Chapter 134

Xingchuan and Ming maintained the same posture for a long time, and they could already feel the pain in their arms. They had just returned from the dungeon, and before they could recover, they were holding a bomb that could kill people at any time. Even though Xingchuan and Ming knew that this would happen, they still couldn't help but tense up for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to tighten their arms.

"careful!"

Nishihara Tadahiko reacted extremely quickly. He reached out his hand quickly before Hoshikawa and Akira's hands shook, and his fingers firmly grasped Hoshikawa and Akira's arms like iron clamps, avoiding an explosion caused by shaking hands.

Upon seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei quickly took out his tools and walked forward, saying soothingly:

"Don't be afraid, I will quickly help you defuse the bomb. You just need to hold on a little longer and stay calm."

As he spoke, he had already directed the mobile team members who came with him to set up the lift in front of Xingchuan and Ming.

The lift was placed directly below the bomb. As the height gradually increased and the distance to the bomb got closer, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

The closer they got to the height of the bomb, the slower the rise became. Hoshikawa and Ming could even feel the slight deformation of the clothes when they were touched by the surface of the elevator.

Finally, the weight in my hand lightened, and I heard Matsuda Jinpei's steady voice:

"That's enough. Don't be in a hurry now. Release your hands slowly and try not to touch any other part of the bomb."

Hoshikawa Kazuaki followed his instructions and slowly loosened his grip, then quickly retreated at Nishihara Tadahiko's signal, leaving the position vacant. Matsuda Jinpei immediately stepped forward, took out tools and prepared to defuse the bomb.

Finally freeing his aching hands, Xingchuan and Ming realized belatedly that their arms had become numb from the prolonged force, and their skin and muscles felt like tiny needles were piercing them. His hands were cold, and his palms were filled with cold sweat.

"Let's go out first."

Said Nishihara Tadahiko, he put his hand on Hoshikawa Kazuaki's shoulder. The warm touch made Hoshikawa Kazuaki feel a little bit of power and reassurance, so he tried to stop his wild thoughts and followed Nishihara Tadahiko to quickly leave this dangerous bomb disposal site.

Although the script was designed by Hoshikawa Kazuaki himself, and the possibility of various dangers has been reduced to the minimum, it is different from the previous time when he came to the hotel to act with sufficient mental preparation. This time he switched from the safe environment in the copy to the extremely dangerous bomb scene in a second, and his mentality dropped from a calm and reliable young policeman to an introverted and indifferent high school student. He also persisted with the bomb in his hand for such a long time, and it was very difficult for him to remain calm now.

"Huh! It finally came out!"

After coming out of the hotel, Kagino Tomo closed his eyes, raised his hands high, and exhaled deeply towards the sky.

Nishihara Tadahiko was amused by his reaction:

"If you're so scared, don't force yourself to come along."

Kagino Satoshi immediately got angry, stared at him with wide eyes and retorted:

"How could I be afraid? I have great faith in Xiaoxing's script, okay? And who do you think Xiaoxing and I are risking our lives to face the bomb?"

Nishihara Tadahiko raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Don't be so formal. There's no need to distinguish between the three of us. And this time, we were able to use our hands to discover the bomb planted by Nagata Ryo in advance and resolve it without any damage. Isn't this also good?"

Kagino Satoshi found that he didn't know how to refute, and his cheeks puffed up in anger. Hoshikawa and Ming laughed out loud. He really didn't expect that they were the same, just changing their identities, and the difference between them would become so big.

It's so interesting to watch myself arguing with myself.

A few minutes later, Jinpei Matsuda and his bomb disposal team rushed out of the hotel building while they were chatting and laughing. One of them had a special box in his hand, which was tightly sealed and probably contained the bomb he had just held.

Seeing that Nishihara Tadahiko was still waiting downstairs, Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyelids as a greeting, and reached out to rub Kagano Satoshi's head.

Satoshi Kagino screamed "Wow" as he escaped from Jinpei Matsuda's clutches, and his already puffy cheeks were now about to turn into a puffer fish.

Nishihara Tadahiko was used to his attitude, so he smiled and walked up to him and asked:

"Is everything going well? I didn't expect you guys to come so quickly this time."

Matsuda Jinpei did not answer immediately upon hearing this. Instead, he frowned, unusually uncertain, and replied:

"Nothing went wrong. A bomb of that magnitude wouldn't take me more than three minutes. But there is one thing that I'm concerned about."

Nishihara Tadahiko was stunned and asked, "What did you find?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked around and leaned in, speaking to him in a low voice:

"Do you remember the explosion that happened in the amusement park three years ago? I dismantled a very personalized bomb on the Ferris wheel. The bomb today is at least 80% similar to the one back then in some details."

His expression was solemn, and it was obvious that he was still brooding over the bomber who had nearly killed him and then died of poisoning for unknown reasons.

Nishihara Tadahiko couldn't help but secretly praise Matsuda Jinpei's sharpness. He reminded him:

"Don't forget that the bomber committed suicide by taking poison before the case was concluded. No matter how similar this bomber is to him, it can't be the same person."

Matsuda Jinpei sighed and said:

"Of course I know that. I just suddenly thought that this wild way of making bombs actually carries a strong personal style and emotion, so it is generally difficult to encounter similar styles. Unless the technology is learned from each other. So I suspect that these two bombers may have known each other, or even be real teacher and student."

Nishihara Tadahiko looked at Matsuda Jinpei without saying anything. He didn't expect that Matsuda Jinpei could guess what Nagata Ryo had experienced just by looking at the internal structure of a bomb.

Matsuda Jinpei did not notice the shock that Nishihara Tadahiko felt. He looked towards the crowd in front of him with a serious look and said his guess in a deep voice:

"I remember you had speculated that the bomber might have a companion behind him. But because we had no real evidence, and the bomber himself was quickly ruled to have committed suicide, the matter was shelved.

But today, I saw this kind of bomb again, which was like a nesting doll. The people trapped were the three of you who were directly related to the case back then, and the person who came to defuse the bomb happened to be me, the client. It is hard to say that this was not intentional. I am very worried that the scene three years ago will happen again, and we may not be as lucky this time. ”

Nishihara Tadahiko knew that the reason why all the relevant people from three years ago were gathered here by coincidence was simply because of Hoshikawa Kazuaki's script, and it had nothing to do with Nagata Ryo who installed the bomb. So although Matsuda Jinpei's speculation and concerns sounded reasonable, they actually had nothing to do with the truth.

However, when Nishihara Tadahiko was about to say something to comfort him, he suddenly stopped. His eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Matsuda Jinpei and asked thoughtfully:

"You mean, the way a bomb is made can also tell a person's emotions at the time? Is this method accurate?"

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and spoke calmly with strong confidence:

"This is just my personal experience. It's basically a no-go. Others may not be able to do this. Of course, Hagi's words should be fine."

Nishihara Tadahiko nodded, but his expression became more serious.

"You just said that this bomb looks like a nesting doll, one ring inside another? Does this count as revealing emotions? What was the person who made the bomb thinking at the time?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked at him speechlessly and explained:

"When I say that I can see the emotions of the person who made the bomb, it's just because his emotions at the time are likely to affect his way of thinking, which is naturally reflected in the direction of the wiring. But I'm not a machine that specializes in detecting emotions, so how can I know what he was thinking at the time?"

Nishihara Tadahiko knew that his question was a bit unreasonable, but he still cared about it.

Although this time the bomb was successfully resolved without any danger because Hoshikawa and Ming used the information gap to induce Nagata Ryo to choose this hotel and knew the explosion time he set in advance.

But in the final analysis, Nagata Ryo wanted to carry out a criminal activity today, even using his bomb-making skills that he hadn't used in three years. This urgency and desperation are beyond doubt.

Unlike Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Satoshi, who are minors, Nishihara Tadahiko is not only an independent identity but also a policeman. It is not as simple as simply taking advantage of the criminals and avoiding harm to them.

Therefore, the first thing he did after waking up was to think about why Ryo Nagata, who usually only instructed others to do something behind the scenes, would go against his usual practice and do it himself, and in such a violent way that would attract other people's attention. This was not in line with his usual behavior pattern.

However, Matsuda Jinpei's unintentional words gave Nishihara Tadahiko another idea. What if the explosion actually had another purpose, or was just one of a series of criminal acts?

The idea of ​​using an explosion to kill Hoshikawa and Akira was just a convenience for Ryo Nagata. His real purpose could not have been to blow someone up. Otherwise, he would not have easily changed the original explosion site just by getting the false clues provided by Satoshi Kagano, and instead placed the bomb in a hotel that had not been prepared at all.

So, is the real purpose of this explosion just to cover up for others? Or to divert attention?

Tadahiko Nishihara glanced at the crowd that was still in a state of panic after being evacuated. The police who arrived later were already there maintaining order.

He was moved and looked at Matsuda Jinpei and asked in a serious tone:

"I remember that normally, the mobile team wouldn't respond as quickly as they did today, right? And not only the mobile team, but also the search team arrived much faster than usual. Or did you get some information long before we reported the case?"

Nishihara Tadahiko's expression became more serious:

"Is it one of those major cases that draws on most of the Metropolitan Police Department's police force?"

Matsuda Jinpei's reaction was not slow. When he saw Nishihara Tadahiko's attitude, he immediately understood what was going on and asked back with a frown:

"Are you suspecting that someone is deliberately using the impending bombing to constrain the Metropolitan Police Department's police force? Is the criminal's ultimate goal actually something else?"

Nishihara Tadahiko narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said thoughtfully:

"I actually suspect that there are more bombs than the one just removed, and more cases than the one you received. It's like a Russian nesting doll, with one layer behind another, and the ultimate goal of the criminal is to take advantage of the police's busy schedule to sneak in, and when the police want to go back to rescue them, it will be too late."
