My Anime Crossover Diary: The goddesses are going crazy looking for me!

"We can still hear the explosion, so it shouldn't be too far away, maybe within a 10-kilometer radius at most?"

Longmen Liutouhua's ahoge (cowlick) twitched excitedly: "I know, I know!"

"I'll send someone right away!"

Chapter Thirty-Two: A Plot Full of Loopholes

Shinobu Kocho: "Finally, I've locked onto your location."

Matsumoto Rangiku: "Haha, even the best-laid plans can go wrong, this guy finally said the wrong thing."

"This time you can't escape."

At this moment, Lin Yu was still unaware that he had inadvertently exposed himself; he was still updating his diary.

"Since my wife, Miwako, wants my help..."

"I'll just talk about the Tokyo Tower bombing."

"I won't waste any more words, I'll just reveal the answer directly."

"Another bombing site set up by the criminals was at Teitan High School."

"There were five huge metal barrels in the school's warehouse, and the explosives were in these five barrels."

"But note that the bomb disposal expert must go secretly, without letting the criminals know, because he still has the remote control."

"If he finds out that the police are sending people to defuse these bombs, he will not hesitate to press the remote control."

"As for who the criminals are, I won't say."

"Because I'll deal with this guy myself."

"This criminal seems a bit mentally unstable to me."

"Seven years ago, he and his accomplices took residents of two apartment buildings hostage to extort ransom from the police."

"After receiving the ransom, they remotely stopped the timer on the time bomb."

"However, the police broadcast a false message, saying that the time bomb had not stopped ticking."

"His companion had some conscience; upon hearing the news, he used a public phone booth to call the police and tell them how to stop the bomb's timer."

"Police located the man's accomplice by phone and arrested him."

"His companion was accidentally hit and killed by a car during the escape, so he harbored a grudge against the police."

"Later, three years ago, he used the same method to kill Matsuda Jinpei."

As Lin Yu writes this, she feels quite speechless. The plot about the criminal's accomplice being hit by a car and killed is also full of loopholes.

It's highly improbable that the police would use radio and television to broadcast false information to lure criminals into a trap.

First, how can the police be so sure that a criminal on the run would listen to the radio?

Logically, the other party should be on the run and in a state of panic, so under normal circumstances they shouldn't be listening to the radio.

This trap is full of randomness.

Second, the other party got off the bus while on the run and randomly found a phone booth.

Therefore, the police had no idea where the phone booth was located beforehand.

It could be any location in the city.

How long does it take from the moment the other party makes a phone call to the moment they locate the person and send people to the phone booth to arrest them?

This should take at least ten minutes, right?

If it's far away, it could take twenty or thirty minutes.

The other party called the police and told them how to defuse the bomb. Could this buy them ten minutes or so?

Destroying a bomb is simply a matter of cutting a few wires, which one to cut first and which one to cut later—it's just a simple sequence.

The murderer's accomplice can finish the story in two or three minutes over the phone. If the police drag it out, the other party will realize it's a trap.

Therefore, in the anime, it seems quite illogical that the murderer's accomplice was arrested by the police while making a phone call in a phone booth.

It was as if the police knew in advance that he would make a call from this phone booth and had laid an ambush there, so that the police would come and arrest him as soon as he made the call.

The speed at which the police responded was absolutely incredible!

It's like the police officers can teleport.

Furthermore, the original anime explained this plot point as a misunderstanding caused by the murderer's companion hearing a rebroadcast of the radio broadcast.

Thirty minutes after the timer stopped, the police received another call from the murderer's accomplice. They decided to use this as a pretext to delay the murderer, and in the process of arresting the accomplice, the murderer died.

Then the murderer remotely detonated the bomb, killing Kenji Ogiwara.

When Lin Yu watched this part of the story, she was also quite speechless.

Lin Yu thought this explanation was utter nonsense!

First, since the timer has been stopped for 30 minutes, why hasn't professional bomb disposal expert Kenji Ogihara defused the bomb?

This speed is too slow!

Secondly, the exact words the reporter said on the radio that the murderer heard were, "The bomb's timer hasn't stopped yet. Are you watching TV, you criminal?"

The word "still" reveals the problem.

This indicates that the reporter knew the timer had actually stopped.

Then he kept calling out to the thug, which means that he was saying this to the two thugs, wanting them to mistakenly believe that the timer had not stopped ticking.

The so-called misunderstanding with the criminals was mentioned by Miwako Sato in her recollections, and she herself did not personally participate in the case 7 years ago; she only heard about it from others.

However, after receiving the ransom from the perpetrators, they remotely controlled the timer of the second bomb to stop ticking until half an hour later when the perpetrators made a phone call. The police then located the phone booth where the perpetrators were and made their arrest.

This should take at least forty or fifty minutes, right?

Kenji Ogiwara hasn't disarmed the bomb after all this time. That's incredibly unprofessional.

Therefore, there is only one explanation for all of this.

That so-called replay was not a replay at all, and the time interval between the calls by the criminals was not 30 minutes.

Instead, after the police paid the ransom, the perpetrators remotely stopped the bomb's timer.

While Kenji Ogihara was defusing the bomb, a particularly clever police officer came up with this scheme to lure the enemy out.

Then let the reporters say on television and radio that the bomb's timer has not stopped ticking.

This time interval will absolutely not exceed 10 minutes.

Surely the timer on a bomb can't be set for several hours? That would give the police time to defuse the bomb, wouldn't it?

Criminals shouldn't be that stupid, right? So the timer on the bomb probably wasn't set for too long.

If the timeout period is too long, even if the police cannot dismantle it, they will have enough time to move the bomb to an open area and wait for it to detonate.

The $10 billion ransom will only be paid at the very end, when the bomb's countdown is down to its final minutes, and only if the police determine that the bomb cannot be defused.

If there were still half an hour left on the bomb's timer, the police would definitely try to defuse it themselves first.

Chapter Thirty-Three: They're all fucking insane!

After all, a ransom of 10 billion is no small amount. No one can bear the responsibility of handing over the ransom to the criminals without even trying to defuse the bomb themselves.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that the perpetrators remotely stopped the bomb's timer after receiving the ransom, and the timer on the bomb was definitely less than half an hour.

If the perpetrator hears on the radio half an hour later that the timer has not stopped ticking.

They wouldn't fall for that, because the bomb should have exploded long ago.

Therefore, it's safe to say that the perpetrators heard the broadcast shortly after receiving the ransom.

This was a setup by the police.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't have time to worry about these things right now.

After all, it's an anime world, so whether it's reasonable or not is up to the author.

However, the murderer spent seven years plotting revenge against the police because of this incident.

Lin Yu could only offer one assessment: "This kind of person is insane!"

You might say this person has a conscience, right? When he heard the broadcast, the killer's reaction was, "So what if the timer on the bomb keeps ticking? It doesn't matter if people get killed."

It's clear that he has a terrible conscience.

But if you say he has no conscience? Holy crap, he's been persistent for seven years, still wanting to avenge his comrades.

It's said that even a biological son might not be able to think about avenging his father even after 7 years.

As a heartless criminal, he was able to develop such a deep bond with his companion.

This is incredible!

Moreover, the fact that he escaped the net back then indicates that he successfully escaped, and it is very likely that he escaped with a large ransom he had extorted.

For a heartless person like him, receiving such a large sum of money, why not live in anonymity and enjoy life instead?

They were relentlessly seeking revenge against their comrades.

This doesn't make any logical sense at all!

So sometimes Lin Yu wondered if the murderer and his partner were best buddies?

Otherwise, a criminal with no moral bottom line wouldn't go to such lengths for his comrades.

From the perspective of criminal motive, this argument is completely untenable!

It can only be described as quite bizarre.

To seek revenge has dragged many innocent people into this mess, and that's not all.

What's even more bizarre is that you're going to take revenge, fine!

But his method of revenge was also bizarre.

To put the bomb disposal team in a difficult position, present them with a choice: defuse the bomb or sacrifice themselves to obtain information about the second bomb and save more lives?

But the other person's thought process made Lin Yu want to take apart his brain to see if it was filled with water.

Since it's a multiple-choice question, you have to make sure both options are true, right?

They made the monitor display information in the last three seconds of the damn time.

No normal person would believe that someone could send a text message in three seconds, right?

How did he know that Matsuda Jinpei could type six words in three seconds and send a text message?

Is this entirely a trick designed from God's perspective?!

The premise of designing this trap is that he believed the person going to defuse the bomb could send the message out in three seconds.

In such a situation, the bomb disposal expert would be in a dilemma. Otherwise, knowing that he could not send a message for three seconds, he would only have the option to defuse the bomb, which would make the choice meaningless.

He also designed a plan that if the bomb disposal expert were cowardly and defused the bomb prematurely, it would lead to a second bomb killing even more people, thus damaging the police's credibility.

Lin Yu's assessment of this was: "This kind of person is insane!"

If you want to undermine the police's credibility, you can achieve the same result by staging a few more bombings. Why bother with these roundabout methods? Sending advance notice would have been better.

The notice also included a riddle, allowing the police to deduce the location of the second bomb.

You'd say this kind of person is mentally ill, wouldn't you say?

This design is like deliberately giving Conan, the famous detective, a clue to deduce the truth. No normal criminal would do something so brainless.

Why? Heaven cherishes life, why would a criminal give the police a chance to survive?

Without this notice to aid in deduction, even Conan would have had no choice but to wait obediently beside the bomb, sacrificing himself to obtain the final information.

But because Conan was confident in his reasoning, he deduced the location of the second explosion in advance from the notice, and ultimately resolved the crisis.

The same thing happened three years ago. Matsuda Jinpei also guessed the possible location of the second bomb through his advance notice. However, Matsuda Jinpei was not confident in his reasoning and was not as confident as Conan. He wanted to take a look at the information on the bomb to confirm.

If Matsuda Jinpei had been even a little more confident in his reasoning back then, this guy would have been caught three years ago.

So it's as if the murderer was deliberately playing a guessing game with others, afraid that the police wouldn't be able to catch him?
