Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 37: The Explosion Perpetrator in Memory

Amid the busy atmosphere of the search class, several months passed quietly.

At 9: a.m., a search was conducted in the office of Section , Department .

Makino drank coffee while leisurely looking at the scenery outside the window.

For some unknown reason, no cases occurred in the past few days, and Makino enjoyed a few rare days of peace.

After Makino finished his coffee, Officer Tanaka came over with a faxed document.

"Inspector Makino, take a look at this. This is the fax we just received."

Makino took the document and took a closer look at the contents:

——"Dear brave officers, I will detonate two bombs at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will announce the location of the bombs. If you want us to stop, please prepare 10 billion yen in cash as soon as possible."

After reading the above content, Makino pondered for a moment.

Judging from the time, the explosion was indeed about to happen.

Moreover, the content of this "letter" basically matches the information in his memory.

At this moment, that familiar voice sounded in Makino's mind again.

——【Task triggered, event level: A+.】

Almost a year has passed since Makino accepted Inspector Megure's invitation and started handling cases as an "outside aid".

In this year, he triggered dozens of system tasks, but only encountered two A+ level events.

Although he was still unclear about the details of the system's event rating system, he had figured out the basic rating rules.

The more complex the event itself and the greater its impact, the higher the event level.

Since the triggered event this time can be rated as A+, it must meet this condition.

If I was not sure just now, now I am basically certain of it.

The person who sent the fax was undoubtedly the bomber who killed Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda.

At this time, Officer Tanaka noticed that Makino had remained silent after seeing the contents of the fax, and suddenly felt a little flustered.

Over the years, the Search Division has often received similar faxes.

"Threat", "intimidation", "crime warning", "bomb warning"...

At the beginning, everyone took this very seriously.

Whenever a particularly suspicious fax is discovered, an investigation is immediately launched.

But in the end, more than 95 percent of the faxes were proven to be hoaxes.

Especially bomb trailers, 99% of them are fake.

Coupled with the fact that daily cases continued to increase, police officers eventually had no choice but to "ignore" such faxes.

If there had not been any cases in the past few days, Officer Tanaka would not have shown this fax to Makino.

Seeing that Makino was still not putting down the faxed document, Officer Tanaka hesitated and said, "Inspector, this... must be someone's prank, right?"

"No, this is not a prank. I'll go inform Inspector Megure, you gather everyone." Makino shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Officer Tanaka's expression changed immediately.

After being stunned for a second, he immediately turned around to gather everyone.

Makino also took the fax to Inspector Megure's desk and handed the fax to Inspector Megure.

……

Twenty minutes later, the small meeting room of the Search Section was packed with police officers.

After hearing the news from Officer Tanaka, a group of police officers immediately gathered in the small conference room.

No one doubted Makino's judgment at all. Since Inspector Makino said it was not a prank, then it definitely wasn't!
After a while, Manager Matsumoto walked into the meeting room with Makino and Megure.

Manager Matsumoto coughed lightly, and the meeting room suddenly fell silent.

"Makino, please explain the current situation to everyone." "Okay."

Makino walked to the whiteboard and said seriously, "The criminal is a male, between 30 and 40 years old. He has a high level of education and may have worked in a job related to chemical engineering, but he eventually left the company for some reason and is currently unemployed."

"What we can be sure of at this point is that the criminal must have a car."

"Since the criminal chose to send the notice today, it means he has already set up the bomb."

"From the fact that the criminal was so arrogant in demanding that we pay 10 billion yen, the two bombs are probably in a crowded place."

"Focus on investigating nearby shopping malls, high-end apartments and residential areas to see if there is any information about suspicious vehicles."

At this point, Makino remembered something and continued, "The prisoner's personality may be quite extreme. Once the prisoner is alerted, serious consequences may occur!"

"In addition, the possibility of accomplices cannot be ruled out, and this should also be taken into account during the investigation."

Inspector Megure stood up and added, "Teams 2 and 3 will go to the nearby chemical companies to investigate. The others will follow what Brother Makino said and focus on investigating the nearby shopping malls, high-end apartments and residential areas!"

After saying this, Makino and Megure looked at Manager Matsumoto together.

Manager Matsumoto nodded: "Let's get started!"

"Yes!!"

In an instant, a group of police officers rushed out of the meeting room and went their separate ways to carry out their tasks.

Before long, Makino and two other people were the only ones left in the conference room.

Inspector Megure looked at Officer Matsumoto with concern: "Officer, do we really not need to contact the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team?"

Officer Matsumoto shook his head. "No, Makino is right. We cannot send out the explosive ordnance disposal team before we determine the exact location of the bomb. Otherwise, once the prisoner is alerted, all our efforts will be wasted."

"Since the prisoner's notice time is tomorrow, we still have time."

Inspector Megure sighed and touched his hat weakly: "That's true, let's wait for the results of the investigation..."

……

2 pm.

Makino was sitting at his desk organizing the information he had collected so far.

At this moment, Officer Megure suddenly walked up to Makino and said sternly, "Inspector Uehara of the Security Department just called. It seems that they also received the fax, and along with the fax came a simple bomb design."

Makino chuckled and said, "Oh? The criminal wants to prove to us that he has the ability to make bombs?"

"That's right. This matter has attracted the attention of the Security Department. After the senior members of the Security Department knew that we also received the fax from the criminal, they prepared to let us cooperate with the explosive ordnance disposal team led by Inspector Uehara." Inspector Megure nodded.

Half an hour later, Makino and Inspector Megure walked into the meeting room of the Mobile Team of the Security Department.

As soon as he entered the conference room, Makino heard two familiar voices coming from the audience.

“Long Yi!!”

"Tsk, is it really you?!"

At this moment, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who were sitting in the audience, looked at Makino in surprise, their eyes filled with excitement.

Makino smiled and waved, greeting the two of them.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure asked in a low voice: "Makino, who are these two?"

"They were all my classmates in the police academy."

At this moment, Inspector Uehara, who was sitting on the stage, glared at Hagiwara and Matsuda, then stood up and walked in front of Inspector Makino and Inspector Megure and said:

"Hey! Let me introduce you. These two are Inspector Megure and Inspector Makino from the First Investigation Division. They will be working with us this time!"

Amid the applause of the police officers below the stage, Makino and Megure sat down on the stage.

After the applause ended, Inspector Uehara turned around and glared at Matsuda before slowly explaining the current situation.

Matsuda: “???”
