"Why are those two policemen and Jiang Xia alone here? And instead of going directly down the bridge, they sneaked through the tunnel from the back..."
Asagami, the editor, secretly observed these three suddenly appearing individuals. Seeing their unusual behavior, a thought suddenly occurred to him:
"I remember when Jiang Xia was investigating the time bomb, he left halfway through. Could it be that these three people happened to be closer to here, so after receiving the information, they planned to launch a surprise attack and take down Hirukawa?"
Upon reflection, Editor Asahide broke out in a cold sweat.
He had just anonymously reported Hirugawa's location to the police, and the main police force would arrive here soon.
He planned to detonate the bomb in the cabin in front of the group of police officers, blowing the cabin and Hirukawa inside into the air, making it look like a suicide or accident, and bringing the case to a close.
"To avoid being seen by the police, I originally planned to slip away to a distance after confirming that Hirukawa was back here, and then detonate the bomb when I heard the main force arriving, but now it seems..."
—Now it seems that if he really did that, then while he was happily waiting for the main force to arrive, Jiang Xia and the two policemen would quietly enter the small house and take Hirukawa away from where he couldn't see him.
As for that bastard Hirukawa, if he falls into the hands of the police, he will definitely betray him and become a despicable witness!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness Hirukawa was followed by someone, thank goodness I spotted that person, thank goodness I felt something was wrong and decided to stay and check..."
Otherwise, if any of these steps were omitted, he would immediately go from an elegant mastermind to a pitiful prisoner!
Editor Asanaga was sweating profusely. Without further hesitation, he pressed the detonation button hard while Hirukawa was still inside!
boom!!
Flames shot into the sky, knocking Officer Takagi, who had just peeked out from under the bridge, off balance.
Seeing the policeman stumble back into the bridge arch in a sorry state, Editor Chao Yong paused, suddenly feeling like he'd lost out: Why didn't he wait until the three men entered the small house before detonating the explosives together? That way, he could have killed four of them.
"...However, if they go in and Hirukawa gets scared and runs out the window, then it would be a loss."
The most crucial thing right now is to silence them as soon as possible, rather than letting greed create openings for ourselves.
As he grumbled and cursed, he quickly slipped away before anyone noticed.
...
One hour later.
Editor Asahide drove home as if nothing had happened. Once he entered the underground parking lot, he breathed a sigh of relief and stretched wearily.
—A busy day has finally come to an end.
The fact that no police have come looking for him means that his plan to frame someone has succeeded.
Everything was progressing according to plan, the only pity was that the cash in the armored truck was not yet in hand.
...It's all that idiot Hirukawa's fault.
Editor Chao Yong shook his head, realizing he had no choice but to give up this opportunity for now and decide to make a plan later.
He got out of the car and was about to go home, but after taking only two steps, several car lights suddenly turned on nearby, and the blinding light instantly froze him in place.
"who?!"
Who would dare to turn on their headlights in an underground parking garage?! Who has such a lack of public decency?!
Wait, there's more than one car with its lights on?
Wait, why are so many people getting off the bus?
In a daze, the car lights went out. Before Chao Yong could adjust to the darkness, a voice came: "We've only been separated for less than two hours, and your injury is already healed?"
Editor Asagami whirled around, and after a moment of adjustment, finally saw someone who made his eyes twitch: "Officer? You, what are you doing here?"
Inspector Megure snorted: Not long ago, when he saw Editor Asanaga, the man had bandages wrapped around his head and his right arm in a sling around his neck. He pitifully said that Hirukawa had stolen a picture book from him and had beaten him up for it... But now, the bandages on his body are long gone, and his right hand is perfectly fine.
—Clearly, I've been tricked by this "poor witness".
"If it weren't for Brother Jiang Xia, I would probably have thought you were just an ordinary victim." Inspector Megure said, "You were never actually beaten by Hirukawa!"
Editor Asagaya opened his mouth, paused for a few seconds, and then smiled and said, "Hirukawa did hit me, but the injuries on my body are not as serious as I showed before."
"The reason I bandaged up so dramatically is because I lost a precious picture book sample. I was worried that people in the company would blame me, so I thought of using a self-inflicted injury as a ploy—it was wrong of me to deceive the feelings of the employees, and I apologize."
Inspector Megure: "..." What kind of self-inflicted injury scheme is this? It was clearly a self-directed and self-acted performance by you and that wanted criminal Hirukawa!
He really wanted to shout like that, but since he had no evidence, he could only glance at Jiang Xia.
Fortunately, my brother Jiangxia is as reliable as ever: "Mr. Chaoyong, I heard you plan to leave your current company and go solo? — Your planned source of funding should be this attempted robbery today, right?"
Editor Asagaya looked bewildered: "What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
Jiang Xia seemed to have seen this kind of performance many times before, and was very patient: "What I mean is, Mr. Hirukawa, who was blown up, was not the mastermind behind today's robbery. He was just a pitiful puppet that you were controlling."
"Is that so?" Editor Asagami was about to get angry, but he barely managed to hold back. He sneered:
“I admire your imagination. If you also want to draw picture books, you can contact me anytime. But you should know that stories and imagination are different. If you want to smear me, you need to have evidence first.”
Jiang Xia: "This series of explosions appears to be mainly time bombs, but in fact, those electronic countdowns are just an illusion—all the bombs were detonated remotely."
"The forensic department just sent a message saying that the propagation distance of this kind of remote control radio wave is only a few dozen meters."
"Furthermore, the anonymous text messages sent by the bomber showed a very detailed understanding of the police operation, down to the minute... Considering all these points, the 'real culprit' who controlled the bomb and sent the text messages was among us at that time."
Jiang Xia looked around: "Besides the police, the only people involved in this investigation are me, Boss Amuro, and you."
“I had to leave with Mr. Amuro on the way. But after we left, the bomber continued to send those text messages with pinpoint accuracy—and the person sending those text messages was actually you, hiding in the police car.”
"It was you who found a way to contact Hirukawa and got him to perform the play of 'pretending to take revenge on the detective, but actually taking the opportunity to rob an armored truck'."
