Chapter 76 Please Walk by My Side

Although the explosion site is very remote, close to a sparsely populated suburb.

But there is a food processing company's supply warehouse nearby, and some workers live scattered around it.

In addition, the news that the Metropolitan Police Department had received a blackmail letter had already been spread by the media and was known to everyone.

As the explosions cracked in the air, the Metropolitan Police Department failed to protect the safety of the people, causing the bomber to deliberately retaliate, and the news of the bomb explosion spread to every corner of Tokyo as if it had wings.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagihara arrived almost at the same time as the media following the news.

Wearing explosion-proof suits, they were too conspicuous. The media, eager to get first-hand information, swarmed in like sharks, hoping to get a few words of information from them.

The police officers responsible for maintaining order at the scene were almost dispersed.

"Please make way! The explosion site has not been cleaned up yet. It is very dangerous to approach now. Please do not approach any further! I cannot tell you the details of the case! Please make way!"

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara looked at each other, and with sympathy for their unlucky colleague, they both quickened their pace.

It was confirmed that there were not many flammable materials in the warehouse where the explosion occurred, and the flames that had previously burned were also put out by firefighters.

Matsuda Jinpei and his team still came here, firstly to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of explosion, and secondly to investigate the scene and confirm the cause of the explosion.

"...Hagi, did you see that?"

Almost as soon as he stepped into the charred warehouse, Jinpei Matsuda noticed something unusual.

In the warehouse that had been destroyed beyond recognition by the explosion and fire, the ground was covered with black ash from burnt materials of various materials.

Some of them looked like machine tools, or some kind of machine, and the metal was covered with the dullness that comes from being baked at high temperatures.

Kenji Hagiwara looked in the direction that Jinpei Matsuda pointed, and easily saw that the machine closest to them, whose purpose was no longer apparent, had an unnatural bend on one side.

The two experienced men carefully stepped forward to inspect the wreckage at the scene. It didn't take them long to determine that the cause of the bend was the shock wave from the explosion.

"It looks like the explosion wasn't very powerful. There may be some debris left. Let's look for it."

Hagiwara Kenji made a judgment, and he and Matsuda Jinpei separated and searched on the left and right in tacit understanding.

Neither of them was a complete novice, and they spent less time finding the debris after the bomb explosion than determining the cause of the machine's unnatural bending shape.

By eliminating the risk of a secondary explosion at the scene, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara's mission is complete.

The charred, almost carbonized remains were taken away by the police in charge of quality inspection in transparent bags, and will serve as strong evidence to prove the culprit of this heinous incident in the future.

Compared to these, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara are more concerned about Kamiya Aoi, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Then, as soon as they took off their protective suits, they learned from a colleague wearing black-framed glasses that Shen Youkui was not only accused of being the culprit in the disappearance of two reserve police officers, but also the first suspect of this vicious incident.

"..." Matsuda Jinpei was stunned, "Wait, what is the evidence and reason for your accusation?"

Shenyou Aoi is still missing!

The public security officer wearing black-framed glasses, whose real name is Yuya Kazami, had a blank expression on his face. For the sake of Rei Furuya, he gave an additional explanation: "A few minutes ago, a video appeared on major Japanese portals."

Yuya Kazami opened the video that he had saved as evidence and asked Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara to watch it together.

The video seems to be a surveillance camera's perspective, with only two people visible in the overhead shot.

One was a middle-aged man wearing thin-framed glasses, and the other had unmistakable silver hair and a cold expression—it was the missing Kamiya Aoi.

There is no sound in the video, but you can clearly see that the middle-aged man is very humble and terrified when facing Shen Youkui.

He seemed to be begging for mercy from Shen Youkui, but Shen Youkui remained indifferent - until the middle-aged man took out something that looked like a remote control from his arms.

The silver-haired boy with an indifferent look finally raised his hand...

The video ends here.

In just a dozen seconds, the amount of information is astonishing.

"..." Jinpei Matsuda was a little confused before watching the video, but after watching it he was speechless and didn't know what to say.

As a person who has been "blessed" by God and has two memories of rebirth in his mind, Jinpei Matsuda can responsibly say: This video is real and he is fake!

But unfortunately, he could not explain why he believed in God.

Looking at his friend who seemed to believe in the story, Matsuda Jinpei nudged Hagiwara Kenji and said, "Hagi, you don't believe it, do you?"

Hagiwara Kenji came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I just think the angle of this video... and the place where it stops are weird."

Due to some unspeakable rules, Feng Jianyu could not explain more.

Seeing that the two had finished watching the video, he took back the phone and the bomb wreckage.

"The case involving Shen Youkui has been taken over by the police. Thank you for your hard work. I won't bother you anymore."

Public security? Isn't that the guy Furuya in charge?

Jinpei Matsuda felt relieved. He also had the memory of rebirth, and he believed that Furuya Rei would not list Kamiya Aoi as the number one suspect.

At this moment, Hagiwara Kenji glanced at the media who were reluctant to leave in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that now... Xiaokui has become a fugitive wanted by the Japanese police."

Matsuda Jinpei was slightly stunned, "Huh?"

#

Japan's Public Safety Commission, Rei Furuya is working hard to do so.

"Kami Yuuki is a suspect, but he is definitely not the mastermind of all the incidents. This is the result of the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation. Please pay attention to this..."

Furiya Rei pointed to the information of the police officer that Vermode had impersonated and continued, "He was the last person Kamiya Aoi saw before she disappeared. According to investigations, Aoki himself was supposed to be on leave that day, but he suddenly returned to the police station to help take statements, which surprised everyone who knew him well."

"After Shen Youkui disappeared, Aoki's whereabouts were unknown, and no one was found at his residence. If he and Shen Youkui were companions, there was no reason for him to help Shen Youkui escape after he was summoned to the Metropolitan Police Department. Therefore, I think the number of missing reserve police officers in this case should not be two, but three!"

Furuya Rei's boss listened to what he said quietly. "The video was posted on major portals, and almost everyone in Japan saw it. The media also made up stories and accused the police of failing to fulfill their obligations."

"In that case, shouldn't we find out the truth and show it to the public?" Furuya Rei couldn't accept that his boss clearly agreed with his ideas but still wanted to use Kami Yuuki as a shield.

However, the boss had other considerations. He looked at Rei Furuya and said calmly, "It takes time to find out the truth. Under the pressure of public opinion, time is the most scarce thing."

"Zero, the truth is important, but the credibility of the police is more important." The boss looked at the blond young man in front of him with a calm gaze, "Can the truth be told by a policeman who has lost his credibility and convince the public?"

Fūya Rei frowned, although he felt a little unwilling, he knew that his boss was right.

"From the disappearance of the reserve police officer to the blackmail letter received by Kamiya Aoi and the explosion of the warehouse in the suburbs, these events happened one after another as if they were rehearsed. The coincidences were so great that anyone with a brain could tell that something was wrong."

"Since you have already taken over the case from the Metropolitan Police Department, the subsequent investigation will also be handed over to you." The boss said, and it is unknown what he was thinking about. The skin around his eyes, which had a scar running across it, wrinkled as he squinted.

"Three people are missing...but it's not normal that only Kamiyakui has received this much attention. I have a feeling that Kamiyakui is a very important person. No matter what, he must be found."

Furuya Rei was silent for a while, "I understand."

I'll bring him back.

…

A wanted order has been issued for Kamiya Aoi.

Rei Furuya understands that there is nothing wrong with his boss's idea and his approach is correct - to buy time and find out the truth - but he still feels powerless when he sees Kamiya Aoi's name appear on the wanted warrant.

Obviously this time... was before the tragedy happened.

Why is this still happening?

Furuya Rei sighed and transformed again into "Bourbon" named Amuro Toru from the Black Organization.

As expected, Kamiya Aoi is definitely in the Black Organization at this moment, but it is not certain which safe house he is in, and whether the person next to him is Vermode or Gin.

If it was Vermouth, Furuya Rei would still have some confidence, because he had dealt with Vermouth many times before and knew that he had a different set of ideas from other members of the Black Organization.

In short, Vermouth might be suspicious of him, but would also pretend to be fooled by him just to see some "fun".

Just like in a certain episode in his memory, Vermode took the initiative to find him and revealed the information about Kamiya Aoi.

But if it's gin, there's no room for negotiation.

If Gin becomes suspicious, even Furuya Rei himself will be in danger.

After some consideration, Fūya Rei decided to first check on Vermode's current condition.

Disguising to get into the Metropolitan Police Department is not an easy task. Although Vermouth can disguise other members, Furiya Rei infers from the results that Kamiya Aoi, who can obtain such a special status, is a target worthy of Vermouth's personal efforts.

The blond young man made a phone call, but no one answered the first time.

The second time, still no one answered.

This is very similar to the situation when Bermode was still in the United States, because of the time difference, we could never get in touch.

Just when Furiya Rei put down his phone and was about to take the risk to contact Gin, layers of bullet screens suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

[Damn, what about Xiao Kui who was mentioned earlier as the experiment subject’s prophet? Damn it!]

[Ah, can't the Black Organization stop thinking about your ATPX? What kind of poison is this? It's just a capsule made by a villain. Count how many key figures in the main story escaped death because they were fed this drug?]

[Even if Kamiya Aoi was a test subject, the restart doesn't make sense? What, did she become a psychic?]

…

Experimental subject?

Some of the information he saw during his first rebirth flooded into his mind. Furi Rei rubbed his temples and compared his memories. He remembered that the information was indeed related to an experiment on a drug called "APTX".

...So, did Kamiya Aoi become the subject of this experiment?

Moreover, this experiment must have made a breakthrough in Shen Youkui, otherwise Shen Youkui's special status in the organization would not make sense.

Furiya Rei fell into deep thought.

There was nothing wrong with this speculation, but he intuitively felt that there were some details that were overlooked.

While deep in thought, Furuya Rei's phone vibrated slightly a few times, and a photo popped up after being automatically loaded.

A young man with silver hair closed his eyes, lying in an apparatus that looked like a hibernation chamber.

It's Shenyou Aoi!

I looked down at the photo of Rei Furuya and saw a strange sentence attached to the photo.

"No need to trace my identity, I will show up at the right time."
