"Um……"

At the Metropolitan Police Department, after Officer Shiratori, along with Officers Sato and Takagi, brought a suspect named Kyosuke Kazato back to the station that night, and also brought back the gun that killed Officers Narasawa and Yoichiro Shiba, thus confirming that Kyosuke Kazato was the real culprit in the two shootings of police officers, Superintendent Kiyoshi Matsumoto personally took charge of the matter in the face of this situation.

After interrogating Kyosuke Kazato, it was confirmed that he was indeed the perpetrator in the shooting deaths of two police officers, a result that left the police utterly astonished.

After all, last night, by discovering the bomb at the scene, a trap was set to lure the killer into it, and the person caught turned out to be Yu Chengzhen.

But now, with Kyosuke Kazato arrested and the whole truth revealed, the matter is incredibly perplexing for the police. Although the details of the case and the perpetrator's actions match up, the question remains: how did the perpetrator manage to evade the police's trap last night and escape unscathed?

Moreover, and more importantly, how did Inspector Shiratori and his team discover Kyosuke Kazato's problem, successfully arrest him, and even find the gun he used to commit the crime?

The doubts surrounding this matter were resolved after Matsumoto Kiyonaga personally participated in the interrogation, obtaining crucial information from Kazato Kyosuke. Combined with the reports from Inspector Shiratori and his team, the final conclusion was—

A group of people, whose motives are unclear, helped Kazato Kyosuke escape a police trap last night, and then seemed to use this to threaten him, trying to get him to do things for them.

As a result, this group then contacted Officer Shiratori and his team, asking them to secretly investigate the connection between Kazedo Kyosuke and the incident. They then instructed them to guide Kazedo Kyosuke to take out the handgun used in the crime that night, while simultaneously notifying Officer Shiratori and his team to lie in wait and arrest him.

This situation is puzzling.

In particular, the key to this issue is who these people are and what their purpose is in doing this.
If the goal was to assist the police in arresting Kyosuke Kazato, why complicate things so much? Why not just let him fall into the police's trap last night?

After all, according to Kyosuke Kazato's confession, he did plant a bomb at the hotel's power switch last night, intending to use it as a means to commit his next crime.

Therefore, if no one had notified Kyosuke Kazato last night and things had just developed naturally, the police would have already successfully arrested Kyosuke Kazato. Why go through all that trouble?

Therefore, given this situation, the only clue that can be thought of to solve it is the cleaning staff who appeared in Kyosuke Kazato's counseling room today, the same person who had personally contacted Kyosuke Kazato.

Therefore, the police need to find the cleaning staff first.

Upon arriving, they discovered that the hospital's surveillance cameras had been destroyed, so they could only try to contact the cleaning company to see if they could find the person responsible.

However, based on what Kyosuke Kazato said so far, it seems to make sense that those people are incredibly powerful. But what is their purpose? Why do they seem like dangerous individuals when they are in contact with Kyosuke Kazato, yet at the same time they are assisting the police in solving the case?

Faced with this situation, the imposter "Matsumoto Kiyonaga" was actually very clear-headed—

It's quite obvious that the person who initially contacted Kyosuke Kazato and the person who contacted Inspector Shiratori and his group are not from the same faction. After all, he was personally involved in contacting Kyosuke Kazato last night to let him know that the police were using bombs to set up a trap.

As the person Rum had chosen, the other party had something on him that made him easy to control. Therefore, by taking advantage of his current position as an administrator, he could easily guide the police investigation, exonerate Kazato Kyosuke, or even pin the crime on someone else.

This wasn't just something he was involved in; many peripheral members of the organization also participated. It was they who discovered Kyosuke Kazato's weaknesses and subsequently threatened him, forcing him to align himself with the organization.

Therefore, because he understood everything the organization had done in this matter, Matsumoto Kiyonaga saw things clearly—

The key point is that the purpose of getting Kyosuke Kazato to hand over the pistol was to quickly pin the crime on Yusei. Once they had the pistol, with their advantage of being able to operate within the Metropolitan Police Department, it wouldn't be difficult to make this piece of evidence conclusively point to Yusei. And once they had solid evidence, no matter how much Yusei protested his innocence, it would be useless. After all, the entire interrogation and investigation from yesterday to today was enough to prove that Yusei could not prove his innocence and that he himself had a criminal motive. Therefore, this should have been an easy thing to do.

However, although the organization notified him to hand over the pistol as soon as possible, the cleaning staff member who later contacted Kazato Kyosuke and asked him to put the pistol in a designated location was definitely not one of the organization's people.

Looking at the whole incident, the other party clearly knew the organization's entire plan, which allowed them to seize the opportunity. Just after the organization notified them to hand over their pistol, the other party appeared, making them believe that the cleaner was also a member of the organization and had come to discuss the handover of the pistol. This prevented Kyosuke Kazato from contacting the organization to confirm the situation.

From this perspective, the cleaning staff member's identity is quite unusual. Not only did they know what Kazato Kyosuke was doing, but they were also monitoring him and his every move with the organization, as if they had a god's-eye view, and they tricked Kazato Kyosuke and the people in the organization.

Therefore, the impact of this matter should not be underestimated. The organization must find out who that person is, but at the same time, it cannot let the police ruin the matter. So, taking advantage of the fact that the police still believe that the person who contacted Kazato Kyosuke and the mysterious person who contacted Officer Shiratori and the others are from the same force, they will let the police investigate into a dead end first.

Therefore, by delaying the police's operation, the organization should be able to find the cleaning lady ahead of time...

However, it must be said that things have taken a bit beyond expectations. As of now, the police cannot confirm any clues about the organization. Neither the peripheral members of the organization who contacted Kazato Kyosuke nor that mysterious group have revealed much information to Kazato Kyosuke, leaving him completely confused.

Therefore, at least for the time being, there's no need to consider silencing this person on police territory.

Just to be on the safe side, I still need to keep an eye on this side, in case this person is pretending to be confused...

Thinking about this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga couldn't help but feel depressed.

I thought it would be a relatively easy operation, but in just a few days, so many messy things have happened, and they are all major events that could affect the organization!

It seems that recently, the organization has become somewhat different from what it used to be… (End of Chapter)
