the other side.
Explosive ordnance disposal squad vehicles arrived at the scene.
Matsuda Jinpei stepped out of the car, raised his head, took off his sunglasses, and looked at the four-story building in front of him.
In fact, it was a little late for him to arrive at the scene at this time.
The reason is that the Metropolitan Police confirmed it first and found that the so-called bomb only had a shell filled with stuffing such as cotton cloth.
So they combined the conflicts between nearby villagers and the club in the past two days and determined it to be a threatening prank.
And since it was a prank, of course there was no need for the explosive ordnance disposal squad to be dispatched.
It wasn't until the actual bomb exploded, that is, at the same time that the deceased died, that the explosive ordnance disposal squad received a call requesting dispatch.
Matsuda Jinpei tightened the collar of his high-collared shirt under his windbreaker and strode in with the heavily armed police officers.
The bomb and the president's office were not in the same area. The deceased was on the top floor, and the bombs were mostly distributed on the first three floors.
The bomb disposal team took a walk and walked quickly towards the area they had planned when they came. Among them, Matsuda Jinpei, as the ace, naturally came to the vicinity of the bomb explosion to investigate the surrounding environment.
The bomb exploded on the same floor as the president's office.
Matsuda Jinpei put on protective clothing and walked into the toilet.
The power of the explosion was not that great. It basically burned two compartments to black. The toilet, water tank, etc. were hidden under the broken partitions of the compartments.
According to the detective from the First Investigation Section, there should be a bomb that has not exploded here.
Matsuda was bloated and walked into the toilet.
There are five cubicles in the toilet. The two that were blown up are located in the innermost ones, while the remaining bomb is the cubicle closest to the door.
Once inside, Matsuda saw what appeared to be a bomb.
It was a black box tightly wrapped with yellow tape on the side of the water tank. Its surface was ordinary and there was nothing unusual about it. If it hadn't been for the lessons learned nearby, no one would have connected it with a bomb.
Matsuda took out the scissors, held the bomb with one hand, and gently cut the tape next to the box with the other hand.
Then he steadily placed the bomb on top of the water tank, preparing to begin subsequent operations.
In fact, judging from the exploded scene nearby, there was a high probability that the bomb would not hurt Matsuda, who was wearing protective clothing, but he still did not relax and carefully made a small slit along the top of the box...
After a while, Matsuda concluded that it was not a real bomb.
He tore open the box and saw the iron blocks held in place by tape, and put down his nervousness.
"How about it?"
After coming out of the toilet, Matsuda contacted other bomb disposal personnel via radio.
"The bombs on the third floor were all fake."
"The same goes for the second floor."
The results for others were the same. The bombs scattered throughout the building, except for the one that had already detonated, all looked like bombs.
Just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, news came over the radio.
"A bomb was found on the first floor!"
A completely different reply came.
Hearing this sound, the bomb disposal personnel were shocked.
"How is it going?"
Matsuda Jinpei asked calmly.
"The bomb was installed poorly and is being dismantled, etc..."
The voice of the team member on the other side of the radio became subtle.
"The wires of the bomb are not connected properly. Even if it is not dismantled, it will not explode..."
"..."
This development was something that no one present had ever thought of.
Matsuda looked back at the bombed compartment and slowly took off his protective clothing.
"It looks like this was just a warning bomb incident."
Matsuda was mentally speculating.
After the bomb is disposed of, there is no need for members of the explosive ordnance disposal squad to stay at the scene.
When Matsuda was about to go home, he saw a man who looked like a junior high school student running from a distance.
The appearance of this person made Matsuda Jinpei frown.
He had heard about the murders that happened here. The question is, why did such a child appear at the scene of the murder? !
What are those detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department doing?
…
This is the president's office.
Kudo Shinichi, who was at a deadlock, chose to go to the explosion site. If the person who planted the bomb and the murderer were the same person, there might be some clues that had not been erased where the bomb was planted.
Thinking of this, he ran out of the office and followed the passage to the toilet.
As he approached, he noticed a man at the door of the toilet wearing a white shirt, soaked with sweat, the clothes sticking to his skin, and holding a radio.
radio……
Kudo Shinichi's eyes fell on Matsuda Jinpei's hand, and his detective instinct subconsciously activated.
Realizing that the child was observing him, Matsuda Jinpei tugged on his collar to cover the eavesdropping collar around his neck.
Then the moment Kudo Shinichi passed by him, he grabbed him and held him down.
"Primary school students should go home quickly and don't cause trouble at the eucalyptus scene."
With the power of Matsuda Jinpei, it was easy to catch a junior high school student, grab Kudou Shinichi and go downstairs, preparing to leave here.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not a primary school student. I'm wearing a uniform. I'm a junior high school student and a detective!"
Kudo, who was being dragged away, struggled and loudly explained his identity.
It's just that in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes, junior high school students and elementary school students are all children, and they are all objects of adult protection. Even if he is not a policeman, he cannot allow children to appear in such dangerous places.
"You kid, just go home and do your homework. If you don't obey, I will contact your teacher to give you more homework!"
He held down Kudo Shinichi's head, making his struggle futile.
Despite all his reluctance, Kudo still watched the explosion scene move away from him.
At this moment, the police officer who followed Kudo arrived at the scene. When he saw the scene, he quickly stepped forward to explain.
After the explanation is clear——
"ha?"
Matsuda Jinpei's face showed disbelief and suspicion.
"You mean he is an acting consultant to the Metropolitan Police? So young?"
After hearing what the police officer said, he wanted to scold you for letting underage children serve as consultants and shoulder the responsibilities of the police. You guys are so shameless!
In Matsuda's eyes, the purpose of the police's existence is to protect citizens. Now the Metropolitan Police Department has not only failed to step up the investigation, but has also implicated unrelated children in the case.
Such behavior is absolutely a serious dereliction of duty and an absolute desecration of police duties!
"Well, actually the consultant was Mr. Kudo Yusaku, but he has been busy with work recently, so..."
And so! ?
Matsuda did not react on the surface, but in his heart he was speechless towards the detective from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Let’s not talk about whether it is reasonable to rely on outsiders to solve the case. Let’s just look at the acting consultant of this junior high school student...
Can junior high school students be acting consultants?
Is it difficult for a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department to go and learn something that can be done by junior high school students?
Three years after the death of his best friend, with no progress in solving the case, the unreliable behavior of the Metropolitan Police Department was once again exposed to Matsuda Jinpei...

There is only one update today. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. My brother is on holiday and Douyin TV is broadcasting. I really can’t handle it.
Will make up for it during the day tomorrow.
Sorry sorry sorry!
