Chapter 57 The First Player

The noise they just made was neither big nor small, but at a time when most people were rushing outside, trying to stay away from the "bombs" of the Ferris wheel, few people had the leisure to focus on others. At most, they would glance at them once or twice before quickly looking away.

Of course, there was no guarantee that the police or other people would notice something was wrong and rush over in a while...but Saikai Haruto was not afraid.

"W-what?"

The man captured by Xi Hai Qing Dou had short black hair and a pair of wide black glasses on his nose. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but also a little sullen and fierce.

After hearing his voice, he seemed to have no reaction. He tried to pull the muscles on his face and laughed dryly twice, pretending to be confused and flustered: "Let go! Hey, did you find the wrong person? What are you going to do? Hey, be careful or I will call the police!"

"How could it be wrong? I'm looking for you, the unknown customer. But do you really dare to call the police?"

Xi Hai Qing Dou laughed softly, slightly changed his movements to pull him up from the ground, changed to a relatively normal posture that would not attract much attention to hold him down, and then deftly took the "mobile phone" in his hand into his own hand.

"I guess this is the remote control of the bomb on the Ferris wheel?" Saikai Haruto said with a smile, "But it didn't explode at twelve o'clock... Are you surprised?"

"Of course, the reason it didn't explode wasn't because the policeman on the Ferris wheel dismantled the bomb, but because it was a surprise I prepared for you - a reward for your random modification of my work and for setting off a bomb in a place like your Ferris wheel... Do you like it, customer?"

The black-haired man's expression changed instantly, probably because he knew that the white-haired man in front of him had confirmed his identity, so his expression changed from panic and timidity to a distorted one: "What are you talking about... What did you do? What did you do to my bomb?!"

This man with long white hair... was the one who got into cabin 72 before the policeman! He saw it when the policeman pulled him out of cabin 72!

He struggled to break free from the restraints, but for some reason, the man in front of him looked like a weak and sickly guy, but he was extremely strong... No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from his hands.

"It didn't do anything, it just simply changed it from a bomb that would explode to a 'dumb bomb' that would not explode no matter what."

Xi Haiqing Dou laughed softly and said lightly: "You can only blame your bad luck. You just happened to meet me today. Isn't it a coincidence? The bomb you installed on the Ferris wheel happened to be my work... As a creator, isn't it easy to leave a backdoor in your own work?"

——When he was on the Ferris wheel before, although he looked like he was doing something "bad", he was actually "defusing a bomb".

Relying on the fact that the bomb was made by himself and he was much more familiar with it than others, and his habit of leaving a "back door" for himself when making any dangerous products as "Cointreau" in case one day he was unlucky enough to be sent to the west by the things he made, Xihai Qingdou gave the bomb a slight "modification".

Knowing in advance that the display on the bomb would display a message at a fixed time before the bomb exploded, Saikai Haruto also took care to retain the normal display capability while "modifying" the bomb.

Although it looks no different from the original, and the countdown is still working diligently, in reality... even if the countdown really ends and reaches zero, the bomb will not really explode - in other words, the bomb is no different from a "dumb bomb" at that time.

——It's not that Matsuda Jinpei can't do it, but with more time, a better understanding of the bomb, and the skills to back it up, Saikai Haruto can naturally do more than Matsuda Jinpei.

"I don't even know you, do I?! What are you going to do to me?...Since you made the bomb, shouldn't you have let it explode successfully? You shouldn't dislike those policemen either, right?!"

When the black-haired man heard Sai Hai Haruto say that he was the "maker" of the bomb, he was panicked for two seconds, then his eyes lit up and he hurriedly tried to persuade Sai Hai Haruto to get up.

"Ah, I didn't intend to do anything. After all, the look of disbelief on your face when you saw your plan fail was so funny that it offset your actions. But who told you to place a bomb on the Ferris wheel and create two more explosions outside?"

Xi Haiqingdou seemed to hold his shoulders in a friendly manner, but in fact, he was strangling his neck with his hands, and his expression became colder and colder: "Really, don't you know that doing this will scare the children? You really know how to ruin people's good mood. Although I'm not sure who you are... But compared to those policemen, you who ruined my plan are more annoying."

Ah, the more I think about it, the more upset I get... In the original work, both Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara died at the hands of such an idiot...

Xi Haiqingdou thought seriously and earnestly: If he kills this guy right here, it should be considered as "eliminating harm for the people", right?

A hand silently took out a pistol from his body. Xi Haiqingdou used his coat and his body to block the gun against his spine. His golden eyes showed a cold murderous look.

As long as the trigger is pulled, even if this guy doesn't die, his spine will definitely be destroyed, and he will never be able to stand up again...

In some ways, it might be more painful than death.

"Help, help... Don't kill me! Um, um, I apologize to you, it's my fault for setting off bombs randomly... Help! Police, help me!!"

Feeling the presence of the gun and someone strangling his throat, the black-haired man finally became truly frightened. His face became extremely distorted and distorted due to extreme fear, and he even began to struggle desperately to ask the police for help.

Seeing several policemen in the distance seemed to have discovered something and started running towards them, Xi Haiqingdou quickly put the gun back in his hand, stuffed the bomb remote control back into the man's hand, and began to relax the hand that was strangling the man's throat.

Probably he didn't expect Xi Hai Qing Dou to suddenly let go, the black-haired man finally broke free from Xi Hai Qing Dou's restraints and struggled to throw him off.

Xi Hai Qing Dou "stumbled" to the ground due to his force, and at the same time stretched out his hand again, pulling him to the ground together -

When Hagiwara Kenji finally arrived, he saw two people falling to the ground together. The black-haired middle-aged man was trying to shake off the young man beside him with a look of fear on his face, while Saikai Haruto was coughing with a pale face, while trying to pull the other person to prevent him from running away.

"Ahem, ahem... Officer Hagiwara, you're here just in time. Don't let him get away."

Before Hagiwara Kenji arrived, Nishimi Haruto's eyes lit up, and then he coughed twice softly, then he let go of the black-haired man's hand and looked at him with surprise: "This man is... ahem... he is the one who caused the explosion... ahem...! You should chase him!"

He spoke in halting sentences, and it took him a long time to finish, looking as if he was so weak that he was about to die.

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned at first, then he subconsciously frowned and hurriedly caught up with the black-haired man who got up and tried to run away again. He first subdued the man, then his eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, obviously unable to understand what was going on in front of him: "Yuyuan-kun? How are you? What happened?"

"Officer, officer, help me, it's him, he's the one who's trying to kill me!"

After being caught by Hagiwara Kenji, the black-haired man saw that he had no way to escape. He obviously forgot his hatred and fear of the police and hurriedly asked for help: "Hurry up and catch him too!"

Hagiwara Kenji's doubtful and suspicious eyes shifted to Saikai Haruto again.

He arrived late and was far away, so he obviously did not see the scene where Xi Haiqing Dou was chasing the bomber. Naturally, he was confused about what was happening in front of him.

It's no accident that Kenji Hagiwara appears here.

In the bombing case four years ago, if Asahina Kazuma hadn't found an excuse to call him out in advance, he would have appeared in the residential building that day and died in the bomb explosion along with other police officers. Hagiwara Kenji has always been upset about this, and therefore has been trying to investigate the case.

If Matsuda Jinpei had not been "lucky" enough to be seconded by his superior, he would have been the one who was transferred to the Investigation Division 1 to conduct the investigation. However, even if he had not been transferred, Hagiwara Kenji also analyzed and investigated a lot of information related to this case with Matsuda Jinpei during this period.

When Jinpei Matsuda received the fax and was on his way to the Ferris wheel with his colleagues from the First Investigation Division, Kenji Hagiwara also received a message from Matsuda and proudly announced to him that this time, it would be Jinpei Matsuda who would be the first to capture the bomber, and Hagiwara was already too late...

Kenji Hagiwara, who was "a step late", was almost amused by his text message. He turned around and rushed over here without hesitation.

However, he found out much too late. When he finally arrived and received Matsuda Jinpei's "last call and text message", it was exactly twelve o'clock...

Fortunately, for some unknown reason the bomb on the Ferris wheel turned into a "dumb bomb" and did not explode, so he and Jinpei Matsuda were not separated forever.

Originally, he was planning to rush to the location of the other bomb with Officer Sato and Officer Megure, but from a distance, Kenji Hagiwara happened to see the back of Haruto Nishiumi... and the strange position of him and the black-haired man next to him.

After vaguely sensing that something was wrong, Kenji Hagiwara hesitated for a moment, but still followed his intuition and rushed over.

——Then he saw the scene before him.

"He is slandering me!"

Xi Haiqing struggled to the ground. He stood up with difficulty, patted the dust on his body, and then raised his hands innocently, and coughed with a pale face: "Officer Hagiwara, you know me... I am not in good health, how could I really do anything to him?"

"The guy in your hand is the one who caused the Ferris wheel explosion... The thing in his hand is the remote control of the bomb. I just passed by and happened to notice that something was wrong with him. I found out his identity and chased him and fought with him. I think my behavior should be considered as 'heroic act', not 'murder', right?"

The young man with white hair and golden eyes had a pale face, and one button of his black coat was undone. He looked even thinner, as if a few more gusts of wind would blow him down... Compared with the black-haired man in Hagiwara Kenji's hands, he looked particularly fragile and pitiful.

As he spoke, the young man's face showed an expression of righteousness, selflessness, and innocence...which formed a sharp contrast with his shaky physical condition. Anyone who saw him like this would have doubted the truthfulness of his words.

The black-haired man was stunned and suddenly fell into chaos.

"No, that's not right. It was you who wanted to attack me... You wanted to kill me... He, he had a gun...?"

As he spoke, even his own tone became uncertain.

No, this sickly man who looked like he was about to faint was really the one who had almost killed him? Was there something wrong with his memory, or was this guy just showing off? He just...didn't do anything, so why did he look like he was seriously injured?

He was just frightened by this pretty boy and thought he was almost going to die? ?

"Save your excuses until you come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with me later."

Kenji Hagiwara's eyes narrowed and he took all the things from the black-haired man. After seeing clearly what was on him, he instantly understood his identity. He pressed his hands down on the black-haired man and almost turned against him immediately.

He looked at Xi Haiqing Dou's doubts and saw them disappear, replaced by worries about his health: "Yu Yuan, how are you? Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital later?"

"I think he was too nervous just now and mistook the kaleidoscope in my pocket for a gun barrel? I am an ordinary citizen, how could I have a gun on me?"

Saikai Haruto took out a kaleidoscope from his pocket - he had just bought it while shopping at the mall - and then slowly smiled gently and comfortingly: "Officer Hagiwara, don't worry about me. I'm not seriously injured either. It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious. As long as we can catch the criminal, all this will be worth it."

Saikai Haruto never does anything without preparation, and will never act impulsively and expose his identity.

Car rollover or something like that... doesn't exist.

Kaleidoscope...? Could it be that he was just too nervous and felt it wrong?

The black-haired man's face instantly turned pale.

The admiration in Kenji Hagiwara's eyes deepened.

The smile on Xihai Haruto's lips deepened, and he looked stronger and more innocent.
