There was a rapid knock on the door, and at the same time came Miwako Sato's anxious shout——
"Matsuda! What happened inside?!"
Matsuda Jinpei glanced towards the door, his expression returned to calmness, as if all his anger was vented with that punch.
He let go of his hand, completely ignoring Yamao Yosuke who was stunned on the spot, and went to open the door with the things that fell out.
Outside the door was Sato Miwako, with several other acquaintances of the deceased and hotel employees beside her - the sound of his punch just now was really loud - but Morofushi Kagemitsu and the boy were not here.
"What happened?!" Sato Miwako looked at Matsuda Jinpei, and then looked into the room. When she noticed the red-haired man leaning against the wall, her eyes were stunned: "You couldn't have beaten the suspect, right?
!”
"...Is this the image I have in your mind?"
Matsuda Jinping was speechless.
No matter how angry he is, he will never forget his identity - no matter what the suspect has done, when the suspect does not attack him, the police, as law enforcers, have no right to beat people.
Although he was almost so angry that he punched someone in the face... Fortunately, he came to his senses after throwing the punch and moved to the side in time, but in the end it just punched through the wall behind him.
There was a dull pain in his fist. Matsuda Jinpei, who was accustomed to boxing, didn't take this little pain to heart. He opened his hand to Miwako Sato, revealing the pinhole camera in his palm.
The hotel owner shrank back. Matsuda Jinpei noticed his evasive appearance and quickly figured out where this thing came from.
"This thing is stuck in the wall over in Room 108. It is not damaged. It may have captured the movement in the house last night." Matsuda Jinpei said while looking directly at the boss, "Now we just need to find the connected device."
Miwako Sato followed his gaze and understood instantly when she saw her boss's guilty look.
The boss looked at the two policemen with cold sweat. Tachihara Fuyumi, who was following Sato Miwako, didn't care about their movements. She kept looking inside. Seeing that Matsuda Jinpei had no intention of stopping her, she ran into the house.
"Yosuke, are you okay?"
Matsuda Jinpei turned around, and he saw the female nurse walking forward, reaching out to straighten Yamao Yosuke's clothes - he was originally wearing a loose yukata, but when he grabbed the collar, the clothes on his chest were almost completely open.
.
Yamao Yosuke was injured in the explosion, and there was still a patch of blood on his right sleeve that had not yet dried. Matsuda Jinpei's eyes stayed on his lowered right hand, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He remembered that when he first entered the room, the bandage was clearly well wrapped, but now it was half loose... When was it removed?
"Don't come near me casually."
Yamao Yosuke didn't appreciate the closeness of his former playmate. He gently opened the woman's hand, walked aside alone, and arranged his clothes.
Tachihara Fuyumi's hand dropped, and she whispered: "...you still don't forgive us?"
Yamao Yosuke didn't seem to hear these words. He bent down to pick up the bomb design, carefully pressed the wrinkles on it, and then looked at Matsuda Jinpei.
Matsuda Jinpei's face darkened again.
Even if the guy who designed such a nasty bomb was not the murderer of Glacier this time, as a member of the organization that Zhu Fu had infiltrated, he might have other criminal cases on his hands... Unfortunately, he had no evidence to send him in.
Yamao Yosuke put the design drawings and college graduation photos back in their original places. He walked to Matsuda Jinpei but looked at the other policeman present.
"Miss Police, I suddenly remembered something."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of Sato Miwako who was communicating with his boss, Heshan.
"What's up?"
"My cousin was imprisoned before the village was moved, so he has no place to live here...but a college classmate of mine also lives here. Because of me, they happened to know each other in the past, and he might go to him."
"Are you sure?" Miwako Sato asked.
"It's just a guess on my part. After all, my classmate unfortunately lost his best friend three years ago and moved to Kitazawa Village from Tokyo. He hasn't contacted me for a long time. I don't know what he is doing now." What……"
Yamao Yosuke did not look at Matsuda Jinpei next to him during the whole process.
But when Matsuda Jinpei saw the raised corners of his mouth, the fists at his sides clenched again.
He knew that these words were said to him on purpose. He had been careless just now and lost control of his emotions. He exposed a lot of information, which was enough for the man in front of him to set a trap based on that information.
——A trap that is a fatal temptation for him.
————
Outside the hotel, Sui Baiye and Guo Guo were walking towards Lake Sawajiri, which is the closest road to the reservoir and the target's hiding place.
Scotland was halfway through when he suddenly stopped. There were eavesdropping headphones on his ears.
Before setting off, he secretly installed a bug on a suspect so that they could remotely monitor the situation in the hotel.
"...The police officer found a pinhole camera in the deceased's room. It was installed by the boss to spy on a tenant who had stayed there in the past. It may have captured what happened there last night."
Jing Baiye hummed, not surprised.
Not only does he have the habit of using the system map to check if there are any enemies before entering a building, but when entering a new residence, he will also use the [Privacy Protection] skill to check whether there are electronic devices inside that can spy on privacy.
As a result, after checking last night, Jing Baiye found that his and Scotland's rooms were safe, and there was one next to Apello's room. So when Apello called, he reminded him.
"Then what?"
"Apero said that his cousin may have gone to join his classmates." Scotland's voice was calm, "It seems that we have to hurry up. If we go late, the police may take Yamao Keisuke away first."
Jing Baiye raised his head and glanced at the reservoir in the distance. The system map was floating beside him. There were no red squares on it for the time being, but with the precedent of the opening ceremony, he did not relax his vigilance.
"Don't worry, since they are still in the hotel for the time being, they can't be faster than us." He comforted.
And judging from the map, only Apero's college classmate was in the cabin. Yamao Keisuke was not there. He went to the depths of the forest near the reservoir.
Jing Baiye was once again glad that he had given a portion of the smart bandage to Apero.
Apello is a colleague who has the same hobbies, and Officer Matsuda is his benefactor, and one is pretty and the other handsome. Jing Baiye likes both of them very much and doesn't want anything to happen to them - neither of them will do.
Smart bandages are also very eye-catching. For the sake of appearance, no matter who wants to hit someone or blow up someone, it will stop them.
only……
Jing Baiye remembered another feature of the smart bandage, and his eyes wandered to the side, feeling another kind of worry about his colleagues and the benefactor who saved the house.
I hope these two adult men will not encounter strange dangers...
