Chapter 181
"Yes, the bomber who almost killed you has been released from prison. He was only sentenced to a few years."
Usoppei asked casually, "What are your plans?"
Kenji Hagiwara was surprised that Saiki Usaba was still paying attention to this matter, and even asked such a question. He pondered for a moment and asked in return, "What do you think I should do?"
Usoya Saiki: "...It's nothing."
Kenji Hagiwara sighed on the other end of the phone.
Don't think he doesn't know; Little Deepflow is definitely thinking about some legal but immoral things, like sting operations to send that bomber back to jail.
While it's touching that Koshinari still cares about the bomber from years ago—as someone who almost died—it's unnecessary to go this far! Police shouldn't do things like this!
...However, it seems that Kofukami doesn't really care about the police, otherwise he wouldn't have had the First Investigation Division write so many self-criticisms for him...
Ugh, my head hurts.
Kenji Hagiwara felt that this trip hadn't really helped him relax. He only had time to play for a morning before he had to investigate a case, and then he received this news before dark. He also had to worry about Shinryu not doing anything dangerous.
When he returned from his vacation and complained to Matsuda Jinpei, Matsuda Jinpei expressed schadenfreude.
"I knew something bad would happen if I went out with you guys."
Kenji Hagiwara was speechless: "...Is this the time to talk about this?"
"So what do you want me to say, about that bomber? I actually hope he stays in prison for a few more years." Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes. "Even if no one actually died, he was aiming to kill so many people. Your entire squad was almost wiped out, and he only got out after a few years... It's already very moral of me to do nothing. I can understand what Hanchuan really wants to do."
Kenji Hagiwara sighed: "That makes sense... but I'm mainly worried about what Fukaru thinks."
It's impossible to say he harbored no resentment towards the bomber, given that he and his colleagues nearly died because of it. Given the right opportunity, it would be perfectly justifiable for him to retaliate within reasonable limits.
But if Hanchuan Shenliu brings this up himself, it seems that the nature of the matter changes if he intends to do something.
“If that bomber behaves himself and doesn’t cause trouble again, Han Chuan won’t have the chance to do anything.” Matsuda Jinpei frowned. “Anyone with a brain wouldn’t mess with Han Chuan a second time.”
Kenji Hagiwara pondered, "That would be best. Let's keep an eye on that website a little longer."
Several years ago, after discovering the leak of bomb disposal plans in Hawaii, the two returned to China and began to investigate the source of the leak. They discovered a dark web for bomb enthusiasts, and many of the bomb suspects arrested previously had accounts on this website.
They launched a joint operation with other departments, but soon after, they extracted a new website address from newly captured bombers.
With the advancement of internet technology, the dark web has become increasingly hidden, and its URLs have changed periodically, with only paid members able to receive the new URLs.
The servers are located overseas, so we can't catch the perpetrators and can only watch helplessly as this dark web continues to be relentlessly eradicated.
Since we can't figure it out ourselves, we can only join in and make use of it.
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda both had accounts on some websites, and they would go there whenever they had free time to check for crime warnings or requests for help from criminals in the Tokyo area. Surprisingly, they even managed to catch criminals in the act several times before they had finished planting bombs.
However, most people are smart; the posts don't provide much information, and the IP lookups are all fake. They have no idea where the person is, so there's no way to prepare in advance. They can only improvise.
Kenji Hagiwara hoped that if the bomber really wanted to do something, he would be foolish enough to expose himself on the dark web and be arrested in advance. That would definitely be better than falling into the hands of Shinryu Kagawa.
Matsuda Jinpei scoffed, "There are so many posts every day, how can I possibly keep up..."
That's what he said, but since it was brought up, he casually opened the dark web, intending to see if there was anything noteworthy right now.
"Huh? Is this an invitation to Pramia?" Kenji Hagiwara suddenly noticed a post, "Tokyo..."
Pramiya, an internationally notorious bomber of unknown identity, has committed numerous crimes around the world with extremely negative consequences, yet no one has ever caught him, and everyone who might know Pramiya's identity is dead.
Police forces in various countries have been ineffective in capturing Pramiya, leading to a group of victims and associates who had their friends and family killed by him forming a movement to hunt him down.
Because this organization's methods were too drastic and they were indeed quite capable, they gave Pramia a bit of a headache and carried out several retaliatory cases. Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda had both heard of them.
Matsuda Jinpei frowned: "These kinds of international criminals probably wouldn't even consider small jobs like Japan's, right? I think Pramia used to prefer operating in major countries like France, the United States, and Russia..."
"The bombs at Pramia were said to be quite unique, but since they've all been destroyed, we don't know exactly what their structure was. It would be troublesome if we encountered one," Kenji Hagiwara said worriedly.
"I'm also a little curious, but it's best if Pramie doesn't come to Japan. Because of this, I'll never know what kind of design is acceptable."
Matsuda Jinpei skipped the request, scrolled down to the posts related to the keywords, and complained, "There are more smart people now, they don't give detailed information anymore. What's the point of just saying Tokyo? At least tell me which district you plan to plant the bomb in!"
You shouldn't look at these kinds of websites too much. If you look at them too often, you'll realize that there are so many cases that could happen, but you're powerless to do anything about them, which will lead to a strong sense of frustration and anxiety.
However, before closing the webpage, a post caught their attention, and they couldn't resist clicking on it to take a look.
The title is: "If you want to retaliate against the police, in what situations is it best to plant a bomb?"
Perhaps because the topic was so stimulating, the post was filled with enthusiastic comments from people who seemed to enjoy watching funerals, mentioning things like the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, schools, parks, and the Metropolitan Police Department.
This kind of post is meaningless; reading it only annoys you. Hagiwara Kenji jokingly remarked, "Is this post something that guy made to get revenge on Fukamikazuchi?"
“What a coincidence. There are plenty of guys who hate the police.” Matsuda Jinpei sighed. “I really hope they can use that energy elsewhere.”
Little did they know, this post was made by the bomber who had just been released from prison.
During his years in prison, as time passed and the human brain began to modify its memory to suit its own interests, his fear of Hanchuan Shenliu gradually faded, while his resentment grew deeper.
Fortunately, he was only sentenced to a few years instead of decades, so he wasn't completely out of touch with the times when he got out. After getting familiar with the advancements in technology, he began to plan his revenge.
First, he investigated Kanakawa Shinryu and was shocked to find that the guy was actually a detective in the First Investigation Division—it was as if God was helping him!
If Han Chuan Shenliu were an ordinary person, and he ran into the deep mountains and forests, then he really wouldn't be able to do anything. He wouldn't be able to find the person, so how could he take revenge?
But this guy is a cop now!
As we all know, the police must be reasonable and have the people at heart, at least on the surface. So, if you want to retaliate against the police, there are too many ways to do so.
The bomber immediately decided to kill Sugawa Shinryu in front of many people, or to make Sugawa Shinryu be cursed by everyone.
Then you have to find a crowded place.
He posted online to gather ideas while also looking at news related to bombs, trying to get some inspiration from them.
Soon, his attention was drawn to a case that had occurred not long ago.
The bomb was planted inside the Ferris wheel, and the perpetrators deceived the supervisors, forcing them to stop the Ferris wheel mid-air, preventing everyone on board from getting off. It turned out to be all a lie…
Although the perpetrator in this case has been caught, he felt that this line of thinking was very worth learning!
He also wanted to make a bomb, put it inside the Ferris wheel, and find a way to get Han Chuan Shenliu inside. Then he would put a balancing mechanism inside the bomb to trap Han Chuan Shenliu in mid-air.
He would also plant bombs in other places, choosing locations with a large number of people and significant social impact from that post, and then display the warnings on the screen so that they wouldn't be visible once the bombs were defused, forcing Han Chuan Shenliu to choose between living or saving so many others!
Since they are police officers, it's only right that they sacrifice themselves for others, right?
However, he believed that someone like Shinryu Hanchuan, even if he became a policeman, could not possibly become a good person. Therefore, Shinryu Hanchuan would definitely choose to defuse the bomb, which was contrary to the public's expectations.
We should try to notify the TV station in advance so that the program team can go there and broadcast live how the police sacrificed so many innocent people for their own lives.
This would absolutely make Hanchuan Shenliu infamous, socially dead, and unable to leave the house ever again! It would also severely damage the reputation and prestige of the police profession!
Moreover, he had it installed in advance and controlled it remotely, so without evidence, there was no way to arrest him... This revenge was absolutely successful!
The bomber's thoughts became increasingly rosy.
So here's the question.
How can he be sure that the person entering the Ferris wheel is definitely Hanchuan Shenliu?
--------------------
Bonus chapter for the landmine! Just one more time and it'll be all paid off!
.
The body's self-defense system can sometimes downplay things that make you feel scared.
Furthermore, this bomber believed that Han Chuan Shenliu was colluding with the police, was shady, and would inflict severe pain on people, so he avoided these elements and simply didn't show himself directly. He thought his revenge plan was perfect.
.
The Ferris wheel case he saw was the case Hagiwara and Kankawa solved in chapter 160, but the news didn't mention who the detective was, so...
