Chapter 67
In response to this bomber's extortion case, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had to accept the bomber's threat and hand over the ransom, and then urgently set up a special task force. While they sent a mobile team to dismantle the bomb, they also drew elite police officers from several departments of the Metropolitan Police Department, eager to catch the arrogant bomber and bring him to justice.
So, when the team members received a call from the bomber, saying that he would teach them step by step how to defuse a bomb, they were so excited that their eyes almost glowed green.
The police quickly found the telephone booth where he was located based on the phone signal, and immediately sent personnel to the telephone booth to arrest the bomber.
The police responsible for the call-taking task has an even greater mission. They must hold back the bomber until the arresting police arrive at the scene.
The task force immediately became busy, and the person in charge, Inspector Fukuyama, was smiling widely, as if he could already see the glorious moment when such a big case would be perfectly solved in his hands.
However, not long after, the police officer who was in charge of connecting with the bomber hung up the phone with a confused look on his face, saying that the call with the bomber was suddenly forced to be interrupted.
Fushan police officer was shocked:
"Interrupted? Has the other party discovered our purpose? Has he escaped?"
"Escape? No, no, no, that's not the case. Over there..."
Judging from the sound coming from the other end of the phone, the situation over there was obviously very complicated, and the police officer who answered the call didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
"From the tone and speed of the voice, the bomber did sense something wrong during the call. But then, there seemed to be a commotion outside the phone booth opposite. The bomber dropped the phone and rushed out, and it sounded like he was captured."
"Captured?"
Police Inspector Fukuyama was also puzzled:
"We just sent out a team to arrest the bomber, and they should still be on the way. Who is the person who captured the criminal over there? Was he caught by a detective passing by? Check quickly to see if there is any relevant report!"
At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly called. Inspector Fukuyama recognized that this was one of the squad leaders in charge of bomb disposal in the mobile unit. He thought that the other party was just reporting on his work, but after he picked up the phone, his eyes gradually widened as the other party spoke, and finally repeated in disbelief:
"You mean, a witness spotted a stranger entering the Asai apartment and arrested him as a thief, only to find out that he was the bomber in this incident?"
On the street in the Asai business district, Jinpei Matsuda got into the police car he had driven over and placed Satoshi Kagamino's laptop on the storage panel on the center console.
The computer screen was displaying two surveillance video images side by side, simultaneously playing real-time footage of the telephone booth and the van.
Jinpei Matsuda's fingers unconsciously brushed over the passenger seat of the van in the video, where the bomb detonator was placed, which the bomber had casually thrown there in anger.
His expression was serious and no emotion could be seen, but the unconscious trembling of his fingers still revealed the fear and anger in his heart.
Matsuda Jinpei raised the phone to his ear with his other hand, and heard the incredulous voice of Inspector Fukuyama on the phone, and said calmly:
"That's right. The witness was a resident of Asai Apartment and also a member of the biker gang. He mistook the bomber for a thief who was scouting the area, so he gathered a group of biker gang members and wanted to capture the thief and hand him over to the police to claim credit.
But I didn’t expect to encounter this evacuation, which made me suspicious of the bomber’s identity. During the arrest process, I accidentally recognized the detonator in the bomber’s hand, so I came directly to me to report the case. ”
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Satoshi Kagano, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and received a smug look from the other party.
Matsuda Jinpei suddenly had an urge to educate his naughty child.
"So, the ones who caught the bomber before the police arrived were the bosozoku members?"
Inspector Fukuyama's voice was filled with dissatisfaction about his plan being interfered with by others, and he asked:
"The biker gang that reported the case is with you, right? How dare they interfere with the police investigation? If they accidentally startle the bomber and he gets away, can they take the responsibility?"
When Jinpei Matsuda heard that the other party, a dignified police inspector, was thinking of letting others take the responsibility at the first moment, he immediately showed a mocking expression on his face. However, he did not say it directly, but turned the topic back to the bomber and said bluntly:
"Inspector Fukuyama, you probably don't know that the bomber this time is not just one person as we initially thought, but two criminals, one open and one hidden.
If the informant had not witnessed the other party this time and set up a trap with the bikers in advance, catching the other party before he detonated the bomb, our Metropolitan Police Department would not only be accused of paying ransom to criminals, but would also have lost thirteen outstanding mobile team members when the bomb was detonated!"
When Matsuda Jinpei said the last sentence, he was obviously agitated, and even his tone was much stronger than usual. Kagano Satoshi could even hear a slight tremor in his rising voice.
Kagamino Tomo was able to understand his current thoughts, and even Kagamino Tomo himself had similar feelings at this moment.
Because among the thirteen mobile team members who were almost faced with the bomb explosion, there was their mutual friend, Kenji Hagiwara.
Although for the current Kenji Hagiwara, the relationship between him and Satoshi Kagamino is far from being that of friends, and he has even less connection with Hoshikawa Kazuaki who is far away in the orphanage, but this does not diminish Satoshi Kagamino's concern for him in the slightest.
However, the focus of Inspector Fukuyama on the other end of the phone was obviously different from that of Jinpei Matsuda and Satoshi Kagamino. After receiving the information provided by Jinpei Matsuda, he immediately asked in surprise:
"Have the bikers caught the bomber? Have they caught both of them? Are you sure that the one they caught is the real bomber?"
Hearing this, anger instantly ignited in Jinpei Matsuda's dark eyes, and the hand holding the phone clenched suddenly. Even Kagamino Satoshi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could hear the creaking sound of the phone from such a distance.
"Officer Fukuyama! Did you hear that?"
Matsuda Jinpei's voice clearly showed that he was suppressing his anger.
"Although the bomb countdown has temporarily stopped, the bomber still has the detonator in his hand!
Just now, the members of the mobile team knew nothing about this and were almost going to the scene to defuse the bomb!
If the informant had not arranged for someone to divert the bomber’s attention in advance, once the bomber had discovered the police and went to arrest them, the bomb in Asai Apartment might have already been…”
Matsuda Jinpei's voice suddenly stopped. He lowered his eyes to look at his hand which had been placed next to the computer screen. A hand belonging to a young man suddenly covered his wrist.
Jinpei Matsuda turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the co-pilot, only to see that Kagano Satoshi's light brown eyes were full of warmth, but at this moment they were full of worry about him.
Seeing Matsuda Jinpei looking at him, Kagino Satoshi pursed his lips and quickly thought of appropriate words of persuasion.
Although we don't know who the "Inspector Fukuyama" on the other end of the phone is, we can tell from the other party's focus and Matsuda Jinpei's attitude towards him that he is definitely not a boss who takes the case seriously and cares about his subordinates.
Given Jinpei Matsuda's current emotional state, it is obviously not suitable for him to deal with such people.
Forget it. It's impossible to persuade him. Let's think about how to divert Jinpei Matsuda's attention.
So Kagamino Satoshi rolled his eyes, and when Matsuda Jinpei looked over, he pointed to the surveillance screen on the screen.
In one video, a brutal one-sided fight was taking place next to the van, with the bomb detonator still in the back.
The driver's seat was empty.
Matsuda Jinpei's expression was slightly stunned.
All I heard was Kagino Tomo whispered to Matsuda Jinpei:
"That's enough. Don't waste too much time. Brother Yan'er is still waiting for our help!
Or do you think that arguing with a useless boss is more important than helping my second-year graduate student?"
The name of Kenji Hagiwara was indeed very useful at this time. Matsuda Jinpei's anger immediately dissipated, and his fierce face returned to calm in the blink of an eye.
Kagamino Satoshi narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, feeling proud of himself for being able to control the overall situation so easily. However, he did not expect that Matsuda Jinpei would suddenly reach out his hand at this moment and rub Kagamino Satoshi's head fiercely, ruffling his soft short hair into a mess.
"Brother Zhenping, what are you doing?"
Kagino Satoshi waved away Matsuda Jinpei's hand and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Matsuda Jinpei no longer looked at him, but held the steering wheel with one hand and stepped on the accelerator. The police car rushed out like an arrow from a bow.
Satoshi Kagino almost stumbled and fell on the computer screen. He hurriedly fastened his seat belt and then breathed a sigh of relief.
On the phone, Inspector Fukuyama's voice was still ringing:
"I already know what you're talking about. I'll tell the detectives who are rushing over there. You also need to keep the person who reported the case there. I'll have someone take a detailed statement from him."
"Well, let's talk about this after we come back." Matsuda Jinpei said vaguely.
"Come back? Where are you going... Wait, you're not taking the reporter with you, are you?"
"Well, maybe we are also going to participate in that real-life counter-terrorism game?"
