When Tetsuya Kamiya was taken hostage, Naoki Wakatake was playing the role of a robber.

This is a storage room where all kinds of medical equipment are placed. It is located in the farthest corner of the hospital. It is full of dust and you can hear the rustling of cockroaches. Generally, no one passes by.

Wearing a black windbreaker and frameless glasses that couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes, the young man was holding a gun to the head of a doctor on duty, pressing the latter against the door.

"I'll give you one last chance. Which room is the patient named Kamiya Tetsuya in your hospital?"

The doctor who was brought to the warehouse with a gun pointed at his waist while on duty was so scared that he almost cried. He said with trembling legs, "Really, sir, our hospital really did not accept this patient."

God, if he is given another chance, he will definitely not agree to switch shifts with Takata! Where did this desperado come from?

The doctor thought, if he really died alive, he would definitely report the name "Kamiya Tetsuya". This guy turned out to be a murderer!

"No." Wakatake Naoki's eyes were fierce, and his hands on the doctor's shoulders tightened, causing the doctor's face to twist in pain. He said firmly, "There is a hospital nearby that cooperates with the police. Let me ask you, do you want a confidentiality agreement or your life?"

The doctor on duty took out his cell phone with a slight tremor, and almost cried, "Really, there is nothing. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."

"The hospital has never admitted any seriously ill patients recently, but because it's the flu season, there are many people suffering from headaches and fevers."

Naoki Wakatake held the person down with one hand and flipped through the list handed over by the doctor with the other hand. He flipped through the records from a month ago, but there was no name of "Kamiya Tetsuya".

The black-haired young man took a deep breath and hit the doctor on the back of his neck with the butt of his gun. The doctor straightened his body and fainted on the spot.

"How could there be nothing..." Wakatake Naoki took out a cigarette from his arms, struck a stick and lit it, then casually pressed the burning stick onto the doctor's clean white coat. He held the cigarette in his mouth and let his eyes become misty.

Ten years ago, Naoki Wakatake didn't smoke, but after becoming an undercover police officer and learning from his senior's Bacardi, he became an old smoker who could smoke a lot of cigarettes a day.

Long-term lack of sleep, work fatigue, and mental pressure have turned Naoki Wakatake from a high-level elite into a gloomy man that pedestrians avoid when they walk on the street.

This image is indeed terrible, but fortunately, the seniors can't remember what he looked like before, so naturally they won't make a comparison and don't know how horrible he has become over the years.

Since meeting Kamiya Tetsuya on a rainy night, Wakatake Naoki has looked up a lot of information, including the open surveillance area around there and the movements within the police station.

From the surveillance footage along the way, it was shown that Tetsuya Kamiya was indeed walking aimlessly in the rain. It did not seem as if he was being chased by someone. It seemed as if he had really lost his memory and was confused about the direction he was going.

The traces of disguise on his body were not obvious. Except for the change of hair, everything else was the same as ten years ago.

But the Liqueur Senior from ten years ago… was never so helpless. He always looked calm and composed. Even when he was targeted by the BOSS, he did not show any emotional fluctuations. Instead, he calmly thought about how to fight back.

Although Kamiya Tetsuya failed in his assassination attempt on the boss, Wakatake Naoki never thought that Liqueur was inadequate. What he resented was that he could not help, and that he became a breakthrough for his senior.

When he thought about how things became like this because of his predecessor, Naoki Wakatake couldn't help but tremble with his hands. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and tried hard not to let the tears in his eyes fall.

Those hooligans were experienced people who roamed the alleys. It was normal for them to attack in the middle of the night. They did not intentionally surround Tetsuya Kamiya.

Therefore, Liqueur Senior may have really lost his memory. He doesn't recognize who Naoki Wakatake is, so he naturally can't leave with a pervert who will shoot on the road.

Wakatake Naoki slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, secretly regretting in his heart that if he had not been overwhelmed by his emotions at the time and rushed up to say so many incomprehensible words to his senior who was full of confusion and fear, but had discovered this, then the senior would not have run into the police station in a panic.

However, judging from the relatively peaceful working environment of the police, Tetsuya Kamiya's true identity has not been discovered, and the policeman should not have found out the real information of Tetsuya Kamiya.

Naoki Wakatake confirmed that Tetsuya Kamiya was sent to the hospital because he had been waiting at the door.

However, the doctor said that there was no such person as Tetsuya Kamiya among those sent to the hospital.

Naoki Wakatake couldn't help but look through the list again and threw his phone down in anxiety. Could it be that his senior really had forgotten even their names?

Damn it, if my senior was under strict police surveillance, the consequences would be disastrous!

There were also the movements of the BOSS. For some reason these days, the gentleman in the organization had gone crazy and given him tasks that almost filled up all of his rest time, as if he would work himself to death as long as he was not exhausted.

If Naoki Taketake found time to come to the hospital, it would be considered a desperate move.

"Since the senior is no longer in his hands, there is no need for me to be polite to him. Sooner or later, I will kill that old guy myself." The young man, who had turned into a bloodthirsty jackal, muttered to himself, "It is more important to find the senior now..."

But the clues from the hospital have been cut off, so where should we start the investigation?

Wakatake Naoki thought for a moment, turned on his cell phone, dialed a number, and after the ring, the other party picked up.

"Bourbon." Naoki Wakatake said coldly, "When are you free? I think we can meet."

Bourbon's voice came from the phone: "Sorry, I have too many tasks recently, so I don't have time to chat with you for the time being... Let me guess, is it because of the liqueur?"

The corners of Ruozhu Zhishu's mouth turned down again, and he said, "I know you already know what's going on over there. Tell me what you know."

The other party's voice also turned cold: "Don't try to threaten me. Even if you have something on me, it doesn't mean I have no power to fight back."

"Now, you need my help!"

"We can exchange, just tell me your conditions." Wakatake Naoki said crisply, "You are all vicious dogs who expose your heart. I don't want to talk to you any more."

Naoki Wakatake knew that Bourbon was an undercover agent sent by the police, and would not touch him for the sake of liqueur, and Bourbon also knew what his weakness was. If the two were to confront each other, there would be no result except that both would suffer losses.

"I do know some information, but it will take time to find out the details." Bourbon's tone softened. "How about this? You give me all the information about the police movements in Nagano Prefecture, and help me investigate a member of the organization. I'll help you investigate the liqueur matter."

"As far as I know, your good predecessor has changed his name and is now with the police."

When this matter was mentioned, Ruozhu Zhishu was so angry that his teeth itched. He suppressed his anger and said, "Deal!"

놙I was almost there, and Senior could follow him!

He, Naoki Wakatake, is much better than that curly-haired gorilla!

The young man was so furious that he punched the warehouse door, leaving a dent.

Bourbon chuckled and hung up the phone.

Soon, a message from Bourbon came to Naoki Wakatake's mobile phone.

"Aberdeen Angus? A fine liqueur?" Naoki Wakatake stared at the young man with heterochromia playing fishing in the photo and slowly read out his code name.

Although the young man was dressed very thickly and his face was covered by a mask and glasses, Wakatake Naoki still felt a strange sense of familiarity in his heart, and every cell in his body was filled with a feeling of pleasure.

But this feeling only occurs to liqueur predecessors. Could it be that this so-called Angus has something to do with liqueur predecessors?

It’s actually a type of liqueur!

Naoki Wakatake felt that he was jealous to the point of being deformed. He really wanted to change his code name. Why did "Bacardi" belong to Rum's faction?

[This guy came back from abroad. He is suspected to be a direct subordinate of the boss. He has great authority, a bad personality, and will take revenge for any slight. His weakness is suspected to be color blindness. He is strong in cold weapons, but I don't know how to use hot weapons. Be careful when you try to test him. - Bourbon]

[Are you sure he is from the BOSS faction? —Bacardi]

[Confirmed, the other party's purpose of going to the arcade is unknown, but according to investigation, Gin was also trading there at the time, so there may be a connection between the two. - Bourbon]

[Received, the information will be sent to you later. ——Bacardi]

Wakatake Naoki felt even more conflicted when he saw the screen showing that it was the BOSS faction.

This is unacceptable... The senior and the boss have reached the point where they can no longer coexist, so why does he have such a strange feeling towards the people in the boss's camp?

Naoki Wakatake has always hated people from the BOSS faction the most. He would even feel sick and want to vomit when he saw rum. As for liqueur, as soon as he saw his senior's face, even if Naoki Wakatake's brain hasn't reacted yet, his body would give him feedback in advance.

Therefore, just by looking at the photo, he developed an indescribable liking for Angus, who belonged to the BOSS camp, and Naoki Wakatake fell directly into incomprehensible self-blame.

But before he could feel sad for a few minutes, Bourbon released the information he knew so far, which was a medical certificate for the disguised liqueur, and the name written on it was "Kobayashi Akira".

When he saw the photo, Naoki Wakatake still felt very happy.

He put the two pictures together and compared them, and fell into a strange state of sadness and happiness.

"...This is unreasonable." The young man muttered as he opened the warehouse door and walked out.

He had seen the name Kobayashi Akira on the list of doctors on duty, so he needed to go to the front desk to confirm it. The senior would not just disappear into thin air.

Since Bourbon's attitude is so calm, it means that the police didn't find any big problems with the senior. Before going to find the memory of the senior, Naoki Wakatake feels that he has to meet the guy named Angus first.

Tetsuya Kamiya really didn't know that Bacardi would have a radar function similar to Haibara Ai, and the opponent's radar was limited to himself. He was sitting in his seat at this moment, looking at the arrogant looks of the robbers.

The entire restaurant became much quieter, and Kamiya Tetsuya could hear many people sobbing uncontrollably, as well as the slightly heavy breathing of Matsuda Jinpei, who was sitting across from him.

Because of the fever and the overwhelming impact of the two cases, his brain was like a rusty machine, and he was a little confused for a while. When he heard the robbers asked him to be a hostage, Tetsuya Kamiya's first reaction was - Great, no need to be a suspect!

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Why are you in a daze?" Seeing that Kamiya Tetsuya didn't react, the man holding the gun walked over and pulled off his mask.

The young man's frail, pale face was revealed, with an abnormal flush caused by the fever. His confused light-gold eyes did not show any fear of the robbers, but rather a strange excitement.

Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but speak up: "I can replace you hostages. I'm a police officer. If you want to leave safely, it will be safer if you hold me!"

Ordinary people are replaceable, and robbers usually choose more specific targets. When Jinpei Matsuda revealed that he was a policeman, he was hinting to the robbers that he could help gain more benefits.

When the robber heard the word "police", he immediately turned his eyes to him and asked: "You said you are a policeman, where is your police ID?"

Just as Matsuda Jinpei was about to take his ID from his pocket, he saw the robber turned around and put his gun to Kamiya Tetsuya's neck. He sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? No matter if you are a policeman or not, I don't believe you will follow me quietly after you kidnap a strong man - this is your friend? He looks good."

Of course, there are disadvantages to self-destruction. If the robbers are not confident in their own abilities, they will naturally choose to attack the weak according to the original plan.

Jinpei Matsuda was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so the robbers couldn't see his expression, but there was no doubt that his face turned completely cold when the robbers said provocative words.

Kamiya Tetsuya was too serious. In terms of affection, he was his friend and the savior of his childhood friend Hagiwara Kenji. In terms of logic, he was a major breakthrough in defeating that dark organization. In terms of police responsibility, he could not bear to see a person with a fever being treated like this.

If Tetsuya Kamiya really fainted during the hostage-taking, whether the robbers would choose to abandon the hostage would become a very tricky question.

However, the number of robbers is currently unknown. In order to ensure the safety of other people, Matsuda Jinpei will not act rashly.

놚It would be nice if Tetsuya Kamiya could recover some of his memories now. Liqueur's fighting skills should be pretty good, right? Or maybe it triggered a personality switch? He remembered that "Kamiya Akiaki" was very powerful.

Would smashing the glass work now? Temporarily unable to move, Jinpei Matsuda was caught in an anxious brainstorm.

When someone pressed his neck, Kamiya Tetsuya almost instinctively grabbed the robber away. Fortunately, he still remembered his settings and slowly raised his head and said to the robber, "Can you give me the mask?"

"You're making me a condition?"

Kamiya Tetsuya couldn't pretend to be scared, so he pretended to be innocent: "I have a cold and refuse to be infected by droplets."

Robber: “…”

This reason is very true, but in this environment, it seems like a deliberate joke.

Thinking that the man was about to be burned to death, the robber impatiently threw the mask to him without saying anything more. After Kamiya Tetsuya put on the mask, he took the man hostage to the door.

Only then did Tetsuya Kamiya see the situation clearly.

There was a man with a gun blocking the door. The rest of the customers on this floor had already fled, leaving the floor empty. One of the robbers in the restaurant began to search and rob each person, while the other also waited at the door.

At one time, it was formed:

Robbers Robbers

Kamiya Tetsuya the Robber

The robber Matsuda Jinheito - this formation.

Tetsuya Kamiya was taken to the center of the place, so if he made any rash moves, the surrounding robbers could easily intercept him.

But this is not the point. The point is where is the bomb?

Tetsuya Kamiya gave up the fight because he thought he had no chance of dying. He let the robbers threaten him and went straight to the forum to look for clues in the comics.

As expected, the comic has been updated, and this chapter seems to involve some important nodes. The old thief did not limit his perspective, but also drew the dynamics of other places in the Rice Flower Building.

The scrambled egg porridge restaurant where Tetsuya Kamiya worked was on the second floor. Fearing that they would be shot by the robbers if they ran, the people on the fourth and fifth floors did not flee the rice flower building, but hid in various places. The people on the first floor were lucky enough to rush into the building, and were replaced by the police who rushed in after hearing the news.

Tetsuya Kamiya didn't look closely, but judging from the realism of the old thief's painting, there were at least several hundred people in the building.

If it were just these four robbers, with Matsuda and his cooperation, there wouldn't be many casualties. But if there was a bomber secretly blowing up the building, then there would be a big problem.

Tetsuya Kamiya has a complicated view on "staying alive". Although he kills people quite often, if hundreds of lives are at stake, he will still hesitate a little and choose a more troublesome way to save some people.

For example, when Amanouchi Riko told him with bright eyes that it was great to be alive...

Tetsuya Kamiya cannot be as indifferent to ordinary people as Gin. He believes more in the principle of defense, that is, enemies can be killed but ordinary people can be ignored.

Of course, he respects everyone who desires to survive and is not hostile to him.

Anyway, the police have arrived on the first floor. In addition to old acquaintances such as Inspector Megure, there is also Kenji Hagiwara who rushed over after receiving the message from Jinpei Matsuda. He is now standing among the police officers of the Investigation Section 1 and does not seem to be out of place.

I guess after they have come up with a solution, they should go upstairs and make the call.

Tetsuya Kamiya quickly flipped through the comics, skipping the plots related to the restaurant, and finally found clues of the bomber in a small frame.
