Chapter 95 [Basic Police Skills]
Sindra Corporation fell out of the Fortune Global 500 overnight, with its market value evaporating by hundreds of billions.
Although the company's market value dropped due to the president's scandal, it will soon recover due to the appointment of a new president, the internet's response to the incident, and the company's public relations, other companies are plotting to take advantage of the company and buy up a large number of its scattered shares in the stock market in one go.
A few more shareholders with weak positions sold their shares, and when everything settled, the largest shareholder of Sindra Company was replaced.
While the media was still vigorously reporting on the Thomas Schindler murder scandal, the entire company had been cut off from its financial support and quietly changed its owner.
At this time, Sindra's market value had not even recovered to two-thirds of its original value.
The original work did not reflect the subsequent development of Syndra Corporation at all, so my wife's family took over the company with peace of mind.
Instead, it was Tadaki Kashimura, who had lost his status as a living person, who angrily denounced their despicable means at a certain residence of my wife's family.
He seemed to think that the whole incident was a despicable business war tactic used by my wife's family. They deliberately kidnapped him and wrongly accused Thomas Schindler of murder in order to seize the Schindler company.
In view of this, this incredibly talented game developer was unilaterally banned from the Internet, and he probably won't have the opportunity to touch his favorite gaming industry in the coming years.
However, there is a computer in his room, so if he can develop games on his own, it is not impossible.
The Agatsuma family is also preparing for "The Truman Show," purchasing a small island overseas and establishing a special community specifically for victims like Tadaki Kashimura who do not believe in the fate of the Agatsuma family.
All life necessities can only be carried out on the island, and the Internet, mobile phone signals, etc. are completely cut off from the outside world. There is only an "intranet" on the island.
Because the previous incident with Rena Mizunashi had given them confidence that they could change their fate, they were willing to use this method. If, as before, they could save people but not restore their status as victims and criminals, then such painstaking efforts to improve their lives and maintain their mental state would be meaningless.
Summer passed and November 7th soon arrived.
As shown in the original work, the bomber who killed Kenji Hagiwara sent a strange fax to the Metropolitan Police Department every November 7th. In previous years, the faxes had numbers, but this year, they were a crime warning composed of coded characters.
After four years of hard work, he finally succeeded in changing jobs, but failed to get the job he wanted. Jinpei Matsuda picked up his toolbox and walked out the door without hesitation.
Because Kenji Hagiwara revealed the information to him in advance, he knew the answer to the mystery and what would happen next without having to think.
But he still had to follow the picture shown by fate, do it step by step, and move towards death step by step.
Even a brave man who believes in sacrificing his life for justice cannot accept meaningless sacrifice.
Therefore, knowing what the future holds, Jinpei Matsuda would never easily accept the fate of death.
He took Sato Miwako's car, sirens blaring all the way, and rushed to the Ferris wheel of the Haido Hotel at lightning speed.
At this time, black smoke was billowing from the control room of the Ferris wheel, and many staff members were carrying out emergency fire-fighting work.
The fire was so intense that calling the fire department wouldn't have been a waste of police resources. However, the incident happened suddenly, and the fire department was still on the way, so the firefighters had to carry out the initial firefighting work.
If the fire can be controlled as much as possible, even if it cannot be extinguished immediately, it is a good thing as long as it does not spread to other places.
Miwako Sato found a person in work clothes, showed him the police handbook, and asked him the location of elevator No. 72.
Who could possibly remember the exact location of a car? The staff member subconsciously shifted their gaze to the Ferris wheel and just in time saw the car with the number 72 scribbled in white paint on the door slowly approach the stage.
Ferris wheels usually do not stop to get passengers on and off, and only stop completely at the end of a full day's operation. Therefore, for safety reasons, the speed is not very fast.
Each time it rotates to the stage position, there is still plenty of time for 4 to 6 people to get on and off a car.
This also gave Matsuda Jinpei ample time to inspect the entire car, so it was no surprise that he was able to successfully discover the bomb. In his original destiny, he had discovered the bomb's location immediately, and he already knew its location.
In response to Sato Miwako's obstruction, Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses and gave a rare smile.
"Let's leave this kind of thing to the experts." He stated the fact in a cool manner and closed the elevator door.
The police watched as car No. 72 slowly rose, and everyone was anxious.
On the contrary, the bomb disposal expert in the car felt no sense of danger and sat down on the ground.
He tapped the hidden earphones and asked, "I say, is this really okay?"
Hagiwara Kenji's voice came through the headset. He still looked uneasy, and he joked with his friend with a smile, "It's okay. We checked it yesterday. The bomb was powerful enough to blow up an elevator car."
"But how can others believe the information I pass on? At this time, you still want to hide it from me?"
"Hahaha, no." Hagiwara Kenji seemed to be unable to hold back his laughter and kept humming and laughing. "Anyway, Jinpei-chan is wearing sunglasses, so he can just see it directly."
"Who would wear sunglasses when defusing a bomb?" Although, there was no bomb in the car he was in, or rather, there was no real bomb.
There is a bomb that is so real that it looks fake.
He looked at the screen that was counting down, and his professional habit made his fingers itchy, and he wanted to tear the thing apart with a pair of scissors immediately.
"Okay, Jinpei-chan, don't talk too much from now on," Hagiwara Kenji reminded him, "I'm going to transfer the signal."
With a slight click, the sound of another bomb countdown rang in Jinpei Matsuda's ears.
The crime notice stated that the spark would be ignited at noon. Considering the situation at the scene, it is very likely that the bomb would explode at twelve o'clock.
The Ferris wheel's control console was destroyed, temporarily rendering it uncontrollable. Given the wheel's current speed, cabin 72 would have still been in mid-air when the bomb exploded. Had the bomb disposal team failed to defused the bomb in time, they would have been left with nowhere to hide.
The staff shouted, "Hurry up, the fire is still small. If we put it out in time, maybe the controller can still be used."
Just as he finished speaking, the room where the console was located exploded again.
Fortunately, most of the staff were far away from the room due to the overheating temperature, otherwise this wave of explosions would probably have caused casualties.
However, after this explosion, the control console was completely destroyed, and the control of the Ferris wheel became a mirage for a short period of time, while the car marked with 72 stopped in mid-air almost at the top.
The sudden stop caused the car to shake violently. Matsuda Jinpei finally managed to steady himself, but was urged by Hagiwara Kenji to recite his lines.
He almost read out "Tsk, this is troublesome" in his voice, his face flushed with shame.
If he were faced with a real crisis, he might indeed say such a line. But the "bomb" in front of him didn't give him the slightest sense of danger, so saying this line really took all his acting skills.
The cell phone rang, and Jinpei Matsuda took the opportunity to answer the call to divert his shame.
However, he forgot that what followed was also embarrassing for him.
Having a back-and-forth conversation with Sato Miwako, reading the clues left by the bomber, and finally pretending to say "my phone is running out of battery" and hanging up the phone immediately are all things that Matsuda Jinpei would do.
That’s indeed true.
But when being instructed by others, Matsuda Jinpei felt that he had used up all his endurance for the rest of his life, so as to avoid exploding before the bomb exploded because of shame.
After hanging up the phone, his fingers danced deftly across the keys, and in three minutes, he sent a hundreds-word message of complaints to Hagiwara Kenji. In the days when text messages still had character limits, a single message took more than a dozen times to send.
In the last three seconds, he sent a message of another location to Sato Miwako according to the prompt.
Almost the next moment after he pressed the send button, he was surrounded by huge noise, dazzling light and heat waves, which stung his eyes.
"Ahh, no wonder Hagi mentioned wearing sunglasses... I've been telling you who wears sunglasses when defusing a bomb! !"
The explosion may have only damaged car 72, but the light, flames and vibrations caused by the explosion spread to several nearby cars, and even the ground could feel the huge vibrations.
Matsuda Jinpei, the one sending the message, couldn't hear Sato Miwako's struggles and cries, dozens of meters away. He was already sitting on the floor of the elevator, and now he buried his head in protection, protecting his head, neck, and other vital parts.
Fortunately, although the heat wave was felt, the cabin glass did not break and the vibration was within the tolerance range of the Ferris wheel.
Miwako Sato stared blankly at the sky until she looked helplessly at the red and black flames reflected in the blue sky, until the last message from Jinpei Matsuda came to her cell phone.
The policewoman forced herself to suppress her anger and sadness and conveyed the message to Inspector Megure.
Everyone knew that if the bombing of the Ferris wheel's control panel was a timer, the second bombing was definitely a human error. The bomber would have watched as the police boarded car 72 before blowing up the control panel and completely stopping the Ferris wheel.
Otherwise, if the police failed to reach the Ferris wheel or no one boarded car 72, the bomber's play would have been a show for the blind.
But the police were being led by the bomber and had to make another, larger firework their first target.
Therefore, they did not have the energy to observe the fleeing crowd and look for different people among them like Keimitsu Morofushi, Kenji Hagiwara, Sayuri Agatsuma or other members of the Agatsuma family.
They could only notify the explosive ordnance disposal team and head towards the location that Jinpei Matsuda had last sent them.
This is information obtained at the cost of a police officer's life, and everyone must be saved.

"Sayuri-chan, are you sure the criminal is here?" Hagiwara Kenji searched around for the criminal with a telescope.
"I'm not sure either. The criminals in the original work were not caught in this incident..." The criminals even have the opportunity to harm the next batch of police officers.
However, Agatsuma Sayuri knew what the criminal looked like and sent the other party's two-dimensional image to everyone present.
Even if the prisoner would be tortured during his years in prison, even if he might age over time, even if there were huge differences between his two-dimensional and three-dimensional images, if we were only looking for characteristics...
This is probably what the police are best at.
There were two police officers present, one of whom was a sniper.
