Chapter 95
Looking at Shiratori Ninzaburo, who looked completely bewildered and seemed to be questioning his life and even his colleagues, Usakusaiki was deeply moved.
Sure enough, the police officers I didn't know well were more generous with the suspicion level.
Aside from Officer Shima, who seemed to suffer from paranoia and whose psychological trauma caused him to distrust not only others but also himself, the other officers in the Mobile Investigation Unit seemed to have gradually gotten used to his outrageous remarks and occasional suspicious actions.
When he fired at the prisoner this time, everyone was just surprised for a moment, and then they started trying to figure out how to fool their superiors. Only Officer Shimo has been intermittently giving him a high level of suspicion... It seems he's still thinking about him even while working overtime. How hard he works.
Because there was less and less suspicion that could be extracted from other people, Usaba Saiki looked at Shiratori Ninzaburo with great satisfaction.
Great job! Very energetic! Keep it up!
He shouldn't limit himself to the mobile search team; he should meet more outsiders.
He had misunderstood before, always thinking that the Mobile Investigation Unit (MIU) would encounter more cases a day and accumulate more suspicion points. Now it seems that the MIU deals with too many trivial matters and has to spend the whole day in the car. Although the First Investigation Division doesn't handle as many cases on average, it doesn't have to travel so much! It also helps eliminate minor cases that are not useful. The starting point is assault cases, isn't that great?
Usakabe released the police officer from his grasp and looked around at the people around him as if they were cows that would keep generating suspicion in him.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines from the stare.
Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was given the most suspicion, was particularly horrified by the look.
This feeling of being watched...
Shiratori Ninzaburo forced a smile, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "So you're all on the same side. Sorry, I was a little sensitive because of what happened earlier..."
Kenji Hagiwara, displaying high emotional intelligence, chimed in, "It's alright, Fukaru is just overreacting a bit."
Bo Yezaki didn't contradict him; he simply nodded coolly to the side, acknowledging his opinion.
The partner who had just tried to ambush him got up, grimacing and rubbing his arms and back. He carefully put away the handcuffs that had somehow been unlocked and stood next to Shiratori Ninzaburo, trying to make up for his mistake. He then enthusiastically interjected, "So, are you two from Section 4?"
Organized crime countermeasures, or simply "group countermeasures," often involve recruiting burly men and police officers who don't look like good people, and sending them out to infiltrate various yakuza organizations as spies.
Although these two have a different style than the people he's seen in the Fourth Division before, it's normal for the yakuza to be looking for highly educated people now, and for the police to follow suit and no longer blindly look for stereotypical people.
His partner convinced himself that he had given the ladder just right, and that he was a master at easing tensions.
However, upon hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara's smile froze on his face: "…………"
The policeman who had come to the rescue coughed and said with a speechless expression, "Um, Hagiwara used to be in our explosives disposal unit, and now he's an assistant instructor at the police academy. I think Kanakawa is in the Mobile Investigation Unit..."
Others: "…………"
A naive guess from her partner plunged the atmosphere, which had just eased a little, back into awkwardness.
Because if they guessed correctly, they could at least use a compliment like "As expected of the fourth team" to get away with it, but now it's like they're just emphasizing again that "you guys don't look like good people".
Fortunately, Matsuda Jinpei finally understood the situation and came out from behind the police line. Looking at the commotion, he was very puzzled: "What's going on? Why are you all pulling out your guns? Have you found the criminal?"
Kenji Hagiwara gave a weak, dry laugh: "There was a little misunderstanding."
Matsuda Jinpei quickly realized what was going on.
Since it was just a car explosion and no one was hurt, which was much better than he had expected, he was now a little more relaxed and even had the mood to make a joke: "I told you earlier that following this guy around was like being a strategist, but you didn't believe me."
Hagiwara Kenji facepalmed.
Matsuda Jinpei greeted Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was sizing him up: "Bomb Disposal Team, Matsuda Jinpei. The three of us happened to be nearby and came to check out the situation after hearing the commotion."
Shiratori Ninzaburo still had the arrogance of an elite detective and didn't like outsiders interfering in the cases he was in charge of: "Since you're still on vacation, you don't need to worry about this case anymore. Go enjoy your vacation. Our First Investigation Division will take care of it."
This is a very tactful way of putting it, implying that since the case has nothing to do with them, they should stop loitering around the area.
Moreover, without asking anything else, he deduced from the fact that these three people, who had different positions, were on vacation by coming together, which was also a small demonstration of his abilities.
Kenji Hagiwara, who was somewhat concerned about the case, glanced at Jinpei Matsuda.
Among them, only Matsuda Jinpei, being a member of the explosives disposal unit, had any right to request to stay. If Matsuda Jinpei wanted to participate in this case, he could help persuade him...
“There are too many people,” Bo Yezai suddenly said. “Does this case need so many police officers?”
Shiratori Ninzaburo was taken aback, almost thinking that Usakuya Saiki was being sarcastic, but recalling the expression on his face when he looked around earlier, he hesitated for a moment before answering: "Because the last case was too big, with crimes against the police and explosions, we called more people as a precaution after receiving the report."
“…So that’s why the culprit didn’t put the trap on the corpse this time, but instead planted the bomb in the car.” Usakata Saiki said thoughtfully.
Shiratori Ninzaburo felt as if something had flashed through his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it. He asked somewhat anxiously, "What do you mean? What do you know? What does this have to do with the number of people?"
Matsuda Jinpei shared the information he had just received: "This time, not only was there a 'Handle with Care' note still stuck to the body, but there was also one on a nearby utility pole. A cell phone was stuck on it, and when the police received a call, the person on the other end said something like, 'It's not about the money, it's just to let the whole world know how incompetent the police are.'"
"Yes, that's it."
It was as if Shiratori Ninzaburo had some kind of buff; as soon as the people around him started making deductions, he would subconsciously join in, even forgetting that his original purpose was to drive away these people who weren't from the First Investigation Division.
"The prisoner harbors a deep hatred for the police, I don't know why. Could it be some kind of wrongful conviction? Should we have someone check on those recently released from prison..."
"Need not."
Usoppei interrupted him.
Shiratori Renzaburo was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask why, he saw the other person suddenly brush past him and walk in a certain direction.
The young man was walking briskly, yet he still exuded a calm and elegant demeanor. However, as he moved forward, the atmosphere around him gradually became sharp and dangerous, sending chills down the spines of those around him.
Shiratori Ninzaburo was completely stunned—it seemed that Kanekawa Shinryu was actually in a relaxed state just now; otherwise, if the other party had been like this, he would never have dared to be so reckless.
Why all of a sudden? Has he already discovered the culprit?! So quickly?! He didn't even go to the scene to investigate! He was just outside the police cordon!
Under Shiratori Ninzaburo's incredulous yet seemingly inexplicable gaze, someone in the direction that Sugikawa Shinryu was heading suddenly turned and fled as if unable to withstand the oppressive feeling.
When everyone is barely moving, at most just making way, if someone suddenly runs away in the opposite direction, it's obviously obvious and they'll be immediately apprehended by those nearby.
Han Chuan Shenliu happened to walk over, took out handcuffs, and cuffed the person.
Kenji Hagiwara, who had come with him and was helping to hold him down, suddenly looked at his handcuffs with a puzzled expression: "Where did these handcuffs come from? Didn't you leave in a hurry and not even put on a coat?"
It's one thing that the handcuffs were just taken directly from the person who attacked them, but how did another pair of handcuffs suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Han Chuan Shenliu: "That young master."
Shiratori Ninzaburo, who arrived a step too late: "...???"
He quickly touched his waist and found that his handcuffs were indeed gone!
Ah! Could it be that fleeting moment just now! That brush past me! Such a fast move! He didn't even feel it!
Even the Phantom Thief Kid, who suddenly disappeared two years ago, is no better than this!
Does the Metropolitan Police Department still teach this? He attended the Metropolitan Police Department's academy, so he doesn't really know much about this.
The handcuffed suspect was still struggling: "Let go! Why are you arresting me! You have no evidence!"
Han Chuan Shenliu stepped on his head, propped his knee with his elbow, leaned forward, and applied pressure: "Desperate struggle."
Just now, his partner, who was simply kneeling on his waist, witnessed this scene and shuddered. He felt that he was actually being treated very well and there was no need to feel dissatisfied.
Kenji Hagiwara coughed and said, "There are outsiders here, so be careful."
Han Chuan Shenliu pulled his feet back and stood up straight again: "It was him. He's not a policeman at all, but he was wearing a police uniform so he could sneak near the police car and plant a bomb."
Shiratori Ninzaburo was dumbfounded... Is this how the police behave?! And this police academy assistant instructor, all you said was, "Be careful with outsiders around"?! Does that mean it's okay to do this when there are no outsiders around?!
If the police were so shocked, the criminals who had been trampled by Han Chuan Shen Liu must have been even more shocked.
The prisoner's struggling movements froze for a moment, then he struggled even harder. Knowing he couldn't explain why he was at the scene wearing a fake police uniform, and that the evidence was readily available during a home search, he simply gave up and shouted, "Why! Why can someone like you get into police academy! But I failed! Why?!"
Kenji Hagiwara was taken aback: "...Huh? You even took the police academy entrance exam?!"
Oh no, will tomorrow's headlines really be "A promising young man turns to crime after being rejected by police academy"?!
"That's right! I used to want to be a policeman! But you guys rejected me... Hehehe... Forget it! Policemen aren't any good anyway, and I don't want to be one anymore..."
Shiratori Ninzaburo's pupils dilated in shock. He looked at the prisoner, then at the nearby Kanekawa Shinryu.
—Who are these people taking the police academy entrance exam these days?!

The next chapter will focus on the organization... Actually, according to the timeline in the story, Bo Ye just called Akai and Scotland yesterday...
.
The prisoner's reasoning left me speechless when I watched the show. If that's acceptable, what if he didn't get into Harvard? Was he going to assassinate the Harvard president?
Then here comes the example that police academies fear most: "being rejected and then becoming a criminal."
