Chapter 128

Just as Hagiwara Kenji recognized the person in the photo, Satoshi Kagino called. Hagiwara Kenji's expression froze and he picked up the phone immediately.

"Moshi Moshi? Brother Yan, the photo you saw was captured by me from the surveillance of the Ferris wheel distribution room in the amusement park. In addition to the distribution room, he also stayed in the Ferris wheel seat, and there may have been bombs installed there.

Then he covered his face and hid among the tourists. I did not find the bomber or anyone covering his face among the people leaving the amusement park. So he must have stayed at the scene and planned to detonate the bomb while the police were defusing it.

And I suspect that after the failure four years ago, the bomber may have improved the bomb this time, and it will no longer be subject to the interference of the signal jammer, but may explode at any time, so you must not be discovered by the other side this time."

Hagiwara Kenji immediately contacted his superiors and reported the clue. Soon, in the police car heading to the amusement park, Megure Juzo received a call.

"What? We need plainclothes to enter the playground?"

Megure Jusan held up his cell phone and looked at the police car coming with sirens blaring, and the main entrance of the amusement park which was already very close, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Why didn't you tell me such an important clue earlier? It's already this late, the police from the investigation department have already gone in, and it's too late to change into plain clothes now.

On the phone, the superior had obviously realized that the situation was not good, and quickly said:

"Then send out plainclothes police officers who are not on the scene. In addition, temporarily second police officers on vacation from other departments to help. In short, this time the Metropolitan Police Department must control the situation before the bomber makes a move, otherwise the scandal from four years ago will inevitably be exposed again. Our Metropolitan Police Department cannot continue to lose credibility!"

Megure Juzo obviously knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately contacted other departments for emergency support. Nishihara Tadahiko, who was already in the amusement park, also received a call from his boss not long after. After briefly explaining the case, he was asked to cooperate in investigating the identity of the bomber.

Nishihara Tadahiko was wearing a mask bought from the amusement park, covering his face tightly, and at first glance he matched the description of the bomber. He happily accepted the task with a muffled voice, and then his eyes met with another plainclothes policeman.

"Mr. Ida... What a coincidence! You also received the support mission?"

From a distance, Ko Ida saw a man with a mask covering his face, acting suspiciously and looking around furtively. He thought he was the bomber who threatened to take revenge on the police. But the closer he got, the more familiar he felt.

It was not until the other party called out his name directly that he remembered that the person in front of him was Tadahiko Nishihara, who had brought back news of the bomber from the warehouse case scene a few days ago.

Date Kou looked at Nishihara Tadahiko's outfit in amazement and couldn't help asking:

"Xiyuan, why are you dressed like this?"

Nishihara Tadahiko said helplessly:

"There was no other way. The bomber had seen my face, so I had to temporarily disguise myself to avoid alerting the enemy."

After saying this, he thought of the stability and reliability that Date Kou had shown when solving cases, so he asked:

"Could it be that all the members of the search team are here in plain clothes?"

Date Kou smiled bitterly:

"No, most of them came here as police officers. In order to avoid irritating the bomber's already unstable emotions, they all stayed outside the playground. Only those of us who were captured temporarily to provide support were allowed in in plain clothes. There were only about six or seven of us in total.

Before we came in, we all got a pair of radio contactors outside. Are you also here for temporary support? If you don’t have one, you can use mine first. I have two pairs here.”

Nishihara Tadahiko made a quick calculation and thought that this was enough to check the entire amusement park, so he said to him:

"Then I'll leave this area to you. I'll go check out the other side."

After saying that, he took the extra contact from Date Kou and walked towards the direction where Xingchuan and Ming had left. No matter how smart Xingchuan and Ming were, they were only fifteen years old. Since the Metropolitan Police Department had sent out plainclothes officers, it would be better for him to pay more attention to Xingchuan and Ming.

In the amusement park, the young Hoshikawa and Akira were carefully observing a man wearing a duck cap and a black mask. The man was sitting on a bench in the amusement park to rest, and Hoshikawa and Akira followed the TV show and hid behind a nearby tree, occasionally poking their heads out and looking at the man's left hand holding the mineral water.

Left-handed, that's right.

Looking at the big backpack he placed on the bench, it was bulging with stuff, most likely the doll costumes that had been taken off. There was a big black umbrella leaning against the bench, but its purpose was unclear.

However, the coat he was wearing was clearly a reversible style, so perhaps the bomber wore the dark grey coat inside out after installing the bomb.

But would a bomber walk so leisurely on a bench to cool off after planting a bomb?

No, I'll have to look at comparing insurance.

Just as Kagino Satoshi was hiding behind a tree and concentrating on analyzing the situation, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He was startled and thought he was attacked by the bomber's accomplice. He turned around and leaned against the tree in a defensive posture, but the next second he heard a familiar chuckle.

Xingchuan and Ming looked up and saw that there was no accomplice of the bomber there. The person standing in front of them was clearly Officer Nishihara, who they had just separated from not long ago.

"Phew! Officer Nishihara, you scared me to death. Oh, look at that person!"

He then stated his previous speculation.

Nishihara Tadahiko looked in the direction he pointed, then shook his head and denied it:

"It's probably not him. Look at his exposed hands. The skin is extremely pale, and there are large scabs on some places. He must be suffering from some skin disease. In addition, he is carrying a black umbrella. He must be afraid of being exposed to direct sunlight, so he wears a mask. And this person's mood is much calmer than that of the bomber. Obviously different from the person I met that day."

As the only person in the entire Metropolitan Police Department who had recently come into contact with the bomber, Nishihara Tadahiko has a natural advantage in identifying the bomber. This is also the reason why he was temporarily transferred to support the Special Crime Division even though he clearly belongs to it.

Xingchuan and Ming sighed in disappointment, and sighed in their hearts again, it's really not easy to do investigation. Fortunately, I rejected my classmates' suggestion to work as a part-time detective before, otherwise, I'm afraid I would be so tired that I wouldn't even have the energy to draw comics.

At this moment, a few high school students walked by behind them, complaining that someone was throwing doll costumes in the public restroom, which was really causing trouble.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Nishihara Tadahiko looked at each other and immediately ran towards the public restroom at the same time. As expected, they found the discarded doll costume in one of the cubicles, which was exactly the same as the one in the video provided by Kagino Satoshi.

Tadahiko Nishihara immediately contacted Satoshi Kagamino and asked him to retrieve the video of people who had been to the public toilet during this period, and then went forward to grab the doll costume and carefully inspect it.

"There is no store logo or event logo on it. It looks like a privately purchased doll costume. Judging from the size, it should belong to the bomber himself."

Nishihara Tadahiko slid his fingers over the doll's fur, then looked carefully from the side and found a circular indentation at the right wrist.

"The bomber was wearing a watch on his right hand. There was some lint on the edge, and it looked like a badly worn metal strap."

He flipped the inside of the hood and easily found a few brown hairs on the top of his head that were a different color from the one in the video.

"He even wore a wig? This disguise is really professional. With that guy's mental state, he probably wouldn't have thought of such details. It seems that there is probably someone behind him giving him advice."

Nishihara Tadahiko lowered his head to check the zipper again, and then found a few fiber-like objects that had been clipped from the clothes in a hidden location. After he put them in the evidence bag he brought with him, Xingchuan and Mingjian came over and asked in confusion:

"That's strange. Wasn't the bomber supposed to be wearing a dark grey shirt? Why are these fibers green? Did we find the wrong person again?"

"That's not surprising. You remember that the clothes worn by the bomber were the same style as the one you just observed, and both can be worn on both sides. Maybe he had put on the clothes inside out in some blind spot before putting on the doll costume to hide from others."

Xingchuan Heming's eyes lit up:

"So we can already tell what the bomber is wearing. It's a reversible suit with green and dark grey on the front and back!"

At this time, Kagino Satoshi also gave a recovery:

"We can only find a rough range, which is an area southwest of the Ferris wheel."

That's enough!

Nishihara Tadahiko immediately turned on the communicator he had taken from Date Kou and spoke directly on the police channel:

"This is Nishihara Tadahiko. It has been confirmed that the bomber was wearing a reversible green and dark gray top, a watch with a metal strap on his right wrist, and black hair or a brown wig. He may be active in the southwest area of ​​the Ferris wheel."

"Roger that! This is Masato Nishimoto, already in the southwest area of ​​the Ferris wheel."

"Roger that! This is Date Kou, heading to the southwest area of ​​the Ferris wheel."

"receive……"

Responses came one after another from the communicator, and Nishihara Tadahiko smiled with satisfaction. These colleagues of his were indeed very helpful.

However, when they walked out of the public restroom with peace of mind and were about to rush over, the voice of the police officer who called himself Masato Nishimoto rang in the communicator.

But compared with his confidence just now, Nishimoto Masato actually sounded a little guilty at this moment.

"This is Masato Nishimoto. I just saw a man who matched the description and he left on a tourist train. In order to avoid alerting the target, I didn't dare to chase the train, so... so, I lost the target!"

Someone on the communicator was shouting to check the map of the amusement park to find the train route. However, Nishihara Tadahiko, who had seen the map earlier, knew that this route was not marked on the map. He chose to ask Kagano Satoshi for help.

Kagino Satoshi: Let me check for you. Ah! I found it. This is a direct train. The only stop is near where you are now!

Nishihara Tadahiko's eyes lit up: "It seems that this bomber is destined to fall into my hands. Xiaozhi, do me a favor, I want him to fall into the trap this time!"
