Chapter 12 Dangerous Resort Hotel 3

Akiyama Kanade pulled Masada Naoto out of the utility room again. The guy reeked of alcohol and even snored a few times.

Akiyama Kanade pinched the other person's nose and called "Wake up" several times, but there was no response. He took the mop bucket from the bathroom next door, filled it with water and splashed it on his face. He actually wiped his face, turned over and continued to sleep.

Akiyama Kanade had no choice but to kick him back to the storage room. He closed the door, walked a few steps, and then went back to collect the iris that had fallen on the ground.

He closed the door and walked a few steps, then went back to find a key and locked the door.

In fact, even if Naoto Masada came out to clarify, Takeo Itami might not believe it. He has already assumed that his daughter was harmed by him, and the clarification of the perpetrator will only be regarded as a sweet talk. Moreover, the truth of the matter is not clear. If it is really Naoto Masada who did it, it will probably further stimulate the criminal.

The most urgent task is to find and dismantle the bomb first. Otherwise, if the bomb is too powerful, it is likely to cause a large number of casualties.

Akiyama Kanade himself has died before, so he knows the value of life. He hopes to do as much as possible to reduce casualties within his ability.

When the time comes, the follow-up excuse will be to deal with the mole and keep the clues, which will not go against the character of the Cherry Organization as a bad guy.

Amuro Toru stayed at the second floor corridor ready to snipe the criminals at any time, while Akiyama Kanade went to the third floor with Matsuda Jinpei to search for bombs. Matsuda Jinpei found two intercoms at the service desk on the fourth floor of the hotel, one in his hand and one for Amuro Toru, so that the two could communicate at any time.

Kanade Akiyama felt that there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between Jinpei Matsuda and Toru Amuro. Before the two began to search separately, he asked, "Do Mr. Matsuda and Toru know each other?"

Matsuda Jinpei pushed down his sunglasses and chuckled, "No, this is the first time we meet."

"But there was a feeling of familiarity from the first sight, with him and with you."

The man's eyes behind his sunglasses were somewhat probing and somewhat stern. Akiyama Kanade met his gaze, raised his hand and pulled down the brim of his hat, and the ruby ​​color was immediately swallowed up by darkness.

“…Is that so?”

He turned around and walked further into the corridor.

There were more than a dozen rooms on the third floor, just above the lobby. Matsuda Jinpei contacted Hagiwara Chisatsu and asked the hotel staff who were still able to move to give him two universal room cards.

Upon learning that he was going to investigate the bomb, Hagiwara Chisura was somewhat reluctant.

Matsuda Jinpei sighed helplessly, "I am a police officer in the explosives disposal team. If I let this bomb hurt someone here, how can I be worthy of the cherry blossom on the police badge?"

Hagiwara Chisu had no choice but to compromise, "...be careful."

"Don't worry, it'll be okay," he said soothingly.

The two were lucky. When Akiyama Kanade checked the third room, he found the installed bomb under the bed. The LCD screen on the bomb showed a countdown of 00:03, and the countdown was stopped at this time.

Once Takeo Itami pressed the detonator, it would reset the timer and explode in three seconds.

Akiyama Kanade called Matsuda Jinpei to this room. He had already moved the bed away, and Matsuda Jinpei said, "You are really strong."

This kind of bed is very heavy, even a well-trained policeman would have to work hard to lift it. But the young man in black didn't seem to feel anything.

Hearing the compliment, he snorted with pride, "I have received professional training." He gestured to move bricks, "I can move ten people's worth of bricks a day. The foreman likes me very much."

Having said that, if he hadn't been really broke at that time, he wouldn't have gone to work odd jobs on construction sites - but he could experience life and improve his acting skills at the same time, which was a win-win situation.

Thanks to the compassionate Japanese police for helping him get the money back.

Jinpei Matsuda was also surprised when he heard Akiyama Sou talk about his experience of moving bricks. According to his speculation, Rei's gang should be doing undercover work, and Akiyama Sou guessed that he was a member of his undercover organization. So the question is, where did Rei go undercover? Construction company?

In his mind, Jinpei Matsuda imagined Rei Furuya wearing a white vest, a towel around his neck, grunting as he moved bricks.

Ah, I feel like he is surprisingly suitable for this image. What should I do?

Amuro Toru sneezed and answered the intercom. The two people on the other end were chattering about something, sometimes "brick" and sometimes "towel". He lowered his voice and said, "There's a situation here."

The sound of the loudspeaker echoed in the empty hall.

"I am the famous detective Maori Kogoro. Let me tell you the truth about what happened five years ago."

Akiyama Kanade and Matsuda Jinpei also heard the voices from the other side through the intercom. Matsuda Jinpei was half squatting on the ground, concentrating on defusing the bomb. Akiyama Kanade held the intercom farther away to avoid disturbing him.

Come to think of it, Mr. Maori usually looks unreliable, but he is surprisingly reliable at critical moments.

And the purity of his soul seems pretty good too.

Well, he can be listed as a customer option. If there are new products in the future, you can consider him.

Akiyama Kanade still doesn't understand how this supermarket works. There are only three items on the shelves, not even as many as the items in the non-sale warehouse.

And the strange thing is that as a salesperson, he can use anything in the warehouse, but he cannot use anything on the shelves.

He originally wanted to test the effect of the product himself, so he killed a duck and poured the resurrection water on it, but he received a warning.

[You do not have permission]

[Please purchase the product before use]

Akiyama Kanade fell silent.

If you don't try something like Revitalizing Water first, you'll be really unsure. What if it's a fake or inferior product?

But considering that there are enough magical things in the warehouse, the revitalizing water should not be adulterated, right? It would be too much to steal someone's soul and then adulterate it.

Later, he used his tears to make the duck that died heroically into Chinese roast duck. It was very delicious.

Akiyama Kanade collected her chaotic thoughts. On the other end of the intercom, Maori Kogoro was saying that the case five years ago had nothing to do with Masada Naoto.

The angry roars of the prisoners could still be heard.

"Then why was my daughter the only one who died in the explosion? She was only 20 years old!!"

"That's because she was the first to discover the bomb and she saved everyone at the time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was filled with outrage.

Itami Takeo was also stunned, "What... is going on?"

Kogoro Mori's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"She was a hero, but no one knew it. When Miss Itami discovered the time bomb, she quickly notified the police and then helped evacuate the crowd with the hotel staff. There were only a few minutes left before the bomb exploded. When she fled downstairs, she happened to find a little girl's leg caught in the seam of the sofa."

"The little girl's family was not around, and Ms. Itami tried to pull her legs out, but it was too late," said Maori Kogoro, whose voice paused and added a bit of heaviness. "At the last moment, she used her body to protect the little girl."

"They were far away from the center of the explosion. Unfortunately, Miss Itami was hit on the head by flying rocks from the explosion, but the little girl had a chance of survival because of her protection."

"Ms. Itami is a hero." As Maori Kogoro spoke solemnly, Itami Takero gradually burst into tears, "Because the injured girl was too shocked and suffered from aphasia, and as her parents moved away, this incident was slowly buried."

"But when I first contacted her, she had recovered and the first thing she said was, 'That sister is my hero.'"

"Mr. Itami, are you sure you want to cause a bombing that took your daughter's life in this hotel where she risked her life to protect someone?"

Itami Takeo knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. The police on standby quickly rushed over and subdued him.

The mole, who was among the crowd outside the hotel, quietly pouted when he saw this, "He's so useless. He's already equipped the bombs, but he can't show me anything interesting."

He looked toward the window on the third floor of the hotel and said, "Let me find some fun for you guys."

Toru Amuro retracted his sniper rifle and asked into the intercom, "What's going on over there?"

Matsuda Jinpei laughed and said, "We'll demolish it in three minutes. We can tell the police here that they don't need to come up."

Toru Amuro laughed - this guy is still the same, he hasn't changed after so many years.

There was a hiss on the intercom, and Toru Amuro heard Akiyama Kanade's urgent voice, "Matsuda, stay away from the bomb!"

Tick-tock

It's the sound of the bomb counting down again.

Toru Amuro's mind was suddenly confused. The three seconds seemed to be extended infinitely. He seemed to be running in the corridor, but he could not hear any sound.

There was a loud bang and an explosion.

The walkie-talkie fell to the ground and there was no sound from the other end.

Toru Amuro stood blankly at the stairs, not daring to go up at all.

Mole. How could he forget the existence of this person? He didn't know about Matsuda at all, and he had no way to prevent it.

But how could he forget.

Perhaps because he had been standing there for too long, he heard the commotion from downstairs getting closer. Amuro was surprised that he could still hide his sniper rifle calmly at this time.

As an undercover agent, you must always stay calm.

A passing police officer mistook him for an ordinary member of the crowd and asked him to evacuate quickly.

Amuro Toru heard himself ask in a dry voice: "What are the casualties from the explosion?"

The man looked at him and kindly explained, "The bomb exploded outside the window. There is a secluded beach below. Because something happened at the hotel, the people on the beach were evacuated early, so there were no casualties."

Wait, explosion outside the window?

Toru Amuro realized something and rushed up to the third floor in two steps. The impact of the bomb also broke the door of that room. Toru Amuro walked in slowly.

Matsuda Jinpei was half-kneeling on the ground, his face covered in dust. His skin was always white, but the dust on his face looked even dirtier. Akiyama Kanade was half-lying against the wall in front of him, his black hat brim covering half of his face. He raised his head when he heard the voice.

There was a scratch across the face, and bright red blood dripped down the snow-white chin.

His clothes became tattered, and blood and ashes mixed together, making the crack-like scars on his skin less obvious.

Matsuda Jinpei explained: "Before the countdown started, Akiyama kicked it out. He was injured by the impact of the explosion. I was protected by this guy, so I was fine. But he..."

The young man in black was leaning against the wall and could not be seen, but the most serious injury was actually on his back. It was bloody and mangled. Noticing that Toru Amuro's eyes fell on him, Akiyama Kanade silently gathered his clothes again.

Amuro Toru let out a deep breath, "I'll go call a doctor."

Qiu Shan Zou quickly stopped him and said, "No, it's okay. I'll be fine tomorrow."

Matsuda Jinpei didn't quite agree, especially since the other party was injured while saving him. "You're injured so badly!" He was a little angry with himself, "I'd better go and call for help."

Akiyama Kanade couldn't stop him.

He knew his body. He was already dead, and the state of his body was fixed. The current disability was only temporary and he would be able to recover by tomorrow at the latest.

But this time the injuries were quite serious. It seemed that several bones in his body were broken, and he was unable to support himself for a while.

It would be troublesome if too many people saw my recovery process.

Everyone of them has never seen a dead person before, so they are all very scared.

Akiyama Kanade decided to ask the easy-going Toru Amuro for help. After all, they were on first-name terms with each other - well, at least they were friends.

Amuro Toru saw that the black-clothed youth looked at him with a pleading look for the first time. His tone was restrained and fragile, completely different from his previous appearance. He even looked a little pitiful.

"Don't let anyone see me," he said softly.

“…Bourbon.”

Toru Amuro took off his coat and put it over his head, blocking his view.

…

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone see you."
