Chapter 48: Rebirth in the Fire
However, there will definitely be a queue. Fortunately, the queue is not long. After waiting for ten minutes, it was their turn. He Jing Yayoi handed the menu to Amuro Toru, "You choose. You cook delicious food, so you must be very knowledgeable about these."
Amuro Toru didn't refuse, but raised his eyebrows in confusion, "How do you know that my cooking is delicious?"
Yayoi Kazukage took out her phone and opened the review of Polo Cafe on Tabelog (Japan's Dianping):
[The waiters are handsome and beautiful! Very pleasing to the eyes! ]
[There aren't many things, but they're delicious! Especially Mr. Amuro's sandwich, highly recommended! ]
[I really want to marry Mr. Amuro~]
[Stop being crazy, why don’t you just go away and let me take over]
[Have you seen Mr. Amuro's abdominal muscles? They are really ******, I really want to *****] (This user has been banned)
Amuro Toru's wheat-colored skin inevitably turned a little red: …
"You know, I quite like cakes. Last time you wore the apron of a coffee shop, I remembered the name of the shop. Sorry, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to see if your cakes were delicious." Kazukage Yayoi was a little amused, "Then I saw a lot of people saying they liked your...sandwiches."
Why do you pause here!
"This is a mission from the organization," Amuro Toru held his forehead with his hand, "and I don't go there often." It's so embarrassing, why should he have to read other people's infatuated comments about him in front of the organization members!
"Everyone loves beauty. And I didn't mean it. I just want to say that I know your cooking is delicious." He Jing Yasheng took back his phone. "If you go to the school forum, they are just as crazy about me as this."
Toru Amuro who has already seen it: Ah, indeed, some people’s remarks have completely reached the level of sexual harassment, and Toru Amuro has begun to worry whether Japan’s future is going to be ruined.
"Okay, let's order some food. I'm hungry..." Before He Jing Yasheng could finish, he heard a loud rumble from the rooftop, which made his ears slightly ring. The paintings on the wall fell down with a crackle, hitting several guests sitting against the wall. Even the vase on their table fell down, and the water inside poured down the table, soaking He Jing Yasheng.
Toru Amuro stood up and looked down from the French window. Downstairs in the mall, people filed out of the main door, colliding with each other like marbles. Screams and cries could be heard even on the seventh floor where they were. The restaurant was also in chaos, with guests running out one after another. Chairs fell to the ground, tablecloths were pulled, and half of the food on the table was spilled and trampled on the ground, leaving dirty marks. The restaurant manager stood at the door and shouted loudly, directing guests and staff to evacuate in fear.
"It exploded." Kazukage Yayoi put down the menu and repeatedly wiped the water off her body with a tissue. She was wet and felt a little uncomfortable.
"The situation is unclear, let's leave here first." Toru Amuro picked up the car keys and cell phone and was about to leave, but he saw Kazukage Yayoi still sitting quietly on the chair. For a moment, he didn't know whether to leave or not.
Kazukage Yayoi looked up at Amuro Toru, but his eyes passed him and looked elsewhere. He was not a dying person, and neither were the other people in the restaurant. It was okay, there was no rush.
Toru Amuro looked at Kazukage Yayoi who was still wiping her clothes slowly, so he could only walk over, pull her up, and take her away by force.
"No matter whether you know something or not, you still have to run!" Amuro Toru pulled him and rushed out.
Well, well, he had no choice but to symbolically follow the crowd and run. But it was really okay, he assured me, no one in the entire building would die in the explosion.
At this time, the Metropolitan Police Department had received dozens of calls for help, and the police department, which was in a tense deployment, suddenly received a call that was different from the others. The voice of the other party was hoarse, as if he had not drunk water for several days.
Without waiting for the policeman to finish speaking, the other party started talking, "Time is cyclical, and things are interdependent. Fire brings new life, and death is never the end. I will set off three fireworks in Tokyo, and the 12 o'clock bell will be their funeral song. The souls of pagans are not worthy of ascending to heaven, and the gospel of the new world cannot reach the minds of the ignorant." Then, without giving the policeman time to react, he hung up the phone immediately.
Hearing the recording played by the police officer who answered the call, Inspector Megure threw the notebook in his hand in anger, "Damn it, too arrogant!"
He waved his arms and ordered everyone, "Check the IP address, check the surveillance, and seize every opportunity to find the criminal!"
Ten minutes later, Toru Amuro, who had already evacuated to the car, received a text message from the police.
"Well, my informant told me that someone has planted bombs in three places in Tokyo, and they will be detonated at 12 o'clock tonight." Amuro Toru asked tentatively, "Are you going to leave Tokyo? I can take you to the station."
Only after sending Kage Yayoi away could he go to the public security department to do business.
Kazukage Yayoi shook her head, "I'll be fine, and neither will you. There's no need to leave Tokyo."
To be honest, this statement is too much like that of a criminal. A look of doubt flashed across Toru Amuro's eyes, and he asked calmly, "What do you know? Is it related to the organization? Or..." It's only related to you.
Kazukage Yayoi looked at Bourbon's fingertips that were unconsciously leaning towards the gun, and said helplessly: "Don't be nervous, it wasn't me, and I don't know anything. You can take this as my intuition."
Bourbon raised his eyebrows and looked at Kazukage Yayoi, smiling, "I'm not nervous, I just want to ask what we are doing now. If we run around everywhere, what if we happen to run into a bomb site?" Amuro Toru saw that the streets outside were empty because of the explosion, and only ambulances, police cars, and reporters were going upstream. They were very conspicuous and strange to stop here. If they stayed for a while longer, they would probably be questioned by the police.
"Actually, the safest place is here. It's already exploded once, so it won't explode again." He Jing Yayoi complained, but he didn't really want to stay here. "Well... maybe your police friend can tell us the information of the criminal? We can go look for him?"
Hearing the word "police", Amuro Toru's pupils shrank in fear, but his tone remained calm, and he even showed a playful smile, "Police? What do you mean?"
"The only people who could know the situation so quickly at this time are either the police or the reporters. If it's the reporters, it proves that the criminal has sent the news to various news stations. Now no news station has broadcast this incident, so it can only be the police. Or do you want to tell me that your intelligence agent is an accomplice of the criminal?"
Kazukage Yayoi gave him a strange look, not knowing what he was refutation about. "Are you trying to say that you have contacted the police and are worried that I and the organization will report you? Although I don't know if other people know about it, Mr. Crow knows about it."
Mr. Crow? What a weird nickname.
"You mean the boss because I have reported to the boss. Well, actually I have more informants than you think, but you did not guess wrong this time." Amuro Toru shrugged. Although he was frightened for a moment, it was known within the organization that he had an informant in the police. Otherwise, what if he was caught when walking with the public security?
He just didn't expect Kazue Yayoi to react so quickly. Moreover, Kazue Yayoi actually knew that the boss knew about this matter, why? Was Kazue Yayoi so high in status that the boss had already disclosed so much information? How much other information about the organization did Kazue Yayoi know? Amuro Toru put all his thoughts aside and planned to solve the current problem first.
"Let me ask. The other party should be happy to tell me about this kind of thing." Toru Amuro directly told the public security that the organization didn't know either, and he also wanted to find a leader and some information. Thank you.
The public security department did not hide anything either. An organized labor force would be stupid, so they packed up all the latest and most complete information and sent it to Toru Amuro.
"Yes, it was from a public phone booth. There is no surveillance near the public phone booth. The police checked the time difference between the pedestrians passing by the front and back sections of the road and said they found a person."
Bourbon checked the surveillance video and saw a man wearing a cap with a strand of dry yellow hair sticking to his ear. It was a hot day, but he was wearing a large coat that reached his mid-thigh. There were some spots on it, but it was hard to tell what the stains were. He had his hands in his pockets the whole time, and even though sweat dripped down his hair and stained his clothes, he didn't wipe it off.
"There is also a phone recording, but that's all we have. Haha, so incompetent." Toru Amuro still symbolically complained about the police.
Kazukage Yayoi looked at Amuro Toru with amusement, "That's already impressive. It's only been ten minutes."
Today is June 15th, and 12 o'clock is the time when the Sanno Festival begins, which perfectly fits the criminal's description of time and paganism. Sanno Festival is a traditional festival in Tokyo. It is held from June 10th to June 20th every year. The grand festival on June 15th is the most grand event. There are parades, sacrificial performances, lanterns and fireworks on that day. It is Friday and many students will participate. The streets must be full of people. In addition, the sound of explosions will be covered by the sound of fireworks, and the noisy crowds on the street will also hinder the passage of police cars, ambulances, etc. As a crime time, it can be said to be a godsend.
"There are still 10 hours and 27 minutes. The task is arduous." Kazukage Yayoi glanced at the time.
If the government dispersed the crowd, it would not be enough to send everyone out of Tokyo. Moreover, if the criminal saw that everyone had left and did not detonate the bomb, wouldn't people never come back?
"Well... let's go to the Tokyo Skytree." After thinking for a while, Kazukage Yayoi said to Amuro Toru. Amuro Toru did not refuse. The Tokyo Skytree is high enough, with a wide field of vision, and it is easy to observe the surroundings. It is not bad to go there. But what is Kazukage Yayoi thinking of to catch the criminal? Is it because of his own safety, or... because of the citizens of Tokyo?
