Chapter 41
The guests and hosts had a great time at the full moon banquet, especially Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who did not expect to have an unexpected gain besides a big meal.
The humming sound of the dishwasher was in perfect rhythm with the sound of the fax machine.
The protagonist of the full moon banquet, little girl Sugawara Megumi, has fallen asleep, leaving only the adults scratching their heads.
The house was filled with the aroma of food, and the adults had already moved to the study.
After all, for young police officers with faith, planning crimes in places where they are not aware of them is a provocation to them.
In particular, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, who are currently affiliated with the mobile team's explosive ordnance disposal team, both had solemn expressions.
"Fortunately, Jiashi found a clue, otherwise the bomb might have been used by the criminal to do something bad by the time the police got the clue." Zhu Fu Jingguang poured a glass of mulled wine for the two classmates.
"The information is all here." Matsuda Jinpei stood next to the fax machine and printed out all the fire investigation reports with suspicious causes, a total of nine copies.
"How many of these are experiments conducted by the bomber?" Kenji Hagiwara muttered as he looked at the investigation reports on the whiteboard.
After all the reports were put together, everyone started to communicate.
Shen Er glanced over the information and said, "The good news is that in all the cases involving gunpowder, no ball bearings, shrapnel, or metal nails were found at the scene. It seems that the bomber was not attempting a terrorist attack that would cause mass casualties."
Furuya Rei stroked his chin and said, "Even if it's not a terrorist attack, the criminal is definitely plotting something big."
After first learning that there was a potential bomber who was constantly testing, and then profiling and reasoning, my thinking became much clearer.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at the whiteboard and suddenly said, "The reason no one noticed this guy might be because he was experimenting with something different every time."
He walked over and pulled out a few of the cases, rearranging them according to the residue inspection report: "Mercury, wire, and plastic. The bomber was trying to make different triggers."
Like many criminals, bomb offenders also have their own symbols, such as what materials they like to use, the circuit connection mode, and what trigger to use to detonate the bomb. In film and television works and in reality, criminals usually choose two out of three types of triggers.
This bomber actually went against the grain and arranged all three. Even Kenji Hagiwara, who joined the explosive ordnance disposal team, took a deep breath, amazed at the criminal's cruelty.
Sugawara Yoshiyo rubbed his chin. "This level of madness is definitely not meant to embarrass civilians. I have the feeling they clearly want to confront the professionals head-on."
Professional Kenji Hagiwara took a deep breath and said, "Professionals are now mentally prepared."
"The formula of the bomb is not difficult to find. After all, this is an era where all knowledge can be found on the Internet. However, based on the current situation, I suspect that the bomb maker is not well off financially. Maybe this is the motive for the crime." Zhu Fujingguang said.
This is the truth. Japan's chemical industry is very developed. If the criminals are well-off, like those who are supported by some evil cult, they definitely have the money to buy all kinds of chemical raw materials from the companies. If they have enough money, they can make any bomb.
The image of the criminal has gradually emerged in everyone's discussion. He is looking for ways to make bombs online for money, and he is confident that he is ready for a head-on confrontation with the Japanese police.
News about various criminals installing bombs in residential areas and threatening police officers for ransom appeared in everyone's mind, and then everyone became more vigilant.
"The prisoner's job allows him to come into contact with gunpowder without being discovered. We can remind the guys to conduct more rigorous inspections in this regard recently." Yi Dahang said.
Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the whiteboard: "Remote control triggers usually require a mobile phone or a shortwave remote control. Since the criminal is conducting an experiment, he will definitely not be too far away and will not be stupid enough to affect himself.
If the inmate used a cell phone, perhaps checking whether there was any overlap in the signals sent and received by various towers during the time of the fire could help. If it was a remote control, it would be even simpler; checking surveillance cameras near the building at the time of the fire might yield some results.
Jinpei Matsuda nodded. There was no better way than this at the moment when there were no substantial clues.
"Isn't it a pity to leave like this?" Matsuda Jinpei asked with a candy in his mouth, craving for a cigarette. The Sugawara couple's abilities are stronger than many of the "old people" in their team.
"If you don't have this ambition, don't force it." Sugawara Yoshiyo smiled, "But if the police and the public cooperate like today, it's still possible."
"I still need the nomination for the Good Citizen Award and the informant bonus. You all know my card number. Brothers, please understand that Ah Hui's milk powder money is very expensive." Shen Er said.
After seeing off the friends, the Sugawara family did not quiet down. A crescent moon hung outside and the little Sugawara Kei on the bed looked very energetic. She nibbled her fingers sweetly while looking at the ugly baby beside her.
Shen Er sighed: "Why is this kid so energetic?"
"Isn't it because of the curse you released?" Sugawara Yoshiyo pushed the ugly curse away and lay down next to her son.
Seeing that there was no room left on the hammock, Shen'er shrugged his shoulders, squeezed the aggrieved ugly baby into a ball, opened his mouth and swallowed him directly.
Little Sugawara Megumi, who was chewing his fingers, was completely stunned, and even when Shinji came to kiss him on the cheek, he still looked confused.
After being kissed a few times, the milky-smelling little Sugawara Megumi reached out her little hand and patted her father's face with a "pat". She even kissed his little finger with a bright smile on her face: "This kid is a little heavier than yesterday."
"Soon he'll be able to roll over and crawl around, and then talk and call daddy." Shen'er said, "Ren next door said his child can already say double words."
Sugawara Yoshiyo thought about his neighbor, Hisahito, who might even win the All Japan Baby Crawling Competition: "His physique is very special, so Meow Gumi might be a little slower."
"Grow up quickly. When you grow up, Dad will take you to play with marbles." Shen Er said, and then after being criticized, he immediately changed his words: "When you grow up, Dad will take you to the amusement park."
"It's too early for Meowgumi to experience the facilities in the amusement park, but it's still possible for him to go to the Ocean Park when he grows up a little bit," said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
The baby, watched over by his parents, looked at the star map hanging on the bedside for a while and soon fell asleep with his fists clenched.
the next day.
When Sugawara Yoshiyo pushed open the door and walked into the Psychic Detective Agency, she saw the young man sorting books by the bookshelf: "Jin, you came very early today."
The boy smiled expectantly. "Although I took a leave of absence this morning, I still have some documents to sort out."
The Psychic Detective Agency did good business after its official opening. Although most of the customers came for Jin, the real psychic, it also allowed Sugawara Yoshiyo to better conceal his work as a Death God.
"Are all the documents ready?" asked Sugawara Yoshiyo. Jin had quietly done something big recently: he sponsored the girl he had seen on the train to go to school.
After her mother died, the girl named Taniyama Mai became an orphan. With no relatives to adopt her, all her family savings were used to pay for medical expenses and they lived in poverty. Living in a very remote, insecure and old apartment that was over 80 years old was a cause for concern.
By chance, Jin met Mai Taniyama again. After spending a few days together, he decided to sponsor Mai Taniyama to complete her studies.
"Everything is ready, account..." Jin's phone rang before he finished speaking: "It's the homeroom teacher, I need to take a call."
The boy's expression changed immediately: "Jia Shi, can you please drive me to Beido Town?"
Cupido Town.
The bell has rung many times but Taniyama Mai has not gotten up yet. The girl covered with the quilt is sweating profusely and is in a nightmare.
Mai Taniyama felt frightened and anxious as she looked at the raging fire in front of her. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard a loud noise and then the fire started from the second floor.
The fire spread so fast that her room was about to burn down. What should I do with the things my mother left behind in the house?
Mai Taniyama threw away her schoolbag and the bag in her hand. Anxiously, she looked around for water to wet her clothes and rush in. Then Mai Taniyama noticed a car parked on the side of the road. From the rolled-down window, she could see two middle-aged men staring at the raging fire with satisfied smiles on their faces.
This smile hurt Taniyama Mai. She rushed forward angrily but was only sprayed in the face with exhaust fumes.
"Wake up, Taniyama-san, wake up." When she heard someone calling her name and opened her eyes, Taniyama Mai found that she was not in the room but in the hospital.
"You had a high fever this morning and didn't go to school, so the teacher called me." Jin said, the worried expression on his face still not disappearing.
Mai Taniyama grabbed the quilt and recalled the contents of the dream. She suddenly grabbed Jin's arm and said, "Ahem, Jin, I dreamed that there was a fire where I live. Boom, it was so scary. The fire was so big that I couldn't go up. My mother's belongings are all up there."
"Those things haven't happened yet. Stop, Mai. You need to rest now." Jin said, "I promise those things won't happen. There won't be a fire."
Sugawara Yoshiyo handed the water cup to the girl who was gasping for breath, and after she calmed down, she said: "Mai-chan, can you tell me what happened in your dream?"
After listening to what Mai Taniyama said, Yoshiyo Sugawara looked at the license plate number written on the paper and fell into deep thought. It would be a real loss for Japan if she left the police station at the speed at which she solved the case.
A few days later.
Inside the residential building, two middle-aged men were looking at the two bombs they had prepared with smiles on their faces. They had planned to place one bomb in the residential area to cause panic and then extort money from the Japanese police. The other one was plan B.
"The Japanese police should be able to accept 1 billion. As long as we succeed this time, we can repeat the same trick next time." Prisoner A said.
Prisoner B looked at his work with a smug grin, "Those police officers never dreamed we'd connected the timing device and signal receiver behind the embedded sensor. Even if they could cut the external wires, as long as we have a cell phone, we can still blow those Japanese police to pieces. Hahahahaha!"
Just as the two were laughing wildly and daydreaming, the door was slammed open and the fully armed mobile team members subdued the two criminals in seconds.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara cut the wires of the bomb, removed the mercury switch, and placed the bomb in a metal box that shielded the signal.
The prisoners' eyes turned red after seeing this. Matsuda Jinpei held the box and looked at the two bombers: "It seems that your plan cannot be carried out. You can only relive it over and over again in prison.
The potential threat was resolved and everyone in the mobile team breathed a sigh of relief.
Hagiwara Kenji took off his helmet and looked at his friend who was smoking by the car: "Today is a good day, isn't it?"
"Let's go, go back and write a report and apply for the Good Citizen Award for Sugawara and others." Matsuda Jinpei said as he opened the car door.
In the ward, Jin was peeling an apple. After learning that she no longer had to work part-time to pay for tuition, Mai Taniyama was happy and suggested that she go to the detective agency to help after she recovered.
Sugawara family.
Seeing the news that the bomber was caught, Shen Er, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled and then felt his clothes being pulled. When he lowered his head, he found that the little girl Sugawara Megumi lying in his arms seemed to be dissatisfied that her father's attention was not on him, and her little hands were clutching the clothes on his chest.
The sound of a car parking was heard outside the door, and the bored expression on Shen'er's face disappeared, knowing that this meant that his wife's work had ended earlier than expected.
The weather was still very cold at the end of December. After taking off her coat, Sugawara Yoshiyo didn't dare to hug her son immediately for fear that he would get cold.
Shen Er, who didn't get this worry at all, held his son in one hand and Jia Shi in the other: "Welcome home, Jia Shi."
The warm sunshine shone on them, and they even let out comfortable sighs. Hugging his wife and children, he discovered that even silence was a blessing when he was with his lover.
