Chapter 58 Nine Shotas

The Metropolitan Police Department often has such exchanges with other local police departments. Everyone basically treats it as a public travel and actively signs up every time. However, this time when it was the turn of the Investigation Division, when the exchange location was revealed, everyone who originally wanted to sign up took a step back.

Fukuoka City...

People in their line of work are sometimes better informed than ordinary people and more sensitive to such things, so no one is willing to go to Fukuoka City to be a police officer for exchange training.

Although prostitution is legal in the country, the situation in Fukuoka - or Hakata - is so complicated that outsiders cannot intervene even if they go there. The best thing to do is to pretend not to see it.

The most important thing for those who want to continue working in the Hakata Police Station is the "eyesight" to know what can be investigated and what cannot be investigated. Those who are able to enter the Investigation Division are the elite among the elites. Letting them stay in the Hakata Police Station for even one more day would be considered torture.

After a group of people pushed for a long time, the two spots fell to Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda who were passing by.

"I don't mind... But if I remember correctly, we are in the virginity class, right? We are not even in the criminal department." Hagiwara Kenji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Going to Hakata for an exchange is definitely not my and Kojinpei's job."

"That's true, but the bomb disposal team doesn't work that often, so it's the safest choice." Megure Jusan sighed, turned his hat, and said apologetically, "The candidates they require are not that strict. This time, I'll just treat it as the search section exchanging orders with you in advance, okay? I'm really sorry, but I still have to trouble you, Hagiwara-kun and Matsuda-kun."

In short, they were the ones who were packed up and sent from Tokyo to Hakata. Since the journey was not far and the exchange time was a full month, the two of them simply chose to drive there by themselves and lived in the apartment arranged by the Hakata side.

Just as Inspector Megure said, it has been almost a month since Matsuda and the other two came to Hakata for exchanges, but they have hardly received any work. Presumably, Hakata had expected the Metropolitan Police Department to get people, and arranged them to a department that couldn't be any more idle.

In the open-air parking lot next to the hotel.

"Haaaa..." Matsuda Jinpei yawned while leaning against the car door, and took off the sunglasses casually pinned on his collar and put them on. "Just think of it as a one-month vacation. Tokyo is pretty relaxed these days anyway."

Hagiwara Kenji, who came down from the other side, put his arm around his shoulders, smiled helplessly, and agreed, "Indeed, there is no other way."

They didn't mind helping the Hakata police deal with the endless murders and bombings here, but unfortunately they were unwilling to let them, who represented the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, get involved. Not to mention that when the two arrived in Hakata, the mayor was replaced, and the police station and the city government were in chaos, so no one was willing to take care of them.

The two people's appearance here tonight actually has nothing to do with the actions of the Hakata police.

Not long ago, when Jinpei Matsuda was buying necessities in a department store, he happened to meet people from a terrorist organization. Although he dismantled the bomb installed by the other party, Jinpei Matsuda inadvertently heard them talking privately about a hotel - the one they were visiting now.

Jinpei Matsuda's many years of experience in handling various bombing cases told him that something was fishy. Sure enough, when he returned and checked with Kenji Hagiwara, they found a recent major event related to this hotel on the Internet.

The new mayor will attend a dinner hosted by the Mogami Foundation in the hotel's banquet hall.

It must be said that for the new mayor's political enemies, this was a great opportunity for assassination, right? When combined with the bomb, the two immediately became restless.

However, even though they reported the matter to the Hakata police, it was not surprising that no attention was paid to it. They also increased the number of surveillance personnel outside the two people's apartment, which had no practical meaning. In fact, it was just a hint to them not to act rashly, as someone would be watching them.

If Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei were really threatened by this suggestion, they would not be themselves anymore. Therefore, the two of them showed up here in the middle of the night.

"The banquet halls are on the 11th, 21st, and 31st floors. I looked at past records and found that dinners of this size are usually held in the banquet hall on the 21st floor." Matsuda Jinpei lowered his head and pressed his phone, and asked casually, "Separately or together?"

"First, split up and find where the dinner is." Hagiwara Kenji showed a look of toothache, "I say, Xiaozhenping, we are just here to confirm that there is really a bomb planted here just in case. If the situation is not critical, we still have to contact the people in Hakata to handle it."

Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes at Yukunran from behind his sunglasses and laughed, "You're talking as if you would really do that. Hey, Hagi, you were the one who brought the toolbox over first, right?"

The long-haired young man then revealed a sly smile and spread his hands, "There is no other way. We have to go through the motions and give Hakata some face. Otherwise, doubling the number of surveillance personnel is a small matter, but if the bombing is not taken seriously, it will be a big deal."

If the two of them were really law-abiding people, they wouldn't have become troublesome guys in the eyes of the police academy instructors along with the other three.

The two were talking as they walked inside, when suddenly, Hagiwara Kenji noticed a small red dot shaking on Yukunran's shoulder.

Considering Hakata's background, he instantly recognized what it was. His face suddenly changed and he grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's arm and hid behind the car.

Then, a bullet flew over slowly and embedded itself in the ground in front of the two people.

Hagiwara Kenji felt something was strange: if the opponent wanted to kill them, he should not aim at Xiao Zhenping's shoulder but at the back of his head. It couldn't be because the newbie had no experience in shooting -

The competition among killers in Hakata is so fierce. Could it be that the new sniper's professional ability is not up to standard and he can only snipe two foreign policemen from Tokyo... In a sense, is this also a form of discrimination against foreigners?

The young police officer couldn't help himself and told himself a cold joke in his heart to ease his tension.

"There, I saw it." Matsuda Jinpei's voice rang out, gnashing his teeth, his expression alert, "Is it coming for me?"

"Not necessarily." Hagiwara Kenji smiled bitterly, "I didn't think of this direction before... If the terrorist organization installed the bomb here with someone's instructions, then we are really involved in a terrible incident this time."

At first they thought it was just an ordinary terrorist attack, but if there was a bigger force behind it, then they had to think about why the police stopped them from reporting the bomb.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda had no chance to make enemies with anyone during their visit to Hakata, so the attackers were most likely sent to silence them by the forces behind the incident after they discovered that they had not given up on the investigation.

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding. After taking off his sunglasses, Jinpei Matsuda, whose vision was better, changed his angle to observe the situation on the attacker's side. Kenji Hagiwara used the most concise words to describe how they had accidentally been involved in this case during this period, the sniper incident tonight, and the abnormality of the Hakata police. He sent all of them to the mailbox of Manager Matsumoto, who had received the mailbox from them before leaving the Metropolitan Police Department.

If any accidents really happen in the future, these things can become bargaining chips for the Metropolitan Police Department to bring them back.

It seemed that they were the only two people in this open-air parking lot, and the people at the hotel seemed to have not noticed... or were pretending not to notice what was going on here.

If the attacker wanted to kill them, he would not have fired just that one shot.

The next second, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji decisively rushed out from different directions!

The attackers didn't make any further moves, probably waiting for them to make the first move, betting that the other side would only have one sniper to deal with them. This way, no matter which one of them they chose to snipe first, the other could take the opportunity to go around and go directly upstairs to wait for the right opportunity to strike.

…

Of course, if the alleged attackers were not Scottish.

In order to prevent his undercover friend from being misunderstood, Chi Jiang Na Yue finally did not continue his style of watching the show for fun. He chose to take advantage of the fact that the two people in the banquet hall were fighting and running away and had no time to pay attention to this place, and first tried to find a way to stop the two people below.

"That's the police, right?" A, who had just reminded Bourbon and Ley, poked his head out from Scotland's shoulder hesitantly, moved his finger downward, and pointed in the direction of the parking lot. His tone was very firm, "I saw them in the police car on the way here."

Scotland was startled and looked over subconsciously. Before he was surprised that the child could remember the two people's faces after just a quick glance, he almost choked to death.

Matsuda and Hagiwara, why are you here? !

Obviously, Scotland also knew that he must not let his two friends meet Bourbon and himself at this time and place, so he had to find a way to lure them away.

He took a deep breath.

Even though they didn't know what their friends were here for, they could just make them think someone was going to kill them, which should give Bourbon and Rye a chance to escape! Similarly, Scotland didn't really want to kill them, so they could just run away from the back door of the building while the two were not alert.

The car is also parked there, so we should be able to catch it.

However, to do so, he would have to leave the sniper rifle behind. Otherwise, neither Matsuda Jinpei nor Hagiwara Kenji would be easily fooled, and if he didn't let them vaguely see that the gun was still there, they would probably guess that he was planning to sneak away.

The more Scotland thought about it, the more headache he had. He glanced calmly at the little boy lying obediently on his shoulder.

Yes, there is another key point, which is not to let A find out that he and Bourbon care about the safety of Matsuda and others.
