Chapter 114

The closet is built into the recess of the wall, and perhaps because of the design of the room, the closet is very narrow, but very deep. Therefore, only Xingchuan and Ming who open the closet door from the front can see clearly what is inside the closet, while others standing on the side cannot see it.

Xingchuan and Mingping looked at the place in front of them, then slowly stretched out their hands and slowly took out a rectangular object decorated like an electronic calendar from the cabinet shelf.

“Is this the electronic desk calendar left by the previous tenant? It looks pretty good, but it’s a bit heavier than I expected.”

Hoshikawa Kazuaki deliberately used a casual tone to explain why he took it directly. This way, even if he was investigated by the police in the future, he could use the excuse that "I thought it was just an electronic calendar" to get away with it.

The panel of the "electronic desk calendar" is large, but the screen is small, and the rest of the space is decorated with very beautiful patterns and patterns. If it weren't for the fact that this thing is so dangerous, Xingchuan and Ming might really like these patterns.

Unfortunately, there was a bright red countdown flashing on it, and a ticking sound was coming from inside.

After opening the cabinet door just now, Xingchuan Heming picked it up facing the electronic panel. So he didn't know that behind the panel, a mercury bomb was directly exposed, with several messy wires entangled and covered on it, which directly hit Nishihara Tadahiko's eyes.

"Don't move! Stay still!"

Nishihara Tadahiko, who had looked relaxed before, suddenly spoke out in shock, with an unprecedented serious tone in his voice, which scared everyone.

Xingchuan Heming also pretended to be frightened and was about to look up to ask what happened. Unexpectedly, Nishihara Tadahiko directly reached out and held him down, preventing him from making any movement.

"Xingchuan! Listen to me, you must maintain this posture and don't move. At the same time, make sure that the hand holding this thing remains stable and the angle cannot be changed. This is very important and will directly affect your life!"

Nishihara Tadahiko's voice was full of tension, and his speech speed was much faster than usual. After he finished speaking, he immediately took out his cell phone to call the police, but after pressing it a few times, he found that the cell phone had a malfunction at this critical moment and could not be turned on at all.

Sweat had already begun to form on his forehead, and he immediately turned to Matsui Naoto and instructed:

"Hurry up and call the police using your internal phone! Tell them a bomb has been found here!"

Matsui Naoto was startled and quickly took out his walkie-talkie. He lowered his head and pressed a few buttons before looking up blankly and saying:

"Strange, what's wrong?"

Xingchuan and Ming looked at the phones in their hands that were completely unusable, and a moment of guilt flashed through their hearts. This might have been broken in the elevator.

Fortunately, Kagamino Satoshi's cell phone was still working, so he called Matsuda Jinpei directly and shouted at the other end as soon as the call was connected:

"Brother Zhenping, help! Xiaoxing accidentally picked up a mercury bomb and can't let go now! We are in Room 918 of the Rice Flower Hotel, come and help!"

After successfully calling Matsuda Jinpei over, Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Tomo both breathed a sigh of relief. The first step was completed, and the next step was to ensure that the brother holding the bomb was stable enough to hold on until the police arrived.

Nishihara Tadahiko borrowed Kagamino Satoshi's phone and called the police again, and arranged for the hotel to be evacuated. Only then did he look at the bomb that Hoshikawa Kazuaki was holding in his hands.

The countdown showed that there were 37 minutes left, and if nothing unexpected happened, the police should be able to come and deal with the situation in time. However, Nishihara Tadahiko also had to consider that if something unexpected happened, the violent explosion would not cause more casualties.

He turned to Kagamino Satoshi and Matsui Naoto who had been standing nearby and said sternly:

"You can see that the current situation is very dangerous. The security personnel here have begun to evacuate the crowd, and the police will be here soon. I hope you can leave here first, so that if anything unexpected happens..."

However, before Nishihara Tadahiko could finish his words, Kagino Satoshi immediately retorted loudly:

"No! I won't leave until Xiaoxing is out of danger! Let this waiter go first. I must stay here anyway."

Tadahiko Nishihara felt a headache.

In Xingchuan and Ming's current situation, if there were someone they trusted to comfort and encourage them, it would indeed help stabilize their emotions. However, they could not just let innocent citizens stay here and take risks.

So according to his original plan, as Xingchuan Heming's long-time friend, he would stay here to accompany him, while everyone else would retreat to a safe place.

But unexpectedly, this childhood friend of Xingchuan and Ming insisted on staying. However, considering that Xingchuan and Ming came here to find this childhood friend to clear up the misunderstanding, letting him stay might really help Xingchuan and Ming stabilize their emotions.

Matsui Naoto on the side was very self-aware and said that he would leave soon, but before leaving, he specifically said to Hoshikawa Kazuaki:

"Teacher Hoshinokawa, I have some secrets here that you will definitely be interested in. Maybe they are related to some special things about you. I will go to the coffee shop where you collected the materials again. I hope you can survive safely this time."

Naoto Matsui's words were incoherent, but Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked into his brown eyes and immediately understood what he meant, but his heart skipped a beat.

This seemingly ordinary hotel attendant in front of me not only has eyes that glow in certain circumstances just like mine, but he also very likely knows the reason for this special change.

Who is he? Why does he know such things? And why is he working as an ordinary service staff here?

If he really has some secret, then was his approach to me a coincidence or intentional?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki could not answer and could only blink his eyes to show his agreement. Matsui Naoto looked very happy and seemed to want to say something more, but to his surprise, Nishihara Tadahiko also interrupted at this time:

"Let's talk about your affairs after the danger is over. The most important thing now is to evacuate."

Matsui Naoto looked at Nishihara Tadahiko and left quickly without saying anything. It was obvious that he was really concerned about his own safety. However, Hoshikawa and Akira looked at Nishihara Tadahiko in confusion.

I didn't know if it was my illusion just now, but when Nishihara Tadahiko was talking to Matsui Naoto, there was a hint of familiarity in his tone, as if he also knew what the other person was talking about.

But is this possible?

Relying on his direct relationship with Nishihara Tadahiko, Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at him without hesitation, indicating that he should give him an answer.

Nishihara Tadahiko said helplessly:

"I can only tell you that Naoto Matsui is a survivor of a case I've dealt with before, so I've actually met him before. But I can't tell you more. You should just focus on keeping the things in your hands steady, and after you've safely passed this danger, go ask him yourself."

Xingchuan and Ming blinked to show that they understood, but they were thinking in their hearts, once I finish this copy, I will be able to figure out what you are hiding from me.

Kagino Satoshi called Matsuda Jinpei again to make sure that he had participated in the rescue operation. Even Nishihara Tadahiko, who was a bystander, could see from his anxious attitude how much Kagino Satoshi cared about the safety of Hoshikawa and Akira.

Perhaps because the explosives theft was such a big deal, the police arrived faster this time than ever before. When Matsuda Jinpei finally appeared in front of the three of them, Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Tomo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, as expected, the comic book opened automatically, ripples spread out, and a dynamic comic was quickly sketched on the copy page.

Matsuda Jinpei was wearing an explosion-proof suit and had a serious expression, while the other three looked at him with joy. The four of them looked at each other, and the next moment, a huge vortex rolled up in the copy page, and Xingchuan and Ming lost consciousness instantly.

…

When he regained consciousness, he was squatting behind a huge shelf.

Yes, he is squatting now.

His body had become much taller than before, and it was obvious that he had been well-trained. It was flexible and explosive, and his muscles were full of strength. His endurance was also very good. After squatting for so long, his legs were only slightly sore. He tried to move, and found that his movements were not affected at all.

Perhaps to better hide his figure, he hunched his back and lowered his waist, curling up in the corner. But at the same time, perhaps to ensure that he could maintain good explosive power even in this position, he maintained a half-squatting posture with one knee pressed down.

It seems that my current situation is not very good.

He looked down and saw that he was wearing the kind of casual clothes that he would wear after get off work. There was almost no special feature. Perhaps it was because of the squatting position, the front of his chest felt a little uncomfortable. He reached out and fumbled for a while, and took out a police manual from his inside pocket.

I opened it with the dim light in the room and, as expected, the name of Tadahiko Nishihara appeared in my sight.

The memory of the ID card suddenly flooded into his mind. He was in a trance for a moment, blinked and forced himself to concentrate. He had confirmed that his current identity was Tadahiko Nishihara, a police officer who had worked in the Special Crime Investigation Division for three years.

Tadahiko Nishihara raised his head slightly and looked out from the gap between the shelves. He could vaguely see a blue logistics company logo printed on the wall.

His memory told him that he was using his vacation time to investigate an old case. Fortunately, he found a kidnapper who had disappeared for a long time. The kidnapper had changed his identity and was working in a logistics company. At the same time, he was secretly reselling contraband items.

I became suspicious of his whereabouts this afternoon, so I sneaked into the logistics company after the employees got off work, hoping to find out what kind of crime he was planning this time.

Although such behavior seems more like a crime to Nishihara Tadahiko now, he is sure that he is indeed a serious policeman.

Unexpectedly, in this case, I have to work as a police officer, and even on vacation I am fighting crime in various ways. Nishihara Tadahiko was about to sigh, but suddenly his sensitive hearing made him discover footsteps coming towards him, and there was more than one person.

He immediately shrank back into the corner and hid himself more carefully.

Nishihara Tadahiko is in a bit of an awkward situation now. Although he inherited the ID card's overly strong body and can recall the memory on the ID card according to his needs, he cannot immediately master the experience and skills he has gained as a police officer. So in order to cope with the next mission, he must be more careful.

This was probably a large warehouse. Judging from the direction and distance of the sound, there were probably two people coming, and they were talking in low voices along the way.

"Mr. Ishihara, this time the explosives will be delivered to you tomorrow. As usual, you can use them however you want, but you must not reveal the source of the goods."

The person who spoke seemed to be in his forties, and most likely he was a member of the suspected kidnapping gang that he had been following. And the Mr. Ishihara he mentioned was probably the buyer this time.

However, the content of their conversation made Nishihara Tadahiko somewhat concerned. He didn't expect that the item they were trading was actually explosives?

At this time, the man called Mr. Ishihara also spoke.

"It doesn't matter where this thing comes from, as long as the explosives are good. This time I must set a trap to blow up that evil policeman. Let's see how the Metropolitan Police Department can show off its power this time!"

Ishihara's tone was very strange, as if he was mentally ill. However, after hearing this voice, Nishihara Tadahiko's eyes widened in surprise.

This guy called Ishihara has the same voice as the bomber who almost killed Kenji Hagihara.

Moreover, he just said that he wanted to set a trap to kill the police. Nishihara Tadahiko has already understood everything. He is the bomber who is about to blow up Matsuda Jinpei on the Ferris wheel!
