Chapter 119

As the reporter and witness, Tadahiko Nishihara simply stayed at the scene.

According to the original procedure, Hoshikawa and Ming, who also participated in the series of events just now, should have stayed together to provide clues to the police. However, considering that he was young and was in a hurry to deliver the dog to his employer, Nishihara Tadahiko took a statement for him on behalf of his police colleagues who came to the scene, left his contact information, and let him go back first.

The police car arrived quickly, and as usual, it was Officer Megure who responded. Date Kou also got out of the car behind Officer Megure.

Although they had a general understanding of the case after receiving the call, they were still shocked when they actually saw Nishihara Tadahiko's condition at that time.

The truth is that Nishihara Tadahiko now looks too fierce.

In the three years since graduating from the police academy, Nishihara Tadahiko has solved many cases of missing persons and kidnappings, and because of the nature of his cases, he is often interviewed by the media. In addition, his appearance is also very outstanding, so he is also a hot topic in the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, such a person who has always been excellent in all aspects now looks tired, his movements are sluggish and weak, and his body is full of stains from the cardboard box. At first glance, no one can connect him with the high-spirited Officer Nishihara on weekdays.

"Xiyuan? I heard that you accidentally inhaled some hallucinogenic gas. Why didn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Inspector Megure stepped forward and asked with concern. Although they were in different departments, the Special Crime Investigation Division where Nishihara Tadahiko worked had cooperated with Inspector Megure many times, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"Inspector Megure, I plan to go there soon. Before that, I think it would be better to explain the situation to you in person."

Nishihara Tadahiko tried his best to keep his spirits up and said this with a serious face.

Afterwards, Nishihara Tadahiko led them towards the warehouse while briefly and quickly explaining the situation.

"You mean to say that the kidnapper you have been investigating was engaged in an illegal transaction in secret, and not only did he almost kill you, but he was also killed in the subsequent transaction?"

Inspector Megure's expression was also extremely solemn. He could see that although this case was not complicated, there might be more things involved than he had imagined.

"The other party left quickly after the gunshot. I was in a hurry to take the child Xingchuan to a safe place, so I didn't have time to check. After Xingchuan left, I went back to take a look, and the kidnapper had lost his vital signs."

After Nishihara Tadahiko finished speaking, he also shook his head and sighed, feeling very sorry.

According to his original idea, if the police could capture the kidnapper alive, they would not only be able to obtain more information about the kidnapping gang, but also be able to better understand the bomber. Maybe they could also take this opportunity to catch the person in advance and eliminate the crisis of Matsuda Jinpei silently.

However, things did not go as planned, and the kidnapper was eventually killed by the winery, and the one who did it was the hooded vest, the younger brother of the ID card this time. Nishihara Tadahiko had to accept the reality that the plot could not be avoided, and then he cheered up and continued to think about how to change the plot.

When everyone arrived at the warehouse, they could smell a strong smell of blood before they even entered the door. The tragic scene in the warehouse made people feel heavy. No matter who the deceased was in his previous life or what crimes he had committed, he was still a human life. But now he fell in a pool of blood because of an illegal transaction, and the murderer walked away in a swagger. This made the police present look very unhappy.

Date Kou had worked with Nishihara Tadahiko on a case in the past, so he skipped the greetings and asked directly:

"Xiyuan, during the time you were hiding, did you not see the appearance of the person you were trading with?"

Nishihara Tadahiko sighed and shook his head:

"I had just come out of the hallucination caused by the poison gas, and my mobility had not yet recovered. I also had to protect the child beside me, so I didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, let alone secretly observe the situation of the transaction partner."

Ida Kou also put himself in the shoes of Nishihara Tadahiko at the time. His mind and mobility were already affected by drugs, and he had to take a student who accidentally entered and deal with a murderous criminal. In the end, it was already amazing that both of them survived. To be fair, if it were me, I would never be as perfect as Nishihara Tadahiko.

He sincerely apologized to Nishihara Tadahiko, and then suggested again that he go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible. However, Nishihara Tadahiko shook his head and went behind the shelf where he was hiding at the time. It was here that he was poisoned and also here that he escaped from the clutches of the kidnapper and the bomber.

While waiting for the police to arrive, Nishihara Tadahiko discovered that the necklace he always wore was missing. He thought that he must have accidentally torn it off when he was fighting with the two criminals when he was poisoned, and it was very likely that it fell on the shelf.

That's why he endured the discomfort and followed the detective back to the crime scene, just to get the necklace back. That necklace was the only thing that Nishihara Tadahiko could use to remember his brother. So as long as he had a little strength left, he would get the necklace back.

Fortunately, lost items that are not related to the case itself can be returned by simply registering them and do not need to be retained as evidence.

However, when Nishihara Tadahiko actually saw the fight between himself and the two criminals, he fell into deep confusion.

It's so clean here.

It's not the kind of cleanliness that is spotless, but the traces that should have belonged to him have all been cleaned up before anyone else. The other party's method is extremely skillful, and it is definitely not comparable to the kidnapper that Nishihara Tadahiko chased all the way to his lair.

Who erased the traces here? Why did they do that?

Nishihara Tadahiko should have been puzzled, but his heart immediately skipped a beat and an unbelievable guess emerged.

This could only have been done by his younger brother, a hooded vest who came to complete the transaction.

When he was Hoshikawa Kazuaki in the main timeline, he had seen the face of the hooded vest. So after getting the memory of this ID card, he was sure that the other party was indeed the younger brother of Nishihara Tadahiko. So it seemed to make sense that he would help clean up the traces.

Even though the two have been separated for more than a decade, he knows that Nishihara Tadahiko is now a policeman and that they are naturally opposed to each other; even though he knows that Nishihara Tadahiko was partly responsible for him being kidnapped by the kidnapper, he still wants to protect his brother Nishihara Tadahiko.

Nishihara Tadahiko's nose suddenly felt sore, and the guilt and regret in his heart almost drowned him. The fatigue and weakness that had been suppressed in his body burst out in an instant, making him dizzy, and finally his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, Nishihara Tadahiko was already lying on a hospital bed. There was an IV in his arm, and the dizziness and weakness had been alleviated a lot. The nurse told him that it would take about two days for the toxic gas he inhaled to be completely metabolized and that there would be no irreversible damage, which made Nishihara Tadahiko secretly relieved.

In his consciousness, Kagino Satoshi was yelling again, strongly condemning Nishihara Tadahiko for only caring about the case and not caring about his body. Nishihara Tadahiko remembered something and asked in his consciousness:

Did you get the transaction information later? Why did the original plan to create chaos turn into a murder scene?

Kagino Satoshi: Oh, forget it. I didn't have time to deal with the chaos. I only copied less than half of the data, and the other party directly blew up the computer.

I later sneaked into the Metropolitan Police Department's database and looked through it. Not only the computer host, but even the USB flash drive was not spared. I'm afraid that the data no longer exists. The data I have is not complete. After extracting it, I only got a part of the list.

Nishihara Tadahiko was stunned and asked: What list?

Satoshi Kagino: A list of victims abducted by a certain trafficking gang over the years, even including where they were sold to in the end. Of course, it was only a partial list. But I found a special name among them. You would never guess who it was.

Nishihara Tadahiko didn't expect that after Xiaozhi entered the dungeon, he would become so childish. Seeing that he was keeping the secret, he asked in cooperation: Then tell me, who did you find on the list?

Kagano Satoshi: Your younger brother of this identity, Nishihara Toshiya! And the records show that the transaction party that bought him was actually a laboratory, and this laboratory was closed down by the police nearly 17 years ago. The reason was that it was conducting illegal human experiments!
