"Brother!" Zhu Fu Jingguang shouted as soon as he saw Noel's figure, which also attracted the attention of the policewoman next to him.

"Xiao Guang," Noel naturally did not ignore the policewoman next to Morobushi Jingguang, and recognized her identity at a glance, Officer Sato!

"Sorry, it's my brother." Noel immediately came to Morobushi Jingguang and explained.

Although the two men didn't look much alike, the fact that they were wearing the same style of hoodies and that Morobushi Kagemitsu quickly ran into the other's arms didn't make Officer Sato think too much.

"You can't just leave your brother here..." Officer Sato couldn't help but teach him. She guessed that the brothers came to the amusement park to have fun on the weekend, but it was still dangerous to leave their brother alone to buy ice cream.

While curled up in Noel's arms, Morobu Kagemitsu keenly heard the plainclothes policeman next to Sato reporting the situation through the intercom.

"The tourists were in a stable mood and no incidents occurred."

"The bomb has been successfully defused."

"Um."

"Officer Sato!" A passerby in police uniform came up to Sato and said:

"The higher-ups asked for a check on everyone's identity, since the bomber hasn't been found yet."

"I understand." Sato said with a headache: "You two, stand in line obediently, you can leave soon."

Noel immediately nodded obediently and walked into the crowd holding Morobushi Jingguang.

"Don't worry, I don't think anyone will recognize you." Noel looked at Zhufu Jingguang curled up in his arms, feeling a little at a loss.

"Do you smell of blood?" Zhufu Jingguang's voice was a little muffled because he was curled up in Noel's arms.

"Oh, it's a scratch." Noel answered casually, and stretched out one arm. There was obviously a scabbed wound on it, and there were inevitably some bloodstains on the sleeve next to it.

[This is so fake, it looks like he drew it himself. Don’t forget that he is a professional policeman! ]

【Obviously in the anime...】

[At this time, please rely on real experience rather than anime experience! 】

During this period of time, Zhufu Jingguang knew a lot about Grappa's physical condition. At least after the other party came back covered in blood, there was not a single wound on his body. His amazing recovery ability was several times that of a normal person.

But obviously, it's not reasonable to wear long sleeves in November and get a scrape on your arm.

Morofushi Jingguang immediately thought of the other party suddenly going to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel, and suddenly disappeared, and he inevitably thought of the bomber.

No, not to mention that he would definitely be discovered if he carried a bomb, Grappa himself rarely used bombs, and mostly carried out silent assassinations, so was this a coincidence?

There were still too many doubts, and Zhu Fu Jingguang was about to sort them out carefully when he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Look who I ran into, a cartoonist?"

The police officer who had semi-long hair in compliance with the Metropolitan Police Department's rules saw the familiar boy and couldn't help but tease him, saying that it was indeed a bit unexpected to meet him twice in a row.

"Hey, uncle." Noel put the hat he had bought earlier on Zhufu Jingguang and looked up to greet him.

"Are you willing to lower your rank just to hurt me?" Hagiwara's face twitched a little when he heard this title.

Morofushi Kagemitsu snuggled in Noel's arms again and was startled when he heard the familiar tone of their voices. He knew that Hagiwara had a very outgoing personality, but it was rare to see Grappa behave like this.

"Isn't he with you?" Noel didn't see Jinpei Matsuda and his mind paused. He thought that after doing so much, he might still be killed. But judging from Hagiwara's appearance, that shouldn't be the case.

"You mean Xiao Matsuda? He was the hero who just defused the bomb and is busy receiving praise, while I am the poor one who was sent here to check the tourists?"

Hagiwara did not hide it. After all, such a big thing would definitely be reported by the TV station, so he was not leaking secrets.

"Is this your brother? Bring him out to play?"

As soon as they met, Hagiwara couldn't help but look at the little boy in Noel's arms. Unfortunately, the boy was shy and hid in his brother's arms, so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly.

"Oh, he was scared. He just needs to rest for a while." Noel knew that Zhu Fu Jingguang was worried that his classmates would recognize him. Although he felt that it was unnecessary, after all, no serious person would think of such a scientific and unscientific situation as becoming smaller.

"Okay then, you can leave." Hagiwara did not doubt anything. He took a quick look and then shifted his attention to the next target.

"This is too casual." Noel couldn't help but complain. There are quite a few underage bombers.

"The age doesn't match." Hagiwara knew that the bomber was the one who almost killed him four years ago. Not to mention the age, Noel was in the same apartment building as him at the time, and he was the least likely person to be the bomber.

"Are you familiar with them?" After walking a distance away from the amusement park, Morofushi Jingguang raised his head and asked, motioning the other party to put him down.

"We met some time ago, didn't you know that?" Noel replied, pretending to ignore the other party's gesture and hugging her tighter instead.

Morofushi Jingguang knew his peers well and knew that it was impossible for the other party to be a casual acquaintance or just a one-time meeting. It was even possible that the two of them had known each other before him.

Thinking about the time when Noel mentioned the two of them, could it really not be a threat? Zhu Fu Jingguang was somewhat shaken in his thoughts.

"You just went to buy ice cream." He continued to ask, his tone gentle but somewhat questioning.

"Yeah." Noel took it very well.

"Where's the ice cream?"

"I was squeezed out by the crowd just now," Noel immediately changed his words after successfully meeting Morobushi Jingguang's suspicious look, "Okay, I ate it."

Although Noel's lying skills have improved qualitatively, it is still difficult for him to hide the truth from Morobushi Jingguang. He immediately realized that the boy was lying and tried his best not to think in other ways.

After all, no matter how many doubts there are, Noel cannot be the bomber. Maybe he did something, or even knew the bomber's plan a long time ago, even the bomber's appearance... Morofushi Jingguang thought of the person in seat 72 of the Ferris wheel, and the scene of the police gathering under the Ferris wheel, and it can be basically confirmed that this person is the murderer.

Morofushi Jingguang gave up the idea of ​​reporting the appearance of the bomber. His body was too restricted now, and he didn't think Grappa would help him.

At the end of this trip to the park, Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't know what the gift Grappa was talking about was. He could see that Noel was in a happy mood, although he didn't know why.

———

The next day, the two watched the official police announcement together.

Seeing that his classmate still had the same naturally curly hair and that even a formal suit couldn't hide his lazy look, Morofushi Jingguang wanted to laugh.

Matsuda must be feeling very uncomfortable now. It would be better for him to defuse ten bombs than to pretend to be polite in such an official occasion.

The news continued, and on TV, Jinpei Matsuda was being interviewed by reporters next to the official spokesperson of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The criminal sent a message of provocation, and the police were keenly aware of it in the Ferris wheel in the park,"

"It was Officer Matsuda who rushed in and defused the bomb." The spokesman patted Jinpei Matsuda on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

"Can Officer Matsuda say a few words?" Seeing the officer's gloomy appearance, the reporter immediately gave up the spokesperson and handed the microphone to Matsuda Jinpei.

Only handsome police officers are popular these days!

"Well, this is the police's responsibility." Matsuda Jinpei obviously knew that he couldn't escape, and he reluctantly learned the official tone. Before coming to the press conference, he was pulled aside and indoctrinated with a bunch of official terms.

"then?"

"Well, no more." Apparently, Matsuda Jinpei's brain, which could remember the structure of things that had been dismantled clearly, was not so outstanding in remembering official vocabulary.

Zhu Fu Jingguang could see the reporter's confusion and lamented that his peers were still like that, but soon, the following news was beyond his expectations.

"Then how did the police quickly learn that the next bomb was at the Rice Flower Hospital?"

"There was a caring citizen who called himself Xiaobai." Matsuda Jinpei did answer this question, "He deduced the location of the bomb."

"Of course, the Metropolitan Police Department has guessed it as well." The spokesman immediately tried to smooth things over. He did not want to give the credit of the Metropolitan Police Department to some enthusiastic citizen. The authority of the Metropolitan Police Department needed to be established through this opportunity.

Matsuda Jinpei couldn't say anything. The darkness inside the police force was no better than those in the workplace. He didn't have the sense to reveal everything. When he was young, he also had the idea of ​​punching the police chief hard. Now...

I still think about it.

[Xiaobai? What do you think?! ]

When Xiao Hei heard the enthusiastic citizen Xiao Bai, he was shocked. How could he not know the location of the bomb that Noel revealed to the Metropolitan Police Department?

[I originally wanted to use Xiao Hei, but I gave all of them to you, so I had to change one.]

【Why is it Xiaobai? 】

【I thought about it seriously for a long time. 】

Noel was forced to sit on the sofa and watch TV with Morobushi Jingguang. In his mind, he was arguing with Xiaohei about his own naming taste, and then he noticed that Morobushi Jingguang had turned his attention to him at some point.

"What's wrong?"

"You knew about the bomber?"

"Well, I do know that."

"Xiaobai, is that you?"

"I don't have such a silly name."

[Do you know this name is stupid?! ]

"Just for casual use."

Although I don't know why Morofu Jingguang guessed it, I could probably think of it, after all, I was too conspicuous on the Ferris wheel.

In that case, let the other party know what I did. I saved your friend. Isn't that great? Noel was a little smug. When the news ended, he wanted to change the channel. He never liked watching the official announcements of the Japanese police. They were boring and hypocritical.

"Latest news," Noel heard the host say just as he was about to change the channel.

Noel was distracted and missed the best opportunity to change the channel.

"In the park where the bomb was hidden yesterday, the police found a body. Please see the news from the scene below."

"It's not a body, it's a box of bodies," the reporter at the scene was a little excited, even when the police tried to stop him, he still said:

"It was chopped up and stuffed into a small trash can, and then placed in the corner of the Ferris wheel control room!"

There was silence in the room. Noel was visibly frozen. After a while, he heard Zhufu Jingguang ask,

"Is this the bomber?"

"Um......"
