Chapter 56 The First Player

"This bomb is lucky to have met Officer Matsuda."

After hearing this, Sato Miwako's movements obviously paused.

Was it her illusion? Perhaps the time and the occasion were too delicate, but she always felt that this sentence sounded a little ambiguous... like it was not just a superficial meaning, but also had a deeper meaning. In short, it didn't sound like a "good word" and it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Sato's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he suddenly felt uneasy - would the bomb disposal this time really be as smooth as Matsuda said?

However, when she turned around and prepared to say something to the white-haired young man who was obviously familiar with Matsuda, she was shocked to see only a figure gradually moving away in the crowd, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, and in the blink of an eye, it could no longer be found.

He left.

After leaving those words, Saikai Haruto turned around and blended into the crowd, looking for the direction of the Miyano sisters - just kidding, it would be fine if he "happened" to run into the police and say a few words to them, but staying any longer was not "Cointreau's" style.

"Cointreau" is different from the sisters Miyano Shiho, who has a code name but is just a pure scientific researcher with no blood on her hands, and Miyano Akemi, who is just an ordinary outsider of the organization and has never done anything bad.

Cointreau has been directly or indirectly involved in countless bloodbaths, including many involving police officers.

So he dared to speak up and tell Miyano Shiho that she "can stay with the police", but "Cointreau" cannot - under the above premise, it is his courage to talk and laugh among the police, but if he really hangs out with a group of policemen, "Cointreau" will really become "stupid".

What's more, even in his deeper identity as "Cointreau", he doesn't have a good impression of most Japanese police officers.

The cell phone in his coat pocket rang again. Nishimi Haruto took it out and saw that it was, as expected, another call from Miyano Shiho.

"Hey, sister, what's going on?"

"Are you okay? Did the police find anything? Did you do anything?"

Miyano Shiho asked nervously.

Miyano Shiho could clearly see from a distance the tug-of-war between him and Jinpei Matsuda when they got off the Ferris wheel. Although she couldn't see clearly what they talked about or what the specific atmosphere was like because of the distance, Miyano Shiho thought from the perspective of "Sulli". As a member of the organization, it was normal for her to worry about whether he had done something that caused the police to suspect him - after all, Cointreau was not a normal person.

It would be terrible if he suddenly said or did something strange, which resulted in his identity being exposed.

Miyano Shiho had to admit that when she saw Cointreau surrounded by several policemen, she was so nervous that she was even afraid that he would get impatient and pull out a bomb and blow up the surroundings.

In recent days, she unexpectedly heard a lot of "gossip" about Cointreau many years ago in the organization. In her heart, Cointreau is such a madman who has no bottom line and does whatever he wants, and it is not surprising for him to do anything crazy.

"No, what are you thinking about?"

Nishimi Haruto was amused and soon found the two of them in the crowd. He turned around and walked over while continuing to talk to her: "I just happened to find an interesting acquaintance among those policemen, so we chatted for a while. Don't worry, most Japanese policemen are a bunch of brainless idiots. Nothing will happen."

He walked straight to stand in front of Miyano Shiho, hung up the call and put the phone back into his pocket. Then he bent down and rubbed the short brown hair of the pale little girl in front of him. He couldn't help laughing: "Oh, she looks a bit wolfish... Are you that scared?"

"You are still a code member. Is it really okay for you to be so scared of a small explosion like today? People like you are easy to be bullied in the organization, sister. At least, even if you are really scared in your heart, don't show it in front of others."

Miyano Shiho dodged his hand that was ruffling her hair and looked at him coldly: "I'm not afraid of this bombing."

The bombing was not something she had to be particularly afraid of—at least not as much as Cointreau; but when the bombing occurred near where she and Akemi Miyano were, and coincidentally seemed to be related to Cointreau, it was enough to scare Shiho Miyano.

Because Akemi Miyano will always be her biggest and most important weakness.

"Does this explosion really have nothing to do with you?" she couldn't help but ask again.

Yes, she still suspected that it was no coincidence that the three of them appeared here and came into close contact with the explosion... She was more inclined to believe that this was another conspiracy of Cointreau.

"Of course it doesn't matter. I didn't ask anyone to plant a bomb in the Ferris wheel. I don't have the ability to predict the future. I just happened to think that this Ferris wheel would be fun. Have I ever lied to you?"

Xi Haiqingdou refuted it with confidence.

...It seems that there is indeed no such thing.

Although Cointreau had a bad temper, liked to scare people, and liked to threaten her, he did not lie to her.

"I'm sorry, Lady Yuen, Shiho is just too scared." Miyano Akemi held her sister's hand tightly, her expression a little nervous, but she looked a little better than Miyano Shiho - in front of her younger sister, the elder sister always appears to be stronger.

Although she felt uneasy and her heart was sinking, Miyano Akemi still forced herself to smile slightly, and asked with a tiny hope: "Master Yuyuan, then... shall we continue to stroll?"

As soon as she finished speaking, they heard another loud noise not far away. Saikai Haruto and the Miyano sisters subconsciously looked over there.

It turned out that there was another explosion at the control panel of the Ferris wheel. The huge Ferris wheel shook for a moment, and then suddenly stopped and stopped rotating.

Cabin No. 72 was also suspended in mid-air, neither going up nor down, which made people feel nervous.

At this time, the time has just reached 11:55.

Miyano Akemi was startled by the sudden second explosion, and an uneasy look appeared in her eyes: "Lord Yuyuan, is there really nothing wrong here? Should we...should we leave here?"

Xi Haiqingdou sighed, and the smile on his face faded. His face turned a little ugly: "Really...what are the Japanese police doing? They couldn't even find out a simple secondary explosion?"

He ignored what Miyano Akemi said, but lowered his head and straightened his sleeves with a calm expression, as if he was talking to the Miyano sisters, or as if he was talking to himself.

"But this reminds me that the most annoying person is the guy who disrupted my planned outing today... But with the capabilities of the garbage police on the scene, I guess they won't be able to catch the guy... This is really annoying."

There was a hint of anger and annoyance in his golden eyes, as if he was really annoyed with the "customer" who had disrupted his original plan again and again.

Miyano Shiho looked up at him sharply, as if she had guessed what he was going to do, and frowned: "What are you going to do? Don't mess around here... There are a lot of police here."

"I'm not planning on doing anything. I'm just feeling a little unhappy and want to simply vent."

Nishimi Haruto narrowed his eyes and gave Miyano Akemi a shining smile: "Hey, Miyano-san, it's almost 12 o'clock now, and it's time for lunch. I have reserved a seat in a restaurant on the fourth floor of Building B on the other side of the mall. Can you take your sister over there now?"

“Okay, okay…”

Miyano Akemi responded in a daze, as if she hadn't come back to her senses yet: "What about you, Yuyuan-kun?"

"As for me, I will be there soon, don't worry. You guys go first, and remember, don't stay here any longer. Oh, by the way, just call me Yuyuan-kun like before, 'sir' or something... there's no need to call me that outside."

Said Saikai Haruto, turning around without hesitation and walking in another direction.

11:59.

Xihai Qingdou put his hands in the pockets of his coat, stood expressionlessly in a secluded place slightly higher than the Ferris wheel, and looked down. His eyes quickly scanned the area below inch by inch, as if he was searching for something.

The Ferris wheel had stopped running a few minutes ago and was now hanging quietly in the air; some police officers on the ground were still hurriedly dispersing the crowd, and a few were still standing there looking at the position of cabin No. 72.

Knowing that the explosion would happen again soon, the people on the ground became chaotic, and most of them hurriedly moved around quickly, trying to stay away from the Ferris wheel.

Twelve o'clock.

The Ferris wheel was still hanging in the air, quietly making no sound - and there was no explosion either.

Xi Haiqing Dou's eyes were fixed on a certain unique figure in the crowd - when everyone was lowering their heads and trying to escape quickly, he was the only one who raised his head in disbelief, staring blankly in the direction of the Ferris wheel in the sky.

After repeatedly raising his head, lowering his head, and raising his head again several times and finding that no explosion occurred, the man, with shaking hands, pressed the "cell phone" in his hand with force in disbelief - still no response.

"Ah, I found it. It's you - the customer who ruined my perfect travel plan."

Xi Hai Qing Dou raised his lips without any surprise, and with one hand on the stairs in front of him, he stepped over firmly and quickly, his eyes fixed on the figure, and his feet did not stop, approaching him in the fastest and most direct straight line without any pause or hesitation.

Along the way, he pushed aside and cleared away all the "roadblocks" without hesitation.

When he was about to get close to him, the figure seemed to sense the approaching danger and turned to look at him. Then his expression changed and he turned and ran away!

However, although he was fast, Xi Hai Qing Dou was even faster than him! In just a dozen seconds, Xi Hai Qing Dou quickly caught up with him, and then quickly attacked, capturing him under his body in just a few moves.

"Why are you running? Are you afraid of being discovered by the police? Are you the guy who planted the bomb?"

Xi Haiqing Dou asked with a smile, his voice was extremely cheerful, as if he was chatting intimately with a good friend: "But don't worry, I have good news for you - I am not in the same group with those stupid policemen."

"Of course, the bad news is... you've fallen into my hands."
