Yu Jiang's lock-picking ability is not as good as that of a real master. After all, his focus is never on such trivial details.
Tens of seconds passed in a flash, and with a slight "click", the door lock opened smoothly.
The sound insulation effect of low-cost apartments in Japan is very poor. The walls less than 15 centimeters thick can clearly transmit the sounds of neighbors opening and closing windows, coughing, playing piano, and passing on family members.
So as soon as the door opened, Yu Jiang immediately heard the loud snoring in the bedroom across the wall.
Gently closing the door, Yu Jiang tiptoed towards the bedroom.
He said he was tiptoeing, but in fact he was just walking lightly. If the target woke up at this time, he would see a guy who was as comfortable as if he was the master.
The bedroom door was closed, and through the crack in the door, one could see the target lying stretched out on the 1.5-meter bed, half covered with a thin quilt and half on the ground.
Yu Jiang helped him open the bedroom door wider to facilitate ventilation.
Then he walked to the open kitchen of the apartment. There was a plate of uneaten convenience store bento on the cabinet. The bento had already rotted and smelled in the summer heat wave, exuding a strange smell.
Yu Jiang focused his attention on the two-finger-thick pipe next to the stove.
——This is a gas pipeline.
Well, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of deflagration accidents in Japan every year. Adding one to this ordinary midnight seems to be nothing, right?
With a smile, Yujiang destroyed the gas alarm and gas pipes, and then left the target's apartment as quietly as he came.
But before leaving, he threw his half-smoked cigarette butt in the corner of the living room.
The moon is very bright tonight. Without the fireworks, it is the only eye-catching presence in the night sky.
Just like him, he was born to be dark.
In the silence of midnight, as the small light bicycle slowly drove away from the community, a terrifying explosion suddenly sounded from behind, and the soaring fire wave dyed half of the night sky red.
Many residents woke up from their sleep, shouting at the top of their lungs and begging for help, and many more had no idea what a terrible thing had happened.
Of course, there are also people who sleep forever at this night.
Oh, no, people who were blown up like that probably can’t even sleep peacefully, right?
…
The next day, Tokyo citizens who were woken up by their alarm clocks learned from various channels what happened last night.
All day long, Tokyo fell into an inexplicable panic and anxiety.
Mouri Kogoro, who is connected to the Metropolitan Police Department, is naturally no exception.
And today, Kudo Shinichi also came to the house to have a meal.
After reading the news report, Mouri Kogoro took a breath of air and said with lingering fear: "It's terrible. It seems that the gas pipeline must be inspected regularly."
"Xiaolan!" He said to Mao Lilan who was preparing dinner, "Hurry up and check our gas pipeline. If it doesn't work, we don't need gas!"
Mao Lilan was speechless: "How can it be possible without gas? How can you cook without gas?"
"The gas company will conduct regular inspections." Kudo Shinichi lay in the kitchen and took a look, "The last inspection was just a month ago. Uncle, don't you know?"
Mouri Kogoro was embarrassed.
Well, Xiaolan takes care of this kind of thing. As a father, he never cares about family affairs.
"Dad, didn't you have a phone call with the Memu Police Department today? He didn't tell you what happened?" Mao Lilan asked while putting dinner on the table.
"The Metropolitan Police Department is very busy today. He said he would contact me when he is free after get off work."
Mao Lilan nodded in understanding: "Yes, after all, the accident caused three deaths and sixteen injuries. It is considered a very serious safety accident."
Just as he was talking, Mouri Kogoro's phone rang, and he saw that it was indeed the Megure Police Department.
Mouri Kogoro suddenly became serious and quickly walked to the door to answer the phone.
How could Kudo Shinichi miss such a good opportunity to learn about the inside information of the Metropolitan Police Department? He put his ear against the door and eavesdropped on the phone calls between Kogoro Mori and the Megure Police Department.
"Shinichi!"
In the blink of an eye, Mao Lilan was standing behind Kudo Shinichi, staring at him fiercely.
Kudou Shinichi trembled all over and didn't turn around: "What, what's wrong?"
"It's just a matter of time. Are you really not prepared to do any work?!"
Kudo Shinichi was embarrassed: "I will help you serve the soup now!"
The eavesdropping plan failed!
But soon Mouri Kogoro put down the phone and came back.
Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran sat at the dining table, looking at Maori Kogoro at the same time, the meaning in their eyes was very obvious.
…
"The Metropolitan Police Department found the natural gas pipeline where the gas leak occurred, but unfortunately, the evidence at the scene was basically destroyed by the explosion and fire."
In the restaurant next to the kindergarten, the disguised Rei Furitani sat opposite Morofushi Kagemitsu, stating the details he learned with a serious face.
"Coincidentally, the natural gas pipeline where the gas leak occurred was right at the home of the target of our latest mission. He was the person most seriously affected by the explosion and was reduced to coke on the spot.
"The police found traces of suspected carbonization of cigarette butts at the scene, and it is currently unclear whether this was the cause of the explosion.
"But if this guess is correct..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his eyes and stared at the beer in the cup, and his voice was a little hoarse: "It means that an outsider entered the room when the incident occurred. This was not an accident, but an explosion deliberately caused by someone."
The owner of the room was lying on the bed when the incident occurred, obviously still asleep, and the cigarette butt left before going to bed would not burn for that long. If the owner of the room does not have any suicidal tendencies, the situation will be clear.
The mission had just been handed over to the JPN Special Operations Group yesterday, and the target was killed that night. If there was no connection between the two incidents, Zhu Fu Jingguang would never believe it.
The problem is that they don't know about it at all. If Fangtani Ling hadn't checked it out, they wouldn't even know there was a new mission.
"We must now find out whether Papet and Rai did this!" Fangtani Ling's expression was very serious. "Why did they hide their actions from us? Have our identities been exposed? "
"Just call and ask." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, "It's normal for us to have doubts after learning about this matter. It would be a bit strange if we didn't ask questions."
Jiangu Ling nodded in agreement. He was about to call Yu Jiang when he heard Zhu Fu Jingguang say, "I'll do it. I'm familiar with him, so it's easy to talk to him."
Jiangu Ling:? ? ?
In fact, Zhu Fu Jingguang just thought more about it than Jiang Gu Ling. After all, he knew that Yu Jiang would not do this because he doubted their identities.
Fangtani Rei hesitated for a moment: "Then... let me ask Rai."
"good."
