Chapter 110
"Officer Nishihara, it's been a long time since we last met!"
As soon as Hoshikawa Kazuaki saw Nishihara Tadahiko, he immediately smiled warmly and his attitude became much more sincere than before.
"Hmm? Long time? It shouldn't be. Didn't I pick you up and drop you off at get off work a few days ago?"
Nishihara Tadahiko thought about it seriously, and then said innocently the "pick-up and drop-off" declaration that Hoshikawa Kazuaki was most afraid of hearing.
Xingchuan Heming's smile froze when he heard this, and he twitched his mouth in pain. He now deeply suspected that the other party had done it on purpose.
But even if he did it on purpose, there was nothing he could do, and since the other party was most likely his third alias, Hoshikawa and Ming decided to forgive him.
That's right, according to the unanimous guess of Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagino Satoshi, Nishihara Tadahiko was the third alias who ultimately saved Matsuda Jinpei in the Ferris wheel explosion case.
This news comes from Satoshi Kagino.
Originally, since the Kagamino Satoshi vest was activated, the two found that in Kagamino Satoshi's memory, there was no memory related to the next two copies. This may be related to the fact that Xingchuan and Ming have not had time to do the copy mission, so Xingchuan and Ming are not too surprised about this.
However, to his surprise, while collecting intelligence, Kagino Satoshi accidentally found a special photo from a news report titled "Police Fight Bomb Criminals" three years ago.
Although the news itself was vague, it can be seen from the attached photos that the bomber who was outwitted was the unlucky guy in the bomber extortion case seven years ago, who was first caught by the biker gang and then sent back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Jinpei Matsuda.
The policeman in the photo is Nishihara Tadahiko, whom Hoshikawa and Ming are already very familiar with.
It is known that Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji both survived until seven years later, so they must have been successfully rescued. The only person who could have successfully changed the original plot at the right time and successfully rescued him could only be the vest activated by Hoshikawa Kazuaki in the dungeon.
So, isn’t it obvious who the third vest is?
However, there are still many doubts in this matter.
Obviously, this was a case that caused a lot of trouble at the time, so why was it rarely mentioned in past news records? Even the Nichima TV station, which often cooperates with the Metropolitan Police Department, never reported on this incident? Instead, the tabloid that Kagano Satoshi discovered mentioned it briefly in a very small space.
Xingchuan and Ming couldn't help wondering, is there something more secret behind this incident, so the Metropolitan Police Department deliberately suppressed the news? However, what is the truth, only after entering the copy can we know.
Satoshi Kagino had already made arrangements at the Beika Hotel, and as expected, Jinpei Matsuda joined the search and investigation of the explosives theft case.
The final task now is to try to get Nishihara Tadahiko's alias and Matsuda Jinpei to appear in the same frame with Hoshikawa Kazuaki, and use this method to activate the copy.
Even though Hoshikawa Kazuaki had experienced this once before, he still couldn't hide his excitement. Looking at Nishihara Tadahiko again, thinking that he would soon become his pseudonym, he suddenly felt that this handsome face was very friendly, and couldn't help but blurt out:
"Officer Nishihara, come with me, let's go to the Rice Flower Hotel and take photos together!"
Nishihara Tadahiko:?
What happened? I haven't seen him for just one day. Who has taught Xingchuan, a good kid, to be a bad kid?
The Beika Hotel is one of the landmark buildings in Beika Town. It is surrounded by commercial streets and has a large flow of people. Once an explosion occurs, chaos will be more likely to occur than in other places.
Ryo Nagata initially chose this place as the explosion site in order to attract the greatest possible police force.
Satoshi Kagino has successfully checked into the VIP room of the Beika Hotel. He is now walking in the corridor leading to the room, scanning the closed doors one by one.
When he reached room 908, his pupils shrank dramatically, almost unnoticeably. Then he turned around silently and walked to the door of room 918 which belonged to him, and opened it smoothly.
Just two hours ago, when Hoshikawa and Ming learned from Kagamino Satoshi that Nagata Ryo was planning to attract the attention of the police by setting off a bomb, an idea suddenly came to their mind.
Isn't his next rescue target, Jinpei Matsuda, a bomb disposal expert? Now there is another ready-made bombing case, isn't it a good opportunity to activate the copy?
It just so happened that Ryo Nagata was planning to deal with Hoshikawa and Akira's evil intentions, so the two of them agreed to use the news that Hoshikawa and Akira were coming to the Beika Hotel to lure Ryo Nagata to temporarily choose room 908 as the location for the time bomb, while Satoshi Kagino directly operated internally and moved into room 918 opposite.
Because they knew the bomb's scheduled explosion time in advance, according to the pre-arranged script, Hoshikawa and Akira would look for Kagino Satoshi in the name of resolving their ties. One hour before the explosion, the two guided Nishihara Tadahiko to discover the bomb in the opposite room.
As a computer geek who grew up under the care of two bomb disposal police officers, Satoshi Kagano immediately thought of calling Jinpei Matsuda for help. Then, as soon as Jinpei Matsuda arrived, the relevant personnel were successfully gathered and the third copy was successfully activated. Perfect script!
Kagino Satoshi had just successfully completed the performance of the previous script. He was full of confidence at this moment. He felt that with his acting skills and Xiaoxing's script, he could handle not only a Nishihara Tadahiko vest, but even a hooded vest. He would have no problem doing it!
He raised his chin slightly and walked into room 918 with a bit of pride, and then began to send messages to Xingchuan and Ming in his mind.
Kagano Satoshi: Xiaoxing, I'm all set here. When will you and the new vest arrive? There's only one hour left before the explosion time set by Ryo Nagata, so you won't be late, will you?
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: I'm sorry, it took me a little longer to persuade Nishihara Tadahiko to come with me. But don't worry, there's still time.
Kagamino Satoshi: Why is the new vest unwilling to come? Does he already know that we are plotting against him?
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: That's not the case. He just thought it was weird that the destination was the hotel and misunderstood that I wanted to do something bad to him.
Kagamino Satoshi: What happened to the hotel? Why does the destination do bad things here?
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: ...Forget it, this is not something a kid like you needs to know.
Kagino Satoshi: Hey! Who is the kid? I am one year older than you!
After Kagano Satoshi's one-sided comparison ended, Hoshikawa and Akira sat in Nishihara Tadahiko's car and politely urged:
"Officer Nishihara, can you drive faster? I'm in a hurry."
Nishihara Tadahiko was also helpless:
"Sorry, I just happened to be stuck in traffic."
Xingchuan Heming frowned slightly, silently calculating the remaining distance from here to the Mihua Hotel. If he continued like this, he might be too late. So he subconsciously called for help.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Xiaozhi, there is a traffic jam here, please help!
So before long, the traffic lights on their road seemed to have gone crazy. The red light only flashed a few times, and the green light was almost always on, and all the vehicles drove away quickly and smoothly.
However, when passing the intersection, Xingchuan Heming vaguely heard the drivers crossing the street cursing loudly, and he could only pretend not to hear it awkwardly.
I'm sorry, fellow drivers, all of this is to save Jinpei Matsuda from the explosion three years ago. Please help and continue to block the road, okay?
