Chapter 135
Both of them were shocked by this speculation and fell silent. Although this possibility sounded too exaggerated, it was indeed very likely to happen.
Matsuda Jinpei said in a dry tone:
"The bombing three years ago was a chain reaction. The bomber used only a few words to trick us police officers. If you hadn't run back and forth to save me, I would have been blown to ashes.
If the bomber this time is indeed the companion who hid behind the scenes and gave the idea three years ago, then given his style, he might really do something like using the time difference to tie down the police force."
Nishihara Tadahiko also frowned and said in a deep voice:
"But in this case, we can only speculate. We have no evidence and we cannot determine the real purpose of the other party. Whether it is the crime pattern of the bomber three years ago or the inference of the other party's emotions from the structure of the bomb, it is impossible to obtain the approval of the upper echelons of the Metropolitan Police Department."
Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei immediately said with disgust, "Those guys are just sitting there eating for free!"
Although he said this, Nishihara Tadahiko's gaze immediately turned to the other two vests beside him.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Satoshi had already seen that the two policemen had something to say, so they naturally did not go over to them, but continued their unfinished performance.
Kagino Satoshi had previously unilaterally severed ties with Hoshikawa and Akira, and Hoshikawa and Akira had put themselves in danger in order to reconcile with their childhood friend. At this moment, they are seizing the opportunity to stage a reconciliation scene.
Nishihara Tadahiko originally did not intend to interfere with the small theater between the two of them, but the situation was urgent and he had to interrupt.
Nishihara Tadahiko: Xiaozhi, when you checked the whereabouts of Ryo Nagata, did you notice where he stayed for a long time?
Kagino Satoshi: Long stay? I didn't notice that. Officer Nishihara, if you need me to, I can check it now?
Tadahiko Nishihara: I'll leave it to you then. I really need it urgently.
Then, Nishihara Tadahiko saw the two people who were originally acting awkwardly, one looking up at the sky with a sad expression, and the other looking down at his phone in silence. The heavy atmosphere lingering between them made even himself, an insider, feel deeply moved for them.
Nishihara Tadahiko: You two are really getting better and better at acting. If you keep going like this, as long as you receive formal training at the police academy, you can become excellent undercover agents right after graduation.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Officer Nishihara really knows how to joke. Why should we go undercover? Wouldn't it be nice to just follow the detectives and leisurely gain their favorability?
Tadahiko Nishihara: Oh, sorry, it’s just a professional habit.
Kagano Satoshi: Done. I sent you the locations where Ryo Nagata stayed for a long time. By the way, are you planning to arrest him directly? Will he run into the hooded vest? He just got the information about Ryo Nagata from Xiaoxing.
When Nishihara Tadahiko heard the hooded vest's name, he paused for a moment, then took out his cell phone as if nothing had happened, but did not answer.
Seeing this, Hoshikawa and Ming immediately gave Kagano Tomo a small channel and reminded him privately: Don't be so blunt, you know the entanglement between Officer Nishihara and the Hooded Vest, and what you said just now is just provoking his scars.
Kagino Satoshi was confused: "But we are obviously the same person, there is no need to be so distant, right? Do I still mind myself?"
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Since we are one person, we should be more considerate of each other's feelings...
While Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Tomoko were teaching on the channel, Nishihara Tadahiko had already begun discussing a solution with Matsuda Jinpei.
"If our speculation is correct, then judging from the bomber's criminal style three years ago, he will most likely use the method of setting off explosions at regular intervals this time to prolong the time difference of creating chaos, thereby buying time for his real purpose.
But there is one thing that the other party certainly didn't expect, that is, the bomb hidden in the hotel was accidentally discovered by Xingchuan in advance, and he contacted you to dismantle it in time."
Matsuda Jinpei also understood it immediately and immediately followed Nishihara Tadahiko's train of thought:
"Do you want to take advantage of the opponent's time difference and use the advantage of avoiding the explosion in advance to achieve a counter-balance?"
He frowned and continued his analysis.
"The reason why the other side created a time difference is because they don't have enough time. If we can eliminate the source of the chaos before it happens, we can indeed rush back in time when an accident occurs, making the other side's goal fail. But the most important thing is that without clues and hints, we have no idea where the bomber has installed the bomb."
Nishihara Tadahiko said:
"I just found an intelligence dealer I know and got information about the possible whereabouts of the other party. We can screen out the places where bombs may be installed, evacuate the crowd in advance, and deal with the bombs."
As he said this, he took out his cell phone and forwarded the whereabouts email directly to Jinpei Matsuda.
Matsuda Jinpei immediately realized that the other party had probably received far more information than what they had told him. At the very least, the other party was already very sure of the identity of the bomber, otherwise it would be impossible to accurately locate the bomber's whereabouts.
But now was a matter of urgency, and it was not the time to delve into these matters. Matsuda Jinpei only glanced at the contents of the email, and immediately called his bomb disposal team to rush to the next location where a bomb might be planted.
Nishihara Tadahiko looked at his back as he left in a hurry and sighed helplessly.
Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department knew that Jinpei Matsuda was good at defusing bombs, and his rebellious character was well known to everyone. So he was the only one who could do something like this, which required him to act alone without asking his superiors.
As the other party to the joint plan, Nishihara Tadahiko needs to solve all the problems for Matsuda Jinpei except bomb disposal to ensure that the Metropolitan Police Department can cooperate with Matsuda Jinpei's actions.
Fortunately, Matsuda Jinpei's boss was already accustomed to this, and according to the two's strategy, Matsuda Jinpei indeed found other bombs that had not exploded. The Metropolitan Police Department then urgently modified the plan to cooperate with the mobile unit's operation.
While Nishihara Tadahiko and other police officers were busy, Kagino Tomoya unexpectedly received a mission from the organization.
Kagino Satoshi was not good at acting with Hoshikawa and Akira, and he was planning to find a reason to "reconcile", but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly received a mission email from the organization. Kagino Satoshi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately seized the opportunity, his eyes darkened, and he left quickly, saying "Don't bother me anymore", carrying his luggage to find the next place to stay.
Xingchuan and Ming looked disappointed, but they asked with concern: What's wrong, Xiaozhi? Is there anything urgent?
Satoshi Kagamino: The organization has given me a mission. They want me to work with other technical members to steal data from a research institute. Really, it's just to obtain data, do I need others to cooperate? Who is this broken brewery looking down on?
After Xingchuan and Ming watched him leave with amusement, they wanted to go home. But after working for most of the day, they were really hungry, so they simply went to the Poirot Café to have a simple dinner.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Toru Amuro busy in the kitchen. Thinking of the delicious taste of his signature sandwiches, Hoshikawa and Ming immediately became even hungrier.
Azusa Enomoto greeted enthusiastically:
"Xingchuan, are you back from the party? How was it? Did you have a good time?"
Xingchuan Heming then remembered that he had told them before he left that he was going to the welfare house to attend a party. But thinking of the painful things that happened in the welfare house, his face froze, and he couldn't give a "very happy" evaluation against his will.
Amuro Toru immediately noticed the change in his mood and asked curiously:
"Why, did something happen at the party?"
Xingchuan and Ming curled their lips:
“Something happened.”
He briefly described the case in the orphanage, which made Azusa Enomoto burst into tears. She was indignant for him and said:
"This is too much! You have been frugal these years and finally donated the money you saved to the welfare home, but they still treat you like that! And those corrupt guys embezzled your donations and didn't care about the lives of those children at all. How can there be such abominable people!"
Even Toru Amuro secretly decided in his heart that he would have to say hello to Kazami later and ask him to pay more attention to this corruption case, and it would be best if those guys were locked up for life.
At this moment, his cell phone, which he used to contact the organization, suddenly vibrated. Amuro Toru's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly opened it while cutting a sandwich, but he was surprised to find that it was a message from End.
"Boss Bourbon, I suddenly received a mission from a guy codenamed Rum, asking me to follow several other technical members to steal data from a research institute.
I don't know who this Rum is. He's not famous, but he's very arrogant. Boss Bourbon, can't you come and give me the task yourself next time? Or can you send someone else to give me the task? Don't send Rum again. I really don't like him. "
Amuro Toru's expression suddenly cracked.
