Chapter 139
Because of the aura of Edogawa Conan, the god of death, and the full protection of the reliable Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the public security of Beika Town is always in a state of worry and stability. However, on this ordinary weekend afternoon, Beika Town was seriously troubled by the hidden danger of a bomb explosion at any time.
Even though Hoshikawa and Ming had discovered the incident in advance and the Metropolitan Police Department's mobile team had responded promptly, most people left the building as soon as they saw the live broadcast and gathered in open areas to wait quietly, as quickly as if they were conducting an earthquake drill.
Fortunately, the Metropolitan Police Department did not let down the time that Xingchuan and Ming bought for them in advance. They successfully found and dismantled the bombs before each time bomb exploded, and then rushed to the next bomb site to continue the previous work. So when they finally found the only unactivated bomb from the last location, they also captured the culprit who caused the whole accident, Nagata Ryo.
What the police didn't expect was that when they arrived, Nagata Ryo had already been dead for a long time, and the cause of death was cardiac arrest due to unknown reasons.
If this cause of death were placed in an ordinary criminal case, it might not cause much alarm for the police. After all, in Tokyo alone, there are enough people dying from various causes every day, and cardiac arrest is not really a special case that requires special vigilance.
But this time was different.
When all known clues pointed to Ryo Nagata, a suspect with mysterious whereabouts and direct connection to multiple cases, the Metropolitan Police Department combined the analysis and evidence of Date Kou and Nishihara Tadahiko and directly issued an emergency arrest warrant for Ryo Nagata. However, the bomb disposal unit found Ryo Nagata's body next to the unactivated bomb. This abnormally smooth situation made the Metropolitan Police Department pay great attention to it.
However, as expected, this bombing case that shocked half of Tokyo but ended safely under the timely control of the Metropolitan Police Department was finally intercepted by the Ministry of Public Security, which suddenly appeared and snatched it away, and without saying a word, marked it as confidential. The Metropolitan Police Department detectives habitually threw the cup in anger, and finally had to give up. So no one knows the follow-up of the case.
Fortunately, the disaster-stricken Beika Town may have really become accustomed to the life of being attacked every two days and every three days. Although it was still shrouded in the shadow of bombs in the afternoon, it had completely returned to normal by the next day, as if the previous bomb threat could not cause any impact on their lives.
Xingchuan and Minglei were unmoved by the police's pick-up and drop-off, and they were also not affected by it. In fact, because Nishihara Tadahiko, who was in charge of today's pick-up and drop-off mission, was fully activated, Xingchuan and Ming rarely felt repulsive about being picked up and dropped off like children, and even treated each other to a simple breakfast in their rental house.
"Come to think of it, Officer Nishihara, has anything else happened on your side since I came back three years ago? Have you seen hooded vests since then? How did you explain it to the police?" When Tadahiko Nishihara was having breakfast, Hoshikawa Kazuaki would express his long-lost curiosity, but it was limited to his own vests.
"It's still the same. I only crossed paths with Junye once when I was cooperating with the police. After that, he kept avoiding me and I couldn't find him no matter how hard I tried."
Perhaps it was because he didn’t need to hide anything in front of his other self in the world, Nishihara Tadahiko was stunned for a moment, which was unusual for him, before he continued:
"As for the public security, because I insisted on investigating the inside story of the laboratory of the organization back then, and I am also a brother of Baifu, one of the former experimental subjects and current member of the organization, I was specially approved by the public security to secretly assist the public security undercover investigators in conducting investigations related to the laboratory."
Xingchuan and Ming looked at him unexpectedly, their blue eyes full of surprise:
"Assist the undercover investigator in the investigation? Which investigator are you assisting? Is it Morobushi Kagemitsu?"
Nishihara Tadahiko nodded happily:
"It's obvious. After all, he was a direct witness to the whole process of my reunion with Toshiya, and he even showed up in front of me. Although he was exposed not long after due to the leak of the Metropolitan Police Department's undercover, as long as he wanted to continue to follow this line of the organization's laboratory, he would definitely have an intersection with me.
And for him at that time, whether it was because of my relationship with Junye that he needed to be on guard and monitor me, or because he needed my help with the laboratory, agreeing to cooperate with me was his best choice. "
Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at Nishihara Tadahiko in silence. He didn't feel that way when he was Nishihara Tadahiko, but now that he has returned to his identity, he looks back at the process of Nishihara Tadahiko's communication with the police. He exudes a kind of certainty and arrogance from the inside out, as if "cooperating with me is a good thing for you, the police."
It was as if they had already determined that the Public Security Bureau would agree to his invitation for cooperation because of the common interests of both parties and because Nishihara Tadahiko could exert a certain influence on Baifu to some extent.
But what makes Xingchuan and Ming speechless is that their police vest can be said to be the one with the highest sense of morality and the best temper among the four vests. However, even so, he is still affected by the vest's own personality. When it comes to things related to his younger brother Nishihara Shunya, he suddenly becomes extremely sensitive and strong.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki knew this very well, so when Nishihara Tadahiko said that he had already started to openly continue to be a detective in the Special Crime Investigation Department, but secretly he and Morobushi Kagemitsu were secretly investigating the laboratories of many organizations, and finally led his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department to directly reap the fruits, he was really not surprised at all! .
"But speaking of the laboratory, Xingchuan, you have already discovered that there are some differences between you and ordinary people."
Nishihara Tadahiko suddenly changed the subject and started talking about Hoshikawa and Ming.
Because he knew that the person in front of him was another person, and he would not overreact to anything involving the experimental subject. Nishihara Tadahiko quietly watched Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who seemed a little dazed by the sudden topic, and waited for him to continue the topic on his own.
Xingchuan Heming's eyes quickly regained focus, he nodded calmly, and asked:
"What's wrong? Have you found out anything about my abnormalities?"
Nishihara Tadahiko smiled, seemingly not surprised by Hoshikawa Kazuaki's reaction, and replied:
"There are indeed some unexpected discoveries, but they are probably different from what you guessed before. It's really hard to explain in a short time. How about this, if you don't have anything else to do today, I will help you make an appointment with Matsui Naoto, and we will explain it to you together."
Naoto Matsui? My manga fan who works as a hotel waiter?
Xingchuan and Ming looked at him in surprise, not understanding what this matter had to do with that person. But then he remembered that Matsui Naoto also had a pair of strange glowing eyes, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.
He nodded and said:
"Okay. I'll wait for your news then."
