Chapter 183
Kenji Hagiwara and Saiki Usui fell silent in the face of this challenge.
"...That's it?" Kenji Hagiwara said incredulously. "Just so you'd come back to see this, that guy even sent a fax to the First Investigative Division to report you for not coming home at night?"
"This guy seems to have OCD," said Usakabe Saiki, speechless. "He feels like everything has to go according to plan, otherwise he feels like ants are crawling all over him... I think I already know who it is."
That bomber who was recently released from prison, right?
In the original story, this guy set up a countdown, sending random numbers to the Metropolitan Police Department every year. When Matsuda Jinpei transferred to the First Investigation Division, the countdown had just ended, and he sent out the code to cause trouble... It seems like he was so impatient when it was Matsuda's turn, and he harbored deep resentment.
Kenji Hagiwara sighed: "I think I know too."
Not long ago, Xiao Shenliu mentioned this to him. The timing, the keywords like bomb, and the hatred towards Xiao Shenliu... it all makes sense.
Bo Yezhai pondered, "But I can't understand why he hates me so much? I didn't do anything, did I? I just beat him up?"
I can understand if this guy wants to retaliate against the police, but why target him specifically? Even without him, that guy is still breaking the law!
Of all the prisoners he's dealt with, this guy is the most troublesome!
Usakabe automatically ignored the fact that most of them were still in prison.
Kenji Hagiwara remained silent after hearing this: "…………"
Well, even if he is Xiao Shenliu's friend, I have to say that this euphemism is a bit too much.
Why don't you mention why you beat him up? Wasn't it to ruin his plans, and then send him to jail afterward?
Furthermore, they intimidated the other person, scaring them so much that they collapsed in the Metropolitan Police Department corridor, causing them to lose face completely...
While from Koshinryu's perspective, he might have felt that he had only punched someone, from that person's perspective, it was the darkest moment of their life, and it's perfectly normal for them to hold a grudge.
Kenji Hagiwara politely steered the conversation away from the topic, saying, "It's most likely the bomber, but we can't be completely sure, since quite a few people hate you... Anyway, let's have someone check where he's been and what he's been doing lately."
Bo Yezaki nodded in agreement.
The two checked the room again to see if there was anything suspicious, and then searched the apartment for places where bombs might be planted. They found nothing, so they returned to the First Investigation Division with the letter and informed Inspector Megure of their new discovery.
After listening to Kenji Hagiwara's summary, Inspector Megure could only sigh, "...Has this day finally come?"
Usoppō Saiki: "Which day are you referring to...?"
Inspector Megure coughed and gave an awkward laugh.
How could he say that he was actually worried about Han Chuan Shenliu being retaliated against every day? He was also a little surprised that for two years, Han Chuan Shenliu hadn't encountered any other problems besides being reported and complained about all the time.
You have to understand that the detectives whose situations were slightly less serious than Hanchuan Shenliu's had their families murdered, kidnapped, or even found dead. Yet Hanchuan Shenliu's methods were far more ruthless than those of his detectives, and now the first one is finally seeking revenge...
It's hard to say whether it's because the prisoners Han Chuan Shenliu tormented were so unpopular that none of their relatives or friends were willing to seek revenge, or whether it's because Han Chuan Shenliu's intimidating power was so strong that it would be strange if anyone dared to retaliate.
"In short, this matter deserves our attention. Since you have suspects, I will have them investigated," Inspector Megure said seriously. "But we can't be careless either. Any other suspects can be added to the list in time. Also, we now know about Hankawa-kun's apartment. Doesn't that seem a bit dangerous? Perhaps Hankawa-kun should stay in the Metropolitan Police Department's lounge for the time being."
Usakabe Saiki refused: "It would be better for me if he dared to come to my apartment, so I'm going home to sleep."
The Mumu Police Department said it understood.
So it's just another case of entrapment, counter-enforcement, and then manipulating the criminals in one fell swoop?
Although it's a bit risky, it's something Hanchuan Shenliu is quite familiar with, so there's really no need to worry too much.
Considering this guy can only slip letters through the crack in the door, he probably can't do much beyond that.
Kenji Hagiwara: "Then I'll..."
"Don't come here," Bo Yezaki interrupted him.
Kenji Hagiwara glanced at him, then turned to Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector, I request to work with him recently to avoid any accidents."
Inspector Megure glanced guiltily at Usui Saiki, feeling that this went against his wishes, but he also felt that this arrangement was better, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, you two be careful, and call us for help if you have any problems."
Usoppei sighed dejectedly.
Sigh, it seems we can only deal with that bomber in a roundabout way.
Soon, everyone in the First Investigation Division learned that Shinryu Sukawa was being targeted and might face retaliation.
Sato Miwako was taken aback: "Who gave him the courage?!"
“A policeman, isn’t he?” Shiratori Renzaburo said sharply. “If Hanchuan-kun weren’t a policeman, he probably wouldn’t have dared to do this. He’s only so brave because Hanchuan-kun is a policeman now and has to abide by police rules, and absolutely cannot cross the line easily…”
The young man, with an extremely dangerous demeanor, concluded expressionlessly: "Good people are always the ones who get bullied."
Everyone: "…………"
That makes sense, and it sounds perfectly normal to anyone, but it just sounds incredibly jarring coming from you!
“You’re just too nice to the prisoners,” Bo Yezaki commented. “They’re emboldened, knowing they won’t die even if they’re arrested, so they even dare to talk tough to you… Last time I passed by, I actually saw someone say that he would kill the policeman who arrested him when he got out. It was truly an eye-opener.”
Shiratori Renzaburo sighed, "Well, there's nothing we can do about this. Since we're police officers, we can't just take unilateral actions based on our own whims."
Everyone had been fed up with these kinds of prisoners taking advantage of them for a long time, so when Han Chuan Shenliu liked to torture prisoners, everyone would give a token reassurance to make sure they wouldn't cross the line, and then they would all acquiesce and even help write reports... In fact, everyone was secretly enjoying it.
The young man with deep hair and red eyes casually unleashed a powerful statement: "So sometimes I think it would be better not to be a policeman."
Everyone: "…………"
Here it comes, here it comes, it's finally here—I knew Hanakawa Shinryu had a problem with being a police officer!
A sense of crisis instantly weighed on everyone's shoulders.
On one hand, they felt that if Kankawa Shinryu resigned, their First Investigation Division's performance might instantly drop back to what it was three years ago. On the other hand, they were also worried that if Kankawa Shinryu resigned for reasons like "not being able to be ruthless to criminals," then what terrible things would he do after resigning?
What's even more terrifying is that Hanchuan Shenliu is definitely an expert in how to evade legal punishment... If he ever suddenly decides to do something big, they might not even suspect Hanchuan Shenliu.
The thought alone sends chills down my spine.
Kenji Hagiwara coughed. "Well, being a police officer is about upholding justice and protecting everyone's daily lives, not about doing it for yourself..."
How can you resign just because you're not satisfied with torturing prisoners? The instructor onizuka who approved your admission to the police academy would cry if he knew your reason for resigning!
Bo Yezaki reduced his suspicion level and decided to stop while he was ahead: "I know, so I also think that I'm probably not suited to be a policeman."
Sato Miwako quickly said, "Don't doubt yourself, Kankawa-kun! Everyone trusts you! You're perfect for being a policeman!"
Shiratori Ninzaburo also said, "Kanakawa-kun, you're too hard on yourself. Actually, you're a pretty good policeman..."
His colleagues, who had just heard the dangerous remarks made by Hanchuan Shenliu, couldn't wait to praise him, and it seemed that Hanchuan Shenliu was about to be hailed as a model policeman in their mouths.
Good heavens, this boasting was so over the top that even Bo Yezaki couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't any of you have any work to do today?"
His colleagues then dispersed, looking rather embarrassed.
No one meant anything by it; they just shared the same concern as Instructor Onizuka, who worried that if they didn't accept Shinryu, he would go astray. They were afraid that if Shinryu didn't become a policeman, he might suddenly lose all sense of decency...
They believed that Hanchuan Shenliu wouldn't do anything when he was a policeman, but after what Hanchuan Shenliu just said, they began to suspect that he might suddenly be able to do anything now that he wasn't a policeman. They didn't know whether this was trust or distrust.
At this moment, everyone in the First Investigation Division was filled with hostility towards the guy who wanted to take revenge on Shinryu Sugikawa.
It's because of this guy that Han Chuan Shenliu felt that being a police officer was easy to be bullied, which made him want to resign! He's really doing a lot of harm!!!
What if the world loses one policeman but gains one more crime emperor? Can you bear that responsibility?!
Kenji Hagiwara was a little worried that if the criminal bumped into Shinryu Samakawa's hand, he might die from an "accident."
Before even writing the letter to provoke him, Hanchuan Shenliu already disliked this guy. When asked if he had any ideas, he said there was no need. It turns out he chose the path to hell when there was one... Isn't it better to be alive?
After work that day, Kenji Hagiwara drove home with Saiki Usaba. On one hand, it was to have an extra person on hand in case the criminal came looking for him, and on the other hand, it was to save the criminal's life in a critical moment.
While Kenji Hagiwara was cooking, Saiki Usaba slipped into her room, locked the door, switched to her original body, and used the [Universal Navigation] to search for keywords.
[People who wrote to me within a week].
There's no other way. Since this guy has already dared to cause trouble, he must be hiding his whereabouts very well. The police won't be able to find anything in a short time, so it's better to rely on ourselves.
The reliable [Universal Navigation] immediately pinpointed the other party's location to him.
Sure enough, he's still in Tokyo, and judging from his name, he's the same bomber who was yelling a few years ago that the Japanese police were hopeless.
Bo Yezhai seemed to be deep in thought.
Under Japanese law, if he's caught again this time and a few people still don't die, he might be released in a few years, and then he might go back to taking revenge on society...
But if we wait until more people die before making arrests, although the sentences will be heavier, the dead will be too innocent. Most importantly, even if that happens, it's highly unlikely to be the death penalty, which is completely disproportionate.
...Hmm, secretly, behind the backs of these policemen, let's think of a way to solve this once and for all.

.
If it were the police academy team, they definitely wouldn't do something like this. Bo Yexin is just too dirty (...).
.
Han Chuan's police colleagues trusted him: He was a good cop, but if he stopped being a cop, he might not be a good person anymore...
.
And while it was said to be testing suspicion, what Han Chuan said actually reflected Bo Ye's true thoughts; he genuinely didn't want to be a policeman anymore.
