Chapter 130

The police who had been on standby outside the amusement park quickly entered, evacuated the crowd, counted the injured, and the bomber was handed over to professionals for emergency interrogation.

There was no bomb detonator hidden in the Fountain Square as Nishihara Tadahiko had expected, so the police were temporarily assigned to search for other bombs that might be hidden in the amusement park. Inspector Megure frowned as he looked towards the exit of the amusement park that had just been bombed.

The bomb disposal police of the mobile team have begun to deal with the explosion scene urgently, but after recalling the first fax he received, Jinpei Matsuda feels something is wrong. He simply drops his work and runs towards the Ferris wheel.

Officer Sato, who was evacuating the crowd, saw his action and immediately shouted:

"Matsuda! Where are you going?"

Matsuda Jinpei said without turning his head:

"The bomber's warning letter can't be a set-up. The explosions are definitely not over. I must go to the Ferris wheel to check it out! I'm sure I'll find the final answer there!"

He ran away before he could finish his words.

In Nishihara Tadahiko's mind, Kagino Satoshi was still shaking his head frantically, his voice distorted:

"Impossible? I have been keeping an eye on the bomber's whereabouts. Even though he had covered his face before, I have also paid special attention to his current outfit. He has definitely not been to the area where the explosion occurred!"

Although Nishihara Tadahiko was not a member of the Investigation Division, he was also helping to evacuate the crowd. Hearing this, he thought:

"There are two possibilities. The bomber had come here once before today in disguise and had planted the bomb in advance. Or, he has an accomplice we don't know about who is helping him!"

Kagamino Satoshi was shocked:

"No way? Didn't his accomplice in the bombing already die in prison? Isn't that why the bomber wanted to take revenge on the police? So, could it be... the ghost of his accomplice?"

Nishihara Tadahiko said helplessly:

"Don't talk nonsense. There is no such thing as a ghost. You forgot that with the bomber's current mental state, it is impossible for him to disguise himself so perfectly. But in fact, not only did he disguise himself, he even fooled your surveillance system. What else could it be if someone is helping him in the dark?"

Kagino Satoshi was thoughtful:

"So, the accomplice who helped him disguise himself also helped him complete the remaining steps of installing the bomb?"

Nishihara Tadahiko: "It may not be installation, it may just be transportation. We'll have to wait and see what news the mobile unit's □□ processing team has."

Kagino Satoshi: "Yeah, Kenji is already there... Oh, where is Jinpei? Oh no!"

Kagino Satoshi suddenly yelled, "Oh no! The surveillance shows that Jinping is actually on the Ferris wheel!"

Nishihara Tadahiko was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about evacuating the crowd. He quickly entrusted the work to other police officers who came to help, and ran towards the Ferris wheel. On the way, he took out his cell phone and called the police officer in charge of interrogating the bomber:

"Moses Moses? Has the interrogation of the bomber produced any results? How many bombs did he plant? Who was responsible for the previous explosion?"

The police on the other side were also frustrated:

"This criminal is definitely mentally ill. He always thought that he had prepared 'fireworks before the festival' and 'fireworks to celebrate the festival'. As for the bomb that just exploded, he insisted that it was a punishment for postponing the festival."

Nishihara Tadahiko thought quickly in his mind, festival, fireworks, these strange words must have some meaning here. According to the original plot, what the bomber really wanted to do was to blow up the police who were defusing the bomb on the Ferris wheel.

However, what troubled him was that Jinpei Matsuda had already boarded the Ferris wheel just like in the original story.

However, unlike the original novel, the bomber this time was not hiding in the crowd around the Ferris wheel, but had been caught. Without someone operating the detonator, would the Ferris wheel's power supply control room not be detonated?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard another explosion from the direction of the Ferris wheel. Nishihara Tadahiko's heart sank instantly.

This shouldn't happen!

The phone call was not disconnected. The bomber on the other side also heard the explosion and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha! The fireworks before the ceremony have finally been lit. It looks like the first offering has finally made it to the altar!"

The policeman in charge of the interrogation on the opposite side was probably angry about the bomb. With a "click", the phone was hung up.

Fireworks before a festival? Explosions?

Nishihara Tadahiko's heart moved, and a certain thought instantly flashed through his mind.

If the bomber mistook the explosion of the Ferris wheel's power control room as a pre-festival firework display, then the so-called festival fireworks could have been the explosion of the bomb in carriage 72, right?

So, the so-called first sacrifice is Jinpei Matsuda?

This is not surprising. Considering the extent of the bomber's hatred for Jinpei Matsuda, if he had to use an explosion to retaliate against the police, choosing Jinpei Matsuda as the target of revenge is indeed something he would do.

But if there is a first sacrifice, there must be a second sacrifice. So what was the second sacrifice chosen by the bomber? Also, both explosions took place before the festival, so what was the festival?

When Nishihara Tadahiko rushed to the bottom of the Ferris wheel, Megure Juzo had already arrived there and was looking up at the Ferris wheel that had stopped running.

In just a few minutes, two explosions occurred in the amusement park. Fortunately, there were few people at the exit at the time, and the 72nd seat of the Ferris wheel was closed to the public at the request of the police, so no major accidents occurred. However, the chaos caused by the explosion and the panic it brought to people were real.

It is no surprise that the amusement park bombing will become the focus of media attention for some time to come, and the Metropolitan Police Department's credibility will inevitably face a wave of tests. Only by stopping the damage in time and solving the case as soon as possible can the impact of this situation be alleviated.

"Inspector Megure, what's going on? Any news from the Explosives Unit?"

Nishihara Tadahiko asked as soon as he saw Megure Jusan.

Megure Jusan knew that he was also working overtime to help, and was also the provider of the explosive information, so he answered as briefly as possible:

"Matsuda has found the bomb in the No. 72 seat of the Ferris wheel, but when the seat rose to the top, there was a sudden explosion in the power supply control room, and the Ferris wheel was forced to stop. And there was news from the mobile team that the bomb disposal team determined that the source of the explosion at the exit was a cart that someone had placed there, and the bomb was placed in the cart. It should have been covered up, so no one noticed the existence of the bomb."

As he spoke, Megure Juzo took out several photos of the explosion debris.

Tadahiko Nishihara took the photos and looked through them quickly, then suddenly froze when he saw a photo of a corpse.

The photo shows a burnt and blackened piece of metal that looks like a decoration of some kind. However, to Nishihara Tadahiko, it looks surprisingly familiar.

"What's wrong, Nishihara, do you have any impression of this thing?" Megure Jusan asked immediately.

Nishihara Tadahiko remembered it immediately without even having to think about it. This shape was more like a brand logo than a pattern. It was something he saw the first time he entered the dungeon, and he was extremely impressed.

"Yes. I have seen this pattern. It is the logo of the logistics company I infiltrated a few days ago. And the kidnapper who sold the explosives to the bomber also worked in this logistics company.

If this was really found from the cart containing the bomb, then following this clue might be able to find out who placed the bomb at the exit of the amusement park.

Of course, I think it is more likely that it was the bomber himself. After all, there is every reason why he would have pushed a cart away when he left the warehouse. For example, the cart could have been filled with explosives. "

Megure Jusan was inspired upon hearing this and immediately arranged for his men to investigate the logistics company and the trolley. However, Nishihara Tadahiko was suddenly stunned when he glanced at the destroyed power supply control room.

He remembered what happened on the phone just now, when the bomber said "fireworks before the festival" the first thing he said when he heard the explosion.

At that time, I heard the direction of the explosion and judged that the explosion came from the power supply control room. It was for the same reason that Megure Jusan rushed here before me. But how did the bomber on the other end of the phone know that the explosion must have happened here, and not in the Ferris wheel seat, or from a bomb somewhere else?

Unless, the order of the explosions was designed in advance!

Moreover, judging by the bomber's surprise at the time, even he himself did not know when the "pre-festival fireworks" would be triggered. In other words, something must have happened to trigger a certain mechanism left by the bomber, which led to the bomb in the power supply control room being detonated.

What happened then?

Obviously, the seat No. 72 where Jinpei Matsuda was sitting had risen to the highest altitude.

It turns out that it was Jinpei Matsuda, the man chosen by the bomber as the "first sacrifice", who personally lit the fireworks before the festival. And these fireworks also trapped him in the sky, facing the danger of being sacrificed.

However, this also shows that there are no other bombs in the amusement park except the bomb on the Ferris wheel. Otherwise, the bomber could not control the time when Matsuda Jinpei boarded the Ferris wheel, and would not know when the explosion was the "fireworks before the festival."

Only if there are no other bombs in the entire playground to interfere, the bomber can instantly determine the location of the explosion. This is good news for the current situation.

Nishihara Tadahiko told this inference to Megure Juzo, who was obviously relieved. He immediately withdrew the personnel responsible for finding the remaining bombs and instead asked them to find the detonator that controlled the bomb in the Ferris wheel.

"What? The detonator hasn't been found by the police yet?"

Nishihara Tadahiko was really shocked this time.

He had previously judged from the bomber's reaction that the detonator was hidden somewhere in the Fountain Square, and suggested that the Investigation Division search for the detonator as soon as the bomber was caught. And when he used comic books to interfere with and manipulate fate, he had clearly drawn a comic of "the relevant police personnel are handling the detonator".

According to his experience, the plot drawn in the comic book is bound to happen. By now, the police should have obtained the detonator and be able to stop the bomb in the Ferris wheel at any time. That is why he was not too nervous about Matsuda Jinpei getting on the Ferris wheel.

The most that could happen is that Jinpei Matsuda got the hint of the next explosion location from the bomb in the last three seconds, and then the police cooperated to stop the bomb at the last minute. This operation was thrilling but not dangerous.

But now, Megure Juzo told him that the police did not find the detonator in advance as he expected!

How could this be? How could a comic book's manipulation of fate go so wrong?

If there is no detonator to stop the bomb timer, the bomb will definitely explode on time. Doesn't that mean that Jinpei Matsuda is in danger!

At this moment, Megure Juzo's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID, then looked at Nishihara Tadahiko with a serious face and said:

"It's Matsuda's phone number."
