Chapter 188 There's more to it than meets the eye.
"Dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong."
2 times, 3 times, 4 times.
This was the secret code he and Morofushi Takaaki had agreed upon.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was a little nervous when he opened the door, as he was about to meet his brother whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Good night, Mr. Midorikawa.
A familiar voice came from the receiver, and a mature yet somewhat unfamiliar face appeared. Morofushi Kagemitsu consciously controlled the involuntary upward curve of his lips, gave a restrained nod to Morofushi Kagemitsu and the accompanying Officer Kobayashi, and stepped aside to make way for the passage into the room.
Good night, Officer Morofushi and Officer Kobayashi.
Morobuchi Kagemitsu led them to sit on the sofa by the bed and poured two cups of hot water for them.
After exchanging a few polite words, Zhu Fugaoming inquired about the current situation and found that the man posed no danger and was not pretentious in his speech.
So, he changed the subject and went straight to the case from seven years ago:
"Mr. Midorikawa, we've heard you have clues about a bombing case from seven years ago. Would you be so kind as to let us investigate?"
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: The location where the tools were hidden, along with purchase records, have been sent to your new email address.]
Okay, please also send me a copy of the on-site simulation diagram.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: It's possible, but this kind of thing is made to find evidence, not as physical evidence.]
It's okay. I never intended to use this model as evidence anyway; it has other uses.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: ...Could it be that you're planning to bring up Black Guest?]
Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded, picked up the laptop lying to the side, opened his new email account, and clicked on the email that had been added later, number 234.
He glanced at it quickly, made sure there was nothing wrong, then turned the computer screen around so that Morofushi Hiromitsu and Officer Kobayashi could also see it.
Morofushi Takaaki's expression remained calm, but Officer Kobayashi couldn't help but widen his pupils in shock. He subconsciously looked at his superior next to him, wanting to say something, but with "Midori Osamu" who had taken out the item still present, he had no choice but to swallow his words back with difficulty.
"According to our calculations, Imanishi Shoichi probably hid the tools for assembling the bomb in the staff's break room on the platform, intending to move them after the chaos subsided."
Morofushi Kagemitsu delivered his prepared analysis, and the simulation model on the screen played in sync with his explanation. "However, what he didn't expect was that the people in the platform workshop never left, and because the building was so sturdy, it was even used as a temporary first aid station."
Officer Kobayashi's attention was already drawn to his words, and his eyes were glued to the demonstration model on the screen; Morofushi Takaaki still looked serious and unchanged, but Morofushi Kagemitsu knew that he was making an assessment in his mind—not only of this piece of evidence, but also of the skills he had demonstrated so far.
"The next video is the only surveillance footage that survived from the scene, and it connects perfectly with the simulated scene we just saw. With the explanation from the previous footage, we can see that the assembly tools were probably collected as building debris or lost items."
Morofushi Kagemitsu clicked on the second video and continued, "The on-site investigation report clearly pointed out that Imanishi Shoichi's fingerprints were found on some of the tools at the scene. However, these tools were all relatively ordinary items, so even if they had his fingerprints, it wouldn't prove anything. But as long as it can be proven that the truly crucial part is part of these tools, the probative value of the evidence will be enhanced."
“…However, your simulation model cannot be used as evidence; it is merely a hypothetical possibility,” Officer Kobayashi couldn’t help but say.
Of course, Morofushi Kagemitsu had considered that the police would raise such a question. If they couldn't even raise this basic question, he should reflect on whether he should have had such a conversation with them in the first place.
He smiled and said, "Of course, this is just an auxiliary tool. The evidence I'm actually providing is this."
He sent the records of Imanishi Shoichi's long-term secret purchase of bomb raw materials from the underground black market directly to Inspector Kobayashi and Morofushi Takaaki's email addresses. Number 234 even attached a marked list of materials, several of which corresponded to the special components of the bombs detected at the platform back then.
Upon seeing this, Morofushi Takaaki, who had remained silent until now, spoke up. He stood up, bowed slightly to Morofushi Kagemitsu with great solemnity, and said, "This evidence will greatly help us in identifying the suspect. Thank you very much for your help."
Officer Kobayashi reacted quickly and, along with Morofushi Takaaki, expressed his gratitude.
Seeing that Gao Ming suddenly bowed, Zhu Fujingguang suppressed the urge to jump up from his chair and accepted the bow with a somewhat stiff smile.
"Click!"
Zhu Fujingguang: ? ? ?
What is that sound?!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: Uh, sorry, I'm not very familiar with the procedures, you noticed the screenshot...]
screenshot……!
[Anti-fraud expert #234: On the 26th, they strongly requested to preserve the video and screenshots of this segment, so...]
Morofushi Kagemitsu gasped, his gaze fixed on Morofushi Komei with an urging tone:
Brother, dear brother, please get up quickly!
He would rather set the recording of Zero calling him "boss" that they made on the 214th as his alarm than sit here any longer!
After mentally scrolling through countless terrified cat emojis, Morofushi Takaaki slowly stood up, his tone much gentler, and casually brought up the simulation system that Morofushi Kagemitsu had just shown them:
"Mr. Midorikawa just analyzed the model of the tool's scattered locations, which does not seem to be the kind of data analysis tool that is circulating on the market."
Zhu Fujingguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained, "That's right, this is a piece of software that I had someone make on my own. I was also quite lucky; I actually got selected after placing an order on their website."
"You got picked?" Officer Kobayashi's eyes widened as he raised a suspicion. "Could they be taking orders based on their mood? Which website is it?"
“Black Guest.” Morofushi Kagemitsu glanced at Morofushi Takaaki, who was sitting thoughtfully to the side, and said, “Inspector Morofushi, have you heard of him?”
Zhu Fugaoming nodded: "I have heard about it."
[Anti-Fraud Guru 234: High-ranking police officers should have heard of this; it involves those in gray areas.]
It's clear that you've managed Black Guest very well over the years.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: But... I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, your operation seems to have intentionally bypassed the police. Why? Did something happen that I don't know about?]
We'll talk about the police matter later.
The important thing now is the ongoing plan; we should hurry up and link Black Guest to the upcoming attack on Rum.
Judging by the time, the rescue team should have already gone up the mountain, right?
[Anti-fraud expert #234: Okay. The rescue team is almost halfway up the mountain; they'll reach the church in ten more minutes.]
That would be about the time to lure Kitada Yu over.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: Understood. Let Akiyama Nao tell him that the person who provided the clue is in the mountains.]
A good excuse.
Morofushi Kagemitsu handed Morofushi Takaaki a website address, naturally belonging to Black Guest. What kind of backend messages their website would receive next depended on the decisions made by the police.
Because No. 234 is a fragment of his own consciousness, his actions closely resemble Morofushi Kagemitsu's upcoming plans.
With things progressing this far, he planned to push Black Guest to the forefront as much as possible, even wanting to strengthen their covert cooperation with the police. He intended to use this hacker intelligence organization as another shield to protect the undercover agents' identities and draw the black organization's hatred.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: In terms of being hated, perhaps we can learn a thing or two from #148; his recklessness is no less than that of #198 and #11.]
Number 234 had no objection to this, and even offered some suggestions.
He had no objection to the plan itself, not to mention that the actions of the main body were in line with the core instructions of the "undercover anti-fraud APP". This made it even less necessary for the anti-fraud team, which operates around this underlying logic, to object. They would even write several task analysis reports overnight to devise strategies for the future.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: #205 is always the most enthusiastic one, even #26 seriously gave nicknames to the local police representatives, everyone is so enthusiastic ^ - ^]
It's been a long time since we've seen Morofushi Kagemitsu (number 234) use his usual emoticon: ...
Was it just his imagination? Why did the air around him seem to lighten up every time that guy number 26 was mentioned...?
He coughed lightly, straightened his posture, and intended to exchange a few more words with Gao Ming, the riddle teller, but unexpectedly, Zhu Fu Gao Ming took the initiative to suggest leaving.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: I calculated the distance. If you drive there now, you might stumble upon the scene of Rum's attack.]
Of course not!
Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately stood up and took a few quick steps, subtly blocking Morofushi Takaaki's way out.
This alerted Officer Kobayashi, who was very keen on the retreat route. The muttered worries Yamato Kansuke had had before leaving the police station—the fear of an explosion—resurfaced in his mind. If it weren't for Midorikawa Shuujin pulling out something real, he probably would have drawn his gun by now.
Morofushi Takaaki also noticed Morofushi Kagemitsu's unease and calmly asked, "Mr. Midorikawa, is there anything else you wish to say?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu paused for a moment, then said, "Inspector Morofushi, don't you want to know who is the person who has dragged this case out for seven years?"
Morofushi Takaaki suddenly stopped and looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu: "Mr. Midorikawa, have you shared this information with anyone else?"
Zhu Fujingguang naturally shook his head.
Zhu Fu Gaoming nodded and said, "I believe you. The chances of you leaking this information are..."
Zero.
