their blessings.
Of course, Shuichi Akai did not come to this conclusion at the beginning. He also went through a long period of entanglement and temptation. He finally chose to hide this matter from the FBI. After all, he did not want to be used as a test subject and lie on the operating table.
After finishing everything and taking care of Yayoi Kazukage to wake up, he walked out of the hospital to meet the FBI who were collecting blood. Then Shuichi Akai received a call from Toru Amuro, "Bourbon, how come you have time to call me?" If you're not busy looking for the bomb, why are you looking for me?
"Yayoi Kazukage is admitted to the hospital, and the emergency contact is your phone number. How could I not call you?" When Toru Amuro heard that Yayoi Kazukage was hospitalized, he sent someone to check the hospital files, and naturally saw the phone number left by Subaru Okiya.
"Tokyo is in such a mess, and you still care whether people are hospitalized or not?" Although Shuichi Akai also felt that things with Keiyayoi were more important, he certainly would not tell Toru Amuro.
"Tokyo is in such a mess, and the authorities won't stop holding the Sanno Festival. What can I do? Besides, Kazukage Yayoi just called and said that he will send someone to help me find explosives... By the way, he was the one who found the explosives in the first place... Do you understand what I mean?"
...I understand, but you suspect the wrong person. The criminal's accomplice is not him, but me.
Akai Shuichi had no intention of performing a self-destruction. "You went to dismantle the explosives? Can you send me a photo to take a look?"
Amuro Toru didn't suspect anything and sent the photo directly. Seeing that it was indeed the explosives he had installed, Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that all the explosives had been dealt with. "Do the police have any clues now?"
"I don't know. I heard that they are arresting people from the Fire Spirit Saint Sect." Amuro Toru paused, "I have told you so much, don't you have anything you want to tell me?" For example, why Kazukage Yayoi was injured.
"I really don't know anything. He was already like this when I saw him. And... if the Sanno Festival can be postponed, then let's not hold it. Let's wait until we catch the guy." Akai Shuichi always felt uneasy, but he couldn't figure out why.
Amuro rolled his eyes speechlessly, "...Is this something I can decide? But if the bomb is not found by 12 o'clock, it may not be held. But this is a 4 billion yen event, even if you replace it with the US government, it will not stop easily."
That's true, Shuichi Akai agrees with this statement.
"Okay... try your best. If... I mean if, you can try looking near Ginza." As soon as Shuichi Akai saw the message from James on his phone, he hung up immediately.
Toru Amuro looked at his beeping phone in confusion. Why did he feel like the FBI had set up a big trap for him?
