"What?!"
Officer Megure was immediately confused by Kawakami Tsumugi's question, but he quickly reacted and reflexively looked to another control point of the Ferris wheel.
Kawakami Tsumugi immediately reached out and grabbed him to prevent Officer Megure from revealing his flaws:
"Don't make too big a move. The murderer may not have left, but may be looking at his masterpiece at the scene."
Hearing this, Sato Miwako, who had been talking to Matsuda Jinpei on the side, put down her mobile phone with a look of astonishment and a bit of enlightenment.
She turned on the speakerphone, and Matsuda Jinpei's voice came from the phone:
"It is indeed possible. If the bomber detonates the second control device, he can completely stop the Ferris wheel and trap me in mid-air - is Mr. Kawakami here?"
This curly hair was quite calm, even calm, and it didn't look like he was in the same room with a bomb at all. Kawakami thought, maybe he had been waiting for this day.
"That's right, I came over with my friends to play, but I didn't expect that Officer Matsuda had the Ferris wheel to himself."
He complained half-seriously, then brought the topic back on track.
"If the bomber is really paying attention here at any time, any action we take may cause him to have a stress reaction."
"On the other hand, if he mixes in the crowd, we have a chance to catch him." Matsuda Jinpei said.
"What should we do?" Officer Megure asked subconsciously.
"Distract him."
"Disrupt the situation."
Kawakami Tsumugi and Matsuda Jinpei in the Ferris wheel answered almost at the same time.
The gray-haired young man who was robbed couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked up at the Ferris wheel and didn't know why Curly Hair still had time to chat with him during the bomb disposal.
"It would be great if the person involved is also mentally prepared." Tsumugi Kawakami said with a fake smile and ate a lemon candy by the way. "Can Officer Megure please take the time to tell me what happened?"
…………
Scotland, who was mixed in the crowd, watched Kawakamiji talking to the police from a distance.
The gray-haired young man held his chin with his hand and analyzed the information in a decent manner. He really looked like a detective.
Although he kept saying that he was just watching the excitement before, Scotland can now confirm that Kawakami Tsumugi wants to... help Matsuda Jinpei.
This guy has always been well-informed, so it's not surprising to learn about this.
Kashasha was trying to help a police officer.
...and also helping his former friend.
Scotland felt the urge to shoot Kashasha in the safe house again. He hurriedly grabbed his left arm, and the pain of the wound being squeezed brought him back to his senses.
Kashasha is absolutely loyal to the organization. Scotland suddenly thought of the image of the gray-haired young man saying this to him before.
This made Scotland seem to have grasped something, and instinctively began to do psychological construction:
Kawakami Tsumugi is just protecting his identity in the sun. He has been trying to maintain a good relationship with the police. It is not surprising that he interfered in the case. As for Matsuda Jinpei, he is just an ordinary member of the police...
If a lie is repeated, it will become true. In other words, the so-called "reality" is also idealistic, and the only criterion is whether you can get through the lake yourself.
Scotland was unconsciously imposing psychological cues on herself.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. It turned out that the police who had previously maintained order gathered around again. Someone took a loudspeaker and shouted at them:
"Tourists present, please don't panic. According to our analysis, the person who installed the bomb may be among you! Please don't panic and don't move around casually. We will verify the identities one by one..."
After hearing that the bomber was in their midst, the crowd went into complete turmoil, and Scotland even got hit several times.
He felt the vibration of his phone, took it out and checked it and found a text message from Tsumugi Kawakami:
[Well, I haven’t met such interesting colleagues in a long time... They call themselves the Knights of the Round Table and are preparing to bring us a wonderful fireworks. Ah, the fireworks set off at noon. ——cachaca】
noon? ! Speaking of which,... Scotland looked at the time above the phone.
There's still about five minutes left.
[Arrogant yet cautious, and a wicked sense of pleasure? It has to be said that such people will always become third-rate criminals because of their sense of ritual...
He was there. At the same time, in order to satisfy himself, he would be in a position where he could clearly see both the Ferris wheel and Officer Megure's every move. Not too far away. ——cachaca】
Scotland was stunned. In order to better observe Kawakami, he chose such a direction.
However, despite the restrictions, the area that can meet this requirement is not small, and it is still difficult to find.
[Analyze the terrain, you should know where that direction is... Just now the crowd is moving, and his movements and thoughts will be disrupted.
By the way, did you bring a signal jamming device? Maybe you can turn it on and try it. ——cachaca】
This useful aid he naturally had with him, and Scotland opened it at once.
The signal jamming device was given to him by Kawakami Tsumugi a long time ago. Because it is a portable version, its effect is extremely limited. The diameter of the coverage area is only about one meter... which is better than nothing.
Scotland is still observing the people around him:
Some were watching the fun without caring, some were whispering to the people around them with worried faces, and some started to protest when they heard that their identities were being verified...Who could it be?
No, there are still too many people and it’s impossible to find them.
[Well, don’t worry, it shouldn’t be difficult to find this colleague, just like finding a needle in straw. ——cachaca】
…………
While the police were trying to verify the identities of the tourists present, Tsumugi Kawakami and Miwako Sato avoided everyone and sneaked to another control device.
Fortunately, from the direction of tourists, this is a blind spot. If you stand close to the door, you won't be able to see anyone approaching.
This is a small room like a security booth, half occupied by the operating desk. An unknown black package is tied to the operating table, which can be seen almost at a glance.
When she saw the package, Sato Miwako took a deep breath and quickly reported the situation to Matsuda Jinpei:
"Just as we thought, there was another bomb in the control room."
"Really? I also found something here: the mercury balance rod, which will be triggered and activated after receiving a strong enough vibration." Matsuda Jinpei said, "It seems that this is the second move of the bomber."
In other words, if this control device is blown up, the Ferris wheel will stop directly, and the vibration generated will be enough to activate the mercury rod.
While they were talking, Kawakami Tsumugi had opened the door and stepped into the control room.
Miwako Sato noticed his movements and her scalp suddenly went numb:
"Oh, Mr. Kawakami, you can't-"
The gray-haired young man didn't care about Miwako Sato's obstruction, but hurriedly checked the bomb.
After confirming that it was just an ordinary time bomb without any fancy pressure device or vibration detection device, he used the knife on his cuff to cut the rope holding the bomb.
Then Kawakami picked it up and threw the bomb out the window.
Fortunately, in the name of identity verification, the police cleared a large space between the control room and the crowd, which could be used for harmless treatment.
"Time waits for no one. This thing may explode at any time. By the way, tell Curly to hold the bomb steady. If the mercury rod is triggered, don't blame me." Kawakami said very fast.
He quickly reached out his hand, pulled Miwako Sato into the control room, and closed the door.
Barely seconds later, the bomb exploded.
