Chapter 3631 3646 [Eyeslighter]
He briefly explained the situation and told Kazami Yuya to keep an eye on things. Then Amuro Tooru ignored his subordinate, who had wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, and hung up the phone.
Although he had long suspected that the editor, Asanaga, was problematic, the prison already had countless such puppets. He had secretly had them interrogated several times, but none of them could provide any information related to Uzo.
Amuro Tooru didn't want to waste time on this kind of person, but he was worried that Uzo might do something unexpected, so he sent Kazami Yuya over to keep an eye on him.
Besides this area, he also deployed other informants.
He quickly made another call.
"Mr. Furuya!" The progress here sounds much more normal.
"We've caught up with the suspect you mentioned who detonated the bomb. I just saw his face, and he is indeed the bomber who has been on the run for five years, Hirukawa Takuji."
"After leaving the crime scene, he made a phone call, and it seemed like he was discussing what to do next with the other end of the line."
Amuro Tooru nodded: "Don't alert him, keep following him. After the two sides make contact, send me the location of his hideout, and keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals in the vicinity."
The person on the other end responded solemnly.
Just then, a phone call came in from the other end. Amuro Tooru hung up the previous call and answered the new one.
This time, the news wasn't good: "I'm sorry, Mr. Furuya, I lost him..."
Amuro sighed, but wasn't too surprised. If Curaçao couldn't even shake off this kind of tracking, then the Black Organization wasn't worth all the effort they put in.
"I was just trying to take advantage of her injury, but now it seems that the woman's injury wasn't serious at all... So how come she rolled on the ground several times before getting up? Uzo gave her some leeway, and she was playing along with Uzo's act?"
Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru became slightly wary: "Let's turn back. Be careful on the way, try to avoid places with few people, and don't get involved in any disputes."
The person on the other end was also on edge, wanting to ask but not daring to, and could only nervously reply, "Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, he recalled the rumors about that official, looked around, and felt that danger lurked everywhere.
Not daring to delay any longer, he immediately abandoned his current task and casually blended into the crowd on the street.
...
While Inspector Megure was cleaning up the scene, he asked Ena where they should go to arrest the suspects next.
At that moment, Officer Takagi received a phone call. After hanging up, he quickly ran over to report: "The Metropolitan Police Department received an anonymous call. Someone said they saw Hirukawa Takuji and, out of curiosity, followed him and found his residence."
Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy! Let's go! We'll head over there right now."
As Officer Sato got into the car, he muttered to Jiang Xia, "Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence? Although we just had the TV station reissue Hirukawa Takuji's arrest warrant... it shouldn't have been effective this quickly, right?"
Officer Takagi hadn't thought much of it at first, but upon hearing her words, he immediately racked his brains: "Could it be the mastermind Jiang Xia mentioned earlier?"
Officer Sato hesitated and said, "But after Hirukawa is arrested, he will definitely implicate his accomplices—logically speaking, the mastermind behind this should not only not help us arrest Hirukawa, but should also obstruct us."
"That makes sense."
The two officers exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered, before turning in unison to look at Jiang Xia, who had smoothly settled into the back seat.
"..." Jiang Xia didn't really want to say anything, but looking at these two faces, she seemed to have to say something, so she slowly said:
"It might be a feint; the real culprit gave us the wrong location so that Hirukawa could escape from the other side."
"It's also possible that he wanted to make Hirukawa 'die accidentally' in front of us, cut off the clues, and let today's events end completely with Hirukawa."
Officer Takagi was still a little confused.
Officer Sato immediately understood. She hurriedly called Inspector Megure: "Inspector, tell the main force to slow down. Takagi and I will go ahead first and quietly bring Hirukawa out. Jiang Xia said that the mastermind might kill Hirukawa in front of everyone and erase this witness—we have to strike first!"
Inspector Megure understood even less.
However, he was good at grasping key words: "Jiang Xia said it? Then let's do it this way, I'll tell them to drive slower."
...
Suburbs.
There is a small dock by the river, with a bridge arch on the left and a simple guardhouse next to the bridge arch.
The house was only about ten square meters, with wooden walls and a blue roof, looking like a fairytale cottage, fresh and harmless. But opening the door revealed a mess of tools scattered around, explosives piled in the corner, and several finished bombs on the table.
Hirukawa Takuji huffed and puffed his way through the narrow paths to the riverbank, where he plunged headfirst into the small house.
Back at his base, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into a chair by the table.
Then, looking around, he made a phone call: "Chaoyong, I've arrived. Where are you?"
In the woods a few dozen meters away.
Editor Asagami hid behind a tree, watching the small house from afar, a silent, cold smile appearing on his face.
But on the phone, his voice was quite gentle: "Don't worry, I'll be right there, just wait 5 more minutes."
His face darkened after he hung up the phone.
"He actually ruined my perfect plan. This idiot's scriptwriting talent is worlds apart from his brother's."
Thinking of the picture book author who died young, editor Asagaya sighed deeply. Looking at the small house under the bridge, he couldn't help but feel disdain: "What a pity for such a good picture book. Even if we succeed in robbing it in the future, we can never be as artistic as we were this time."
Sighing, he pulled down his hat brim and patiently waited for the large police force to arrive.
—If we detonate the bomb in Hirukawa's house in front of the police and make it look like an accidental explosion, this less-than-perfect case can be brought to a close.
Having confirmed that Hirukawa had returned to the cabin, Editor Asanaga was about to move to a more distant spot to eavesdrop. But then, he saw someone sneakily emerge from the woods, following Hirukawa Takuji, and finding the cabin.
The furtive man glanced at the small house a few times from afar, then retreated back inside, apparently making a phone call to someone.
"...?"
A sense of unease welled up in Editor Chao Yong's heart. After hesitating for a moment, he did not go any further but instead observed the situation from the spot.
Two minutes later, a car suddenly stopped nearby, and three familiar-looking guys got out of the car. Two policemen and a high school detective did not go to the hut, but instead tried to sneak closer from the other side through the underpass.
Editor Asaga was initially puzzled, but then his eyes narrowed as he realized something was terribly wrong.
