——? !
"What did you say?!"
In the corridor that was supposed to remain relatively quiet, Mu Mu Shisan, whose eyes suddenly widened, was unable to hold back the shock in his heart. The volume that was close to a roar immediately attracted the attention of many nurses——
Realizing something was wrong, Megure Thirteen immediately lowered his tone, his brows full of solemnity: "Show me, Uehara-kun."
If these two cases can be connected, it means...
"Sato, do you have a detailed number of the bombs sold by the criminals in the Shinkansen bombing case?"
Just by glancing at the email sent to Katsuki Uehara by his colleagues in the forensics department, Megure Shisan already knew clearly the connection points between the two cases, and his eyes immediately turned to the subordinate who was mainly responsible for the bomb case in the past few days.
"13 pieces."
Miwako Sato gave her boss an extremely frivolous number, but the hearts of everyone present sank suddenly.
"That is to say, after excluding the bomb that detonated the Asahiju restaurant, the prisoner still has at least 12 military-grade bombs." Chiba and Shinobu swallowed subconsciously while rubbing his belly. He spat and turned to look at his friend Takagi.
If this prisoner attacked Shiratori Rensaburo because he wanted to take revenge on the police who had been clinging to him, then there is a high probability that they will be among the people who will suffer next.
Takagi Wataru, who also realized this, took a deep breath, but his eyes remained firm.
"maybe."
As the person in charge of the bomb case, Miwako Sato came up with another idea after thinking about it: "Police department, what if the prisoner's initial goal was to kill another person?
"What if Baitiao was just affected? Or maybe the prisoner found his contact information and deliberately induced him to try to hide his identity in the past, thus making us ignore the target he really wanted to kill?"
Sato Miwako, whose brain was running rapidly, gradually expanded her thoughts, and then immediately derived the next speculation: "Or, did Shiratori find something that forced the prisoner to choose to change the killing rules?"
Mumu Shisan couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, indicating that what he said made sense——
"No, the prisoner should still be following his own killing pattern and it hasn't changed."
While Megure Thirteen was thinking, to his surprise, Uehara Katsumi, who had often partnered with Sato Miwako this year, actually raised objections.
This is a bit rare.
"What do you think, Uehara-kun?" Megure Shisan, who always pays attention to teamwork, asked.
"The bomb transaction cannot be completed overnight, and judging from the number of bombs he purchased, it is obvious that the subsequent use of bombs to kill people was in his plan."
"Then if you say that, doesn't it mean that at least 12 places will explode?!" Takagi Wataru, who was brought into his thoughts by these words, suddenly thought of this terrible possibility, and his eyes widened in shock.
Chiba Kazunobu, who had always had a peaceful mind, couldn't help but darken his face. Thinking of the possible bombings in the future, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "This bastard!"
"Have you checked Shiratori's mobile phone? Are there any unusual calls or emails?" After pondering for a moment, Megure Thirteen glanced at the operating room where the lights were still on, and glanced at Sato and Uehara, the two first discoveries at the scene. people.
"After checking, there is nothing abnormal. If the prisoner deliberately guided Bai Niao to this restaurant, it must have been through other means. I have asked people to check it before coming to the hospital."
In the slightly surprised eyes of Megure Thirteen, Uehara Katsumi handed over his answer sheet.
"Who are the patient's family members? Are the patient's family members here?"
Several people in the corridor were discussing, but the door of the operating room was suddenly pushed open - the doctors and nurses pushing the ambulance bed slowly out of the operating room immediately interrupted everyone's discussion.
Mumu Shisan, who was concerned about comforting his subordinates, immediately went up to him and said eagerly: "The family is on the way, doctor, how is he doing?"
"The operation went smoothly and the patient is out of danger."
The answer given by the doctor caused several people to rush to the bed frame - Shiratori Rensaburo, who was wearing a ventilator, was still in a coma, but his chest rising and falling regularly with the sound of even breathing was enough to explain everything.
"Very good……"
Takagi and Chiba looked at each other, with a relieved smile on their faces.
It’s okay if it’s okay, it’s okay if it’s okay.
"Sato, Uehara, Takagi, Chiba, the next two cases will be investigated together. You four must catch that damn bastard back in the shortest possible time!"
Seeing the miserable state of Shiratori, one of his right-hand men, Mugu Shisan straightened his hat, with clearly suppressed anger in his tone: "The highest authority, I will take responsibility for anything that happens!"
"learn!"
The four people headed by Sato Miwako looked at each other in pairs and spoke in unison.
"Also, you don't need to worry about the pressure from the White Bird Consortium and the above to solve the case. If you have any questions, just ask them to come to me. You just need to investigate at your own pace, don't rush around."
Mu Mu Shisan, who has been working on the front line for nearly half his life, is fully aware of the pressures that may arise in the future, and directly shows off his pretentiousness as the boss of the three series.
"Police Department——"
"Okay, hurry back to the Metropolitan Police Department to analyze the case. Leave it to me to handle it. The Shiratori family will be arriving soon, and I have to explain the situation to them."
Mumu Shisan waved his hand to signal the others not to waste time.
Takagi and Chiba each had a car, and after saying goodbye, they quickly drove away from the hospital. Sato came to the hospital in Katsuki Uehara's car, so he naturally got into the passenger seat of the pink EVO when he returned.
“I still can’t figure out why the prisoner suddenly attacked White Bird.
"If it was like you said that his murder plan was to use a bomb from the beginning, then why bother to take the risk of possible exposure to lure Shiratiao into that restaurant? If he wanted to fool around, he could do it Choose someone else over a cop."
Miwako Sato, who bit her lip and pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, turned her eyes to her partner who was driving and expressed the doubts that had been lingering in her heart.
"I don't know either, so I have to start from the beginning."
"You mean the seven deceased people before? Bai Niao and the others searched over and over again for a long time, but couldn't find any clues."
"Generally speaking, there are generally only two types of perpetrators of serial murders - random killings that cover up murder targets and psychopathic crimes."
Turning the steering wheel and turning the intersection, Uehara Katsumi stepped on the accelerator and said with great certainty: "When I heard Shiratori say it, I actually thought it was more likely to be a random killing, but now I am very sure that this is not the case. Not a random killing.
"Because if it was a truly random killing, the prisoner would not have purchased the bombs needed before committing the next round of crimes. In other words, the prisoner is still killing according to the rules he set.
"And since it's not a random killing, it means that there must be some connection between the seven previous deceased people that the White Birds and the others haven't found yet. In other words, there must be some connection with the eighth deceased that we can't find out now. There is a certain correlation between them.”
The restaurant suffered heavy casualties due to the bomb detonation.
Facing the corpses and the injured who were rushed to the hospital for rescue, the police could not tell who was the eighth target of the restaurant bombing. Even the metal card belonged to Katsumi Uehara in the ruins. found.
Hearing this, Miwako Sato couldn't help but frown: "I'll push it again to see if the autopsy can be queued. In addition, the results of the bank account and the phone number used for contact with the bomber should be available in the afternoon."
