He knew what Angstra meant. Whether it was for the organization's mission or to protect Officers Matsuda and Sato from being targeted by the organization, the three of them had to leave as soon as possible.
...But looking at Apello's half-smiling look and the way Matsuda Jinpei was aroused by his attitude, he always felt that it would not be so easy to leave.
In the same way, he left a sentence on the back of Angostela's hand: "How are you sure?"
After writing the last character, Zhu Fu Jingguang's fingers accidentally touched a raised scar, and the bandage on Angostela's right arm disappeared.
It wasn't that he forgot to wrap it up in the morning, but when the three of them followed Matsuda back to the hotel, he gave Apello the bandage.
Zhu Fu Jingguang originally thought that Angstra wanted to convey some message in this way, but he didn't expect that after entering the hotel, Apello, after applying the medicine, directly wrapped the bandage around his injured arm.
…
Matsuda Jinpei noticed the two people's covered hands and knew that they were making secret moves, so he could only pretend not to see it.
Sato Miwako closed the manual and handed it to him: "How long until the local prefectural police arrive?"
"At least three hours."
After Matsuda Jinpei finished speaking, he lowered his head and quickly browsed the information that Sato Miwako had just recorded.
The red-haired man who was the most suspected, the deceased, and three other unfamiliar faces present, were childhood playmates.
The woman sitting on the other side of Morofushi Kagemitsu is called Tono Mizuki. She is one of the waiters at the hotel. She was on duty at the front desk when the incident occurred, but she said there was nothing unusual before the explosion.
"Aren't you the local police?"
The man sitting across from the fireplace heard their exchange and sat up straight.
His name is Takehiko Muto, a master carpenter who strongly opposed the establishment of the reservoir. After his opposition failed, he did not move to New Taipei's Ze Village and built a house in the nearby back hill. This time he came to participate in the event.
Return to the village.
Judging from this point alone, Takehiko Muto is one of the suspects in the Tokyo subway bomb case... But Matsuda Jinpei discovered that Morofushi Kagemitsu and the boy didn't even look at him, so the suspicion could basically be ruled out.
"That's right, we are police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 1," Miwako Sato said.
"I remember that the police have their own jurisdictions. If you handle cases across jurisdictions casually, you will be punished, right?" Takehiko Muto frowned.
Matsuda Jinpei raised his head and looked at the faces of the people in front of him. Takehiko Muto, who asked this question, crossed his arms, and the other two women looked confused. Most citizens actually didn't know the rules that police could not handle cases across districts at will.
"laugh……"
A mocking laugh suddenly sounded.
Yamao Yosuke seemed to feel that his suspicion was not strong enough, so he went out of his way to add fuel to the fire. This laughter not only caused the displeasure of the two police officers, but even several other hotel staff standing aside frowned.
"It was originally like this, but the current situation is special. Even if there is a punishment, I will accept it." Matsuda Jinpei stared at Yamao Yosuke closely and said coldly, "As a police officer, we will never leave criminals alone...so some people don't want to
Take chances."
The atmosphere was a little solid for a while.
A short-haired woman sat next to Yamao Yosuke. She was Fuyumi Tatehara, a nurse at the temporary clinic next to the hotel. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and Matsuda Jinpei quickly recognized her as the one who called someone last night.
She looked uneasily at the smiling Yamao Yosuke, and then at the expressionless Matsuda Jinpei. She seemed to want to say something, but was too timid to speak.
"Miss Tachihara, what do you want to say?" Matsuda Jinpei quickly noticed something unusual about her.
"...Actually there is another person."
Tachihara Fuyumi trembled when she was caught off guard. She quickly calmed down and whispered something Miwako Sato had not asked before.
"It's Yosuke's cousin Yamao Keisuke. He was imprisoned a few years ago. Hikawa said he was released not long ago. We also invited him to our party yesterday, but he was not present. We talked until about 10 o'clock last night.
, before I left, I saw Bingglai borrowing the hotel’s landline to make a phone call... It must have been to him, because I saw him mouthing ‘Shanwei’.”
Matsuda Jinpei looked at the waiter and the store manager who were on duty last night. The store manager hesitated and hesitated, and the waiter confirmed: "That gentleman is indeed calling Yamao."
Miwako Sato asked several suspects: "Do you know the contact information of Mr. Yamao?"
Tono Mizuki and Muto Takehiko said they were unclear, and Tachihara Fuyumi also shook her head: "If Hikawa hadn't told us, I wouldn't have known he came out..."
Sato Miwako turned to Yamao Yosuke again. Her filter on this rare handsome man had already been shattered to pieces: "What about you? Mr. Yamao, do you know his contact information or address?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know either."
After confirming the general situation of the suspect, Matsuda Jinpei closed the manual and returned it to Sato Miwako.
The two of them are criminal police officers, and the work of the forensic department is not under their control. It is just a special situation at the moment. They have just conducted a preliminary inspection of the crime scene, and now it is their turn to search the room of the deceased and the suspect.
Matsuda Jinpei stood up and walked to Yamao Yosuke. He felt the worry in Morofushi Kageguang's eyes towards him, but he still insisted on telling his plan.
"Mr. Yamao, can you take me to check your room?"
————
Hearing Matsuda's request, Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart trembled heavily.
When he saw Apello smile even bigger and look at Matsuda like he was looking at a novel toy, his anxiety and fear climbed to the top almost instantly. However, due to his status as an undercover agent, he could only pretend to be
Calm.
Matsuda Jinpei knew that they were going undercover, but he didn't know the specific style of the organization they were undercover... No, judging from Matsuda's character, even if he knew, he would never be afraid.
He has no reason to stop Matsuda. What Matsuda Jinpei is currently doing is the normal process of handling the case. The police will search the suspect's room and belongings. Even if it were not him, if it were the local police from Niigata Prefecture, the result would be the same.
"sure."
Apello stood up calmly and stood opposite the serious-looking Matsuda Jinpei. His attitude was quite casual and showed no guilty conscience.
But Zhu Fu Jingguang knew that this was not the arrogance of an innocent person, but the arrogance and contempt of justice by a criminal.
——Even if something is found that should not be investigated, the worst thing is to silence them afterwards. If killing one is not enough, kill ten. If you kill too many, you can always clean them up. The organization has not been doing this for a day or two.
Zhu Fu Jingguang felt bitter in his heart, and there was nothing he could do to stop Apello.
Once he opens his mouth, the organization will not only refuse to stop, but will even doubt his relationship with Matsuda, question why he wants to speak for a policeman, and conduct a deeper investigation... When that happens, not only himself, but Zero will also
implicated.
He could only watch helplessly as Apello led Matsuda towards the abyss... No, that's not right!
Zhu Fu Jingguang reacted quickly and realized that there was a life-saving straw beside him.
