Chapter 123

The public security elite finally told Nishihara Tadahiko to keep the secret, and left in a hurry after saying "I'll contact you when I have any news."

Nishihara Tadahiko immediately contacted Kagamino Satoshi.

Nishihara Tadahiko: Do ​​you still have your clean online identity? If I succeed in getting in touch with the police, and they ask me who I asked to hack into the kidnapper's computer, your online identity will definitely come into the police's sight. If you don't want to be exposed, you should disguise yourself as soon as possible.

Satoshi Kagino: Don't worry. I may not be as good as you in other aspects, but when it comes to computers, I have never been afraid of anyone!

But you, why do you suddenly want to cooperate with the police? Are you suddenly desperate and want to get a promotion and a raise to reach the pinnacle of your life?

Nishihara Tadahiko: After all, my current identity is Nishihara Tadahiko, and Nishihara Tadahiko's greatest obsession is his younger brother Nishihara Toshiya. Now that I have found Nishihara Toshiya's name on the list, my next investigation direction will inevitably be towards the direction related to the Black Organization.

If I want to get the information of the Black Organization, I will definitely be noticed by the police. So why should I insist on fighting alone? Isn't it better to cooperate with the police?

More importantly, I have confirmed that Jun is the hooded vest, the real wine of the winery, and it is very likely related to some human experiments of the organization. So whether I consider it from the perspective of an older brother taking care of his younger brother or from the perspective of comic effects, I must pull Jun out of the black mire of the winery before the main plot begins!

When it comes to changing from black to gray and then back to white, is there any better option than letting the police do it themselves?

Kagino Satoshi: Emmmm, I must say, Nishihara Tadahiko, you look like a righteous policeman, but you are surprisingly cunning. You are really more difficult to guard against than when you were Hoshikawa Kazuaki.

Nishihara Tadahiko: There is no such thing as being defenseless. I am just an ordinary office worker policeman. How can I compare to a hacker like you who can dig out other people's little secrets with just a flick of your finger. By the way, have you found any traces of the bomber?

Kagino Satoshi: Uh… I now suspect that this is probably due to the plot, and we are not allowed to prevent the bomber from doing anything in advance. Why don’t we move on to the next step and do something directly on the Ferris wheel?

Nishihara Tadahiko: Well, let's do it the old way this time. I'll leave the task of monitoring the camera to you. I have to adjust my body's reaction to the poisoning as soon as possible, and I'll probably have to go to the Ferris wheel myself to at least get my fighting strength back.

The two of them lost consciousness, and Nishihara Tadahiko rubbed his throbbing temples tiredly and let out a long sigh of relief. After working so hard for such a long time, he could finally take a good rest.

Daisuke Umeda, who had just returned to the Public Security Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department, fell into unprecedented self-doubt.

Umeda Daisuke is a subordinate of Morobu Kagemitsu who was assigned by the Ministry of Public Security to infiltrate the Black Organization as an undercover agent, and is also his contact person during his undercover period. For two years, he has been diligently handling various matters of all sizes that cannot be seen in the light for his gentle but brave direct superior. Although he is not very outstanding, he has never made any mistakes.

However, his experience in the hospital today made him doubt for the first time whether his confidentiality work was not sufficient.

Umeda Daisuke was the public security elite that Nishihara Tadahiko had communicated with before. He had suddenly received an order from Morobushi Kagemitsu to intervene in the work of the Investigation Division and seize the right to investigate the warehouse shooting case. One reason was that this case was done by the Black Organization and it was not suitable for ordinary police to investigate too much. Another very important reason was to get that piece of information.

After a secret investigation in the organization, Morobushi Jingguang discovered that the organization attached great importance to an experiment that had been abandoned seventeen years ago. It even reached the point where the boss of the organization was willing to give up many tasks to ensure the success of the relevant experiments.

After a long period of careful investigation, Morobushi Jingguang judged that if they could figure out the secrets involved in this experiment, they would be close to completely destroying the organization.

Therefore, Morobushi Jingguang tried to contact the experimenter who was said to be in charge of these experiments, the much-criticized Balvenie Whisky in the organization, and successfully formed a temporary partner. Their first task was to clean up all the relevant information left by the laboratory that year. The list of names in the hands of the kidnapper was the intelligence he wanted most at this stage.

According to the current investigation by Morobushi Kagemitsu, seventeen years ago, the laboratory was destroyed by an earthquake, and a large number of experimenters and experimental subjects escaped in the chaos. Although most of them have been found and dealt with, there are inevitably some who slipped through the net, and those people must be the ones who know the most about the mysterious laboratory.

Morobushi Kagemitsu wanted to find those people to get information, and the kidnapper happened to have the list of experimental subjects that had been sold to the laboratory. It can be said that as long as he could get the list, he could take a big step forward in destroying the organization. He gave this task to his trusted public security subordinate, Umeda Daisuke. The day after the kidnapper was killed by Momotomi, Umeda Daisuke took the initiative to contact Morobushi Kagemitsu and asked for an important interview.

When the official members of the organization have no mission, they are relatively free. After a series of operations such as disguising his identity, changing subways, and pretending to be a delivery man, Morobushi Kagemitsu finally found an opportunity to meet Umeda Daisuke.

However, what Morobushi Kagemitsu did not expect was that when the two met for the first time, Umeda Daisuke did not rush to report his work as usual, but asked Morobushi Kagemitsu right away whether he needed to change his contact person.

Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...

Is it really because I gave you too much work that it drove you to mental breakdown?

After a series of enlightenment and understanding of the situation, Morobushi Kagemitsu finally figured out the reason why Daisuke Umeda was so abnormal.

"Mr. Zhufu, I can guarantee that we have thoroughly investigated Nishihara Tadahiko's life. He has absolutely no chance to come into contact with that organization, and it is impossible for him to know your identity and mission in advance."

Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded to indicate that he understood. He was very clear about the ability of this subordinate. Since she said so, then there must be no problem with the identity of Nishihara Tadahiko.

"Thank you for your hard work, Umeda. Although this 'cooperation' is indeed very beneficial to us, I still need to think about it again."

Morobushi Kagemitsu's reaction was also within Daisuke Umeda's expectations. Although his boss was young and good-natured, he was very careful and thoughtful when handling work matters. He was ruthless during his undercover period, so that he was often accompanied by a strong murderous aura, which made Daisuke Umeda's hair stand on end every time.

If Daisuke Umeda hadn't known that Mr. Morobushi was actually a very gentle and friendly policeman, he might have really thought that he was some kind of vicious and dangerous criminal.

In this way, Nishihara Tadahiko is also very similar to Mr. Morobushi in this respect. They are both very kind in some ways, but once they get serious, they become very scary.

Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at the partial list of abducted persons and the data on their final destinations that he had obtained from Nishihara Tadahiko, and his eyes were fixed on the name "Nishihara Toshiya" and the words "On XX/XX/XX, sold to Tokyo Institute of Life Sciences Self-Funded Research."

He put away the information, looked up and said to Daisuke Umeda who had been waiting for his order:

"Don't alarm him yet. I will observe this man in person over the next few days and then make a judgment. Until then, let him rest and recuperate."

Umeda Daisuke nodded immediately and added:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhufu. Even if you don't tell me, he will be on vacation for the past few days. I heard that when he was tracking down the kidnapper, he also learned that a bomber bought explosives to retaliate against the bomb disposal police, so he has been trying to find the bomber and save the threatened police."

Morofushi Kagemitsu paused after putting away the documents, turned to look at Umeda Daisuke, and asked:

"Revenge against bomb disposal police? How could this bomber be so arrogant?"

"It is said that he was one of the two people who blackmailed the Metropolitan Police Department with a bomb four years ago." Daisuke Umeda answered casually.

Morofushi Jingguang's hand trembled violently. As an excellent sniper, he couldn't even keep his hand steady at this moment.

He knew about the case. It was said that two bomb disposal police officers became famous overnight because of the case. They were his two good friends from the police academy, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda.

So, who was the policeman that the bomber wanted to take revenge on?

On the third day, Nishihara Tadahiko's poisoning symptoms were finally relieved. At the same time, he received another leave notice from his boss, asking him to rest for a few more days to avoid any sequelae.

What? It's a holiday notice instead of a leave cancellation notice? No overtime, no emergency tasks, when did the Metropolitan Police Department's holiday benefits become so good?

In any case, this was exactly what Nishihara Tadahiko wanted, and he also wanted to prepare for the Ferris wheel incident the next day with the utmost energy.

That’s right, there is only one day left until the date of Matsuda Jinpei’s martyrdom as recorded in the original novel.

Satoshi Kagamino has secretly installed surveillance cameras at key locations on the Ferris wheel. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the rescue plan, Tadahiko Nishihara uses comic books as usual.

Following his usual pattern, he drew a series of comics that depicted the course of events into the same comic frame. This ensured that Jinpei Matsuda would be successfully rescued, and also allowed the unfortunate events caused by the comic book to occur after everything was over, so as to avoid unnecessary twists and turns in the rescue process.

Kagamino Satoshi: Although the camera has been installed and the position chosen is such that people can be photographed, I have not received any relevant information or prompts on my computer. This is very strange. When does the bomber plan to come? Didn't he plan to install a bomb in the Ferris wheel's cabin in advance?

Nishihara Tadahiko: We still have one day left, don't worry. Maybe the bomber wanted to prevent the bomb from being destroyed by a child who didn't know the seriousness of the situation, so he didn't come. We can wait until tomorrow morning and analyze it based on the surveillance footage first.

Kagino Satoshi: Then you should think about how you are going to enter the amusement park, and even go directly to the Ferris wheel. This kind of magical operation full of childish fun is not something you, an active police officer, should be able to do.

Tadahiko Nishihara: What you said does make sense. After all, I had met the bomber in the warehouse. If I didn't disguise myself properly, he would probably find out something was wrong.

How about this, I will go find Xiao Xingchuan and Ming who are in this time period today, and the better I get along with him, the better. I will take him to the amusement park tomorrow.

Kagino Satoshi: What? You remembered to take Xiaoxing but not me?

Nishihara Tadahiko: Don't join in the fun, I'm counting on you to use your superb computer skills to help me. I really won't be able to leave you when the time comes.

When Nishihara Tadahiko found the young version of Hoshikawa Kazuaki, he was exercising in the simplest way. Nishihara Tadahiko was puzzled. If he wanted to exercise, why not just do a set of punches? It would be more efficient and would have a better effect. However, when he asked, Hoshikawa Kazuaki said as if it was a matter of course:

"I'm not a policeman like you. I haven't learned so many boxing techniques. How can I possibly fight?"

Nishihara Tadahiko was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted. All the physical skills that Hoshikawa Kazuaki learned when he grew up were taught to him by Officer Nishihara, and Officer Nishihara is himself now.

He covered his face and laughed at himself. The time was wrong, the identity was wrong, and he actually forgot about this matter. So he simply softened his expression, looked at the envy hidden in Xingchuan and Ming's eyes, and said with a smile:

"Well, Xingchuan, how about I teach you police grappling and free fighting?"
